You are invited to one of the most highly anticipated virtual events in Canada on Tuesday, May 18 at 12pm CT. The team at Vexxit brings together a panel of experts to answer your questions and shed light on this pressing topic facing leaders across the country. Join Lisa Cefali of Legacy Bowes, Scott Hoeppner of TDS Law and host Lauren McNabb of CJOB 680 for a live discussion on vaccine policies in the workplace.
As a business owner and an employer, there is a responsibility to keep your team safe and healthy in their work environment. An employee's rights as an individual is also of the utmost importance.

They’ll answer these questions along with questions submitted by Canadian business leaders, employees and the public at large.

May 5 marked our 5th Anniversary as a physical, bricks and mortar gallery.
This milestone has been a great opportunity to reflect as both an artist and a business owner. The past few years have not been without challenges but the ride has also been highly rewarding.
SPRING "SECRET" SALE
Last May, we had the first sale in our history. Over a week, artists dictated discounts on their work which resulted in the third best month for sales in Grant Berg Gallery history. Thanks to the generous support from the community, we successfully generated critical income for both artists and the gallery at a time when we were down substantially.
Due to this success, we are offering ta sale once again from May 11 to 16, 2021.
Come in to the gallery to discover what’s in store and if you’re captivated by a piece, I will reveal any discounts currently on offer by the artist. This approach of not listing prices, maintains the integrity that you are buying art and not a price so you can make a connection with the work that matters to you.
The savings offered are between 10 and 40% on paintings and sculptures and does not include new arrivals.
For everyone’s protection and AHS guidelines, we continue to limit traffic in the gallery but the doors remain open.
Hours
Tuesday – Friday
10:00 am - 5:30 pm
Saturday
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
