Artengine acknowledges that we are located on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinàbe Algonquin Nation.
Artengine is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of the Ottawa 200 Grant for our project, 200 Stories Rising.
Selected through a peer-assessment process, 200 Stories Rising is a mentorship-based media arts residency supporting emerging artists to create large-scale public projections. The project is one of many funded initiatives taking place throughout 2026 as part of Ottawa’s bicentennial celebrations, with a commitment to providing free and inclusive public experiences for all.
We are delighted to have been recognized through this process and are excited to be partnering with Urban Art Collective as we bring this vision to life.
Stay tuned for more updates as 200 Stories Rising takes shape across the city.
