Art @ EXIT is a rotating art program hosted at the EXIT Realty Town & Country office in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, designed to celebrate and support local artists while creating a welcoming, inspiring space for the community.

Each month, we feature a local artist and transform our Annapolis Royal office into a curated gallery showcasing their work. From paintings and photography to mixed media and emerging styles, this program brings together art, community, and conversation in the heart of historic Annapolis Royal.

Monthly Artist Features & Gallery Display

Selected artists are invited to display their work for a full month at our office, offering valuable exposure to clients, visitors, and the wider Annapolis Valley community. Artwork remains displayed in a high-traffic, community-focused environment.

Artist Showcase Events

Each featured artist is celebrated with a public showcase event, giving the community an opportunity to meet the artist, view the collection, and experience the creative story behind the work. These events foster meaningful connections between artists, residents, and local businesses.
