Emerging Artist Program
Simcoe County 2020
We are now receiving "soft hold" requests for a Summer 2020 Emerging Artist Performance to support community events, festivals, fairs, and small business celebrations in our partnered municipalities.
Revised program dates are June 1 (Online events only) - Oct 31, 2020. We will continue to support online events again through the winter months November 1 2020 - Feb 28, 2021 or for as long as the program is funded.
Please fill out the attached form and provide as much detail about your event as possible so we can make an informed decision.
We expect to provide confirmations beginning early in May, and will contact the earliest events first.
The Emerging Artist Program is offered pending funding support from the Federal Government, and partnerships with local municipalities.
UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, our Emerging Artists will not be performing in person in the community during May - Aug. We are still accepting requests for Sept - October, and will address these on an ongoing basis, informed by the best practices suggested by local, provincial and federal authorities.
After we receive our funding notifications, there will be updates on how the OMCI team will be supporting community efforts for COVID-19 online in 2020.
