Parrsboro Creative

The vision of Parrsboro Creative is to create a vibrant artist and artisan community that will spearhead the rejuvenation and re-population of Parrsboro. Formally organized in 2013, the Parrsboro Creative Arts Association was an initiative by a group of concerned citizens to revitalize the former Town of Parrsboro and turn back years of slow decline due to the cumulative effects of lost economic drivers resulting from centralization, globalization and the resulting depopulation of rural communities. The establishment of a vital multi-disciplinary arts community is seen as the key to the development of a vibrant cultural economy. Parrsboro Creative became a registered non-profit organization in 2015 and operates year-round with the fundamental focus on- Our annual Parrsboro International Plein Air Festival, drawing the best of North America’s plein air painters to the Minas Basin and Bay of Fundy- Our Cultural Campus offering a curriculum in a unique range of cultural disciplines from fine art and craft to music, theatre and the written word. Other programs and initiatives include- Artist-in-Residence Program - Artist Attraction Program - Pop-Up Art Fair Series - Featured Artist Profiles - Cumberland Art Bank - Art Therapy Series Our office is open Monday to Friday, 10 AM - 5 PM ADT.(902) 728-2007 info@parrsborocreative.com
