The Symposium of Art, co-organised with the Owens Art Gallery was established in 1995 as a response to an interest in performance art in the region. The symposium has expanded to include performance, time-based, media-based, audio, video and other forms of art that break from traditional object-based practices.

Selected artists spend a week in Sackville, New Brunswick presenting their various works as well as an artist’s talk and a key performance/presentation.

The purpose of the symposium was to provide a continued framework for discussion of contemporary approaches to art here and relate them to various current approaches elsewhere.

2011 was the final year for the Symposium of art, Click here to catch a glimpse of the last Symposium!
