MacEwan University’s Department of Music has partnered up with TD Bank Group for the 2026 TD Music Artist In Residence program running from August 4, 2026 – August 16, 2026.
It’s a two-week intensive program supporting emerging Alberta-based songwriters, producers, beat-makers and band leaders through immersive creative and professional development.
Participants will engage in private studio sessions, workshops and masterclasses spanning songwriting, recording, performance, production, career strategy, marketing and funding.
Workshops will be held from MacEwan’s Department of Music and Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications alongside alumni mentors and visiting industry professionals. Sessions include topics such as publishing, co-writing, royalty streams, grant-writing and audience development.
In 2025, the TD Music Artist in Residence program was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Community Excellence, recognizing its impact on artist development and community-building within the Canadian music ecosystem.
This program is open to Alberta residents aged 18 and over.
