Indigenous Music Development Program (IMDP) — Performers Camp
The Indigenous Music Development Program (IMDP) at Manitoba Music was launched in 2004 to support First Nation, Inuit, and Métis artists and music companies as they build sustainable careers in Manitoba’s music industry. The program delivers projects and services that respond to the needs of the industry as identified by a steering committee.
Indigenous Music Performers Camp is a one-week professional and artistic development project that gives emerging and mid-career Indigenous recording artists a chance to develop their understanding of the music industry along with their ability to succeed in it. The project includes 12-hour days of business workshops, vocal coaching, marketing plan consultations, guitar lessons, and performance coaching.

Who can apply
The Indigenous Music Development Program's mandate is Manitoba, but we sometimes partner with other organizations and agencies on various initiatives that includes Indigenous participants from across Canada.
Indigenous people without legal documentation are still able to participate in projects run by the Indigenous Music Program (for example: Non-Status Indians or individuals who have been adopted by an Indigenous community).
About the funding
The Indigenous Music Performers Camp is able to help First Nations, Metis, and Inuit members of Manitoba Music complete their funding applications for sound recording projects.
