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 Creative Residencies Program provides professional artists with opportunities for creation and professional development residencies in the participating provinces and states. Artists participating in this program enjoy complete autonomy and define the objectives of their period of residence and elaborate the parameters and conditions governing its realization in collaboration with an arts or community organization in the territory where the period of residence is to take place. The program reflects the desire of artsnb to offer New Brunswick writers and artists a new career development opportunity and to continue its productive collaboration with the arts councils of neighbouring provinces.
