Art is a universal language, one that breaks the barriers of speech and custom to remind us time and again of our common humanity. To understand ourselves and our brothers and sis- ters in nations across the globe, we only need look closely at their art and the spirit within it. Recognizing the importance of discovering what unites peoples, the U.S. government is committed to international arts exchange, and the National Endowment for the Arts is one Federal agency helping make that exchange possible and fruitful. The small, growing International Pro- gram at the Arts Endowment assists United States artists and arts institutions as they strengthen their international ties. The Pro- gram has information and insights on interna- tional cultural activities unmatched elsewhere in this country. Because of the complexities of the network that exists throughout the United States for international cultural exchange, our International Program has developed this clear and concise guidebook. This guide serves two purposes. The first is to introduce you to the work of our Interna- tional Program and how it complements the work of other federal, state, and local govern- ment entities to promote arts exchange. The second purpose is to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly source of information for those interested in international arts exchange. In addition to its modest grants program, our International Program functions as a sign- post to direct artists and arts organizations to other sources of information and funding that make possible international cultural exchange. An extraordinary interest in international arts exchange has manifested itself in every corner of our vast country. From New York City to Los Angeles, from Omaha to Albuquerque, communities large and small are recognizing that international arts exchange can provide unmatched experience for their artists and en- hance the prestige and economic vitality of their city or town. With our limited funds, we cannot hope to address this groundswell of interest. Therefore, we have developed this guide to help you find who in the often per- plexing array of public and private flinders can support the work you are doing. We want to put these resources at your fingertips. So turn the pages and you will discover a world of opportunities. Jane Alexander Chairman National Endowment for the Arts Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from Boston Library Consortium Member Libraries http://archive.org/details/worldartsguidetoOOnati A Note from the Director Ihe Arts Endowment's International Program is devoted to broadening the scope of experi- ence of American artists to enrich the art that they create. Its activities help increase world- wide recognition of the excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts of the United States. In addition, it supports innovative international endeavors that increase arts audiences and deepen public understanding of the cultural influences from abroad that invigorate Ameri- can society. Through all its work, the Pro- gram helps American artists and arts organiza- tions develop international ties that strengthen the many art forms of the United States. The Endowment's in-depth involvement in international activities began in 1978. We provided support to the United States Infor- mation Agency (USIA), which aims to in- crease international understanding of U.S. so- ciety, for its international arts programs. In 1984, the Endowment established the Office of International Activities whose role was to serve as an advocate for U.S. arts and artists internationally. Recognizing the need to take a greater leadership role to support interna- tional arts activities and information exchanges, the Arts Endowment formally created the International Program in 1993. When I began my tenure as director in September 1990, I felt strongly that the Pro- gram should serve not only as a funding re- source, but also as an advocate and source of information for artists and arts organizations to help foster international arts exchanges. International elements are routinely integrated into the art that is created and presented throughout the United States. The increasing demand for support has severely strained the modest resources available to fund internation- ally-based work. The need to identify new resources to support international arts ex- changes has been an impetus for creating this guide. We have provided information on as many resources as are known to us that provide funding or information to artists or arts organ- izations wishing to work internationally. We do realize, however, that the information is only useful when it is current and accurate. We therefore encourage you to share your views, comments and experiences with us, so that we can update and improve this guide. If we have missed any resources, please write us about them and we will include them in future edi- tions. The entries in the guide are based on exhaustive research and interviews with each organization that is listed. All entrants have agreed to be included, though a listing in this guide in no way constitutes an endorsement of any organization by the U.S. Government. My sincere gratitude to all those involved in this massive undertaking.

PartOne: Resources for International Arts Exchange Chapter 1: An Introduction to International Arts Resources Ihroughout the United States communities are recognizing that international arts inter- change of the highest caliber provides un- matched experience for their artists, enhances the prestige and economic vitality of their towns, sparks interest to participate in the global marketplace, and improves the quality of life. Education is at the core of international exchange, and through increased access to such activities, the more than 170 different ethnic groups represented in this country learn more about the roots of their own cultures and those of other societies. International cultural events foster cultural literacy and greater audi- ence interest in a wide range of art forms. In addition, communities have found that expo- sure to a variety of cultural traditions engen- ders greater mutual respect among their dif- ferent cultural groups. Today, there is heightened international- ism in all aspects of U.S. society. Changing political, social and economic conditions in this country and around the world have stimulated international exchanges in the arts. It remains difficult, however, to obtain sup- port for these activities. As more artists seek to explore the artistic expressions of their cul- tural and ethnic heritages, and more organiza- tions seek to collaborate with traditional and contemporary artists abroad, the resources to fund this work are in great demand. In writing this guide, we have tried to respond to what we detect to be a growing interest in international work in the arts. Ev- ery day our office receives calls from poten- tial applicants seeking advice on how to make their international project happen. By far, the most commonly asked ques- tion is "Where can I go for funding?" Some ask about contacts abroad, embassy connec- tions, or how to plan a residency. Others want information on obtaining a visa for visiting foreign artists or themselves. Questions vary widely in scope, and the International Pro- gram staff senses an urgent need in the field for a central resource providing basic answers and guidance to artists and arts adnunistrators interested in international exchange. This guide represents our attempt to assemble informa- tion gathered over the past three years. It is organized in two parts. Part I provides annotated information about potential hinders and service organizations; Part II is a directory with various listings of resources for interna- tional art activities. Chapter Two outlines federal government programs, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Information Agency, and other less ob- vious agencies that may support international work. The private funding community's inter- national interests are profiled in Chapter Three. To compile this information, we conducted a phone survey of hinders listed in the National Guide to Funding in Arts and Culture (1992) and the Directory of International Corporate Giving in America and Abroad (1993). As important as the dollars are, so, too, are the people who can put you in touch with others to help you carry out your project. Service organization staff members are linked to a network of contacts in their particular field that can be of great assistance. Chapter Four includes information on service organi- zations that have indicated an ability and a willingness to help artists with international work. These organizations can