About the MacLarenArtCentre
The MacLarenArtCentre is Simcoe County’s regional public art gallery. Located in downtown Barrie, the MacLaren is housed in a 24,000-square-foot award-winning building that combines a renovated 1917 Carnegie library and a contemporary addition by Siamak Hariri. The complex includes multiple galleries, visible storage, an education centre, a sculpture courtyard, café, gift shop and framing department. The MacLaren presents a year-round programme of local, regional, national and international exhibitions at the gallery and across the city of Barrie and houses a permanent collection of over 26,000 works of art. Education provides the unifying link that activates our collection and exhibitions, and fosters an appreciation of the visual arts.
