Welcome to the George Fry Gallery at NBCCD
Open and always free to the public, NBCCD’s gallery showcases craft and design work of NBCCD students, faculty, staff, and invited artists in a schedule of regularly changing exhibitions. It is an exciting learning resource and features a wide range of makers, materials, and processes. It is also home to our annual Holiday Craft Sale, which provides students with an opportunity to showcase the skills gained in their entrepreneurship classes by marketing and selling their work in a public retail venue. Gallery exhibitions promote and demonstrate professionalism, enhance student employability, and contribute to the economic and cultural life of Canada. Visit us at 408 Queen Street in beautiful downtown Fredericton.
The George Fry Gallery is also home to our Admissions Office for prospective students or members of the public to learn more about studying at New Brunswick College of Craft & Design. To schedule an official tour of the gallery and NBCCD buildings, classrooms, and studios, please complete the Campus Tour Request Form. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
NBCCD campus tours visit the George Fry Gallery, when exhibitions are running, and tour all studios and facilities of New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. Book your tour today or schedule a virtual meeting with the recruitment and admissions team to learn more.

George Fry served as Director of the Craft School (now the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design) from 1976 to 1993. He was an enthusiastic promoter of fine craft and fine-craft artisans, achieving recognition for New Brunswick artists across Canada and internationally. He was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for a lifetime of contributions to the arts, and he continued to make, exhibit and inspire fine art and craft until his death in 2014.
