Virtual
7 Works Collective is a group of seven inspirational Ottawa area artists who banded together to create a virtual space to share their expe-rience of the pandemic after their Artscape Artists’ Residency in March 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19. After their initial meeting, they opted to challenge each other to create works of art in their respective mediums. The result is 7 artists—7 challenges—49 pieces of art! The artists include Kathryn Bossy, Mario Cerroni, Lynn Dubinsky, Catherine Gutsche, Judi Miller, Karen Wynne Mackay and Jo-ann Zorzi. Their art is a testament to the power of community to foster creativity, connectivity and friendship during the lockdown.
