Association of Performing Arts Presenters Accepting Applications for Cultural Exchange Fund Awards

The Association of Performing Arts Presenters recognizes that promoting global exchanges of artists and their work is essential to fully engage audiences and communities in the breadth and diversity of the performing arts experience and provide an opportunity for presenting professionals to expand and deepen their knowledge of artists, traditions, and cultures from around the world.

With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Cultural Exchange Fund provides travel subsidies to help United States-based presenting professionals and their organizations and companies build partnerships and collaborations with touring artists, companies, and their collaborators in other countries and experience their artwork in its own cultural context.

Travel subsidies will be awarded to individual presenting professionals (including agents, managers, and producers), presenting organizations, and to groups of presenting professionals traveling to see the work of artists and companies, or to develop and advance projects with international artists and their collaborators.

All applicants must be active members of APAP. New applications from previous CEF grantees are welcome.

CEF does not fund for-profit organizations that cannot demonstrate a mission and history of relationship building or project development that serves the presenting field, presenting organizations, or a particular community.

APAP strongly encourages but does not limit travel to the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

The maximum amount awarded per organization, inclusive of travel costs and per diem, is $2,000. Group travel subsidies will be awarded only to groups of three or more individuals from different APAP-member presenting organizations. The maximum award for a group is $10,000, with no more than $2,000 awarded per organization in the group.

The deadline is November 16, 2012, for the travel period January 2013 to May 2013.
