Grants for Jazz Artists: Jazz Road Tours

Grants of up to $15,000 to Develop Your Tour

South Arts is accepting applications for the next cycle of Jazz Road Tours — an artist-centric grant program that puts funds directly in the hands of jazz artists across the U.S. to connect with audiences around the country.

Jazz Road Tours grants range from $5,000 to $15,000, funding the artists directly to cover a portion of eligible tour expenses including artist fees, travel, housing, meals, backline, road/sound/tour management, and costs related to tour coordination and promotion. The Jazz Road Tours program is designed to help artists earn a living wage while on the road. The current application cycle opened on May 1 with a deadline of June 15.
