A Public Collection owned by The Municipality of the County of Cumberland
The Cumberland Art Bank was established in 2017 to build an art collection representing the best visual expression of Cumberland County. The aim is to encourage artistic creation in this region, stimulate public interest in the visual arts, and raise awareness of Cumberland County artists and their work.
The collection resides in Parrsboro and is available for exhibition throughout Cumberland County.
In 2017, Joy Laking’s ‘Parrsboro Starry Night’ was selected, followed by Susan Paterson’s ‘Parrsboro Reflection’ in 2018 and Chris Gorey’s ‘Back Street Advocate’ in 2019. All are on display in the new Parrsboro Service Centre at 209 Main Street while the editioned prints are available for purchase through Parrsboro Creative.
The CAB is made possible through the sale of limited-edition prints of the collection and by donation.
