Roster Artist Inclusion Application

This application is for prospective artists to apply for either the Public Art & Muralist and Touring Roster.

Artists currently on artists rosters must complete the Roster Artist Active Standing Form to indicate active status and remain listed on the rosters. This is done via a separate form attached to your original roster artist application. Current roster artists do not need to complete this application. Please refer to the current Touring Roster and Public Artist Roster for active listings.

INTENT: To promote Kansas artists and ensure that every Kansas community has access to high quality arts programming.

DESCRIPTION

Touring Roster: The Kansas Arts Commission maintains an approved Touring Roster of Kansas-based touring companies and artists. In this program, the artist or artist's management sets the fee and negotiates the booking. Applicants must have a history of touring and maintain a reasonable fee range. Roster artists are required to perform outside their community regularly. Touring artists offer single performances/programs as well as optional services that may include workshops, master classes, lecture-demonstrations, interactive performances, arts education components, residencies, or short performances. The fact that an artist is approved to the roster does not imply or guarantee that the artist will receive bookings in the coming year. If you are an artist, becoming a Kansas Touring Artist helps you to be found by presenters and connects you to the community of other roster artists.

Public Artist & Muralist Roster: The Kansas Arts Commission maintains an approved Roster of Kansas-based artists working specifically on public art and mural projects. Applicants for this roster must have a history of community engaged public work and maintain a reasonable fee range. Roster artists are required to work outside their community regularly. Artists will work on public projects as well as provide optional services that may include workshops, master classes, lecture-demonstrations, arts education components, residencies, or short performances.

APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY: Kansas-based nonprofits, individuals, universities, and unincorporated/for-profit groups providing arts performances and experiences in any artistic discipline.
