About

Unique original art, painted by French Canadian Artists. The collection has over 498 artworks to enjoy.

It is a diverse showing.. everything from crooked villages by Pierre Bédard to saucy portraits, woman with luscious lips and glint of humour by Kelly Paterson to realistic figurative depictions of 19th Century rural life, the "Voyageurs" and indigenous peoples. They are oil paintings impeccably rendered. Juan Cristobal is a huge draw with pink, violet landscapes glowing with light sparkling reflection, warm snow scenes and cool summer days.

Mission Statement:

Galerie Q aims to promote and preserve arts and culture through education and community building initiatives.

Organizational Overview:

Galerie Q is a contemporary art gallery located in Cavan, Ontario, just a short drive from Toronto. With a focus on Quebec-based artists and art masters, Galerie Q presents high-quality exhibitions that explore contemporary and historical Canadian visual arts. The extensive “Q Collection” contains over 500 art treasures by Quebec and other Canadian masters, many of whom have achieved membership into the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts. The gallery is also committed to collecting the work of talented emerging, mid-career, and senior artists who have shown mastery in the use of paint, canvas, and brush.

A registered non-profit organization, Galerie Q fosters a partnership between Canadian artists and the public. In addition to providing an opportunity for artists to experience responses to their work, Galerie Q aims to increase public knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts. Through the display and interpretation of artwork that reflects the diversity of Canadian culture, we hope to generate curiosity, illuminate history, and spark open dialogue surrounding present-day social and cultural issues.

At Galerie Q, we believe arts and culture have the power to change and influence lives and communities in a positive way. Our wide-ranging projects and educational programs create opportunities in our community, whereby providing support to local initiatives and non-profit groups whose mission reflects the objectives of Galerie Q.
