The Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM) is a public, not-for-profit, art gallery that was founded in 1987, opening its doors in the new Mississauga Civic Centre that same year. The AGM presents a changing calendar of contemporary, thought-provoking, engaging and accessible exhibitions featuring regional, national and international artists.
We thrive alongside long-time partners and welcome new collaborators to always be presenting and encouraging those artists that are established, new and upcoming. Mississauga has a population of over 800,000, with varied cultural demographics and is projected to grow to 996,000 by 2031.

The Art Gallery of Mississauga is pleased to present its First Annual Juried Show of Fine Arts. This prestigious exhibition will showcase an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary visual artworks. 312 artist submissions were reviewed by the jurors on their artistic merit, with no artists identified.
The Art Gallery of Mississauga presents selections from the permanent art collection. Changing with each exhibition period, these thematic groupings are accompanied by educational resources and activities. With this space, the AGM hopes to provide opportunities for deeper engagement between visitors, art and the community.
Noni Kaur welcomes guests with an antidote of sweetness. She holds the viewer through a sensory experience by asking "how do we navigate these spaces?" Her work is a living piece formulated through a process of sensual expression and a rich fluidity of domestic rituals. As the work grows roots, patterns organically form while the artist straightens her spine to expand her reach.
The AGM seeks to foster community, transcend disciplinary boundaries and provide spaces where alternative modes of thought are supported and activated in tangible ways. This takes place through our exhibitions, collections and experimentation in contemporary culture. Importantly, it takes place through our efforts in community engagement.
By using stories and narratives as our main resource, we aim to fuel alternative ways of seeing across a broad range of physical and cultural contexts. The project celebrates the Art Gallery of Mississauga's commitment to bringing people and communities together using art as a common denominator. The stories are personal and powerful, giving the audience access to personal histories and realities.

We booked tickets on a Sunday and showed up to find out it was closed. Why were they providing tickets for a day that it was closed? On another occasion, I looked online and they said the gallery was open but when we showed up... it was closed. I don't understand why they can't provide accurate hours...

Yes, it's very small but that makes it easy to get through and enjoy. Knowing that you don't have to Pace yourself or hurry to the next piece of art. Don't forget that it's also free (3$ donation is suggested). Good place to walk through on your way somewhere else at the very least and I like how they keep changing their exhibits (inviting local artists?)
