Description of Program The Travel and Study Grant Program awards grants to emerging artists who create new work, rotating the eligible disciplines in alternating years.

Grants of up to $1,500 will be awarded for short-term travel of three to six days. Grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded for trips of one week or longer. Eligible applicants working collaboratively may apply on one application form if the monies requested do not exceed $5,000. Applicants may use grants for extended travel and study if supplementary resources are committed.

The Travel and Study Grant Program rotates disciplines in alternating years:
2015: Music, Theater, and Visual Arts (composers, sound artists, playwrights, creators of performance art and experimental theater, and visual artists)
2016: Dance, Film and Video, and Literature
Conditions/Public Service Requirements In order to receive payment, a recipient is required to submit an itinerary for the travel and study period, with confirmed schedules and proof of travel, at least two weeks prior to departure.

This grant may not be used for touring, performances, concerts, exhibitions, production of new work, and teaching. Purchase of equipment is not an eligible expense, unless the item’s cost is less than $100 and necessary for the trip. Salary replacement and an honorarium for the applicant are not eligible expenses. Other expenses may include such items as daycare, language classes, and pro-rated housing payments and utilities. Be detailed and accurate in the budget information. If a trip is funded, the grant recipient will not be able to reduce the duration of the trip, change the trip destinations, and change the amounts and types of expense items.
