Description
This program funds arts organizations and government entities in the South Arts region to bring a Southern artist (from a different state) for community engagement projects. Supported projects must include both a public presentation (such as a performance, exhibition, screening, or reading) and an educational or community engagement activity (such as a workshop, lecture, or master class). Funding is intended to deepen community-artist relationships, expand access to the arts, and strengthen the Southern arts ecosystem through meaningful, cross-state collaborations.
