This publication coincides with the exhibition Sackville Addresses held at the Owens Art Gallery from 29 September to 12 November 2000.

Generations of artists—resident and itinerant, professional and amateur—have depicted Sackville and the Tantramar Marsh, responding to and recording the local scene and the natural beauty of the landscape. Sackville Addresses is not an exhibition of that work; rather it focuses on art which foregrounds the issues of place, art which addresses the physical, social, moral, cultural and otherwise lived experience of Sackville.
