THE 54th ART BY THE RIVER EVENT RETURNS FOR 2021
Gibson Gallery’s main fundraiser event returns to Fort Malden NHSC this year
On August 28th and 29th 2021, the Gibson Gallery Board Members present the in-person event on the grounds of Fort Malden National Historic Site in Amherstburg, Ontario with safety measures in place and following public health guidelines.
Walk the shores of the Detroit River and enjoy artists and artisans from across Ontario.
Admission will be $5 and children under 12 free with adult admission. The event will be held at Fort Malden NHSC on Saturday and Sunday, August 28 and 29th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rain or shine. Service animals only please.
This year’s show will look a bit different to accommodate public health guidelines. This includes reduced capacity, one-way traffic flow of patrons to respect social distance. There will be no food concessions on-site, no live entertainment, or live artists workshops to keep our patrons and volunteers safe. Please visit their website for up-to-date information
regarding the event to accommodate changing government guidelines.
The 54th Annual Art by the River is the main fundraiser for the Gibson Gallery, which is run by a volunteer board of directors. The Gibson Gallery is the former Michigan Central Railway station that has been on Richmond Street since 1896 and houses an art gallery, artisan gift shop, a Michigan Central Caboose, and needlework and artists’ guilds.
This could be one of the only events going on in Ontario this summer, and the Gibson Gallery board members are excited to keep it safe and respectful. Please watch social media channels and the website www.gibsonartgallery.com for the most up-to-date information.
