Studio 200, Toronto, ON (Canada's Music Incubator x Coalition Music)

Shoots Conceptualized and Executed by The Gift Shop Program Alumni and Media Pass Emerging Artist Program Participants

 

We are thrilled to share our collaboration with Canada’s Music Incubator! 

We teamed up with CMI to offer 18 program alumni and participants from The Gift Shop and the Media Pass Emerging Artist Program a three-day residency filled with collaboration, experimentation, and portfolio-building.

As part of the launch for Canada’s Music Incubator (CMI) and Coalition Music’s new Studio 200 space, we offered free two-hour booking slots to our emerging musicians and photographers. Program participants were given rare access to a fully equipped professional studio environment at no cost. Each session was crafted to support content creation and artistic development to the Toronto creative community.

The event brought together artists from Media Pass’s Emerging Artist Program and alumni of The Gift Shop’s “Living Room Concerts” to conceptualize and execute creative shoots. These collaborations gave participants a chance to expand their portfolios, explore new creative ideas, and strengthen their professional networks.

Congratulations Canada’s Music Incubator (CMI) and Coalition Music on this beautiful new space! If you haven’t already, check out Studio 200 – a creative space designed to empower artists, creatives, and cultural entrepreneurs.
