Funding Opportunities for B.C. Artists
Support is available for activities that foster the career growth of both emerging and established artists in British Columbia. Project budgets must allocate a minimum of 50% towards expenses based in B.C.
Applicants can apply for a single activity or a combination of the following:
- Sound recording activities, including singles, EPs, and LPs in the form of original music, covers, remixes, and interpretations of existing music. Recordings can be in any genre or language, including instrumental works. This program does not support songwriting, commissions, or the creation of new works prior to recording. Recordings supported through this program must be intended for commercial release.
- Music video production, including visualizers, short-form video, official music videos, prerecorded and live-streamed performance videos, and other promotional video content that supports a B.C. artist. Live-streamed videos must continue to be available after the live stream as a permanent promotional asset.
- Marketing activities, including photography, digital media, websites, bio writing, publicity, social media marketing, tour promotion, or radio promotion. Vendors may be Canadian or international, although hiring B.C. vendors is strongly encouraged. This program may support the manufacturing of a limited amount of merchandise for promotional purposes, but not for sale.
