Reviews of Art Gallery of Burlington (Museum)

J. Langille

I always have an excellent time at the Art Gallery of Burlington. This visit was to see the biennial fibre arts show. We also explored this large building, finding the lovely conservatory filled with tropical plants and spending too much time in the enormous gift shop. The fibre arts show was truly inspiring! What a great venue to showcase local artists.

I love love this place.. my daughter has been going to summer camp since she was in kindergarten. The instructors are so nice and warm and the person that runs this program is super organized and very approachable. My daughter Loves arts and they do really unique things in the camps for the March break they made things with clay which were very unique. They encourage kids to use their own creativity and explore which is fabulous . The way the program is run is really good too they go to different studios during the day so you know your child will never get bored of doing one thing. Everything is run on time and I have never ever had an issue. I’m going to send my daughter here as long as I can and enrol her in some other art classes that they offer.. I also love all the people that work at the front and at the gift shop everybody is always smiling super friendly warm and extremely nice. I would give them a 10 out of 10 star if I could I highly recommend sending your kids here for summer camps winter camps and art classes.

Supposed to be open. Website says they are open. But they are not actually open. Just a piece of paper stuck to door that says they are closed. Hard to be generous with more than one star in this situation.

Very nice place to stop by around lakeshore watertrail, they have pretty good exhibition all the time, and a nice little gift shop on ground floor.

Attended a private business meeting here. Terrific venue! Easy parking, spacious room, great tech support with sound and power. Highly recommend this to any business type looking for presentation space.

Interesting place to visit. Great gallery collections and classes available in several fine arts and crafts. Staff is friendly, plenty of parking but get busy as this place is one lane away from waterfront.

Alexia Spanos

Painting class here was a creative and relaxing experience with laid back atmosphere. Beautiful gift shop. My only complaint would be parking wasn’t so good

Hamid Yazdani

Creative, innovative, pleasing to the eye

Liam Winegard

A lovely gallery, the AGB is well worth seeing! It seems to have a big impact on the community also, with many guilds of local artists meeting there, and selling their pieces at times. Wonderful ceramic pieces on display, and an indoor solarium with exotic plants are among the highlights!

Karen Zahoruk

Great gallery collections and classes available in several fine arts and crafts. Nice gift shop with art and Canadiana.:-)

I came to visit on an early Saturday afternoon and had the place practically to myself. It was very peaceful and relaxing to wander through the building viewing the various exhibits of artworks. They also have a small conservatory (where you can even purchase small plants!) which I was not anticipating whatsoever. I found I spent a good chunk of my visit amongst the flora. Definitely recommend if you need a small (not to mention free!) time filler and are in the area!

I am a member of a guild here. This is a great studio space for various arts: wood carving, sculpting, photography, weaving, painting, pottery, etc. The courses are generally very good. The studio spaces are great. I you aren't and artist you need to come her and he can become an artist.

Interesting local art.

(Translated) The Art Gallery of Burlington, established in 1978, is one of Canada's leading “Contemporary Canadian Ceramics” contemporary centers. It has a center of more than 40,000 square feet and houses more than 2,000 ceramic works of various sizes. Opposite the modern landmark building of Spencer's at the Water Front, it looks inconspicuous, but as soon as it enters the center, it admires the elegance and submergence of its submergence. The receptionist Jessica in front of the counter is kind to the residents of the town, and it is warm in the hazy weather; she takes us to "explore" one by one, ceramics, weaving, photography / darkroom, sculpture, wood carving ... The studios all have open spaces, and each turn of the corridor has an intrusive art display rack. When you are tired, you can bask in the atrium garden. In the winter, you can sit in the flower room, sip coffee, and smell the flowers and plants. And these "artistic visual feasts" are actually "free" and free of charge (we feel free to donate money between our feelings)! Compared with other large art centers, the tickets are more than ten dollars, some of which are the rustic simplicity of returning to the countryside, which makes people completely relaxed and free to carefully appreciate the various aesthetics brought by local artists using different art media. Currently holding the "All Guilds Show Member Finished Product Exhibition", there are various art societies and workshops attached to the art center, including parquet, knitting, blanket weaving, crocheting, painting, decoration, embroidery, beadwork, photography, wood carving, handicrafts The Kaleidscope of the Arts, the so-called Kaleidoscope, is showing the members' spirit of pursuing art and improving the quality of life. The town of Burlington is deeply artistic, and the city government also vigorously promotes artistic life. Retirees meet regularly. They learn skills and work as volunteers or lecturers in the chat room. On Sunday afternoon, they also provide a "family art workshop" for free. China Taoye Xinxin. (Original) 1978年成立的 Art Gallery of Burlington 是加拿大數一數二的「Contemporary Canadian Ceramics當代陶瓷藝品」中心，四萬多平方呎的中心，收藏了兩千多個大小不一的陶瓷作品。座落在Spencer's at the Water Front 現代化的地標建築物對面，它顯得毫不起眼，但一走進中心，即為它沈潛流洩而出的幽雅而讚嘆。櫃臺前的接待員Jessica 有著小鎮居民的親切，在陰霾的天氣益顯其溫煦；她帶著我們一間間地「探密」，陶瓷、編織、攝影/暗房、雕塑、木雕...每間工作室都有敞亮的空間，走廊每一迴旋都有崁入式的藝品展示架。走累了就在中庭花園曬曬太陽，冬天就到花房內小坐，細品咖啡，聞聞花草香味。而這些「藝術視覺饗宴」，居然是「免費」的，免購門票(感念間，我們心甘情願地捐了款)！相較其他大型藝術中心門票動輒十幾元加幣，這裡有的是鄉間回歸自然的質樸，讓人全然鬆弛、隨性自在地細品當地藝術家利用不同藝術媒介所帶來的各種各樣美感。 目前正舉辦「All Guilds Show 會員成品展」，依附在藝術中心內有各種藝術學會及工作坊，包括拼花、針織、毯織、鉤編、繪畫、裝飾、刺繡、珠飾、攝影、木雕、手工藝等，號稱「Kaleidscope of the Arts 藝術萬花筒」在在展現了會員們追求藝術、提升生活品質的精神。 Burlington 小鎮深具藝術氣息，市政府也大力推廣藝術生活，讓退休人士定期聚會，在談笑間切磋手藝並擔任義工或講員，週日下午還免費提供「家庭藝術工作坊」，在親子共創中陶冶心性。

