We would like to thank the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage for supporting our strategic planning weekend. This plan was approved by our current Board of Governors in November, 2022.

The Values of Visual Arts Nova Scotia... Equity, Sustainability, Connection:

Cinthia, our amazing Programming Coordinator, will be managing our social media going forward, which means she will be staying on as a contractor after Carrie returns from her parental leave. Enjoy this photo of the team (from left to right: Benny, Emily, Cinthia, and Andrea).

It's Emily, our Social Media Coordinator, who has been working behind the screen . I'm sad to announce I will be leaving my position at VANS and Visual Arts News at the end of the year to further develop my work in the local food movement and pursue other creative projects (cont)

I've loved my time working with the artists in our community, and getting to know the fabulous and passionate VANS team. I'll be sharing a bit of my practice this weekend on our Instagram, and I would love to stay connected! (cont)
