Each May we begin our season with an art show highlighting new work by established and emerging artists from Hants County and beyond.
Organized by the Avon River Arts Society, the Great Little Art Show is a major attraction in the community and is a significant event for the Avon Heritage Museum and Avon Spirit Shipyard.
Unfortunately our facility will most likely be closed to the public for the 2020 season and all of our regular events have been postponed to 2021. As we navigate through this new chapter we will be making the most of the situation. Over the next few months we will be dedicating time towards making our museum and gift shops' entire collections accessible online. As the warmer months approach we look forward to sharing some of our other ongoing community projects via social media, follow along with us as we adapt and grow! facebook.com/AvonRiverHeritage
