NEA Performing Arts Global Exchange, FY2019

archived

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) aims to increase access to quality international arts programming throughout the U.S and to promote a greater understanding of other cultures through the arts. Through the Performing Arts Global Exchange (PAGE) program, a Cooperator will award subgrants to nonprofit presenting organizations that book artists from an NEA-approved roster of international performing artists or ensembles for performances in the U.S. An emphasis will be placed on funding engagements in underserved communities that have limited access to this type of artistic work. All funded engagements will be required to include public performances and activities that provide audiences with direct interaction with the visiting artists. Award support for initiatives and programs such as PAGE are competed by the NEA on a regular basis. Through this Program Solicitation, the NEA is seeking to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with a U.S. Regional Arts Organization (RAO) to administer the 2020-21 cycle of PAGE. Together with the Cooperator, the NEA will identify eligible countries of a chosen region of the world (e.g., North Africa, Southeast Asia, Nordic countries) to highlight biennially.
