EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAM
Ready to take your music to the next level?
​
The Emerging Artist Program is a unique performance and professional development experience as part of the Cronulla Jazz & Blues Festival — designed to support early-career musicians who are building their profile and finding their place in the industry.
Selected artists will gain live performance opportunities, hands-on workshops, and access to industry mentors and venues, all focused on growing your local audience, sharpening your career skills, and turning your music into real work opportunities.
If you’re an emerging artist looking to expand your network, boost your visibility, and step confidently into the live music scene, this program is for you.
