The Standard Bread Building was built in 1924, co-founded by Dick Lamothe and Cecil Morrison, father of the late MP and National Capital Commission chair Jean Pigott. Bread was sold and delivered from the site by horse and wagon, with the third floor used as a hayloft hence the name “The Loft Art Studios”, which was founded in 2005.
In 2020, the city of Ottawa designated the building under the Ontario Heritage Act due to it being a good example of early 20th century industrial design. Architect Sydney Comber was known for commercial bakeries and dairy production facilities across Canada where he employed large flared mushroom columns, as seen within the Loft Art Studios today. At present, our space houses 18 working artists from across the Ottawa and Outaouais region. Our artists practice in a variety of mediums ranging from painting to glass work to puppetry.

Enriched Bread Artists (EBA) is a not-for-profit collective of visual artists working in a range of media and techniques. The collective was originally formed in 1992 by graduates of the University of Ottawa looking for studio space and an artistic community beyond university. EBA members have changed over time and today EBA artists come from all over the world. The group’s name refers to the former bread factory where the co-operatively run studios are located.
Designed by Sydney Comber, a dairy and bakery specialist, the Standard Bread bakery was built in 1924. It was founded by Cecil Morrison and Dick Lamothe. Designated a heritage site by the City of Ottawa in 2020, the building is one of the few remaining light-industrial buildings left in Ottawa. When the bakery opened in 1924, it was adorned with a plaque with the Latin proverb: Audaces Fortuna Juvat, meaning Fortune Favours the Bold, which can still be seen near the entrance. The Enriched Bread Artists’ studios are now home to contemporary artists and their studios continuing to sustain the Ottawa art’s scene. The building’s past as a place to produce bread, and its present as a place to produce art, is of interest. Art, like bread, sustains and stimulates society.
