DDCF Fund for National Projects Announces Deadline
The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is now accepting letters of inquiry for its Fund for National Projects program, which is the foundation’s only initiative in which producing or presenting organizations in the dance, jazz, presenting and/or theatre fields can apply for direct DDCF support.
The deadline to submit a letter of inquiry is July 2, and letters of inquiry must be submitted online. Full proposals are due approximately six weeks after receiving an invitation to submit.

Patterned after NPN's model performing arts program, the Visual Artists Network was launched in 2007 as a pilot, and in 2009 the program was formally established through the induction of the VAN Partners, fifteen leading contemporary arts organizations from across the United States.
The boundaries between the performing and visual arts are more than blurred: "Performance art" on the stage and "installations" in a gallery. Using the residency model of a touring performing artist, VAN is a way for the visual artist to engage in community.
