Performing Arts Tour Directory

Welcome!

Welcome to the Virginia Commission for the Arts’ 2010-2011 Performing Arts Tour Directory. The touring assistance program is designed to ensure that all Virginians have the ability to enjoy high quality performances by our state’s finest touring artists. The performers listed in this directory represent a wide range of disciplines and have been selected by the Commission on the basis of artistic quality, sound management and the ability to provide inspiring, entertaining and educational programs for the citizens of Virginia.

We are pleased to provide this service to any non-profit Virginia organization. Arts organizations, theatres, Pre K-12 schools, colleges and universities, libraries, parks and recreation departments, hospitals, nursing homes, service organizations, and units of local government are all examples of eligible non-profit presenters that may apply for up to 50% of the performance and/or educational program fees of the performers listed in this publication.

The directory includes a brief biography, description of programs, contact information, fees, availability and technical requirements for each performer. We have provided this basic information so that you can decide if the artist or ensemble is likely to fulfill your programming needs. You can learn more about the performers by visiting their websites and by contacting them directly to plan and explore possibilities together.
