Hello all, Here is some potentially good news in terms of arts funding. Reach out to me for an initial free conversation. My rates to create applications are reasonable and artist friendly. Margaret Jazz Road Tours, a program of South Arts, provides grants to jazz artists for three- to six-site tours across the United States and its territories. Individual artists (as an individual, an artist-led nonprofit organization, or an artist-led corporation) may apply for tours at an array of venue types. Applicants must be professional jazz artists over the age of 18, working solo or working with a composer-led or collective jazz ensemble, that are based in and citizens of the U.S. Funding covers performance fees, travel, lodging, meals, backline equipment, and up to $2,500 for non-musician personnel. Priority is given to tours including engagements in rural areas or that reach typically underserved communities.
