Lending Library Donation Drive: 2025

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):

Please fill out the donation form below if you plan donate.

Documentation Day: Fredericton Area ?

The lack of proper, high-quality documentation of yourself and your work can be a major barrier in applying for and receiving artistic opportunities, including grants, residencies, and exhibitions.

Enter ArtsLink’s Documentation Days. We’ve got the set up and the photographer, you just need to bring your work and yourself!

The ArtsLink NB Community Studio

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.
