There are 3 floors and are mostly Canadian based. There are a few expositions that I do not understand why they are there but at the same time I am not an artist. There is never a lineup but there is always a flow of people. I do know that there are events which I will have to inquire since I have read reviews about them and they sound awesome!.... On a side note, the washrooms are super clean. I also have never tried the cafe which is in the back. I will have to try it soon!

I love this place. I love their Canadian art collection, the Firestone Collection. I love how they…read morefeature local artists. I love the bright, airy spaces full of colour, the daring, provocative collections. And it's all available to the public 6 days a week FREE. When it's open, I love to have a drink or a coffee in the Jackson cafe downstairs with people I love. I walked in today and discovered Don Kwan, a friend of mine, had a show show upstairs, and I was thrilled to feel this close artistic connection with my city. We wandered casually through the gallery and gift shop and met up with a mutual friend, also a friend of Don's. It was crazy to make a social connection in this place that I love so much. Floor after floor was new and totally different contemporary art, in different media and styles. I had brought my sketch book and a pencil with intentions to do some drawing inspired by my surroundings, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to sit and contemplate. There's even an installation on the second floor with chairs, but they are all connected and you can't sit on them! There's a new exhibit coming March 26, and another exhibit on BIPOC artists in May. I can't wait.

Almonte, Ontario is an eclectic tourist town with many surprises but I wasn't expecting a New York…read moreor Toronto quality art gallery along the banks of Canada's Mississippi. The owner is an attorney, turned astronomer, artist and gallery owner. His own work looks like it was taken from the Hubble telescope but apparently he works here on earth. Beware that light on the horizon, it may not be sunrise or sunset but the glow of Toronto in the far far distance of the night sky. I imagine with all the light pollution it must be increasingly difficult to work without heading to the far north. Sanjeev Sivarulrasa does a fantastic job of sifting through the stars and time itself to capture magical moments. A real 'must see' for anyone visiting Almonte. He also exhibits sculptures derived from the human form by Sue Adams and Deborah Arnold's carved stone formations of chlorite, alabaster, and marble. Adrienne Dagg, an emerging young artist, also on exhibit, explores the depths of portraiture and narrative figure painting. Dale Dunning is another of the galleries sculptors, working primary with very creative masks... at least in the exhibit I saw. Several other artists are also represented by Sivarulrasa's Studio and Gallery. Certainly worth the drive out from Ottawa. I'm glad I stopped in from California.

I liked that there was a bench in front of a couple of the bigger paintings for more relaxed viewing and it reminded me of some of the larger galleries I have been to. Some of my favorite pieces were a huge flower and some kind of splattered paintings with numbers and symbols as well a colourful areas. Art was hung on the walls, as well as leaning in other areas, giving the gallery a more relaxed feel.
