The Fundy Discovery Aquarium has a beautiful art exhibition space located just outside of the Dunn Theatre. This gallery provides us with an exceptional opportunity to showcase prints that highlight the intersection where science meets art.

 

• We signed a MOU with Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs (Westwood, MA) in August 2021 to display Bow Seat youth art submissions within the Fundy Discovery Aquarium Art Gallery for at least one month during our open season each year. The exhibit is coupled with a silent auction fundraiser to support our respective ocean education, inspiration and conservation efforts while allowing our guests to take their favorite prints home. Bow Seat was created to uplift diverse youth voices through programming, art exhibitions, publications, and scholarships that advance dialogue and participation in ocean conservation. Each year, Bow Seat invites youth from around the world to participate in its Ocean Awareness Contest and creatively explore human impacts on the health of our oceans through visual and performing arts, writing, film, and multimedia.

 

• Each August we celebrate the activities and accomplishments of The Huntsman Marine Science Centre, including an exhibit within the Art Gallery. This exhibit often showcases scientific illustrations that were prepared for the authoritative Atlantic Fishes of Canada book written by Dr. Bev & Millie Scott while employed at Huntsman Marine. We also use this exhibit for story telling as we communicate our past achievements and present education & research activities.
