Reviews of Art Gallery of Windsor (Painter)

Patrick Szendro

Really interesting art exposition. Upper floor is probably the one with best paints

Gino Cavicchioli

I've enjoyed very much last year the "Supermen" cartoon exhibition, but also the paintings. Friendly staff. There is a motto I recall: "Art in the eyes of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art is a masculine prerogative". The view of the river from their balcony is great.

Artsy

Alexander Canaran

Great art ! Love the view of the water, recently added a gift shop. So cute!

j middleton

Very nice modern museum with fantastic views. Also a really nice event space.

Dan Lebedyk

It's more than an art gallery, there more going on apparently? The exhibit we saw was quite good. The parking lot must have been designed by artists. Great location.

Shannon Porcellini

The Chimczuk Museum was the best part especially with kids. Lots of hands on activities and a scavenger hunt even grownups can enjoy. As for the Art Gallery I didn’t find it worth the extra money

Michelle Mollicone

Sucked...if it was free it would be disappointing

chris johnson

Windsor and Canadian culture in a nutshell

Chef Alex Ethier

Museums was AWESOME.....Gallery was disappointing

Brian Bartlett

Extremely interesting place to visit and learn about Detroit/Windsor

Chris Barks

A bit small, limited art from niche artists. Very Windsor oriented.

SwAg

Visited couple of years ago. Very nice place. Heard they moved central library to this building.

C Sanyk

A special place of visit and shopping during our Anniversary time

EthanF 23

Very interactive

Val

I had my wedding here. It was a beautiful location to take pictures after the ceremony.

Bonnie Firth

Beautiful place and well organised

Amanda Forest

Beautiful gallery. Especially their new exhibit on Inuit art!

Sherry Ridley

Small but worth checking once at least.

Jim Mitchell

Go there if you are really into Art and history

Gábor Erik

A beautiful collection of artwork. The staff is always extremely friendly, helpful and encouraging when asked questions. Great place, always worth making a trip.

Samantha

You need to go there with the right expectations. It’s very small and you won’t find any masterpieces there but for art lovers it’s worth a visit if you are in the area. At first I didn’t like that all paintings in one room are hung frame to frame instead of separately but then I reached the information plaque which explains the reason for that. Immidiately I felt different about the paintings I was looking at. That was interesting.

Tarang Chikhalia

Wonderful view.

George Corkum

Great Windsor information

Evan Piatkowski

Little but entertaining.

yvonne crosby

The main floor with the permanent exhibits is pretty cool. They go from ancient all the way to modern history. Definitely worth going just for that. The upper floors art gallery is nice, but you'd need to be a fan of modern art to appreciate it. It might be different when you go, but when I went it was mostly full of clever photographs and art class type stuff. They have a student discount on admission though, so that was nice.

Rinu Terry

Small. But have good staff

Andrew Jamieson

Nice place to visit for about 3 hours. The museum is well put together with interesting Windsor facts. The Art Gallery is a nice and small peaceful space. I do prefer the 'old' stuff on the gallery wall, though sometimes the new stuff surprises me into liking it.

Deborah Peterson

This was a severely underwhelming experience relative to any art gallery I've ever visited, or any one ever. Second floor was inaccessible due to upgrades and third floor was a grand letdown. Do remember to step into this hallway where you can have a nice view of Detroit and the waterfront.

Britney

This was an incredibly disappointing visit. I've never seen such a poorly curated collection. As well, it appears as though the staff, and the curator, have little to no experience in actual exhibition of work. The little work present is exhibited in dark rooms with any information on a specific piece being nothing short of a challenge to find. This was the most disappointing aspect of my visit to Windsor. 10/10 WOULD AVOID.

Owais Mangal

Really good collection and exhibits at this gallery. Absolutely worth a visit if in Windsor. Also take a stroll on the waterfront to see the sculpture Park.

Philomena Meffe

Be sure to check out the Sandwich Project! Open through October 1st.

TJ Coates

I liked the exposition, but I found the museum a little small. The view is nice from the building.

Alyssa Leonard

So proud of it! A blessing in our city, thank you!

Justin Cipparrone

The Art Gallery of Windsor is an amazing resource for anyone interested in learning about the cities past as throughout the year they have different exhibitions that are often based on the local area. The building is beautiful and offers an amazing view of the Detroit skyline.

Dimitria Papadatos

I know art is subjective, but these exhibits are just ridiculous sometimes. Seemed like a definite waste of my money and time.

Tammy McGinnis

Wonderful place to visit any day of the week.

TRTHUNTER (TH)

Great history exhibit on at the moment a great experience

Gordon Lin

Great place!

Jennifer Gryn

Amazing exhibits, I loved looking at the art, and the history museum! I didn't really quite agree with the price for it, but I still had a good time.

Maxine Green

Beautiful location and facilities

Travis Johnson (thefoodjunky)

Loved the locked exibit

David Huynh

The art gallery and museum are an affordable price. Lots of great content

Aaron Romain

The museum part of the building is really intriguing and educational speaking as a historian and the third floor of the art gallery had some absolutely beautiful paintings. Didn't like some of the photography on the second floor but still really enjoyed it. The price of admission is also worth the experience.

jeff hillier

The best place ever

Parita Patel

Great Black History Museum. Impressive art collection.

