THE PAD PROGRAM

The Performing Arts Discovery (PAD) program promotes U.S. performing artists to international programmers, festival directors, and venue managers.

PAD aims to expand international markets and generate overseas touring opportunities for U.S. performing artists.

The PAD program is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration’s (ITA) Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP).
