Chamber Music America Invites Applications for 2013 Residency Partnership Grants
Chamber Music America Invites Applications for 2013 Residency Partnership Grants
Chamber Music America's Residency Partnership Program supports projects by ensembles and presenters to build audiences in community settings for classical/contemporary, jazz, and world chamber music.
Funding is specifically aimed at activities that take place in community settings and that are not part of a regular concert series. These activities may include, but are not limited to, clinics, interactive classroom programs, and lecture/demonstrations in libraries, hospitals, senior centers, social service organizations, youth clubs, local cultural centers, and public and private schools, or similar venues. In general, organizations or businesses that provide public services to their local populations are considered eligible community partners. Projects must take place in the United States or its territories.
Applicants must be U.S.-based ensembles or not-for-profit presenters partnering with ensembles. The organizing and ensemble partners must be CMA organization-level members. The community groups involved in the residency need not be CMA members.
The length of the residencies ranges from a minimum of three days to one year. Grants support up to 75 percent of expenses directly connected to the project. The balance must be drawn from other sources, such as cash from other grants, earned income, or an allocation from the organization's general operating funds.
Grants of $2,500 to $6,000 will fund short-term projects involving three to nine activities taking place over at least three consecutive or separate days within a month. Grants of $5,000 to $12,000 will fund extended projects involving ten or more activities taking place over more than one month and up to one year.
Informational workshops detailing the application process for the residency grants program will be held on October 24 and November 7, 2012. RSVP is required.
Visit the CMA Web site for complete program guidelines, an FAQ, and contact information for potential presenter and ensemble partners.
