Placing artists at the center of its vision, Oakville Galleries strives to be a nationally and internationally leading museum for the presentation of contemporary art, delivering excellent, innovative exhibitions and generating new, invigorating ideas. Our dynamic, diverse and forward-thinking program produces significant positive social impact.
