The site of Rodman Hall is the historic Thomas Rodman Merritt house built in 1853
and includes property along the Twelve Mile Creek in the centre of St. Catharines.
It is one of the premier facilities for the visual arts in the Niagara Region,
presenting a dynamic and diverse exhibition program, featuring work of local,
regional, national and international artists. It houses a permanent collection
with over 1000 contemporary and historical works of art. The
facilities include: the Gift Shop, Art Rental shop, art instruction rooms, and
an art reference library. In 1975, the Centre achieved status as a "National Exhibition
Centre" with a major addition to its facilities. Rodman
Hall entered a new era in October 2003 with Brock University's acquisition of
the facilities. |
