Mandate of the Gallery

Established in 1963, the Stewart Hall Art Gallery is a municipal art gallery located in the Cultural Centre of the city of Pointe-Claire. The mandate of the Gallery is to present high quality exhibitions of historical and contemporary art that reflect the diverse nature of the West Island and Montreal communities.

The Gallery features travelling exhibitions of collections from museums across Canada, the United States, and around the world, as well as works by both emerging and established Quebec and Canadian artists. The exhibitions are held on a six week rotating schedule throughout the year, and offer an exploration into a wide variety of themes and media, including painting, prints, photography and sculpture.

As part of the Cultural Centre, the Gallery has the opportunity to reach a diverse public audience. Events such as La journée de la culture, Cultural Rendez-vous and Montreal Museums Day help people of all ages focus on art and cultural activities.

The gallery is staffed by art professionals who are responsible for the selection and presentation of each exhibit. There is an ongoing educational program with local schools and community groups that include gallery visits and activities designed for children of all ages. Lectures and artists' talks are a regular feature at the gallery.

The Gallery purchases and maintains a permanent collection of contemporary Canadian art for the city of Pointe-Claire that is on display in municipal buildings and offices. The Gallery also operates an Art Rental and Sales Service, and a small Boutique that offers a selection of decorative crafts and objects d'art.

The Gallery is open seven days a week from 1 pm to 5 pm and Wednesday 1 pm to 9 pm. (closed Saturdays in June, July and August)

Admission is free, and the Gallery is accessible by elevator.
