The Fresh AIR (artist-in-residence) program will return for the 2021 summer season through a collaboration between the provincial government and the New Brunswick Arts Board, also known as artsnb.
The program will support 10 artists as they engage with the public and develop their artistic practice or existing projects over five days at a New Brunswick provincial park or tourism site.
“Last year’s launch of this program was an incredible success and we are happy to be able to expand it to even more locations this summer,” said Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Tammy Scott Wallace. “This is one of the many ways we are supporting our province’s artistic community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The 2021 Fresh AIR program will expand from five to 10 locations this year: Mactaquac, Herring Cove, Hopewell Rocks, Fundy Trail Parkway, Parlee Beach, Miscou Lighthouse, Village Historique Acadien, Sugarloaf, Jardin botanique du Nouveau-Brunswick, and Mount Carleton.
“For artsnb, the Fresh AIR program offer a double springboard: it allows our professional artists to meet new audiences in extraordinary contexts,” said Alain Boisvert, chairperson of the New Brunswick Arts Board. “This partnership brings new meaning to the accessibility of the general public to the exceptional works of professional New Brunswick artists.”
Selected participants will be offered an artist fee for participating in the residency and complimentary accommodations at their chosen site, if applicable.
“This program will provide opportunities for professional artists to express themselves, gain exposure and enhance their work portfolio,” said Scott-Wallace. “It will also offer New Brunswickers a better appreciation of culture and the arts while showcasing our artists and their creative process.”
The program will take place from June 23 to Aug. 29 and is open to all New Brunswick professional artists. Selected artists will choose their preferred location and submit an application, which will be reviewed by a selection committee.
The deadline to apply is April 23. The application and more information are available online.
L’installation Autobiographie Collective de Nicole Haché témoigne de son savoir et de sa sensibilité face aux relations interpersonnelles et à l’importance d’une symbiose collective. Œuvrant autrefois comme technologiste en laboratoire médical, Nicole conjugue l’histologie à une démarche artistique qui entrelace le savoir et la créativité. « Tels des individus évoluant en société, les cellules juxtaposées communiquent entre elles et coexistent en créant des liens intimes qui rendent la vie possible dans une symbiose organique, » d’expliquer Nicole Haché. Son installation célèbre la diversité, et permet une réflexion vis-à-vis de l’importance du rôle de chacun dans la communauté. Autobiographie collective a été créé lors d’une résidence de création interculturelle qui réunissait les communautés autochtones, francophones et anglophones du Nouveau-Brunswick.

I am so happy that this evening can take place ”, explains Carmen Gibbs, general manager of AAAPNB and producer of Éloizes.
The production and artistic direction of this special have been entrusted to Kevin McIntyre and the animation will be assumed by none other than Matthieu Girard.

March 16, 2021 – Music·Musique NB is proud to announce that Cal Johnson (photo below), of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, is the first recipient of the Indigenous Artist Development Program. The initiative was created to provide one emerging Indigenous artist with the tools, support and guidance to achieve a new musical project.
Multi-instrumentalist Cal Johnson plans to re-record traditional Wolastoqiyik songs, previously recorded by Elders from the Tobique First Nation community. The songs will be re-imagined in an EP format and include a full musical accompaniment, as the original recordings have no instrumentation apart from the traditional drum.
Cal Johnson will be supported throughout this project by Mi’kmaq artist Wolf Castle, from the Pabineau First Nation, as well as by the Music·Musique NB (MNB) team. Hip Hop artist Wolf Castle initiated the project to create more spaces where Indigenous voices can be heard.
“We hope that this pilot project becomes a full-fledged recurring program,” says Jean Surette, Executive Director of MNB. “Our goal is to widen the scope and support many more emerging Indigenous artists.”
Cal Johnson is currently residing in Truro, where he completed the Music Arts Program at NSCC.

Moncton, le 16 mars 2021 — Le gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick a présenté aujourd’hui un budget qui ne reconnait pas le tort que la pandémie lui a fait subir et qui maintient les arts et la culture comme parents pauvres dans la province. L’Association acadienne des artistes professionnel.le.s du Nouveau-Brunswick (AAAPNB) est déçue du manque de vision du gouvernement et du manque de soutien pour la relance du secteur des arts et de la culture.
Le budget ne reconnait pas que certains secteurs de l’économie se sont effondrés à cause de la pandémie. Un fonds de relance d’un peu plus de 7 millions de dollars a été annoncé au ministère Tourisme, Patrimoine et Culture pour contrer la pandémie. Ce fonds est cependant réparti entre plusieurs secteurs : les arts, la culture, le patrimoine, le tourisme, l’archéologie, les sports, les parcs et les attractions. À lui seul, le secteur du tourisme devrait s’accaparer plus de 40% de ce budget, si on se fie au succès du programme pour encourager le tourisme en 2020.
La pandémie de la COVID-19 a causé d’énormes dégâts à l’industrie des arts et de la culture au Nouveau-Brunswick. L’industrie qui rapportait 572 millions de dollars en 2018 et qui créait 7525 emplois a subi des pertes d’emploi de 17 % entre décembre 2019 et décembre 2020. Au Canada, les retombées économiques du secteur arts, spectacles et loisirs ont régressé de 50 % entre décembre 2019 (16 018) et décembre 2020 (8000).
Philippe Beaulieu, président de l’AAAPNB : « On se moque de nous en nous proposant un petit plaster. Il est inconcevable que le gouvernement ne comprenne pas qu’il faille soutenir le secteur des arts et de la culture qui est en crise à cause de la pandémie. S’il se désintègre, notre secteur ne pourra plus contribuer aussi bien à l’éducation, à l’innovation, à la cohésion sociale, à la rétention des jeunes, à l’expression des communautés. »
Le Premier ministre Blaine Higgs affirmait que l’économie de la province a repris presque en son entièreté. Ce n’est pas le cas de notre secteur. Le manque de volonté du gouvernement provincial de soutenir notre secteur risque de coûter très cher aux Néo-Brunswickois et Néo-Brunswickoise en pertes économiques et en pertes d’emploi pendant plusieurs années.
Le Nouveau-Brunswick compte sur une main-d’œuvre dans le secteur des arts et de la culture composée en grande partie de travailleurs et travailleuses indépendant.e.s et qui ne fait que croître avec les années. Cependant la pandémie frappe fort et, dans une étude récente, près d’un artiste sur deux songe à changer de carrière.
Carmen Gibbs, directrice générale de l’AAAPNB : « Je suis abasourdie de constater à chaque année que le gouvernement ignore toujours la valeur des arts et des industries culturelles au Nouveau-Brunswick. Notre secteur contribue à l’économie de la province davantage que le secteur de la foresterie, celui des pêches, de la construction résidentielle, ou même de l’extraction minière. C’est incompréhensible. »
L’Association acadienne des artistes professionnel.le.s du Nouveau-Brunswick est un organisme de services aux arts qui regroupe des artistes professionnel.le.s. Depuis 1990, elle a pour mission de promouvoir et de défendre les droits et les intérêts des artistes et de faire reconnaître leur contribution au développement de la société. www.aaapnb.ca

