Welcome to ArtWorks East

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!

This event is free and no pre-registration needed, we hope to see you there!

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

Plein air refers to open air painting, on site, in contrast to painting in a studio from memory or a photograph. 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 colourful Guysborough waterfront.
This setting includes the historic buildings along the marina, the marina wharfs and boats, and the beautiful harbour.
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.
