Future Forest is an outdoor camping arts festival with a focus on electronic music. The festival originated in 2012 as a fundraiser for a friend and accomplished DJ, Jay Hamilton, who was diagnosed with cancer. Future Forest proudly embraces the perspective that there are no spectators at the event but rather participants who in some way contribute to the overall experience. Now in its eighth year of operation.
Located in the middle of a forest beside a river, far from any houses, Future Forest immerses its guests into the wilderness located just 30 minutes outside of Fredericton, New Brunswick. The festival features three unique stages that are built using the natural resources the forest provides. The tall trees and beautiful landscapes are utilized for stage construction.

Together, we invite Black visual artists who are post-secondary students or alumni from across the province to submit works on the theme of Resistance – Affirmation – Knowledge. Pieces selected from this call will form the new permanent collection of the Black Lives Matter New Brunswick organization.
Inspired spaces fuel inspired action. When surrounded by works of art made by, for, and with your community, the impact can be transformative. By shifting blank walls into galleries that reflect shared experiences and shared passions, folks who enter this space feel welcomed, engaged, challenged and energized. This is the aim of the project: to honour the work that is done, the people who do it, and the change it makes for our collective past, present, and future. Share your vision of “Resistance – Affirmation – Knowledge” for an exhibition that will tour the province before its final long-term display at the Black Lives Matter New Brunswick office in Saint John.
Those interested must submit their work by January 23, 2023. Selected works must be packaged safely for shipping and delivered by February 1, 2023.
