Artists and arts organizations make meaningful contributions to Newfoundland and Labrador’s vibrancy, and the well-being of our communities. In continued celebration of the Year of the Arts and as part of Budget 2024, the Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is proudly announcing a Creative Projects Fund.
The fund is open to not-for-profit and for-profit professional arts organizations that have the creation and/or presentation of works of art as their primary activity. This includes professional arts organizations with a focus on performing arts; film, media, and digital arts; visual arts; literary arts; and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary arts.
The Creative Projects Fund presents a unique opportunity for professional arts organizations to pursue a single, large-scale and/or wide-reaching project of cultural significance.
Projects must meet two or more of the following criteria:
- Be presentation or market-ready in 2024.
- Be delivered in multiple regions of Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Be a new initiative or significant new extension of an existing project.
- Have secured a minimum of 30 per cent of the total project cost (excluding any operational expenses) from non-provincial government sources at the time of application.
The Creative Projects Fund will be delivered by Celebrate NL. Submissions can be made beginning on Monday, March 25, and are due no later than May 15, 2024. Submissions will be considered as they are received.
More information can be found on Celebrate NL’s website.

“The Creative Projects Fund is an exciting way to tip our hats to the arts and cultural sector in this province. With this fund, we are enabling professional arts organizations to pursue their ‘big ideas’ for the Year of the Arts. I am certain we are going to see some incredible results. I encourage all interested organizations to get their submissions in ahead of the May 15 deadline.”
