Instagram and National Arts Centre collaborate to celebrate #Empty spaces

 Instagram and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa hosted the first official Canadian #Empty event – inviting some of the capital’s best Instagrammers to capture beautiful snapshots and video of the space before it opened to the public. The new Minister of Heritage, Mélanie Joly, was on hand to welcome attendees.

The goal of these events is to bring people together and celebrate the beauty of Canada through the lenses of art, culture and photography.

The #Empty trend was started in 2013 by American Instagrammer Dave Krugman at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. The idea is to give Instagrammers a rare opportunity to experience a cultural institution when it’s empty, either before or after-hours.
