The Grand Manan Art Gallery was established in 1993 under the umbrella of the Grand Manan Historical Society. The Locke family donated the land and the building which was renovated under the direction of architect John Large. The gallery was formally incorporated in 2010. We are a seasonal gallery that displays work by artists from Grand Manan Island, the Bay of Fundy region and from further away.
Our goal is to provide island residents and visitors with the opportunity to enjoy a diversity of quality exhibits by both established and emerging artists. Our exhibitions begin the first week in June and run until late September.

Island artists along with seasonal and visiting artists, came together to create a spectacular show of painting, photography, fibre arts, woodcarving and mixed-media pieces. Visitors to the Gallery described this popular exhibit as "the best Island Show ever."

Our Exhibition Committee welcomes submissions from artists. Proposals must include the title or theme of the show, an artist statement and biography, and samples of the work that the artist is proposing to exhibit (as JPEG or TIFF files). We will also need an indication of the space requirements for the proposed exhibit (see floor plan below).
We are a non-profit gallery, and we do not receive operational funding from any level of government. Consequently, we rely on our regular supporters to renew their membership annually, and we are always delighted to welcome new members. Our annual membership fee of $30 supports our commitment to artistic and educational programming, and assists with required capital improvements.
