    It’s an ideal time to highlight the ongoing Year of the Arts initiatives and the positive impact the arts and cultural sector has on the well-being of our people and communities.

    NL’s second annual Well-Being Week 2024 takes place from Sunday, September 22, to Saturday, September 28. It’s an ideal time to highlight the ongoing Year of the Arts initiatives and the positive impact the arts and cultural sector has on the well-being of our people and communities. Exploring an art gallery or museum or taking in a musical performance can help to lower stress levels and bring joy to the lives of participants. During Well-Being Week 2024, residents are encouraged to take some time to visit provincial cultural facilities, such as Provincial Historic Sites, and Arts and Culture Centres. Meanwhile, to date, through Year of the Arts funding in 2023 and 2024, government has committed $15 million in funding to celebrate Newfoundland and Labrador’s vibrant arts and cultural sector and the artists and arts organizations who comprise it.
