Come From Away | Exhibition Walk-Through
Celebrate and thank those who came from away to land here, in this place called New Brunswick.
Our Come From Away Exhibition has come to a close, but if you were unable to visit us in person you can still take a video tour of this awe-inspiring show right here. Grab your favourite snack or a glass of wine and explore what these vibrant artists bring to our community. Feel free to pause the video to soak in each unique piece.
“The title of this publication is not a label but an invitation:
come from away.”
The history of art and craft in New Brunswick is often a story of immigration. From the Deichmanns to the Oudemans, many of our influential changemakers came from away.
That tradition continues to this day. Perhaps drawn by our cooperative community, our wild spaces or our inexpensive studio and study options, immigrating artists from near and far choose to settle here. Not only do they settle, but they stir up exciting activity in the communities fortunate enough to welcome them.
Just like newcomers bring diverse perspectives to our province, New Brunswick artists travel far and wide, bearing the torch of our region and bringing back new insights. -Issue 15 COME FROM AWAY
