Welcome to the Pumphouse

Pumphouse by Dennis Chilton

Started in 2001, the Lakeside Pumphouse Artists' Association has continued to grow with over 75 members. The group meets most Wednesday afternoons (1:00-3:30) at the Elizabeth St. Pumphouse, located in Grimsby's Forty Mile Creek Park, on the shore of Lake Ontario. It has a very social feeling.

Our goals are to bring together people with a common interest in art, with different skill levels from novice to professional, and provide development opportunities for sharing skills and techniques.

The group also enhances that experience by organizing workshops, demos and plein air sessions, and by holding exhibitions to display our work. We encourage art appreciation and strive to develop leadership in visual arts.

Mission Statement

The Lakeside Pumphouse Artists' Association is an organization dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and encouraging artistic growth of its members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the arts.
