The City of Saint John, through the work of the Community Arts Board, offers two grant streams for artists and arts organizations to receive funding:
Artist in Residence Grants
Open to artists residing within the City of Saint John practicing in an artist medium including but not limited to:
- visual (painting, sculpture),
- literary (poetry, collective works),
- performance (dance, music, opera, theatre, musical theatre),
- new media (film, television, radio, audio, video, animation, digital), or
- multidisciplinary and the intersectionality therein.
There will be three rounds of Artist in Residence applications in 2024: January to April, May to August, and September to December.
Applications will be posted on this website under "Artist in Residence Application" when the call to artists opens.
Community Arts Funding Programs
Registered non-profit organizations incorporated in New Brunswick and located within the City of Saint John are eligible for Community Arts Board funding. If the applicant is an unincorporated non-profit, an eligible organization must accept funding on their behalf and partner with them on the project.
There are two rounds of Community Arts Funding in 2024: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter.
Applications will be posted on this on this website under "Application Form for Grants Funding" when the round is open.
