Reviews of Orange Art Gallery (Painter)

Matthew Sullivan

If you're looking for a venue for a ceremony, look elsewhere unless cost isn't an issue.

Lia Bellefontaine

Go to this place if you are visiting Ottawa. Quirky location, cool art, free wine and cheese at openings.

Brad

My daughter did an art class here and she absolutely loved it. It's a really great space.

Bob Latrimouche

Nice little art gallery. The staff is super friendly and they offer wedding reception service. The service is top notch. Also it is located in a good central place in Ottawa. Plus lots of parking and I never seen a meter maid around.

Stephanie Clark

Such a ying place that will fulfill your gang with inspiration and focus.

Jacques Mailloux

Lovely venue for an offsite retreat - 20-30 people.

Alex Daniels

Wonderful place for an event, which is why we ended up going, for a friends wedding. It was a beautiful space with interesting artwork and a large patio for guests.

Heliya Mirshahi

I greatly appreciate the accommodating services offered by Orange Art Gallery. It is beyond charming as a historical venue and filled with amazing artistic talent. To top it off, the staff is always prompt and happy to answer any questions. Definitely worth checking out!

Marcus Cantwell

Attended a private event there and it was wonderful. Love the atmosphere, the art and the staff. Great little spot.

Brother Ollie

Beautiful art gallery tucked away near Little Italy. I enjoyed an excellent concert there last night. It was so unique to listen to great music while checking out some sweet art. It was like being at an incredible house party. ...order up on the pints next time . ????

Amazing Venu and beautiful art for sale!

Darren Sharp

We held our wedding here in September and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. It's a stunning building with incredible, historic details. They're always featuring talented local artists, and the owners are absolutely lovely, accommodating people. Whether you're looking at this as an event venue or just wanting to pop into a beautiful gallery, you really can't go wrong here.

Steven Woodhead

Super eclectic artwork that is really accessible (both in terms of price and the non-intimidating atmosphere). Also a fun place for events!

Johanne Ranger

A nice surprise. Loved it

Julie L

A wonderful hidden gem.

Sack Sengthavy

Ingrid is the best.

Maxime Trippenbach

this place was pretty neat. no mention of oranges after entering, but art was something they definitely did have.

ARTIZEN Agape Gardens

Great venue! Had an incredible night with Artizen Kombucha raising funds for Sweet Sanctuary - animal rescue!

Rob Watters

This place is a gem!

Michael Holuj

Went for one of their Music Nights. It was an intimate experience with the band. The gallery is well laid out, and the basement archives contain more art than what's shown upstairs. Everything was nicely set up, great selection of art, reasonably priced bar, and the food selection was interesting and tasty.

Jeff Garland

Cool place, lots of local Ottawa art work

Muddy Tail

Very cool art. Nobody bothers you in here.

Sky Ackerman

Orange Art Gallery has a wide variety of interesting art to look at, the building is beautiful and the staff are friendly and willing to answer any questions you have.

Robert Thomas

Great old building. Nice place for an event.

Marcus Tranquilli

Attended my cousins wedding here July 7th, and the atmosphere and service was incredible. The staff were helpful, and the gallery was clean and filled with interesting art and sculptures. Definitely a destination to visit or to have hosting a special event.

Danielle Lavergne

A great place to take painting classes.

Garry Patterson

Great gallery and party rental space

Aaron Wilson

Pros: great exhibit and event place! cons: can be a little confusing on how to get there if you're walking or using public transit.

François Desautels

Nice surprise! Didnt expect to find that place when I entered the place. Nice vibe, great art, no pretention. I dont know if people in ottawa know that place but I'm from Montreal and this is the kind of place I like to discover around the world. The bad reputation of ottawa about being a boring and heartless city was accurate before I've stopped there. Go head Ottawa and express yourself! This neibourhood is the future of the city for sure! I'd like to know more places like this in the area, probably more things like this goin on but I just dont know them...

James Milks

I can only review it as a live music venue, for which it isn't great. There are not many spots for spectators, and everyone is either side stage or crammed into a narrow space at the front.

Jordan N

Was here for a wedding reception. The staff are absolutely lovely and very attentive to their guests needs. Lovely food and drink options. Can't recommend this place enough!

William Szepesi

Easily accessible gallery with beautiful pine floor boards in an old building with a great variety of artists.

Sophie Yu

Went there for a wedding, its a nice little art gallery.

OddKat Creative

Great venue for events. Complete with catering/bar and art. 10/10

Jonathan Lopez

My first time here... Absolutely love it. Definitely coming back! The bartenders suggestion were on point! ???? Thanks Jon!

Andrew Top

Fun place to mingle and you can even check out the art.

