Kelly Santini is honoured to be presenting this year’s Ottawa Arts Council Emerging Artist Award.

This year, the award will recognize emerging artists of all disciplines from Ottawa’s IBPoC (Indigenous, Black, and Persons of Colour) community.

“We are very excited to be working with the Ottawa Arts Council and the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers on this award. Kelly Santini LLP takes diversity seriously both within our walls and within the community. It is a privilege to be associated with the Ottawa Arts Council and this award especially.” – Mitch Kitagawa, Partner and Head of Diversity & Inclusion
