Ottawa Citizen informs us:

“Ottawa, finally, is going to have an annual multi-venue photo festival to give some competition to Toronto’s annual springtime photo celebration, Contact, or Montreal’s Le Mois de la Photo in the fall.  Ottawa’s Festival X will be held from Sept. 20-30. At least 13 venues have signed up for photo exhibitions during that period. More are expected, festival organizers said yesterday.

Both private and public gallery galleries in Ottawa and Gatineau are participating: the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, Ottawa Art Gallery, Karsh-Masson Gallery, University of Ottawa visual arts department, Ottawa School of Art, SAW Gallery, Daimon, Foyer Gallery, IPO Gallery, La Petite Mort Gallery, RA Photo Club, Visual Arts Centre in Orleans and Red Wall Gallery at the School for the Photographic Arts: Ottawa.

Besides exhibitions, there will be educational activities, including workshops, lectures and portfolio review sessions.” Read more here
