A keystone of its mandate, the Gallery endeavors to further the knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts through touring exhibitions, loans, and national and international partnerships.

We invite you to explore the Gallery’s remarkable collection beyond the national capital region – across Canada or wherever your travels may take you.
