ARTS | CULTURE | HERITAGE | ENVIRONMENT
Standing proudly over falls that were harnessed by
pioneering settlers 130 years ago, the Alton Mill is now a vibrant
arts centre featuring art studios, galleries, a heritage museum, café and
unique specialty shops.
The magnificent restoration, completed in 2009, earned the Heritage Canada Foundation's national achievement award for adaptive reuse. The melding of thick stone walls and
timber structure with modern architectural elements make the Alton
Mill the perfect venue for art lovers from every walk of life.
Discover painters, potters & printmakers, jewellery, glass & textile artists and
galleries featuring contemporary Canadian and international art. You can buy a gift or a work of art for your home, or exercise your own creative juices in our many classes and workshops ranging from acrylic or encaustic painting, to pottery or jewellery making. You can even go for a hike on the Bruce trail that meanders through the property. All in an
idyllic waterside setting, less than an hour northwest of downtown Toronto.
PRIVATE EVENT BOOKINGS - meetings, events & banquets!
The Alton Mill is also an ideal location for a private party, meeting or event.
