For the art lover who strolls through galleries, seeks out murals, and isn’t afraid to get hands-on with a brush or pottery wheel.

Alton Mill Arts Centre

Just a few short minutes from the RBC Canadian Open, you’ll find the Alton Mill-a historic mill transformed into a hub of creativity. Wander the shops and art galleries, where you may find your next masterpiece for your home or unique local clothing. Outside the mill, take a look into the studio of Blacksmith Jason Duclos-creating tools, sculptures and jewelry. Next, enjoy a coffee while looking over the Mill Pond or waterfall to feel pure serenity. Back inside in the artist studios upstairs, classes and workshops are available. Sign up for pottery, painting or drawing to learn a new skill and unleash your creative side. 

Paul Morin Gallery 

Also located in Alton, take a visit to Paul Morin Gallery. Once known as Alton Town Hall, Paul purchased this historic stone and brick building and turned it into his creative space. Paul is a talented artist, musician, photographer and illustrator. His work showcases scenic landscapes, waterscapes and amazing culture. A visit to the gallery offers a unique glimpse into his artistic world and the beauty that inspires it.
