    Creating Engagement with Art

    Established in 1970, Gibson Fine Art is a contemporary, and modern fine art gallery dedicated to providing a platform for emerging and well established artists who work in a range of media. Over 50% of our collection comes from regional artists here in Alberta - which in turn transcends energy and vitality right back into our local arts community. Inspired by a dedication to and a passion for art, the gallery consistently showcases a spectacular array of talented artists at public exhibitions and private events.

     

    We are a trusted resource for corporate and business clients, architects and interior designers. We provide art placement recommendations, order and supervise art commissions specifically created for unique locations and make all artwork arrangements including their shipping, delivery and installation.