assist you by providing international contacts, referrals, tech- nical assistance and/or travel grants. Finally, it is of utmost importance to de- velop contacts with the arts community in your region and abroad before your trip. Your introduction conversations and letters will lead you to con- tacts in your country of interest. Many promi- nent cultural organizations can provide artists with specific information based on their par- ticular needs (eg., contacts, housing, funding). Part II, the Directory of Resources, provides Listings of those organizations, including state and local arts agencies and organizations abroad such as binational centers, government ministries, service organizations, presenting organizations, foundations and corporations whose assistance can be invaluable in re- sponding to your specific requests. For Those Contemplating Work Abroad Realizing how much work is involved in launch- ing an international project, you must hon- estly assess whether now is the appropriate time for you or your organization to embark on one. Keep in mind that you will have to devote much time and effort to make the project successful. Should you decide to pro- ceed, however, a deeply meaningful experi- ence may await you. ~ For some artists and organizations, work- ing abroad is an important "next step* in their work as they prepare to expand their horizons and move on to a new level of exposure, both of their art to new audiences and of themselves to new experiences. Some note a strong desire to explore their roots. Others want to study with a master teacher, to learn new skills, or to seek out topical subject matter, traditions or styles. After mastering their discipline and their home environment, they are ready to move beyond; experiencing another culture becomes a necessary outgrowth of their work. Others are motivated by a drive to re-experi- ence that common bond, that universality, reflected in the human condition that is so often the fabric of art. What makes some international projects successful while others are less so? Frequently, it is the project director's commitment to mak- ing the project happen. A visionary force com- bined with a determined confidence drives the best international projects. You must truly want your project to happen, because it re- quires extraordinary resourcefulness to initi- ate the contacts and raise the money to accom- plish an international endeavor successfully. In many ways, the task of raising funds can be likened to a job search. Networks of busi- ness colleagues, friends, and other artists can all provide contacts with others who share an interest in a foreign country. Often, it takes a groundswell of support, mustered by you, to attract positive attention to your project from the media, your local and state governments, and local businesses. Because there are so few funders for international activities, you may have to put some of your own money toward turning your idea into a reality. For an artist or an organization just starting in the interna- tional realm, local fundraising is likely to be most fruitful. For example, good old fashioned bake sales, car washes, and raffles have helped many Arts Endowment grantees raise start-up funds for their international projects. Project Research It is important to explore cultural values and sensitivities in the culture with which you wish to work. These include concepts of time, physical space, gender role, religious practices, political, economic, and social issues in the country and with respect to the United States. For example, a woman artist going to work in a Muslim society should thoroughly famil- iarize herself with customs that might restrict her access to Muslim communities. Religious practices (holidays, fast days) can also affect your schedule. Find out the dates of national and religious holidays. Will they interfere with your work, either because of the national mood or the lack of availability of local artists or master teachers? Will stores be closed? Do you want to observe religious practices? Will they be open to you as an outsider? Informal Introduction informational interviews with regional experts in the United States (found through culture- specific service organizations and in local universities) may facilitate your work by pro- viding valuable overseas contacts. You should also examine practical matters such as climate, food, housing, transportation, local and international communications, and language interpretation. You should identify which supplies you will need to take from the United States, and which are available in your country of destination, and for what price. If you create new work abroad that you cannot carry with you on your return, you will want to investigate shipping costs. Garnering Resources Research the resources in the country you wish to visit, while simultaneously learning every- thing you can about your home business com- munity. Many of your answers, funds and contacts will come from state or local sources. National resources can also be of tremendous assistance. This book has been designed to guide you through the extensive network of organizations nationwide that can help you achieve your international goals. A good place to begin your search is the local chamber of commerce. Contact that of- fice to find out if your country of destination does business with your community. Identify common interests, evaluate how they coincide with yours, and begin thinking of ways to develop a relationship based on possible shared interests. In addition, contact your state and local governments through the appropriate arts agencies; many work internationally with Sister Cities International or Partners of the Americas. Some are engaged in specific ex- change programs as well. For example, Oklahoma's State Arts Council and the state's Tourism and Recreation Department, jointly funded six Oklahoma groups to go to Mexico to perform at the Oktoberfest in Guadalajara, Jalisco (Oklahoma's sister state through Part- ners of the Americas). When applying to a private funder or a government funding program, keep the fol- lowing in mind. First, if they request a work sample, submit one of the highest quality. The importance of this aspect of your proposal cannot be overemphasized. An intelligently written application cannot counteract a me- diocre work sample. If your work sample compels, your proposal may receive the ben- efit of the doubt, but not vice versa. You may even consider developing a new work sample that draws a clear connection between your art and your project abroad. Your work sample should be as relevant as possible to the work you intend to do abroad. If there is a formal application or instruc- tions on how to submit proposals, read them carefully and do exactly what is requested. Most hinders have program officers who can provide technical assistance by phone once you are thoroughly familiar with the applica- tion requirements. Important points to high- light in your proposal might be: artistic excel- lence and achievements; why you have chosen your country of destination; the planning you have done to make the project feasible; and why you wish to work abroad at this point in your career. Respond directly to any questions posed and be as specific as possible about col- laborators and contacts abroad. Costs should be accurate and reflect in-depth research and planning. Finally, choose your supporting ma- terials judiciously. Send only the required materials, not everything available. The more concise your application, the more it will hold its readers' attention. Those reviewing grant applications consider a huge amount of mate- rial and rarely have the time to read every word. Preparing for Travel As your plans solidify, you may want to seek assistance from the embassy of your country of destination. When calling, ask for the cultural Introduction attache. Be clear about the kind of information you require and build in waiting time for the attache to gather the information you need. Embassies can help you in a variety of ways. Many m aintain connections in their home countries with arts organizations, festival orga- nizers, and exhibition planners looking for U.S. artists to participate in events abroad. The embassy's cultural staff may also be familiar with foreign arts organizations interested in international exchange or institutions that ad- vance cultural awareness about their home countries. As you prepare to travel, you might con- tact relevant domestic and foreign commercial airlines. Corporate giving policies vary, so ask for specific guidelines and application advice; remember to approach both national and re- gional airline marketing offices, as their giving policies often