The Passim Touring Artist Grant was established to help make touring financially feasible for emerging artists in the New England community. The Fund will award grants annually to qualified acts via a juried submission process.
Applications will be accepted from September 1st – October 5th with recipients being notified in December.
Requirements for the grant:
- Grants are $1,000 per act to go towards touring expenses (including but not limited to lodging, transportation, and food).
- Artists must maintain strong ties to the Northeastern US, though the tour does not have to include dates in the Northeast.
- This should be for a tour in the next 4 months. This grant defines a tour as at least 5 show dates outside of the area you immediately live.
- This grant is geared towards directly supporting independent artists with touring-related costs. Therefore we require this application to be filled out by the artist and not other industry professionals (such as managers, agents, promoters, etc).
We prefer artists who have not been given a grant from Passim in the past (though that does not disqualify you). Projects that involve current Passim employees, staff, or board members may not apply.
Please email grants@passim.org with any questions.
