The Arts, Music and Theater (ATM) Fund is managed by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and supported by donations from its members. It funds visual and performing arts programs that enrich the society’s Annual Meeting, including events and sessions scheduled in the evenings or during breakout sessions.
The fund supports the costs of presenting arts programming, including equipment or venue rental, supplies, transportation or shipping, and artist fees. In keeping with ASECS’s commitment to disciplinary diversity, the Program Committee gives preference to proposals presenting arts, languages, cultures, or disciplines that have not recently received ATM grants.
