Following the success of past awards nights, the Orillia & District Arts Council (ODAC) and Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) are planning the historic fifth annual Orillia Regional Arts and Heritage Awards (ORAH). On November 27, 2024, Orillia and area will come together to celebrate the best and brightest from the sector, at Creative Nomad Studios.

The awards were established to recognize the valuable contribution that educators, historians, and event organizers and supporters make to the vibrancy of our communities. 

Everyone is invited, no tickets or admission fees. The awards are proudly sponsored by eCapital. 

Come join and celebrate this vibrant sector in our region!

Members of the organizing committee have been working behind the scenes on the logistics and are excited to announce this year’s 2023 award categories:

• Education in Arts, Culture and Heritage
