When Ovation brings professional artists to Ottawa from across Canada, we believe they deserve more than just a hotel room. They deserve to feel at home.

​

Our Home Stay Program connects out-of-town performers and creatives with Ottawa residents who have a spare room and a love of the arts. It's a unique opportunity to open your home to a working professional artist. Typically, we are looking for three to four week commitments. 

​

Hosts have told us that it's one of the most rewarding experiences they've had. Artists tell us it makes all the difference.

​

What's involved: providing a private room, access to basic amenities, and a welcoming environment. No experience required, just a genuine interest in supporting the arts and the people involved.

We are so grateful to the Ottawa community members who have opened their homes over the years. This program is one of the things that makes Ovation truly different.
