Upcoming Patenaude Family Gallery
Unfortunately, due to current circumstances with COVID 19 The Station Arts Centre is sadly announcing the postponement of our next exhibit with artists Barbara Scott and Tabitha Verbuyst.
​
We know these fantastic artists worked incredibly hard to show you their stunning pieces and we hope to have them rescheduled in as soon as possible. Barbara will stun you with her immense hanging 3 dimensional fibre art, while Tabitha's work will have you exploring the colourful obscurity of rainy landscapes. Keep your eyes peeled for the reschedule date!
​
In the meantime, please Tabitha's website to see some of her work at
Barbara unfortunately doesn't have a website right now, but any inquiries about her 3 dimensional work can be sent to and passed along to the artist!
​
We ask you as our wonderful community, to continue to support local artists and small businesses during this difficult time, even just a simple share and like of their work/wares goes a long way!
