Description
The Arts, Music and Theater (ATM) Fund, managed by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS), supports visual and performing arts programs held in conjunction with the society’s Annual Meeting. Members may seek support for an event or session that enriches the meeting, including practical costs such as venue or equipment rental, supplies, transportation, shipping, and artist fees. Programs may take place in the evenings or during breakout sessions.
The fund reflects ASECS’s commitment to disciplinary diversity. Its Program Committee gives preference to proposals presenting arts, languages, cultures, or disciplines that have not recently received ATM support. Donations from ASECS members sustain the fund.
