Apply Today: Next Level Mentorship Program

Are you an early-career artist looking to grow your biz skills in a supportive, non-competitive space? Next Level from POP Montreal is back and we are currently taking applications for 15 artists to join the 2026 cohort. Next Level is a 3-day professional development program for Montreal area-based musicians in the early stages of their career. The project brings a cohort of 15 emerging artists through three days of skills training, mentorship, and networking opportunities specifically designed to meet their professional development objectives.
The 2026 program takes place in Montreal January 31, February 7, and February 15. Participants receive an honorarium, food, and an additional childcare and/or transportation honorarium upon request.
