Founded in 1975 and now operated by the Town of Grimsby, the Grimsby Public Art Gallery sits beside the town's Carnegie library building and mounts a changing program of contemporary exhibitions throughout the year. Alongside its shows it runs art classes and workshops for a range of ages, hosts signature community events such as the annual Wayzgoose book-arts gathering, and stocks a gift shop of handmade work by Canadian artisans. Admission is free and the space is wheelchair accessible, making it an easy and welcoming cultural stop for families and travellers exploring the Niagara bench.
