Down To Earth Art Gallery has been in business in the same location at 240 Main St., Antigonish, Nova Scotia since 1996!

We stay up to date on the latest framing materials as well as new techniques and have framed thousands of pieces. All work is done on site by us using archival material, meaning we control the quality of the whole project for every step.

We carry many well-known local favourites but it’s also where original paintings by one of the original Group of Seven members, Franz Johnston, and the worlds most recognized First Nations artist, Norval Morrisseau, have been found. Along with works by Canada’s leading marine artist J. Franklin Wright, and one of the country’s most significant aboriginal artists, Alan Syliboy, our customers are sometimes a little…… “Seriously ?” you have….Maud Lewis, Joe Norris, J.W. Beatty,…… ?”

Down To Earth Art Gallery has been a leader in creative, distinctive custom picture framing. All museum quality mats, conservation and museum glass, and wood picture mouldings. All work is guaranteed forever, since the first day we opened in 1996. Absolutely NO plastic or foam frames!
