Exhibitions

The Art of a Good Death features selected works from a national art competition seeking to translate the academic literature on a “good death” into art. Six artists from four provinces across Canada are featured.

Galerie Annexe and the OAG Shop are pleased to present their annual holiday showcase, Art + Parcel.

Endless Becomings brings together eleven visionary artists who are shaping the future of contemporary art.

Grotto showcases a selection of artworks generously donated by Bill Staubi to the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG) in 2024. This exhibition pays homage to Staubi’s unwavering support for queer artists and his deep-rooted commitment to Ottawa’s vibrant contemporary art scene. 

This work delves into the beauty of flowers and their Fibonacci connections, as well as cosmic fascination and intertwining Earth and lunar rhythms.

The Firestone Collection of Canadian Art is a significant art collection that spans the modern period and includes work from a wide range of Canadian art styles, geographical regions, and periods. The two largest themes represented in the collection are landscape and abstraction.
