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.
As of 2010, the Gallery has partnered with institutions in regional urban centers through its [email protected] program, an award-winning initiative enabling a collaborative and deeper access to the national collection to inspire more Canadians through art. The two current [email protected] partners are the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton and the Winnipeg Art Gallery
We invite you to explore the Gallery’s remarkable collection beyond the national capital region – across Canada or wherever your travels may take you.
