Audience and Market Development
The Audience and Market Development Program is a cross-disciplinary program; it provides travel grants to promote knowledge and appreciation of Canadian arts; to enhance the development of Canadian artists’careers nationally and internationally; and to provide ongoing access to professional Canadian artists and their works by both Canadian and foreign audiences.
Note: Please read the guidelines carefully. This is a travel grants program with limited resources. As a result, this program provides support for very specific projects as outlined in the guidelines.
Along with its grants program and special initiatives, the Audience and Market Development Office maintains updated on-line directories of presenters, agents, festivals as well as other material useful to touring artists.
