The Douglas Family Art Centre is a new addition to Kenora. Opening in 2019, the Douglas Family Art Centre’s collection is based on a donation of over 60 W.J. Phillips paintings of the Lake of the Woods and surrounding area. As the only public art gallery between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg, the Douglas Family Art Centre captures the spirit of the North, often featuring indigenous, nationally and internationally recognized artists.
