French-American Jazz Exchange Offers Support for Collaborative Projects
The French-American Jazz Exchange was created by Chamber Music America, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and the French American Cultural Exchange to foster collaborative projects that unite French and American jazz artists. The program supports initiatives in both countries.
In forming international relationships, artists are encouraged to think beyond traditional boundaries. Collaborations with musicians who champion world, electronic, contemporary classical, or other genres are welcome.
Projects may include, but are not limited to, composition, touring, recording, and audience-development activities. Public performance is required, with the understanding that jazz speaks to diverse populations and experiencing music together bridges differences.
French and American citizens or legal residents are encouraged to apply. Grant will range up to $10,000 each.
