A true gem in Algonquin Park. The Algonquin Art Centre is a world class small gallery of some of Canada's finest wildlife and landscape painting, sculpture and other forms of art. The art on display is lovingly curated and their small gift shop has great arts and local crafts that support the gallery's focus on the outdoors. Tom Thomson painted many of his most iconic works here the park and the art centre activly honours his work and that of the Group of Seven by displaying today's best Canadian landscape and wildlife art. It's only open during the spring, summer, and fall. In the summer months they offer art classes and opportunities to create your own small paintings and sketches. It's worth the drive from Ottawa or Toronto. View the gallery, the Algonquin Park visitor centre, and stay in a lodge in the park for a uniquely Canadian weekend or overnight. The nearby Portage Store and also Killarney Lodge offer great meals.
