Our Story
Bay 1 Gallery has long been a dream of local furniture designer and craftsman Ralph Reichenbach. He envisioned a space not only to showcase his own work, but also to support fellow fine furniture makers, professional artisans, and fine artists from the region. This dream was made possible thanks to those who came before him.
What began in the double garage of Eberhard and Alma Reichenbach has grown into the 24,000-square-foot wood manufacturing facility it is today. The dedication and hard work of Ralph’s immigrant parents from East Germany laid the foundation for what is now Bay 1 Gallery, housed within Eberhard’s Manufacturing.
As we look forward, we also look back—seeking to move ahead with respect and gratitude for the land on which we gather. We respectfully acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place, travel route, and home to the Cree, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Anishinaabe, Métis, Inuit, and many others. Their diverse histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape and enrich our communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to live, create, and build relationships on this land.
Bay 1 Gallery is committed to representing a dynamic roster of Canadian artists across generations and cultures, working in a variety of mediums. With a dedicated team experienced in the fine arts, the gallery seeks to foster meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and the wider community.
Though modest in size—just 1,000 square feet—our gallery offers a warm, elegant, and flexible space suited to both group exhibitions and focused, personalized installations.
We invite you to visit Bay 1 Gallery during our posted hours. If those times don’t work for you, please contact us to schedule a personal or group viewing. Virtual appointments with curbside pickup are also available for your convenience.
