AMP Camp 2010 list of invited artists
Manitoba Music’s Aboriginal Music Program is pleased to announce the list of invited artists for the 2010 edition of the Aboriginal Music Performers Camp (AMP Camp). A total of 34 strong applications were received, making the adjudication process both interesting and difficult.
AMP Camp is made possible by a partnership between Manitoba Music’s Aboriginal Music Program and the Music Section of the Canada Council for the Arts. The project provides the participants with the opportunity to develop their understanding of the music industry along with their ability to succeed in it. Each day of the five-day retreat includes close to 12-hours of professional development workshops on business topics and creative development labs to help the artists develop their music.
AMP Camp will be held at the Misty Lake Lodge in Gimli, Manitoba from March 21 - 26, 2010. The participants will benefit from the experience and expertise of a faculty of established artists and music industry professionals.
