The ARC program was launched Monday by the organization, billed “the voice of British Columbia’s music industry,” with a three-year funding commitment of $600,000 from the provincial government.

Applications from B.C.-based musicians are welcomed until May 15 on arcprogrambc.com. Fifteen participants will be picked for the first round of ARC from July to September, involving multi-day clinics and retreats along with a concert for fans and music-industry reps.
