Onefortyfive director Troy Watson said the exhibition was the first major undertaking by his emerging 100-person gallery, which is located in the former Grantham Township Hall on King Street.

"We're pretty new and we felt the exhibit would be a high-profile event for us," he said. "It fits right in with the themes we want to pursue as a gallery."

Artist's Survey: The Greenbelt, in partnership with Friends of the Greenbelt and the Niagara Artists Centre, makes its final stop at onefortyfive gallery on 145 King St., from March 19 to 28. Gallery hours are Thursday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 289-969-3326 or visit www.onefortyfive.com.
