The Brantford Arts Block aims to give local artists, of every age and skill level, the chance to showcase their works in an open and accessible venue. Upcoming, emerging and professional artists display their work together helping to attract new and diverse audiences. Exhibitions generally feature 1-4 artists and will remain in the gallery for approx six weeks. The Brantford Arts Block attempts to showcase the entire arts community featuring contemporary and traditional artists that work in a variety of mediums such as oils, acrylics, mixed media, photography, 3-dimensional sculptural works, metals, wood and more.
We Want You on Our Exhibition Committee!

This invitation is open to all who want to contribute their ideas for curating and organizing exhibitions in our gallery space, as well as those who want to assist in reviewing exhibition requests.
