Public Art

Showcasing our Community

Public Art

Public art is an important part of this project, and not just for beautification purposes. Featuring public art in community gathering spaces demonstrates the importance a community places upon arts & culture.

Public art can serve to express the hopes and aspirations of our diverse communities– including marginalized communities– while creating unique and interesting facilities for residents and visitors alike. Investing in public art showcases and supports local artists and artisans, putting dollars directly into the local creative economy.

Calling Local Artists & Artisans!

There are upcoming commission opportunities for local Artisans & Artists to create a variety of public artworks for the new Pictou Library & renovated deCoste Centre. Check out the virtual form linked below, and let us know more about you and your art!
