A huge thank you to all the sponsoring businesses for supporting emerging art & artists in Ottawa. Thank you!! Thank you!! And thank you to everyone for coming out to our Exhibition.

After winning the Award of Visual Merit: Portfolio, Level 2 and The Alumni Award for Integrity of Vision, Josh Hotz hasn’t missed a beat since grad night. This evening you can see his work at GRILLZ AND GLAM PRE-PARTY + JOSH HOTZ PHOTO EXHIBIT. Keep an eye out for his name as this won’t be the last show. Though Josh loves Ottawa, an internship with Color magazine may pull him away to Vancouver for a couple of months this fall. You can check in with him at www.joshhotz.com or follow his blog.
Good luck Josh!
