PHILOSOPHY: ARTIST ROSTERS

    GCA helps support the development of the state’s arts infrastructure through four Funded Programs: Touring Artist Roster, Arts Education Consultant Bank, Arts Education Teaching Artist Bank, and Teacher Professional Learning Bank. There is no monetary award associated with these programs; however, they promote those included on the Banks/Rosters, and serve as resources for Georgia teachers, schools, and arts organizations. All arts organizations, artists, and arts professionals listed in the GCA Touring Artist Roster, Traditional Artist Roster and Arts Education Banks are GCA-certified, having gone through a competitive adjudication process.

     The Touring Artists Roster provides promotion for Georgia artists who offer arts programming available for touring.  To increase opportunities for Georgia artists to obtain successful touring engagements, GCA makes this publication available to the public, community arts councils, GAP sub-grantees, and other presenting organizations in Georgia, as well as through the Performing Arts Exchange’s annual conference for national presenters.  Although success in being placed on the TAR does not guarantee bookings, it is an effective marketing tool.
