Upcoming Events
Germinate – Art That Grows on You
Saturday and Sunday, March 21/22 & March 28/29
Germinate includes work that unfolds over time—work that lingers, settles, and deepens. Like a seed beneath the soil, some ideas do not reveal themselves at first glance. They take root quietly, expanding in meaning when given time and contemplation.
In a world shaped by short attention spans and constant distraction, this exhibition honors the artistic process—beginning with the seed of an idea that takes root, grows, and transforms into a visual language for all to see.
What ideas take root?
We’d love to welcome you to the Mill Pond Gallery, where you can enjoy and purchase original artwork created by talented local artists.
Home to the Richmond Hill Group of Artists, our gallery features exhibitions that change regularly, showcasing the creativity of individual artists and small groups. You’ll find a wonderful variety of styles, mediums, and themes — there’s always something new to discover!
Drop by often, meet our artists, and be inspired by the art and community that make the Mill Pond Gallery such a special place.
Free parking and no admission fee
All are welcome!

ARTIST STATEMENT
THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR TO BE
At first glance my paintings may make you smile but the true meaning lies just beneath. Through the juxtaposition of old master’s style and present-day life, my work is a visual commentary on world circumstances. With a little humour and a gentle nudge, the message is delivered – Judy S
