Description

Twenty artists call the Colouratura Gallery home and most of them are from Cape Breton Island. Our selection is a great variety of paintings in watercolour, acrylic, as well as carvings, pottery, some spectacular jewelry, and First Nations art.The building that houses Colouratura Fine Art Gallery was formerly a Presbyterian Church built in 1940. It was retired as a church in 2006 and sat vacant until 2010 when I purchased the property to repurpose it into the Gallery. With great “bones” the building remains greatly the same, with cosmetic changes both inside and out. You can still see where the pews once sat many members of past communities at the back. There is also a very small Pioneer cemetery on the property near the location of the former church that preceded the current building. A little garden around the single headstone marks the site.
