Beneath the Surface 2022-23

Beneath the Surface is a celebration of art and nature colliding. To honour the place where it all began, for this iteration of the biennial exhibition, Craft NB and Fundy National Park embarked upon the journey of creating an outdoor exhibition to share the stories of 20 incredible Maritime artists. While being immersed in the natural landscape of Fundy National Park for a week of programming in Fall of 2022, the 20 artists took part in learning, reflection, and knowledge sharing on the scientific processes that shape and change the natural world and the rich cultural history of the Bay of Fundy. The artists then took the winter months to return to their respective studios to develop installation-based work inspired by their experiences. Now their work tells their stories in the park. As their artwork interacts with the Fundy ecosystem, the public is invited to connect with and experience the importance of preserving and protecting natural spaces, and the role art can play in creating a deeper connection with the environment.
