Atlantic Vernacular

Atlantic Vernacular is an online exhibition of contemporary craft paired with poetry of Atlantic Canada. Voices of the region include those of our first nations, and multiple mother tongues represented by participating artists and poets. This region is a den of material experimentation, integration of work with one’s environment, and honest confrontation with the challenges of making work in a conservative region of the country. After artworks were selected for exhibition, regional poets were invited to interpret the works through their own medium of verse.
