Arctic Experience McNaught Gallery

191 James Street South, Hamilton, ON L8P 3A8

The Arctic Experience McNaught Gallery in Hamilton, Ontario, specializes in Inuit art and Canadian landscape paintings.

Hamilton natives Marvin and Lorraine Cohen moved to Baffin Island in the 1970s when Marvin accepted a teaching position in Frobisher Bay. The couple spent five years with the Inuit community there and became connected with the people and their art. They returned to Hamilton in the 1980s and opened the Arctic Experience Gallery in 1983 to appraise and showcase Inuit sculpture and hold exhibitions of the work of Inuit artists. The Cohens continue to visit Cape Dorset to bring back new sculptures from some of Canada's Inuit artists.

The McNaught Gallery showcases pieces from Canadian artists who work with landscape and nature motifs. There is an emphasis on Hamilton-area painters, including Brian Darcy, James Gummerson, Heather Pate, and Gisele Comtois. The gallery also features a number of historical prints, including pieces from George Thompson, Franz Johnston, Ghislain Caron, Frank Panabaker, Frederick Haines, and Major James Wallis.
