CAMDO-ODMAC serves as a convener and catalyst for public art museum and gallery directors who lead a diversity of visual arts institutions across Canada. The unique role played by CAMDO-ODMAC within the arts sector accounts for the organization’s longevity (founded in 1964), record of continuous activity, and strong relevance to its membership. CAMDO-ODMAC provides the only forum for directors to engage in frank and open discussion of the opportunities, issues, and challenges they face in running art institutions, and in collecting, presenting, and promoting the visual arts for all Canadians.
