Exhibitions That Breathe With Nova

Each exhibition at Nova Arts Hub reflects our commitment to cross-cultural dialogue, creative resistance, and community-rooted expression. Our exhibitions are not designed to be an aesthetic on the wall, but an active being in our space- becoming a co-facilitator that adds to the dialogues hosted at each of our events. 

What's On

Reclaiming Space, Reframing Truth

Fall Series- octover to december

Nova Arts Hub officially launches: Reclaiming Space, Reframing Truth- a project that transforms outdoor spaces into platforms for dialogue, truth-telling, and cultural reclamation.

Through a rotating series of installations and artist-led engagements, the project creates opportunities for underrepresented artists to take up space, use their work to assert identity, share truth, and engage the public in rethinking the stories that shape our environments.

I Returned, and the Spirits Were Still Speaking- Artwork By Lajah Warren

June 1- August 8th

“This art series- while playful and joyful- led me on a journey to re-discovering lost parts of myself, remembering the voices of the spirits around me, and learning to truly trust myself.

Each work is a moment of revelation, a turning toward something I had forgotten, a part of myself I had buried. It also holds the ache of remembering. It is the sound of my soul in conversation with the ones who came before me. It is my resistance, my grief, my healing. It is me, coming home...”

What Makes Nova Different? Is this just another art gallery?

Nova Art Hub focuses on programming that intersects art with culture, community, and liberation. We know that artists have always been at the forefront of social movements and major changes in the world. We know that the artistic way of thinking- the designer of ideas- is absolutely essential in re-imagining a world where marginalized communities can thrive.

Nova Art Hubs hopes to connect artists, cultural workers, and community organizers to use art as a tool in building resilient and liberated communities. Through art as a focal point, we can find innovative approaches to understanding strengths, challenges, and opportunities for a better future for our communities. While some programs will be directly linked to this, most of the events focus on skill sharing, building relationship, and community (the important but often forgotten themes in these conversations).

We also prioritize the visions of our community members. This work cannot be done alone and cannot be done by one person. In a city where spaces for events and community-building is limited, we hope to be a space where folks can approach us with their dreams and collaborate in bringing them to life.

Who Is Nova For?

Nova Arts Hub is for community members who come from historically oppressed communities and who have an interest in using creativity to create new paths towards liberation. When we say 'historically oppressed', we mean from communities (cultural, genetically, based on an identity...) that has been or currently faces oppression. This may mean people from the global majority (Black, Indigenous, people of colour, etc), from cultures that have been oppressed, queer and trans folks, etc. Note: these examples are non-exhaustive.

While there are spaces specific for Indigenous folks, Black folks, Queer folks, newcomers, etc..., there are very few spaces where we can come together. What makes Nova Arts Hub unique is that is offers a space for cross-cultural collaboration, creating cross-cultural solidarity and reflection among community members.
