As Newfoundland and Labrador enters the early days of 2024, the Year of the Arts officially begins. This year, the province’s rich and vibrant arts and cultural sector and the artists who comprise it will enrich our communities with artistic creation, presentations and marquee events.

Since the Year of the Arts was announced in 2023, the Provincial Government has provided more than $4 million to support and enable projects for the year ahead. Many events are planned, showcasing the immense talent and creativity of Newfoundland and Labrador artists, with more to be released in the coming weeks.

In addition to igniting new inspiration and projects, the Year of the Arts aims to applaud the success of established arts and culturally related events by helping the community enhance them, taking them to the next level. The Year of the Arts also aims to position Newfoundland and Labrador as a creative and cultural hub where artists can live out their dreams of both creating art and making a living doing so.
