What we do for ARTISTS

Since 1982, the artist residency program at the Silver Center for Contemporary Arts has
supported the work of more than 1500 artists from all over Canada and from 40 other
nations. The residency awards include studio and living space, a monthly stipend to help
artists with their expenses, and use of specialized equipment for all types of visual and
performance art. Each artist gives a public lecture or performance at the Silver.

What we do for ART EDUCATION

The Silver School of Art offers classes and workshops in visual arts for students, adults, and
families in our spacious new facilities. Our goal is to make innovative, challenging art
programs available to a wide spectrum of communities. We do so by making classes
affordable and by working with community service organizations. Our Youth in Public Art
program has created outdoor murals, bus shelter art, and billboards.

What we do for HALIFAX

We exhibit a wide range of contemporary artwork in our gallery: painting, sculpture,

are featured together with shows by regional, local, and emerging talents.
Lectures
Saturday morning lectures feature Silver artists-in-residence. The lectures encourage
dialogue, inspire interest, and help demystify contemporary art. Lectures are free and open
