Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery

Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery A long-standing destination for contemporary art for international tourists and regional citizens.

The Clay & Glass is a long-standing site of excellence and a destination for contemporary art for international tourists and regional citizens. We host critically-acclaimed exhibitions that challenge ideas and perceptions of the definitions of art, craft and design today. With an emphasis on Canadian artists, our exhibitions also support international and regional artists. Our Gallery Shop is reco

gnized on its own merits as a fine craft gallery, showing the best of Canadian ceramic and glass work. A relevant and dynamic cultural organization, the Gallery provides supportive education programs to people from across the Region. Using exhibitions as a starting point, individuals develop arts vocabulary, arts appreciation and cultivate confidence in their interpretation of contemporary artworks. People who return to The Clay & Glass many times come to understand that the Gallery is a space with dynamic exhibitions, ever-changing hands-on programs and multiple opportunities for learning.

Fabled Clay is coming to an end and this is your last chance to see it! Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. In this exhibition, artists use ceramics to share their own stories, whether personal narratives or inventive twists on myths, to engage us in explorations of experience and identity.
