Alan Syliboy Art Exhibit
Join us for this very special exhibit featuring renowned Nova Scotia artist Alan Syliboy being held at the new Pugwash Library.
Syliboy is best known for his striking, colourful paintings, which often feature symbolic shapes and patterns that represent Mi’kmaq legends and stories.
His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across Canada and the United States, and he has received numerous awards for his contributions to the arts.
Event details to be announced soon.
Paint The Park
We’re thrilled to showcase the talents of local plein air artists as they create beautiful works of art throughout Eaton Park.
Festival goers will have the unique opportunity to observe these artists in action, and ask questions about their creative process.
As you stroll through you’ll see the works evolving and taking shape. Watch as they capture the beauty of the natural surroundings or personal inspirations while bringing them to life on their canvases.
July 29th | 10am until 4pm | Eaton Park
Peace Hall Art Show and Sale
The action doesn’t end there! Artists participating in Paint the Park will have previously created art works exhibited at the Peace Hall Art Show and Sale.
You’ll be able to admire them up close and if you fall in love with a particular piece, there is an opportunity to purchase it and take it home with you.
Later in the day, the plein air art created during the day will be auctioned on the Harbourfront Stage in Eaton Park. The funds raised will support future art initiatives and events at Harbourfest.

Art on The Line
This is a wonderful opportunity to get creative and make some art.
Our Art On The Line tent, located at Eaton Park, (behind Montys in the parking lot) will be stocked with all the creative supplies you’ll need to make your very own masterpiece.
Everyone is invited to participate by creating small works of art that can be hung to dry and displayed on clothes lines. Art work can be taken home as a souvenir or left to decorate the park for the day.
