The Northern Turtle Island Collective is arriving in New York for APAP!
Folk Canada, Global Toronto Music Festival, International Indigenous Music Summit, and Mundial Montréal are once again joining forces under the banner of the Northern Turtle Island Collective (NTI) at APAP.
On the agenda: professional networking activities and unique artist showcases to continue building bridges between Canada, Quebec, and the rest of the world. Together, we are creating unforgettable experiences for artists and industry leaders alike.
The Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) is a leading organization that supports and advocates for the performing arts sector through its services, network, and membership program. Since 1957, it has played a key role in the development of the performing arts industry, offering professional development, networking opportunities, grants, and advocacy. Its annual event, APAP|NYC, brings together professionals from around the world to celebrate and shape the future of the performing arts.
For the team at Mundial Montréal, it is an ongoing honor to participate in this unmissable gathering. APAP is much more than a conference – it’s an exceptional platform to connect with international industry leaders, share ideas, and chart new paths for the future of music.
