- How does the State Touring Program work?
Presenters book and contract with one or more artists from the current "Arts on Tour - Florida's State Touring Roster" and then apply to the Division for a portion of the artist's fee. - What is available through the State Touring Program?
Organizations may request fee support to present artists featured in the roster. Presenters in underpopulated counties may request 2/3 of the artist's fee, all others may request 1/3 of the artist's fee. - If I want to present more than one artist, can I combine them on the same application form?
No, please fill out a separate application form for each of the artists you wish to present. - Can I present as many artists as I want?
No, you can only receive grants to present five artists (or a maximum or $20,000 in fee support). - When the grant is awarded, where do the funds get sent?
All funds awarded through the State Touring Program are paid directly to the presenter (the applicant) who, in turn, pays the artist. - What is the roster?
The Arts on Tour state touring roster typically contains 20-30 approved artists and companies. Information includes a photograph, fee information, availability, and a description of the touring programming. The roster is advertised throughout the state of Florida to K-12 schools and presenting organization. - Who is eligible to be on the roster?
Artists and companies must be Florida-based and certify that they have not formed a for-profit corporation. See the guidelines for more roster eligibility requirements. - What is the roster application process?
Applications for the roster are accepted every two years. A peer review panel evaluates the applications and makes recommendations for the roster. - How are the artists paid?
All touring artists are paid by the presenter. The Division does not make any payments directly to the artist.
