Services
= Advocacy
=
GOG's advocacy initiatives are a pillar of their service to the sector. These services include lobbying, outreach and education, among others. The organization works on behalf of public art galleries, and the cultural sector in Canada as a whole, to increase public awareness of issues affecting the visual arts and culture sectors in /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario and Canada.
= Professional Development
=
GOG produces professional development opportunities designed to increase the capacity of their members to navigate and advance in the cultural sector, taking the form of workshops, think tanks, symposiums and other initiatives. These professional development opportunities cover a wide range of relevant topics, including emerging technologies, new ways of working, accessibility, strategy, and engagement. The programmes are mainly tailored for emerging to senior-level arts professionals working in /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario's public art galleries, but are often applicable to arts professionals across the board. GOG's membership program and various initiatives also serve as tools for network building to strengthen the body of public galleries across /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario.
Awards
The /info/galeries" target="_blank">Galeries /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario / /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario Galleries Awards program is one of the most comprehensive and established among /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario's sectoral arts awards programs and was first established in 1978. They are also the only annual juried awards to recognize excellence and significant achievement in programming and partnerships within the /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario public art gallery sector and, in doing so, advance, empower, and strengthen Canada's visual arts sector.
The Awards recognize new exhibitions, publications, programs and community engagements that have been produced and commissioned by /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario's public galleries throughout the past year. In 2019 GOG introduced the Changemaker BIPOC Award. This Award celebrates the diverse and innovative arts practices of Black, Indigenous, People of Colour leaders, which are essential to the country's cultural vitality. GOG acknowledges that historic and systemic barriers have affected access to opportunities and resources for BIPOC arts professionals. This has led to marginalization and inequities for artists and arts leaders in presenting and practicing their work within public art galleries in /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario.
There are twelve award categories for artistic merit and excellence:
Exhibition (subdivided by cost)
Curatorial writing
Art writing
Public program
Education
Art publication
Design
Partnership
Lifetime achievement
Colleague
Volunteer
Membership

Members can join as an institution (public art galleries or affiliate organizations), individual (someone who works in an art gallery, or a student) or business (commercial galleries or other for-profit groups).
GOG's membership consists of over 270 art museums, public art galleries, artist-run centres, visual arts organizations, professional colleagues, and friends across /info/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario, including:
