#725 Open hours at the photo studio

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Our studio has been open for business for 15 months. We operate Ottawa Studio Works as a multi use space – photo studio, gallery & exhibition space, client meeting space + classroom for photo workshops. We have never offered store hours. It’s always been by appointment.

But we’ve often seen people peering through the windows, received emails about the artwork and last week while in a meeting one woman came in to inspect the artwork. “I’ve always wanted to come in and see the artwork. May I loo around?!”

Ok…

We get the hint.

#576 Ottawa Studio Works – Open House: Thank-you!

Monday, January 31st, 2011

A BIG, BIG thank-you for making our first open house so memorable!

We had two evenings of festivities and many generous supporters that helped us celebrate our new photography studio based in central Ottawa.

People grooved to the tunes of DJ Ron LaVoie and ate the scrumptious Ottawa Studio Works cupcakes baked by past student (and fine baker) Nancy on Friday.

Our designer, Roberta G, below, was very excited to see her design work made into food!

On Saturday night the celebration continued with some guests returning for their second night of fun!

By the end of the two night open house we were pretty pleased with the response to our new photo gallery, studio, artwork, photo classroom and community space on Ottawa’s Preston St.

We also raised hundreds of dollars and many pounds of food for the dogs (and all animals in need!) at the Aylmer SPCA and Ottawa Humane Society.

Big thanks to everyone else who helped make it such a success: Nancy and her cupcakes, Ron LaVoie’s DJ service, Bev Webster, Louis Helbig, Roberta, Alain, Caitlin and all the past and future clients, students, supporters, colleagues and friends at HarryNowell.com and OttawaStudioWorks.com.

Biscuit and Tigger say thanks to everyone who helped us help the dogs.
