FREE Residency & Recording Artist Development Program (RAD) Creative City Centre
Deadline to Apply: December 5, 2022
Deadline: December 5, 2022
Creative City Centre with the support of the Canada Council, we are now running the Recording Artist Development (RAD) Program for the second time.
This program will provide studio space for up to four weeks to write, rehearse and record original music. As part of that (nearly) month-long residency at the Creative City Centre, artists will have access to a professional audio engineer, plus limited access to producer, arranger, supporting musicians and videographer. They will be able to spend time creating and experimenting in the studio, as well as learn best practices when it comes to recording in a professional studio setting. They will learn how to prepare a budget for recording sessions and will also receive a one-year membership to SaskMusic to access their excellent professional development and industry support initiatives.
At the conclusion of the residency, artists will have both audio and video content that can be used for the development of an electronic press kit for festival applications, or for funding applications with granting agencies like Creative Saskatchewan or FACTOR to support further recording sessions at one of the many commercial recording studios operating in Saskatchewan.
During this program, artists have access to:
4-week access to a studio space
25 hours a week with a professional recording engineer*
$1500 towards industry professionals (producers, mentors, musicians etc.)
A videographer/photographer
*Please keep in mind, the time the engineer requires for mixing is part of the 25 hours per week.
Applications are now open. Applications close at 11:59pm on December 5th, 2022. Artists must live in the Regina area and must be working on original material. This program is limited to six artists/bands only, so we encourage interested emerging artists to submit their application as soon as possible. For more information, please email smmart@creativecitycentre.ca or call 306-546-5565.
The RAD Program is funded by the Canada Council for the Arts. The Creative City Centre is funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, Canadian Heritage, SK Arts, Creative Saskatchewan, and the City of Regina.