Tomas Buchan

Some times artworks are so powerful, they makes me sweat. Other times I weep with joy, ecstasy or sorrow. Like I know God and have conversed with him. Art so powerful that will accompany me to my grave. These where not that kinds of works. I was not moved, touched or inspired by the present exhibitions. I walked out feeling empty and meaningless.

Alexandre Rousselet

Great art, beautiful views of the river, friendly staff, and absolutely free.

Michael Binder

I lived it. Recommend the place.

Charlotte Turnbull

A quiet place, went during the march break..good place for kids

Faiz Ahmed

Silly me. I thought it would be a nice visit to take in the art gallery during March Break only to find out that you actually can't view the ART in the ART GALLERY on Tuesday because even though the building is open, the ART is closed. Seriously?!? During March Break? Really sad. Some art gallery.

Nadia Oro

Nice to see talent on a canvas

caroline stojanovski

Nice gallery. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a nice hands-on room for children.

Gabriel Watson

Love exhibits they have there

Reza Rad

Nice small collection of artwork. Takes a couple hours if you take your time. If you are downtown and looking for something to do its a good place to go. There is also a museum attached that would occupy more time but you will have to pay extra for that.

Christie Harris

I recently attended AGW for the first time, and was surprised by the exhibits inside. I always pictured it only be a display of modern art!

Robert Whent

Free admission today.

Jake Chan

Very informative for all age groups.Specially for kids.

Lu

The AGW is a must see for anyone who has an appreciation for the creative. ...and I will be definately be returning as I'm now a member. This is just a sample of what you will see and there is so much more. Life is awesome!!! ..and yes, I got permission before taking any photos ????

David Chilcott

Awesome tourist attraction! Love visiting it for all their interesting exhibitions.

Asad “Arcane”

I stopped going since they charge $10 a person now. The University of Michigan has a far better exhibit and is free, would recommend going there.

Cedrick Ball

This is a gem of a gallery. I attended the Warhol exhibit and was blown away. The docents and staff are knowledgeable and professional. I love bringing my kids here, the programming is the best - they really make the kids think and expand their creative boundaries. The AGW is a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours.

Kirk Buhne

Went there on a grade 1 field trip, so we didn't see everything on display, but the volunteers were nice and the layout was well thought out.

Nathan Dahms

The museum part of the building is really intriguing and educational speaking as a historian and the third floor of the art gallery had some absolutely beautiful paintings. Didn't like some of the photography on the second floor but still really enjoyed it. The price of admission is also worth the experience.

Jack Sprat

Decent gallery but I'm a little disappointed that the gallery now charges admission for what is considered a publicly funded collection.

Angelica Flores González

I loved the first floor history of the area exhibit. It was well done.

Madeleine St. Louis

Less then $10 to kill two hours of your day if you’re a student

Robert Cameron

Went with my daughter's grade 2 field trip. It's a nice place but only so much interesting things for kids to look at. Many of the kids were pretty bored after an hour or so. Good for more mature cried who are into this sorry of thing.

Andrew Rocky

Love the variety of art and historical pieces they have.

Courtney Gifford

I went here in a school field trip and loved it. There was this amazing view. I'm not sure if the school or the museum organized this, but we had to pick a piece of art and do a presentation on it. I did not very like that part. The art pieces and the way everything was placed made me feel welcome. I would definitely go back if I ever got the chance. If you are a fan or art go to this museum.

신은숙

Nice place

Eleanor Dean

Very good everyone very professional

logan M

Didn't like my Starbucks but cool with radio

Calandra Williams

good cool poop

Yvonne Diemer

Needs more art

Heidi R

What a beautiful gallery. I went to an opening night and they were so organized in letting everyone in. I get the impression that opening nights are usually well attended. The work exhibited in all the floors was interested. I say, go and visit. Besides, it is proven that your blood pressure lowers when you visit an art gallery. There is an elevator -in case you are wondering. It has (three or four?) floors with ample room to move around.

Adelina Trottier

Fun to see and check out their gallery!

Miriam O'Herlihy

My son happens to teach art to children at this location and loves it.

Kate Walen

Peaceful and quiet

RAOUL BECHARD

Nice to see all the history about Windsor

Karen Williams

This was our first time attending, and we were thoroughly impressed.

Julia Berest

Lots of art and displays to check out. Depending on the exhibit they have it can be great or sub par. The empty rooms can be used for weddings and engagements and they have a beautiful garden on the top of the gallery you can check out when it's open. Top floor has old art works with gorgeous gilded frames which you need binoculars to truly appreciate, second floor is composed of new art works, often indigenous displays and Canadian artists are featured.

William Wakeling

Christmas bar was awesome

ali behboudi

Fantastic educational program available. Staff go above and beyond in all aspects of your visit.

Selwan Nissan

awesome gallery, very lovely staff. I've been a few times and every time it's worth it.
