Every year, the Owens Art Gallery presents the work of students graduating from the Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts at Mount Allison University. Featuring a wide range of work in a variety of media, this exhibition celebrates the artistic development of each student and considers it in relation to the collective journey of the whole class.
The Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts is focused on the research, creation, histories, and practices of the visual arts. Study in the School is led by practicing artists and art historians in courses designed and coordinated to establish a strong foundation in all facets of the visual arts. The School’s curriculum provides a rigorous, student-centred learning environment that balances intellectual with applied approaches, engaging students in the critical and reflective exploration of contemporary society, communities, and cultures. Research and creation in the visual arts is integral to the development and expression of cultural identities that can both reflect and challenge the values and norms of our pluralistic society.

"The Glass Menagerie" presented by Marshlight Theatre Company
2025-05-10 14:00 - 16:00 | 3 Fairfield Rd
Marshlight Theatre is thrilled to present The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams as the final production of their inaugural season.

This classic of the modern theatre premiered on Broadway eighty years ago. The play was Williams’ first big success and won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award as Best American Play in 1945. It has subsequently been performed around the world and adapted for film, radio and television.

This moving play is a memory piece told from the point of view of Tom Wingfield who shares the story of his mother, a faded southern belle who lives in the past; his painfully shy sister; and a gentleman caller who offers a glimmer of hope to the two women.

The show is being directed by Charlie Rhindress who was a co-founder of Sackville’s Live Bait Theatre and helped run that company for close to twenty years. Rhindress then went on to work as Associate Artist at Neptune Theatre and as Artistic Producer of Halifax’s Eastern Front Theatre. He most recently directed Aloria Mae, Scape and We’re Still Here for Live Bait.

The cast is led by Heather Macintyre who has acted for Live Bait and Neptune Theatre among other companies. She is probably best known locally as Grandma in a series of incredibly successful dinner theatres. Emily Atkinson, Ben Blue, and Morgan Grant round out the cast. All three are very talented local actors who have appeared in multiple shows with Live Bait, the Performer’s Company and Marshlight Theatre.

The Glass Menagerie plays at the Marshlight space on Fairfield Road in Sackville, NB with shows Friday through Sunday evening and Saturday matinees, May 2-11. For tickets or more information please visit marshlight.ca.

Celebrating 130 Years of Art at the Owens Art Gallery
2025-05-28 05:00 - 19:00 | Owens Art Gallery, 61 York Street, Sackville, E4L 1E2, Canada
On May 28, 2025, the Owens Art Gallery turns 130! Since, for reasons we shall not mention, we missed our quasquicentennial in 2020, please join us this year to celebrate 130 years of the Owens as a place for connecting with art and artists.
Since its official opening on May 28, 1895, the Owens has played a central role in the cultural life of Mount Allison University and is the oldest university art gallery in Canada. The gallery was originally built to accommodate the teaching of fine arts at the Mount Allison Ladies’ College and to house a collection of approximately 300 works of art and statuary acquired by Mount Allison in 1893. The collection has now grown to about 4,000 works spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
Today, the Owens serves as the university art gallery for Mount Allison University and the public art gallery and museum for the Municipality of Tantramar. The Gallery has a long association with the education of women artists and continues to explore this important history through its exhibitions, research, publishing, education and community outreach, and the development of the Collection. As a teaching museum, it is also a training ground for the next generation of museum professionals in Canada.
To mark this important milestone, come enjoy a slice of cake and immerse yourself in two new exhibitions—the famous Salon Hanging and Jon Sasaki: Homage—as we celebrate our past and look forward to our future!
