A new artist-in-residence program in New Brunswick is returning for another year this summer.
The Fresh AIR program is a collaboration between the provincial government and the New Brunswick Arts Board.
Ten artists will set up at a New Brunswick provincial park or tourism site over the course of five days, where they can produce work while engaging with the public.
Tourism, Heritage and Culture Minister Tammy Scott-Wallace said last year’s launch was an incredible success.
“This is one of the many ways we are supporting our province’s artistic community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,” Scott-Wallace said in a statement.
In addition, the program is expanding this year from five to 10 locations: Mactaquac, Herring Cove, Hopewell Rocks, Fundy Trail Parkway, Parlee Beach, Miscou Lighthouse, Village Historique Acadien, Sugarloaf, Jardin botanique du Nouveau-Brunswick, and Mount Carleton.
Selected artists will be offered an artist fee for participating in the residency and complimentary accommodations at their chosen site.
The deadline to apply is April 23. The program will take place from June 23 to August 29.
