The Great Ottawa Holiday Window Takeover - Holiday Season 2026

Are you ready to unleash your creativity while making a real difference in our community? Join us for our Third Annual Fundraiser to benefit Options Housing, where you get to pick your design and enjoy custom hand-painted art—all while supporting a fantastic cause! We provide the talent and supplies! Last year, over 20 businesses participated and raised over $6,000!

How It Works:

Pick Your Design: Choose from a variety of fun and unique designs that suit your style and space. Whether you’re into vibrant florals, whimsical animals, or modern abstracts, there’s something for everyone!
Participation starts at just $300, and participants are encouraged to be as generous as they see fit. Every nickel (because we don't do pennies anymore) will be donated to Options Housing.
We Do the Rest: Our talented artists will come to your location and hand-paint your selected design, turning your space into a personal gallery!
Removal is also included at a later date.

Why We’re Doing This:

All proceeds from the event are donated to Options Housing, an incredible organization dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness. Did you know that Options Housing has helped over 1,000 individuals find safe and stable housing? They provide essential resources like housing assistance, mental health support, and life skills training to empower people to rebuild their lives. In fact, over 80% of those assisted by Options Housing have maintained their housing for over a year!

Why You Should Participate:

Make a Difference: Every dollar you contribute helps provide shelter, support, and dignity for those in our community.
Express Yourself: Customize your space with a unique piece of art that reflects your personality and values.
Have Fun: Gather your friends, family, or coworkers and enjoy a creative day that’s not only productive but also heartwarming!

When is this happening?

Dates: November 11 (after 1 p.m.) through November 19
Location: Ottawa, ON + surrounding neighbourhoods (Rockland to Kemptville to Petawawa and beyond!)
