What we do for ARTISTS
Since 1982, the artist residency program at the Lange 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 Lange.
We exhibit a wide range of contemporary artwork in our gallery: painting, sculpture, installation/conceptual art, and photography. Exhibitions by internationally renowned artists are featured together with shows by regional, local, and emerging talents.
Lectures
Saturday morning lectures feature Lange artists-in-residence. The lectures encourage dialogue, inspire interest, and help demystify contemporary art. Lectures are free and open to the public.
Library
The Lange Resource Library is open to the Halifax community. Lange artists-in-residence use the library for research as they work. We have a wide collection of art books, periodicals, and videotapes.
