New Dawn is in the midst of transforming former Holy Angels convent to the centre through renovations and the installation of specialized equipment.
We have seen, in city after city and town after town, the power of the arts to transform, particularly in other post-industrial settings.
The convent will transform into a cultural hub with permanent homes for 150 artists and innovators including musicians, dancers, and theatre groups.
Nova Scotia government will contribute $3.2 million to redevelop former Holy Angels convent into arts, culture and innovation centre.
Community hubs come alive with proactive leadership and the scent of social innovation.
In short, it’s more than preservation; it’s regeneration. And government is only one player.
