Convergence

The landscape is changing… but we’re still here. What models of creative collaboration can we explore together as we greet this different world?

Join us for three days of performances, installations, exhibitions, presentations, and discussions about the future of art in Atlantic Canada.

Artistic encounters provide an exchange of ideas, a form of communication that lives at the heart of community.

It is how we share (and transform) stories about ourselves and our society.

This is the foundational question of FUTURE POSSIBLE, the inaugural Arts Atlantic Symposium – a multidisciplinary arts festival and conference. Join us for three days of performances, installations, exhibitions, presentations, and discussions about the future of art in Atlantic Canada.

TEXT

As a provincial entity, ArtsLink NB acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We, the members of ArtsLink NB, pay respect to the descendants of this land and to the elders — past and present. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous People in this land that is called New Brunswick.

We would like to acknowledge the generous support from:
