NEA 2016 Jazz Masters Fellowship Event: This Cooperative Agreement will begin on or after June 1, 2015, and may extend through June 30, 2016.
Description of Funding Opportunity
Jazz is a uniquely American art form, born and bred in the United States. As the Nation's cultural agency, the National Endowment for the Arts recognizes jazz's historical significance and assumes a leadership role in acknowledging and nurturing its presence in our culture for present and future generations of musicians and audiences alike. This art form significantly contributes not just to American culture, but to world culture--as it is practiced all over the globe. Touring jazz musicians often are likened to ambassadors engaging in cultural diplomacy.
The Arts Endowment plans to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with an organization to coordinate a free, public event honoring the 2016 NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship awardees, and related activities as detailed below. The event must take place during the month of April 2016, to coincide with and acknowledge the 15th anniversary of Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM). In addition, the event venue must be located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area to coincide with the year-long 50th anniversary celebrations of the National Endowment for the Arts (October 2015-2016). The event also must be webcast live to reach national and global audiences.
