Supporting the Next Generation of Performing Artists

2026 HYPE applications are now closed. 

We thank all applicants for their interest and submissions.

HYPE is MPMG’s annual grant program to help support emerging Canadian artists, across all performing artistic disciplines,  in the presentation of a new work. 

HYPE is part of MPMG’s ongoing efforts to support, train, and mentor the next generation of performing artists through the donation of marketing services. HYPE will provide Media Relations, Digital Marketing, and Consulting support to raise the profile and awareness of the recipient’s new work, while simultaneously helping prepare them for ongoing success by providing training, mentorship, and marketing resources in preparation for future presentations.

The 2026 HYPE recipient will be announced the week of November 3, 2025.
