NEW!  Southern Fast Track Touring grants are now applicable to presenting organizations with operating budgets of $150,000 or less.

This grant program offers smaller presenting organizations in South Arts' nine-state region 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.

Projects must take place between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.  

Applications must be submitted online at least 60 days prior to the project start date.  All grant requests are subject to funding availability. Grants are awarded on a first come/first served basis until funding is depleted.  Early submission is encouraged.

Only presenting organizations with operating budgets of $150,000 or less (for the last completed fiscal year) are eligible to apply.
