Our take on the kinda chic trend!

It feels more important than ever to support local Nova Scotia artists in our communities.

Our artists help shape the culture and stories of our province. Invest in the local creative people and businesses across the Annapolis Valley and Nova Scotia!

Every purchase, visit & share of support makes a difference.

Thank you to all of our artists! taken in Harvest Gallery by @marla.benton

Flora, the studio pup, loves the smell of clay as much as I do……but she wasn’t as productive as I was today!

Tomorrow! Thursday July 16th from 1-3pm at the Centreville Concrete House, join us for a ceramic workshop with Marla Benton

Make your own ceramic ornament! $10 per person. Please note, as these ornaments need to be fired, you will not be able to take the home the same day.

Marla Benton is a ceramic artist and educator based in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. Her practice spans both studio-based work and large scale community projects, with a strong emphasis on creating interactive art that invites personal connection. Through her gallery pieces and installations, Benton integrates text and unexpected elements that challenge conventions, evoke curiosity, and encourage active participation.

Benton’s exhibit What’s Hidden in the Shadows is on display until the end of the month in the Hazelwood gallery at the Concrete House. Be sure to stop by!

My vases filled with gorgeous bouquets from @svenja_dee Tulipwood, in Lunenburg. The flowers always seem to complete the art piece. 🩷🌺🩷

This piece is so long, I can’t fit the whole image on to the reel. But this gives you a little bigger view and varied sounds. by @marla.benton

ART OPENING - What's Hidden in the Shadows

Tomorrow, July 5th, from 1-3 will be the opening of What's Hidden in the Shadows, a collection of ceramic sculptures by Marla Benton. Free to attend, refreshments provided.

This collection explores the delicate interplay between form, light, and shadow through a series of porcelain tile installations. Suspended like curtains from rods and lit with intention, each piece invites the viewer to not only see, but to truly perceive the spaces in between. taken in Charles Macdonald Concrete House Museum by @marla.benton
