Beneath the Surface | New Blog Post
At the start of October, we spent an amazing week in Fundy National Park with our Beneath the Surface participants, and curator Vicky Lentz. It was an unbelieveable experience, and such a treat to see the artists soak in all the inspiration that Fundy has to offer. In the coming months they will create work to be installed in Fundy National Park, and we just can’t wait to see what they each come up with!
We just posted a blog about the whole experience. Check it out below!

This month we are featuring our board treasurer – Tracey O’Brien!
Tracey O’Brien is a Fredericton, NB based textile artist. From a young age, Tracey was drawn to textiles. though, it wasn’t until later in life that she decided to return to school to pursue her passion and in 2020 she graduated from the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design’s Textile Design program.
Since then, she has become a juried member of Craft NB. Some of the galleries her work has been exhibited at include Gallery 78, UNB Art Centre, and the Charlotte Street Art Centre. She has also participated in numerous artist residencies, including Kings Landing, Fredericton Botanic Gardens, and Fredericton Arts Alliance.
Tracey is also active in the local arts community and is a member of the Fibre Arts Network, the Connexion Artist Run Centre and serves on the board of Craft NB.
