From Whitby Junction to Station Gallery
In 1967, a group of passionate arts enthusiasts in Whitby started a community gallery, operating under the name Whitby Arts Inc. In 1969, the group, supported by interested volunteers and benefactors purchased Whitby’s Grand Trunk Railway Station which had been slated for demolition. The name ‘Station Gallery’ was adopted to reflect the heritage building. Some of the founding names included the Irwin Family amongst others…. Through the foresight of a number of local citizens and the Town of Whitby, the 1903 Whitby Junction Station continues to serve the community, not only as an art gallery, but as a part of Whitby’s heritage.
