These funds help artists cover expenses related to travel, accommodation, and marketing, allowing them to reach new audiences and gain valuable performance experience. This aspect of Musicaction's funding is particularly crucial in expanding the reach of Francophone music beyond Canada's borders. For businesses and non-profit organizations, Musicaction provides targeted support for initiatives that enhance the infrastructure and capacity of the Francophone music industry.
