Our Vision for the Future

As the MVS Gallery begins a new chapter, we recognize that its future depends on the community it serves. We are committed to becoming a true reflection of the region—showcasing the creativity, voices, and stories that make it unique.

 

To do this, we need you. Your feedback, ideas, and support will help shape a gallery that not only exhibits exceptional art but also responds to the needs, interests, and aspirations of the people who call this region home.

​

Together, we will build a gallery that celebrates and elevates the arts, driven by the community it belongs to.

Explore.

The MVS Gallery will be a destination for both locals and visitors, offering a vibrant showcase of creativity that reflects and elevates the region’s artistic spirit. We will celebrate local and regional talent while enhancing the cultural landscape by introducing national and internationally recognized artists through special exhibitions.

 

By becoming a cornerstone attraction for the region, the Gallery will foster a deeper appreciation for the arts and draw new audiences to experience its inspiring programming.

Discover.

Beyond exhibitions, the MVS Gallery will be a hub for creative exploration and learning. Through classes, workshops, artist talks, and community events, we will spark creative expression in all its forms—welcoming seasoned artists and first-time creators alike.

 

As we grow, the Gallery will evolve into an incubator of ideas, fostering collaboration, dialogue, and experimentation that enriches the entire community.

Inspire.

Art has the power to challenge, uplift, and transform.

 

The MVS Gallery will ignite curiosity by presenting new ideas, bold perspectives, and innovative forms of expression. Whether through thought-provoking exhibitions or unexpected creative experiences, we will inspire visitors to see the world—and themselves—in new ways, ensuring the Gallery remains a dynamic force for cultural growth and imagination.

The Marianne van Silfhout Gallery acknowledges that the land on which we create, share, and celebrate art is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat Peoples.

​

Although the Gallery does note presently occupy a physical space, we recognize that the art we present and the stories we share exist on the lands and waterways that have long been cared for by Indigenous Peoples. We honour their enduring connection to the land and commit to fostering respect, learning, and reconciliation through the arts.
