ARTISTS
“Not only did the gallery grant career-related experiences, it opened a door to a social network. The gallery is the meeting place and cornerstone for artists in the community. It has been an invaluable reference when venturing outside of the community, allowing for other artists and institutions to understand who I am and where I come from.”
JR Hunter, Artist

SG Print Studio: Back on Track
The Nicholas Novak Print Studio honours an exceptional individual and artist, whose contributions from 1975 until his death 1980, left an indelible mark on Station Gallery. Our 375 square foot (114.3 m²) Print Studio is housed in a reconditioned railcar, which has been converted into a full-functioning workshop equipped with print presses.
Following another long winter, our print studio is now open! For more detail on guidelines and information about the print studio and equipment usage, check out the link below:
