Who is Matilda Swanson?

Our galleries are located in the gallery district of an emerging art mecca, a quaint little town called Clarksburg, coined ‘Artsburg’ and in Stratford, Ontario. 

We offer an eclectic selection of fantastic original artwork that vary from folk, whimsical, abstract to traditional.  
Representing over 45 artists; many local and others from all across Canada, we have hundreds of paintings on site on any given day.  Our goal is to have something for everyone.  A fun, colourful and casual atmosphere that will surely add a little spice to your day.       

Take artwork home on a trial basis before committing to purchasing.  We can deliver and assist you in the decision making process.  We provide art consultation and worldwide shipping.  It is a fun process, and if you can't make up your mind, we also offer an art rental program for homes, businesses, etc.  If you are looking to enhance and add life to your space, we've got you covered!
