Canadian art institutions

Canadian art institutions are organizations dedicated to collecting, preserving, exhibiting, and promoting the country's artistic heritage. Major institutions include national museums like the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, which showcases Canadian and international art, and provincial museums such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. There are also specialized galleries, art schools, and private foundations supporting artists and art education. These institutions serve as cultural hubs, fostering public understanding, appreciation, and dialogue around diverse artistic practices and histories across Canada’s regions.
