The Owens Art Gallery’s main floor is now home to Gathering, an exhibition on view from March 14 to May 31 that brings together recent abstract paintings by Nancy Stevens with historic graduate self-portraits from the Owens archive. Organized in conjunction with the 70th reunion of Stevens’ graduating class, the exhibition places her vibrant geometric abstractions alongside self-portraits by Mount Allison Fine Arts students from the Classes of 1951, 1956, and 1961. Seen together, the works trace a rich history of art-making at Mount Allison and invite visitors to reflect on identity, place, and the lifelong practice of making art. - Last(ing) Impressions: Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition 2026 – Saturday, March 21 to Tuesday, May 12
Also opening at the Owens Art Gallery is Last(ing) Impressions: Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition 2026, on view in the 2nd floor gallery from March 21 to May 12. This annual exhibition showcases new work by graduating students from the Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts and highlights the range of media, ideas, and approaches developed during their time at Mount Allison. From painting and printmaking to sculpture, installation, photography, and hybrid practices, the show offers a chance to see the work of emerging artists at an exciting moment of transition. - Greenslades: Mike Trask / Sam Salmon – Saturday, March 21 – Saturday, March 21

Rueda de Casino is a fun social Cuban circle dance with upbeat music and lots of laughter, running Monday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Sackville Curling Club. No partner or prior dance experience is required, and the group restarts from the beginning when new dancers join, making it a good time for newcomers to try it. The atmosphere is friendly and energetic with no pressure to be good at dancing, and a mix of skill levels helps people learn quickly. The cost is typically about $5-$6 per night, based on attendance, paid in blocks to cover rental costs. - Winter Ultimate Frisbee – Tuesday, March 24
