ARTS 


A  Letter  from  the  Chairman 


^Jrums  of  Africa  echo  across  America.  The 
grace  of  an  Indonesian  dancer  finds  a  partner 
on  the  stage  of  the  New  York  City  Ballet.  A 
line  drawn  by  a  Finnish  designer  is  picked  up 
and  continued  in  Chicago.  The  hands  that 
mold  clay  on  a  turning  potter's  wheel  may 
belong  to  an  artist  in  Morocco,  Spain,  New 
Zealand  or  New  Mexico.  A  fiddler  in  Donegal 
plays  a  tune  in  the  same  high  lonesome  sounds 
heard  in  the  hills  of  Appalachia.  Shakespeare 
is  being  performed  tonight  in  Sydney,  Toron- 
to, Sao  Paulo,  and  Boston.  A  woman  paints  a 
still  life  in  Tokyo,  in  Warsaw,  in  Quito,  in  San 
Francisco. 

Art  is  a  universal  language,  one  that  breaks 
the  barriers  of  speech  and  custom  to  remind  us 
time  and  again  of  our  common  humanity.  To 
understand  ourselves  and  our  brothers  and  sis- 
ters in  nations  across  the  globe,  we  only  need 
look  closely  at  their  art  and  the  spirit  within 
it.  Recognizing  the  importance  of  discovering 
what  unites  peoples,  the  U.S. government  is 
committed  to  international  arts  exchange,  and 
the  National  Endowment  for  the  Arts  is  one 
Federal  agency  helping  make  that  exchange 
possible  and  fruitful. 

The  small,  growing  International  Pro- 
gram at  the  Arts  Endowment  assists  United 
States  artists  and  arts  institutions  as  they 
strengthen  their  international  ties.  The  Pro- 
gram has  information  and  insights  on  interna- 
tional cultural  activities  unmatched  elsewhere 
in  this  country.  Because  of  the  complexities  of 
the  network  that  exists  throughout  the  United 
States  for  international  cultural  exchange,  our 


International  Program  has  developed  this  clear 
and  concise  guidebook. 

This  guide  serves  two  purposes.  The  first 
is  to  introduce  you  to  the  work  of  our  Interna- 
tional Program  and  how  it  complements  the 
work  of  other  federal,  state,  and  local  govern- 
ment entities  to  promote  arts  exchange.  The 
second  purpose  is  to  provide  a  comprehensive 
and  user-friendly  source  of  information  for 
those  interested  in  international  arts  exchange. 

In  addition  to  its  modest  grants  program, 
our  International  Program  functions  as  a  sign- 
post to  direct  artists  and  arts  organizations  to 
other  sources  of  information  and  funding  that 
make  possible  international  cultural  exchange. 
An  extraordinary  interest  in  international  arts 
exchange  has  manifested  itself  in  every  corner 
of  our  vast  country.  From  New  York  City  to 
Los  Angeles,  from  Omaha  to  Albuquerque, 
communities  large  and  small  are  recognizing 
that  international  arts  exchange  can  provide 
unmatched  experience  for  their  artists  and  en- 
hance the  prestige  and  economic  vitality  of 
their  city  or  town.  With  our  limited  funds,  we 
cannot  hope  to  address  this  groundswell  of 
interest.  Therefore,  we  have  developed  this 
guide  to  help  you  find  who  in  the  often  per- 
plexing array  of  public  and  private  flinders 
can  support  the  work  you  are  doing.  We  want 
to  put  these  resources  at  your  fingertips.  So 
turn  the  pages  and  you  will  discover  a  world 
of  opportunities.

A  Note  from  the  Director 


Ihe  Arts  Endowment's  International  Program 
is  devoted  to  broadening  the  scope  of  experi- 
ence of  American  artists  to  enrich  the  art  that 
they  create.  Its  activities  help  increase  world- 
wide recognition  of  the  excellence,  diversity, 
and  vitality  of  the  arts  of  the  United  States.  In 
addition,  it  supports  innovative  international 
endeavors  that  increase  arts  audiences  and 
deepen  public  understanding  of  the  cultural 
influences  from  abroad  that  invigorate  Ameri- 
can society.  Through  all  its  work,  the  Pro- 
gram helps  American  artists  and  arts  organiza- 
tions develop  international  ties  that  strengthen 
the  many  art  forms  of  the  United  States. 

The  Endowment's  in-depth  involvement 
in  international  activities  began  in  1978.  We 
provided  support  to  the  United  States  Infor- 
mation Agency  (USIA),  which  aims  to  in- 
crease international  understanding  of  U.S.  so- 
ciety, for  its  international  arts  programs.  In 
1984,  the  Endowment  established  the  Office 
of  International  Activities  whose  role  was  to 
serve  as  an  advocate  for  U.S.  arts  and  artists 
internationally.  Recognizing  the  need  to  take 
a  greater  leadership  role  to  support  interna- 
tional arts  activities  and  information  exchanges, 
the  Arts  Endowment  formally  created  the 
International  Program  in  1993. 

When  I  began  my  tenure  as  director  in 
September  1990,  I  felt  strongly  that  the  Pro- 
gram should  serve  not  only  as  a  funding  re- 
source, but  also  as  an  advocate  and  source  of 
information  for  artists  and  arts  organizations 


to  help  foster  international  arts  exchanges. 
International  elements  are  routinely  integrated 
into  the  art  that  is  created  and  presented 
throughout  the  United  States.  The  increasing 
demand  for  support  has  severely  strained  the 
modest  resources  available  to  fund  internation- 
ally-based work.  The  need  to  identify  new 
resources  to  support  international  arts  ex- 
changes has  been  an  impetus  for  creating  this 
guide. 

We  have  provided  information  on  as  many 
resources  as  are  known  to  us  that  provide 
funding  or  information  to  artists  or  arts  organ- 
izations wishing  to  work  internationally.  We 
do  realize,  however,  that  the  information  is 
only  useful  when  it  is  current  and  accurate.  We 
therefore  encourage  you  to  share  your  views, 
comments  and  experiences  with  us,  so  that  we 
can  update  and  improve  this  guide.  If  we  have 
missed  any  resources,  please  write  us  about 
them  and  we  will  include  them  in  future  edi- 
tions. The  entries  in  the  guide  are  based  on 
exhaustive  research  and  interviews  with  each 
organization  that  is  listed.  All  entrants  have 
agreed  to  be  included,  though  a  listing  in  this 
guide  in  no  way  constitutes  an  endorsement  of 
any  organization  by  the  U.S.  Government. 
My  sincere  gratitude  to  all  those  involved  in 
this  massive  undertaking.

Resources  for 
International  Arts  Exchange 


Chapter  1: 

An  Introduction  to  International  Arts  Resources 


Ihroughout  the  United  States  communities 
are  recognizing  that  international  arts  inter- 
change of  the  highest  caliber  provides  un- 
matched experience  for  their  artists,  enhances 
the  prestige  and  economic  vitality  of  their 
towns,  sparks  interest  to  participate  in  the 
global  marketplace,  and  improves  the  quality 
of  life. 

Education  is  at  the  core  of  international 
exchange,  and  through  increased  access  to 
such  activities,  the  more  than  170  different 
ethnic  groups  represented  in  this  country  learn 
more  about  the  roots  of  their  own  cultures  and 
those  of  other  societies.  International  cultural 
events  foster  cultural  literacy  and  greater  audi- 
ence interest  in  a  wide  range  of  art  forms.  In 
addition,  communities  have  found  that  expo- 
sure to  a  variety  of  cultural  traditions  engen- 
ders greater  mutual  respect  among  their  dif- 
ferent cultural  groups. 

Today,  there  is  heightened  international- 
ism in  all  aspects  of  U.S.  society.  Changing 
political,  social  and  economic  conditions  in 
this  country  and  around  the  world  have 
stimulated  international  exchanges  in  the  arts. 
It  remains  difficult,  however,  to  obtain  sup- 
port for  these  activities.  As  more  artists  seek 
to  explore  the  artistic  expressions  of  their  cul- 
tural and  ethnic  heritages,  and  more  organiza- 
tions seek  to  collaborate  with  traditional  and 
contemporary  artists  abroad,  the  resources  to 
fund  this  work  are  in  great  demand. 

In  writing  this  guide,  we  have  tried  to 
respond  to  what  we  detect  to  be  a  growing 
interest  in  international  work  in  the  arts.  Ev- 
ery day  our  office  receives  calls  from  poten- 
tial applicants  seeking  advice  on  how  to  make 
their  international  project  happen. 

By  far,  the  most  commonly  asked  ques- 
tion is  "Where  can  I  go  for  funding?"  Some 
ask  about  contacts  abroad,  embassy  connec- 


tions, or  how  to  plan  a  residency.  Others  want 
information  on  obtaining  a  visa  for  visiting 
foreign  artists  or  themselves.  Questions  vary 
widely  in  scope,  and  the  International  Pro- 
gram staff  senses  an  urgent  need  in  the  field 
for  a  central  resource  providing  basic  answers 
and  guidance  to  artists  and  arts  adnunistrators 
interested  in  international  exchange.  This  guide 
represents  our  attempt  to  assemble  informa- 
tion gathered  over  the  past  three  years. 

