Newness

2026 Craft Nova Scotia Members' Exhibition

This upcoming members’ exhibition is exploring the theme of “newness.” It considers beginnings, renewal, experimentation, and transformation—whether through material, process, concept, or personal practice. Newness may be literal or abstract: a shift in direction, a first attempt, a reinvention, or a response to changing contexts.
