Imagine a New Orleans where musicians have the resources to tour, venues are preserved as cultural anchors, and emerging and established music industry professionals have real opportunities to grow businesses and careers here at home. The New Orleans Music Industry Development Fund is designed to make that vision possible. Supported by a Large Event User Fee, the Fund will provide sustainable investment in venue support, workforce development, business education, and opportunities for local artists to showcase beyond the city. The goal is simple: to ensure New Orleans is not just where music comes from – it’s where music is going.
