OPABF's last panel focuses on the question: What is the role of Canadian arts organizations in championing artists’ publications to the public? On March 29 at 4:50pm join designer, archivist and @artmetropole Communications & Library Services Manager Tess Davey, and @arcmtlco-founder and director Louis Rastelli for "From Counternarratives to Collections: Making Artists’ Publications Public in Canada". They'll share their efforts towards the recognition and celebration of Canadian artists’ books, zines and multiples in the public realm. From creating platforms to promote and preserve local independent culture, to building new audiences and communities, to developing partnerships with provincial and federal cultural institutions to grow institutional collections, panelists will discuss these various initiatives, their current organizational projects, and what might be next. Facilitated by artist and @saw_centre curator Jason St-Laurent.

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.
The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
