Since 2006 a group of artists from Nova Scotia, Canada come together regularly to share a love of art making. The group was founded to give artists the possibility to step out of their studios and enjoy creative company once a week. Artists work on their own projects in various mediums and techniques, support and critique each other’s artworks and share information on art related topics. Members have also worked on collaborative art projects such as the “Po lar Exhibit”, “Global Shoe Project”, and “Joachin in His Shoes”; a cultural art project facilitated by past member Patricia Gonzales Rivero. We have participated in numerous group exhibits including one at the beautiful J. Franklin Wright Gallery in Cape Breton and for fundraiser “Mosaic for Mental Health”.
Our name is ARTSPA. “Art making is better than a day at the Spa”, said Catherine McMillen (1927-2010) who was our gracious elder, a Nova Scotia College of Art graduate and a founding member of Artspa. We all miss her but her enthusiasm for art continues to live in us all. |
