As part of ArtsNL’s website redesign in 2021, a photo curation project was launched. The project’s intent was to use the ArtsNL website as a vehicle to improve representation of the diverse nature of the arts community in Newfoundland and Labrador. Selection of a photographer was done via RFP in August 2021. The project curation was carried out by Vaida Nairn.
