Opportunity Summary:
The NEA USArtists International, FY 2010 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1002) is a discretionary National Endowment for the Arts program designed to help artists and arts organizations from the United States take part in high-profile international festivals and other major cultural events outside the country. The core idea behind the initiative is that nonprofit U.S. artists present a broader and more nuanced picture of American cultural life than what international audiences typically see through widely distributed U.S. popular culture. By helping U.S. artists show work abroad and connect with peers from many nations, the program aims to strengthen artistic exchange while also supporting meaningful creative and career development.
Rather than funding individual artists directly through this announcement, the NEA planned to make one Cooperative Agreement award to a Regional Arts Organization (RAO) to operate and support the USArtists International initiative. The funded RAO would administer support in two main areas. First, it would provide assistance to U.S. artists and U.S. arts organizations that have already been invited to participate in international festivals or other significant cultural events abroad, especially where the opportunity is considered exceptional for professional growth and visibility. Second, it would enable rapid-response support for special international exchange opportunities identified by the NEA that come together quickly and require fast action; these could involve U.S. and/or international artists and organizations, and the activities could occur either in the United States or in other countries.
This FY 2010 competition anticipated a single award with a total amount of $235,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $235,000, meaning the one selected RAO would receive the full amount. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching. The program falls under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals. The period of support for the Cooperative Agreement was expected to begin no earlier than April 1, 2010, and could run through September 30, 2012, allowing time for multi-year planning, subgranting or regranting activity, and administration of time-sensitive exchange opportunities.
Eligibility for applying under this specific announcement was limited to the six officially recognized Regional Arts Organizations, and applicants had to meet the RAO eligibility requirements outlined in the NEA Partnership guidelines. The broader list of eligible applicant types shown in the posting (such as governments, school districts, higher education institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits) reflects standard Grants.gov categories, but the actual competition restriction was to RAOs only. The announcement also noted a standard NEA rule that an organization cannot receive more than one NEA award for the same project during the same or overlapping period of support.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a deadline of January 20, 2010, by 11:59 p.m. The NEA encouraged applicants to submit at least 10 days early to allow time to resolve any technical or submission issues. The opportunity was posted on November 23, 2009, and the archived date was February 19, 2010. For applicants unable to access the full announcement online, the notice directed them to contact the NEA Web Site Manager.
