about the opes space
OPES Family Advisory is located at 1545 Carling Ave #700 in Ottawa. Although not open to the general public, they hold regular events for their clients and potential clients providing exposure to local artists who have artwork hanging in their Grand Hall space.
I am the first to admit I know little to nothing about art and never even grew up exposed to a lot of art. But I do love beautiful spaces and as we designed our new office, I knew we had to do something special with our “Grand Hall” and I knew I wanted to involve the community somehow.
Eventually I came up with the idea to have an art gallery for local community associations/ artists and clients. We invested in a professional display system and the concept came to life.
We are excited now to be able to host the various associations at events.
