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 Literary Arts Touring grants.  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 public reading and an educational component such as a writing workshop.  The project can include single or multiple writers involved in an event (for example, writers series, festivals, or single engagements). The maximum request is 50% of the writers' fee, up to a total grant of $2,500.
