Artisans, Creators, Makers & Galleries

There must be something in the great Atlantic water that brushes up against our coast – for it conjures up such an incredible wave of creativity here along Nova Scotia’s South Shore.

Indeed inspiration is everywhere, so it’s no surprise that artists, artisans, creators and makers of every discipline call this place home and share their life’s work with all who arrive to appreciate it.

From candles and tea, paintings and pottery to furniture and fibre arts and so much more – you’re sure to marvel at their magical creations. You’ll find the complete list of our artists, artisans, creators, makers and galleries below.

We can’t wait to see what treasures you’ll discover so be sure to tag us when you share. #NovaScotiasSouthShore
