Minto Arts Gallery
Minto Arts Gallery is a non-profit, exhibition-driven space dedicated to contemporary art and culture in the Town of Minto, Ontario. Since our inception in May 1997, we have been located on the third floor of the Harriston Public Library. We aim to curate high-quality exhibitions that blend contemporary art with historical elements.
The gallery has seen significant growth, thanks to our engaged community and the rich diversity of artistic expressions it fosters.
We actively seek out creative and emerging talent, making the gallery a welcoming home for many artists.
