International Arts Program
The Arizona Commission on the Arts International Program
provides artists, arts organizations and arts professionals with opportunities
to participate in cultural and artistic international exchanges.
This program ensures representation of Arizona artists and arts
professionals, from a variety of disciplines, at major festivals, conferences
and exhibitions and exposes residents in Arizona communities to international
artists visiting the state. The
International Program offers these programs:
Professional
Development
The
International Professional Development Program is available throughout the year
to help Arizona artists and representatives of Arizona arts organizations attend
international conferences/workshops/seminars/retreats that will
contribute to their professional growth. Subject to approval, Professional
Development Grants to artists or arts organizations are awarded up to $750. The
intent of these grants is as a learning/artistic/administrative development
opportunity for the applicants, not as a means to present or exhibit the
applicant's work. The International Professional Development Grant is intended
to encourage arts organizations to form partnerships and collaborate with arts
professionals abroad. For full guidelines, go to www.azarts.gov/qtg/professional_development.htm.
Applications are
accepted until grant funds are expended.
