Third Space is pleased to present THIRD SHIFT: RECLAMATION! This year’s festival will take place August 18-20 2023 and will comprise of installations, screenings, workshops, artist talks, and more.

THIRD SHIFT is an annual festival of public contemporary artworks that takes place in Saint John, New Brunswick. THIRD SHIFT 2023 will take place from August 18 – 20, 2023. THIRD SHIFT: RECLAMATION aims to reflect in, around, and outside what once belonged to us as artists and observers. Personal time, bonds, roots, heritages, many of these elements in our day-to-day lives often get set aside in our fast-paced world. We are rarely given time to consider our existence amongst others, always caught up in anticipating everything but ourselves. What does it mean to take time for oneself, to reflect on self-care, to focus on hobbies, or to revisit physical places that once felt like home?
