International PartnersThe International Partnerships of the National Endowment for the Arts bring the benefits of international exchange to arts organizations, artists, and audiences nationwide through its collaborative initiatives with other funders. The Endowment's support of international activities showcases U.S. arts abroad and broadens the scope of experience of American artists to enrich the art that they create. Our activities help increase worldwide recognition of the excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts of the United States. Our work, the International Partnerships help American artists and arts organizations develop international ties that strengthen the many art forms of the United States. Since the Agency's restructuring in 1996, the Endowment's direct support of international projects is available only through Grants for Arts Projects. The FY 2005 Grants for Arts Projects Guidelines will be available online January 2004.
