Armstrong Fine Art Consulting is rooted in the esteemed John Mann Gallery

"It’s been a week since the John Mann Gallery permanently closed its doors, and in that time, we’ve had the chance to reflect on its profound legacy in St. Catharines. For Margie and me, it has been an incredible honour to be a part of John Mann’s visionary journey—helping to establish one of Canada’s largest commercial galleries right here in St. Catharines. Over the course of five years, the 6,000-square-foot gallery became a cornerstone of the local art scene, hosting more than 50 remarkable exhibitions and facilitating the sale of millions of dollars worth of art.

 While we deeply cherish the gallery’s impact, Margie and I have pivoted to a new venture: Armstrong Fine Art Consulting. In this new chapter, we remain committed to serving art collectors by partnering with a range of respected galleries and artists, offering an even broader selection of contemporary Canadian artwork. We are also continuing to work closely with the Mann Collection, which boasts hundreds of pieces of contemporary Canadian art, providing a unique opportunity for collectors to engage with exceptional works.

 We invite you to follow us as we embark on this exciting journey. Let us help you find the perfect piece of art that speaks to you and enriches your collection."
