Will definitely be visiting again soon! Can’t believe I took this long to check out my local art gallery but wow was it lovely! Spent about an hour by myself exploring the art. It was fairly quiet on a weekday. It is free admission but you can donate to the gallery with cash or tap if you’d like. The staff was helpful when I told her it was my first time and told me about the exhibits.I loved the variety of art and the artists showcased. The experiences were immersive (sound, smell, visuals, and interaction). There were free art books and poetry to take home related to the exhibits. I will be back! Update: Came back to see their new exhibits. Again, really thoughtfully curated, inspiring work being exhibited here. There is plenty of seating to come and enjoy the art and I always find it is quite empty. Friendly staff as usual. Love this place.

This is a nice local little gallery running 2-3 exhibits at a time. Each one is meaningful and well presented. I just with there were more to explore.

This local art gallery was so lovely to visit. Admission is free. With large scale exhibitions spanning a range of topics, excellent curation, and a variety of mediums - including aural and interactive art. Our favourite exhibition was about "The Hag" and was so stunningly beautiful my partner and I stayed in the exhibition room in awe for longer than we thought possible. They also have a small collection of art books for sale outside the exhibition hall. There is a paid parking lot and some free street parking up the road if you are willing to walk a bit longer. Currently undergoing renovations, the building is unable to offer washroom access temporarily.

Unfortunately when we arrived there were closed exhibits so it was not as fun as I'd hoped. I do love how big and open it is though. I will definitely be back when there is more to see.
