Ontario Arts Council
Music Creation Projects
Purpose
The program supports Ontario-based professional artists in creating original musical works. This program supports music creators at all career stages, working in all music genres/styles. The program has two categories:
- Self-directed creation: Projects where the applicant is an individual creator who is requesting support for composing/writing a new piece of music or body of work (for example, a song set). The applicant is taking their own initiative and making their own decisions about the music to be created.
- Commissioning: Projects where the applicant is an individual composer/songwriter working with a commissioner. The commissioner can be an individual artist, music group or non-profit arts organization, choreographer or dance company, who makes a commitment to give the proposed commissioned work a première.
Note: This program is not for recording activity. For recording projects, see the Music Recording Projects program.
Priorities
The program’s priorities are to support:
- projects that display exceptional creativity in composition and song-writing
- projects that enhance the range of music available to performers and the public
- projects that, in addition to the above, may contribute to arts education, public participation and community involvement in the arts in Ontario (for example, composition for children’s choir)
