Public Art

Jordan Bennett, Tepkik, 2018-19. Exhibited in "Abadakone" National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Winner of the 2020 Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Arts Award.

We work directly with artists to support them through every phase of public art procurement. We also work directly with clients to support them in fitting their public spaces with new works by IOTA artists. 

We have the network to care for fiscal responsibility, community engagement, project management, and multi-partner collaborations. We work primarily with 2SLGBTQQIPA+, Indigenous, Women, and Neurodiverse arts professionals, and we are continuing to expand our partnerships with Black, POC, d/Deaf and Disabled artists and researchers. We have built relationships with all levels of government, corporate clients, and grassroots organizers.

The park is full of people, surrounded by a street with cars, and 5-story buildings. Angular pathways cut through the grassy park, with freestanding rectangular planters, green trees, and a wooden structure with a transparent roof and no walls.
