Understanding The Organization

The Art Gallery of Georgina is where Georgina’s artistic heritage lives, grows and is shared — through a permanent collection rooted in Albert Chiarandini and a year-round program of exhibitions, learning and community engagement.

The Art Gallery of Georgina is a registered charitable organization and public art gallery in Sutton West, Ontario. 

We steward a significant permanent collection featuring Albert Chiarandini and other Canadian artists, and present exhibitions, programs and cultural experiences that enrich community life. We are a welcoming cultural home where visitors of all ages can encounter art, learn together and connect with the stories that shape our region.

The Art Gallery of Georgina is more than a place to look at art. We are a cultural institution that preserves the region’s artistic heritage, supports living artists, and creates meaningful experiences for our community through exhibitions, programs and the long-term care of our permanent collection.
