SS Atlantic
Legacy Art Projects

Connecting with history through
creative collaboration


This series of projects reconnects rural communities through creative collaborations while reflecting on the 150th anniversary of the wreck and rescue of the SS Atlantic in Lower Prospect, Nova Scotia.

Celebrating the resilience, generosity, and cooperation demonstrated in our local communities 150 years ago that is still evident today, these projects connect community members with history as we navigate and envision a sustainable future through art and collaboration.

Projects are ongoing throughout 2023 and 2024.
