Usartists International
Category: Arts & Culture
DescriptionAs a program of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, USArtists International is committed to ensuring that the range of expression and creativity of the performing arts in the United States is represented at international festivals abroad. Through the Program, grants are available for American dance, music, and theater ensembles and solo performers invited to participate in international festivals anywhere in the world outside of the United States. Eligible applicants must be dance, music, or theater ensembles or solo artists, including practitioners of folk and traditional forms that work at a professional level. If an ensemble, a majority of members must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States. If a solo performer, be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. Eligible festivals must be sponsored or organized primarily by a non-U.S. based organization. They must be international in scope with representation from at least two countries outside the host country, or have a U.S. theme with representation from at least three U.S. ensembles and/or solo artists. They must reach a wide audience and be open and marketed to the general public. They must provide the applicant with a signed letter of invitation or a signed contract to perform at the festival. And they must provide some support to the invited artists/ensembles in the form of cash remuneration, paid travel-related expenses, or in-kind contributions. Applications sent by e-mail or fax will not be accepted. Additional information including an online application can be found on the Web site.
