Halls and Events something for everyone
Silverton Gallery: Located next to the Village Office in our
Municipal Block, the Gallery was originally built as a Schoolhouse in
the early 1900s. It now houses an art gallery; performance room with
theatre lights & sound system; workshops; dressing rooms; and a kitchen.
The Gallery operates year-round, thanks to a host of volunteers and a
small paid staff during the summer months.

combination of public subscription, donations and volunteer labour.
Memorial Hall, recently underwent major renovations and now features a
new fully equipped kitchen, lighting system, full sound system, LCD

finest acoustic halls of its size in Canada, and is ideal for concerts,
meetings, receptions, dances, weddings, etc.
