The Distinguished Patrons of the National Gallery of Canada Foundation represent a dynamic pan-Canadian and international community of philanthropists who share a powerful commitment to our country’s leading visual arts institution.
The Contemporary Art Patrons program is comprised of a unique group of donors and connoisseurs who help the Gallery’s contemporary collections thrive.
With a mandate to collect, preserve, and exhibit the finest works of art, from historic to contemporary, Canadian to international, the Gallery has achieved recognition as one of the most respected national art museums in the world.
Our National Outreach Program enhances the visibility of the collection, disseminates art historical knowledge, and enthralls Canadian and visiting international audiences across the nation.
The Venice Biennale is the only international visual arts exhibition to which Canada sends official representation. Artists showing at the Biennale raise their global profile and, by association, that of Canada and Canadian artists.
Launched in 2015, the fund provides vital support to Canadian Artists representing Canada at La Biennale di Venezia and a self-sustaining financial model for the future.
The American Friends of the National Gallery of Canada was launched in 2009 to build meaningful dialogue between Canadian and American donors with an interest in the work of the Gallery.
The Gallery is offering its existing and prospective patrons the opportunity to sponsor its most important galleries and public spaces.
Art patrons across Canada and internationally give to the National Gallery of Canada Foundation because they care deeply about preserving our country’s visual arts heritage for future generations.
Join us and support our important fundraising events wherein monies raised are allocated to support the Foundation and the National Gallery of Canada’s education and exhibition programs.
