Inspired by the Coast
See Pictou County on Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore through the eyes of local artists.
A Landscape of Inspiration
The Colours of Our Home
Pictou County’s colours leave a mark, from the deep blue of the Northumberland Strait to forest greens and the red earth locals know well. Those landscapes, and the small-town life around them, have inspired generations of artists and makers.
Step into local galleries, studios, and art co-ops to find photography, pottery, painting, and sculpture rooted in this place. These pieces are more than decor. They are a way to bring home a real connection to the community and the people who create here.

Pro Tip
A Stroll Through Culture
Many of our best galleries are located in the walkable downtown districts of Pictou and New Glasgow. We recommend parking the car and taking a slow stroll along the waterfront. Keep an eye out for murals, pop-up exhibits during the New Glasgow Farmers’ Market, and the seasonal galleries that open their doors as the summer sun warms the shore.