It  is  organized  in  two  parts.  Part  I  provides 
annotated  information  about  potential  hinders 
and  service  organizations;  Part  II  is  a  directory 
with  various  listings  of  resources  for  interna- 
tional art  activities.  Chapter  Two  outlines 
federal  government  programs,  including  the 
National  Endowment  for  the  Arts,  the  United 
States  Information  Agency,  and  other  less  ob- 
vious agencies  that  may  support  international 
work.  The  private  funding  community's  inter- 
national interests  are  profiled  in  Chapter  Three. 
To  compile  this  information,  we  conducted  a 
phone  survey  of  hinders  listed  in  the  National 
Guide  to  Funding  in  Arts  and  Culture  (1992) 
and  the  Directory  of  International  Corporate 
Giving  in  America  and  Abroad  (1993). 

As  important  as  the  dollars  are,  so,  too,  are 
the  people  who  can  put  you  in  touch  with 
others  to  help  you  carry  out  your  project. 
Service  organization  staff  members  are  linked 
to  a  network  of  contacts  in  their  particular 
field  that  can  be  of  great  assistance.  Chapter 
Four  includes  information  on  service  organi- 
zations that  have  indicated  an  ability  and  a 
willingness  to  help  artists  with  international 
work.  These  organizations  can  assist  you  by 
providing  international  contacts,  referrals,  tech- 
nical assistance  and/or  travel  grants. 

Finally,  it  is  of  utmost  importance  to  de- 
velop contacts  with  the  arts  community  in 
your  region  and  abroad  before  your  trip.  Your 


introduction 


conversations  and  letters  will  lead  you  to  con- 
tacts in  your  country  of  interest.  Many  promi- 
nent cultural  organizations  can  provide  artists 
with  specific  information  based  on  their  par- 
ticular needs  (eg.,  contacts,  housing,  funding). 
Part  II,  the  Directory  of  Resources,  provides 
Listings  of  those  organizations,  including  state 
and  local  arts  agencies  and  organizations 
abroad  such  as  binational  centers,  government 
ministries,  service  organizations,  presenting 
organizations,  foundations  and  corporations 
whose  assistance  can  be  invaluable  in  re- 
sponding to  your  specific  requests. 

For  Those  Contemplating  Work 
Abroad 

Realizing  how  much  work  is  involved  in  launch- 
ing an  international  project,  you  must  hon- 
estly assess  whether  now  is  the  appropriate 
time  for  you  or  your  organization  to  embark 
on  one.  Keep  in  mind  that  you  will  have  to 
devote  much  time  and  effort  to  make  the 
project  successful.  Should  you  decide  to  pro- 
ceed, however,  a  deeply  meaningful  experi- 
ence may  await  you.    ~ 

For  some  artists  and  organizations,  work- 
ing abroad  is  an  important  "next  step*  in  their 
work  as  they  prepare  to  expand  their  horizons 
and  move  on  to  a  new  level  of  exposure,  both 
of  their  art  to  new  audiences  and  of  themselves 
to  new  experiences.  Some  note  a  strong  desire 
to  explore  their  roots.  Others  want  to  study 
with  a  master  teacher,  to  learn  new  skills,  or 
to  seek  out  topical  subject  matter,  traditions  or 
styles.  After  mastering  their  discipline  and 
their  home  environment,  they  are  ready  to 
move  beyond;  experiencing  another  culture 
becomes  a  necessary  outgrowth  of  their  work. 
Others  are  motivated  by  a  drive  to  re-experi- 
ence that  common  bond,  that  universality, 
reflected  in  the  human  condition  that  is  so 
often  the  fabric  of  art. 

What  makes  some  international  projects 
successful  while  others  are  less  so?  Frequently, 
it  is  the  project  director's  commitment  to  mak- 


ing the  project  happen.  A  visionary  force  com- 
bined with  a  determined  confidence  drives  the 
best  international  projects.  You  must  truly 
want  your  project  to  happen,  because  it  re- 
quires extraordinary  resourcefulness  to  initi- 
ate the  contacts  and  raise  the  money  to  accom- 
plish an  international  endeavor  successfully. 

In  many  ways,  the  task  of  raising  funds  can 
be  likened  to  a  job  search.  Networks  of  busi- 
ness colleagues,  friends,  and  other  artists  can  all 
provide  contacts  with  others  who  share  an 
interest  in  a  foreign  country.  Often,  it  takes  a 
groundswell  of  support,  mustered  by  you,  to 
attract  positive  attention  to  your  project  from 
the  media,  your  local  and  state  governments, 
and  local  businesses.  Because  there  are  so  few 
funders  for  international  activities,  you  may 
have  to  put  some  of  your  own  money  toward 
turning  your  idea  into  a  reality.  For  an  artist 
or  an  organization  just  starting  in  the  interna- 
tional realm,  local  fundraising  is  likely  to  be 
most  fruitful.  For  example,  good  old  fashioned 
bake  sales,  car  washes,  and  raffles  have  helped 
many  Arts  Endowment  grantees  raise  start-up 
funds  for  their  international  projects. 

Project  Research 

It  is  important  to  explore  cultural  values  and 
sensitivities  in  the  culture  with  which  you  wish 
to  work.  These  include  concepts  of  time, 
physical  space,  gender  role,  religious  practices, 
political,  economic,  and  social  issues  in  the 
country  and  with  respect  to  the  United  States. 
For  example,  a  woman  artist  going  to  work 
in  a  Muslim  society  should  thoroughly  famil- 
iarize herself  with  customs  that  might  restrict 
her  access  to  Muslim  communities.  Religious 
practices  (holidays,  fast  days)  can  also  affect 
your  schedule.  Find  out  the  dates  of  national 
and  religious  holidays.  Will  they  interfere  with 
your  work,  either  because  of  the  national  mood 
or  the  lack  of  availability  of  local  artists  or 
master  teachers?  Will  stores  be  closed?  Do 
you  want  to  observe  religious  practices?  Will 
they  be  open  to  you  as  an  outsider?  Informal 


Introduction 


informational  interviews  with  regional  experts 
in  the  United  States  (found  through  culture- 
specific  service  organizations  and  in  local 
universities)  may  facilitate  your  work  by  pro- 
viding valuable  overseas  contacts. 

You  should  also  examine  practical  matters 
such  as  climate,  food,  housing,  transportation, 
local  and  international  communications,  and 
language  interpretation.  You  should  identify 
which  supplies  you  will  need  to  take  from  the 
United  States,  and  which  are  available  in  your 
country  of  destination,  and  for  what  price.  If 
you  create  new  work  abroad  that  you  cannot 
carry  with  you  on  your  return,  you  will  want 
to  investigate  shipping  costs. 

Garnering  Resources 

Research  the  resources  in  the  country  you  wish 
to  visit,  while  simultaneously  learning  every- 
thing you  can  about  your  home  business  com- 
munity. Many  of  your  answers,  funds  and 
contacts  will  come  from  state  or  local  sources. 
National  resources  can  also  be  of  tremendous 
assistance.  This  book  has  been  designed  to 
guide  you  through  the  extensive  network  of 
organizations  nationwide  that  can  help  you 
achieve  your  international  goals. 

A  good  place  to  begin  your  search  is  the 
local  chamber  of  commerce.  Contact  that  of- 
fice to  find  out  if  your  country  of  destination 
does  business  with  your  community.  Identify 
common  interests,  evaluate  how  they  coincide 
with  yours,  and  begin  thinking  of  ways  to 
develop  a  relationship  based  on  possible  shared 
interests.  In  addition,  contact  your  state  and 
local  governments  through  the  appropriate 
arts  agencies;  many  work  internationally  with 
Sister  Cities  International  or  Partners  of  the 
Americas.  Some  are  engaged  in  specific  ex- 
change programs  as  well.  For  example, 
Oklahoma's  State  Arts  Council  and  the  state's 
Tourism  and  Recreation  Department,  jointly 
funded  six  Oklahoma  groups  to  go  to  Mexico 
to  perform  at  the  Oktoberfest  in  Guadalajara, 
Jalisco  (Oklahoma's  sister  state  through  Part- 


ners of  the  Americas). 

When  applying  to  a  private  funder  or  a 
government  funding  program,  keep  the  fol- 
lowing in  mind.  First,  if  they  request  a  work 
sample,  submit  one  of  the  highest  quality.  The 
importance  of  this  aspect  of  your  proposal 
cannot  be  overemphasized.  An  intelligently 
written  application  cannot  counteract  a  me- 
diocre work  sample.  If  your  work  sample 
compels,  your  proposal  may  receive  the  ben- 
efit of  the  doubt,  but  not  vice  versa.  You  may 
even  consider  developing  a  new  work  sample 
that  draws  a  clear  connection  between  your  art 
and  your  project  abroad.  Your  work  sample 
should  be  as  relevant  as  possible  to  the  work 
you  intend  to  do  abroad. 

If  there  is  a  formal  application  or  instruc- 
tions on  how  to  submit  proposals,  read  them 
carefully  and  do  exactly  what  is  requested. 
Most  hinders  have  program  officers  who  can 
provide  technical  assistance  by  phone  once 
you  are  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  applica- 
tion requirements.  Important  points  to  high- 
light in  your  proposal  might  be:  artistic  excel- 
lence and  achievements;  why  you  have  chosen 
your  country  of  destination;  the  planning  you 
have  done  to  make  the  project  feasible;  and 
why  you  wish  to  work  abroad  at  this  point  in 
your  career.  Respond  directly  to  any  questions 
posed  and  be  as  specific  as  possible  about  col- 
laborators and  contacts  abroad.  Costs  should 
be  accurate  and  reflect  in-depth  research  and 
planning.  Finally,  choose  your  supporting  ma- 
terials judiciously.  Send  only  the  required 
materials,  not  everything  available.  The  more 
concise  your  application,  the  more  it  will  hold 
its  readers'  attention.  Those  reviewing  grant 
applications  consider  a  huge  amount  of  mate- 
rial and  rarely  have  the  time  to  read  every 
word. 

