About HAPA

The "Halifax Art and Performance Association," a local not-for-profit dedicated to supporting the vibrant community of artists, creatives, and performers in Dartmouth, Halifax, and throughout HRM

From immersive theatrical experiences to intimate acoustic concerts and art show exhibitions to arts education programs, our board, comprised of local artists, producers, investors and business owners, has committed itself to creating a welcoming and safe space (The Sanctuary Arts Centre) for members of our community to take their artistry to the next level.

In our capacity as a presenter, we are working to bring unique events and exhibitions to our community that not only entertain but also inspire future generations of Nova Scotian creatives.
