Description
The Arts, Music and Theater (ATM) Fund, administered by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS), provides grants to support visual and performing arts programs organized as part of the ASECS Annual Meeting. The goal is to enrich the meeting experience and promote disciplinary diversity, especially by supporting events that highlight underrepresented arts, languages, cultures, or disciplines. Typical supported activities include theater performances, music recitals, and visual arts exhibitions. All funded events must be accessible and open to all Annual Meeting registrants.
Preference is given to proposals that bring new or underrepresented perspectives to the Annual Meeting. The fund is made possible through donations from ASECS members, and it is intended to foster a vibrant, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating conference environment.
