Current Exhibitions
on display until July 6

See two new exhibitions featuring Saint John artists, Deanna Musgrave and Mimi Lucas. Musgrave’s work emphasizes flow and expresses her deep connection to water. This new body of work gives it a voice - highlighting that water is a consciousness thus bringing into question how we treat it and environmental concerns around it. Lucas' abstracted landscapes present a personal narrative on the environmental climate and how it impacts our lives.
