Calling all presenting artists and arts organizations! If you’re fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas and interested in applying for the MAP Fund, please continue reading for some important information about applying.
About the MAP Fund:
The MAP Fund is founded on the principle that exploration drives human progress, no less in art than in science or medicine. MAP supports live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry. MAP is particularly interested in supporting artists that question, disrupt, complicate, and challenge inherited notions of social and cultural hierarchy across the current American landscape.
Members of the fiscal sponsorship staff will be sending out a questionnaire to every sponsored artist who asks for one and has met our grant eligibility requirement. The questionnaire is designed to help us determine that the project is eligible and that it falls in line with MAP’s funding priorities. Please review their guidelines in detail before contacting us to make sure your project is a good fit. Please also note that the grant period for this opportunity is JULY 1, 2017 — JUNE 30, 2019.
If we determine that your project is eligible, we can continue with the application process. A Fractured Atlas staff member will need to review the first round application before it is submitted, so please note the Fractured Atlas internal deadline, October 14, 2016, and keep it in mind as you’re completing the first round application. We reviewed and submitted more than 50 applications last year and we expect to have the same number submit this year as well, so this time allows for us to review the first round application and provide feedback long before the October 28th deadline.
