Request for Proposals (RFP)
At Mid-America Arts Alliance, we believe in the power of partnerships to bring more art to all people, everywhere. Whether through our grants, professional development programs, or traveling exhibitions, we welcome creative collaborators who share our commitment to cultural enrichment, engagement, and accessibility.

This new site will serve as a dynamic platform to support museums, galleries, libraries, and cultural institutions across the country—making it easier than ever to access and book high-quality traveling exhibitions. The redesigned platform should reflect ExhibitUSA’s national reach, the range of arts and humanities exhibitions offered, and improve the user experience for both presenters and partners.
We invite qualified web designers, developers, and creative teams with a passion for arts and community engagement to submit a proposal.
