With one of Canada's premier research-based universities (University of Guelph) and a diversity of manufacturing, service, and high technology enterprises in the region, Guelph is among Canada's most arts-intensive and socially engaged communities, and one of the fastest growing economic regions in the country. More information about the City of Guelph may be found here (www.guelph.ca).
About the Gallery:
The AGG is widely known for its exhibition programs and for its collections of more than 9000 works of art, which jointly cover three centuries of Canadian and international art. The AGG has a broad public role, supported by its relationship to three sponsors: the University of Guelph, the City of Guelph, and the Upper Grand District School Board. The gallery is housed in a renovated historic building (dating to 1904) and features a Sculpture Park on the adjacent grounds. The Sculpture Park is the largest outdoor art collection at a public gallery in Canada, with 39 permanently-sited works representing artists from across Canada. Known internationally for its Canadian contemporary art collection, historical European print collection, and for its Inuit and First Nations collections, the AGG produces 12-15 exhibitions per year, some of which tour regionally, nationally, and internationally.
