Supporting and promoting the arts in the south

 


Literary Arts Projects

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.

 National Endowment for the Arts

This grant program offers organizations the opportunity to receive fee support to present writers who reside outside of the presenter’s state. Support is awarded to literary projects that contain both a reading and an educational component such as a writing workshop. The maximum request is 50% of the writer’s fee, up to $2,500.
