This self-proclaimed "gallery tucked away in a parking lot" is an artsy conglomeration of paintings, sculptures, glass works, metal works and photography presented in a classic whitewashed, brick-walled setting. The organization strives to provide an outlet for member artists to exhibit their work and local residents and visitors to experience and enjoy these visual arts. Shows change monthly, with member artists exhibiting several times annually. Each year ends with an All-Member Holiday Show. If you are strolling through the Old Market, stop by for a peek.

Located at the historic Poppleton Block, which is considered a national heritage site, Passageway Gallery showcases works by local artists in a charming environment.

The gallery is also an important stop on the summer Old Market Gallery Walks which take place once a month. Many of the works displayed here are available for purchase.
