Market Access Fund

Submissions now open
Rolling deadline until March 1, 2021

The purpose of this program is to support Manitoban artists and music industry professionals in expanding their network and team to export markets across Canada and around the world.

These development opportunities can include having access to market consultants, attending virtual conferences, and developing new markets using web tools.