differ. U.S. and foreign airlines occasionally donate airline tickets or cargo space or may offer discount fares to nonprofit organizations or individuals of significant ar- tistic achievement. As each request is consid- ered separately, try to be as detailed as possible in your application letter. Describe your proj- ect and try to illustrate how your international arts activities may benefit the airline's cor- porate agenda. You may need to obtain a visa to work abroad and you should allow ample time for the visa application process. Requirements for U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. vary from country to country. To obtain information on requirements for your country of interest, contact the nearest appropriate consulate or the embassy in Washington, DC. (See Part EI.) Before inquiring about specific visa regulations, you should be able to provide the following information to determine the correct visa category: a) the length of time of your intended stay; b) the reason for your visit - tourism, grant work, or business; c) whether you will be paid by an entity in the host country; d) the source of your payment or grant. With this information, the consulate will be able to determine your visa status. In addition, ask about any restrictions on your activity abroad. For example, artists trav- eling to Japan on a grant are not allowed to "moon-light," or take on any paid work other than that for which they received the grant. Also inquire about extensions of stay, should you decide to prolong your visit while abroad. For example, U.S. citizens traveling in Spain for up to three months need only a passport; an additional three-month extension may be ob- tained from a Spanish police station. Staying longer than six months requires either a stu- dent or resident visa. Compare these laws with Indonesia's, where U.S. tourists may not ex- tend their stay beyond two months, unless they are traveling on business. Hosting Artists from Abroad If your international activity focuses on host- ing a foreign artist or group in this country, much of the preceding information on re- search, networking, and fundraising should be useful. In addition, you should be aware of the special nature of the commitment to host some- one from abroad, particularly if the artists' stay in your community would be their first in- depth experience in the United States. Re- moved from their usual support networks, most artists will expect that their hosts will help them set up social as well as work related activities, just as they would do for U.S. artists visiting in their country. This is especially true if the artists speak limited English. These ac- tivities might include educational field trips to sites of interest, social gatherings, professional introductions to others in their field, or being available to lend a helping hand throughout the residency period. Volunteers who support your organization as well as local International Visitors Councils are likely resources to help in this regard. A foreign artist's knowledge of your orga- nization and expectations may differ from those of U.S. artists. Artists from abroad could 10 Introduction have more than the usual number of questions about work space, schedules, materials, accom- modations, food preparation, finances, social activities, etc. To avoid possible misunder- standings, provide very specific information, preferably in writing, to each visiting artist on these issues. If you are bringing international artists to present to your audiences, it is important to plan for adequate community outreach both to local immigrant groups and to other audiences you have identified for this work. If you are hoping to expand your audiences through this international presentation, you should build in sufficient lead time to foster communication with diverse cultural groups. To take fullest advantage of the visit of your guest artists from abroad, it is useful to plan lecture/demonstrations, workshops, mas- ter classes or other opportunities for interac- tion with local artists and interested commu- nity members. Working collaboratively with schools, universities, community centers, and culture-specific organizations can lead to the development of excellent educational materi- als about the artists and the art forms that they represent, and this will attract broader, better informed audiences to your presentations. Conclusion The International Program staff compiled the information in this guide to lead you through the process of planning and raising funds for international arts exchange. In so doing, we hoped to circumvent many of your blind calls, while at the same time, providing ideas and fresh insights on developing new and effective project related contacts. There is no way around the time-consuming nature of this work, but we hope our efforts help you make better use of your time as your ideas evolve into plans. Please let us know if you find the infor- mation useful. We also want to hear about unnecessary or incorrect entries, and we are open to your suggestions for future revisions.

We wish you well as you embark on your work. 11 12 Chapter 2: U.S. Government Agencies I he most obvious federal sources for art- ists working abroad are the National Endow- ment for the Arts and the United States Infor- mation Agency (USIA). Both government agencies sponsor American artistic expression abroad. In addition, the Arts Endowment sup- ports innovative international endeavors in the United States that increase arts audiences and deepen the American public's understand- ing of the cultural influences from abroad that invigorate U.S. society. You will find informa- tion on each agency's various programs throughout this section. In addition to these funding initiatives, the Arts Endowment and USIA have become important resources for information and contacts abroad because of the wealth of knowledge they each possess about international arts activities. Beyond the Arts Endowment and USIA, the federal government probably isn't the first source that comes to mind for your interna- tional work in the arts. Yet other federal agen- cies may be able to provide assistance and should not be overlooked. For example, the Smithsonian Institution has a separate Office of International Relations that has, in the past, conducted artistic and cultural exchanges. The Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment, while restricted by a lack of funds, can also serve as an excellent resource for referrals for architects and design artists. A more complete list follows. Finally, you may find it useful to contact state and local arts agencies; many work inter- nationally through Sister Cities International or Partners of the Americas. Some administer programs of their own. According to the Arts Endowment's 1994 survey, approximately two thirds of state arts agencies currently support international activities. In 1992, the National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies conducted a similar sur- vey on the local level revealing that 51.9 per- cent of 208 respondents were involved in international arts exchange. You will find a list of those agencies that responded positively to these surveys in Part II. If you do not see yours listed, however, do not assume it is due to a lack of interest. Many existing programs were prompted by constituent calls. Yours could be the next inspiration. NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS The International Program The Arts Endowment's International Program assists a broad spectrum of artists and arts organizations through advocacy, informational services (such as national workshops, publica- tions and individual counseling) and modest grantmaking activities. You will find a list of funding categories within the International Program below. Please note that several Inter- national Program categories are administered by outside arts organizations. In these cases, applications and letters of intent should be sent directly to the addresses listed. International Projects Initiative (IPI) IPI offers grants to U.S. cultural nonprofit organizations to support sustained partner- ships, artistic exchange, or collaborations with artists and organizations abroad. Such partner- ships may involve any artistic discipline and may take place in the U.S. or in another country. Through this category the International Program seeks to support exemplary arts projects that demonstrate: ♦ significant expertise in and sensitivity to the foreign culture(s) involved; 13 U.S. Government Agencies ♦ responsiveness to the needs of the applicant organization's own community/ constituency; ♦ efforts to impart benefits of interna- tional interchange to other organizations and/or wider