Ontario Association of Art Galleries

The Ontario Association of Art Galleries (OAAG) was established in 1968 to encourage development of public art galleries, art museums, community galleries and related visual arts organizations in Ontario, Canada. It was incorporated in Ontario in 1970, and registered as a charitable organization. The OAAG is a successor organization to the Southern Ontario Gallery Group founded in 1947, renamed the Art Institute of Ontario in 1952. The OAAG runs courses and workshops and provides assistance to art galleries in areas such as conservation and arranging exhibitions.[1] Most member galleries participate in a reciprocal admissions program, where membership of one gallery gives admission to the others.[2] The organization provides a liaison between galleries and the Ontario Arts Council.[3]

OAAG Awards

The Ontario Association of Art Galleries hosts an annual juried and peer-assessed award show in celebration of outstanding achievement, artistic merit, and excellence in arts institutions and professionals in the public art gallery sector. The OAAG Awards recognize new exhibitions, publications, programs and community engagements that have been produced and commissioned by Ontario’s public galleries throughout the past year.

Membership

OAAG's membership [4] consists of over 200 art museums, public art galleries, artist-run centres, visual arts organizations, professional colleagues, and friends across Ontario, including:
