Southern Fast Track Touring

In our continuing effort to support and promote the arts in the South, the Southern Arts Federation (SAF) in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts offers Southern Fast Track Touring grants. This program, through its rolling deadline, is designed to offer Southern presenters more opportunities throughout the year to apply for fee support.

Aimed at smaller presenters, Southern Fast Track Touring seeks to establish an active arts environment in underserved communities. This grant program offers organizations the opportunity to receive fee support to present performing artists and writers from outside the presenter’s state. Support is awarded to theatre, music, opera, musical theatre, literary and dance projects that contain both a public performance or reading and an educational component. The maximum request is 50% of the artist fee, up to $2,500.
