Performing Arts Fund
The Performing Arts Fund supports the inter-state touring of professional performing artists specializing in the fine arts of dance, theater, music, youth and family entertainment, and other meaningful performing arts forms appropriate for communities throughout Arts Midwest’s nine-state region. These engagements include public performances and in-depth educational activities reaching audiences that lack access to the performing arts.
Performing Arts Fund grants are applied for by and made directly to presenting organizations (organizations who book artists to perform in their venues) in our nine-state region of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
2010-2011 Application: CLOSED
All available funds for the 2010-2011 cycle have been depleted. Thank you to all who applied.
