Art400²
Art400²
The pastiche or collage of curatorship is only as good as the materials it is given. What is fabulous can be augmented, unveiled, turned upside down, or made meta for the universally curious, but it needs to be interesting to begin with, passionate already, even if by quiet means, even if by loud. The materials in this exhibit are fabulously different from one another and yet raucously grounded in the artisanal scene of the crafting culture and memory of this place. Art400² is a collective of artists and curators from New Brunswick who is currently floating between physical spaces. The previous artistic director, Sara Brinkhurst, invited them in to share their current processes with us using the stage of our physical space (a space we are blessed to have and blessed to work for its endurance and evolution).

The radiance of pure colour – Anne will teach you how to control that colour. This is a three-day course that will introduce you to the methods of painting with soft pastels – from choosing your subject, composing the painting, and finishing the work.
Composition, value, colours, types of paper, application of pastels will be covered, with explanations and demos.
If weather permits, we will paint outside (plein air). At the end of the course, there will be a group discussion and critique of the work. Click to visit our official website.
Painting Fundy: A Lifetime Obsession
Painting Fundy: A Lifetime Obsession
In Painting Fundy: A Lifetime Obsession, the artworks featured in our Harbour View Gallery this month represent a lifetime’s work from Anne Johnston and Jerome Andrews. Both artists have spent the majority of their lives living along the shores of the Bay of Fundy. As dedicated painters and advocates of the natural environment—with the endless changing moods and views of the coastline and horizons—there are always some new moments to capture.

As far back as I can remember, I have loved creating art! Drawing was my passion from the time I began school and continued up to my discovery of painting with color! I have worked with most painting media, but prefer watercolor and oils.

Art400²
Art400²
The pastiche or collage of curatorship is only as good as the materials it is given. What is fabulous can be augmented, unveiled, turned upside down, or made meta for the universally curious, but it needs to be interesting to begin with, passionate already, even if by quiet means, even if by loud. The materials in this exhibit are fabulously different from one another and yet raucously grounded in the artisanal scene of the crafting culture and memory of this place. Art400² is a collective of artists and curators from New Brunswick who is currently floating between physical spaces. The previous artistic director, Sara Brinkhurst, invited them in to share their current processes with us using the stage of our physical space (a space we are blessed to have and blessed to work for its endurance and evolution).
