Kingsville is located on the north shore of Lake Erie on the 42nd parallel, the southernmost point of the province. The town is home to The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary where thousands of Canada Geese stop over to rest on their migration route in Spring and Fall.

We welcome artists painting in all media to come and paint in and around our beautiful town which offers a variety of historical buildings, marinas, quaint farms and lakeside vistas while enjoying the hospitality and amenities the town has to offer.
