Featured Industry:Â The Okanagan Indigenous Music and Arts Society
The Okanagan Indigenous Music and Arts Society was born from the desire to produce an all-Indigenous music and arts festival that showcases the beauty and diversity of Indigenous contemporary and traditional culture. They saw an opportunity to lift up Indigenous artists and musicians in a culturally safe and supportive environment that fosters their talent and exalts their crafts. Their events are rooted in celebration and education and our mission is to provide premiere platforms for Indigenous expression and leave a legacy of capacity building for successful Indigenous economies.Their inaugural festival was met with overwhelming interest and we added a second stage in order to accommodate the incredible response. Professional development workshops with main stage artists for aspiring Indigenous musicians were an integral part of our festival because representation matters and knowledge does too.They have expanded our programming to include digital showcases, music video sponsorship, studio time and EP development.
