Minto Arts Gallery
Minto Arts Gallery is a non-profit space that focuses on contemporary art and culture in the Town of Minto, Ontario. We opened in May 1997 and have been located on the third floor of the Harriston Public Library since then. The gallery aims to curate high-quality exhibitions that blend contemporary art with historical elements.
Over the years, the gallery has grown, thanks to the support of our engaged community. We showcase a wide range of artistic expressions and provide a platform for emerging talent. Our space is welcoming to artists and visitors alike, offering a place for everyone to enjoy and learn from art.
At Minto Arts Gallery, we believe in the power of art to bring people together. We strive to spark conversation and inspire creativity in a way that is accessible to all. Whether you are an artist, a visitor, or a community member, we invite you to be a part of our vibrant cultural space.
