Whether your family has been living here for generations or you are a brand new resident, there’s no better place to call home than Guysborough County. Just ask the many visitors who came for a holiday and discovered they couldn’t leave!

Photographer Kas Stone is one of those people. She moved here two years ago from Nova Scotia’s busy South Shore and put down roots in Port Felix. In this presentation, Kas invites you to think about what “home” means to you, and to share stories about the special places in our lives. What makes Guysborough County such an amazing place to live? Join us at The Road House on July 3rd to find out!

ArtWorks East hopes you’ll help turn “The Places We Call Home” into a community book project. Details to be announced at the presentation.

Bring your creative minds to produce/craft a driftwood framed chalkboard sign. Sandy Winter will lead you through the process. All materials provided and we have plenty of driftwood to go around but enjoy the beach hunt for your very own special pieces. 

• Workshop fee is $35 (subsidies available)
• Please contact Sandy Winter to register
• Since space is limited a non-refundable $10 is required to hold your place, please send an e-transfer to artworkseast.awe@gmail.com

Food and drinks will be available to purchase during the event!

This year, we will invite painters in all media (oils, acrylics, water color, and other) to join us for a day of painting on the colorful Guysborough waterfront.

Artists of all ages and talents are invited to this free event.
For those who would like some instruction and support, the talented Moni Duersch will provide all materials (canvas, brushes, and paint) and instruction for $35. Please register here if you would like to work with Moni.
