Donation banner


In 2020, 28 members of the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA) donated their works to the Government of Ontario Art Collection in anticipation of the OSA’s 150th anniversary in 2022. The selection committee specifically sought out artworks which represented marginalized communities or voices within Ontario. The works included in this donation showcase both past OSA donors and new members and offer a broad snapshot of visual art from across the province.
