Join us for the Scotiacentric Designs Art Exhibition in our Lower Gallery from June 4 to 24th. The Opening Reception for this show will be held on Thursday, June 4 at 6:30 p.m.
Their products are made by adding original artwork to vintage nautical charts that belonged to April’s father, Henry Proter, who was a Canadian Coast Guard Captain for 26 years. Henry booke-ended his Coast Guard career with 10 years in the Royal Canadian Navy before and 10 years after running his own business delivering boats around the Atlantic Coast of Canada and the USA. His collection of charts remained untouched for several years after his death in 2018.
When Dan retired in 2023 and was looking for something else to do, he started drawing historically significant pictures on the charts, which we then turned into the products we currently offer.
