The Art Emporium Boathouse Gallery & Gift Boutique opened their doors in March but awaited the verge of Port Stanley’s busy season for their Official Gala Opening weekend. 

A particularly fine Port Stanley evening Friday (May 4) set the tone for the opening weekend, with artists and members of the public packing the Boathouse to help celebrate the town’s newest art display space.

The expansive, bright gallery is operated by a partnership of five local artists – Robin Baratta, Sandra England, Rose Klein, June-Anne Reid and Robert Reid. They have also attracted more than 30 member artists from the region, who join them in displaying a wide range of work in diverse styles and media.

The art is nicely spaced throughout the gallery with short bio’s hung nearby. The quality and diversity of work make this a Port spot which will attract tourists and locals alike to stop in and return often.

The gallery is located at 177 Main Street in Port Stanley. Check http://www.artemporium.ca/ or call 226-658-1888 for more information and hours.
