Professional Artist Accreditation: Fall 2026 Jury

A new Professional Artist Accreditation application period is set to open in November, 2026.

Accreditation is completely voluntary. Artists can continue their practices and work for organizations and entities without being accredited.

However, artists who wish to compete for certain government contracts and commissions will need to be accredited to qualify for these opportunities.

Applications open: November 16, 2026
Deadline: November 30, 2026

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Submissions will reopen in the new year for the next session.

l’AAAPNB and Mawi’Art will also be offering Professional Artist Accreditation this fall.

As a provincial entity, ArtsLink NB acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact, recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

We, the members of ArtsLink NB, pay respect to the descendants of this land and to the elders — past and present. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous People in this land that is called New Brunswick.
