Minto Arts Gallery
The Minto Arts Gallery, located on the third floor of the Harriston Public Library, was opened in May 1997. Always looking to creative and upcoming talent, it has become the home of many local and national artists.
The Gallery provides:
- an opportunity for local artists to display their work in their community;
- a place to display objects of historical interest to the community;
- a facility to house community interest in the past, present and future.
