Exhibitions:

• September 10 to 27: On The Wall Off The Wall 3

  Back by popular demand, 2 Amherstburg surrealist legends are returning for On The Wall Off The Wall 3! Stephen Gibb comes with his extra-ordinary thought provoking paintings, while Robert MacLellan brings his meticulously crafted surreal sculptures.

• October 1 to 11: 130th Anniversary Transportation Exhibition & Caboose Museum Reopening

  The Gibson Gallery invites members to take part in a special exhibition celebrating two important milestones: the 130th anniversary of the historic Michigan Central Railroad Station and the reopening of the Caboose Museum. Running from October 1 to 11, this commemorative exhibition explores Amherstburg’s rich transportation history and the stories that helped shape our community.

• October 15 to November 1: The Haunted Station

  They say the Gibson Gallery has a few permanent residents. Long before it became an art gallery, the building served as a Michigan Central Railway station. Over the years, visitors and volunteers have shared stories of unexplained sounds, strange encounters, and things that simply can’t be explained. And in a town with a haunted reputation like Amherstburg, maybe that’s not so surprising.

Workshops:

• August 24 to 28: A Week of Whimsy

  Join teacher Christine Paris for a week of whimsical art, including fairy art, outdoor art and more! $22 for each 2 hour class or $100 for all 5 classes. August 24-28 1 to 3 pm.

• September 14, 6-9pm: Mixed Media Collage with Julie Bell

  Do you have a collection of works on paper (acrylic, watercolour, drawing etc.) that never quite became what you hoped they could be? Dust them off and bring them to this workshop. We will take your works, cut, tear and rearrange them to make two small stunning collage compositions you can be proud of.
