Anuradha Naimpally ACCEPTED FOR NEW
TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS TEXAS TOURING
ROSTER
Austin,
TX – June 7, 2010 – Dancer Anuradha Naimpally is pleased to announce she has
been approved for inclusion on the new Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) Texas
Touring Roster. The Texas Touring Roster features some of the state’s best
artistic talent and is designed to ensure that all Texans may enjoy events and performances
by these artists in their local communities. Naimpally is one of only 124
artists and arts companies selected for inclusion on the roster.
“Artists on the Texas Touring Roster
travel to communities across the state and perform in a variety of venues,”
said TCA executive director Gary Gibbs. “In addition to performances, they may
also conduct workshops, master classes, residencies, lecture-demonstrations or
arts education components as a way to engage community residents. We are proud
to offer the citizens of Texas access to such high-quality artistic talent.”
Artists
on the roster must have a history of touring and maintain a reasonable fee
range. The Texas Commission on the Arts does not provide direct funds to
artists in the Texas Touring Roster. Instead, TCA provides grants to arts
presenters, schools, libraries, theatres and other nonprofits throughout Texas
to help with the cost of bringing in companies and artists from the roster.
Presenters may apply through TCA’s Arts Respond Performance Support grant category
for a portion of the artistic fees for artists from the Texas Touring
Roster.
Acceptance
onto the Texas Touring Roster benefits artists like Naimpally by giving them a
powerful marketing tool. Access to grant funds combined with the fact that Texas
Touring Roster artists have been deemed the best in their field by a panel of
statewide experts makes these artists attractive to a variety of presenters,
including schools, festivals, theatres and other venues.
Artists
on the Texas Touring Roster range from individual performing and visual artists
to large performing arts companies. They represent artistic disciplines
including music, visual art, dance, theatre, storytelling, literary art and
folk art. Options are diverse and range from ballet to bluegrass, sculpture to
cowboy poetry, jazz to children’s theatre, and everything in between.

Performance Support grant category, is available online at www.arts.state.tx.us.
