For Immediate Release
Grant-Writing Workshops in Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton and Tracadie-Sheila

Wondering how to access provincial funding for your music project? Having difficulty with applications? Music New Brunswick in partnership with the Province of New-Brunswick is pleased to present a workshop on how to write a grant proposal under the Music Industry Development Program (MID).
Offered by the Department of Wellness, Culture and Sport, the MID Program is designed to promote the development and the growth of New Brunswick’s music industry through sound recordings of musical works by encouraging artistic expression with commercial potential. Through its Production and Promotion Grants for Music Sound Recordings component, the Program offers multiyear grants to New Brunswick artists and music industry entrepreneurs. This support provides successful applicants with financing to help cover the cost of production, marketing and promotion of music sound recordings.
The full workshop dates and schedule is provided below.
During these workshops, Music Consultant, Murielle Savoie will explain:
- the MID Program eligibility criteria
- granting priorities
- how to complete an application form
- what must be included in your application
- the dos and don’ts of writing grant applications
- how your application will be assessed
- if you’re successful
- about unsuccessful applications
- links and useful resources
Q and A period will follow this presentation so if you are going to be applying for the MID Program which the next annual deadline is February 15th, 2010, this is a must attend workshop!
The workshop is free, but you must RSVP to marissa@musicnb.org or call (506) 383-4662 by December 14th, Monday morning.
