The Eden Mills Annual Arts Festival Weekend (formerly Art in Eden) was a wonderful event filling the village to its brim with Art enthusiasts.  We thank everyone who came out and  enjoyed the weekend with us and look forward to another great year for our Local Artists.  If  you missed it this year, be sure to join us next May.  For details see the Eden Mills Community Page.

A longstanding member of the Eden Mills community, photographer Peter Grimaldi has been a neighbourhood leader when it comes to the Arts and an ever popular photographer.  His unique eye is able to capture the beauty of tiny moments in everyday life. Things we may otherwise miss, Peter brings to the forefront in a provocative and enriching light. 

Recently Peter was announced as the winner of Wellington County Museums and Archives' Insights: Juried Exhibition  in the Photography division for Tats Girl.  We are pleased to have some of Peter's newest works now on sale at the Gallery.

If you are interested in Peter's work, and unable to visit during the regular hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday please contact the Gallery for a private viewing. 

We are very excited to announce, that In a Heartbeat now offers a Bridal Registry. 

Yes it will be difficult to choose from this fascinating collection of Canadian Artists but the choice will long out last the standard fare from most bridal registries.  In addition to our varied collection, personalized gifts such as commissions of the couple in charcoal, watercolor, clay sculpture, or body cast into mythical figures are available. 

Don't miss this opportunity, contact us for more information or for a private showing.

 As we tour the Ontario countryside, we will provide you with information about other exciting places and events that may be of interests to you.
