Formerly the Meaford Council Chambers and Town offices, the renovated galleries feature 16 ft. ceilings, original refinished hardwood floors, and new exhibitions every two months.
The Galleries are a free space you can explore during most business hours (Monday – Saturday, 10 – 4). This is where audiences spend time before entering the theatre and it is where our main bar is located.
New exhibits are installed about every sixty days. All ages welcome: regular visits to the ever-changing Galleries are a great way to introduce little ones to art of all kinds.
The Galleries are available to rent and occasionally close for private events.
Artists are welcome to apply to exhibit in our galleries in 2026.

IN THE GALLERIES:
“Our Communities, Our Stories”
Exhibit honours the 25th Anniversary of Amalgamation of the Municipality of Meaford
December 16 to January 25
The exhibit invites residents and visitors to explore the rich histories of the Town of Meaford, Township of St. Vincent, and Township of Sydenham, three communities that united in 2001 to form the present-day Municipality of Meaford. The exhibit will be in Meaford Hall before it travels throughout the municipality in 2026, participating in community events to honour the communities and educate on the rich history of the area dating back to 1820.
Developed by the Meaford Museum, the exhibit showcases:
• Historic photographs and artifacts
• Interpretive panels exploring the identity and stories of 30 hamlets and villages
• Archival materials reflecting Meaford’s evolution over time
Coming up next:
Frequency presented by local artist Jeremy Down
February 2 – March 3, 2026
Free Opening Reception Saturday, February 21, 12:30 – 3:30 PM
The exhibition ‘FREQUENCY’ showcases work inspired by the interaction of natural forces impacting our lives, emotions, moods and behavior.
Accessing nature is part of our local culture, the sense of energy and balance achieved from connecting to the river, the bay or the escarpment is part of what makes Meaford a great place to be.
