Story

In the early 1970’s the Bell’s Corner’s Arts League ( now the Nepean Fine Arts League ) requested studio space and the former City of Nepean responded by offering the basement of the Pioneer Building at 1683 Merivale Rd. “5 Below” opened its doors in 1972 to 30 eager art students.

Ten years later in 1982, the NVAC continued to increase its use, offering 113 programs to 1258 participants in total. In 1988 after a renovation to offices in the Nepean Sportsplex the Nepean Visual Arts Centre relocated to its current home in a purpose-built art centre with proper studio spaces and arts equipment. Forty years after its inception the Nepean Visual Arts Centre is still going strong with an annual participation of 2400 students and boasts the largest public pottery facility in the region with 800 users annually and an approximate 52,000 pieces being created each year !

Learn in a relaxed and creative studio setting. The Nepean Visual Arts Centre focuses on fine arts, pottery and specialised workshops. The NVAC offers programs at the Nepean Sportsplex and its satellite location, the Nepean Creative Arts Centre in Bells Corners.

Reviews
I took a beginner wheel class elsewhere and am glad I did before signing up for a City of Ottawa beginner wheel class. The instruction was quite sporadic and either took too much of the class time, not allowing any time to practice, or too little, with little to no hands on help. I would have been completely lost had it not been for my previous instruction elsewhere.
I love that they offer parent and child pottery! So fun having an opportunity to create alongside our favourite people. The instructor was helpful and knew her stuff, giving tips and tricks as needed. Looking forward to returning to pick up our finished pieces.
Beautiful art work. They offer classes.
Best summer camp for kids. Thanks to City of Ottawa.
Received vaccine. Very well organized. Proper directions. Helpful staff. Clear directions. Very knowledgeable staff. Offered great information.
Best community centre in the area.
Very useful place
Nice place with art, music, dance and theater classes. Convinient studious, free parking
First time visitors may not find the entrance without asking at the main door. And Sunday morning it is a busy place.
Wheelchair accessible, variety of programs and great instructors.
