Accessibility and Equity

The Access Support and Application Assistance programs are designed to provide New Brunswick artists with more equitable access to artsnb grant programs. These two programs offer additional financial support to individuals who identify specific barriers to carrying out their proposed activities, or within the application process itself.

Access Support and Application Assistance requests are treated as confidential information and are not assessed by a peer jury. Requests are reviewed and awarded on a case-by-base basis by artsnb staff.

Access Support

The Access Support program is designed to provide supplemental funding to successful grant recipients who identify specific disability-related supports that are needed to carry out their proposed activities.

Artists who self-identify as Deaf, having disabilities or living with mental illness may apply for additional funds to cover expenses for specific services and supports including, but not limited to: the hiring of Sign language interpreters or personal attendants; the rental of specialized equipment; or disability-related transportation and accommodation costs.
