BC Music Fund
On February 11, 2016, the Province of BC announced the creation of the BC Music Fund, a $15-million investment to support the growth of B.C.’s music industry.
The BC Music Fund was administered by Creative BC through March 31, 2018, with the goals of stimulating direct investment, job creation, music tourism, increased regional activity, and the export of BC music. A full complement of funding programs were designed to stimulate economic growth and activity by investing in B.C.’s diverse music sector.
Based on feedback from stakeholders across B.C.’s music industry, Creative BC launched eight programs to support the careers of B.C. artists, live music performances, the development of music companies, training & export initiatives, research, innovation, and the growth of the B.C. music industry.
