The Maritime Painted Saltbox Gallery

We ran across this gem while touring our favourite parts of the South Shore with some visiting friends from Ontario.You'll find The Maritime Painted Saltbox Gallery in Petite Riviere. Run by two VERY talented artists, Tom Alway and Peter Blais, the barn is stocked full of fine art, folk art and heritage reproduction furniture.As you can see, their property is absolutely gorgeous. But you'll have to take a visit to the gallery to see the treasures inside. (and it's worth a trip, I promise you)We met Tom (or was it Peter? I'm not sure since John was doing all the talking as I was doing all the gawking at the treasures inside and out) who is very friendly and gave us recommendations on what sites to travel on to in our journey. Oh, how I would love to have a barn like this at home!Open May 1st through October 31st. Off season, by chance or appointment. Call toll free 1.877.624.4513 or email saltbox@eastlink.ca

265 Petite Riviere Road, Petite Riviere
