Art on the Bus

The Halifax Regional Municipality’s Department of Cultural Affairs, in conjunction with the Nocturne: Art at Night Committee and Metro Transit commissioned black & white artwork for the interior bus boards on various Metro Transit Buses. Artists were charged with the design of artwork that considered the properties of light and illumination. Three local artists were selected, each with their own interpretation of the theme. HRM Cultural Affairs, Metro Transit and Nocturne: Art at Night are delighted to display the work of local artists, Damian Lidgard, Kyle MacDonald and Chris Lockerbie.

Congrats again from me as well!

Looks like you really cleaned up with that picture. Yes indeed, you sure did make a splash. You plumbed your ability, tapped your skills, and did not sink below your standards. Let us hope that this will remain a fixture, and the good work will continue to flow. Now I must go, as I find this rather draining.
