Art Displays
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 Connia Kretzer
"I’m Corinna, a German artist based in Dartmouth, Canada. My work aims to tell a visual story - my paintings are maps and memories, they show how things looked and felt at a specific moment in time."
Â
"I have been painting all my life. What started as a passion and hobby turned into LIFE OF BLUE ART in 2021. Today, I focus mainly on commissions and producing paintings for galleries. You can buy prints of my artwork at the Alderney Landing Farmers Market on weekends."
Â
"Follow me on social media, where I share sneak peeks of my new projects, my painting process, and special stories behind my paintings."

Art by Margaret Ardenne
10 years ago, Margaret started taking workshops offered by local artists. These rekindled her interest in painting and provided much encouragement.
A member of the Glen Artists and the AAC since 2018, Margaret has been using acrylics because of their colour and versatility. Most of Margaret's pieces are described as realistic.
Margaret feels that young children benefit from exposure to the visual and performing arts. With this in mind, Margaret always creates several pieces whose purpose is to engage young eyes, and to speak to the child within adult viewers.
