PAGE grantees are selected through an agreement with each roster artist’s agents or representatives. Based on fees negotiated between presenters and total allocations for fee subsidies for each artist, agents recommended subsidy amounts for each engagement to Mid Atlantic Arts for review and approval. Staff worked closely with agents to maximize the broadest possible bookings and allocation of fee support nationwide.
PAGE is a program of Mid Atlantic Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) with additional funding for the tours of Luciane Dom and Luedji Luna from the Instituto Guimarães Rosa.
