ArtsNL announces the Annual Operating Program for Professional Arts Organizations 2024 grant recipients
April 29, 2024 (St. John’s, NL) – ArtsNL has invested $400,000 in 28 professional arts organizations from across the province through its Annual Operating Program for Professional Arts Organizations (AOPPAO).
The AOPPAO is available to professional not-for-profit arts organizations, spanning the artistic disciplines of dance, film, multidiscipline, music, theatre, visual art, and writing. This investment helps offset costs associated with the creation, presentation, and production of artistic work, including artist and technician fees, venue rentals, administration costs, and travel expenses. Applications are reviewed by a multidisciplinary peer assessment committee.
“ArtsNL remains dedicated to empowering artistic expression and fostering cultural enrichment,” said ArtsNL Executive Director, Melanie Martin. “This program supports professional arts organizations in developing and producing new works, planning and coordinating nationally renowned festivals, and offering professional development and career opportunities for artists.”
