Intimate Worlds
For the past 18 years when October arrives, the artists that work at the Enriched Bread Artists studios turn their intimate worlds upside down to see what may have accumulated. Keenly aware that company will soon be coming, this ritual prepares the spaces for public consumption.
This year the Enriched Bread Artists invited award winning Ottawa photographer Justin Wonnacott (R.C.A.) to document our studios prior to preparing them for our annual public extravaganza. This photographic essay will capture the intimate working environments that the general public seldom sees.

YouTube Sensation: Fri, Oct 29, 2010, 8 to 9pm
Indie Rock Performance with EBA Artist Danny Hussey
In what is becoming a bit of an EBA Open Studio tradition, Danny Hussey will perform a subsonic set of original music with a few obscure cover tunes thrown in for good measure. This will be the third consecutive year Hussey has performed using his unique style. This year’s performance entitled YOUTUBE SENSATION will delve into the self producing, self promoting, overnight internet sensations that permeate our culture. Here today gone tomorrow, the modern day one hit wonders. Hussey will perform in front of a laptop web cam while a live audience voyeuristically looks on. This performance will introduce at least 5 new songs including one about Lucy Van Oldenbarneveld, and some favourites from past shows. One of those nights you will say, “I was there when…………..”
