Visual Arts Nova Scotia is approaching its’ 40th year of providing advocacy and support for artists practicing in Nova Scotia. As President this past year, I have had the privilege of participating in navigating new growth and change for the governance model for the Board. Important to this has been laying the ground for how we work together and maintain active participation. A core value as we proceed, has been attention to how we engage the full diversity of the artists we represent in Nova Scotia. This is no small task as we are all aware artists in this province include a wide range of artistic practices, mediums, educational backgrounds, culture, ages and place of residence.

Sera Senakovicz grew up in British Columbia and moved to Nova Scotia in 2005. Since graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design she has been making prints wherever and however she can. She has been a recipient of two creation grants from ARTS Nova Scotia to help her to attend a residency at Spark Box Studios and to make a new body of work for a solo exhibition at Parentheses Gallery this past February. She is interested in oral histories of neighbourhoods and buildings and how lives are lived within and around them.
To further develop critical art writing in this region, Visual Arts News will host a Writer-in-Residence in partnership with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (AGNS). The residency will be open to emerging critical writers for a 4-month residency/internship and is designed to help develop and promote the work of emerging art critics.
