ArtsNL

The Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council (ArtsNL) is a non-profit Crown Agency created in 1980 by the Arts Council Act. Its mission is to foster and promote the creation and enjoyment of the arts for the benefit of all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. A volunteer board of 13 people appointed by government, reflecting regional representation of the province, governs the Council. Council members serve on a volunteer basis for a three-year term. There are five full-time staff employed by the Arts Council. As a Crown Agency, the NLAC operates at arm's-length from the provincial government.