Great location, we went for a celebration of life in the room at the front of the gallery. Didn't get a chance to explore the actual gallery, but will return on a weekend.

Small Art Gallery with nice garden centre. Collection is small and as I understand mostly represents local artists. During my visit paintings, ceramic art and some whimsical sculpture were on display. There is no entrance fees, Gallery relies on donations. The boutique is very nice, a lot of unique gifts can be found there. Overall, worth a visit.

Dave Lauretti

A nice pleasant art gallery, with plenty of interesting events and a great gift shop. Very courteous employees too!

Sean Hartley-Re/Max

Stopped in to see the artwork of a friend of ours. Denise McKay. Her journey through the past 30-40 years as an artist. Loved it. Also viewed work for black history month and visited the atrium. Nice to be reminded of spring during this "mud season". My wife (in the picture) is also an artist. Look her up on Facebook, Anna-Maria Hartley with Abstrakt Decor. Cheers.

Kristina Beeby-Curtis

Love the garden in the center. My family had a good time at their Canada day event.

Great way to spend a family afternoon! Lovely outdoor gardens and lots of interesting things to explore and see. Fantastic ceramic artworks, interesting art exhibits, lectures, friendly knowledgeable staff. End you tour in the fantastic Spencer's restaurant just across the street with an amazing lake view.

Awesome!

Let's salute Robert Steven for elevating the status, art, programs, accessibility, diversity, and special events at AGB. This place was singing under his leadership. His signature was on all the improvements and the staff were a great team under his leadership

I was working in one of the studios

Sharon Ceroni

Top notch art classes!! Took a week-long painting course last summer, and learned much more than I ever thought I would. Would definitely go back.

Mark Woodley

The Art Gallery of Burlington exhibits a comprehensive offering of ceramics, handwoven art, paintings and sculpture in a lakeside location near the downtown core of the city. A terrific permanent collection is always nice to see in the courtyards and corridors along with new exhibitions throughout the year. Our children have participated in several art camps offered at March Break and during the summer. They remember one camp where they created their own movies and thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially remember my parental pride when the camps displayed participant's artwork in the entranceway! A fine venue for meetings and community gatherings can be arranged too. Be sure to visit the Gift Boutique for some very special items.

Julia Wright

These people here are so kind and helpful

Harry Bradley

This is a lovely little gallery. It has the largest collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics in the world. Maybe not the biggest gallery but it's definitely worth a visit.

Jennifer Hager

On December 20th, 2020 my husband and I celebrated our wedding ceremony. Due to Covid-19 we struggled with many challenges and changes but the one thing that was consistent was the positive guidance of the management staff at the AGB. Angie, Gillian, Jessica and Jess did an exceptional job in coordinating our Christmas wedding theme. With every set back we faced with cancellations and restrictions, their positive input kept everything moving forward. Their attention to safety protocol made our guests feel comfortable attending our wedding during this difficult time. They went above and beyond right up to the day of the wedding to tend to our every detail. Our guests enjoyed the experience of witnessing our wedding at this amazing venue. Thanks again for making this day a memorable one. Barry and Lora
