Hours of Operation:
The gallery is a seasonal destination, open from April through December. Regular operating hours are 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Wednesday through Monday (closed Tuesdays).
Admission:
General admission is free — the gallery is a public space for viewing work by Nova Scotia artists, and no advance booking is required; the gallery operates on a walk-in basis during its published hours.
Accessibility: The gallery has not published accessibility details — there is no mention of wheelchair access, ramps, or elevators. Call the gallery before your visit with any mobility questions. For current policies, check the gallery's Facebook and Instagram pages.
Because the gallery is a co-operative, the people hanging the work are often the artists themselves, which makes it a good place to ask questions about technique and process. It sits on the block of Lincoln Street that Lunenburg visitors know as Gallery Row, alongside several other independents, so it is an easy addition to a walking tour of the Old Town.