Preparing  for  Travel 

As  your  plans  solidify,  you  may  want  to  seek 
assistance  from  the  embassy  of  your  country  of 
destination.  When  calling,  ask  for  the  cultural 


Introduction 


attache.  Be  clear  about  the  kind  of  information 
you  require  and  build  in  waiting  time  for  the 
attache  to  gather  the  information  you  need. 
Embassies  can  help  you  in  a  variety  of  ways. 
Many  maintain  connections  in  their  home 
countries  with  arts  organizations,  festival  orga- 
nizers, and  exhibition  planners  looking  for 
U.S.  artists  to  participate  in  events  abroad.  The 
embassy's  cultural  staff  may  also  be  familiar 
with  foreign  arts  organizations  interested  in 
international  exchange  or  institutions  that  ad- 
vance cultural  awareness  about  their  home 
countries. 

As  you  prepare  to  travel,  you  might  con- 
tact relevant  domestic  and  foreign  commercial 
airlines.  Corporate  giving  policies  vary,  so  ask 
for  specific  guidelines  and  application  advice; 
remember  to  approach  both  national  and  re- 
gional airline  marketing  offices,  as  their  giving 
policies  often  differ.  U.S.  and  foreign  airlines 
occasionally  donate  airline  tickets  or  cargo 
space  or  may  offer  discount  fares  to  nonprofit 
organizations  or  individuals  of  significant  ar- 
tistic achievement.  As  each  request  is  consid- 
ered separately,  try  to  be  as  detailed  as  possible 
in  your  application  letter.  Describe  your  proj- 
ect and  try  to  illustrate  how  your  international 
arts  activities  may  benefit  the  airline's  cor- 
porate agenda. 

You  may  need  to  obtain  a  visa  to  work 
abroad  and  you  should  allow  ample  time  for 
the  visa  application  process.  Requirements  for 
U.S.  citizens  and  permanent  residents  of  the 
U.S.  vary  from  country  to  country.  To  obtain 
information  on  requirements  for  your  country 
of  interest,  contact  the  nearest  appropriate 
consulate  or  the  embassy  in  Washington,  DC. 
(See  Part  EI.)  Before  inquiring  about  specific 
visa  regulations,  you  should  be  able  to  provide 
the  following  information  to  determine  the 
correct  visa  category:  a)  the  length  of  time  of 
your  intended  stay;  b)  the  reason  for  your  visit 
-  tourism,  grant  work,  or  business;  c)  whether 
you  will  be  paid  by  an  entity  in  the  host 
country;  d)  the  source  of  your  payment  or 
grant.  With  this  information,  the  consulate 


will  be  able  to  determine  your  visa  status. 

In  addition,  ask  about  any  restrictions  on 
your  activity  abroad.  For  example,  artists  trav- 
eling to  Japan  on  a  grant  are  not  allowed  to 
"moon-light,"  or  take  on  any  paid  work  other 
than  that  for  which  they  received  the  grant. 
Also  inquire  about  extensions  of  stay,  should 
you  decide  to  prolong  your  visit  while  abroad. 
For  example,  U.S.  citizens  traveling  in  Spain 
for  up  to  three  months  need  only  a  passport;  an 
additional  three-month  extension  may  be  ob- 
tained from  a  Spanish  police  station.  Staying 
longer  than  six  months  requires  either  a  stu- 
dent or  resident  visa.  Compare  these  laws  with 
Indonesia's,  where  U.S.  tourists  may  not  ex- 
tend their  stay  beyond  two  months,  unless 
they  are  traveling  on  business. 

Hosting  Artists  from  Abroad 

If  your  international  activity  focuses  on  host- 
ing a  foreign  artist  or  group  in  this  country, 
much  of  the  preceding  information  on  re- 
search, networking,  and  fundraising  should  be 
useful.  In  addition,  you  should  be  aware  of  the 
special  nature  of  the  commitment  to  host  some- 
one from  abroad,  particularly  if  the  artists'  stay 
in  your  community  would  be  their  first  in- 
depth  experience  in  the  United  States.  Re- 
moved from  their  usual  support  networks, 
most  artists  will  expect  that  their  hosts  will 
help  them  set  up  social  as  well  as  work  related 
activities,  just  as  they  would  do  for  U.S.  artists 
visiting  in  their  country.  This  is  especially  true 
if  the  artists  speak  limited  English.  These  ac- 
tivities might  include  educational  field  trips  to 
sites  of  interest,  social  gatherings,  professional 
introductions  to  others  in  their  field,  or  being 
available  to  lend  a  helping  hand  throughout 
the  residency  period.  Volunteers  who  support 
your  organization  as  well  as  local  International 
Visitors  Councils  are  likely  resources  to  help  in 
this  regard. 

A  foreign  artist's  knowledge  of  your  orga- 
nization and  expectations  may  differ  from 
those  of  U.S.  artists.  Artists  from  abroad  could 


10 


Introduction 


have  more  than  the  usual  number  of  questions 
about  work  space,  schedules,  materials,  accom- 
modations, food  preparation,  finances,  social 
activities,  etc.  To  avoid  possible  misunder- 
standings, provide  very  specific  information, 
preferably  in  writing,  to  each  visiting  artist  on 
these  issues. 

If  you  are  bringing  international  artists  to 
present  to  your  audiences,  it  is  important  to 
plan  for  adequate  community  outreach  both  to 
local  immigrant  groups  and  to  other  audiences 
you  have  identified  for  this  work.  If  you  are 
hoping  to  expand  your  audiences  through  this 
international  presentation,  you  should  build 
in  sufficient  lead  time  to  foster  communication 
with  diverse  cultural  groups. 

To  take  fullest  advantage  of  the  visit  of 
your  guest  artists  from  abroad,  it  is  useful  to 
plan  lecture/demonstrations,  workshops,  mas- 
ter classes  or  other  opportunities  for  interac- 
tion with  local  artists  and  interested  commu- 
nity members.  Working  collaboratively  with 
schools,  universities,  community  centers,  and 
culture-specific  organizations  can  lead  to  the 
development  of  excellent  educational  materi- 
als about  the  artists  and  the  art  forms  that  they 


represent,  and  this  will  attract  broader,  better 
informed  audiences  to  your  presentations. 

Conclusion 

The  International  Program  staff  compiled  the 
information  in  this  guide  to  lead  you  through 
the  process  of  planning  and  raising  funds  for 
international  arts  exchange.  In  so  doing,  we 
hoped  to  circumvent  many  of  your  blind  calls, 
while  at  the  same  time,  providing  ideas  and 
fresh  insights  on  developing  new  and  effective 
project  related  contacts.  There  is  no  way  around 
the  time-consuming  nature  of  this  work,  but 
we  hope  our  efforts  help  you  make  better  use 
of  your  time  as  your  ideas  evolve  into  plans. 

Please  let  us  know  if  you  find  the  infor- 
mation useful.  We  also  want  to  hear  about 
unnecessary  or  incorrect  entries,  and  we  are 
open  to  your  suggestions  for  future  revisions.

Chapter  2: 

U.S.  Government  Agencies 


I  he  most  obvious  federal  sources  for  art- 
ists working  abroad  are  the  National  Endow- 
ment for  the  Arts  and  the  United  States  Infor- 
mation Agency  (USIA).  Both  government 
agencies  sponsor  American  artistic  expression 
abroad.  In  addition,  the  Arts  Endowment  sup- 
ports innovative  international  endeavors  in 
the  United  States  that  increase  arts  audiences 
and  deepen  the  American  public's  understand- 
ing of  the  cultural  influences  from  abroad  that 
invigorate  U.S.  society.  You  will  find  informa- 
tion on  each  agency's  various  programs 
throughout  this  section.  In  addition  to  these 
funding  initiatives,  the  Arts  Endowment  and 
USIA  have  become  important  resources  for 
information  and  contacts  abroad  because  of 
the  wealth  of  knowledge  they  each  possess 
about  international  arts  activities. 

Beyond  the  Arts  Endowment  and  USIA, 
the  federal  government  probably  isn't  the  first 
source  that  comes  to  mind  for  your  interna- 
tional work  in  the  arts.  Yet  other  federal  agen- 
cies may  be  able  to  provide  assistance  and 
should  not  be  overlooked.  For  example,  the 
Smithsonian  Institution  has  a  separate  Office 
of  International  Relations  that  has,  in  the  past, 
conducted  artistic  and  cultural  exchanges.  The 
Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  De- 
velopment, while  restricted  by  a  lack  of  funds, 
can  also  serve  as  an  excellent  resource  for 
referrals  for  architects  and  design  artists.  A 
more  complete  list  follows. 

Finally,  you  may  find  it  useful  to  contact 
state  and  local  arts  agencies;  many  work  inter- 
nationally through  Sister  Cities  International 
or  Partners  of  the  Americas.  Some  administer 
programs  of  their  own. 

According  to  the  Arts  Endowment's  1994 
survey,  approximately  two  thirds  of  state 
arts  agencies  currently  support  international 
activities.  In  1992,  the  National  Assembly  of 
Local  Arts  Agencies  conducted  a  similar  sur- 


vey on  the  local  level  revealing  that  51.9  per- 
cent of  208  respondents  were  involved  in 
international  arts  exchange.  You  will  find  a  list 
of  those  agencies  that  responded  positively  to 
these  surveys  in  Part  II.  If  you  do  not  see  yours 
listed,  however,  do  not  assume  it  is  due  to  a  lack 
of  interest.  Many  existing  programs  were 
prompted  by  constituent  calls.  Yours  could  be 
the  next  inspiration. 

