Gallery On The Lake Celebrating 20 Years of Canadian Art Excellence!

It is autumn, and the landscape is turning to golds and reds – a fleeting beauty which all too soon will be followed by the cold and dark of winter, a time to make the most of being at home.

From the moment you turn off County Road 36 and make your way amid the canopy of trees along the roadway carved through rock and forest, it feels like an adventure. The beautiful cedar-clad octagon which seems to rise up from the granite on which it sits beckons you inside, to a breathtaking array of art – the wide circular corridor opening up to room after room of tastefully presented paintings, sculptures and so much more.

Owner Esther Inglis is proud of the Gallery’s 20-year milestone and of the outstanding reputation it has earned for itself. And she is proud of the one hundred or so pantings on gallery wallartists represented within its walls, including exceptional talent from the immediate area: “We have David Grieve (Jack Lake), Peter Rotter (Stoney Lake), Joe Sampson (Kasshabog Lake), Mary Derrick (Selwyn), Jenny Kastner (Clear Lake) and Lucy Manley (Keene), to name a few.”

The Gallery also represents such well-known names as Tim Packer, Eddie LePage, and works by the late Norval Morrisseau, whose style has “undeniably been a major catalyst in the development of Canadian Aboriginal art and is recognized throughout the world.”

Admission to the Gallery is free, and now is the perfect time for a road trip to experience the very best in Canadian Fine Art anywhere. Your search for great art ends here.
