A forum for the exchange of knowledge, skills and forward-thinking ideas at Pique.



Topique returns this fall with artist talks, panels and workshops on September 27, 2025. 

Topique offers curious audience members an opportunity to participate in important cultural dialogues and hear from artistic leaders. Artists and cultural workers are invited to learn from professionals in a series of hands-on workshops and panel discussions. 

Committed to a vision for a more equitable and sustainable arts ecosystem, Topique nurtures a community-driven approach to artistic growth, ensuring that diverse voices shape the future of the arts.

Admission is free with a ticket to Pique, or pay-what-you-can at the door. Each sesssion is subject to capacity of the venue it is held in, and a pass does not guarantee admission or a seat in all sessions. Please plan to arrive early to ensure admission.






We acknowledge and pay respect to the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people on whose land we operate. If you support our programming, please consider supporting a local Indigenous organization or fundraiser.

Pique is a forward-thinking, artist-driven quarterly event series featuring eclectic musical, visual and multimedia artists, produced by Debaser. Pique takes place four times per year at the Arts Court (67 Nicholas St, Ottawa). 

2025 Pique dates are March 7-8, June 7, September 27 and December 13.
