Who We Are...
Tides Contemporary Art Gallery is a non-profit, artist-run gallery, operating on the rock-solid belief in old fashioned rural co-operation and mutual support. Tides Gallery is located on Kentville's unique downtown square, an intimate and picturesque blend of restaurants, boutique shopping, and professional services.
We are 7 visual artists representing the widest expression of styles, materials, and experience. Our artists have earned strong recognition in regional and provincial venues, and some at national and international exhibitions. Their interpretations of colourful Maritime culture and place are offered in both two and three dimensions.
Tides Contemporary Art Gallery began in 2017 as Hardware Gallery, a non-profit community gallery. With the support of the Town of Kentville, it was one of several projects initiated by the Kentville Art Gallery Society (KAGS), including downtown murals, education programs, and public art projects. KAGS welcomes volunteers, sponsors, and partnerships from the regional community.
Tides Contemporary Art Gallery was created by KAGS in 2019 using a co-operative business model that offered long-term stability within uncertain times for rural-based economies.

Gift of Art Certificates
There is no gift more treasured, more individual, or unique than original art and fine crafts. But few of us want to guess at someone else's tastes. Or perhaps there's no time left to find that unique gift for a special occasion.
Tides Gallery has the perfect solution in its Gift of Art program. Gift certificates of flexible values and no expiry date. You can get one certificate to cover everything, or a group can get several certificates that add up to something special.
