Services & Activities
OAAG's main service is a membership program that is open to art galleries, non-profit arts organizations, individuals, and anyone who supports the public art galleries of Ontario. We encourage our members' publishing of exhibition books and catalogues, and reward this excellence through the annual OAAG Awards. OAAG maintains its own publication program, and produces handbooks and other informational books relevant to the non-profit art gallery sector. As well, we regularly provide professional development opportunities across the province for our members and other interested arts professionals.
Research Services
The OAAG Secretariat is home to a growing resource centre, comprised of our publications, members' publications and newsletters, government resources, periodicals, exhibition catalogues, directories, and many files of information covering various issues pertinent to our sector.

Educational Programs
OAAG offers workshops and professional development opportunities to mid-career and senior gallery professionals through the Cultural Management Series, as well as to emerging arts administrators through the new Blue Soup series. We offer approximately 6-8 workshops, roundtable discussions, and plenary sessions throughout the year. Each session is unique, and we have covered topics such as copyright, travelling exhibitions, facilities development, and curatorial writing in the art gallery. OAAG has also provided training, through internships, to a number of university and college students.
