The Gallery's collection contains 3200 works of art including paintings, photographs, prints, sculpture and multi-media work by established Canadian and International Artists.
The collection began with an initial group of approximately 300 predominantly European paintings, prints and drawings acquired in 1885 as a teaching collection for art students to study and copy.
A few significant gifts were made to the Owens' collection in the 1940s but it wasn’t until the late 1960s when art classes were moved from the Gallery to an adjacent building that the focus shifted towards actively developing the Gallery’s collection.
