Public Art in Halifax

The Halifax Regional Municipality facilitates the creation and acquisition of public art and ensures that professional artists are involved in its creation. The Halifax region has over 250 public art projects and installations. 

Permanent public art often includes sculptures, monuments, and integrated artworks. These are commissioned by the Municipality through a formal selection process. Works in the permanent collection are maintained and conserved with care. 

Administrative Order 2020-001-OP - Respecting Public Art (also known as the Public Art Policy) provides a framework for the Municipality to, among other things, commission works of public art.

The following projects are the most recent public art projects that have been commissioned by the Halifax Regional Municipality. If you are looking for information about new calls or ongoing projects click here.
