Call for new Professional and Public Art Jurors

Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) is inviting artists, curators, arts administrators, architects, landscape architects, and other cultural workers to join its Peer Jury Roster. Jurors will assess applications for the Grants to Professional Arts Organizations program and public art selection juries. The roster aims to reflect the diversity of Halifax’s population and supports equitable participation. Applicants must self‑identify as professional artists, arts administrators, cultural workers, or emerging artists, and should not be current applicants to the funding program. HRM encourages applications from Indigenous, African Nova Scotian, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, persons with disabilities, and other equity‑deserving groups. Selected jurors receive compensation in line with CARFAC’s Professional Jury Rate. Applications are due 15 September 2026 and consist of an online form and a CV sent by email.
