The New Brunswick Arts Board (artsnb) is pleased to announce the Arts Infrastructure Grants for Emerging Artists program, a project-based program designed to provide one-time capital acquisition to emerging New Brunswick artists to acquire equipment that will enable them to complete a project and strengthen their long-term artistic development.
Objectives
The Arts Infrastructure Grants for New and Emerging Artists program is designed to provide onetime capital improvement or equipment acquisition grants to emerging New Brunswick artists or newlyarrived immigrants to acquire tools and equipment or improve their facilities and infrastructures to strengthen their long-term capacity to create work.
Applicants to this program must demonstrate:
- A record of artistic achievement and quality of work;
- A clarity and rationale for proposed capital improvement or equipment acquisition, including identification of specific costs, tools and materials required; and
