Visual Arts and Humanities

ExhibitsUSA
Would you like to host an exciting exhibition at your institution? Perhaps you have organized an exhibition and would like help in touring it? ExhibitsUSA (EUSA), founded in 1988 annually offers more than 50 diverse art and humanities exhibitions to museums and other exhibiting institutions nationwide. EUSA’s mission is to create access to an array of arts and humanities experiences, nurture the understanding of diverse cultures and art forms, and encourage the expanding depth and breadth of cultural life in local communities. If you are looking for a new exhibition experience for your community or help in getting your exhibition on the road, EUSA can help!

NEH on the Road
NEH on the Road offers an exciting opportunity for communities of all sizes to experience some of the best exhibitions funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Performing Arts

American Masterpieces: Dance
Mid-America Arts Alliance, working in partnership with the New England Foundation for the Arts, will support tours of the National Endowment for the Art's American Masterpieces: Dance program, allowing presenters to bring affordable, high-quality dance to their communities.

ArtsEngage
Mid-America Arts Alliance is proud to offer ExhibitsUSA venues ArtsEngage, a collaborative effort between Mid-America Arts Alliance’s Visual Arts and Humanities and Performing Arts divisions. ArtsEngage provides exhibiting venues an opportunity to connect with professional performing artists that have created programming specific to a variety of ExhibitsUSA’s traveling exhibitions.

Latino Culture Project
Expanding on the success of the Mexico Transnational Project, Mid-America has created the Latino Culture Project, which helps presenters find connection points to Latino populations in their communities and educate their existing audiences about Latino culture.

Mid-America Enhance Dance
For the 2007-2008 presenting season, Mid-America will be conducting a pilot dance initiative. We have partnered with Headlong Dance Theater to bring three of their modern dance works to the region.

Regional Touring Program
The Regional Touring Program, formerly known as the Heartland Arts Fund, is our performing arts venture in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts to support regional touring artists in performing arts venues across our six-state region.
