The mission of Mid Atlantic Arts is to promote and support multi-disciplinary arts in the Mid-Atlantic region. They aim to increase access to and appreciation for the arts through support of programs that nurture and affirm the cultural identity of the diverse people, places, and traditions of the region. While this is a generalized mission statement, Mid Atlantic Arts focuses on fostering the arts and culture ecosystem by enabling artists and organizations to explore new innovations, engage communities, and enhance their contributions to the regional and national cultural landscapes.
USArtists International Grants focus on supporting in-person performances by American artists at international festivals and arts marketplaces outside the U.S. The grants cater to individuals and ensembles across all performing arts disciplines, aiming to enhance the presence of U.S. performing artists on global stages. The program supports career development by fostering engagements that expand artistic goals and provide vital connections with presenters, curators, and artists worldwide. It prioritizes the promotion of diversity and justice within the arts community. Grant amounts can range from $1,000 to $15,000, covering various eligible expenses, including performance and agents’ fees, and registration costs. Special tracks are available for both festival/market travel and significant non-festival performances in certain countries, emphasizing the foundation’s commitment to international artistic exchange.
