If you love great music, here's good news!
The Arkansas Arts Council has chosen the St. James Group for the 2011-2012 "Arts on Tour" program. The "Arts on Tour" program (AOT) is designed by the Arkansas Arts Council to grant fee support to eligible presenters listed on the AOT roster. If you are an arts organization, festival, school, civic organization, or government entity, the program will help underwrite the cost of a concert performance.

Here’s how AOT Fee Support works:
• AOT grants will reimburse the presenter 40 percent of the total artist fee, up to a maximum of $2,000 per performance.
• All performances must occur between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. Each request for reimbursement must be received in the Arkansas Arts Council office prior to the concert.
• Grant applications can be submitted after October 1, 2010 for performances during the 2011-2012 period.
Eligibility:
• Only non-profit or tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) Arkansas-based organizations are eligible for AOT grants.
• The concert must be open to the general public, although the event does not have to be free (the sponsoring organization may charge admission).
• The presenter must credit the Arkansas Arts Council in programs, press releases, and advertising.

• Complementary CDs and memorabilia for promotional give-aways.
• Wide demographic appeal to a large cross-section of age groups.
• Fund raising assistance! (Your organization keeps a percentage of money by assisting with concession sales. The band provides T-shirts, CDs, and books to sell with NO financial risk to the organization.) |
