    This brings the total amount of funding to $15 million.

    Tourism Minister Steve Crocker has announced an additional $3 million for ArtsNL and year of the Arts. This brings the total amount of funding to $15 million. This funding will go towards ArtsNL along with the Year of the Arts lineup for Arts and Culture Centres across the province. Arts NL will support professional artists through existing grant programs and a second offering of the Senior Arts program. Funds will also be allocated specifically to support Indigenous artists. The enhanced programming will support more professional artists to focus on their artistic practice and create works during Year of the Arts.  Arts and Culture Centres will feature an exciting lineup of performances that showcase Newfoundland and Labrador artists, including provincial tours.
