Arts and culture are integral to life at Windsor, where The Gallery at Windsor presents museum-caliber contemporary art exhibitions and the Léon Krier-designed Town Hall hosts concerts, performances and talks by artists, musicians and thought leaders. A robust calendar of events brings Members together throughout the year.
TOWN HALL
Architectural and urban theorist Léon Krier, a significant voice in the New Urbanism movement, designed Windsor’s Town Hall, which serves as both meeting hall and non-denominational place of worship. Overlooking the Equestrian Centre and just steps from the Village Centre, the Town Hall is in the heart of the Windsor community. Its airy and voluminous interior, which enjoys beautiful natural light, has been the site of numerous Members’ weddings, musical concerts, performing arts events, and talks by cultural leaders.
The monumentality of its scale, the sheer repetition of its elements proclaim its exceptional status as shelter and symbol of the community.
– LÉON KRIER, ARCHITECT
Town Hall Architecture
Widely revered in architectural circles, and the design inspiration for Windsor’s brand icon, the Town Hall has been described as combining regality with comfort. The neoclassical structure, which references the American vernacular in its design, rests on a podium with a simple rectangular plan. Multiple doors allow cross-breezes and natural light filters through its many arched windows. Thirty white columns support a steeply pitched roof that rises above the skyline of the Village. It is a focal point of major vistas and sits adjacent to a public square with a calming water fountain. Although it opened in late 1999, the Town Hall’s purity of form gives it a timeless quality.
Concerts, Performances & Talks
The Town Hall is a cherished amenity at Windsor – a place where Members gather as a community under the soaring rafters to hear world-class musicians and presentations on an array of topics from culture to the economy and world affairs. It has also been the site of countless family celebrations, and, as the spiritual heart of the community, the place where services are held around major religious holidays. Events are also held in Windsor’s Exedra amphitheater, Pergola and numerous other outdoor locations.
THE GALLERY
The Gallery at Windsor is an independent art space, home to important works of art from the George Weston Collection and host to museum-caliber exhibitions of contemporary art developed in collaboration with prominent international arts organizations and curators.
Culture is an important part of the spirit of a community, so it is only natural that art and artists should become part of the fabric of this place.
