The Gibson Gallery invites members to take part in a special exhibition celebrating two important milestones: the 130th anniversary of the historic Michigan Central Railroad Station and the reopening of the Caboose Museum.

Running from October 1-11, this commemorative exhibition explores Windsor-Essex’s rich transportation history and the stories that helped shape our community. Artists are encouraged to submit transportation-themed artwork inspired by trains, railways, automobiles, ships, bicycles, aviation, or any form of travel connected to Windsor-Essex's past and/or the history of the Gibson Gallery itself.

This members-only exhibition welcomes a wide range of artistic styles and interpretations, from historical representations to contemporary and imaginative works.

Artwork submissions are limited to a maximum size of 16" x 20".

No AI generated images will be accepted.

Join us in celebrating 130 years of history and transportation through art.

Closing Reception: October 11, 2:30-4 p.m.

On the Wall Off The Wall 3 brings together two returning artists whose work blurs the line between the familiar and the unexpected.

Stephen Gibb returns with his signature pop surrealist paintings, where bold imagery, humor, and imagination collide. Joining him is Robert MacLellan, whose bizarre and meticulously crafted surreal sculptures transform everyday materials into curious, thought-provoking creations.

Whether hanging on the wall or standing free in the gallery, each piece invites you to look a little closer and embrace the strange, the playful, and the extraordinary.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up, and bear witness to the wild visual oddities of the Zen Freakshow. With this stupefying exhibition, the eccentric and amazing artist Jay Raven presents for your visual digestion and mental contemplation a shocking and curious selection of his intriguing and imaginative works of art. Some say these bizarre compositions are the ninth wonders of the world; some say they are the alchemical illustrations of a man possessed. Is it just inspired creativity, is it perhaps madness, it’s up to you to decide -admission is free. Be amazed, be astounded, be thrilled; you’ve seen the rest, now see the best. Come, enter the Zen Freakshow, if you dare.

Looking in a Rear View Mirror: Art Reflections by Bobbi (Barbara) Wagner

July 6 - 26

Reception Date: July 19th, 2-4 PM

True to the Impressionist style, Bobbi Wagner’s paintings evoke time, place and mood.

In her words:

“I am a colourist, focused on plein air painting in the tradition of the Impressionists.

I love getting up early to chase the light, painting water, sky and clouds in all the colours that nature creates. Seeing a sunrise shedding its early morning light on the landscape and the sunset filled with radiant colours inspires me. Using the full spectrum of pigments, I aim to capture the atmosphere and feeling of the day through light and shadow. I often work in my studio, developing larger paintings from my plein air studies, photos and still-life set-ups. Fruits and flowers are some of my favorite still-life subjects. I love their beautiful colours, organic shapes and their cast shadows”.

As an award-winning artist and educator, Bobbi Wagner has exhibited internationally, and her work is held in collections across Canada, the United States, Japan, Central and South America. Her international solo exhibitions include an Artist Residency and Solo Exhibition in The Casa de Cultura National Gallery of Ecuador, Quitio, SA, in 1995 and exhibitions in The CDX Gallery, Quito, and Huillacuna Gallerias De Arte, Banos, Ecuador, SA.
