New Brunswick Professional Artist Accreditation: According to the Status of the Artist Act professional artists are entitled to national industry fee standards and detailed contracts. Professional Artist Accreditation is a way of protecting these new employment rights. Accredited professional artists will appear in a public database, creating a visible network of professional artists that can be used by engagers across government, the cultural sector, and the wider community. Accreditation is completely voluntary. Artists can continue their practices and work for organizations and entities without being accredited. However, artists who wish to compete for certain government contracts and commissions will need to be accredited to qualify for these opportunities.

The Creative Wellness Program is a transformative initiative designed to uplift and support the mental health of New Brunswick’s artists. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by artists — such as precarious employment, limited access to affordable mental health care, and the emotional toll of creative work — the program provides a safe and accessible space for healing and growth. Over three months, 25 artists will have the opportunity to engage in free, personalized counseling sessions tailored to their specific needs. Each participant will receive six, hour-long sessions with one of ten highly skilled counseling interns, trained to provide compassionate and effective mental health support.
