Public Engagement: New Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and Arts District

We have partnered with KPMB Architects, Omar Gandhi Architect, Jordan Bennett Studio, Elder Lorraine Whitman (NWAC), Public Work and Transsolar to deliver a new Art Gallery of NS on the Halifax waterfront, that is built by and for all Nova Scotians.

Our integrated team has co-created a design inspired by the rich culture and Indigenous ways of thinking of the Mi’kmaq people, radically shifting the paradigm of a major provincial art institution to be open, accessible, welcoming, relevant, and unique in every way. Through engagement, the public has imagined a transformative place on the Halifax waterfront that catalyzes new ways of thinking and being, new networks and relationships, all set within a regenerative landscape that builds the site from the ground up.
