Important Notes
- AMM needs to be able to market artists to its audiences, so promotional photos and video content are just as important as the music.
- AMM takes music to Indigenous and newcomer families, so performers may be required to provide a child abuse registry check for all members and support staff.
- AMM relies on project grants, which often come closer to its festival and concert dates, so performance offers might not be sent out until April.
- Submissions or updates are not required from artists that AMM has already contacted for performances in 2023.
- AMM will keep submissions on file for consideration in 2024.
Please email Alan Greyeyes ([email protected]) if you have any questions.
Aboriginal Music Manitoba (AMM) acknowledges the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council, and the Winnipeg Arts Council for their financial support of the sākihiwē festival and AMM’s outreach programming.
