The Government of Canada recently announced the Unison Fund as a recipient of the Canada Performing Arts Workers Resilience Fund. Unison provides financial and mental health assistance and will use this funding to help live music professionals via their new funding stream, the Live Music Workers Fund.
The International Day of Pink and the Unison Fund are proud to support each other to help queer and trans artists (in music industry spaces) with financial support following the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes folks who are: drag performers, music artists (singer/songwriters), and those affiliated with performers (such as: booking agents, composers, producers, and retailers (costume, make-up, wigs…).
Eligible applicants who provide a complete application may receive $2500 of financial support.
The Fund will open soon, however, we encourage artists to sign up to be the first to be notified when the opportunity opens.
