THE COLLECTION
Untitled, Jean McEwen, 1966
50 years of public art
Concordia’s public art collection was brought to life over 50 years ago with the integration of painted glass windows by Jean McEwen into the newly built Henry F. Hall building at Sir George Williams University, one of Concordia’s founding institutions.
Today the collection features over 40 artists and is presented across Concordia’s two campuses on building facades, city sidewalks, tunnels and atria.
This website brings together the artworks from both campuses and provides an entry point of discovery. We invite you to use this website as a guide when visiting in person. The collection is open to the public year-round.
