The Art Gallery of Sudbury is an art gallery in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

Established in 1967 by the city's chamber of commerce under the Canadian Centennial projects, the gallery is located in the historic turn of the century arts and crafts movement Belrock Mansion of William J. Bell, an early lumber baron in the city and philanthropist.[1] It was originally known as the Laurentian University Museum and Art Centre, or LUMAC, and adopted its current name in 1997.

In October 2023, the facility was temporarily closed due to structural issues with the interior staircase.[2]

Relocation and expansion plans

On October 27, 2010, the gallery announced that it will begin fundraising for and building a new Шаблон:Convert gallery building, to be named the Franklin Carmichael Gallery, with an initial target date of 2014.[3][4]

As of 2018, the new facility is planned to be colocated with a new main branch of the Sudbury Public Library.[5] Construction on the new facility was originally slated to begin in 2020, on the current site of the Sudbury Arena following the opening of a new larger arena in the city's east end,[6] however, this was complicated by delays in, and the ultimate cancellation of, the arena project.[7]

As of 2023, the current proposal would see the combined gallery and library facility located in a portion of Tom Davies Square.[8]
