The gallery specializes in Canadian art, exhibiting a wide range of works from estate collections: Canadiana to contemporary, with a few American and British vintage and historical works in the mix. We also draw on our lengthy experience showing Inuit art, augmenting the display of sculpture from current working artists with museum quality sculpture from estates.
Arctic Experience Gallery was founded by Marvin and Lorraine Cohen in 1983, and 10 years later, they joined forces with Janet McNaught to form the new Arctic Experience McNaught Gallery. They have been working together for almost 25 years in the historic James Street South neighbourhood of Hamilton, Ontario.
