about SG

We're a public art gallery and a registered charity.
We show art exhibitions of emerging, mid-career and established artists.
We bring art and culture to kids, youth, adults and families of all ages and abilities through programs, classes and workshops, performances and special events.
We are a resource to artists and champion of all things empowering and creative.

A public art gallery mounts exhibitions by artists (who receive payment for showcasing their work) and actively acquires art works for their Permanent Collections.  No direct commercial sales activity takes place in public galleries (though many have gift shops and art rental/sales facilities as part of separate fundraising activities).

The primary focus for Public art galleries is to make art available to be seen (sometimes touched, heard, and even occasionally smelled) by the general public and to provide arts education.

Visits to Station Gallery are free thanks to donations from government, businesses and individuals and a whole bunch of volunteers.

We depend on annual memberships to help keep us afloat and raise funds through community events and  the fees we earn on our programs and classes.

Let’s make sure money doesn’t stand in the way of creativity! Each season we set aside a few subsidized spots in our programs and camp.

Station Gallery is unleashing the power of arts and culture to inspire and connect our community– thanks to our generous donors like Town of Whitby, Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Rotary Club of Whitby, and the Cameron Sharrock Memorial Fund.

In most cases exhibitions rotate on a six-week basis. We have four main gallery spaces. 'Your Space' is reserved for community exhibitions. The other three may feature a single artist or group collection. Exhibition openings are often on the first Saturday of a new exhibition.

The curator gives a guided tour and interpretation of each exhibition on the 3rd Thursday of every month. 

No. We don't sell the works within the exhibitions though we're always happy to pass inquires along to the artist.

Sorry, at this time the gallery is not available for public rental.

You can submit a proposal to the Curator at any time. It should include:
A cover letter; a specific written proposal for an exhibition; slides or disk of electronic images (about 15 images) a CV or resume detailing artistic accomplishments (exhibitions, grants, reviews, etc.) and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for materials to be returned.

Please note a response to your proposal  will take between 4 and 6 months. Exhibitions are planned 1 - 2 years in advance. 

We're always looking for innovative and engaging professional artist instructors. Contact our Education Manager to start the conversation.

Sure. Photography for personal and non-commercial use is permitted throughout the exhibition spaces and exterior unless otherwise stated. Some works are under copyright, so on occasion we may post a sign asking for your cooperation.
We didn’t set the copyright rules but we certainly respect them.

Shoot away on the exterior including the boxcar and historical rail station.
