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. Application guidelines are found here: mural-application-guidlines.pdf (ipage.com)

St. Andrews, NB —The Charlotte County Archives (CCA), located in St. Andrews, has just launched an
exciting new website and has adopted a vibrant new look and feel. These initiatives will help citizens
around the province, and beyond, access new digital files and photos with the click of a button.
Board Chair Franklin Cardy says of these developments, “We have been working towards making our
holdings accessible to the public over the past year and our new website is the culmination of that work.
Increasingly, people want to be able to view documents online, either for research purposes, to discover
more about their roots, or to learn more about our rich history. And during this pandemic it is safer and
easier for people to learn more through online searches.”
The initial funding for the website was a $5,000 grant from the Provincial Department of Tourism,
Heritage and Culture — Museum Services. This Digital World and Social Media grant enabled CCA to
contract the services of Loyalist City Web Design to create a beautiful and functional new website,
where you can see what collections CCA has in its environmentally protected vault. You can read lists of
church records, microfilm, and library holdings. You can also read about items of genealogical interest
and see a myriad of archival photos. https://ccarchives.ca/
A second grant, from Young Canada Works, is funding an internship focused on the creation of a digital
vault for the storage of digitized documents. This will provide guidelines for accessioning, and training
for community partners on how to collect and index holdings. Keith MacKnight has been hired as the
intern and, working with Archives Manager Heather Wilson and Board members, he will showcase the
digital resources of the Archives. Hundreds of new digitized records and 25,000 digitized photos show
the readiness of the CCA to further adapt to COVID-19 protocols.
Graphic designer Elaine Wilson, working with the Archives positioning committee, has designed the
strong new logo, which appears on the new website and will be used in future communications and
signage.
In February, CCA hosted a Heritage Fair at the Garcelon Centre, where like-minded archival and historic
community groups encouraged the Archives to become a hub for all such groups in the County. A new
listing on the CCA web site will unite these groups in a shared goal of preserving the past, including
events happening as recently as yesterday. The Charlotte County Archives encourages people to label
their own digital photos clearly for future users and invites citizens from Charlotte County to consider
sending items of historic interest to the Archives for careful preservation.
