About

Southern Exposure is a national initiative designed to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the richness and diversity of Latin American cultures through the work of its contemporary and traditional performing artists. The program supports tours that are collaboratively developed by presenting organizations across the United States. The touring projects include public performances and activities that provide the public with direct interaction with the visiting artists. An emphasis is placed on funding engagements in communities that have little access to this type of work.

Southern Exposure is a partnership of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation.

Deadline

The next Southern Exposure deadline is February 28, 2014 for projects taking place between September 1, 2014 and August 31, 2015. Click here for guidelines and application.
