'Like' The Gibson Gallery

Welcome to the Gibson Gallery 

The Gibson Gallery is located in South Western Ontario's historic town of Amherstburg.

This former Michigan Central Railroad Station, ca. 1896, is a "state of the art" Art  Gallery 
renovated to its original Romanesque glory
featuring towering ceilings, hardwood floors and showroom track lighting.
A full season of exhibits by local artists and travelling exhibits from
Ontario museums and galleries make this
heritage building a vital center for the visual arts offering
 arts and crafts lessons, our unique Artisan Shoppe and three needle art guilds.
 Our attached Caboose museum highlights local railroad history.
The Gallery is owned and operated by
the Fort Malden Guild of Arts and Crafts,
a charitable organization incorporated in 1975
"to encourage and foster cultural development in the fields of fine arts and applied arts".
Admission to the Gallery is free-donations help support this heritage site.

The exhibition consists of historical and contemporary pieces from the Royal Ontario Museum and works from the collection fo renowned Iroquois beadwork artist Samuel Thomas.
