Occupying most of the second floor of the former jail including the former cafeteria room, Studio 426 provides an affordable, dedicated working space for visual artists in eastern Restigouche.

 

The/Le Studio 426 is an artist space located in the old jailor’s apartment, above the jail. It serves artists and artist groups as a dedicated space where they can:

• Create Art

• Hold such formal development activities as workshops, classes, and study groups

• Gather informally for free-form discussion and peer interaction

• Host artist residencies

• Hold their board and committee meetings

 

The/Le Studio 426 space is wonderfully suited for its purpose. Abundantly windowed on three sides, two former offices, and washrooms. It has a separate entrance and a fire escape. It is heated and has air conditioning. 

​

The/Le Studio 426 is an initiative of the Town of Heron Bay (Dalhousie) , and the Restigouche Regional Museum Association (non-profit).

​

Renovations and upgrades were done in 2018 made possible in part by a grant from The Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation and The Town of Dalhousie. 

 

Studio 426 is available for rentals, workshops, meetings. Contact the Museum Main number at 506-684-7490 for inquiries.
