Curious about local art? We are too!
When it comes to the arts, Nova Scotia is spoiled for talent, and we're pleased to feature local art in many of our Library spaces.
From The Sunroom at Central Library to art displayed in our branches, we want to give local artists space to connect with our community and share their vision.

Art by Fabien Lutz-Barabé
Fabien Lutz-Barabé and his husband moved to Nova Scotia in 1997 when he started to paint with watercolours and then moved on to acrylics. As a member of the Peggy’s Cove Area Festival of the Arts, his love of Nova Scotia and its surroundings are the source of many of his inspired works. His imagination shows no bounds when it comes to materials he uses to create unique pieces. He had his first published cartoon strip “The Spice of Life” in two local Montreal papers from 1994 to 1996. Currently, he has returned to his first love of cartooning and has two cartoons on various social media platforms with an ever growing audience.
