Artist Run Centres/Art Collectives
Description: These spaces are established by artists for artists. Many of these galleries have mandates that encourage submissions for specific media and support socially and culturally motivated work. Within Canada there are over one-hundred of these centres (the majority within Quebec). The focus of an artist run centre is to present the work of emerging or early-career artists. The gallery programs both solo and group shows that deal with a wide range of materials, subject matter, and conceptual themes. Works tend to be both formally and conceptually experimental in nature.

Commercial Galleries
Description: A commercial or private gallery is managed by an individual or a small group of partners. Often the name of the gallery bears the name of the owner and operator (I.e. Jessica Bradley Projects).
This type of gallery is often referred to as a dealer since they represent and sell the work of artists they have selected. First and foremost, these galleries are businesses and their sole purpose is to profit from their sales. Throughout the year, these galleries present both solo and group exhibitions. If the artist sells work at any time, the gallery takes fifty percent of the sale price. These spaces are able to function based on profits acquired through the sale of work to private, corporate and public buyers (i.e. large institutional museums). Generally, commercial galleries are primarily concerned with representing only work that will generate revenue. It is rare for a viewer to experience large sculptural installations or more provocative and challenging work in this type of venue.

Institutional Galleries and Museums
Description: This type of gallery is probably one with which you are most familiar. These facilities present more than one exhibit at a time and are often managed by a large staff that may include a director, a team of curators, educational directors, volunteers, docents, etc.
Visitng the AGO, you would most likely see a large variety of exhibitions. The work housed in the museum has been acquired through a variety of means. Much of the work on display is part of a larger permanent collection, and often what you see is just a selection of work stored in the vaults of a museum. These large institutions house work that has either been donated or purchased through allocated funds. In addition, many museums become temporary venues for traveling exhibitions that the gallery supports along with its permanent work.
