A bit of history.........
The Doug Forsythe Gallery boasts a rich history of creativity and transformation. Founded in 1970 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, the gallery initially operated from a converted apple storage barn in Greenwich, which served as a studio, gallery, and living quarters. This innovative purpose-built space underscored a commitment to both art and a harmonious living-work environment.
In 1979, the gallery moved to the picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in southern Ontario. Over 38 years, it became a vibrant cultural hub, gaining global recognition for its artistic contributions.
The gallery’s journey came full circle in 2017 when the founders returned to Nova Scotia, settling in Chester. This relocation fulfilled a long-held aspiration to create an architecturally designed space that perfectly integrated living and creative pursuits, emphasizing their dedication to both their craft and a meaningful lifestyle.
