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 art
and craft 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.

Untamed Composition Part 2: The Art Of RICO DANCEL
.
Working primarily with watercolour, Rico captures the true spirit of blooming flowers In exquisite shades, with richness and elegance. Having a great Western influence as his subject matter, he gives a delicate Oriental touch which allows him to express its poetic values. By sputtering bursts of colours, Rico breathes life and energy into each and every one of his paintings in his portfolio.
