Masterclass Pilot Project

Mar. 31–Nov. 14, 2025

Our Masterclass Pilot Project will see our camp ex-pats Rebel Grrrlz undertake an intensive 6 month mentorship program. Together we will realize their goals as a group, working through creative and industry understanding, developing their EPK, and take advantage of amazing community performance opportunities from partners like Calgary Stampede, Mint Records/Sled Island, and Purple City Music Festival. BAM! Camp Calgary will be developing our Masterclass program during this pilot project, with hopes to open it up to applications in coming years.

Key Impact Area: Empowering young musicians, fostering mentorship and inclusion.

Alberta spans five treaty territories and eight Métis settlements. Like their ancestors, many Indigenous individuals and families make their homes across the prairies, including the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation. The Métis People of Alberta include the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, both from here and as visitors from elsewhere, have helped care for these lands for generations. We recognize they have traditions and relationships to the land far outstretching the arrival of settlers.

We are extremely grateful for these lands on which we reside, work, and play. We make this acknowledgement as an act of gratitude and reconciliation. While championing the arts in Calgary and across Alberta, we intend for our work to contribute to the valuing of traditional art forms and result in greater opportunity for the creative Indigenous talent who walk these lands today.
