Friday 1pm to 8pm ~ Saturday & Sunday Noon to 5pm ~ Monday 1pm to 5pm

http://redwagonartstudio.com/ This shop in Hammonds Plains has a full range of quality art supplies, in their online store.

The Peggy’s Cove Area Festival of the Arts has become an important part of summer in St. Margaret’s Bay and planned events for the season have been greatly impacted by restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Out of the CEC’s mandate to support local enterprise, this coalition of community minded and art loving organizations has arisen. Many thanks to everyone for their continued support in these challenging times.
