Mid Atlantic Tours
Introduction
2026-2027 Mid Atlantic Tours Update
Mid Atlantic Tours 2025-2026 roster includes performing artists from across the mid-Atlantic region as well as artists from countries in the Iberian peninsula and Latin America through Mid Atlantic Arts’ partnership with Ibermúsicas.
Presenters select from a curated roster of artists that changes annually but maintains a programmatic commitment to a diversity of performance genres, regional artist representation, and engaging with communities underserved by the arts. Presenters work directly with agents and eligible organizations receive support for their project.
Presenters located in the mid-Atlantic region who engage a Mid Atlantic Tours Roster Artist during the project period receive up to 50% subsidy for the Roster Artist’s compensation as well as presenter capacity support. Presenters work directly with the Roster Artist’s Tour Manager to negotiate terms, including engagement dates and compensation. Once terms are confirmed between Presenter and Tour Manager, the Presenter completes a short application to Mid Atlantic Arts.
Grant support range: Engagement support of up to 50% of artists fees. Minimum of $1,000. Other eligible expenses of up to $2,000 to support direct project expenses may be available in FY26.
