Moncton Artisan Village

In March I posted about the Moncton Artisan Village which is housed in a former warehouse space. I got a chance to visit Moncton and snapped this photo of the building. It’s a cool space, and worth checking out.

Artisan Village

I visited Moncton yesterday and cam across a pretty cool space in the downtown. Located at 465 Main Street is an artist workshop and gallery. The converted warehouse space features a group of artist studios where they can create and teach. The operators envision having a cafe up and running and they already showcase the works of multiple artists.

Nature of Art of Nature

I went to an cool opening last night. The Nature Trust of NB collaborated with students at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design to showcase works inspired by the nature preserves around the province. There were some impressive works, and I got to chat with some interesting artists.
