The Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing

The Craig Gallery provides an important opportunity for amateur and established artists to display their works. Painters, sculptors, and interactive multi-media artists have exhibited their works in the Gallery to date. Future plans for the Gallery include programs for children providing education and exposure to the world of visual art. We believe that Alderney Landing is an important component in the development and overall enhancement of the visual arts in our community.

The Craig Foundation for the Visual and Performing Arts

Founded by Jack and Joan Craig, this private family foundation supports the visual and performing arts in Nova Scotia. As long time philanthropists, Mr. and Mrs. Craig have contributed to a number of local and provincial organizations with emphasis on the visual and performing arts. The Craig Foundation has contributed significantly to Alderney Landing's Capital Campaign and in recognition of their donation; Alderney Landing's Art Gallery is designated in their honour.

Volunteering

The Craig Gallery is staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers, some of whom belong to the Dartmouth Visual Arts Society. Each volunteer dedicates two 3-hour shifts or more per month. The Craig Gallery Volunteer duties include sitting in the Gallery during opening hours, answering questions and discussing the current exhibits with gallery guests, and opening and closing the Gallery. Becoming a Craig Gallery Volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to see a wide variety of art, meet new people, and help support the arts in Dartmouth.
