Expeditions Touring Grant

Touring grants provide funding for tours in New England that exhibit strong collaboration between artists, presenters, and nonprofit organizations to creatively engage communities in New England.

On October 1, 2019, NEFA announced a series of changes to the Expeditions and New England States Touring (NEST) programs, merging the two under the NEST moniker and sunsetting the Expeditions program. Please visit the NEST Grant page to learn about tour support for artists from inside or outside of New England.

Reductions in Artist Fees

Expeditions grant amounts are determined based on the proposed artistic fee; therefore, reductions in artist fees may result in the reduction or cancellation of your grant. Grant recipients must notify NEFA of any changes in fees paid to the artist(s) as soon as possible in advance of the event.
