Art Windsor-Essex, Art museum in Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Art Windsor-Essex is an art gallery and museum in Ontario, Canada, displaying works by emerging and established artists with exhibitions running for several months. The building contains interior galleries for rotating shows and features an outdoor area called Art Alley where public installations and large-scale artworks are on display.
The institution was established to support and promote the local art scene in the Windsor-Essex region. Over time it has grown into a cultural hub that connects artists with the community and fosters creative expression across different mediums.
The name reflects the Windsor-Essex region and its active local art community. The space functions as a gathering place where residents encounter contemporary works and discover how artists draw inspiration from everyday surroundings and objects.
On weekdays advance booking for tours is required, but on weekends visitors can walk in freely to explore the galleries. The venue offers studio spaces where hands-on workshops are held in pottery, craft work, and various art techniques.
An outdoor installation titled Kaakaapushak or Butterflies by artist Vanessa Dion Fletcher sits in the designated Art Alley space outside the main building. The museum also collaborates with artists who repurpose everyday materials like pool noodles to create large-scale beadwork pieces.
