Art has the power to inspire, connect communities, and shape future generations. Through a gift in your will or estate plan, you can help ensure that the transformative experience of art education remains accessible for years to come.

As a non-profit, charitable organization, the Ottawa School of Art (OSA) is committed to providing inclusive, hands-on learning opportunities led by professional artists for people of all ages and skill levels. From introductory workshops to specialized art programs, the OSA creates space for people to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and connect with their community.

Legacy giving helps carry this mission into the future. A planned gift can contribute to scholarships and bursaries, provide essential art materials and equipment, and support programs that make art education more accessible, including the OSA’s Outreach Program, which connects communities with meaningful creative opportunities.

The OSA is proud to be part of Will Power, a national campaign that encourages Canadians to consider charitable gifts in their wills. Through this partnership, supporters can explore how their estate plans can reflect their values and help create lasting change in the causes that matter to them.

Every creative journey begins with an opportunity. By including the Ottawa School of Art in your estate plans, you can help open doors for future artists, inspire lifelong learning, and nurture a vibrant, accessible arts community for generations to come.
