This Spring, many of us had to think about our priorities, make changes, and deal with some flaws that surfaced. Confined, we saw Spring arrive, and without even knowing it, the season gave us hope. Now we are entering a darker season. This exhibit provides you with a space to reflect on the past few months. And, in order to start the Winter without the burdens accumulated since Spring, we offer you a ceremony on letting go.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Professional Artist / Professional with experience in the artistic sector
Dialogue New Brunswick (DNB) will receive until November 23, 2020 applications from professional artists or professionals with experience in the art sector who have an excellent knowledge of New Brunswick’s artistic community and who are familiar with interpreting the artwork. The successful candidate will accompany Dialogue NB in the design and implementation of the “Artistic Expression” component of its upcoming public consultation.
CONTEXT
Dialogue NB is a non-profit organization, led by a volunteer board of directors, with a mandate to help the Province of New Brunswick to be a more socially cohesive community. More information about Dialogue NB can be found in the enclosed Appendix.
As part of its mandate, Dialogue NB will launch a public consultation at the end of November to survey in-depth the state of social cohesion in New Brunswick and amplify New Brunswickers’ voices. This consultation is part of a two-step process.
Phase 1: During the first six (6) months (from November 30, 2020, to May 31, 2021), all New Brunswickers will be invited to express themselves on what social cohesion mean to them (ideal vision, challenges, issues, etc.). They will have the choice between six ways of expression, which will open up gradually as the consultation progresses. Upon launching in November, a survey (online), an open forum (online), and the opportunity for representatives of organizations to meet and dialogue at Government House will be offered. In early 2021, three new components will be added: “Public Dialogues”, “Artistic Expression” and “Youth section” (Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary levels). The findings of the consultation will be made public at the end of this six months period. They will also be submitted to the Lieutenant-Governor, the Honourable Brenda Murphy, in addition to the Premier and other key decision-makers in New Brunswick.
Phase 2: Based on the results of this consultation and its data, Dialogue NB will define a reading portrait (report) of the province’s social cohesion challenges: this report will serve as the basis for reflection on the development of solutions by and for New Brunswickers. The duration of the second phase is also six (6) months long, from June 2021 to December 2021.
