        Invites Applications for Travel Funding

 Deadline: July 15, 2002; November 1, 2002; and February 1,
           2003

 The goal of the Explorations Fund, a partnership between
 the Association of Performing Arts Presenters
 (http://www.artspresenters.org/) and Arts International,
 (http://www.artsinternational.org/) is to further global
 cultural exchange and to enrich the understanding of the
 diversity of performing arts offerings worldwide.

 In 2002-2003, the Fund will provide travel support to
 individual presenters responsible for programming at non-
 profit presenting organizations; nonprofit artist managers;
 artist managers with a nonprofit affiliation; and indepen-
 dent producers, presenters, and artist managers. The Fund
 will reimburse up to $2,000 to cover the cost of inter-
 national airfare and per diem for travel to festivals and
 international performances. In some cases, presenters may
 also apply to attend festivals within the United States
 that present international work. Grants for travel within
 the U.S. will not exceed $500.

 Complete program information and an application form are
 available at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters
 Web site.
