The Cathedral Arts Program seeks to celebrate and promote the visual and performing arts by means of the unique setting offered by Ottawa's historic Christ Church Cathedral.

 

The celebration of the arts within the precincts of the Cathedral are by no means new or novel.  Throughout medieval Europe the crowning glory of any city was its Cathedral.  These resplendent architectural marvels were more than a place of worship.  They were the heart of the community's culture and society - offering a setting where artists and musicians presented their masterworks and where dramatists and performers of the day both taught and entertained with their mystery and morality plays.  It is this respected tradition which inspired Cathedral Arts to embark upon its program of celebrating the arts at Christ Church Cathedral.

 

We hope that by offering concerts, dramatic productions, exhibits, and educational lectures that Christ Church Cathedral will be seen as a place where members of the entire community, audiences and artists alike, can come to fulfill themselves not only spiritually, but culturally and educationally.

 

Cathedral Arts is operated by a small volunteer committee which always welcomes enthusiastic newcomers of all creeds interested in the arts.  Financial support comes wholly from the proceeds of events, Cathedral Arts Patrons, supporters and the sponsorship of local businesses.
