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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE the staff at artsnb kindly ask that grant applicants carefully read the program description of the program for which they are applying. Due to an overwhelming number of applications with partial information and not meeting the criteria described in the program descriptions, it has been increasingly difficult to meet the turn around competition results standard at artsnb. From now on, partially filled out applications and those not meeting the criteria described in the program descriptions risk being disqualified. We strongly encourage you taking plenty of time before the deadline to fill out your application and contact a member of our team if you have any questions or concerns.
The Artist in Residence Program is intended for New Brunswick public or private institutions and organizations that wish to host professional artists in order to enable them to pursue specific projects relating to their creative work. This program is also open to individual professionals who seek to advance their creative work through participation in residency opportunities at home or outside the province. The artists in residence are to contribute to the promotion and understanding of the arts by means of the artists’ contact with the clientele of the establishments.
