Struts Gallery

Struts Gallery An Artist Run Centre Established in 1980, the centre later incorporated media arts production facilities, providing training and specialized equipment.

Struts Gallery is an artist-run centre dedicated to presenting contemporary art to the public through exhibitions, artist residencies, screenings, workshops, talks and performances. Struts Gallery is located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Wolastoquyik (Maliseet) peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Wolastoqiyik/Wәlastәkwiy

ik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik/Wәlastәkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We acknowledge, honour, and pay respect to the traditional owners and custodians of this land.

Living is Easy | May 26- June 13th

Welcome Alana Morouney as our next Living is Easy Members’ Project artist!

“What do I need to have a good life?”

“What do I need to be an artist?”

Alana Morouney will be asking these questions during her Living is Easy residence/performance Bad Behaviour Under Capitalism at Struts May 26th to June 13th.  

Alana will be taking sheep’s wool from Jolicure and Alpaca fleece from Petit-Cap through all the steps from raw fibre into a knit sweater. Come drop in to see the carding, spinning, plying, and machine and hand knitting processes as they happen. While the tools Alana will be using might look old and “of a lost art”, all of the clothes we wear today are still made by people using similar processes, making clothing and textiles one of the most political everyday choices we make! 

Drop by to chat, enjoy some gluten free baking (courtesy of the artist) and fill out your very own manifesto. Keep an autonomous copy for the wall, and bring one home as a reminder of what you need to be happy in this one short and beautiful life.

💞 Support our friends at Struts Gallery and their Building Fund to renovate 7 Lorne Street, an essential space for artists and community in Sackville.

For decades Struts Gallery has offered renowned programming opportunities and resources to local, regional, and national artists, alongside a dynamic schedule of engaging events for audiences and participants. In 2018, Struts achieved the significant milestone of purchasing their home at 7 Lorne Street. Built in 1912, the historic building is now in urgent need of renovations.

Our friends at Struts Gallery are seeking your support toward their Building Fund, with the goal of raising $75,000. Your contributions will allow them to match Provincial funding to conduct essential work on the roof, balcony, and masonry of the building.

One way you can contribute to the Building Fund is by purchasing a limited edition fundraising print by Moncton artist Natt Cann. Printed by hand in his Moncton studio, the Struts edition is part of his popular Neighbours series, a whimsical look at homes and historic properties within New Brunswick. The Owens has just acquired one for the collection, and we are thrilled about it!

Prints are available for $350 at Struts and through their online shop (shipping included). What a deal!

Want to learn how to use video cameras used in professional film productions? This is the perfect workshop for you!

Introducing our brand-new Black Magic Pyxis 12K, an advanced digital film camera. From documentaries and short films to high-end productions with video compositing and even Hollywood movies, the Pyxis 12k is a versatile cinema camera that’s perfect for those looking to learn how to shoot with professional grade videography gear or those wanting to step up their video skills.

In this ADHOC Workshop, Production Manager Lucas Morneau will go through all the cameras features and settings, explaining in detail how each setting affects operation. Finally, attendees will get hands-on experience with the camera in a variety of scenarios around Waterfowl Park.

Struts Gallery would like to thank the Municipality of Tantramar for supporting the acquisition of this camera through the Tantramar Small Capital Grant. We would also like to thank the Canada Council for the Arts for their continuous support.

We are happy to welcome our new Summer Open Studio Coordinator Déja Defilippis! Déja will be assisting with tasks around Struts until August. We’ve already got her on spring cleaning preparing for a summer of artists residences, living is easy, and of course the well beloved summer BBQ.

Déja (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist originally from Toronto and Whitchurch-Stouffville. A third year Fine Arts student at Mount Allison University focusing on sculpture, photography, and printmaking, her work explores themes of place, familial histories, and relationships to community. They also do a pretty good loon call on occasion:)

This Internship opportunity is supported by and Venture for Canada.

Living is Easy | May 5 – May 19 

Struts Gallery is happy to welcome artist Shoshanna Wingate as the first participant in our 2026 Living is Easy Members’ Projects.

Shoshanna is a poet & memoirist, textile artist, and jeweler living in Mi’kma’ki (Sackville, NB). She runs Swamp Punk with her son, Seth, selling refashioned thrifted finds and upcycled items using bleach, stitch, paint, and vintage pieces. Her art & writing are rooted in a vision of re-storying the future through joy, whimsy, repurpose, radical hope, and climate change action.  

Through her varied arts practice, she is an award-winning poet and author of Radio Weather (Vehicule Press), co-founder of Riddle Fence, an arts & culture journal, and in 2023 was an Artist-in-Residence with the Conservation Council of NB.

Soshanna will explore mark making on fabric, using text, stitch, and printing using reclaimed fabrics. Through the exploration of colour, design, and texture, she will create small images that can be stitched together like a story quilt.
