Bell Library Centre for Innovation and Learning. Situated within the unceded and ancestral territory of Mi'kma'ki, this commission seeks to honour Mi'kmaq cultural knowledge, artistic excellence, and basketry traditions. The selected artwork will serve as a lasting expression of these teachings within one of the university's most significant public spaces.
The R.P. Bell Library Centre for Innovation and Learning is the academic heart of Mount Allison University, welcoming students, faculty, staff, researchers, and community members. As a place dedicated to learning, research, creativity, and collaboration, the library provides an ideal setting for a permanent artwork that reflects the university's commitment to reconciliation, Indigenous knowledge, and respectful relationships.
