Kanata Gallery at Kanata North Picnic
The Annual Kanata North Summer Picnic has always been a great place for the Gallery to reach out to the community. This annual event has brought the community together—on a magnificent green space—to enjoy culture, food, music and more. In the past we have held painting and carving sessions for adults and children alike, while enjoying great conversations with the visiting public. The Kanata North Summer Picnic is usually held in either July or August.

Remembering David Goold
David Goold. 1937 – 2024
David worked tirelessly, and devoted countless hours of time to ensure the success of the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. He played a vital part in the Gallery’s inception in 1992 and continued to work towards its success throughout his life.
He was a life long Member of the Board of Management, and the Treasurer of the Gallery for many years.
It was David who recognised that although accolades were awarded for excellence in many disciplines of school life, there was nothing to celebrate excellence in the field of Visual Arts.
David coined the phrase Young At Art, and helped found the movement through which young artists could be recognised and celebrated. This movement has spread from Kanata and is now established throughout the Ottawa area.