NATIONAL  ENDOWMENT  FOR 
THE  ARTS 

The  International  Program 

The  Arts  Endowment's  International  Program 
assists  a  broad  spectrum  of  artists  and  arts 
organizations  through  advocacy,  informational 
services  (such  as  national  workshops,  publica- 
tions and  individual  counseling)  and  modest 
grantmaking  activities.  You  will  find  a  list  of 
funding  categories  within  the  International 
Program  below.  Please  note  that  several  Inter- 
national Program  categories  are  administered 
by  outside  arts  organizations.  In  these  cases, 
applications  and  letters  of  intent  should  be 
sent  directly  to  the  addresses  listed. 

International  Projects  Initiative  (IPI) 

IPI  offers  grants  to  U.S.  cultural  nonprofit 
organizations  to  support  sustained  partner- 
ships, artistic  exchange,  or  collaborations  with 
artists  and  organizations  abroad.  Such  partner- 
ships may  involve  any  artistic  discipline  and 
may  take  place  in  the  U.S.  or  in  another 
country. 

Through  this  category  the  International 
Program  seeks  to  support  exemplary  arts 
projects  that  demonstrate: 

♦  significant  expertise  in  and  sensitivity 
to  the  foreign  culture(s)  involved; 


13 


U.S.  Government  Agencies 


♦  responsiveness  to  the  needs  of  the 
applicant  organization's  own  community/ 
constituency; 

♦  efforts  to  impart  benefits  of  interna- 
tional interchange  to  other  organizations 
and/or  wider  audiences. 

The  International  Program  encourages 
applications  from  U.S.  nonprofit  organiza- 
tions serving  the  diverse  cultural  communi- 
ties in  this  country  for  projects  that  involve 
interaction  with  their  cultures  of  origin  and/ 
or  that  establish  ties  with  other  cultural  com- 
munities. In  addition,  the  Program  encourages 
project  applications  that  promote  the  pres- 
ervation of  traditional,  community  based  skills 
in  the  face  of  global  industrialization  and  ur- 
banization. 

The  Program  welcomes  new  organiza- 
tional initiatives  and  is  equally  concerned 
with  strengthening  existing  programs  that 
meet  the  Initiative's  overall  goals.  Organiza- 
tions should  not  propose  projects  that  are 
beyond  their  staff  and  financial  means  or 
that  can  be  sustained  only  with  continued 
Arts  Endowment  funding. 

Limitations:  No  grants  to  individuals. 

Application  Procedure:  Contact  the  Inter- 
national Program  for  IPI  guidelines.

Program  materials. 

Arts  Link 

ArtsLink  enables  U.S.  artists  and  arts  organi- 


zations to  work  collaboratively  with  their 
counterparts,  both  in  this  country  and  in  the 
former  bloc  countries  of  Central  Europe,  East- 
ern Europe,  the  former  Soviet  Union,  and  the 
Baltics.  ArtsLink  has  two  main  components: 
ArtsLink  Collaborative  Projects  and  ArtsLink 
Fellowships. 

ArtsLink  Collaborative  Projects  supports 
U.S.  artists  working  on  mutually  beneficial 
projects  with  colleagues  abroad.  U.S.  artists 
may  apply  for  grants  to  pursue  artistic  collabo- 
rations and  artistic  exchange  that  will  enrich 
their  work  and/or  to  create  new  work  that 
draws  inspiration  from  the  international  expe- 
rience. 

ArtsLink  Fellowships  provides  matching 
funds  to  U.S.  organizations  interested  in  host- 
ing an  artist  or  arts  administrator  from  Eastern 
or  Central  Europe  or  the  former  Soviet  Union 
for  a  five-week  residency  in  the  United  States. 
Applicant  organizations  must  design  a  hands- 
on  fellowship  experience  that  provides  oppor- 
tunities for  the  visiting  professional  to  interact 
with  peers  and  the  community  at  large. 

ArtsLink  is  a  partnership  of  the  National 
Arts  Endowment,  the  Open  Society  Fund/ 
Soros  Centers  for  Contemporary  Arts,  The 
Starr  Foundation,  The  Trust  for  Mutual  Un- 
derstanding, and  Citizen  Exchange  Council. 

Application  Procedure:  Interested  artists  and 
organizations  should  apply  directly  to  Citizen 
Exchange  Council.

United  States/Japan  Creative  Artists' 
Fellowships 

The  United  States/Japan  Creative  Artists'  Fel- 
lowships are  six-month  fellowships  in  Japan. 
The  fellowships  are  designed  to  allow  five  U.S. 
artists  who  create  original  work  to  pursue  their 
individual  artistic  goals  and  interests  by  living 
in  Japan,  observing  developments  in  their  field 
and  meeting  with  their  professional  counter- 
parts in  Japan.  Potential  applicants  should  con- 
sider how  exposure  to  Japan  and  its  contem- 
porary or  traditional  arts  and  culture  might 
provide  an  important  influence  on  their  cre- 
ative work;  in  what  ways  working  in  Japan  is 
consistent  with  their  artistic  vision;  and  how 
the  activities  they  plan  to  pursue  in  Japan  will 
enhance  their  creative  goals. 

There  are  no  requirements  for  artistic  cre- 
ation, teaching,  or  public  demonstration  while 
in  Japan.  In  addition,  there  are  no  structured 
institutional  affiliations  or  living  arrangements 
for  fellows,  allowing  each  artist  maximum 
flexibility  in  designing  his  or  her  own  fellow- 
ship activities.  International  House  in  Tokyo 
will  help  make  introductions  into  the  artistic 
community  throughout  Japan  and  will  assist 
selected  artists  with  the  logistics  of  settling  in 
for  their  six-month  stay. 

United  States/Canada/Mexico  Creative 
Artists'  Residencies 

The  United  States/Canada/Mexico  Creative 
Artists'  Residencies  are  designed  to  enable 
twenty  U.S.  artists  (ten  in  Canada,  ten  in 
Mexico)  to  have  structured  interaction  with 


15 


U.S.  Government  Agencies 


colleagues  and  interested  audiences  in  Canada 
or  Mexico.  Artists  are  matched  with  host  sites 
for  two-month  residencies  during  which  they 
can  observe  artistic  developments  in  their 
fields,  expand  their  understanding  of  an  art 
form,  and  create  new  work  drawing  inspira- 
tion from  their  experience  abroad.  An  integral 
part  of  these  residencies  will  be  public  activities 
such  as  master  classes,  workshops,  in-school 
residencies,  collaborations  with  civic  organi- 
zations and  lecture  demonstrations  designed 
jointly  by  the  host  organization  and  the  visit- 
ing artist.  Artists  should  anticipate  dedicating 
up  to  eight  hours  a  week  to  these  activities. 

U.S.  arts  organizations  please  note:  Com- 
plementing these  opportunities  for  U.S.  art- 
ists, Canada  and  Mexico  will  each  send  ten 
artists  (twenty  total)  for  two-month  residen- 
cies with  U.S.  arts  organizations.  If  you  are 
interested  in  hosting  Canadian  or  Mexican 
visiting  artists,  call  the  International  Program 
to  request  the  Host  Organization  Program 
Announcement. 

Limitations:  Candidates  must  select  Japan, 
Canada,  or  Mexico  and  may  not  apply  for 
more  than  one  fellowship  or  residency  in  a 
given  year.  Candidates  are  ineligible  if,  within 
the  last  ten  years,  they  have  spent  more  than 
three  months  working  professionally  in  the 
country  they  wish  to  visit.

U.S.  INFORMATION  AGENCY 

(USIA) 

The  United  States  Information  Agency  is  an 
independent  foreign  affairs  agency  within  the 


executive  branch  of  the  U.S.  Government. 
USIA's  educational  and  cultural  activities  are 
conducted  to  advance  its  mission  of  promoting 
mutual  understanding  between  the  United 
States  and  other  nations. 

Your  major  point  of  contact  at  USIA  will 
be  the  Bureau  of  Educational  and  Cultural 
Affairs,  which  oversees  numerous  programs 
and  services  for  arts  and  cultural  exchange. 
The  Bureau  of  Broadcasting  may  also  be  of 
assistance  for  radio  and  other  forms  of  interna 
tional  communication  regarding  the  arts.  The 
following  is  a  descriptive  listing  of  USIA's 
various  programs.  For  detailed  information, 
please  contact  the  appropriate  USIA  office. 

The  agency  maintains  more  than  200  U.S. 
Information  Service  (USIS)  "posts"  staffed  by 
American  foreign  service  officers  and  foreign 
nationals  in  more  than  120  countries.  (The 
U.S.  Information  Agency  is  known  as  USIS 
abroad.)  See  Part  II  for  a  complete  list  of  USIS 
posts. 

Bureau  of  Educational  and  Cultural 
Affairs 

Within  this  Bureau,  you  may  seek  assistance 
from  Arts  America,  the  Office  of  Cultural 
Centers  and  Resources,  the  Office  of  Aca- 
demic Programs,  the  Office  of  Citizen  Ex- 
changes, the  Office  of  International  Visitors 
and  the  Cultural  Property  Staff. 

