Presenters may book artists in any discipline, not just in performing arts. Projects should strive to integrate an arts discipline into non-arts content areas, help interpret an exhibition, performance or presentation, and support community development goals and objectives. Please visit the Kansas Touring Roster page for information about bringing roster artists to your community and to access the application.
Grant Amount: $1,000 – $7,500 Kansas Touring Roster requests may utilize a $1,000 credit to assist with meeting match or covering artist fees in their application budget. See the Touring Roster page for more information. KAC requires that all grants are matched at a minimum of 1:1 through a combination of cash and in-kind expenses.
For example, if your grant request is $10,000, your organization would be expected to spend $10,000 in expenses from other non-state and non-federal sources towards the project, for total project expenses of $20,000. This can include any allowable in-kind goods or services. Applicant organizations based in a Rural Opportunity Zone may claim in-kind non-monetary donations as up to 100% of the required matching funds.
