About the Arts Atlantic Symposium

Presented by ArtsLink NB, the Arts Atlantic Symposium (AAS) is a three-day, multidisciplinary conference for artists and arts professionals across the Atlantic provinces. This symposium aimed to encourage arts sector growth and resilience by providing an opportunity for participants to gather, learn, connect, and collaborate, build working relationships within the industry on both regional and national levels, develop new skills and participate in professional development opportunities.

The Arts Atlantic Symposium highlights all disciplines, languages, and cultures in New Brunswick while engaging all of the Atlantic region in a significant discussion and learning opportunity on what elements of Atlantic art-making make our work unique. The symposium includes a public festival with live performances, art installations, and public exhibitions and an industry conference with keynote speakers, panels, and networking events.
