But...is it art?
See All Lists
1. Jo Beale Gallery
Thanks to places like the Jo Beale Gallery, my trips to Peggy's Cove are getting so much more interesting than just a lighthouse on a bunch of rocks. A two-minute walk from the main attraction, this charming homestead on the main road is packed to…More »
2. Argyle Fine Art
While Argyle Fine Art still holds claim to my consistently favourite art gallery from exhibit to exhibit, I'm definitely going to miss the charm of their Historic Properties location on the Halifax waterfront.
I popped in today to check out their new…More »

As art galleries in Halifax scramble to connect with a younger audience, Argyle Fine Art is truly… Read more »
3. Gallery Page & Strange
(**200th REVIEW!**)
One of my goals for 2011 (in absence of resolutions which I have a rather large hate-on for) was to learn more about art. And not in a historical, factual, 'which date did Monet paint the blah blah' sort of way...but in a…More »
4. Black Market Boutique
I like it. I don't get it. But I like it.
The Black Market has been a Halifax staple for as long as I can remember - even back when I was just a wee little yelper-to-be, begging his parents to take him for a big slice from Pizza Corner before I knew…More »
5. Bogside Gallery
This is probably just one of those not-for-me kind of places but I popped in anyway as I was pretending to be Parisien by strolling the Hydrostone with a pastry. (Any excuse to eat pastry...truly)
Much like Henhouse, this shop is an eclectic…More »
6. Inkwell Modern
Halifax, NS B3J 0B4
(902) 405-8309
Categories:
Art Supplies,
Cards & Stationery,
Home Decor
Inkwell is carved out of my artsy print and font-filled dreams. Or maybe letter-pressed out of my dreams would be more accurate since the place is filled with insanely gorgeous prints, stationery, gift cards, calendars, notebooks, tote bags, and so…More »
7. Oddjects
I really like Oddjects and its delightful collection of interesting home decor products that real people can actually afford. I've been in a few times and the stock seems to change regularly, making it a new staple on my downtown window-shopping…More »
8. Nocturne: Art At Night
Hooooooly cow. This was my first year of Nocturning and I have to admit, I was entirely unprepared for just about every aspect of Halifax's new favourite festival.
Rather than spend the weeks leading up to the big night reading about what's happening…More »
9. Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
Halifax, NS B3J 1V9
(902) 424-7542
Categories:
Community Service/Non-Profit,
Museums,
Art Galleries
I am an unapologetic yet undereducated appreciator of the arts. What does that mean exactly? Well, just that I will never say no to local theatre, galleries, or literature, but don't have the Arts Degree itch that makes people want to justify,…More »
10. Dawson Print Shop
Purely as a shopper, the Dawson Print Shop has given me a lot to fall in love with. I was lucky to get introduced to this NSCAD hideaway by members of the Letterpress Gang that calls this their homebase for covert operations involving old-timey art…More »
