The New York State Presenters Network announces the launch of a special pilot funding initiative for 2012 and 2013 open to all NYS presenting organizations. This pilot program will support presenting partnerships between two or more presenting organizations and the presenting and touring of exemplary NYS-based artists and companies in all performing arts disciplines. Eligible projects must involve two or more presenting organizations, a New York-based artist or company, and an audience development component that reaches new audiences and communities through performances and related community-based activities.
