Mayberry Fine Art sees new location as blank canvas, celebrating with auction, exhibition

Mayberry Fine Art, a family-owned gallery in Winnipeg, is relocating after 23 years at 212 McDermot Ave. to a larger warehouse-style space at 661 Wall St. next month.

To mark the transition, the gallery is hosting its Spring Fine Art Auction, running online until May 28, featuring 89 paintings and sculptures expected to fetch between $1.1 million and $1.5 million, with works by notable Canadian artists such as Alfred Casson, Arthur Lismer, and Norval Morrisseau.
