Due to the COVID-19 virus and construction of the Harrison McCain Pavilion, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery is currently closed to all visitors and other groups.

A world-class collection meets the tranquility of the Maritimes at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton – explore outstanding art and exhibitions from an international collection, without the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Centrally located on the banks of the Saint John River and across the street from the Provincial Legislature, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery provides an ideal venue to experience an international art collection featuring works by renowned and rising artists alike.

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery presents contemporary and historical exhibitions giving focus to the art and visual culture of New Brunswick and the Atlantic region, as well as of Canada and internationally, reflecting the particular strengths of the permanent collection. The gallery provides a forum for the art of the province’s First Nations and Acadian communities. Along with organizing and circulating exhibitions, including curated presentations of the permanent collection, the Gallery also hosts exhibitions on loan from other institutions.

Exhibitions are changed multiple times per year, providing a wide variety of art works and the opportunity to see new works upon repeat visits. Each exhibition season typically includes a mix of traditional and contemporary, permanent collection and visiting works, and a variety of media.

Services include guided tours (booked in advance); art camps and programs for children, teens, adults, and families; lectures and educational programming; a gallery shop featuring reproductions from the collection and locally-sourced fine craft; gallery space rental for events; and much more.

The Gallery may be closed to visitors for the time being but they are still available virtually. Our exhibitions, programming, and digital teams have been hard at work finding new ways to bring the Gallery to you at home!

This award-winning  venue is a favourite stop for touring artists and also provides a stage for local professional and amateur productions.

BOOKS!  As far as the eye can see!  It’s a must stop for you and the whole family!

The Fredericton Region Museum is a gateway into the exciting history and diverse heritage of central New Brunswick. The areas of York and Sunbury counties have served as meeting places for Aboriginals, Loyalists, Acadians, and various other settlers for centuries.

With over 4,000 square feet of exhibit space, a dozen galleries, hundreds of objects on display, and exhibits changing every year, the museum is a fun and exciting way to look into our past.

The Fredericton Region Museum is the home of the famous Coleman Frog, the world’s largest frog! He is the 42 pound wonder that lived in Killarney Lake, just north of Fredericton, over 100 years ago. The Museum is also home to one of the oldest known artefacts in New Brunswick, a Clovis Point!

The Fredericton Region Museum (formerly the York Sunbury Museum) was founded in 1934 by the York-Sunbury Historical Society, Ltd. The Society was formed in 1932 and now has members from all over North America, however, most are from central New Brunswick. In 1959, the Museum found permanent headquarters in the Officers’ Quarters (571 Queen Street) in the heart of downtown Fredericton.

The Society and Museum remain a non-profit enterprise with a small paid staff and numerous volunteers, who do a wonderful job displaying our history. They work tirelessly to create informative exhibits based on the history of Fredericton and surrounding areas, organize programs and events as well as publish a local history periodical, “The Officers’ Quarters”.

New Brunswick College of Craft and Design is the only one of its kind in Canada that focuses entirely on fine crafts and design. They’ve done this since 1938.

In 2010 they became an arts college independent of New Brunswick’s community college system, with their own administration and educational pathways. And their own future.

At the same time, they’ve also been designated a centre of excellence in the arts, expanding into a newly-renovated Soldier’s Barracks next door.

Students benefit from small class sizes, professional studios and labs, an extensive library, and some of the best faculty in the world of crafts and design.
