October 2026 - Two Different Themes!
New Brunswick in the Fall
Pet portraits
New Brunswick in the Fall:
What could be more beautiful than New Brunswick in the Fall! I mean REALLY! New Brunswick is often nicknamed the "Picture Province," for a reason. This province is renowned for its scenic beauty, featuring dramatic coastlines, lush forests and the world’s highest tides in the Bay of Fundy.
We will be showcasing some beautiful landscape paintings of local scenes by local artists that are sure to impress.
Pet Portraits:
If you’ve ever considered having a portrait done of your furry friend October is your chance to pick and choose the style of artwork you would like your pet portrait done in.
The Shediac Art Gallery will exhibit a selection of pet portraits to help promote our many talented local artists that do commissions in this genre. The gallery will connect you with the artist who’s style you prefer, and then the artist will work with you directly to create that perfect portrait for you. We have artists that work in all mediums for this exhibition. It should be fabulous. Guaranteed to touch your heart!

November 2026 - Two Different Themes!
Close Encounters of an Abstract Kind! (in main showroom)
5 × 7 Show (many themes, all the same size - in showroom 2)
Abstract art is a genre of visual arts that moves away from realistic representation of the physical world to embrace in the language of shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to create meaning and evoke emotion. So why not dedicate an entire month to exhibit this art genre for all to see!
We have many local artists that express their artistic skills within the abstract genre. Their art focuses more on the artist's inner experience, ideas and movement with art media, rather than being limited by the formal elements of the literal subject. It gives viewers the freedom to interpret the artwork based on their own feelings and perspectives.
This should be a very interesting exhibit that leans into the inner thoughts and emotions of the artist itself.
Also on exhibition, an exhibition of the same sized paintings. Because after all, great things come in small canvases! We hope you enjoy this exhibition.
The Gallery will host a reception on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 5:00pm - 7:00pm where you can meet some of the artists. All are welcome
Exhibition Runs November 4 - November 29, 2026
In conjunction with the above exhibition, the Shediac Art Gallery will also be highlighting a “Featured Artist of the month”. Known for her detailed contemporary style, we welcome artist Malcah Sussman in showroom 3 showcasing some of her paintings.
This exhibition will include a variety of styles and subject matters from our local maritime artists. The one thing they will all have in common though will be that they are all square shaped, and all the same size: 12” x 12” (30cm x 30cm). As we get ready for Christmas, a small(ish) piece of art for a loved one might be just the right thing! Come browse this exhibition in this fun size!
