Welcome to the Ottawa Art Gallery.  As a public art gallery, the OAG is a space for reflection and respectful dialogue. We believe that art plays an important role in addressing and helping us to better understand the complex, global challenges of our time. To that end, we prioritize care in all we do and we condemn all forms of hate.

The Ottawa Art Gallery is home to the Art and Artists of the Ottawa-Gatineau region; where you can experience the collections, exhibitions, and events that link us and where connection happens between Art and City.

We are the open door to art, community, and culture. Ottawa is our home to celebrate, and the OAG is where culture resides and thrives: free, inclusive, welcoming, and rooted in the public good.

Admission to the OAG is always FREE.