Arts  America 

Arts  America  administers  programs  aimed  at 
increasing  foreign  understanding  of  the  diverse 
creative  arts  of  the  United  States.  Arts  America 
resources  are  highly  targeted  to  reach  audi- 
ences in  countries  with  limited  exposure  to 
American  culture.  Arts  America's  activities 
are  developed  in  response  to  requests  from 
U.S.  Embassies  abroad.  Expert  panels  drawn 
from  the  U.S.  arts  community  review  the 
artistic  merit  of  U.S.  artists  to  work  abroad  and 
make  recommendations  for  USIA  support.  In 


16 


U.S.  Government  Agencies 


addition  to  its  program  activities,  Arts  America 
can  assist  privately-sponsored  arts  initiatives 
abroad  by  providing  referrals,  information  and 
contacts  in  other  countries.  Arts  America  also 
supports  the  Fund  for  U.S.  Artists  at  Interna- 
tional Festivals  and  Exhibitions.  (See  page  xx.) 
With  the  exception  of  its  Creative  Arts  Ex- 
changes Division,  Arts  America  is  not  a  grant 
application  program.  Rather  it  develops  pro- 
grams to  meet  specific  U.S.  Embassy  needs.

Within  Arts  America  there  are  several  pro- 
grams or  areas  of  concentration: 

Artistic  Ambassador  Program 

This  program  is  designed  to  enhance  cross- 
cultural  exchange  by  sending  new  musical  tal- 
ent abroad  to  perform  and  act  as  exponents  of 
American  music.  Artistic  Ambassadors  give 
regular  public  concerts  and  lecture-recitals  and 
may  conduct  master  classes  and  workshops. 
Eligible  musicians  are  sought  from  music 
schools,  conservatories,  colleges  and  universi- 
ties throughout  the  United  States.  They  must 
be  citizens  of  the  United  States,  and  at  least  21 
years  of  age.  Auditions  are  held  each  fall  in 
various  locations  throughout  the  United  States. 
Judges  evaluate  musical  ability  and  suitability 
as  a  "good  will  ambassador."  Instruments  re- 
quested vary  each  year. 

Performing  Arts  Program 

Every  year  Arts  America  sponsors  a  limited 
number  of  fully-funded  dance,  music  and  the- 
ater presentations  abroad.  Artists  are  selected 
based  on  criteria  that  include  artistic  excel- 
lence and  an  ability  to  explain  and  demonstrate 


their  art.  This  last  criterion  is  important  be- 
cause in  addition  to  performances,  overseas 
tours  often  involve  workshops,  master  classes 
and  receptions.  Arts  America,  in  cooperation 
with  the  sponsoring  U.S.  embassy,  provides 
international  travel,  living  expenses,  perfor- 
mance fees  and  technical  arrangements.  They 
concentrate  their  efforts  in  countries  where 
American  performers  rarely  appear  com- 
mercially. Sponsorship  and  facilitative  assis- 
tance by  Arts  America  is  generally  limited  to 
professional  performing  artists  and  groups. 
Arts  America  does  not  support  amateur  or 
community  groups,  or  any  groups  below  uni- 
versity age. 

Speaker  and  Cultural  Specialist  Program 

This  program  is  designed  to  foster  the  ex- 
change of  ideas  in  the  areas  of  creative  and 
performing  arts.  Expert  practitioners  of  the 
arts  are  recruited  in  response  to  requests  made 
by  U.S.  embassies  and  foreign  cultural  and 
educational  institutions.  Arts  America  speak- 
ers usually  spend  two  weeks  abroad  in  two  or 
more  countries  lecturing;  American  cultural 
specialists  spend  up  to  six  weeks  in  one  country 
working  and  consulting  with  foreign  colleagues, 
as  well  as  conducting  workshops  and  master 
classes. 

Fine  Arts  Exhibitions 

Arts  America  funds  exhibitions  which  are  pre- 
sented under  the  auspices  of  U.S.  embassies. 
Proposals  from  U.S.  museums  and  indepen- 
dent curators  are  reviewed  by  a  panel  which 
makes  recommendations  to  Arts  America.  The 
Arts  America  staff  selects  projects  for  devel- 
opment that  meet  program  needs  of  USIS  posts 
overseas.  The  staff  works  with  the  selected

parts  of  the  world.  The  Arts  America  fine  arts 
exhibition  program  is  not  a  grant  applica- 
tion program  and  is  not  intended  to  provide 
support  for  international  exhibition  tours

BNC  Circuit 

The  BNC  Circuit  is  a  small  program  with 
limited  funding  administered  by  Arts  Ameri- 
ca. Under  this  program,  small  U.S.  performing 
arts  groups  and  visual  arts  exhibitions  travel  to 
binational  centers  across  Latin  America.  (See 
page  xx).  Due  to  the  limited  facilities  and  small 
budgets  of  mostBNCs,  only  technically  simple, 
small-scale  performances  and  exhibitions  are 
considered.  For  further  information,  write  to 
Arts  America. 

Creative  Arts  Exchanges  Division 

The  Creative  Arts  Exchanges  Division  seeks 
to  link  American  arts  and  museum  profession- 
als and  institutions  with  their  counterparts  in 
other  countries.  It  accomplishes  this  goal 
through  projects  that  connect  professional 
networks  in  the  United  States  with  USIS  cul- 
tural offices  at  American  diplomatic  missions 
around  the  world. 

The  American  networks  provide  USIS  of- 
fices access  to  quality  arts  and  museum  activity 
in  the  United  States,  and  vice  versa.  The  divi- 
sion administers  a  grant  program  for  American 
nonprofit  organizations  that  helps  fund  such 
international  linkages;  serves  as  guide,  commu- 
nicator and  monitor  of  the  networks  created 
by  the  projects  it  funds;  and  encourages  pri- 
vate sector  support  so  as  to  ensure  follow-up 
and  continuity  in  the  linkages  so  created.  This 
division  periodically  announces  in  the  Federal 
Register  requests  for  proposals  (RFPs)  to  sup- 
port projects  of  the  highest  quality  arts  endeav- 
ors. (Contact  Arts  America  to  be  notified  of 
RFP  dates.)

may  be  of  interest: 

Centers  Management  Staff 

Binational  Centers  (BNCs)  are  independent, 
self-sustaining,  nonprofit  institutions  estab- 
lished in  a  number  of  countries  to  provide 
cultural  and  educational  programs  relating  both 
to  each  institution's  home  country  and  to  the 
United  States.  Over  80  percent  of  these  centers 
are  located  in  Latin  America,  with  additional 
centers  in  Europe  and  East  Asia.  Over  the  past 
several  years,  USIA  has  decreased  its  mone- 
tary support  of  BNCs,  but  the  agency  still 
maintains  strong  relations  with  many  of 
them.  BNCs  can  provide  contacts  in  the  local 
arts  community  and  space  for  performances, 
exhibitions  and/or  rehearsals.  In  addition,  they 
may  be  able  to  furnish  artists  fees  and  publicity 
for  U.S.  artists  wishing  to  perform  or  exhibit 
abroad.  (See  Part  II  for  a  list  of  BNCs  by 
country.)

Academic  Exchanges  Division 

This  division  administers  the  Fulbright  Pro- 
gram, which  is  divided  into  awards  for  post- 
doctoral level  scholars  (or  equivalent),  and  pre- 
doctoral  level  scholars.  Many  of  the  Fulbright 
grants  awarded  each  year  go  to  scholars  or 
practicing  artists  in  music,  theater,  dance,  art 
and  art  history,  and  American  literature.  The 
Council  for  International  Exchange  of  Schol- 
ars administers  the  Fulbright  Scholar  Program 
for  artists  with  an  MFA  degree,  professional 
experience  and  recognition  in  their  arts  field. 
Recipients  of  these  awards  use  funds  to  lecture 
at  foreign  colleges  or  universities,  or  to  receive 
advanced  professional  training.  Highly  quali- 
fied, non-degree  artists  and  craftspeople  are 
also  considered.  The  Institute  of  International 
Education  administers  the  student  fellowship 
portion  of  the  Fulbright  Program,  (up  to  the 
MFA  level  for  artists).  These  awards  are  for 
graduate  study,  research  and  practical  training. 
Most  Fulbright  awards  are  made  for  specific 
disciplines  in  specific  areas,  however,  many 
coun-tries  have  "open"  fellowship  slots  that 
can  be  filled  by  persons  from  any  field,  includ- 
ing the  arts. 

Application  Procedure:  Contact  the  Council 


for  International  Exchange  of  Scholars  (CIES) 
for  the  Scholar  Program  (post-MFA),  or  the 
Institute  of  International  Education  for  the 
Student  Program  (pre-MF  A)  to  determine  avail-

between  two  types  of  International  Visitors 
(TVs):  "grantees"  and  "voluntary  visitors." 
Grantees  are  fully  funded,  while  voluntary 
visitors  come  at  their  own  expense  or  at  the 
expense  of  their  government  and  receive  pro- 
gramming and  facilitative  assistance. 

Limitations:  Not  open  to  U.S.  citizens. 

