Summary
This grant opportunity provides modest financial support to individuals or small creative groups aiming to share their work with wider audiences. Awards typically range between several thousand dollars and are meant to help cover the practical costs involved in coordinating and presenting a series of live events across different locations. These efforts are especially encouraged in areas that may not frequently host such experiences. While the funding is generally tied to a specific creative field, the broader intention is to encourage cultural engagement and visibility.
Those eligible may include independent creatives, informal collectives, or small artist-led efforts based in the U.S. or affiliated regions. Applicants should demonstrate a track record of presenting their work publicly and be prepared to manage the logistics of a small tour. The opportunity is particularly fitting for those interested in visiting a variety of venues, including spaces not traditionally used for performances.
The funding can help offset a wide range of project costs, including travel, lodging, technical needs, and compensation for time and labor. It is designed to help recipients broaden their audience while preserving creative independence and building professional sustainability.
Applications are accepted at multiple points throughout the year, offering applicants the chance to align submissions with their planning timelines. Participants are expected to confirm some interest from potential hosts or locations prior to applying.
This opportunity is well-suited to self-directed creatives who wish to strengthen their outreach efforts, connect with new communities, and continue growing their practice in a purposeful way. It is not limited to organizations and may especially appeal to those leading their own small-scale initiatives or artistic ventures.
