Our Mission Statement

We strive to provide a welcoming and supportive environment where artists of all skill levels can learn, create, share ideas and inspire one another while enriching the cultural life of our community. For over 50 years, the Gimli Art Club has been a place where artists come together to create, learn, and share their passion for the visual arts. As a teaching and mentoring club, we encourage members to explore both traditional and contemporary art forms while developing their artistic skills in a friendly, supportive environment. Our members work in a wide variety of media, including painting, pottery, sculpture, stained and fused glass, jewellery, photography, batik, mixed media, and more. Weekly drop-in sessions, workshops, and demonstrations provide opportunities to learn new techniques, refine existing skills, and connect with fellow artists. During the summer season, the club operates two public galleries featuring original artwork created by our members. In the winter, one gallery is transformed into a shared studio space where members gather to work on their art. The club also maintains a fully equipped pottery studio with pottery wheels, a kiln, and dedicated workspace for ceramic artists. The Gimli Art Club is proud to be an active part of the community. Throughout the year, members participate in local events, present demonstrations, support community initiatives, and encourage creativity for people of all ages. We are also committed to supporting emerging artists by presenting an annual art award to a graduating student from Gimli High School. Whether you're a local resident, visiting Gimli from elsewhere in Canada, or travelling from around the world, we invite you to stop by, experience our galleries, meet our artists, and discover the creativity and welcoming spirit of the Gimli Art Club
