Koerner Hall Now Even More Accessible for Arts Presenters

The Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall has always had subsidies in place to enable arts groups to be able to perform in this acoustically superb space and benefit from the production and sales experience that the RCM can offer. A home to nearly 80 not-for-profit arts organizations, Koerner Hall provides a platform for diverse voices that reflect our heritage, our culture, and our shared human experience. Now, a new program, My Piece of the City, will make performing in this acclaimed space even more affordable. 

My Piece of the City, a partnership with the Daniels Corporation, will provide full or partial financial assistance to subsidize Koerner Hall’s rental fee, as well as other costs directly related to producing concerts and events. This financial assistance is for culturally specific, ethno-cultural, and equity seeking arts and non-profit groups, artist collectives, individual artists, or large organizations engaging, promoting, or presenting artists from priority groups such as Indigenous peoples, newcomers to Canada and immigrants, racialized communities, ethno-cultural or culturally specific groups, 2SLGBTQIA+, members of official language minority communities, persons with disabilities, and others. 

The deadline to apply for My Piece of the City has just been extended to August 1, 2024, to enable even more arts organizations the opportunity to take advantage of this program for projects, events, and concerts occurring between September 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025. Applications will be adjudicated by a community jury, followed by program participant selection, notification, and orientation. The successful projects will be administered by the Events team of The Royal Conservatory of Music's Performing Arts Division.
