Minto Arts Gallery
Minto Arts Gallery opened in May 1997 and is located on the third floor of the Harriston Public Library. In this space, we aim to develop high-calibre exhibits that blend contemporary arts with historical components. We are always on the lookout for creative and emerging talent, and as a result, the gallery has become the home of many local and national artists.
