Women in Music Saskatchewan
WOMEN IN MUSIC SASKATCHEWAN
Started in 2018, Women in Music Saskatchewan (WIMS) is a gathering point for women (cis, trans, transfeminine) youth and adults working in any capacity and at any level in the Saskatchewan music industry.
We want to encourage dialogue around our challenges and triumphs, support each other, and build a sense of community while working to foster gender equality in the music industry.
We hope to grow this group to provide professional and creative development, and peer support through networking events, mentorships, and industry awareness. If you are working/participating/involved in the Sask music industry at any level, please join the conversation, attend events when you can, and join/follow our Facebook Women in Music Saskatchewan group posts.
We are looking for alternate apps to communicate with each other (suggestions welcome).
We have recently affiliated with Women in Music Canada to collaborate with information and coordinate programming. You can follow them on Instagram.
SaskMusic offers many different programs for members including one-on-one consultations, grant reviews/feedback, feature and much more. Please contact 1-800-347-0676 or email lorenakelly@saskmusic.org if you have questions or would like more information.
WIMS Coordinators for SaskMusic: Lorena Kelly and Brittney MacFarlane