ACT NOW! :
The Arts and Culture Sector Needs Help
March 9, 2021 – ArtsLink NB and the Association acadienne des artistes profesionnel.le.s du
Nouveau-Brunswick (AAAPNB) are publishing today the English version of the report entitled
ACT NOW! For the Survival of the Arts and Culture Sector (MAINTENANT AGISSONS pour la
survie du milieu des arts et de la culture). This report is the result of two rounds of consultations
with 250 artists, arts and cultural organizations and businesses in New Brunswick to outline a
plan to revive the sector.
“Between January 2020 and January 2021, 17% of jobs in the information, culture and recreation
sector were lost in New Brunswick. The Canadian Arts, entertainment, and recreation sector
suffered a 50% loss in generated revenues between December 2019 and December 2020. Help is
needed more than ever in the sector. We would expect measures in the next budget to help the
industry.” Carmen Gibbs, Executive Director of AAAPNB.
Upon reading of the report MAINTENANT AGISSONS, ArtsLink joined forces with the AAAPNB to
translate the report as they recognized the issues, needs, and solution propositions were alike in
the Acadian and Anglophone communities.
“ACT NOW! For the Survival of the Arts and Culture Sector will be a key guiding document for
the recovery of New Brunswick’s arts and culture sector, and reflects tireless hours of
consultation and research. ArtsLink NB recognizes the importance of disseminating the
recommendations broadly to strengthen and protect the arts sector. We look forward to working
alongside our partners on the action items identified in the report.” Julie Whitenect, Executive
Director of ArtsLink.
The consultations were carried out, in June and October 2020, through the round tables of
the Renewed Global Strategy for the Integration of Arts and Culture into Acadian Society in New
Brunswick. This structure enabled the AAAPNB to quickly consult artists from all disciplines,
festival and event organizers, presenters and other artistic, cultural and heritage organizations,
as well as cultural businesses in the music, music and entertainment sectors, media arts and
publishers.
This report proposes six main courses of action for the sector to come back to life, ensuring that
all elements of the artistic ecosystem can survive the crisis. For the sector to succeed in the
short, medium and long term, the following recommendations should be followed:
• Ensure a solid foundation for the arts and culture sector, in particular thanks to the adoption by
the Government of New Brunswick of a law on the status of the artist, and provide for the
alignment of the procedures implemented with those federal government, and urging the federal
government to complete the review of the Copyright Act.
• Allocate a stimulus fund and new investments for the arts and culture sector, and tax foreign
web companies to finance these funds and investments.
• Strengthen artistic and cultural organizations and industries, in particular by providing more
funding for the basic operations of artistic and cultural organizations.
• Foster creation, distribution and professional development by increasing funds for the creation
and production of new works, by increasing funding for creative residencies, by granting an
additional amount to all presenters to ensure the maintenance of their activities and by creating
a fund to help artists and cultural workers to enable them to take the necessary training or have
access to professional resources to promote themselves on the Web.
• Stimulate demand for cultural products by putting in place a series of measures to restore
public confidence, encourage local purchasing and provide transport assistance.

The Fredericton Trails Coalition, in partnership with the New Brunswick Provincial Exhibition (NBEx), has just released a call for artists to create a mural along the two south-facing walls of the NBEx horse barns which run parallel to the City’s Valley Trail (between Smythe st and Rookwood, across from the Superstore parking lot).
The main goal of the mural is to address the ongoing graffiti and tagging of the walls and provide a safer, and more user-friendly experience for the neighbourhood and those using the City of Fredericton’s Valley Trail. We are aiming to have the mural completed by September 10, 2021.
The call for artists is being done in two phases: the first phase, which closes on March 31 2021, will qualify a maximum of five artists or artist collectives. At the second phase, the selected artists will be asked to submit a proposed design for the mural. A $500 honorarium will be paid to phase two artists. The winning proposal will be announced in early June, and the start date for painting the mural will be in July.
If you are, or know of, an artist or designer with experience creating murals, and would like to participate in this process, go to:www.frederictontrailscoalition.com to find more about the scope of the project and submission details.
