South Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) promotes the touring of regional, national and international performing artists. The NEA/South Arts Regional Touring program is an opportunity for presenting arts organizations to receive fee support to present performing artists from outside the presenter’s state. Touring support is awarded to theatre, music, opera, musical theatre, and dance projects that contain both a public performance and an educational component. The maximum request is 50% of the artist fee, up to $7,500 for dance projects or $5,000 for all other projects.
