VANS is currently doing a program review, during which we are re-evaluating our current programs to make sure they work for our members (and staff). During this time, we have stopped accepting exhibition proposals and no new exhibitions will be scheduled for the Corridor Gallery until the completion of the review. All scheduled exhibitions (including those postponed due to the pandemic) have already taken place. If you have questions, please contact the Programming Coordinator at communicate@visualarts.ns.ca.

The Corridor Gallery gives members of Visual Arts Nova Scotia an opportunity to create an exhibition of their work. View past Corridor Gallery exhibitions here. Exhibition spaces are available to VANS members only. Become a member here.  

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia office at the Halifax Seaport since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complemented by simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia offices. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia, situated on unceded Mi’kmaq territory, and is typically open Monday through Thursday, 10am – 5pm. Please note: The office is currently open by appointment only due to the pandemic, so we encourage you to call of email before you arrive to ensure the Corridor Gallery is staffed. We will be creating video exhibition tours to be shared with the public.

The Corridor Gallery consists of the two walls in the corridor space of the entrance to our offices with track lighting, the front wall in the main courtyard (dark purple) wall and a smaller (grey) wall in the main office area. The measurements are as follows: Corridor walls (two that face each other) measure at 100″ wide x 84″ high and 110″ wide x 84″ high, which includes track lighting. The front wall in the main courtyard measures at 72″ wide x 72″ high and the small wall in the main office measures at 36″ wide x 24″ high. Exhibiting Corridor Gallery artists are expected to install and dismantle their own exhibit.
