About this organization
Before Arts Court was a vibrant centre for performing, media, and visual arts, it served as the Carleton County CourtHouse. Built for this purpose between 1870 and 1871, The CourtHouse was part of a legal precinct that included the former Carleton County Gaol, the Carleton County Registry Office, and the former City Registry Office on Nicholas Street.
The building was designated for demolition by the Ontario Government in 1980, however, in 1985 the City of Ottawa took ownership of the building and designated the Ottawa Arts Court Foundation trustees as its custodians.
Arts Court became Ottawas central arts hub in 1988.
Currently housed in the building are 19+ independent arts organizations including: the Ottawa Arts Council, Canadian Film Institute, Ottawa Dance Directive, Ottawa Fringe Festival, SAW Gallery, SAW Video, and Club SAW. A historic landmark in downtown Ottawa, Arts Court continues to evolve as a vibrant centre for artists and audiences alike.
