Gibson Gallery grateful for the support of Art by the River

Letter to the Editor Caption

The Gibson Gallery and Art by the River Committee would like to thank the many people who helped us to organize and run our annual event.


Art by the River is the original Essex County arts and crafts festival, an end of summer tradition in our 57th year. We thank Fort Malden Historic Site for giving us such a picturesque venue to host our event and their staff and volunteers for assisting us throughout the weekend and the weeks leading up to the event. We have been at this venue since the very beginning and you cannot beat the view.

We would like to thank our sponsors for their generosity year after year, Royal Bank of Canada, Windsor Family Credit Union, TD Canada Trust, Michael Mereszak from BMO Nesbitt Burns, Ron Deneau and Arms Bumanlag from Bob Pedlar, Dow Signs, AM 800, McDonalds, Amico and River Town Times.  Your continued generosity makes this major fundraiser possible each year.


We would like to thank all of our volunteers for their continued support through donation of their time.  It is your hard work and smiling faces greeting our guests that keep people coming through our gates to support our many artists and artisans.  Whether you were greeting our guests, helping in the cash room, helping with our vendors or helping with the grounds, we truly appreciate your hard work.


We would like to thank the many artists and artisans for choosing to join us each year, it is a pleasure meeting and working with you throughout Art by the River weekend.


We would also like to thank the Amherstburg community and surrounding communities for supporting us each year by coming through our gates and supporting the hard work of all the artists and artisans.


We would like to thank the Town of Amherstburg for their help each year, we appreciate the time you take to promote our event and help us each time we ask.   


Art by the River, being our major fundraiser each year, is what makes it possible to keep the doors of this former Michigan Central Railroad station open for us to share as an art gallery, heritage building, railway museum and centre for arts and crafts.  We thank you for all of your support and invite you to come see an exhibit, visit the museum or take an art class.
