The MUTEK Market and Incubator are two complementary initiatives that fully embody the organization’s mission: to support and propel emerging forms of digital sound, music, and visual creation. Together, the Market and the Incubator reinforce MUTEK’s role as a catalyst for talent at the intersection of artistic experimentation and professional development.
Now welcoming its 6th cohort in 2025, the MUTEK Market has become a key platform for showcasing Canadian and Quebec-based artists in electronic music and digital arts.
The MUTEK Incubator, meanwhile, is supporting its 2nd cohort with a similar dynamic. This program is specifically designed for emerging artists, offering a tailored professional development pathway.
