Halifax Regional Municipality is seeking artist-led proposals for the design of an original work of art to be installed within the newly redesigned children’s area of Keshen Goodman Public Library (330 Lacewood Drive, Halifax).

The selected art piece should be reflective of the diverse community served by the Keshen Goodman Public Library, while also promoting active engagement and play-based learning.