audiences. The International Program encourages applications from U.S. nonprofit organiza- tions serving the diverse cultural communi- ties in this country for projects that involve interaction with their cultures of origin and/ or that establish ties with other cultural com- munities. In addition, the Program encourages project applications that promote the pres- ervation of traditional, community based skills in the face of global industrialization and ur- banization. The Program welcomes new organiza- tional initiatives and is equally concerned with strengthening existing programs that meet the Initiative's overall goals. Organiza- tions should not propose projects that are beyond their staff and financial means or that can be sustained only with continued Arts Endowment funding. Limitations: No grants to individuals. Application Procedure: Contact the Inter- national Program for IPI guidelines. Contact: International Program National Endowment for the Arts 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20506 (202) 682-5422 Please note: You may request guidelines from the receptionist. The Program Specialist will answer further questions after you have read Program materials. Arts Link ArtsLink enables U.S. artists and arts organi- zations to work collaboratively with their counterparts, both in this country and in the former bloc countries of Central Europe, East- ern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Baltics. ArtsLink has two main components: ArtsLink Collaborative Projects and ArtsLink Fellowships. ArtsLink Collaborative Projects supports U.S. artists working on mutually beneficial projects with colleagues abroad. U.S. artists may apply for grants to pursue artistic collabo- rations and artistic exchange that will enrich their work and/or to create new work that draws inspiration from the international expe- rience. ArtsLink Fellowships provides matching funds to U.S. organizations interested in host- ing an artist or arts administrator from Eastern or Central Europe or the former Soviet Union for a five-week residency in the United States. Applicant organizations must design a hands- on fellowship experience that provides oppor- tunities for the visiting professional to interact with peers and the community at large. ArtsLink is a partnership of the National Arts Endowment, the Open Society Fund/ Soros Centers for Contemporary Arts, The Starr Foundation, The Trust for Mutual Un- derstanding, and Citizen Exchange Council. Application Procedure: Interested artists and organizations should apply directly to Citizen Exchange Council. Contact: ArtsLink Arts and Media Programs Citizen Exchange Council 12 West 31st Street New York, NY 10001-4415 (212) 643-1985 Fund for U.S. Artists at International Festivals and Exhibitions The Fund is a partnership of the Arts Endow- ment, the U.S. Information Agency, The 14 U.S. Government Agencies Rockefeller Foundation and The Pew Chari- table Trusts. It is managed by Arts Interna- tional, a division of the Institute for Interna- tional Education. For ease of reference, we have listed it only once. (See page x.) Please refer back to this page when appropriate. Performing Arts The Fund supports U.S. performing artists who have been invited to an international festival abroad and need additional support to make their performance possible. Application Procedure: Interested artists should apply directly to Arts International. Deadlines fall three times a year. Grants will not be given for participation in festivals that have taken place before the application dead- line or within nine weeks following the dead- line. Contact: Arts International Institute of International Education 809 United Nations Plaza New York, NY 10017 (212) 984-5370 Visual Arts The Fund also supports U.S. participation at an extremely limited number of international visual arts exhibitions such as the Venice Bien- nale and the Sao Paulo Bienal, as well as smaller venues around the world. (Exhibitions vary annually.) Only curators, not individual art- ists, may apply to this highly competitive cat- egory. Applications will be reviewed by the Federal Advisory Committee on International Exhibitions. Application Procedure: Contact USIA to have your name placed on a mailing list of cur- ators interested in developing exhibitions for these venues abroad. You will receive periodic information on events the Fund sponsors. Contact: Fund for U.S. Artists at Interna- tional Exhibitions, Arts America Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs United States Information Agency 301 4th Street, SW Washington, DC 20547 (202) 6194783 United States/Japan Creative Artists' Fellowships The United States/Japan Creative Artists' Fel- lowships are six-month fellowships in Japan. The fellowships are designed to allow five U.S. artists who create original work to pursue their individual artistic goals and interests by living in Japan, observing developments in their field and meeting with their professional counter- parts in Japan. Potential applicants should con- sider how exposure to Japan and its contem- porary or traditional arts and culture might provide an important influence on their cre- ative work; in what ways working in Japan is consistent with their artistic vision; and how the activities they plan to pursue in Japan will enhance their creative goals. There are no requirements for artistic cre- ation, teaching, or public demonstration while in Japan. In addition, there are no structured institutional affiliations or living arrangements for fellows, allowing each artist maximum flexibility in designing his or her own fellow- ship activities. International House in Tokyo will help make introductions into the artistic community throughout Japan and will assist selected artists with the logistics of settling in for their six-month stay. United States/Canada/Mexico Creative Artists' Residencies The United States/Canada/Mexico Creative Artists' Residencies are designed to enable twenty U.S. artists (ten in Canada, ten in Mexico) to have structured interaction with 15 U.S. Government Agencies colleagues and interested audiences in Canada or Mexico. Artists are matched with host sites for two-month residencies during which they can observe artistic developments in their fields, expand their understanding of an art form, and create new work drawing inspira- tion from their experience abroad. An integral part of these residencies will be public activities such as master classes, workshops, in-school residencies, collaborations with civic organi- zations and lecture demonstrations designed jointly by the host organization and the visit- ing artist. Artists should anticipate dedicating up to eight hours a week to these activities. U.S. arts organizations please note: Com- plementing these opportunities for U.S. art- ists, Canada and Mexico will each send ten artists (twenty total) for two-month residen- cies with U.S. arts organizations. If you are interested in hosting Canadian or Mexican visiting artists, call the International Program to request the Host Organization Program Announcement. Limitations: Candidates must select Japan, Canada, or Mexico and may not apply for more than one fellowship or residency in a given year. Candidates are ineligible if, within the last ten years, they have spent more than three months working professionally in the country they wish to visit. Application Procedure: Contact the Pro- gram for individual artist guidelines. Contact: International Program National Endowment for the Arts 1 100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20506 (202) 682-5422 U.S. INFORMATION AGENCY (USIA) The United States Information Agency is an independent foreign affairs agency within the executive branch of the U.S. Government. USIA's educational and cultural activities are conducted to advance its mission of promoting mutual understanding between the United States and other nations. Your major point of contact at USIA will be the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which oversees numerous programs and services for arts and cultural exchange. The Bureau of Broadcasting may also be of assistance for radio and other forms of interna tional communication regarding the arts. The following is a descriptive listing of USIA's various programs. For detailed information, please contact the appropriate USIA office. The agency maintains more than 200 U.S. Information Service (USIS) "posts" staffed by American foreign service officers and foreign nationals in more than 120 countries. (The U.S. Information Agency is known as USIS abroad.) See Part II for a complete list of USIS posts. