UNB Art Centre

You are invited to view the exhibition Art of Creation on display at the UNB Art Centre until June 16, 2023. This exhibit showcases a joint project by McMaster University and UNB's Faculty of Kinesiology that takes an arts-based approach to public education to promote a greater understanding of the importance of healthy choices before and during pregnancy. Art is a powerful tool that can inspire individuals and empower change. It can also communicate complex concepts, foster understanding, and elicit an emotional response in ways that traditional teaching methods rarely do.

Focus on the UNB Collection: Tropos

The UNB Permanent Collection is made up of 2,300 artworks acquired through donation, bequest, commission and purchase. These works have become a welcome part of daily life at UNB and can be seen in the libraries, green spaces, hallways and lounges across the Fredericton and Saint John campuses.

Deanna Musgrave
Tropos (detail), 2015
Acrylic on canvas
72 inches x 36 feet

If you happen to be on the UNB campus, then take a look at this incredible artwork by Deanna Musgrave on display on the 3rd floor of the Kinesiology building in Fredericton. Tropos was originally conceived as a multi-media installation, designed to explore the viewer's experience, as part of the artist's research for the Master of Interdisciplinary Studies degree. This large painting references the water cycle and the troposphere in order to draw attention to the current global concerns about the environment. Musgrave's impressive painting focuses on colour, motion and visualized sound and integrates optical effects and luminous sequences to create a fluctuating, ebbing and flowing experience. First exhibited at the UNB Art Centre, it was part of the 80^th Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences held at the University of New Brunswick in 2011.

Deanna Musgrave graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. in 2005. Later, she earned her Bachelor of Education (2008) and a Diploma in University Teaching (2009) from the University of New Brunswick. In 2019, she received her Master of Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of New Brunswick. She maintains an active studio practice and lives in Saint John, New Brunswick.

The UNB Art Centre (506-453-4623) is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public.
