ART PROJECTS

FLOW — the theme at the heart of CB Nuit's 10th Anniversary — is an open invitation to explore movement, connection, and the ways creativity weaves us together. We're excited for you to come flow with us on West Street on September 19 from 7pm til late!

Illuminated Currents

Clustered Bloom is an invitation to immerse yourself in a tactile and fantastical environment that is usually inaccessible to all but trained divers, while embracing an art form that branches back across generations and connects to a shared heritage, or, to describe it in one sentenc

Pemijuik — it is flowing along 

This cross-cultural exchange centers on a hand-painted, functional sculptural piece — an eight-foot handcrafted surfboard blending influences from both artists' ancestral designs. The multidisciplinary installation also includes photography, sound, and video captured by Dru Kennedy, rounding out this exceptional collaborative vision.

Flowing Together

Let's build a river together! Using handmade watercolour paint made from locally sourced ochre, festival attendees will work together to paint a representation of the Humber River's path through the valley — one segment at a time.

Put a Little Boogie In It

Ready to dance your way into an art piece at this year's CB Nuit? 


Luanne Dominix's "Put a Little Boogie In It" turns collective movement into large-scale printmaking — as festival goers dance, shuffle, and stomp across oversized plexi plates, their energy builds a one-of-a-kind image through the night.

Dream Land

~FLOW~ isn't just about physical movement — sometimes it's the emotional current that carries us between places, memories, and versions of ourselves.


That's the heart of Nasim Makaremi Nia's "Dream Land," a video and augmented reality work exploring migration, memory, and identity through hybrid animals, Iranian architecture, and Newfoundland landscapes.

Robyn Anderson - Nestled Art Therapy
Seek with me. Find with me.

Robyn Anderson of Nestled Art Therapy, joined by Adam Critchley, invites you to pause and slow down with "Seek with me. Find with me." — a large-scale seek and find installation that gently interrupts West Street's usual pace.


Inspired by classic children's seek and find books like I Spy, the piece sets a vignette of a traditional Newfoundland "boil up" beside a flowing stream, asking you to search, linger, and simply be present in the moment.

Mary-Lynn & Andy.jpg

Mary-Lynn Bernard & Andy Jones
The Queen of Paradise's Garden

Mary-Lynn Bernard & Andy Jones, perform "The Queen of Paradise's Garden" — Andy's popular, all-ages adaptation of a traditional Newfoundland tale, featuring puppets by Darka Erdelji.


Follow Jack, the mischievous, big-hearted hero of so many Newfoundland tales, on his journey to the land of the Queen of Paradise, told with the humour and warmth that has made Andy one of the Island's finest storytellers.

A Grand (Future) Narrative

Nicole Holloway's "A Grand (Future) Narrative" collages discarded materials and open-source images into a shared vision of the future — imagining the ways community can intersect, learn, and grow.

The Butterfly Effect

Thousands of delicate 3D monarchs gather inside Flo State Salon, pausing on their journey as the "super generation" begins its migration to Mexico.


Come wander through the butterflies with us on West Street and feel the magic for yourself.

Shari Berner & Remi Cayot
Carried By The Current

What happens when a story is carried by more than one voice? ✨


Shari Berner & Remi Cayot's "Carried By The Current" invites you to find out — a collaborative tale where every participant adds a single sentence to an evolving narrative. No writing experience needed, just your imagination.

Somadose x HFR.jpg

Somadose + HDR
Drift Redux

There are currents that move through us long before we notice them.


Somadose + HDR bring "Drift Redux" to Mighty Valley Coffee — a spoken word and soundscape installation exploring memory, grief, connection, and the forces that shape us.


Tidal, intimate, and deeply human, it invites you to enter the story at any point and feel like you've stepped into something already in motion.

4 SQUARE 4 ALL

When was the last time you let yourself play — no thinking, just ~FLOW~?


"4 SQUARE 4 ALL" by Summer Snow & Kel Parsons brings the playground classic Square Ball to CB Nuit with a community tournament open to all. Jump in the lineup, ride the momentum, and see how far you can make it in a round!


With continuous games and multiple winners, this project turns public space into a playground of nostalgia and connection. 

The Crew_edited.jpg

The Crew
Homebound Glow

In the dark, a single light can mean everything. 

 

"Homebound Glow" by The Crew pays homage to Newfoundland's lightstations and keepers — a means of communication and connection between those safe on land and the ships of people flowing through the dark seas, since Norse ships first docked at L'Anse aux Meadows in 1000 CE.

 

Blending theatre (costume, lighting, acting) with painting, sewing, and sculpture, this project is a beacon of its own — built for a night when finding your way through the dark is exactly the point.

What Keeps Us Together

How do you connect with others and build community in your life?

 

"What Keeps Us Together" by Violet Malinowka & Alice Quezada explores this question through an aerial hoop act that will enrapture you in a world of flight and wonder.

Halo of reality

How does the past ~FLOW~ on through you?


"Halo of Reality," by Ismael Gomezcana Cuevas with collaborators Samantha Mutrey-Swain and Keira Clarke, brings a life-sized, hand-embroidered dress inspired by traditional Guerrero, Mexico artistry to life. Directed by Michael Waller, the piece blends body, sound, and architecture into a living reflection of memory, identity, and resilience.

Roberto Santaguida
Listening Ground

In the quiet, feeling can say what sound never could.

 

"Listening Ground" by Roberto Santaguida strips everything back — no speakers, no screen, no spectacle. Just a single blanket lying close to the ground. Lie down, touch the surface, or stand at the edge, and something begins to rise through the fabric — barely there, then impossible to ignore. Created for CB Nuit's low-sensory space, this piece turns flow into a current you feel before you understand it.

Where Energy Flows
Youth Mentorship Project

Inspired by the energy of the human soul, this piece uses colour to represent the spiritual aura surrounding each of us. The silhouette captures a woman becoming connected with herself, allowing her energy to flow rather than holding it back. Mentored by Amanda Johnson.

Courtney Kayne Concepcion
Art in Motion
Youth Mentorship Project

A young Filipino artist and student at Corner Brook Regional High School, Courtney invites guests into an interactive DIY photo booth, hand-doodling live portraits with vibrant markers and watercolour paper. Each piece becomes a personal bookmark — a nostalgic anchor capturing fleeting moments of connection and the continuous flow of time. Mentored by Jane Reagh.

Eye of the Storm
