TourWest is a competitive grant program that provides subsidies to arts and community organizations for the presentation of out-of-state touring performers and literary artists.

All TourWest grants must be matched on a one-to-one basis in cash by the presenting organization. Funds are available to organizations that sponsor performances or literary events within the 13-state WESTAF region. In order to receive funding from this program, applicants should demonstrate their commitment to several key elements: a) high artistic quality; b) collaboration and block booking; c) the presentation of diverse art forms; and d) audience development.

TourWest is a program of WESTAF (the Western States Arts Federation) and is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Please note, each application can be used for only ONE project. If you wish to apply for funding for two projects, you must complete & submit two separate applications. In addition, hub grants will not be available during the 2008-2009 TourWest grant round.
