This report prepared by Hill Strategies Research for the Ontario Association of Art Galleries.

The Statistical Profile of Art Galleries in Ontario is a quantitative analysis of 47 Ontario-based, non-profit and charitable art galleries in 31 municipalities across the province. The report presents a clear picture of Ontario’s public art galleries as incredible dynamic, motivated and engaged visual arts producers, working all across the province – from Thunder Bay to Temiskaming Shores to Ottawa to Toronto to Windsor and back to Owen Sound.

This clear, concise and accessible report is based on participating galleries' last completed, audited financial year prior to September 30, 2013. It summarizes findings in gallery operating structure, changes over the past 20 years, exhibitions, publications, hours, admission fees, attendance, community engagement, arts education activities, marketing, collections, workforce, capital projects, and operating finances.

The report contains useful results for public art galleries, volunteer boards, funders, policy makers and the public. It can be used as a tool for art gallery sector analysis, benchmarking and future planning.
