Our Mission

As a non-commercial, volunteer-run effort, the purpose of OTTAWALLS is to document and celebrate our city's street art before it fades. We keep a growing record of these pieces to ensure artists receive proper credit, turning temporary works into a valuable resource to help the city support more public art. See a wall that deserves to be in the archive? Submit it! This is your city too.

Our Vision

To be the go-to authority on street art in Ottawa, and to facilitate the collaboration of artists, community members, and officials to make Ottawa a city that celebrates its street artists by commissioning new work and acknowledging the importance of street art to community identity.
