Usartists International
Category: Arts & Culture
DescriptionUSArtists International, part of the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, has announced a major expansion of the national initiative that’s solely dedicated to promoting the work of American performing artists abroad. The previous initiative was limited to supporting dance and music ensembles invited to perform at international festivals in Europe. The expanded initiative will support dance and music ensembles invited to perform anywhere in the world outside of the United States. The program will also support American theater companies and solo performances in all performing arts disciplines. Eligible festivals must be sponsored or organized primarily by a non-U.S. based organization; 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. performing groups. In addition, the festivals must reach a wide audience and be open and marketed to the general public; provide the applicant with a signed letter of invitation or signed contract to perform at the festival; and provide some support to the invited ensembles. The support can take the form of cash remuneration, paid travel-related expenses, or in-kind contributions. Deadlines are Jan. 9, 2009 for projects taking place between March 1, 2009 and Feb. 28, 2010 and May 4, 2009 for projects taking place between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Additional information is available on the Web site.
