With a view of Zwicker and Ernst Islands in the Mahone Bay, the gallery is located on the South Shore 20 minutes from Chester, 10 minutes from the town of Mahone Bay and 15 minutes from the UNESCO site of Lunenburg. The drive is spectacular along the coast with a view of mussel and kelp farms, a local ship builder and the Blue Nose II anchored in the bay for a special evening every year. Look for the "Nova Scotia blue" building.
The gallery was nominated for the MODL Innovation Award in 2024 for its unique combination of art and technology used to teach visitors about reclamation and conservation. Stop in to try the Virtual Reality goggles!

As a reclamation, preservation and conservation artist, the islands cared for by the Mahone Islands Conservation Association, Ducks Unlimited and the Nature Conservancy of Canada were a perfect match and a great subject matter for this pristine area of Nova Scotia. The islands are visible from the fine art gallery and provide inspiring views as the ever-changing sky highlights the land and ocean below it.
If you are not at the collector stage, the fine art images can be found on beautifully lined totes, coasters, prints, and postcards for all budgets.
What's in a name...
Whiskey Jack Gallery is based on Canada's national bird: the Grey Jay. The bird was selected as the national bird because it represents Canadians. This gallery also represents Canadians: hardy, friendly and smart.
The bird is also known in First Nations lore for leading people home when lost.
Thank you for creating such a meaningful experience for residents and visitors. It’s obvious to anybody that you are committed to forging connections and communication through creativity. I appreciate what you bring to the community.
