Kenneth Malcolm Leal (sometimes spelled Lealle or Leale) appears to have been born in Tweed, Ontario and spent his early years in Windsor, Ontario. Leal expressed an early interest in photography, both taking and collecting photographs in the 1930s. In 1941 he moved to Kingston and by 1946 was employed full time as a photographer in the Kingston studio, Abraham's Studio, owned by Cliff Abrams. In 1948 Leal became the official photographer for the Canadian Locomotive Company where he remained until about 1960. He continued doing commercial photography work, sometimes under his own name as Lealle Photo Studio. He died in 1962.

James William Powell became an apprentice photographer with Sheldon & Davis in 1867. He opened his first business in 1868 as Powell & Tobey in Napanee, Ontario. By 1873, he had opened his own studio in Kingston, Ontario. His studios were located at 135 Wellington Street over King's Drug Store from 1875 to the early 1880's, at 43 Brock Street (part of the Anchor Block), then finally at 165 Princess Street in 1883.

In 1894, James Powell became blind after suffering from a stroke. His wife, Jane, and son, Haffell, continued the business from this point until 1906.

The seeds of the present Art Centre were sown in 1926, with the formation of the Kingston Art and Music Club, of which Agnes Etherington (1880-1954) was a driving force. She continued to work for the arts in Kingston throughout her life and in her final years, drew up plans to bequeath her house, an elegant Neo-Georgian mansion, to Queen's University for use as a university and community art gallery. The Agnes Etherington Art Centre opened to the public in 1957, with respected artist André Biéler as founding director.

To meet the needs of the gallery's expanding functions, extensions to the building were added in 1962, 1975, 1978 and 2000. The Agnes supports a program of a dozen exhibitions annually, and a spectrum of artists' talks and performances, public lectures, symposia, workshops, and school and family programs.
