🏰 Apt613 has found an apartment with the coolest roommates!

🖨️ For the first time ever, Apt613 will have an actual office space, and it’s already one of our highlights of the year. We'll be the organization in residence, with @artengine at @artscourt, and we’re incredibly grateful and excited for this opportunity!

📫This next chapter gives us space to be closer to artists and collaborators, and to root ourselves more deeply in the arts community we serve. It also opens up new ways of working together, from storytelling to shared programming.

📍Find us at Artengine!
April 2026 – March 2027
We can’t wait to see you there!

🎭 Written by Sandy Rustin and recently on Broadway in 2023, The Cottage sees a secret affair come to a head during a naughty weekend away. Sylvia and Beau have a slew of somewhat unexpected guests arrive, and things take a wild turn.

The Cottage takes place at Ottawa Little Theatre until Oct. 10, with 7:30 pm evening performances from Wednesday to Saturday and 2:30 pm matinee performances on Sunday. The show runs for 120 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.

Ottawa’s four main contenders for mayor sat down at Arts Court Theatre on Tuesday night to debate arts and culture.

On stage was Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, who is seeking re-election; Jeff Leiper, city councillor for Ward 15 Kitchissippi; Neil Saravanamuttoo, an economist and city hall outsider; and Alex Lawson, a housebuilder.

From my second-row seat, I took notes on the attitudes of different candidates and the contrasts between policy.

The first half of October and there’s lots to enjoy: gorgeous trees, bountiful produce at farmers markets, scrumptious Thanksgiving dinners, and of course, films at the ByTowne and the Mayfair.

Just start the damn thing already.

Thank you to @apt613 for featuring Build It Anyway and capturing all the feels so accurately. Shoutout to Lashanda Forsberg for her thoughtful writing, which captures the spirit of the evening and the community behind it.

Our speakers proved there's no right time to begin:
@amandathirkillphoto for reminding us that a creative career starts when you start it, not when everything is in place.
@felouli.design for showing us you don't have to colour inside the lines. You create them.
@chris_rouleau for turning every "this is terrifying" into a "yes, and."