Application  Procedure:  This  is  not  an  appli- 
cation program.  Instead,  USIS  posts  make  the 
nominations  for  these  highly  competitive  grants 
from  among  an  embassy's  target  audiences 
overseas.  International  Visitors  program  ad-

The  Cultural  Property  Staff  of  USIA  is  the 
focus  of  U.S.  government  implementation  of 
the  1970  UNESCO  Convention  on  illicit 
trade  in  cultural  property.  It  administers  the 
Cultural  Property  Advisory  Committee,  which 
oversees  USLVs  delegated  executive  responsi- 
bilities under  the  Cultural  Property  Imple- 
mentation Act.  This  Act  provides  that  coun- 
tries signatory  to  the  1970  Convention  may 
petition  the  U.S.  for  import  restrictions  on 
certain  categories  of  archaeological  and  ethno- 
logical material,  the  pillage  of  which  places  a 
nation's  cultural  patrimony  in  jeopardy.  As  a 
result  of  USIA's  decisionmaking  responsi- 
bilities under  the  Act,  several  countries,  in- 
cluding El  Salvador,  Bolivia,  Peru  and  Guate- 
mala, receive  U.S.  import  protection.

projects  and  those  that  reflect  the  depth  and 
breadth  of  America's  multicultural  society. 
The  Commission  emphasizes  exchanges  of  per- 
formances and  exhibitions  that  include  venues 
outside  the  major  metropolitan  areas. 

Limitations:  The  Commission  will  not  con- 
sider applications  from  symphonies  and  other 
strictly  musical  groups,  solo  performing  art- 
ists, and  amateur  and  university  groups.  It  does

LIBRARY    OF    CONGRESS 

Artists  working  abroad  will  find  the  Library  of 
Congress  an  invaluable  resource.  The  Library 
houses  publications  and  films  from  around  the 
world  (in  many  languages)  that  may  be  diffi 
cult  to  locate  elsewhere  in  the  United  States.  If 
you  need  to  conduct  in-depth  research  on  your 
country  of  destination,  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress may  simplify  your  work  significantly, 
and  may  warrant  a  trip  to  Washington,  DC. 
Before  visiting  the  Library  of  Congress,  you 
are  advised  to  conduct  preliminary  research  at 
an  appropriate  public  or  academic  li-brary  to 
identify  the  materials  you  need.  Preliminary 
"browsing"  isn't  possible  because  the  Library 
of  Congress'  collections  are  housed  in  re- 
stricted, closed  stacks.  Also,  the  Library  of 
Congress  is  a  research  library,  not  a  lending  li- 
brary, so  materials  cannot  be  checked  out.  Re- 
searchers must  be  over  high  school  age  and 
must  show  photo  identification  to  request  mate- 
rials in  all  of  the  Library's  public  reading  rooms.

In  addition  to  the  main  library,  the  American 
Folklife  Center,  the  Motion  Picture,  Broad- 
casting, and  Recorded  Sound  Division,  and 
the  Music  Division  may  be  helpful  resources 
to  working  artists.

The  Center  is  a  national  advocate  for  the 
preservation  and  presentation  of  American 
folklife.  Serving  a  varied  constituency,  the

projects,  conferences,  exhibitions,  workshops, 
concerts,  publications)  and  services  (advisory 
assistance,  research  and  archival  facilities,  and 
equipment  loan).  In  addition,  it  maintains  rela- 
tions and  coordinates  programs  with  the  Arts 
and  Humanities  Endowments,  the  Smithson 
ian  Institution,  and  the  National  Park  Service.

est motion  pictures  registered  for  copyright 
(1896-1912)  to  current  feature  films,  television

NATIONAL  ENDOWMENT  FOR 
THE    HUMANITIES 

The  National  Endowment  for  the  Humanities 
supports  research  in  the  humanities  under- 
taken by  individual  scholars  through  a  number 
of  programs  in  the  Division  of  Fellowships  and 
Seminars,  including  six-  to  twelve-month  fel- 
lowships and  summer  stipends.  Collaborative 
projects  are  supported  through  the  Division  of 


Research  Programs.  Projects  in  the  history  of 
the  arts,  literary  studies,  philosophy,  and  other 
humanities  disciplines  are  eligible.  Research 
may  be  conducted  in  this  country  or  abroad. 

In  addition,  the  Humanities  Endowment 
supports  fellowship  programs  administered  by 
research  libraries  and  museums  and  other  inde- 
pendent centers  for  advanced  study.  The  fel- 
lowships awarded  by  each  center  enable  schol- 
ars to  pursue  research  in  the  humanities  while 
benefiting  from  collegial  association  with  schol- 
ars in  other  disciplines  or  areas  of  interest.  In 
1994-95,  the  following  American  overseas  cen- 
ters will  offer  NEH  fellowships:  American 
Academy  in  Rome,  American  Institute  of  In- 
dian Studies,  American  Research  Center  in

SMITHSONIAN  INSTITUTION 

The  Smithsonian  Institution  encourages  visit- 
ing scholars,  scientists  and  students  to  utilize 
its  research  staff,  collections  and  reference 
materials.  In-residence  appointments,  which 
vary  in  duration  and  funding,  enable  qualified 
persons  to  pursue  studies  related  to  existing 
research  interests  of  one  or  more  Smithson- 
ian staff  members.  Art  bureaus  at  the

Art  in  Embassies  Program 

This  program  places  original  U.S.  art  in  U.S. 
embassy  residences  around  the  world.  Art- 
work is  exhibited  in  the  representational  areas 
where  American  ambassadors  entertain  for- 
eign dignitaries  and  official  guests  of  the  United 
States.  Museums,  corporate  and  private  collec- 
tors, commercial  galleries,  and  individual  art- 
ists lend  or  donate  American  art  representing 
all  styles,  periods  and  media  for  the  tenure  of 
the  ambassador. 

Application  Procedure:  Individual  artists 
must  submit  a  resume  and  a  slide  sheet  of 
works  available  for  consideration.  Submitted 
slides  will  be  included  in  an  artists  registry  and 
presented  to  new  ambassadors  after  they  have 
been  confirmed.

STATE  AND  LOCAL  AID 

State  and  local  arts  agencies  often  provide  the 
opportunity  for  resident  artists  and  arts  organi- 
zations to  reach  new  audiences  abroad.  They 
also  serve  to  enrich  the  cultural  life  of  a  state, 
city,  town,  suburb,  or  rural  area  through  ex- 
posure to  visiting  foreign  artists.  The  SAAs 
and  LAAs  listed  in  Part  II  provide  some  funds 
for  international  work.  One  initiative  de- 
serves special  note.  The  Ohio  Arts  Council's 
international  arts  initiative,  Arts  2000,  has  been 
in  operation  since  1987.  The  program  received 
its  impetus  from  then  Governor  Richard 
Celeste's  interest  in  promoting  the  state's  cul- 
tural resources  to  other  countries.  Since  1989, 
approximately  100  Ohio  artists  have  been  able 
to  reach  audiences  abroad  through  this  pro- 


gram, which  also  introduced  artists  and  exhib- 
its from  Japan,  China,  and  Russia  to  Ohio 
audiences. 

VISA  INFORMATION 

If  you  are  an  agent,  manager,  or  presenter  who 
wishes  to  bring  a  foreign  artist  or  group  to  the 
United  States  to  perform,  you  must  petition 
the  Immigration  and  Naturalization  Service 
(INS)  to  authorize  a  U.S.  Consulate  to  issue 
the  necessary  visa(s)  for  the  artist(s)  and  es 
sential  support  personnel.  The  steps  you  must 
take  to  petition  for  and  obtain  a  U.S.  visa  for  a 
foreign  artist  or  group  are  outlined  below.  As 
the  guidelines  for  petitioners  are  subject  to 
change,  only  the  basic  rules  are  outlined.  You 
may  want  to  consult  an  immigration  lawyer 
for  answers  to  specific  questions. 

Step  1:  Requesting  Information 

Call  the  nearest  local  U.S.  Immigration  and 
Naturalization  Service  (INS)  to  request  an  I- 
129  Booklet  which  contains  an  Application 
Form  1-129  and  the  associated  instructions. 
Allow  ten  working  days  for  the  booklet  to 
arrive.  In  addition,  you  may  want  to  look  up 
the  INS  regulations  themselves  in  Volume  8  of 
the  Code  of  Federal  Regulations  (CFR),  Sec- 
tions 214.2(o)  and  (p).  This  is  the  most  reliable 
source  of  correct  procedures.  The  CFR  can  be 
found  in  any  law  library. 

Step  2:  Determining  Visa  Classifications 

As  you  will  see  when  you  read  through  the  INS 
booklet,  INS  regulations  designate  aO"  and 
"P"  visas  for  foreign  artists  and  entertainers, 
including  the  classifications  within  each  visa 
category.  The  regulations  describe  these  vari- 
ous visa  classifications,  the  relevant  proce- 
dures, and  the  documents  needed  to  support 
petitions  for  each  classification. 

Note  that  the  current  edition  of  the  1-129 
instruction  booklet  (published  in  1991)  is  out- 


27 


U.S.  Government  Agencies 


dated  and  does  not  reflect  the  correct  require- 
ments or  procedures.  Therefore,  until  INS 
issues  a  new  instruction  booklet,  use  extreme 
caution  in  applying  for  the  "O"  and  T"  visas, 
and  above  all,  file  your  petition(s)  as  far  in 
advance  as  possible  (up  to  six  months)  so  that 
there  will  be  ample  time  to  correct  problems. 
You  can  use  the  regulations'  descriptions  of 
"O"  and  "P"  visas,  the  1-129  form,  and  the 
"O"  and  "P"  visa  supplements  to  the  1-129, 
which  are  all  up-to-date. 

"O"  Visas 

There  are  two  categories  of  "O"  visas:  O-l  and 
0-2.  O-l  visas  apply  to  individual  artists  with 
extraordinary  ability  who  are  temporarily  vis- 
iting the  United  States  to  pursue  their  art  form. 
These  artists  must  demonstrate  sustained  na- 
tional or  international  acclaim  for  their  ex- 
traordinary artistic  accomplishments. 

