About the host:
Around since 1945 and incorporated in 1975, the Fort Malden Guild of Arts and Crafts was created "to encourage and foster cultural development in the fields of fine arts and applied arts" in our community. Originally meeting on the grounds of Fort Malden Historic Site, we moved over to the former railway station in 1969 and the Gibson Gallery was born.
