Canadian Musicians Cooperative

OMCI is an incredible not for profit who has fostered so many incredible opportunities for young artists and management workers alike to grow and learn new skills! I have experienced first hand how amazing their programs are, between the emerging artists program in the summer and the No More Starving Artists program, I can't wait to see how this relatively young organization continues to grow and thrive to support the community.

The people that work here are kind and fun loving. The staff has a wacky sense of humour and you get to take on projects that most places wouldn't assign to young workers.

OMCI helped me in so many ways! I was a part of the Summer Emerging Artist Program, and I was taught how to professionally develop my music career. I made a website, learned about grant writing, how to market my artistry, and even attended things like vocal workshops. I was always learning something. Even after the program, as a member there are still so many people and resources available to me as I start my professional career.
