Download Issue: National Endowment for the Arts - FY 2006 American Masterpieces Program The National Endowment for the Arts, through the American Masterpieces program, invites organizations to submit proposals for support of performances, exhibitions, tours, and educational programs across all art forms that will reach large and small communities in all 50 states.
Institutional Limitations: Please note that NEA recognizes certain entities under a parent organization as separate for purposes of their institutional limits, as long as any application submitted by the parent organization is distinctly different from any submitted by these entities. Examples of such "separately identifiable and independent components" include university art museums. However, an academic department is explicitly NOT considered separate from its college or university parent. A parent organization should consult with Arts Endowment staff to verify the eligibility of its component before preparing an application. Please refer to the "Applicant Eligibility" section of the program announcements for further details. Internal Application Process: Anyone at Duke University interested in submitting an American Masterpieces proposal to NEA, whether or not they consider their organization separate from Duke from NEA purposes, should first email a statement of intent (by the October 3 internal deadline) to Ken Macdonald in the Office of Research Support (kwmac@duke.edu, 681-5988). This statement should identify the specific American Masterpieces solicitation to which the proposal will respond, provide a short description of the project, and indicate if it is your intent to apply as a separate organization apart from Duke. Finally, you may contact Ken Macdonald in ORS with any questions you may have regarding these programs or the internal submission process. Deadline: Oct. 3 (Duke internal). WEB LINK.
