Canadian independent artists and companies are very fortunate to have access to a wide array of grants that support recording, touring, promotion, and more. Nationally, there are the best-known music-focused grants from FACTOR and the Canada Council for the Arts, and then are a wide swath of grants from provincial governments that are administered through the MIAs and other programs.
On Oct. 28, 2022, for a free webinar from Canadian Musician and NWC, Editor-in-Chief Mike Raine was joined by producer and professional grant writer Andy Schichter to discuss the general best practices, common mistakes, useful tips, and more to help you maximize your chances of successfully applying for a grant. They also get into what grants are easiest and hardest to apply for, when in an artist’s career they should begin applying for grants, etc. They also took a lot of audience questions.
