Maritime Painted Saltbox The Google rating is 4.8

Celebrating our 28th Season in 2026. The Maritime Painted Saltbox is a unique studio/gallery located in Petite Riviere, Nova Scotia, featuring contemporary fine, fun, and folk art, reproduction prints on metal, canvas, archival paper and vinyl banners by artists Tom Alway and Peter Blais. The work is housed in four rooms on two floors in a barn setting, in an outdoor building called the Coop, and in our new outdoor gallery, a covered 10′ x 20′ timber framed pergola.

The Maritime Painted Saltbox has been a South Shore Nova Scotia destination since 1998 and is considered a “hidden gem” in Lunenburg County.
