The New Brunswick Arts Board is an arm’s length arts funding agency with a legislated mandate to facilitate and promote the creation of art as well as administering funding programs for professional artists in the province.
Following the announcement last Friday of a new partnership between the NB Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, the Canada Council for the Arts and artsnb, we are happy to announce that there will be visits to Indigenous communities of New Brunswick this month.
The Director of Indigenous Arts Programming at the Canada Council for the Arts, Steven Loft, will be visiting Indigenous Communities of New Brunswick. This is an opportunity for artists and organizations to learn more about funding programs available to them. There are different dates, times and locations for each visit.
