Artist Development Program


The Artist Development Program offers a $2,000 subsidy toward one year of artist development activities including sound recording, touring & showcasing, video production, marketing and promotion. These activities must be detailed in an Artist Development Plan, which will be submitted to FACTOR as a required element of the application.

With your application, you must submit:

  • An MP3 of a recent demo along with lyrics, known as the Assessment Track
  • A current Artist Biography (uploaded to your artist profile)
  • An Artist Development Plan, which sets out all the intended artist development activities to be undertaken if the project is approved for funding

At the end of the Artist Development year, successful applicants are required to deliver to FACTOR one new, previously unreleased, professional quality sound recording, called the Delivery Track.

Application Deadline:

  • September 27, 2018
  • January 31, 2019
