ArtsLink NB, in consultation with arts organizations across the province, representing a broad and diverse perspective of the arts and culture community, has written an open letter about the future of arts and culture in NB.
The letter outlines key recommendations for supporting New Brunswick’s arts organizations and reflects shared priorities across sector.
Join us in Saint John the weekend of October 18th-19th for professional development opportunities and events for artists of all disciplines.
Don’t miss out on this exciting programming! Free events and workshops! Open to the public, but ArtsLink NB members get the first spots in limited capacity events.
Whether engaging on social media, online selling, or in-person sales (via fairs, performances, or retailing), it’s important to be able to speak to people about your work, and even more importantly to speak to groups of people about your work, confidently and authoritatively.
Performer CJ Norris will work with you to develop some strategies for how to come across as clear and confident based on your practice.
The nine artists who will take part in the fifth edition of the Cross-Cultural Creation residency organized by the AAAPNB, ArtsLink NB, and Mawi’art: Wabanaki Artist Collective have been announced!
Social media is a branding opportunity that artists often struggle to engage with, and, since it’s so personalized, often their questions can’t be answered in group sessions or online courses.
Calling all packrats! Do you have any art supplies, books, or magazines gathering dust in the corner of your studio? Did you inherit a collection that you’ll never get to using? Did you buy a giant floor loom thinking that this was the year you’d finally get into weaving only to leave it untouched for half a decade?
If this oddly specific scenario (or the more general one) applies to you, keep reading!
ArtsLink NB is organizing our second annual donation drive for the lending library! Our lending library provides members with free rentals of books and equipment to help their artistic careers. We have over 700 books and 50 pieces of equipment, but we’re looking to expand.
We are looking for donations of new or gently used:
Documentation equipment (cameras, lights, tripods, recorders, etc) Presentation equipment (screens, projectors, speakers, microphones) Creation equipment (easels, presses, light tables, paper cutters, etc) Books about art theory, technique or history Books about business Exhibition catalogues for New Brunswick or Canadian exhibitions Books by local publishers Books about or by New Brunswick artists
Our drop-off days are as follows (from 10 am to 4 pm each day):
ArtsLink NB’s CATAPULT Arts Accelerator gives artists the tools to be prolific and build sustainable careers. Business skills training, career development, workshops, and mentorship – all in one program.
Artists need the work habits that would allow any entrepreneur or small business owner to succeed in his/her field.
As we set the agenda for the year ahead at our AGM on October 19th, we would like to create more opportunities to connect with our members and help better meet their needs.
To that end, our directors will be holding office hours, in person or online, throughout the rest of the summer.
The ArtsLink Community Studio is a flex space that can be booked by members free-of-charge for use as a short-term workspace, studio, meeting, or event space.
This initiative responds directly to member feedback which, across disciplines, outlines a lack of adequate studio spaces to create, rehearse, and share work.
