The Ryerson Image Centre (RIC) exists for the research, teaching and exhibition of photography and related media. We are an active partner within the academic fabric of Ryerson University, the cultural network of greater Toronto, and the national and international artistic community.

The Collection
We maintain a collection of photography spanning the medium’s history, as well as several artist and journalism archives. The RIC's collection offers researchers the remarkable opportunity to study firsthand works by a diverse group of internationally-renowned photographers.
Youth in Focus
By engaging with new, young audiences, we hope to promote greater inclusivity, equity, and accessibility in a gallery environment. This program is generously supported by BMO Financial Group.
