Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre, in St Andrews, NB is calling for submissions from professional artists to undertake a two-week residency at the Centre to be completed before the end of April 2024.

 

Sunbury Shores Arts and Ecology

The 2023-24 Artist in Residence Program consists of two residencies for two weeks each in one of four Sunbury Shores’ studios – print studio, ceramics studio, metal studio, or painting/drawing studio. The goal of the residency is to provide a supportive environment where artists can pursue specific projects relating to their creative work.

The artists in residence will also contribute to the promotion and understanding of the arts by means of the artists’ contact with
the community, Sunbury Shores members, and visitors.

Sunbury Shores was established nearly 60 years ago as an arts and nature centre; this collaboration between the environment and the arts continues to inform the vision for the centre. As part of the residency, artists will have the opportunity to engage with Sunbury Shores members and the public through a short talk, presentation, or artistic engagement while
undertaking their residency.

The selected artists (2) will receive a stipend of $2,500 each for the two-week residency (for accommodation, meals, transportation, and materials).

This is a competitive application process with review of applications by a jury of Sunbury Shores staff, community members and professional artists. The 2023-24 Artist in Residence program at Sunbury Shores is funded through the generosity of the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation.

The 2023-24 Artist in Residence application form can be downloaded here.

The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2023 at 11:59 AST.

Carte Blanche Acadie 2024: An Evening of Dance Call for Submissions 📃

We are preparing for the 5th edition of Carte Blanche Acadie! Organized in partnership with the Association acadienne des artistes professionnel.le.s du Nouveau-Brunswick (AAAPNB), ArtsLink NB, and the Aberdeen Cultural Centre, Carte Blanche Acadie offers a performance opportunity for dancers from New Brunswick and the Atlantic provinces, whether they are Francophone, Anglophone, First Nations or allophone. Through this event, we hope to create strategies and develop the dance community together, since dance is an art form free of language barriers.

 

Carte Blanche Acadie: An Evening of Dance

 

The 5th edition of Carte Blanche Acadie will take place on January 27th, 2024, at the Bernard-LeBlanc Hall at the Aberdeen Cultural Centre, Moncton, NB, at 8 p.m. The event will be followed the next day by a business meeting to discuss the development of the dance scene. This meeting will be conducted in both official languages, English and French, at the Aberdeen Cultural Centre. This is a wonderful opportunity to come to Moncton for a weekend dedicated to the Art of Dance!
Carte Blanche Acadie (January 27th, 8PM-10PM)

 

The aim of Carte Blanche Acadie is to offer a platform adapted to the needs of dance artists during which they can present work. The maximum length of each presentation will be 10 minutes. Whether the project is in the research stage, in development or about to be completed, the only criteria to participate is to have something to share. Even improvisation is more than welcome. You would only have to specify what you would like to show in the application form. The presence of peers and an informed audience will allow you to have feedback on your work whether it is vocal or sensory.

 

Presenting, sharing and discussing in an inclusive environment are the objectives of Carte Blanche. In addition to providing a platform to perform, we will be providing a video of your performance as well as photographs that you can use for grants and future applications. Each act will receive an honorarium. The money accumulated at the door (in the form of a voluntary contribution) will also be divided equally between the acts and given to the person/company who submitted the project.
As for the selection process, we would like to accept as many projects as possible, but if we do not have enough time, as we will only have 2 hours for the event, we will draw candidates by lottery. Preference will be given for artists from the Atlantic provinces.
The chosen artists will be responsible for covering their own travel and accommodation expenses. Nevertheless, we can supply a letter of invitation to those who wish to submit a travel grant application. It may also be possible to find housing among local artists.

 

Please fill out the attached application form here.
The deadline for submissions is Thursday, August 24th, 2023.

 

We will let you know by the end of August / beginning of September if your application was successful.
