The draw for travellers has traditionally always been the wide expanses of raw nature, from ranging moose to towering icebergs—that and Newfoundlanders’ legendary sense of hospitality. Today though, the island is rapidly garnering a reputation for a keen arts scene as well as a meaningful approach to preserving a traditional way of life. From the Rising Tide Theatre in Trinity to the Shorefast Foundation of Fogo Island, local artists are celebrated as are those who seek inspiration in the wild landscapes and deep history of Newfoundland. The hiking has always been good, the people friendly and engaging, and the fish fresh; it’s just that now the whole experience has become so much more interactive. Stories of old told by those whose grandparents told them, traditional skills revived and put to use in contemporary settings, and a lively celebration of everything that is this island, encompassing all art forms from the stage to the paintbrush.
