Eye Level Gallery

Eye Level is super sweet and great. Located on Gottingen Street, it provides a low key environment featuring local artists’ fresh, inspired and sometimes zany works.
I’ve been here for a few openings as well as for the Nocturne festival. The space is simple: a single white long rectangular room, with a reception area in the back. Nestled into one of the back most corners, you will find a rich selection of zines — small publications consisting of writings, pictures, etc. You can buy them or peruse (I recommend buying — they don’t cost much and you’ll be supporting the artist).
You should indeed check out this little gallery. It’s a simple space, filling a very necessary position as a purveyor of local (and sometimes visiting) artists’ creations! GO!

Eyelevel is a gallery that brings a fresh element into Halifax’s art scene. Its a small and quaint little setting run by a sweet bunch of people who like to keep things interesting.
The gallery provides some great local work and prefers to play on a more conceptualized art experience. A few months ago I attended a free cinema night that featured a 1979 Bowie documentary called ‘Cracked Actor’, and 2 other short films covering contrasting sub cultures of times past. Definitely a worthy venture, as I wouldn’t have sought these films out on my own. Popcorn and beer were served as well.
The gallery holds spoken word shows, most recently «Dear Diary», in which submissions were pooled together for people to read private thoughts, or written piece to portray such a manner. Very cool as a collective entity.
I’d consider this one of the freshest contributors to art in the city and a place to keep tabs on for interesting and provocative shows.

Eyelevel is a cute little gallery on Gottingen St. that showcases local and visiting artists. The space is small and comfy, with frequently rotating shows. I love the narrow window that they’ve got on the North side of the building’s exterior; there’s always some fun thing on display in there. As with all galleries, how much enjoy the current show will depend entirely on YOU. But I love this space, and the casual approach to art that you find here. They are very open to community art engagement too, and I’ve seen both professional and amateur artists display and perform here.
