Art, something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses

Water, an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, vital for all known forms of life


Art & Water are two elements with which we cannot live without - two subtle essentials that we sometimes barely even know they’re present. From the way we speak, dress, present ourselves, the work we do, art is in everything, just like water, an inescapable component that covers 70% of the worlds surface, 60% of our bodies, and is the basis for 100% of the food we eat.

Art & Water was founded in 2019, operating in Hamilton, Ottawa & Toronto, is registered charity whose mandate is to empower artists, brighten lives and sending ripples into community.

We accomplish this with unique and engaging art and cultural experiences on the water. Read more on our story, projects and how you can get involved below.
