Registration Now Open for Artist-Focused Meetup

June 23 - 25, 2022 at the West End Cultural Centre

We’re ready to dive into the music business this summer with Sound Waves Music Meeting (SWMM), our new artist-focused meetup! Running June 23 - 25 in Winnipeg, the event will host music industry mentors from across Canada and beyond for specialized masterclasses, interactive performance coaching, discussion groups, panels, and networking, including dedicated programming for Francophone artists.

Building on the foundation of the long-running January Music Meeting and last year’s virtual Catalyst Music Meeting, SWMM is an opportunity for the local music community to learn from a cross-section of experts and peers, build new connections, and share experiences. This edition will cover critical music topics on the road to pandemic recovery and offer concrete advice on how to grow your creative skillset and career.

Live music will be on deck with a two-stage showcase at the West End Cultural Centre and its patio. Join us on Saturday, June 25 for a packed lineup of emerging local acts during the Ellice Street Festival!

SWMM is made possible by the support of FACTOR and the Government of Canada, Musicaction, the Province of Manitoba, and Manitoba Film & Music.
