- LarryTheRadioGuyEdmonton, Canada694 contributionsWe were the only ones in the gallery, coming about an hour before closing. Enjoyed the main display that featured one artist, but found the other display of works by local highschool students even more interesting. Staff very friendly and approachable. I also want to give a pitch for their "First Friday" event which takes place the first Friday evening of each month, where local performers get to participate in an open mic to a receptive audience. Next one will be in September.Written June 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Yvonne BPenticton, Canada372 contributionsMy sister and I visited Leir House not only to tour it but also to attend the Penticton Arts Council Christmas Craft Show. After seeing the various items for sale, we took a self-tour inside the two-story house. We admired the decor including the hard wood floors and staircase up to the second floor. We learned that minimal changes have been made to the house since owned by Hugh Charles Leir and his family of eleven (11) children. The dumb waiter was removed when the kitchen was modernized. Posted information told us the history of Leir House that was built in 1927. In 1951, it was a nurses residence before becoming a Cultural Arts Centre in 1980. Rooms are available for rent and used for music and dramatic arts lessons as well as meetings, workshops and other special occasions. Leir House is the only stone-faced building in Penticton. We exited the house and walked the grounds, visiting the Gazebo that has grape vines for a roof. There is a small, stone building on the property that mimics the architecture of the bigger Leir House. The gardens are lovely with several older trees growing around the house. The lawns are meticulously groomed.Written December 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Missy KLangley, Canada25 contributionsI was the first person to walk in the door that morning and the owner greeted me with enthusiasm and love of the artwork on display. Explained about her unique driftwood chair that sits outside the gallery and decor.

They have an extensive collection of art and collectibles that wouldn't be out of place in Vancouver. The place is a bit misleading because it looks like 2 small rooms from the front door but opens into a large back space and even an outside space as well. The ladies there seem quite knowledgable and will let you poke around the back if you ask.
There is also a huge fluffy silver cat you need to see to believe.Written April 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The meticulously curated photographs and the wonderful soothing space makes it a wonderful stop on your gallery tour or when you are visiting downtown. Steve Hancock, the owner is himself, a highly credentialed professional photographer specializing in nature shots and he has chosen a stable of very accomplished photographers to represent, making for an eclectic and highly interesting ever-changing exhibit.Written November 24, 2012This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dianne CPenticton, Canada19 contributionsI thoroughly enjoyed fine Friday evening lecture on the theatrical nature of Italian architecture, and specifically the piazza at the Matheson and Grove Gallery. Entertainment, enlightenment and lively creative ideas with Antonella DeMichelis, renowned Art Historian. Highly recommend this Made in Italy lecture series. Next lecture January 10 and monthly through May. Gallery itself is a fascinating cornucopia of art and sculpture in a myriad of styles and themes. Founding artists Renee Matheson and Kindrie Grove as well as a number of artists have studios on site and welcome visitors.Written December 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
