LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – The Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation and Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) will be presenting an informational workshop on Monday November 3 12:00pm-1:00pm for performers, artists and writers who are interested in applying for inclusion on the Texas Touring Roster.
“We are very excited and honored to have Anina Moore, Director of Artist Services and Communications, with us to talk about what the Touring Roster is and how to assemble a competitive application,” said Stacy Keith, Director of the Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation.
The Texas Touring Roster is a curated list of Texas based artists (of many genres and backgrounds) who are willing to travel around the state for opportunities to perform. The program is a mechanism to support both artists and non-profit organizations who wish to work with them and allows theorganization hiring them to apply for a grant through TCA for support.
The program makes it possible for the artist to receive their ideal fee and helps the organization offset that cost through a grant.
It is also a terrific marketing tool for artists who are included.
Some of the artists on the current Texas Touring Roster are: Asleep at the Wheel, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Drum One, Drum All/Noah Mosgofian, and Ruthi Foster.
The roster is varied with artists who are poets, puppeteers, dancers, singers, story tellers and theatre performers.
“Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation wants to encourage regional artists who are interested in applying to feel empowered to do so. We want to bring that West Texas talent and magic to the roster,” continued Keith.
The workshop will have a lunch included with the nominal fee of $10.
It’s Monday November 3rd from 12-1 pm on the 5th floor of the McDougal Building at 1500 Broadway.
