The Khyber Centre for the Arts has been a significant site of artistic
dialogue in Halifax and the nation for over a decade. The Centre boasts
a lineage of directors whose enthusiasm and talent have accompanied the
Khyber through years of discovery and maturation. The Khyber's founding
director (who now runs a gallery in New York City named after his home country
of Canada), was among a group of industrious and devoted artists in need of a
place to meet, produce and exhibit. After negotiations with the city, the
artists were granted the use of a downtown, historic building that the
Khyber calls home to this very day.
