The Cumberland Art Bank was established in 2017 to build an art collection representing the best visual expression of Cumberland County. The aim is to encourage artistic creation in this region, stimulate public interest in the visual arts, and raise awareness of Cumberland County, its artists and their work.
The Art Bank is made possible through the Municipality of Cumberland, an Advisory of community volunteers with administrative support from Parrsboro Creative, the sale of limited-edition prints of the collection, other fundraising, and donations.

Congratulations to Susan Paterson on her recent awards! We are proud to have one of her paintings in our Cumberland Art Bank collection. View the collection at the Parrsboro Municipal Service Centre at 209 Main Street in Parrsboro, N.S.

I was thrilled to find out today that 2 of my paintings won three awards in the 16th International Art Renewal Center Salon! 'Silver and Lace with Eggs', (below) won a Purchase Award and Second Place in the Still Life Category. 221 awards were presented, out of 5400 entries! Only 11 pieces were purchased and I am so honoured that my piece was one of them!! This also means that it will be shown at Sotheby's in New York as part of the Live Exhibit this July. This is an amazing realism competition with incredibly high caliber work from all over the world, be sure to check out all the winners, finalists and semi-finalists. Thank you to the jurors, fellow artists and to all of you for taking an interest in my work! I appreciate it so much. (I'll post the other piece in a separate post)
