Arts Board Grants Deadline

April 1, 2008 is the deadline for application under New Brunswick Arts Board program New Brunswick/Québec Creative Residency. This year applications will be accepted until May 1.

The New Brunswick/Québec Creative Residency agreement establishes an annual exchange program that provides professional artists and writers with opportunities for creation and professional development residencies in the participating province. Artists and writers 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.

April 1, 2008 is also the application deadline for the following two regular programs: Creation and Documentation.

The Creation Grant Program is designed to provide assistance to individual emerging, mid-career and senior professional New Brunswick artists for the research, development and execution of original projects in the arts. Creation Grants are intended to allow artists to devote some or most of their time to research and creative production.

The Documentation Grant Program is designed to provide assistance to professional New Brunswick artists and arts professionals for the research, development and execution of original documentation of arts activities, arts products or art history for archival purposes. Preference will be given to proposals related New Brunswick art or artists.

Effective immediately, we will be accepting applications for the new Career Development Program. This 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: 1) assistance to present work by invitation in established arts events; 2) assistance for participation in residency opportunities of four (4) weeks and less; 3) professional development scholarships for studies. Applications should be received 4 to 6 weeks prior to the event or the activity.
