Touring Artist Roster

About The Maryland Performing Artist Touring Roster

The Maryland Performing Artist Touring Roster is a list of Maryland-based artists who have a demonstrated history of successful, professional touring engagements. Artists who are appointed to the Roster have been selected through an internal review process in which they are rated on artistic merit and recommendations from those presenting organizations where they have previously performed.

Benefits of being listed on the Roster include:

Opportunities to receive bookings/artist fees through the Maryland Touring Grant. Please note: placement on the Roster does not guarantee bookings.
MSAC promotion through the distribution of the Roster through MSAC website, e-newsletter, social media, and through the Maryland Presenters Network.

The Maryland State Arts Council does not serve as a booking agent for artists listed, nor is there a direct monetary award associated with placement on the Roster. To be successful, Roster artists use this as a tool to help promote themselves to potential booking agents and presenting organizations.

New applicants wishing to be added to the Roster may submit the FULL APPLICATION. All current Roster Artists must submit a RENEWAL APPLICATION. Please review the guidelines carefully. Full applications must be submitted by October 8, 2018 at 5pm and Renewal applications must be submitted by September 17, 2018 at 5pm via e-mail to Steve Drapalski at steve.drapalski@maryland.gov. Submission of the full application will include work samples, letters of reference, and touring history, as well as other information.

Stay tuned for updates to this program in early Spring 2018 regarding new aspects of the program!
