MusicNL’s Touring and Professional Development programs will reopen on Friday, February 13, 2026.

Application intake will resume on a monthly basis.  The next deadline is Saturday, February 28 at 11:59 PM NST. The evaluation and jurying begins immediately after the monthly intake deadline. Results will be distributed 4 weeks after the deadline for the applicable submission round.

Retroactive Applications – APPLICABLE for February 28 intake only

Exceptionally, for the February 28, 2026 intake, we will be accepting applications for projects that took place while these programs were closed (October 17, 2025 to February 13, 2026). Please note that retroactive projects must still adhere to the general eligibility requirements of each program to be considered.   

February 28, 2026 is the final deadline to submit applications for projects that occurred during this period. After this date, projects that took place while the funding program was closed will no longer be eligible for support.

Important: Approved funding amounts will be determined based on program demand and available budget. Not all applications will be approved, and approved projects may receive partial funding.

Additional Funding Resources

Given that MusicNL funding cannot be relied upon to cover 100% of project costs, we encourage all applicants to apply for additional funding through agencies such as FACTOR, SOCAN, ArtsNL, and the Canada Council for the Arts. These resources can help maximize support for your projects. For a list of showcase funding resources, and more tips about accessing funding, visit our Online Learning Library.
