The Portrait Gallery of Canada (French: Musée du portrait du Canada) is a federally-registered not-for-profit corporation that currently has no collection or physical presence.[1]
On July 30, 2020, the Portrait Gallery of Canada launched its online presence at portraitcanada.ca.[2]
Private sector donations and in-kind contributions help the Portrait Gallery of Canada in its ability to pursue its vision and showcase its online exhibitions of portraits of people from across Canada and from all walks of life.
Organizers and supporters envision a future when the PGC will: 1) build a world-class collection of historical and contemporary portraits that humanize the stories of Canada’s past and present, and open a window into Canada’s future; 2) host innovative exhibitions in an inspiring physical space that is accessible to visitors of all ages and from all walks of life; and 3) make its future collection and programming accessible to people who live outside the National Capital Region through engaging and interactive web-based and travelling exhibitions.[3]
