art lab studios & gallery

Art Lab is a brilliant idea brought to life by truly dedicated artists that promotes art in all its forms, while providing a creative learning environment for beginners to exercise their talents through a multitude of workshops open to the young and young at heart. All while literally a stones throw from the world's highest tides nestled in the centre of Parrsboro, NS - the creative community with a heart!

Just stumbled on this new studio/gallery when I was in Parrsboro for the weekend. What a great concept. Very welcoming atmosphere. Nice open space with kind of funky decor - old doors and windows, exposed beams. Amazing view of the harbour. You can see artists working and chat with them about how they go from idea to sketch to finished painting or what kind of paint they use to paint a clay sculpture, etc. I used to draw back in school and talking with some of the artists got me excited to pick it up again. Lots of different stuff there, not just paintings. They give all kinds of workshops too. I can see going back later in the fall to take in the fall colours and maybe take a workshop one afternoon.
