About this opportunity
The Music Industry Development (MID) Investment Program is funded by New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture and managed by Music-Musique NB. It supports New Brunswick artists and music industry professionals in bringing projects to life, from recording and marketing new music to touring and professional development, backing activities that grow audiences, strengthen industry connections and move projects forward. This listing covers the LIVE PERFORMANCE component, which the organiser lists with a rolling deadline, accepting applications while funding remains available. That caveat matters: Music-Musique NB states that components on a rolling basis may see funding allocated quickly and encourages applicants to apply early, so treat rolling as first-come rather than open-ended. Applications for the 2026 to 2027 fiscal year opened on 1 April 2026. Other components run on fixed dates, for reference: Artist Development and Marketing closed 15 May and 15 September 2026, Sound Recording 15 June 2026, while Showcase, Professional Development and Business Travel are also rolling. No funding amount is published on the programme page; the figures live in the MID Guidelines, which the organiser asks applicants to review.
