The Blackwood is a contemporary art centre at the University of Toronto, located on its campus in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1969, it is the oldest public gallery in the Peel Region.
The Backwood maintains two public art galleries: its flagship space, the Blackwood Gallery, is located in the Kaneff Centre/Innovation Complex and the e|gallery in the Communication, Culture and Technology Building. It also operates several lightbox exhibits and art displays around the campus. It is named in honour of David Blackwood, the artist-in-residence on the Mississauga campus from the late 1960s to early 70s.
Annual exhibitions organized by The Blackwood showcase work by students in the art and art history joint program of the University of Toronto Mississauga's department of visual studies and Sheridan College.
