National Endowment for the Arts  
About Us
 

PRESENTING

This area is for projects and organizations that embrace multiple disciplines from the performing, visual, media, design, and literary arts. These projects and organizations support every stage of the artistic process including arts services, artist communities, training, residencies, commissioning, presentations, touring and access, documentation, publishing, and preservation.

Projects that present or otherwise feature a single discipline (e.g., dance, music, visual arts) should apply through that discipline. There is one exception, however, for outdoor historical dramas; for more information see the description of project types accepted under the March 10, 2008, Access to Artistic Excellence application deadline.


Funding Opportunities in Presenting


Grants for Arts Projects
CFDA No. 45.024

The National Endowment for the Arts' primary funding opportunities for organizations can be found here. An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2009 Grants for Arts Projects categories (see "Application Limits" for the few exceptions to this rule). For most organizations, these categories represent the full range of funding options for the entire year. Applicants should examine the goal and purposes of their project as well as the review criteria of these three categories, and apply to the one category that is most relevant. The Arts Endowment will not transfer applications between categories.
