Career Development

Please note that artsnb has recently announced changes to the Career Development program’s deadlines, reducing their number from 6 to 3 yearly. This change will take effect on May 1, 2026. Read more about this news here.

If you are an artist seeking support for your studies but you do not yet meet artsnb’s Definition of a Professional Artist, please refer to artsnb’s Arts Scholarship Program.

The Career Development program is designed to recognize and encourage arts professionals who have demonstrated exceptional artistic talent and potential, and who are pursuing a career in the arts. The program is divided in three components:

  • The Arts by Invitation component is for assistance to present work by invitation in established arts events.
  • The Professional Development component is for assistance to pursue studies, workshops, training, or mentorships in the arts.
  • The Professionalization and Promotion component is designed to assist artists to produce tools related to the promotion of the artist’s work and career with a view to broadening the dissemination network for their work and diversifying their sources for funding.
