Music Nova Scotia Updates to the Investment Programs

Submitted by lisastitt on Fri, 2020-05-22 10:42

Dear Nova Scotia Music Community,

It is an understatement to say that COVID-19 has upended the music industry. Many of Music Nova Scotia’s Investment programs are currently untenable with daily event cancellations and current travel restrictions.

Music Nova Scotia has been consulting frequently with the province, industry leaders, and artists to assess where current opportunities and needs exist in our sector and how best to respond.
