Town Hall Series
ArtsLink NB is excited to launch a monthly series of virtual Town Halls to connect with, and better serve, our members.
Throughout 2026, we invite members to meet one another, participate in dialogue about the state of the arts sector, ask questions, and share ideas and resources. Each event will centre voices from different areas of the provincial arts ecosystem–we want to hear from and connect with everyone. These conversations will help to shape ArtsLink’s priorities and direction, and notes will be shared with members.
We look forward to hearing from you!

If you wish to join the Town Hall, please RSVP by emailing amy@artslinknb.com with “Town Hall [MONTH] 2026” in the subject line by 11:59 pm the Tuesday before, in order to receive the appropriate link on Thursday morning prior to the event.

Membership
Town Halls are for members, so please be sure to update your or your organization’s membership before sending your RSVP.
