About PennPAT
Due to a loss of funding, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation plans to close its Philadelphia-based PennPAT office and operations at the end of August 2013. The last deadline at which presenters may apply for support for touring engagements with PennPAT roster artists under the current program will be February 15, 2013. Staff will continue to monitor and process awards and reports throughout the 2013-2014 season.
All funds allocated for Artist Technical Assistance and Artist Strategic Opportunity Grants have been awarded and these programs are now closed to new applications. New applications for the PennPAT Artist Roster will not be accepted.
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation are exploring options for continuing to offer tour support for Pennsylvania-based performing arts groups and individual performers. Check back here for any updates, or if you would like to be added to our email list, contact katie@pennpat.org.