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Within this Bureau, you may seek assistance from Arts America, the Office of Cultural Centers and Resources, the Office of Aca- demic Programs, the Office of Citizen Ex- changes, the Office of International Visitors and the Cultural Property Staff. Arts America Arts America administers programs aimed at increasing foreign understanding of the diverse creative arts of the United States. Arts America resources are highly targeted to reach audi- ences in countries with limited exposure to American culture. Arts America's activities are developed in response to requests from U.S. Embassies abroad. Expert panels drawn from the U.S. arts community review the artistic merit of U.S. artists to work abroad and make recommendations for USIA support. In 16 U.S. Government Agencies addition to its program activities, Arts America can assist privately-sponsored arts initiatives abroad by providing referrals, information and contacts in other countries. Arts America also supports the Fund for U.S. Artists at Interna- tional Festivals and Exhibitions. (See page xx.) With the exception of its Creative Arts Ex- changes Division, Arts America is not a grant application program. Rather it develops pro- grams to meet specific U.S. Embassy needs. Contact: Arts America Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs United States Information Agency 301 4th Street SW Washington, DC 20547 (202) 619-4779 Within Arts America there are several pro- grams or areas of concentration: Artistic Ambassador Program This program is designed to enhance cross- cultural exchange by sending new musical tal- ent abroad to perform and act as exponents of American music. Artistic Ambassadors give regular public concerts and lecture-recitals and may conduct master classes and workshops. Eligible musicians are sought from music schools, conservatories, colleges and universi- ties throughout the United States. They must be citizens of the United States, and at least 21 years of age. Auditions are held each fall in various locations throughout the United States. Judges evaluate musical ability and suitability as a "good will ambassador." Instruments re- quested vary each year. Performing Arts Program Every year Arts America sponsors a limited number of fully-funded dance, music and the- ater presentations abroad. Artists are selected based on criteria that include artistic excel- lence and an ability to explain and demonstrate their art. This last criterion is important be- cause in addition to performances, overseas tours often involve workshops, master classes and receptions. Arts America, in cooperation with the sponsoring U.S. embassy, provides international travel, living expenses, perfor- mance fees and technical arrangements. They concentrate their efforts in countries where American performers rarely appear com- mercially. Sponsorship and facilitative assis- tance by Arts America is generally limited to professional performing artists and groups. Arts America does not support amateur or community groups, or any groups below uni- versity age. Speaker and Cultural Specialist Program This program is designed to foster the ex- change of ideas in the areas of creative and performing arts. Expert practitioners of the arts are recruited in response to requests made by U.S. embassies and foreign cultural and educational institutions. Arts America speak- ers usually spend two weeks abroad in two or more countries lecturing; American cultural specialists spend up to six weeks in one country working and consulting with foreign colleagues, as well as conducting workshops and master classes. Fine Arts Exhibitions Arts America funds exhibitions which are pre- sented under the auspices of U.S. embassies. Proposals from U.S. museums and indepen- dent curators are reviewed by a panel which makes recommendations to Arts America. The Arts America staff selects projects for devel- opment that meet program needs of USIS posts overseas. The staff works with the selected U.S. organizer to prepare the exhibition and set the itinerary, usually from ten to fifteen venues in a two- to three-year period. The exhi- bitions are presented at major foreign muse- ums and at American cultural centers in all 17 U.S. Government Agencies parts of the world. The Arts America fine arts exhibition program is not a grant applica- tion program and is not intended to provide support for international exhibition tours whose venues have already been determined. Curators may contact Arts America for addi- tional information. BNC Circuit The BNC Circuit is a small program with limited funding administered by Arts Ameri- ca. Under this program, small U.S. performing arts groups and visual arts exhibitions travel to binational centers across Latin America. (See page xx). Due to the limited facilities and small budgets of mostBNCs, only technically simple, small-scale performances and exhibitions are considered. For further information, write to Arts America. Creative Arts Exchanges Division The Creative Arts Exchanges Division seeks to link American arts and museum profession- als and institutions with their counterparts in other countries. It accomplishes this goal through projects that connect professional networks in the United States with USIS cul- tural offices at American diplomatic missions around the world. The American networks provide USIS of- fices access to quality arts and museum activity in the United States, and vice versa. The divi- sion administers a grant program for American nonprofit organizations that helps fund such international linkages; serves as guide, commu- nicator and monitor of the networks created by the projects it funds; and encourages pri- vate sector support so as to ensure follow-up and continuity in the linkages so created. This division periodically announces in the Federal Register requests for proposals (RFPs) to sup- port projects of the highest quality arts endeav- ors. (Contact Arts America to be notified of RFP dates.)

Over 80 percent of these centers are located in Latin America, with additional centers in Europe and East Asia. Over the past several years, USIA has decreased its mone- tary support of BNCs, but the agency still maintains strong relations with many of them. BNCs can provide contacts in the local arts community and space for performances, exhibitions and/or rehearsals. In addition, they may be able to furnish artists fees and publicity for U.S. artists wishing to perform or exhibit abroad. (See Part II for a list of BNCs by country.) Contact: Centers Management Staff United States Information Agency 301 4th Street SW #304 Washington DC, 20547 (202) 619-5876 Office of Academic Programs The Office of Academic Programs administers a number of exchanges with arts components. Within this office, the Division for Advising, 18 U.S. Government Agencies Teaching and Specialized Programs, and the Academic Exchanges Division may be of inter- est. The Division for Advising, Teaching and Specialized Programs administers the Fulbright Teacher Exchange, supports cultural enrich- ment activities for foreign students in the United States, and awards grants for university affih ations in a wide variety of academic disciplines. Contact: Advising, Teaching and Specialized Programs Division United States Information Agency 301 4th Street SW #349 Washington, DC 20547 (202) 619-5434 Academic Exchanges Division This division administers the Fulbright Pro- gram, which is divided into awards for post- doctoral level scholars (or equivalent), and pre- doctoral level scholars. Many of the Fulbright grants awarded each year go to scholars or practicing artists in music, theater, dance, art and art history, and American literature. The Council for International Exchange of Schol- ars administers the Fulbright Scholar Program for artists with an MFA degree, professional experience and recognition in their arts field. Recipients of these awards use funds to lecture at foreign colleges or universities, or to receive advanced professional training. Highly quali- fied, non-degree artists and craftspeople are also considered. The Institute of International Education administers the student fellowship portion of the Fulbright Program, (up to the MFA level for artists). These awards are for graduate study, research and practical training. Most Fulbright awards are made for specific disciplines in specific areas, however, many coun-tries have "open" fellowship slots that can be filled by persons from any field, includ- ing the arts. Application Procedure: Contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) for the Scholar Program (post-MFA), or the Institute of International Education for the Student Program (pre-MF A) to determine avail- ability of fellowships in your country of inter- est, and to receive application materials.

