Find Nonprofit and Small Business Grants

Grants to New Brunswick individual artists for the production of original arts projects. Funding is intended to allow artists to research, develop, and implement creative works in a range of artistic disciplines such as dance, media arts, theater, literary, music, and visual arts. Funding amounts will be determined according to the artist's skill level and professional history.

Creation Grants are intended to allow artists to devote some or most of their time to research and creative production. There are three categories under the Creation program:

- Category A: For senior artists who have achieved a superior level of accomplishment and who have made a nationally or internationally recognized contribution to their discipline or to the arts in general.
- Category B: For mid-career artists who have been practicing professionally in their discipline for a sustained period of time, and are able to demonstrate a regionally or nationally recognized contribution to their discipline or to the arts in general.
- Category C: For emerging artists who can demonstrate their commitment to the development of specialized skills or knowledge in their discipline and who are producing a growing repertoire or body of work.

Eligible artistic disciplines include architecture, craft, dance, literary arts (including spoken word, storytelling, literary performance and literary translation), media arts, multidisciplinary arts, classical and non-classical music, theatre and visual arts. For Project Eligibility Criteria by Discipline, see http://artsnb.ca/site/en/files/2018/11/Desc_CR.pdf#page=13.

Eligible genres for all artistic disciplines include those whose intent and/or content places creativity, self-expression and/or experimentation above the current demands and format expectations of the mainstream industry, and has a significance beyond being solely a form of entertainment.
