Open each summer, local folks and visitors from around the world drop to meet the artists and purchase unique art. The ARTISTS CIRCLE is a group of contemporary artists living and working in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Beginning about 1980, several artists in the Greenwood and Kingston area got together to paint, promote their paintings and create an informal association of painters. In 1
991 several of our Margaretsville members explored the possibility of using a vacant fish house on the Bay of Fundy in the town of Margaretsville as an art studio and a place to exhibit and sell paintings. One of these members was Edna Morley whose husband Carl owned the building. Starting on a small scale, renovating the building into a studio/gallery, and gradually adding new items, we finally developed a system of management that saw increasing sales each successive year. In addition there are cards, prints (framed and unframed), and numerous other works on exhibit and for sale.
