Celebrate the season at the Carleton Place Gallery with The 50s; a special holiday exhibition featuring a diverse selection of original fine art, priced at $250, $350 and $450. This curated collection showcases the creativity of Ottawa region artists, and is perfect for collectors and gift-givers alike. The show offers an opportunity for visitors to acquire unique works of art just in time for the holidays. Whether creating, giving or collecting, one can celebrate the season with affordable art that is both memorable and meaningful.
A proportion of the sales proceeds will be donated to a local charity, Cornerstone Landing Youth Services.
Cornerstone Landing Youth Services is a non profit charitable organization dedicated to preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness in Lanark County and Smiths Falls. Through a Housing First for Youth approach, we meet vulnerable youth aged 16-24 exactly where they are. Through mobile, intensive case management, we provide unconditional stable housing supports combined with long term individualized wrap around supports including rent supplements, trusteeship, re entry into education and employment, mental health, transportation, life skills, food security and more. By focusing on rebuilding relationships, fostering community connection, and building independence, we provide young people with stability and skills needed to thrive. Supporting their growth into self reliance ensures a successful transition to adulthood and a permanent way out of housing instability. Together we will end youth homelessness.
BIG EVENT OF THE YEAR!

Carleton Place Riverfront Artscape Returned for a second year – A Celebration of Art and Music
The Carleton Place Gallery launched the first-ever Carleton Place Riverfront Artscape, a vibrant outdoor festival of locally with lovingly produced art, music and food in August, 2025. It was held along the beautiful Mississippi riverside in Sinclair Square adjacent to the Gallery on 210 Bridge Street. Conceived and organized by Ginny Fobert, owner of the Carleton Place Gallery – which showcases local and regional artists year-round and is a hub for creativity in the Ottawa Valley – this brand-new community event returned for year two. Riverfront Artscape 2026 was held on Saturday, August 15, and OH WHAT A DAY WE HAD! The weather was perfect, the music played all day long, the crowds were steady, the sales and connections with artists were plentiful!
“The Carleton Place Riverfront Artscape is all about building community and celebrating the incredible talent in and around Carleton Place,” says organizer Ginny Fobert. “We wanted residents and visitors to wander among the fine art, grab a bite, listen to live music, and truly soak in our vibrant culture alongside the beautiful Mississippi River.” And they did!
2026 was exciting with over 40 artists, live painting and demos and more! CKCU 93.1 fm broadcast live from 10 am to 1 pm, followed by music by the Almonte Song Circle. Food Vendors include Pie Are Squared, Michelle's Icecream Carnival, and Foodie Lu's Italian Street Food.
Thank you all for your support of the gallery and of the artists at Riverfront Artscape! We hope to see you again soon.
