Frederick Horsman Varley Art Gallery, or the Markham Arts Centre, as it’s known colloquially, is an art museum in Ontario, Canada. The gallery has an extensive collection of artefacts from all over North America and showcases them with passion for people who want to view these pieces but also learn more about their story behind how they came into being here at this particular location on Main Street Unionville

The institution was founded by local artist Frederick VanLeer aka “Fred”, during his lifetime through bequests left after dying intestate according to those close friends whom he requested would take care not only of himself but any future talents found among others.

You can learn about the great artists and their work from an expert’s perspective in this place. The gallery offers group tours, school programs for students of all ages (including children), studio courses, and workshops that will help enthusiasts improve their skills in art appreciation or even start creating themselves. They also have special family activities planned just because we know how much time away from home visiting museums takes up nowadays - not to mention it would be difficult without some good old fashioned hands-on learning happening at home too.

The art gallery is just a short walk from Salem-Eckhardt House, the historical figure Kathleen Gormley McKay’s residence. Built in 1841 and later home to Frederick Varley, after whom it was named for him who donated many original pieces by himself there that are on display today at this impressive venue along with other treasures, including works by French painter Rodin, which can be seen through an open glass enclosure making them accessible yet respectful, so guests don’t bump into exhibits while taking photos.

The Frederick Horsman Varley Art Gallery is located at 216 Main Street Unionville, Markham, Ontario, L3R 2H1, Canada. Both the Markham locals and tourists from all walks of life are welcome to visit this museum.
