Arts International Invites Applications for International Touring Pilot Program
Deadline: October 1, 2004
With support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Arts International ( http://artsinternational.org/ ) is inviting applications for the International Touring Pilot program.
The program will make grants to individual performing artists and organizations to support travel expenses for touring outside the United States. These grants are intended to help ensure that audiences around the world see the range of expression of the U.S. performing arts, and to help support the creative and professional development of U.S. artists through the presentation of their work at significant international engagements worldwide.
To be eligible for the program, artist(s) must be performing artists (including traditional performing artists) working at a professional level; have a minimum three-year history of presentation as part of regularly scheduled seasons at performing arts venues; and be citizens or permanent residents of the United States. In addition, the tour must take place outside the U.S. and include a minimum of three consecutive performance engagements in different cities and/or countries; may only include a single international departure from the U.S.; and must take place after November 23, 2004, and conclude before December 1, 2005. Performance engagements must have non-U.S.-based organizations as primary presenters and be open to the general public and reach a wide public audience.
The International Touring Pilot program is particularly interested in supporting applicants touring in areas of the world where U.S. work is less frequently seen, such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Support will generally range from $1,000 to $10,000, and will primarily address the cost of international airfare from the U.S. Other costs eligible for support include travel between venues, per diem, lodging, shipping, visas, and artist's fees.
