鈥嬧�嬧�婫rotto: The Bill Staubi Collection
Staubi鈥檚 journey as an art collector began in 1978 with a modest purchase of five artworks from a grad school residence show. This initial spark ignited a lifelong passion for the arts and he developed an expansive collection reflecting his unique tastes, experiences, and perspectives.
Over the last four decades, Staubi has consistently championed emerging artists and the queer community of Ottawa, solidifying his status as a beloved figure in the arts landscape.
The exhibition title draws inspiration from Staubi鈥檚 iconic, cluttered half-bath installation, a personal grotto assembled from gifts, relics, and symbols of relationships. Much like Staubi鈥檚 grotto, this collection brings together artworks that delve into themes of queer identity, community-building, and activism, offering a powerful exploration of human connection.
