Thunder Bay Art Gallery

The Thunder Bay Art Gallery is an art museum located on the Confederation College campus that presents a broad range of artistic works across multiple exhibition spaces. It displays contemporary and classical pieces alongside rotating shows throughout the year.

The museum was founded in 1976 as part of a national initiative to establish cultural institutions across Canadian communities. It has evolved into an established gallery that shaped the region's art scene over decades.

The collection centers on works by Indigenous artists from the region, whose creations hold an important place in local artistic life. This focus reflects the significant presence and creative legacy of First Nations communities in the city.

The gallery welcomes visitors during its regular hours and offers guided school tours alongside artistic events throughout the year. An attached shop sells locally made artworks and handcrafted items for those interested in taking something home.

The museum is relocating to a new and larger building on the Thunder Bay waterfront that has been custom designed for its collections. This upcoming move will bring an expanded experience for art lovers in the community.