It administers the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, which oversees USLVs delegated executive responsi- bilities under the Cultural Property Imple- mentation Act. This Act provides that coun- tries signatory to the 1970 Convention may petition the U.S. for import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological and ethno- logical material, the pillage of which places a nation's cultural patrimony in jeopardy. As a result of USIA's decisionmaking responsi- bilities under the Act, several countries, in- cluding El Salvador, Bolivia, Peru and Guate- mala, receive U.S. import protection.

The Library houses publications and films from around the world (in many languages) that may be diffi cult to locate elsewhere in the United States. If you need to conduct in-depth research on your country of destination, the Library of Con- gress may simplify your work significantly, and may warrant a trip to Washington, DC. Before visiting the Library of Congress, you are advised to conduct preliminary research at an appropriate public or academic li-brary to identify the materials you need. Preliminary "browsing" isn't possible because the Library of Congress' collections are housed in re- stricted, closed stacks. Also, the Library of Congress is a research library, not a lending li- brary, so materials cannot be checked out. Re- searchers must be over high school age and must show photo identification to request mate- rials in all of the Library's public reading rooms. Contact: Library of Congress 101 Independence Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20540 (202) 707-5000 In addition to the main library, the American Folklife Center, the Motion Picture, Broad- casting, and Recorded Sound Division, and the Music Division may be helpful resources to working artists. American Folklife Center The Center is a national advocate for the preservation and presentation of American folklife. Serving a varied constituency, the center offers a wide range of programs (field projects, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, concerts, publications) and services (advisory assistance, research and archival facilities, and equipment loan). In addition, it maintains rela- tions and coordinates programs with the Arts and Humanities Endowments, the Smithson ian Institution, and the National Park Service.

Collaborative projects are supported through the Division of Research Programs. Projects in the history of the arts, literary studies, philosophy, and other humanities disciplines are eligible. Research may be conducted in this country or abroad. In addition, the Humanities Endowment supports fellowship programs administered by research libraries and museums and other inde- pendent centers for advanced study. The fel- lowships awarded by each center enable schol- ars to pursue research in the humanities while benefiting from collegial association with schol- ars in other disciplines or areas of interest. In 1994-95, the following American overseas cen- ters will offer NEH fellowships: American Academy in Rome, American Institute of In- dian Studies, American Research Center in Egypt (Cairo), American Research Institute in Turkey (Ankara and Istanbul), American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (Nicosia). Individual scholars must apply directly to the centers. A list of centers offering NEH fellowships may be obtained from the Centers and International Research Organizations Program. The Humanities Endowment also supports fellowships and other grant programs in the humanities administered by scholarly organi- zations with expertise in the promotion of research on foreign cultures. Examples are the humanities programs of the Committee for Scholarly Communication with China and the programs of the International Research and Exchanges Board for research in Eastern Eu- rope, Mongolia, and the republics formerly a part of the Soviet Union. Individual scholars must apply directly to the organizations. A full list is available from the Centers and Interna- tional Research Organizations Program. Limitations: Degree candidates and persons seeking support for work in pursuit of a degree are not eligible; foreign nationals are not eli- gible unless they have lived in the United States for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline for the fellowship. 24 U.S. Government Agencies Contacts: National Endowment for the Humanities 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20506 Division of Fellowships and Seminars, #316 (202) 606-8458 Division of Research Programs #318 Collaborative Research Centers and International Research Organizations (202) 606-8210 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The Smithsonian Institution encourages visit- ing scholars, scientists and students to utilize its research staff, collections and reference materials. In-residence appointments, which vary in duration and funding, enable qualified persons to pursue studies related to existing research interests of one or more Smithson- ian staff members. Art bureaus at the Smithsonian include the National Museum of American Art, the National Museum of Afri- can Art, the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Freer Gallery of Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculp- ture Garden, and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. The Office of International Relations and the Archives of American Art may also be of use. Office of International Relations The Office of International Relations (OIR) assists Smithsonian divisions seeking to estab- lish long-term cooperative relationships with their foreign counterparts. The OIR facilitates workshops, exchange visits, and training courses, and also oversees basic research. The OIR administers the Smithsonian Foreign Currency Program which provides grants in foreign currencies to American researchers who wish to pursue work in countries where funding in local currencies is available. The Smithsonian does not currently offer exchange programs for arts personnel, but maintains a broad international network of contacts and would be able to offer guidance on a variety of issues related to cross-cultural work.

They also serve to enrich the cultural life of a state, city, town, suburb, or rural area through ex- posure to visiting foreign artists. The SAAs and LAAs listed in Part II provide some funds for international work. One initiative de- serves special note. The Ohio Arts Council's international arts initiative, Arts 2000, has been in operation since 1987. The program received its impetus from then Governor Richard Celeste's interest in promoting the state's cul- tural resources to other countries. Since 1989, approximately 100 Ohio artists have been able to reach audiences abroad through this pro- gram, which also introduced artists and exhib- its from Japan, China, and Russia to Ohio audiences. VISA INFORMATION If you are an agent, manager, or presenter who wishes to bring a foreign artist or group to the United States to perform, you must petition the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to authorize a U.S. Consulate to issue the necessary visa(s) for the artist(s) and es sential support personnel. The steps you must take to petition for and obtain a U.S. visa for a foreign artist or group are outlined below. As the guidelines for petitioners are subject to change, only the basic rules are outlined. You may want to consult an immigration lawyer for answers to specific questions. Step 1: Requesting Information Call the nearest local U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to request an I- 129 Booklet which contains an Application Form 1-129 and the associated instructions. Allow ten working days for the booklet to arrive. In addition, you may want to look up the INS regulations themselves in Volume 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sec- tions 214.2(o) and (p). This is the most reliable source of correct procedures. The CFR can be found in any law library. Step 2: Determining Visa Classifications As you will see when you read through the INS booklet, INS regulations designate a O" and "P" visas for foreign artists and entertainers, including the classifications within each visa category. The regulations