Halifax Town Hall Sound Art Commission - Arts and About

Commission Overview

We'd like to commission a site specific, sound based, public artwork to be installed in and around the Town Hall. The piece could take the form of a piece of music or ambient soundscape, and may incorporate found sounds or location-based recordings.

The artwork should celebrate Halifax and encourage people to reflect on the historical significance, contemporary relevance, and future aspirations of a Town Hall that sits at the heart of the town.

We are looking for sound based installations or works that will celebrate the Town Hall's legacy, reflect its current role within the community, and envision its evolving importance in the years to come.

We are inviting proposals from established artists who have already produced work of this type.

The artwork will be accessed within and in the surrounding area of the Town Hall via QR code and broadcast during special events. The piece must be high-quality recorded audio and accessible for up to 20 years.
