40th OAAG AWARDS GALA - And the winner is...
Our 40th anniversary OAAG Awards came to a close on November 27, 2017 as we celebrated Ontario arts with over 300 members of the arts communities and public.
The evening welcomed individuals across Canada as the winners of the 2017 OAAG Awards were revealed! With special guests, Honourable Eleanor McMahon and Councillor Joe Cressy, our host Keith Cole presented us with the 24 winners of the 2017 OAAG Awards! We are proud that the Ontario arts community could gather to celebrate artistic excellence and outstanding achievement of the community as a whole.
That evening, we also officially launched our Annual Donation Campaign. Without the generous support of our donors, we would not have been able to host the largest OAAG Awards to date! Click here to supprt Ontario Arts.
Thank you to all the nominating galleries and a huge congratulations to our 2017 OAAG Award Winners! You have demonstrated the capacity and potential of Ontario's public art galleries and truly reflect the standards of excellence encouraged by the Ontario Association of Art Galleries.

The report presents a clear picture of Ontario’s public art galleries as incredible dynamic, motivated and engaged visual arts producers, working all across the province – from Thunder Bay to Temiskaming Shores to Ottawa to Toronto to Windsor and back to Owen Sound.
