Did you know that The Arts Midwest Touring Fund can help you bring ANY show that GEM offers to your non-profit venue?
Arts Midwest Touring Fund grants are made directly to organizations in Arts Midwest’s nine-state region of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Funded engagements must feature a public performance and community activity, and reach an underserved audience with the goal of fostering exchange between professional touring artists and Midwest communities.
The community activity can be as basic as an extended talk back with audience members after a performance or an accompanying workshop. We are available and have experience bringing workshops to many age groups and underserved communities. Check out our workshop page for more ideas!
