Great facility full of talented people and beautiful art work. Great place to visit. Never over crowded.

This was supposed to be a two hour play for children according to the web site. It turned out to be a three hour ordeal - from 7 pm to 10 pm. And many of the supposed jokes were geared to adults. Stuff about has been and never were politicians, D list entertainers, etc. No way a 7 year old would get them and they were yawners for a lot of adults. Would love to get the three hours of my life back, not to mention the $125 for the tickets for 2 adults and 2 children.

Visited with two of our grand children and found the displays interesting and thought provoking.Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Kids loved the greenhouse.

I love the artwork. It is wonderful to see the beautiful and creative works. I was at the Art Gallery several times in June. Art Etc is the best place to buy a special gift. I bought a present for a retiree and went to a reception for another retiree.

We head to the gift shop every time we are in Burlington. The fine crafts are of high quality, and the volunteers staffing the store are lovely. We have also enjoyed the exhibits.

Beautiful exhibit of hooked rugs. Also a 25th anniversary event of Japanese cultural. An interesting sculpture exhibit in the garden. A well appointed gift shop and plenty of comfortable seating area for resting between exhibits.

I recently visited the show "Hot Mud", a national survey of contemporary Canadian emerging ceramicists. It was provocative and an excellent opportunity to see young talent.; a small catalogue is available.The BAC has an outstanding collection of Canadian ceramics and it is always a treat to see who is showing in any of the hallway exhibits or in the excellent shop. The shop also has a great selection of original glass, wood craft and jewellery. As it is a local art centre there are also exhibits of non-professional artists, which can be charming(or not very interesting). I tend to visit 2-3 times per year.

A fabulous place to visit to shop for Canadian art and crafts. I always find a great gift to take to friends when travelling out of Canada. The gallery at the back of the centre, near the large parking lot, as well as the many showcases along the halls and in the inside courtyard, always have items of unusual interest. Plan to visit the small tropical garden and the small restaurant for casual fare. Make it a short stop or an extended visit! There are also art courses available.I've also been to receptions, meetings, lectures and courses at the Art Centre and have been a speaker several times at private events. This is a true treasure in Burlington!

The summer camps here are amazing. If your child has any interest in art this is a must. On my tour here I found it interesting and enjoyable. It is not huge but if your in the area i would go and see it.

This is a beautiful building with a nice garden and ever changing displays of local art. It is located near the waterfront and is free and open to the public. It is not large but is a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two.

I went to the Burlington art centre with my boyfriend on Valentine's weekend to continue a day long date. I loved that it was free and wanted to support the local art, but I was disappointed. The venue was small and didn't have much interesting art. I support that they showcase local talent but they should do a better job at selecting pieces. It's nice that they have an event venue but it was dated, had low ceilings in some areas and was uninspiring. The room I liked the most was the actual gallery show room, and although the photos were terrible the space was modern and a could be a great event space. Go to this place only if you are in the area and need to kill an hour.

The Burlington Art Centre deserves to be seen. While there, you can view local artists at work. Then, you can go into the gift shop and buy beautiful Canadian handmade gifts. If you're hungry, you can visit the snack shop and enjoy the view of the waterfront in Burlington while nibbling on snacks and desserts. In the wintertime, I like to go into the tropical garden and enjoy looking at all the plants which are named for origin and place. Parking is at the side of the building.I wish they didn't charge for parking, as this is an art gallery for locals to enjoy.
