The Lighton International Artists Exchange Program works to make the world a smaller place by giving artists of different cultures the opportunity to work together in the hope that lasting friendship and understanding will develop.
The program provides support for visual artists and arts professionals to travel to international residencies and artist communities and for foreign visual artists to travel to and work in the United States.
L.I.A.E.P. GOALS
Encourage and reward dedicated artists with the unique opportunities afforded by travel and exchange of ideas and expertise between peers; enrich creative development; expand the Kansas City community's access to the art of other cultures; and enlarge the understanding of US culture and life in the world.
L.I.A.E.P. CRITERIA
The program seeks applications from dedicated American artists who create work of exceptional quality and whose work and career is at a level to benefit from international exchange with peers. The program is especially interested in funding artists who have not yet worked in a foreign country and in funding travel and residencies to countries that are less westernized. Artists from Kansas City and the Central Plains/Midwest area receive priority for funding.
International artists who want to apply for funding for a Kansas City residency may submit inquiries to JanetSimpson at KansasCityArtistsCoalition dot org.
Application forms are available for downloading. Application deadlines are March 15 and August 15, (not a postmark deadline). Artists should apply 6-12 months prior to intended travel dates. Notification will be mailed two months after deadlines.
Due to the current economic downturn, a reduced number of grants will be available; criteria will be strictly observed. The maximum l.i.a.e.p. grant is $5,000. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
