The Helson Gallery is the Town of Halton Hills’ premier public art gallery and home to the culturally significant Helson Collection of Canadian and European paintings.
The Helson Gallery was initially a Congregational Church constructed in 1854. The conversion of the church/library to a gallery enabled restoration of the original plaster vaulted ceiling and the retention of the colourful stained glass windows, creating an atmosphere of elegance and tranquillity.
Halton Hills is located about 55km north-west of Toronto, Ontario. It is a famous area notable for many locations where Canada’s famous Group of Seven painted. (Famous Canadian landscape painters during the 1920s)
