This commissioning project is generously supported by The Dennis Tourbin
Fund for Emerging Artists, an endowment fund administered by the
Community Foundation of Ottawa. It is a permanent tribute to the greatly
respected late Ottawa artist and his legacy. The fund seeks to encourage
emerging artists to carry out creative works of art that cross
disciplines and traditional boundaries, as well as expand the
presentation of art outside of the gallery walls into the public arena,
reaching new audiences and engaging community.
