ALUMNI

'We’re kind of amphibious: we’re existing in the ether and on land.'

With two shows running concurrently in the Halifax, 2024 is a summer of love for artist Mitchell Wiebe (MFA 1996).  VampSites marks the reopening of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, running from June 8 to Sept. 30. The second show, Third Elbow is at the Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery.  Weibe talks about his work as a painter and performer. 

Our graduates are known both locally and internationally for their boundless ingenuity and intense curiosity. Alumni go on to have incredible careers—within and beyond the art world—as artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, administrators, academics, and creative professionals. Their paths may be different but there is one thing they all share, their lives were shaped by their time at NSCAD.
