Message from our Chair

Indu VarmaThe arts and culture play a vital role in defining us and giving us a sense of identity. It is the arts and culture that make our communities vibrant, alive and invigorating like the soul to a body. The mission of NBFA is to nurture, protect, and support the arts and culture in our province on a long term basis. This can only be accomplished through our collective efforts. The dedicated volunteers on our Board of Directors and I urge you to take charge and get involved in supporting the arts and culture whether it is through your purchase of an Art Bond or by becoming a patron, friend, or partner. Together we can, and we will make a difference!
