His art is represented in over 25 public, government, and corporate collections and has been exhibited alongside works by some of the world's most celebrated artists, including Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall. He was appointed to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1994 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1986.
Silverberg also left an enduring impact as an educator, establishing the printmaking department at Mount Allison University and later serving as Artist-in-Residence at Acadia University in Wolfville.
