Ontario Association of Art Galleries receives funding for
diversity and leadership project
December 11, 2013 - The Ontario Association of Art Galleries (OAAG) has received a grant of $133,300 over 32 months to provide diversity training to strengthen governance, leadership and change management in Ontario's public art gallery network from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
This province-wide project will create opportunities for six culturally diverse arts professionals to design their own mentoring relationships with senior arts managers to help them accelerate their transition into leadership positions in public art galleries across Ontario. Other aspects of the project, which are accessible to all galleries across the province, include workshops and a resource website.
“OAAG developed this project based on feedback from OAAG member public galleries and organizations. The OAAG Board and staff are excited to start work on this innovative new project,” says Virginia Eichhorn, President of the OAAG Board of Directors. “OAAG is committed to the development of visual arts centres in Ontario.”
OAAG is a registered charitable organization that serves and represents Ontario's dynamic public art galleries as valued and essential centres of art and learning.
OTF announced investments in 324 not-for-profit and charitable organizations across Ontario on November 26 as well as 27 grants that will support larger, province-wide projects – including the grant to OAAG.
By working with not-for-profit organizations at the local level, and other groups that operate on a larger scale, OTF is maximizing the impact of our investments and helping to build a healthy and vibrant Ontario.
