For 46 years, the Lunenburg Art Gallery has given us an exciting parade of fine art by Lunenburg County artists and distinguished professionals from across Canada and the United States. For eight months of the year, March – October, the Gallery is open to residents and visitors, providing us all with quality exhibits and programs. The Gallery has established an admirable reputation as a focus of our cultural life. This is a remarkable achievement for a volunteer group in our Heritage Town of approximately 2800 people. The Lunenburg Art Gallery was founded in 1972 under the auspices of the Heritage Society. Lunenburg Art Gallery was established initially to provide a home and display area for a collection of paintings by the noted artist, Earl Bailly. It has evolved into an independent non-profit society with a current membership of 185.
