M•C•M (MUSIC · CAREER · MENTORSHIP) is a project that is designed to train artists to manage themselves and give them the resources they need to develop their art and advance their careers while living in NB. The project runs from October to March. The training is divided into different components, each dealing with a different subject. The training requires a certain investment on the part of the artist. The artist must want to evolve in their art and career. The goal is to apply the knowledge acquired in each component to their career to emerge more equipped and with a solid base.
