About Us
Whitney Pier Society for the Arts started in 1997 as a way to recognize and spotlight the many talented artists from Cape Breton and to show the contributions that they have made to their community.
An annual festival seemed like to best way to serve this purpose and so PierScape Arts Festival was born.
PierScape is now a weeklong festival, which celebrates the cultural richness that Cape Breton has to offer through the arts.
Energy born of talent and community pride is the driving force of this festival of entertaining events.
After our tenth anniversary we decided that we would change the timing of PierScape from the Fall to the Spring.
The board of directors and
participants
welcomed
and
enjoyed
the
change. Artists have
more work
available in
the
spring,
the choirs have more
time to
practice
and the
school has
more
time to prepare.
This year
PierScape
festival will take place
once
again
in the Spring, May 9 - 14. We
look forward
to
seeing
you
throughout
the
week.
Please see Events for more information.
