Association of Performing Arts Presenters Announces Cultural Exchange Fund Application Schedule

Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, the Cultural Exchange Fund is a travel subsidy program that assists U.S.-based presenters working to build partnerships and collaborations with international touring artists, companies, and their collaborators to promote the display of work by artists from around the world in its own cultural context. In promoting cross-cultural arts programming, Arts Presenters strongly encourages travel to the following locations (including but not limited to): the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Arts Presenters will award travel subsidies to individual presenters, presenting organizations, and to groups of presenters traveling to see the work of artists, companies, and/or to develop and advance projects with international artists and their collaborators. All applicants must be active members of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. For-profit organizations are not eligible for Cultural Exchange funds. Cultural Exchange does not fund artists that are performing or traveling to meet with international presenters about performance opportunities, nor does it fund managers, agents, or producers working to expand business rosters. Arts Presenters will fund individual travel subsidies and group travel subsidies. The maximum amount awarded per individual organization, inclusive of travel costs and per diem, is $2,000. Group travel subsidies will be awarded only to groups of three or more presenters from different member presenting organizations. The maximum award for a group is $10,000, with no more than $2,000 awarded per organization. There will be rounds of funding between June 2009 and December 2010. Deadlines: May 14, 2010; and November 15, 2010. Application deadlines vary according to the planned travel period.
