NEST 2 grants fund tours of New England-based artists where one presenter is based inside of the artist’s home state and one other presenter is applying from outside of the artist’s home state.

NEST 3 grants (in NEFA’s FY22) funds tours of regional, national, or international artists that include a minimum of two (typically three) New England-based presenters in different communities. The presenting organizations applying must be from at least two different New England states.
