The Art Shack Gallery

The Art Shack Gallery The ART SHACK GALLERY has been in Margaretsville for over 33 years, run by the ARTISTS CIRCLE of ANNAPOLIS VALLEY, an artist cooperative.

Open each summer, local folks and visitors from around the world drop to meet the artists and purchase unique art. The ARTISTS CIRCLE is a group of contemporary artists living and working in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Beginning about 1980, several artists in the Greenwood and Kingston area got together to paint, promote their paintings and create an informal association of painters. In 1

991 several of our Margaretsville members explored the possibility of using a vacant fish house on the Bay of Fundy in the town of Margaretsville as an art studio and a place to exhibit and sell paintings. One of these members was Edna Morley whose husband Carl owned the building. Starting on a small scale, renovating the building into a studio/gallery, and gradually adding new items, we finally developed a system of management that saw increasing sales each successive year. In addition there are cards, prints (framed and unframed), and numerous other works on exhibit and for sale.

Wednesday Weekly - Meet Shirley Collins, a new member of The Artists' Circle of Annapolis Valley. Much of Shirley's artistic life involved her love of drawing. Much later, she found joy working in charcoal, pastels, coloured pencils, alcohol markers and pen/watercolour. Shown here is a recent piece she created using watercolour, coloured pencil and solvent to create a bokeh effect in background. Welcome to the group Shirley!

Wednesday Weekly - featuring another of our talented artists - Delaine Carlson. New to the Artists' Circle and The Art Shack Gallery, she's certainly not new to art. From a young age, she saw her world as an artist appreciating the beauty of her surroundings in a rural Nova Scotia. As many of us in our group, she is self taught and has experimented in many mediums. Be sure to stop in this summer at The Art Shack Gallery in Margaretsville to see Delaine's and 15 other artists!
