Are you a 55+ arts worker who could use some help this winter with grocery delivery or medication pickup? Are you feeling isolated and could use a friendly phone call? PAL Ottawa offers these free services and so much more (virtual concerts, theatre performances, art tours, plus exercise classes) if you are (or have worked as) an actor, writer, dancer, musician, visual artist, arts administrator, translator, editor, set and costume designer, filmmaker, gaffer, etc. It's peer support from someone in your circles who shares the joys and challenges of being an arts worker. It's our way of supporting a community that is too often forced to survive on a low income. Learn more on how we can help you at palottawa.org/new-assistance-and-programming/ ... See MoreSee Less

About PAL Ottawa

We reward the artists who delight us with our applause, and often assume that success in the arts brings financial security. But very few members of the arts community arrive at the end of their career with an adequate pension and other resources. That’s why we created PAL Ottawa: to provide affordable housing and a support system to arts workers in need. Learn more…
