Thank You for Coming! is an Oakville Galleries initiative focused on building sustainable relationships between individuals, communities and contemporary art through a diverse slate of programmes, public events and special projects. Working in partnership with a broad range of local organizations to programme beyond the museum's walls, this project explores the links between art and social engagement.
Thank You For Coming! reaches diverse local audiences, including-but not limited to-seniors, youth, people living with disabilities, and new-generation Canadians. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the various facets of this initiative seek to offer learning opportunities, generate social and cultural exchange, and provide engagement with artistic production.
