Welcome to the University of Toronto Art Centre

Housed in University College, a splendid Romanesque revival building, UTAC is located in the heart of both the U of T’s St. George Campus, and the city’s Museum district. Visitors to UTAC are steps away from the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Bata Shoe Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Gardiner Museum and the Textile Museum of Canada.

Open to the public, UTAC’s exhibitions embrace a range of media, art forms and time periods. They offer an engaging gallery experience complemented by tours, lectures and symposia featuring internationally renowned artists, writers and academics.
