  1. Welcome to the Gibson Gallery 
  2. 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 Arts & Craft Gift 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.


 Destiny Art Exhibit 
Sponsored by the Amherstburg
         1812 Alive of Amherstburg, Ontario 
In collaboration with the Gibson Gallery and Mudpuppy Gallery 
You are invited to participate in the Destiny Art Exhibit at the Roots to Boots Bicentennial Festival to be held August 3rd, 4th, 5th 2012. This exhibit will be themed to “The Strength of the People”.
The story of war is not just about dates and battles lost or won.  It is also about those who lived and endured them. The spirit of the Roots to Boots Festival and the Destiny Art Exhibit is to commemorate those who lived the war and their ancestors.  Art by local artists will be created to convey their feelings and understandings of this long ago conflict and it’s far reaching influences on people from the distant past to present day.  This exhibit expresses the destiny of our nation that was forged by the strength of its people, as we, their descendants, celebrate 200 years of peace between our nations. 
This is a rare opportunity for the artists to be part of a festival which is expected to draw 50,000 in attendance, to showcase their art in a juried exhibit and have the opportunity to promote their art. Prizes to be awarded to the works which most effectively compliment the theme.