Thus,  in  addition  to  submitting  a  properly 
completed  1-129  form,  an  "O*  visa  supple- 
ment to  the  1-129  form,  and  the  correct  fee,  you 
will  have  to  provide  documentation  of  the 
artist's  extraordinary  ability.  To  do  so,  you 
must  either  (a)  provide  evidence  that  the  artist 
has  received  a  nomination  or  an  actual  signifi- 
cant award  in  the  field  (the  equivalent  of  an 
Academy  Award,  Emmy  or  Grammy  Award), 
or  (b)  provide  at  least  three  different  types  of 
evidence.  These  include  evidence  that  the  artist 
has  performed  and  will  perform  services  as  a 
lead  or  starring  participant  in  productions, 
events,  or  for  reputable  organizations  and 
establishments;  critical  reviews  or  articles;  evi- 
dence of  commercial  or  critical  success;  recog- 
nition from  organizations,  critics,  government 
agencies,  or  other  experts  in  the  field;  lesser 
awards/prizes;  or  evidence  that  the  artist  has 
received  high  compensation  relative  to  others 
in  the  field.  Inaddition,  you  must  show  that  the 
event  for  which  the  artist  is  applying  requires 
the  services  of  an  artist  of  this  caliber. 

An  0-2  classification  applies  to  non-citi- 
zens visiting  the  United  States  for  the  sole 


purpose  of  accompanying  or  assisting  an  O-l 
artist  in  his/her  artistic  performance.  The  0-2 
visa  applicant  must  be  an  integral  part  of  the 
O-l  artist's  performance,  must  possess  skills 
and  experiences  critical  to  the  O-l  artist,  and 
must  have  prior  experience  with  the  O-l  artist. 
These  skills  cannot  be  general  in  nature.  For 
example,  an  experienced  operator  of  a  sound 
system  who  knows  the  "correct  sound"  for  an 
O-l  artist  is  eligible  for  an  0-2  visa.  Managers 
and  agents  are  considered  essential  support 
personnel.  You  may  combine  all  the  support 
personnel  necessary  to  accompany  an  O-l  art- 
ist in  one  0-2  petition;  however,  you  cannot 
include  0-2  personnel  in  an  O-l  petition. 

V  Visas 

There  are  three  categories  of  "P"  visas:  P-l, 
P-2,  and  P-3.  A  P-l  visa  applies  to  interna- 
tionally acclaimed  ensembles  or  groups,  as 
opposed  to  individual  artists.  These  ensembles 
must  have  been  recognized  in  their  fields  for  a 
substantial  period  of  time,  and  have  performed 
regularly  for  at  least  one  year  under  the  group 
name  used  in  the  petition.  Seventy-five  per- 
cent of  the  P-l  artists  must  be  integral  mem- 
bers of  the  group,  usually  for  at  least  one  year 
(subject  to  exceptions  in  case  of  unanticipated 
emergency  and  of  expansion  of  a  group  for 
touring  purposes).  Your  petition  must  include 
an  alphabetical  list  of  the  group's  members 
and  the  exact  dates  of  their  regular  employ- 
ment with  the  group.  You  will  also  have  to 
submit  supporting  materials  to  document  the 
group's  international  acclaim  and  existence  for 
at  least  one  year,  generally  with  the  same  type 
of  documentation  required  for  the  O-l  visas. 
National  acclaim  may  suffice  in  some  cases. 

The  P-2  classification  applies  to  artists  com- 
ing to  the  United  States  under  a  reciprocal 
exchange  agreement  between  the  United 
States  and  an  organization  in  one  or  more 
foreign  country.  At  this  writing,  only  a  few 
such  agreements  exist  between  U.S.  labor  orga- 
nizations and  their  foreign  counterparts.  Little 


28 


U.S.  Government  Agencies 


documentation  is  required  for  this  classifica- 
tion besides  the  advisory  opinion  discussed 
below. 

The  P-3  classification  applies  to  artists  and 
entertainers  participating  in  culturally  unique 
programs.  A  P-3  artist  must  be  recognized  for 
excellence  in  presenting  a  unique  traditional, 
ethnic,  folk,  cultural,  musical,  theatrical,  or 
other  artistic  program.  A  P-3  artist  may  also  be 
recognized  for  teaching  or  coaching  such  a 
program.  Further,  the  culturally  unique  pro- 
gram must  incorporate  a  style,  method  or 
medium  of  artistic  expression  unique  to  a 
particular  country,  nation,  society,  class, 
ethnicity,  religion,  tribe,  or  other  group. 

If  you  apply  for  a  P-3  visa,  you  must 
include  in  your  application  two  of  the  follow- 
ing three  types  of  documentation  that  artists 
have:  (a)  performed  the  culturally  unique  mate- 
rial for  a  substantial  period  of  time;  achieved 
national  or  international  recognition  as  shown 
in  published  materials;  (c)  achieved  recogni- 
tion from  an  educational,  governmental,  or 
cultural  agency,  or  from  a  recognized  expert  in 
the  field.  Each  P-3  application  must  also  in- 
clude one  or  two  letters  from  a  recognized 
expert(s)  in  the  field,  attesting  to  the  group's 
authenticity  and  excellence,  and  its  level  of 
recognition  in  a  country.  The  letter  must  pro- 
vide detailed  credentials  for  its  author. 

You  may  include  all  individuals  applying 
for  a  single  type  of  "P"  visa  in  one  application. 
However,  support  personnel  needed  to  assist 
or  accompany  applicants  for  aP"  visas  require 
separate  petitions,  just  as  the  0-2  petition  is 
separate  from  its  O-l  counterpart.  The  appro- 
priate visas  for  support  personnel  for  P-l,  P-2, 
and  P-3  visa  applicants  are,  respectively,  P-1S, 
P-2S,  and  P-3S. 

Step3:  Obtaining  a  Written  Advisory 
Opinion 

All  "O"  and  "P"  petitions  must  be  accompa- 
nied by  a  written  advisory  opinion,  or  a  "no 
objection  letter"  from  the  national  office  of  an 


appropriate  labor  organization,  such  as  the 
American  Federation  of  Unions,  the  American 
Guild  of  Musical  Artists,  or  the  International 
Alliance  of  Theatrical  Stage  Employees.  To 
obtain  such  an  opinion,  forward  a  copy  of  the 
petition  and  the  essential  supporting  document- 
ation to  the  appropriate  union  at  least  one 
week  before  you  plain  to  submit  the  petition. 

Step  4:  Submission    of  Materials 

When  submitting  the  above  materials,  you 
must  include  signed  contracts  or  a  summary 
of  the  essential  terms  of  any  oral  agreements 
with  the  artist  and  an  itinerary  listing  the  name 
of  each  sponsor  or  presenter,  the  date  and 
location  of  each  performance  throughout  the 
period  of  the  intended  visit,  and  the  essential 
compensation  terms. 

The  petition  may  not  be  filed  more  than 
six  months  before  the  starting  date  of  the 
artist's  services  in  the  United  States.  The  turn- 
around time  is  three  to  six  weeks,  depending 
on  the  particular  INS  Service  Center  and  the 
completeness  of  the  petition.  Be  sure  to  follow 
the  INS  instruction  carefully  for  filing  details 
such  as  place  of  filing,  number  of  copies,  etc. 
All  petitions  for  artists  and  support  personnel 
must  be  filed  in  duplicate .  In  addition,  there  are 
special  procedures  for  emergency  expedit- 
ed petitions  that  are  specific  to  each  INS  Ser- 
vice Center.  Emergency  requests  are  not  auto- 
matically granted;  they  must  be  fully  justified. 

The  current  filing  fee  is  $70,  plus  $10  for 
each  worker  included  in  the  application.  For 
example,  for  an  ensemble  of  eight  with  two 
essential  support  personnel,  the  total  fee  will 
be  $240:  [$70  +  ($10  x  8)]  -  $150  for  the  en- 
semble; [$70  +  ($10x  2)]  -  $90  for  the  support 
personnel. 

Send  all  materials  via  air  courier  (so  that 
you  have  a  delivery  receipt)  to  one  of  the 
following  INS  Regional  Service  Centers:

Chapter  3: 

Corporations  and  Foundations 


V  orporations  and  foundations  can  be  an  ex- 
cellent resource  for  artists  who  wish  to  work 
abroad.  This  chapter  identifies  those  that  will 
consider  support  for  international  arts  pro- 
grams. Some  private  funders  demonstrate  a 
consistent  interest  in  international  work.  For 
most,  however,  this  is  not  a  priority.  Many 
fund  arts  activities,  others  fund  international 
exchange,  but  rarely  does  a  private  supporter 
combine  the  two.  Searching  for  funding  is  by 
no  means  hopeless.  You  may  not  find  an  ex- 
plicitly stated  interest  in  international  arts  fund- 
ing, however,  many  private  funders  will  be 
open  to  the  idea  if  it  furthers  their  own  mis- 
sion. The  more  information  you  have  about  a 
potential  funder,  the  easier  it  will  be  to  identify 
that  mission.  Most  foundations  and  corpora- 
tions provide  guidelines  to  potential  appli- 
cants. In  these  cases,  be  sure  to  call  or  write  for 
your  copy.  Also  request  the  most  recent  an- 
nual report,  which  will  outline  the 
organization's  funding  priorities. 

