The Ontario Society of Artists (OSA) is a province-wide professional association for visual artists living and working across Ontario. The OSA’s fascinating history is tied to both art education and provincial galleries, including the Ontario College for Art and Design University (OCAD U), the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and the Government of Ontario Art Collection (GOAC).
This exhibit explores these historic ties as well as contemporary donations by OSA artists to the GOAC. All artworks share a commonality in representing some aspect of Ontario as reflected through the eyes of its talented artists.
