Want to see your artwork in The Sunroom?
Halifax Public Libraries’ Art Selection Committee invites artists to submit an application to display their work at Central Library. The Sunroom is a complimentary space, where rotating art exhibits highlight emerging and professional local artists, and reflect Halifax’s diverse artistic expression. The deadline to apply is August 28, 2026.
- We'll consider original works of contemporary visual art by living artists—solo, group, or curated exhibits.
- We want to share our local cultural diversity, so we give priority to Halifax-based visual artists but we do also exhibit work from artists around Nova Scotia. By this same token, artists can only exhibit once every 2 years, unless invited by the Art Selection Committee.
- Typically, each art exhibit lasts between 6-8 weeks.
Before applying, please read the Terms of Reference for further details, opens a new window on selection criteria and exhibiting in The Sunroom, opens a new window.
