Admission is free throughout the exhibition’s run.
ARTSPLACE is a public Art Gallery operated by the Annapolis Region Community Arts Council, a registered charitable community organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting the arts. It is supported through the Province of Nova Scotia and the Canada Council for the Arts. ARTSPLACE is located in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. They commit to making space within their programs for people to learn about the history of the Peace and Friendship Treaties and the relationship between nations, both past and present. They also acknowledge that land acknowledgements alone are not enough; they must seek out and support Indigenous artists and listen to diverse voices.
