The Homer Watson House and Gallery is a not-for-profit gallery located in Kitchener with the mission to celebrate the legacy of Homer Watson, the first notable Canadian landscape painter, through the appreciation, enjoyment, and practice of the arts. We do this by offering public art programs for children, youth, adults, and seniors both in our gallery and around the community. The vision of Homer Watson House & Gallery is to preserve and celebrate the legacy of Homer Watson’s creative spirit by stimulating the appreciation, enjoyment and practice of the visual arts. Homer Watson House & Gallery will fulfill its mission by engaging in a three-part program of: preservation and collection of Homer Watson’s art, his home studio and gallery and the heritage of his life, his times and that of Phoebe Watson and the Doon School of Fine Arts; exhibition of Homer Watson’s body of work and regular shows of contemporary local and regional artists; education and enrichment through events and instructional programs in the visual arts.
