Written By Turret Arts Space

On December 17, 2025, HRM declassified and publicly released the report on the Turret Arts Space.

Turret Arts Space has conducted a preliminary review of the report, noting inconsistencies and contradictions within it.  

Turret Arts Space continues to call on HRM for transparency and accountability, and to:

  • Meet with Turret Arts Space to answer questions arising from the report

  • Halt the buy-back of 1588 Barrington Street

  • Not declare 1588 Barrington Street surplus to initiate a disposal strategy for the property

  • Support the Turret Arts Space redevelopment to create an arts hub and steward the Queer heritage of 1588 Barrington Street
