Atlantic Vernacular

A collaborative effort, 30 artists and 30 poets from across the country gathered to connect, collaborate to create, in an alchemic fashion masterworks that embody the diverse cultural and ecological identities of our region. The online exhibition will tour digitally for the 2022 year before coming to a close in 2023.

We are delighted to see Atlantic Vernacular to it’s full fruition. The past few years have been tough, but the peoples of Atlantic Canada are tougher.
