Big space with very little on display. I personally did not connect at all with any of the current displays and found them mostly bewildering. My wife, a performer and artist, also struggled with much of it.Signage is miniscule and very difficult to read for anyone without 20/20 uncorrected vision.The only positive was free admission and, given that it was Sunday, free parking.

There's no art at this Art Gallery. Da Vinci created Art. Bob Ross created Art. Michelangelo created Art. What's at this Gallery is just woke individuals trying to bring awareness to homelessness (not art), Native Americans (not art), the Food Bank (not art), then a bunch of artifacts that belong in a 1980's museum. Don't forget the heated rocks that aren't comfortable to sit on and a movie that will put you to sleep on those rocks. Playing "Life on our Planet" from Netflix would have actually been educational for children and adults alike. The homeless don't have an identity crisis, they don't need to be brought to the public's attention. To suggest that the public is not aware of homelessness is a pretty big insult to the public. If anyone in Canada cared about Native Americans including the moron who built the exhibit, you would have packed up your belongings and left Canada for your heritage homeland be it Europe, Asia or Africa. But since you're all still living on Native Land I'll just go ahead and assume you could care less also. But feel free to create an exhibit about it and try to guilt everyone else about your condescending hypocritical message. Art is not your personal protest center. Art is a creative imaginative process that brings an emotional response to those that witness it. It's not your political platform to ram down the publics throats about topics that everyone already knows about no less but simply don't care! Even Banksy paints his political messages! It's disgusting that this place is called an Art Gallery. There's no Art. Oh wait, a couple of finger paintings in the hallway. Slap a paintbrush on your turtle and let him go. Any questions about the K/W Hippie Woke Gallery?

Visited the Joyce Wieland exhibit, which was super interesting & included contemporary works by other artists who riff on Wieland's themes. Also took in two more exhibits, one of a Canadian woman of colour, involving multi-media presentations. The space is small and not too engaging, but the staff are friendly and the artwork is worth it. Parking across the street.

Sadly,, I have never been to this gallery until last week. What a lovely tranquil place. There was no cost to go in and leisurely browse. I went,in particular, to see the artwork of local students who had their talents featured over the past six weeks. My friend's daughter was one of those students.

A great experience every time. It is small, but free! The exhibits are well thought out and contemporary, the staff are friendly and full of information, and they offer tutorials and classes. An absolute gem of KW.

I recommend visiting KWAG, they regularly change their exhibitions, which are thoughtful and generally very well curated. My friend brought me to see the exhibition The Hedge Sitter, it was sublime- light, colour, sound! Animation video superimposed on peaked, "stained glass" windows. I highly recommend seeing it. There were two other exhibitions, elements of which I really liked too.

This local art gallery was so lovely to visit. Admission is free. With large scale exhibitions spanning a range of topics, excellent curation, and a variety of mediums - including aural and interactive art. Our favourite exhibition was about "The Hag" and was so stunningly beautiful my partner and I stayed in the exhibition room in awe for longer than we thought possible. They also have a small collection of art books for sale outside the exhibition hall.There is a paid parking lot and some free street parking up the road if you are willing to walk a bit longer.Currently undergoing renovations, the building is unable to offer washroom access temporarily.

Unfortunately when we arrived there were closed exhibits so it was not as fun as I'd hoped. I do love how big and open it is though. I will definitely be back when there is more to see.