describe these vari- ous visa classifications, the relevant proce- dures, and the documents needed to support petitions for each classification. Note that the current edition of the 1-129 instruction booklet (published in 1991) is out- 27 U.S. Government Agencies dated and does not reflect the correct require- ments or procedures. Therefore, until INS issues a new instruction booklet, use extreme caution in applying for the "O" and T" visas, and above all, file your petition(s) as far in advance as possible (up to six months) so that there will be ample time to correct problems. You can use the regulations' descriptions of "O" and "P" visas, the 1-129 form, and the "O" and "P" visa supplements to the 1-129, which are all up-to-date. "O" Visas There are two categories of "O" visas: O-l and 0-2. O-l visas apply to individual artists with extraordinary ability who are temporarily vis- iting the United States to pursue their art form. These artists must demonstrate sustained na- tional or international acclaim for their ex- traordinary artistic accomplishments. Thus, in addition to submitting a properly completed 1-129 form, an "O* visa supple- ment to the 1-129 form, and the correct fee, you will have to provide documentation of the artist's extraordinary ability. To do so, you must either (a) provide evidence that the artist has received a nomination or an actual signifi- cant award in the field (the equivalent of an Academy Award, Emmy or Grammy Award), or (b) provide at least three different types of evidence. These include evidence that the artist has performed and will perform services as a lead or starring participant in productions, events, or for reputable organizations and establishments; critical reviews or articles; evi- dence of commercial or critical success; recog- nition from organizations, critics, government agencies, or other experts in the field; lesser awards/prizes; or evidence that the artist has received high compensation relative to others in the field. Inaddition, you must show that the event for which the artist is applying requires the services of an artist of this caliber. An 0-2 classification applies to non-citi- zens visiting the United States for the sole purpose of accompanying or assisting an O-l artist in his/her artistic performance. The 0-2 visa applicant must be an integral part of the O-l artist's performance, must possess skills and experiences critical to the O-l artist, and must have prior experience with the O-l artist. These skills cannot be general in nature. For example, an experienced operator of a sound system who knows the "correct sound" for an O-l artist is eligible for an 0-2 visa. Managers and agents are considered essential support personnel. You may combine all the support personnel necessary to accompany an O-l art- ist in one 0-2 petition; however, you cannot include 0-2 personnel in an O-l petition. V Visas There are three categories of "P" visas: P-l, P-2, and P-3. A P-l visa applies to interna- tionally acclaimed ensembles or groups, as opposed to individual artists. These ensembles must have been recognized in their fields for a substantial period of time, and have performed regularly for at least one year under the group name used in the petition. Seventy-five per- cent of the P-l artists must be integral mem- bers of the group, usually for at least one year (subject to exceptions in case of unanticipated emergency and of expansion of a group for touring purposes). Your petition must include an alphabetical list of the group's members and the exact dates of their regular employ- ment with the group. You will also have to submit supporting materials to document the group's international acclaim and existence for at least one year, generally with the same type of documentation required for the O-l visas. National acclaim may suffice in some cases. The P-2 classification applies to artists com- ing to the United States under a reciprocal exchange agreement between the United States and an organization in one or more foreign country. At this writing, only a few such agreements exist between U.S. labor orga- nizations and their foreign counterparts. Little 28 U.S. Government Agencies documentation is required for this classifica- tion besides the advisory opinion discussed below. The P-3 classification applies to artists and entertainers participating in culturally unique programs. A P-3 artist must be recognized for excellence in presenting a unique traditional, ethnic, folk, cultural, musical, theatrical, or other artistic program. A P-3 artist may also be recognized for teaching or coaching such a program. Further, the culturally unique pro- gram must incorporate a style, method or medium of artistic expression unique to a particular country, nation, society, class, ethnicity, religion, tribe, or other group. If you apply for a P-3 visa, you must include in your application two of the follow- ing three types of documentation that artists have: (a) performed the culturally unique mate- rial for a substantial period of time; achieved national or international recognition as shown in published materials; (c) achieved recogni- tion from an educational, governmental, or cultural agency, or from a recognized expert in the field. Each P-3 application must also in- clude one or two letters from a recognized expert(s) in the field, attesting to the group's authenticity and excellence, and its level of recognition in a country. The letter must pro- vide detailed credentials for its author. You may include all individuals applying for a single type of "P" visa in one application. However, support personnel needed to assist or accompany applicants for a P" visas require separate petitions, just as the 0-2 petition is separate from its O-l counterpart. The appro- priate visas for support personnel for P-l, P-2, and P-3 visa applicants are, respectively, P-1S, P-2S, and P-3S. Step3: Obtaining a Written Advisory Opinion All "O" and "P" petitions must be accompa- nied by a written advisory opinion, or a "no objection letter" from the national office of an appropriate labor organization, such as the American Federation of Unions, the American Guild of Musical Artists, or the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. To obtain such an opinion, forward a copy of the petition and the essential supporting document- ation to the appropriate union at least one week before you plain to submit the petition. Step 4: Submission of Materials When submitting the above materials, you must include signed contracts or a summary of the essential terms of any oral agreements with the artist and an itinerary listing the name of each sponsor or presenter, the date and location of each performance throughout the period of the intended visit, and the essential compensation terms. The petition may not be filed more than six months before the starting date of the artist's services in the United States. The turn- around time is three to six weeks, depending on the particular INS Service Center and the completeness of the petition. Be sure to follow the INS instruction carefully for filing details such as place of filing, number of copies, etc. All petitions for artists and support personnel must be filed in duplicate . In addition, there are special procedures for emergency expedit- ed petitions that are specific to each INS Ser- vice Center. Emergency requests are not auto- matically granted; they must be fully justified. The current filing fee is $70, plus $10 for each worker included in the application. For example, for an ensemble of eight with two essential support personnel, the total fee will be $240: [$70 + ($10 x 8)] - $150 for the en- semble; [$70 + ($10x 2)] - $90 for the support personnel. Send all materials via air courier (so that you have a delivery receipt) to one of the following INS Regional Service Centers: USINS, Eastern Service Center 75 Lower Welden Street St. Albans, VT 05479-0001 29 U.S. Government Agencies USINS, Western Service Center 24000 Avila Road Second Floor, Room 2304 Laguna Niguel, CA 92677-0040 USINS, Northern Service Center 100 Centennial Mall North Room B-26 Lincoln, NE 68508 We are most grateful to Jonathan Ginsburgh,, Esq., who provided invaluable assistance in securing this information.

