- Le franais suivre - Theres a lot going on under this bridge, even when there isnt a festival, or graff writers, or anyone at all. So much incredible energy and so many memories live in the space our community has created under Dunbar Bridge. During the weekend that would have been HoP 2020, many of us on the House of PainT team felt that pretty deeply. The artistry, the celebration, the joy, the labour and the laughter that these walls, this paint, this place and this... festival hold are so dear to us. We know they hold a lot for you too. During this upcoming week, we want to share some of our memories and we invite you to join us in sharing your own photos, videos, and stories. Lets take a look back at the House we built together-- and take a bit of a peek forward at what shape it will be taking in the future as well. Were kicking it off with this video by Dan Rascal celebrating our ten-year anniversary. Share your memories with the tag #HOPMemories! Much love, The House of PainT Crew ------ Il se passe beaucoup de choses sous ce pont, mme lorsquil ny a pas de festival, ni dcrivains de graff, ni personne du tout.

Murals are one of the most popular forms of public art there is-- and Ottawa has some amazing ones. We wanted to make it a little easier for you to see all the great murals the city has to offer, so weve begun compiling a map of Ottawa murals for you to check out! You can use our suggested neighbourhood tours or create your own by toggling layers on and off. Right now we only have tours for a few neighbourhoods, but well be adding more in the days and weeks to come. Dont see a mural you love? DM us! This map is always growing and changing-- much like the landscape of graffiti and street art, it is affected by its community. Thanks so much to Glebe Business Improvement Area (BIA), Westboro Village, and Downtown Bank for your contributions to our ongoing project!

In case you, woke up today going "ok but where did the airhorn noise COME FROM" But more importantly, how is it spelled? None of the resources seem to point to a definitive spelling and thats a real shame. Any takes? Also, there is a member of the HoP family who does a flawless airhorn sound and I wont tell you who it is but you figure it out pretty quick. Some crews have human beatboxes. We have a human airhorn.
