Located in Glenhyrst Gardens, a beautifully landscaped sixteen-acre park on the banks of the Grand River, the Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant offers exciting views both indoors and out. This picturesque property was bequeathed to the City of Brantford by Mr. Edmund Cockshutt in 1956. The Gallery displays contemporary art exhibitions year round: complimented by classes, exhibitions, garden and arboretum tours, workshops, lectures, special events, art rental and sales, a permanent collection of over 700 pieces of historical and contemporary works, an artist rental gallery, an outdoor sculpture garden and The Golden Teapot and Gift Shop which provides high tea sittings. Programming includes tours of exhibitions, workshops, outreach to schools, children and adult classes, a children’s summer art camp and artist lectures that accompany exhibitions and special events. Glenhyrst also operates an educational/studio facility year-round in the old Coach House and a rental gallery space for artists to hold their own exhibitions in the Gardener’s Cottage.
