Join us for curator and artist Brandt Eisner!

Emerging artists are invited to register for an afternoon with curator Brandt Eisner. This will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how the gallery world works and the basics of how to move forward with your art career. There are no silly questions!

A few topics we’ll discuss are connecting with galleries and relationships with owners, what does gallery representation look like, finding opportunities to show outside traditional commercial galleries, pricing your work, presenting your work professionally, promoting your work, professionalism, and the importance of critical thinking.

Brandt has been curating exhibits for over 20 years. Originally the founder of Swoon Gallery, Brandt is now the curator of shows across Nova Scotia as well as the permanent curator for the Ice House Gallery. With a wealth of experience in presenting, submitting, and organizing, Brandt’s knowledge will be on the table to help all attending emerging artists!

At the Ice House Gallery and Grace Arts Centre, we know finances can be a barrier to accessing creative programs and workshops. With the help and support of Canada's Federal Government through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we are happy to provide a grant to cover the cost of any workshop coming up in the 2022 year. Should you wish to participate, but face a barrier in covering the cost, please reach out confidentially to our manager, Marshall Feit, who will quickly arrange access to the workshop!

Any youth who wish to volunteer with running the workshop (1-2 individuals per workshop), we will be compensating them with TataBucks! These are coupons that can be redeemed for cash at our Tatamagouche Farmers' Market! If you have a young person who would like to volunteer (12-18), reach out to us to arrange a schedule to volunteer!

Any further questions or concerns can be forwarded to Marshall Feit at the Grace Arts Centre at (902) 657 3500, or by email at arts@creamerysquare.ca.
