Performing Arts Fund
The Performing Arts Fund supports the inter-state touring of professional performing artists specializing in the fine arts of dance, theater, music, youth and family entertainment, and other meaningful performing arts forms appropriate for communities throughout Arts Midwest’s nine-state region. These engagements include public performances and in-depth educational activities reaching audiences that lack access to the performing arts. Performing Arts Fund grants are applied for by and made directly to presenting organizations in our nine-state region of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

It’s always great to see our grantees face-to-face, whether it’s greeting old friends or finally meeting the folks we speak to via e-mail or telephone.
