Typically, the Community Presenters’ Program provides an investment for non-profit organizations or societies committed to providing musical experiences for their communities by supporting 30% of Nova Scotian artist fees. Due to necessary restrictions mandated by public health, the 25% support is currently not adequate to prevent venues/organizations from taking a loss on shows. Music Nova Scotia will now support 30% of Nova Scotian artist fees and increase the investment limit to $1,000 per application submitted and $10,000 per Music Nova Scotia fiscal year (April 1 – March 31).
