An organization may submit only one proposal under Performing Arts Discovery.
The National Endowment for the Arts’ support may begin no earlier than August 15, 2017 and extend for up to 30 months.
Program Description Through grants with other funders, the National Endowment for
the Arts has a long history of bringing the benefits of international exchange to arts organizations, artists, and audiences nationwide.
For many years, however, there have been limited opportunities for foreign arts presenters to come to the United States and see artists at events in geographically diverse areas of our country.
Programs such as these are important because they create new markets for working artists, expand mutual understanding, and raise the profile of each participating U. S. region and country.
To address this gap, the National Endowment for the Arts’ Performing Arts Discovery program will support U. S. Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs) to undertake performing arts platforms in their region that will showcase the work of U. S. performing artists for presenters1 based outside of this country.
