[Cynthia Cooper]

Association of Performing Arts Presenters Accepting Applications for
Cultural Exchange Fund

The Association of Performing Arts Presenters' Cultural Exchange Fund is an
international travel subsidy program supported by the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation that will assist professionals within the presenting field to
build partnerships and collaborations. The program is designed to help
expand presenting and touring opportunities in the U.S. for deserving
international work, and support long-term development projects, residencies,
or commissions.

All current members of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters are
eligible to apply. For-profit organizations are not eligible for funds
unless mangers and agents clarify that they are traveling on behalf of a
presenter for the advancement of a specific project. The Cultural Exchange
fund is not for the purpose of U.S. artists performing or traveling to meet
with international presenters about performance opportunities.

The awards will provide up to $2,000 each.

There will be three rounds of funding during the 2008 calendar year.
Remaining deadlines are July 3, 2008 and September 12, 2008.

complete program information and details on becoming an association member.
