BRINGING ART TO LIFE IN HALIBURTON
Located in Haliburton's landmark rail station, we present contemporary Canadian art, craft and music by regional Artists.
POP UPS ON THE PATIO
Our Summer Pop Ups launched July 6 with special Guest Lisa M. Jones on the baby grand piano, Art Squared Haliburton County and The PrideMobile. Art Squared is a benefit sale of 12 x 12 paintings in support of Rails End Gallery and Arts Centre. Over the summer we will be holding pop-ups at selected locations and placing works in the Rails End ONLINE Shop.
You can get involved by volunteering, donating a painting or purchasing work(s).
(shown here detail: Maurice Snelgrove, CSPWC.OSA. "Rocky Harbour Poppies", 12"x12", watercolour on canvas)
Every Tuesday during the Incredible Haliburton County Farmers Market you will find us showing and making art and music outside the Gallery. And inside, the Gallery Shop is open for in person shopping and browsing ceramics, glass, weaving, jewelry and visual art.
READ profiles of Haliburton Art and Craft Artists on our BLOG page... The Festival may be cancelled, but you can find work by many of the Artists in the Gallery Shop this summer.

MAKING CONNECTIONS THROUGH ART
A sense of belonging brings purpose to our lives and is key to building vibrant communities. Rails End Gallery and Arts Centre is a registered charity that supports human connection and belonging through creative arts engagement and shared experience in public spaces.
Shown here is a textile work by Rails End Artist Member Sandra Clarke; fibre artist, maker and craftivist. Sandra devotes some of her Volunteer time to teach traditional craft and slow mending at Rails End in person and online. Watch for Sandra this summer at selected PoPUPs.
Donations in support of year round community programming may be made through Canada Helps.
