artsnb announces changes to the Creation program

Fredericton, February 11, 2025 – The New Brunswick Arts Board (artsnb) is pleased to announce the implementation of updated grant categories and the addition of equipment purchases as an eligible expense under the Creation program.

As a result of consultations with New Brunswick’s artistic community, artsnb has simplified the artist categories to the Creation program, reducing from 3 to 2 categories. Effective immediately, artists may now apply under one of 2 categories:

• Artist: the applicant demonstrates more than 5 years of activities as a professional artist and can receive up to $20,000, or;
• Artist – early career: the applicant demonstrates up to 5 years of activities as a professional artist and can receive up to $12,000.

The Online Application System now also includes a checklist to facilitate the category selection by applicants.
