The Artists Exploration Fund, made possible by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, is designed to enable individual U.S. performing artists to pursue opportunities abroad that further their artistic development.

Grants, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000, supports a variety of activities including the development or expansion of creative relationships with artists and arts organizations, the exploration of artistic forms, or creation of new work, either individually or in collaboration with artists abroad. Eligible expenses may include international and in-country travel, food and lodging, and other essential costs.

Travel to any country outside the United States and its protectorates is eligible. Applicants must be individual performing artists who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applications will not be accepted from students, scholars, curators, presenters, administrators, and critics.

Guidelines and application forms for the Artists Exploration Fund are available on the Arts International Web site.
