Advanced Studio Practice Guest Lecture Series

NBCCD Guest Lecture Series: Kristyn Cooper 🎙

December 1, 2022 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

THURSDAYS, 12 PM-1 PM ADT TIME ZONE (GMT-3)

December 1st: Kristyn Cooper

This year, Advanced Studio Practice’s Guest Lecture Series is partnering with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to celebrate local artisans.

Advanced Studio Practice Guest Lecture Series

Hosted every Thursday from 12pm to 1pm, guest speakers will deliver an hour-long lecture, speaking to their practice, process, and life as a working artist.

The Guest Lecture Series models successful contemporary practice to NBCCD students. It informs, inspires, and ignites art and design dialogue and engagement within the local arts community. 

The ASP Guest Lecture Series is hosted by the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design’s Advanced Studio Practice certificate program each year and is organized, in part, by its students, as well as being part of the program’s curriculum. It brings artists from across New Brunswick to speak to NBCCD students and the greater public.

Advanced Studio Practice students focus on self-directed studio work, in addition to implementing a professional career plan through networking, mentorship, pop-up shows, exhibitions, wholesale opportunities, and more. Students will acquire business skills and enhanced studio practice to launch into self-employment or a successful career in the creative cultural sector.

In 2022, the guest lectures will return to an in-person format allowing the community to gather and engage. Those who attend the lecture will gain free access to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and its collections afterwards.

The ASP Guest Lecture Series focuses on New Brunswick and provides:

  • A platform for the presentation and advancement of professional artists, designers, and fine craft practitioners.
  • A time for dialogue about ideas and opportunities in the fields of contemporary practice.
  • A celebration of creative and cultural riches that we hold in Atlantic Canada.

These noon-hour sessions celebrate the creative, cultural, and academic achievements of artists, designers, and fine craft practitioners.

M. Gros

M. Gros 🚔

November 11, 2022 @ 4:00 pm 6:00 pm

M. Gros by Geneviève & Matthieu

November 11 to December 18, 2022 at the Galerie d’art Louise-et-Reuben-Cohen

M. Gros

Opening: November 11, 4 – 6 p.m.

Performance as of 4:30 p.m. | Performance collaboration: Stefan St-Laurent

Artist talk (in French): November 12, 9 :30 – 11 :30 a.m. Dieppe Arts and Culture Centre.

Geneviève & Matthieu’s installation-performance M. Gros is inspired by the Canadian investigative technique known as Mr. Big, which allows a police officer, undercover, to obtain a confession from a suspect of a serious unsolved crime. Led by shape-shifting characters, living sculptures, binomial weapons and a televisual sound environment, M. Gros tackles issues of identity such as surveillance, infiltration, idea theft and copying; but beyond the classics of investigative games, the story mostly stages a contemporary artistic flora.

The duo Geneviève & Matthieu, from Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, emerged in the late 1990s. Their work combines art, performance, music, and daily life. Using interdisciplinary practices, from happening to music composition and from performance to installation, this duo creates collective performances and stagings of sometimes festive but always human social scenes.

This project is presented as part of the Media Arts component of the Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie (VAM-FICFA). The exhibition will be on view from November 11 to December 18, 2022. Opening hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

Habitat Narratives in the AX Gallery July 28 – October 1, 2022
Artist Talk: Saturday, September 3, at 2:00 p.m. in the AX Gallery

Seldom Seen by Theresa MacKnight
Seldom Seen by Theresa MacKnight, 2022. Oil on wood.

AX is pleased to welcome artist Theresa MacKnight to the gallery with our newest exhibition, Habitat NarrativesHabitat Narratives draws inspiration from New Brunswick habitats and the animals that must continuously adapt, regardless of humans’ intentions or wishes.

Theresa’s work is based on nighttime footage of deer from trail cameras, capturing their interactions as they gather in small groups. The black-and-white trail cameras gave Theresa the freedom to use colour in imaginative ways to add to the story in the paintings. Some of Theresa’s paintings include human figures, which also adds to the narrative and creates a sense of dreamlike mystery.

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.


Join us in the AX gallery on Saturday, September 3, at 2:00 p.m. for an artist talk featuring Theresa MacKnight. Theresa will discuss her work and take questions from attendees. Admission is free and no registration is required.

Artist talk by Emily Phillips

Emily Phillips Artist Talk☘

June 25, 2022 @ 1:00 pm 3:00 pm

SJAC invites you to join us as we welcome artist Emily Phillips to present a free artist talk on her exhibit, ‘Into the Fundy Forest’, currently showing in our Port Saint John Gallery!

Emily's painting of a waterfall
Meet the Artist: Emily Phillips  |  Saturday, June 25, 2022, 1pm  |  Free!  |  Please note: face masks are required

Emily’s artistic statement: My artistic inspiration comes from nature’s ability to affect the spirit. The beauty, drama, and diversity of the lands of New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy region move me to capture my feelings and sensations in paint.  When hiking, I am highly sensitive to the shifting of light, interaction of colours, arrangement of shapes, and variety of textures, particularly as these elements relate to the architecture of the forest.  I continue to experiment with new ways to represent this depth of experience as my artistic practice evolves, manipulating style, media and other art and design elements.  Through my paintings, I aim to evoke in my audiences the same attachments I feel to these places, along with an appreciation for their intrinsic value.
