Founded in 1957, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre ranks as Canada's premier university art gallery, and is the prime public art gallery in southeastern Ontario. Its collection is remarkable for its breadth and quality, ranging from Canadian historical art and Old Master prints and drawings, to important holdings of West African sculpture and contemporary art.

It presents a rigorous program of some 15 exhibitions annually, and a broad spectrum of public symposia, lectures, workshops and artists talks.
With its eight exhibition galleries, historic Etherington House, studio for public programs, Gallery Shop and Art Rental & Sales Gallery, the Art Centre is a focus for the cultural life of Kingston and the region.
