Public Art Calls & Projects

The New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture invites professional artists to submit proposals to design, create and install public artwork at new government buildings or renovated buildings following the Public Art Policy for New Brunswick. This page provides an overview of past and current public art projects, as well as Calls to Artists to apply for future projects. Once works are created and installed, they become part of collection ArtNB (formerly The New Brunswick Art Bank).
