Embed and Embody and Adorn
An exhibition to showcase the unique artworks made as part of NOISEmakers, a community- based art program involving local artists, art students and members of the Halifax newcomer community.
Nocturne and Art Factory recognize the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians.
NSCAD Art Factory in collaboration with Nocturne and ISANS (Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia), present an exhibition to showcase the unique art works made as part of NOISEmakers, a community- based art program involving local artists, art students and members of the Halifax newcomer community. As part of this exhibition, viewers will see one-of-a-kind textile and jewellery based-pieces created by a group of young artists. Over the course of several weeks, these artists have worked with NSCAD student instructors as well as professional artists as they investigate self-expression through material exploration. The resulting fashion and jewellery pieces reflect their individual stories translated into wearable art forms.
In addition to this project, viewers will also see examples of artworks also made as part of the Noisemakers program. These works (additionally exploring themes of embodiment and embellishment) were created as part of a series of all ages workshops facilitated by artists at Glen Garden, an ISANS coordinated community garden located in Clayton Park. There will also be hands-on art-making opportunities for the general public during Nocturne.