Dick Riddles

Best art gallery in Ottawa, hands down. Gorgeous space.

Emily Walsh

We hosted our wedding reception at Orange Art Gallery in November 2021, and had a wonderful experience! The venue itself is gorgeous - as a heritage building it has a lot of class and character, and the art on the walls only adds to that. Plus makes decor a little easier! We had 58 guests, including ourselves, for a sit down dinner and party, and that felt like a perfect number of people. Intimate but didn't feel cramped. Jon was extremely responsive, leaving no question unanswered (and believe me, we had a lot of them), and the bar service during the party was fantastic. The free parking was much appreciated by our guests. Would highly recommend Orange to anyone considering it for a wedding reception venue!

Oliver Benning

Made a great venue for a family member's wedding

Sarah-Lynn Carkner

Dylan O'Hara

Went to a wedding here. Very nice venue! The catering was good too.

micah garten

Nice event space. Cool art with a wide range of prices and tastes.

Diane Brown

Visited gallery to view an artist's solo exhibition. Good crowd, warm and inviting as always. ????

Gabriel Silk

Very well curated little art gallery with a good variety of works

Grant Andrew Dzuba

Heritage space displaying the best of Ottawa's contemporary art scene. Stylish bar and a small terrace make for fun vernissages. The location at City Centre makes it easy to stop by Art Is In bakery or Beyond the Pale to make for a mellow snack-art-pint kind of afternoon.

Karin Sundin

One of the most cohesive galleries in town. Great place to rent out for a party as well.

Oscar M

hidden from main streat

Aaron Bihari

Set in a historic building that was once the paymaster's headquarters for CN Rail, this is a stellar place to find well-crafted art, take classes with working artists, rent studio space or hold special events. Its location next to City Centre feels both secluded and central. The building is well cared for, and historical details respected, shop or feels like walking into a bit of history, but with interesting & eclectic contemporary art everywhere. The curator recently added a gorgeous bar and patio. If I were to get married again I'd want to do it there. In any case, I love going there because every time I do there's so much interesting, thoughtful & beautiful art there.

Gene Villeneuve

Awesome place.

Lisa Arsenault

Amazing venue

A surprisingly valuable exhibit of hundreds of pieces of good art, for pockets of all sizes. :)

Walked in on a whim but I was impressed by the art here. It's an old house with rooms full of eclectic art.

Joel Cameron Edwards

Great art seen in a quaint old house. Always a cool little spot to get into

Matthew Buttler

Interesting space with a very eclectic and modern collection. Also is a great venue space for a gathering of about 40 people with seating, more without.

Rene Monty

Large collection, good variety, lots of events, nice setup

Rachelle Lavergne

(Translated) The works are superb. However, it is very expensive and only in English. (Original) Les œuvres sont superbes. Cependant, c'est très cher et uniquement en anglais.

Nice gallery with a good selection of artwork

Diane Ashby

It is always with great pleasure that I go to the Orange Gallery vernissage. I enjoy my conversations with the artists, the owners and the patrons. I like to bring friends to the gallery because I love the local and the location. The City Center sure is a funky place! And of course the opportunity to see great contemporary art!! Thanks Jim and Ingrid.

keycrossan

Great place for a night out.

Mike M

Very nice collection, owner was helpful and friendly. Will definitely go back.

Louis Epp

Nice place for a reception, parking lot was a ice rink.

Joe Belliveau

Loved the art, well shown and good lighting.

Chris Smith

Not good business practice from manager. There was a piece I found I wanted to purchase and contacted the artist directly. He told me the piece was at this particular gallery and he cc’d the gallery letting them know the price we agreed to. I asked the gallery if I have the option to break into payments, as I like to pay with cash/debit card and not have credit card debt. Ingrid was very polite and said she can break into 12 monthly payments and mail the piece out after my first payment. They would store my payment method and charge my debit card on the 1st of every month. I was very happy and then the manager, Jim Hollander, said they will not do that. I was quite frustrated and responded back to inquire. This was his response- “Most people borrow from a bank, maybe you should have done this through the bank to begin with, why should we take on your credit risk. How can you expect this from a small business”. I was shocked by his horrible unprofessionalism and lack of basic customer service. His gallery is the one who first offered me to break into 12 payments. While I love this piece, they will never get a dollar from me, so sadly I can’t add this to my collection. I highly recommend shopping elsewhere.

Yannick Tellier

Interesting location.

Juels Foster

Had our wedding reception there and loved it. Beautiful venue and Jim, Ingrid and Omar are exceptional and so helpful. For a day filled with so much love and emotions (men, who never cry, could not hold it back!) it was the perfect backdrop.
