Jazz Road is a new national program to help jazz artists tour by connecting with jazz presenting organizations throughout the U.S., including non-traditional jazz programmers and organizations newly interested in jazz. Artists will be eligible for grants through a competitive application process to create tours anywhere in the U.S. We are writing you today because your organization may want to be a part of a Jazz Road project, partner with artists to build new jazz audiences, and potentially receive partial artist fee subsidy when an applicant is awarded a Jazz Road grant.

Mellon Foundation, and is led by South Arts in partnership with the five other U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (Arts Midwest, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, and Western Arts Alliance/Western States Arts Federation.
