It's located right in the heart of downtown, making it super accessible, and the space itself is beautiful very clean, quiet, and well-organized. I specifically enjoyed "The Great Lakes" exhibit; it was a really thoughtful exploration of the landscape using different media like video and sculpture. The gallery also has a fantastic permanent collection of Canadian art (including some Group of Seven pieces) and the Kim Adams "Bruegel-Bosch Bus" is a must-see you can spend ages just looking at all the tiny details in that installation. The staff was helpful and the AGH Shop on the way out has some really unique jewelry and home goods that you don't see everywhere else. Whether you're a local or just visiting the city, it's a great way to spend a few hours. If you're coming on a weekend, check the parking meters nearby as some are free on Saturdays, or use the underground city parking right on King Street West. Thursday's admission is free and the gallery is open late :).

The top floor is free to visit year round and they have a lower level with a paid exhibit. Throughout the year the lower exhibit changes and I recommend checking it out. The current exhibit is called Wonder, and it focuses on looking at the world from a different angle to see how you can make a difference. It was a really unique exhibit with some interesting artwork including 3D sculptures, an interactive element, and collages made by local artists. Would I Recommend this Museum? Definitely!

I phoned the gallery and spoke with the owner (Bob) about purchasing a painting and was in…read morediscussions about shipping it to the US. The owner expressed some frustration about shipping to US. And, I asked if we could figure out a way to make it work and he said he'd get the painting and consider it. A while later a staff member (Andrea) called back and left a message for me to call back. I returned the call and she said they didn't want to ship it to US and was concerned it was in fragile condition. I sad Ok. I then called a friend who lives nearby said he'd be able to get / it or receive it and bring it when he visited me soon. So, I called back and told the staff member I had a solution to the situation and informed her my friend could handle and bring the piece. She paused for a bit, then said, I'm sorry it was just sold. I felt her explanation was disingenuous at the least. And I expressed my amazement and indicated her story seemed factitious. She put me on hold for a while and then I spoke again with Bob. Bob started telling a different story and then said, well, the piece was actually just sold. He said someone just walked in and bought it, so it wasn't available. What are the chances of someone walking in and purchasing a Florida painting in February in Hamilton, Canada? lol Got to say this seems like unscrupulous, disingenuous and even dishonest behavior and business practices. Suggest that any buyers proceed with extreme caution if considering doing business with Earls Court Gallery. Buyers beware!

I love handmade cards and prints and supporting local artists. The exhibitions are wide ranging in terms of genre I've seen photos, prints, sculpture, paintings in their gallery spaces by local and international artist. They have a new printmaking space in a separate building, and podcasting and digital art / film editing studios onsite. I took an intro to Adobe Illustrator class in the main building pre-pandemic and found it super helpful. I was so inspired afterwards I started digital animating in my spare time. There are so many wonderful local programs and opportunities to create and learn with artists in Centre 3's amazing facilitates and out in the community.

Unfortunately it was not available on my second visit so I ordered the cinnamon bun muffin and the cranberry orange donut and both were incredible. The muffin reminded me so much of the monkey bread and everything about it was perfect. The donut was outstanding and that cranberry orange flavor completely blew my mind. I truly hope it becomes a regular item. I also decided to try a slice of pizza since everyone always raves about it. To be honest I went in a little skeptical because when something is overly hyped it usually disappoints me. I was very wrong. I ordered the roni supreme with whipped ricotta hot honey and pepperoni and it absolutely knocked my taste buds down. The dough was light thin and crispy and the combination of hot honey with the whipped ricotta was mind blowing. It felt like opening Pandora's box and now I am wondering how I am ever going to get my summer body back. The service was fantastic and genuinely kind and even though it was busy they kept the line moving at a great pace. I have not yet sat inside because it tends to get crowded and I like my space but the interior is cute. If you can find a quieter time to enjoy your food I would definitely recommend staying.

The staff were patient and kind. The restaurant itself is a bit small but has some seating in case you wish to dine in house.