Recognizing  the  idea  at  the  heart  of  a 
corporation's  or  foundation's  philanthropic 
mission  makes  it  easier  to  evaluate  whether  a 
particular  project  fits  a  given  funder.  For  ex- 
ample, if  a  corporation  focuses  its  arts  giving 
on  education  in  its  areas  of  operation  in  the 
United  States,  an  international  proposal  might 
be  considered  if  it  involves  returning  from 
abroad  and  teaching  children  using  techniques 
gleaned  from  the  foreign  experience.  Simi- 
larly, a  foundation  that  states  an  emphasis  on 
international  understanding  and  conflict  reso- 
lution will  often  consider  an  innovative  arts 
proposal  with  cross-cultural  impact.  As  a 
generalrule,  you  will  find  giving  guidelines  to 
be  just  that;  guidelines  that  set  the  funders' 
parameters  and  lay  out  the  general  rules.  With- 
in these  boundaries,  you  will  often  discover  a 
flexible  approach  to  the  allocation  of  funds. 


Private  funders  sometimes  impose  geo- 
graphic restrictions  on  international  propos- 
als. You  will  notice  throughout  this  chapter 
that  some  give  only  to  organizations  in  certain 
regions  of  the  United  States,  while  others  give 
only  in  "operating  locations  worldwide."  The 
only  way  to  find  out  exactly  which  locations 
are  eligible  is  to  request  the  guidelines  and 
annual  report. 

A  final  note:  It  is  never  too  soon  to  begin 
collecting  information  from  corporations  and 
foundations  about  their  giving  programs.  Some 
have  only  one  application  review  per  year 
while  others  review  applications  on  a  rolling 
basis.  Keeping  a  file  of  potential  funding  sources 
can  only  help,  even  if  an  international  project 
may  be  far  in  the  future.

Chapter  4: 

SERVICE  ORGANIZATIONS 


f\xs  service  organizations,  which  provide  in- 
formation and  assistance  to  their  fields,  do  not 
usually  serve  as  hinders,  although  some  do 
incorporate  grantmaking  activities  into  their 
programs.  Some  serve  a  particular  arts  disci- 
pline (e.g.,  the  Visual  Arts  and  Galleries  Asso- 
ciation, Dansource),  others  serve  the  arts  in 
general  (e.g.,  Arts  International,  Volunteer 
Lawyers  for  the  Arts),  others  serve  a  particular 
cultural  group  or  country  (e.g.,  Association  of 
Hispanic  Artists,  the  Swedish  Institute).  These 
organizations  may  provide  international  con- 
tacts, referrals,  technical  assistance  and/or  travel 
grants. 

Often,  staff  members  at  service  organiza- 
tions are  knowledgeable  about  international 
aspects  of  their  given  field.  For  example,  Opera 
America,  a  national  service  organization,  is 
essentially  a  domestic  organization.  However, 
the  staff  has  information  about  touring  prac- 
tices, festivals,  competitions  and  schools  world- 
wide in  the  opera  field.  The  Folger  Shakespeare 
Library  often  hosts  visiting  fellows  and  other 
experts  on  Shakespearean  literature  who  could 
provide  information  about  translations,  play 
production,  and  colleagues  abroad.  Similarly, 
the  Japan  Society  has  extensive  contacts  in  the 
Japanese  arts  community  and  would  be  helpful 
in  executing  a  project  in  that  country. 

Some  service  organizations  (particularly 
the  discipline-specific  variety),  have  modest 
membership  fees  for  their  services.  Often,  you 
can  pay  minimal  fees  for  specific  services,  such 
as  use  of  a  job  bank,  or  subscription  to  a 
newsletter  or  other  publication,  without  pay- 
ing for  full  membership  to  the  organization.  In 
any  case,  service  organizations  are  there  to 
serve,  and  will  attempt  to  do  so  to  the  best  of 
their  ability. 

The  service  organizations  in  this  chapter 
have  been  divided  into  three  sections:  Arts, 


Culture-Specific  and  General.  The  first  section 
(Arts)  has  been  organized  by  discipline  and 
includes  dance,  design  arts,  folk  arts,  literature, 
media  arts,  museum,  music,  theater,  visual  arts 
and  multidisciplinary  arts.The  next  section 
(Culture-specific)  section  provides  access  to  or- 
ganizations offering  a  variety  of  services  for  or 
about  a  given  country  or  cultural  group.  The 
final  section  (General)  lists  non-arts  organiza- 
tions, which  can  provide  a  surprising  amount 
of  useful  information  for  international  arts 
projects. 

You  may  want  to  begin  by  locating  the 
organizations  that  support  your  discipline,  fol- 
lowed by  those  that  serve  your  country  of 
interest  and  then  those  that  serve  many  disci- 
plines and  countries.  If  these  organizations 
can't  help  you  with  a  particular  project,  ask  for 
referrals  to  other  organizations  that  might. 
Staff  members  are  often  linked  to  a  network  of 
domestic  organizations,  one  of  which  might 
serve  your  needs.

American  Dance  Festival  has  pioneered  inter- 
national exchange  in  dance  through  several 
programs.  The  International  Choreographers 
Residency  (ICRJ  brings  promising  choreogra- 
phers to  ADF  for  seven  weeks.   The  variety 
and  scope  of  ADF's  performances  and  classes 
offer  choreographers  from  abroad  an  opportu- 
nity to  immerse  themselves  in  American  mod- 
ern dance.  Under  the  International  Choreogra- 
phers Commissioning  Program  (ICCPJ,  ADF 
offers  six-week  residencies  to  three  or  four 
previous  ICR  participants.  While  in  residence, 
they  create  new  dance  works  for  ADF  dancers 
which  are  premiered  during  ADF's  perfor- 
mance season.  The  Institutional  Linkage  Pro- 
gram (ILP)  developed  out  of  the  worldwide 
network  of  choreographers  that  emerged  from 
ADF's  ICR  program.  Many  ICR  participants 
are  affiliated  with  major  dance  institutions  in 
their  home  countries  and  are  eager  to  build 
upon  previous  ICR  connections.  ADF  collabo- 
rates with  foreign  ICR  participants  and  the  ap- 
propriate USIS  post  (see  Part  II  for  addresses 
of  USIS  posts)  to  create  a  linkage  that  meets 
the  needs  of  their  international  partner.  Link- 
ages emphasize  the  connection  of  modern  dance 
to  the  traditions  of  other  countries.  Finally,  on 
a    larger  scale,  ADF  periodically  organizes 
"mini-ADFs"  abroad  with  the  support  of  an 
international  host.  These  mini-ADFs  run  for 
two  weeks  and  offer  daily  classes  for  students, 
performances  by  U.S.  modern  dance  compa- 
nies, as  well  as  lecture  presentations  by  ADF's 
faculty.  To  date,  collaborating  countries  in-

a  broad  range  of  contemporary  and  traditional 
visual  arts  expression  (fine  arts,  decorative  arts, 
photography,  film  and  video).  AFA  exhibi-

Vigeland,  and  French  Oil  Sketches  and  the  Aca- 
demic Tradition.  AFA  exhibition  tours  often 
include  foreign  venues,  such  as  In  Our  Time: 
The  World  as  Seen  by  Magnum  Photographers, 
which  reached  audiences  throughout  Europe, 
Australia,  New  Zealand,  Japan,  Korea  and 
Taiwan;  Art  of  the  Himalayas:  Treasures  from 
Nepal  and  Tibet  which  was  presented  at  three 
Australian  museums;  Sounding  Forms:  African 
Musical  Instruments,  presented  in  Paris  at  the 
Louvre;    Before  Hollywood:  Tum-ofthe-Cen- 
turyFilmfrom  American  Archives,  which  toured 
the  Americas  and  Europe;  and  the  extensive 
biannual  international  tours  of  The  Whitney 
Biennial  Film/Video  Exhibition.  Many  AFA 
exhibitions  are  collaborations  with  member 
museums  while  others  are  generated  by  inde- 
pendent curators  working  in  cooperation  with 
the  AFA.    In  addition  to  exhibitions,  other

hibition  and/or  rehearsal  space.  In  addition, 
BNCs  may  be  able  to  furnish  artists'  fees  and 
publicity  for  U.S.  artists  wishing  to  perform 
or  exhibit  abroad.  Some  countries  have 
multiple  BNCs,  in  which  case  you  should 
target  your  cities  of  interest  and  contact  the 
BNCs  there,  as  well  as  the  BNC  in  the 
capital  city  (indicated  by  *  in  the  list  below). 

A  few  BNCs  participate  in  the  International 
Arts  Programming  Network  which  pro- 
vides touring  opportunities  to  a  number  of 
countries.  This  pilot  network  was  devel- 
oped so  that  arts  groups  from  countries  with 
binational  centers  may  travel  in  the  United 
States  through  the  six-member  circuit  of 
U.S.  regional  arts  organizations  (RAOs), 
and  so  that  U.S.  artists  may  travel  through  a 
BNC  circuit  that  currently  includes  seven 
BNCs  in  Latin  America  and  Southeastern 
Europe.  Performing  and  visual  arts  present- 
ers should  contact  the  Director  of  Programs 
at  the  Mid-America  Arts  Alliance  for  fur- 
ther information. 

Another  activity  of  note  is  the  BNC  Circuit, 
a  small  program  with  limited  funding  admin- 
istered by  USIA's  Office  of  Cultural  Cen- 
ters. Under  this  program,  U.S.  performing 
arts  groups  and  visual  arts  exhibitions  travel 
to  BNCs  across  Latin  America.  Only  perfor- 
mances and  exhibitions  that  are  small  in 
scale  and  technically  simple  can  be  included 
in  the  Circuit,  due  to  the  limited  space  and 
funds  of  the  BNCs.
