Façade
Facelift
Fundraiser

If you’ve seen us in town, you’ve likely noticed the wooden structure in front of our building! Well, what’s going on? Struts Gallery is undergoing a major facelift.

We are renovating the front-facing wall of Struts Gallery. The first phase includes brick-repointing using heritage methods, restoring the window to the historic Tingley Bros & Duncan storefront look and installing an accessible front door in the iconic yellow that we all know and love.

Why are we renovating? Our engineering consultants Heritage Standing Inc. identified that our front wall was degrading rapidly and in need of immediate intervention to protect and stabilize it. Engineered shoring was installed in June 2026 and permanent repairs begin on September 21, 2026. This phase of work will cost us about $200,000 total.

With news that we were awarded a $50,000 grant from the Government of New Brunswick through the Built Heritage Program, we’ve jumped into action. We are now launching the Façade Facelift Fundraiser, with the goal of raising $20,000 by Dec. 1, to match a $20,000 grant that J.T. Clark Family Foundation has committed to us if we match their funds! So far, we have $5,167 raised.

If you can’t donate, help us find someone who can. We are seeking individuals, foundations, and businesses who can commit $1,000 or more. Send your inquiries to Interim Director Michelle, she would love to chat with you. We are a registered charitable organization that issues tax receipts for any donations over $50.

There are many ways to support us: renew your membership with us or purchase our merchandise. We have new Whess Harman ‘Tenderizer’ tees for sale, we restocked our Struts Allergy hats in periwinkle and mustard & have Natt Cann prints available. This month you can find us at the Sackville Farmer’s Market and we’re hosting a Halloween extravaganza in October – more details coming soon.

We need your support. Please spread the word.

With love and excitement for the long-awaited glow up,
Michelle, Lucas, Angie & the Board of Directors"

SACKVILLE STUDIO VISITS Virtually visit the studios of three Sackville-based artists geetha thurairajah, John Haney and Graeme Patterson. Originally debuted at Art Toronto 2020 | October 31 to November 8 The gallery presents three brief portraits of artists introducing their practices and work spaces: geetha thurairajah lives and works in a refurbished schoolhouse on the edge of town, and alternates between living in Sackville and Brooklyn; John Haney (who recently relocated from Hamilton, ON) lives and works on his hundred acre property, which also served as the site for the Ark project, 2019; Graeme Patterson integrates work and life on his multi-building property, and is currently making a detailed scale replica of his home. A fourth artist, Adriana Kuiper, who lost her studio to a fire and built a new one beside her home, was filmed for the series, but audio problems prevented her inclusion.

Collectively, they provide a glimpse into ways of building an artistic practice in spaces beyond our city centres. ARTIST BIOS: geetha thurairajah (b. 1986) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and Sackville, New Brunswick. thurairajah studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Rhode Island School of Design and Wilfrid Laurier University. Recent exhibitions include Soothsay, Unit 17, Vancouver; Ozone Gleaners, Projet Pangée, Montreal (both 2020); Migration is more momentous than ancient invasions, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery; No body to talk to, Invisible Exports, New York; Downward Flower, Fourteen30, Portland (all 2019); An Assembly of Shapes, Oakville Galleries (2018); Mingling with flowers panthers’ eyes, The New Gallery, Calgary; Here’s Looking at You, Loyal Gallery, Stockholm (both 2017) and Goodbye here no matter where, 8eleven, Toronto (2016). John Haney’s work about place, trace, history, and stories takes the form of photography, sculpture, print-making, installation, and text. His work is sometimes reverent, sometimes irreverent, and process and materiality are always guiding principles. He lives in Wood Point, New Brunswick, on the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy, where last year he launched the nascent Wood Point Art Projects with its inaugural event the Ark. Graeme Patterson was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and lives in Sackville, New Brunswick. He graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2002. Initially self-taught in his development of stop-action animation using miniature figures, his multidisciplinary practice consists of animation, video, sculpture, photography, audio, music, robotics, interactive elements, and performance. Recently, he has focused on the creation of a large sculpture integrating a virtual-reality experience. His practice constructs an alternate reality stimulating reflective engagement with universal themes of longing, loss and recovery, and cultivating questions about dislocation, alienation and humankind’s fraught relationship with the natural world.His work has been exhibited and screened internationally at the National Gallery of Canada, MASS MoCA, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and Galerie de l'UQAM. In 2012, he received the Canada Council for the Arts Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award (Media Arts).

I got some work done by Paul Henderson for postering at #SafeSchoolsNB blogger:

http://nomorefluoriderinsenb.blogspot.ca - paid him $50 for a stack of poster cards - back in 2013.

I would have to say the "community" has not embraced my efforts locally in any way, shape or form.

I'm OK with that.

I have never met Amy Siegel.

Vote with your money.

Thanks Michelle.. and again.. welcome to town!

Best wishes to Paul Henderson on parental leave.

[Just ignore those snobby bitches on the "Board" who have no doubt advised everyone to shun me.. they're soooo not cool... and they're probably laughing their asses off that my Youtube and X accounts were removed this year.]

Maybe Mr. Lucas Morneau has misplaced the membership fees cash that I gave him? I'm still not getting any emails from these good folks.. odd.

Nice to see some lawyers giving $5K to Lucas.
