About Our Gallery

The Gallery building originally belonged to the Zion Full Gospel Mission. In 1992, ownership was transferred to the Grand Manan Historical Society, and the structure was then renovated to serve as an art gallery for the Island. The Gallery was established in 1993, and officially opened in 2005 by the Hon. Hermenégilde Chiasson, Lt. Governor of New Brunswick. We are a seasonal gallery, and this year we open on June 1 and close on September 12. We display work by both Island and off-Island artists. Our goal is to provide island residents and visitors with the opportunity to enjoy quality exhibits by both established and emerging artists.

A volunteer Board of Directors maintains the building, plans the exhibitions, and serves in many other ways including hanging shows, preparing press releases, and greeting visitors to the Gallery. The Board is ably assisted by a dedicated group of local volunteers. We do not receive operational funding from any level of government, and we rely on our regular supporters to renew their membership annually.
