Best Small Art Town in Canada


Nelson was chosen as this by the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America and ranked fifth across North America. You discover many sculptures and murals depicting local scenes in the downtown core as you take the walking tour. There is a feast of authentic Victorian frontier architecture with 350 heritage homes and buildings. Alex's grandfather was one of the early architects and designed many of these buildings. This is Rosemary standing in front of the local tax assessment building, one of the buildings he designed. It has very intricate brickwork.
There are gorgeous gardens and planters everywhere and sitting at a sidewalk cafe is very relaxing. We went to the art gallery and enjoyed the local art and some quilts that were displayed.
