The International Collaboration in the Arts Project/Overview
The International Collaboration in the Arts project is an ethnographic
documentation effort that NEFA managed in close partnership with the
Ford Foundation. With a team of ethnographers, NEFA documented the activities
of seven sites -- five regional programs and two national regrant programs
-- engaged in supporting international artistic collaboration, with the
aim of building knowledge in this area. These seven sites, together with
NEFA and the Ford Foundation, compose the Working
Group for the International
Collaboration in the Arts project.
In addition to producing two comprehensive reports documenting the phases
of the International Collaboration in the Arts project, NEFA managed
four national convenings for the project that resulted in a series of
working papers issued to the performing arts field. Arts International published and distributed all documents related to the project.
