Formerly the Meaford Council Chambers and Town offices, the beautifully renovated galleries are an impressive landmark, featuring 16-foot ceilings and original, refinished hardwood floors.
There’s always something new to discover: fresh exhibitions arrive every two months, and new exhibits are installed roughly every sixty days. Visitors of all ages are welcome, and regular trips to the ever-changing Galleries are a great way to inspire young minds and introduce little ones to art of all kinds.
Free to explore during most business hours, the Galleries are also available to rent and occasionally close for private events.

MCAA – Meaford Creative Arts Association
September 1 to October 26
Opening Reception Sat. October 3 from 1-4pm.
In 2001, a recently arrived artist, the late Eldora Taylor, invited like-minded residents to join her to create art in Meaford. As an established artist, she realized that there was a need for an arts and crafts group in the town. So the ‘call to artists’ went out and immediately a group of enthusiastic painters, potters and fabric artists gathered. Thus, the Meaford Creative Arts Association (MCAA) took shape.
The MCAA came into being and has been a vibrant part of the town ever since. We are a non-profit organization.
MCAA is the resident art group at the Meaford Hall. Thanks to Eldora’s energy, encouragement and teaching skills, the group has prospered and grown over the years.
