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.

What's On

"Photography Collected Us”: The Malcolmson Collection

24 January – 10 March 2012

Organized by UTAC and curated by Heather Diack, this exhibition reflects on the compelling power of photography to create relationships. The title plays off the collectors’ own confession that “we did not collect photography, photography collected us.” This exhibition explores the enigmatic humanity that is contained in each photographic moment collected by the Malcolmsons and how the very notion of a collection is held in tension by the disjuncture between being alone and being together simultaneously.

The Art of Devotion

Byzantine and Post Byzantine Icons from the Malcove Collection

Ongoing

This exhibition, drawn from the University of Toronto’s Malcove Collection, is organized around two central themes: icons dedicated to Mary and the Christ Child, and icons representing Christ and important saints in the Christian tradition.