This chapter identifies those that will consider support for international arts pro- grams. Some private funders demonstrate a consistent interest in international work. For most, however, this is not a priority. Many fund arts activities, others fund international exchange, but rarely does a private supporter combine the two. Searching for funding is by no means hopeless. You may not find an ex- plicitly stated interest in international arts fund- ing, however, many private funders will be open to the idea if it furthers their own mis- sion. The more information you have about a potential funder, the easier it will be to identify that mission. Most foundations and corpora- tions provide guidelines to potential appli- cants. In these cases, be sure to call or write for your copy. Also request the most recent an- nual report, which will outline the organization's funding priorities. Recognizing the idea at the heart of a corporation's or foundation's philanthropic mission makes it easier to evaluate whether a particular project fits a given funder. For ex- ample, if a corporation focuses its arts giving on education in its areas of operation in the United States, an international proposal might be considered if it involves returning from abroad and teaching children using techniques gleaned from the foreign experience. Simi- larly, a foundation that states an emphasis on international understanding and conflict reso- lution will often consider an innovative arts proposal with cross-cultural impact. As a generalrule, you will find giving guidelines to be just that; guidelines that set the funders' parameters and lay out the general rules. With- in these boundaries, you will often discover a flexible approach to the allocation of funds. Private funders sometimes impose geo- graphic restrictions on international propos- als. You will notice throughout this chapter that some give only to organizations in certain regions of the United States, while others give only in "operating locations worldwide." The only way to find out exactly which locations are eligible is to request the guidelines and annual report. A final note: It is never too soon to begin collecting information from corporations and foundations about their giving programs. Some have only one application review per year while others review applications on a rolling basis. Keeping a file of potential funding sources can only help, even if an international project may be far in the future.

Some serve a particular arts disci- pline (e.g., the Visual Arts and Galleries Asso- ciation, Dansource), others serve the arts in general (e.g., Arts International, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts), others serve a particular cultural group or country (e.g., Association of Hispanic Artists, the Swedish Institute). These organizations may provide international con- tacts, referrals, technical assistance and/or travel grants. Often, staff members at service organiza- tions are knowledgeable about international aspects of their given field. For example, Opera America, a national service organization, is essentially a domestic organization. However, the staff has information about touring prac- tices, festivals, competitions and schools world- wide in the opera field. The Folger Shakespeare Library often hosts visiting fellows and other experts on Shakespearean literature who could provide information about translations, play production, and colleagues abroad. Similarly, the Japan Society has extensive contacts in the Japanese arts community and would be helpful in executing a project in that country. Some service organizations (particularly the discipline-specific variety), have modest membership fees for their services. Often, you can pay minimal fees for specific services, such as use of a job bank, or subscription to a newsletter or other publication, without pay- ing for full membership to the organization. In any case, service organizations are there to serve, and will attempt to do so to the best of their ability. The service organizations in this chapter have been divided into three sections: Arts, Culture-Specific and General. The first section (Arts) has been organized by discipline and includes dance, design arts, folk arts, literature, media arts, museum, music, theater, visual arts and multidisciplinary arts.The next section (Culture-specific) section provides access to or- ganizations offering a variety of services for or about a given country or cultural group. The final section (General) lists non-arts organiza- tions, which can provide a surprising amount of useful information for international arts projects. You may want to begin by locating the organizations that support your discipline, fol- lowed by those that serve your country of interest and then those that serve many disci- plines and countries. If these organizations can't help you with a particular project, ask for referrals to other organizations that might. Staff members are often linked to a network of domestic organizations, one of which might serve your needs.

The International Choreographers Residency (ICRJ brings promising choreogra- phers to ADF for seven weeks. The variety and scope of ADF's performances and classes offer choreographers from abroad an opportu- nity to immerse themselves in American mod- ern dance. Under the International Choreogra- phers Commissioning Program (ICCPJ, ADF offers six-week residencies to three or four previous ICR participants. While in residence, they create new dance works for ADF dancers which are premiered during ADF's perfor- mance season. The Institutional Linkage Pro- gram (ILP) developed out of the worldwide network of choreographers that emerged from ADF's ICR program. Many ICR participants are affiliated with major dance institutions in their home countries and are eager to build upon previous ICR connections. ADF collabo- rates with foreign ICR participants and the ap- propriate USIS post (see Part II for addresses of USIS posts) to create a linkage that meets the needs of their international partner. Link- ages emphasize the connection of modern dance to the traditions of other countries. Finally, on a larger scale, ADF periodically organizes "mini-ADFs" abroad with the support of an international host. These mini-ADFs run for two weeks and offer daily classes for students, performances by U.S. modern dance compa- nies, as well as lecture presentations by ADF's faculty.

In addition, BNCs may be able to furnish artists' fees and publicity for U.S. artists wishing to perform or exhibit abroad. Some countries have multiple BNCs, in which case you should target your cities of interest and contact the BNCs there, as well as the BNC in the capital city (indicated by * in the list below). A few BNCs participate in the International Arts Programming Network which pro- vides touring opportunities to a number of countries. This pilot network was devel- oped so that arts groups from countries with binational centers may travel in the United States through the six-member circuit of U.S. regional arts organizations (RAOs), and so that U.S. artists may travel through a BNC circuit that currently includes seven BNCs in Latin America and Southeastern Europe. Performing and visual arts present- ers should contact the Director of Programs at the Mid-America Arts Alliance for fur- ther information. Another activity of note is the BNC Circuit, a small program with limited funding admin- istered by USIA's Office of Cultural Cen- ters. Under this program, U.S. performing arts groups and visual arts exhibitions travel to BNCs across Latin America. Only perfor- mances and exhibitions that are small in scale and technically simple can be included in the Circuit, due to the limited space and funds of the BNCs. Government Ministries (GM) however those included in this guide are also concerned with fostering cross-cultural ex- change. They are good sources of infor- mation, especially about large cultural festi- vals, exhibitions and top name artists in your country of interest. They generally do not offer funding to foreign artists, although they may support a collaboration between a U.S. and local artists. Service Organizations (SO) Foreign service organizations may serve a single arts discipline or the broad cultural arena. They are generally private, nonprofit organizations with limited funding but exten- sive contact lists and knowledge of their fields. Service organizations will often be most responsive to your inquiries. Presenting Organizations (PO) These include cultural centers, museums, theaters and other organizations that house and/or help produce performances or exhi- bitions. Those included in this guide have expressed an interest in, or have in the past worked with international artists. Foundations (F) These are generally private, nonprofit organi- zations, funded by corporate and private donations that support arts activities. They often have funds for local performances and exhibitions, and may bring in international artists for collaborations or tours.
