Main Galleries
The Thunder Bay Art Society Presents: The Heritage Art Project
28 July 2026 – March 2027
In their first official group exhibition, seventeen members of the Thunder Bay Art Society spotlight heritage buildings across the city, showcasing our shared place through art and history. Alongside each painting is an accompanying archival image, history, and notable architectural features of each building. We invite you to take a look for yourself. Which buildings do you recognize, and which ones are new to you?

Anishnaabe Zhiimaagnishii Inaadiziwin / Life of Indigenous Soldiers / Vie des Soldats Autochtones
10 November 2026 – 31 January 2027
The stories of Indigenous Veterans across Turtle Island are often not fully acknowledged and many have gone untold for decades. This project seeks to change that by facilitating the creation of an ever evolving and growing travelling exhibit that celebrates the stories and lives of Indigenous Veterans in Northwestern Ontario. This Project will allow for these important stories and lived experiences to be documented and shared in the spirit of openness, reconciliation, and education.
