The County Arts Lab is dedicated to artistic experimentation and creation. Our Main Street location and focus on accessibility puts the arts and artists at the heart of our community.
Nestings by Heather Lindsay is a collection of abandoned bird nests and poems inspired by them, displayed to highlight the architectural wonder knitted into these intricate woven structures. Poem and nest combine to invite consideration of how fragments; letters, words or grasses and garden debris, assemble to make a new whole.

The County Arts Lab, Unit 2E, 206 Main Street, Picton
We are located at 206 Main Street, Unit 2E Picton in the historic Armoury building in downtown Picton.
The County Arts Lab is fully accessible to those entering by The Armoury’s front doors off of Main Street. There is no elevator in the building, so those entering the rear of the building via the Mary Street parking lot must use stairs to access the space.
On the weekends and evenings, visitors can park in the Armoury lot at the rear of the building on Mary Street. Otherwise, visitors can park on Main Street or in the free municipal lots on the corner of Mary and Elizabeth streets and on King Street adjacent to Benson Park. There is an accessible parking spot across the street from The Armoury as well as in front of the post office (90 meters from the front doors). For further information on parking, please click here.

Once new equipment is in place, including lighting, sound, exhibition, and media arts equipment, as well as a stage, seating for one hundred, and moveable walls to allow the space to be configured for multiple uses, we will begin hosting the performing arts.
