The Art Gallery of Welland is about to take its biggest step yet - our first-ever official Board of Directors and Advisory Committee meeting.

This isn’t just a meeting, it’s an historic milestone for the arts in Welland, marking the beginning of a new era for local artists, creative professionals, and the entire community.

This matters because we’re building Welland’s first professional art gallery - a dedicated space to showcase talent, host exhibitions, and foster, growth and add to the increased creativity.

We’ve assembled an incredible Board of Directors, ready to bring this vision to life, marking the transition from vision to action and impact - setting the foundation for what’s to come.

What’s Next?
Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing major updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and ways the community can be part of this movement.

Follow the journey and stay tuned, this is just the beginning.
