To ask what is meant is to wonder about the shape of an hour, how to fit the body to its frame, how a husk of prayer can encase a name. Vanessa Moeller

A native of Grand Manan, Sara received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, as well as a Bachelor of Education from the University of New Brunswick.

“It is our goal to create a community culture here in New Brunswick, where the arts are seen as an essential element in our society and economy, and where they are treated with value and respect. I am thrilled to join the ArtsLink NB organization, and am deeply interested in bringing the provincial arts community closer together by collaborating with both Anglophone and francophone sectors,” says Sara Griffin.

Pay special attention to page 27. There, you will see the foundation of this work, the first and most important step for the anglophone arts sector in New Brunswick. It is the inclusive definition of a group of people- by history, language and region- that lead to the creation of this book.

This ground-breaking planning document has been translated into English in order for members of ArtsLink NB and the whole of anglophone New Brunswick to learn about the process of defining a society’s future by identifying its important arts and culture characteristics.

Many thanks to translator Joanne Elder, graphic designer and project enjoliteur Raymond Theriault, the government of New Brunwsick Art Development Branch, Heritage Canada and l’AAAPNB for their support and partnership.
