The main focus of Oakville Galleries' permanent collection is contemporary art with an emphasis on Canadian works. The permanent collection is developed following ideas explored through the exhibition program and attempts to reflect key issues that have meaning for our communities. Oakville Galleries' permanent collection contains over 1000 works of art, valued at over 1.7 million dollars. Oakville Galleries aims to make compelling exhibitions that challenge conventional artistic thinking; to present the work of living artists who are making a significant contribution to contemporary art; to develop the visual and media arts as both a source of and tool for learning; to bring together the many audiences of art closer together and closer to the art; and to encourage visitors to regard art as an integral part of their lives.
