Each October the city comes alive with art after dark, one very full evening. Usually an event for professionals, CPA high school submitted an art installation proposal based on the events of the Halifax Explosion in 1917. We were approved! We chose St. Paul's Church (a building in downtown Halifax that survived the explosion) and hung 904 pieces of beautiful glass. The number signifies the time of day the explosion happened. |
 Hundreds of cut pieces of glassWe chose to hang 904 pieces of beautiful textures, clear glass in the church. This represented the time of day the historic explosion occured and the point at which Halifax windows, and lives, were shattered. |  Glass workshopsStudents spent days learning the various steps necessary for the completion of each piece of glass we needed. |  Glass workshops |
