Run by dedicated volunteers, the Art Gallery of Bancroft manages to show 12 new exhibits every year. Local artists are always featured, and their work may be available in the gift shop for purchase.

The gallery occasionally shows works from outside the community, providing a way for locals to keep up with the happenings of the art world in Ontario.

In 2004, Bancroft won TVOntario’s “Most Talented Town in Ontario” contest. A large number of artists and artisans live in the surrounding area.
