U.S. Artist Visas and International Travel in the Age of COVID: Latest Update

***This event has passed and the replay is now available.***

After more than a year of canceled, postponed, or reimagined performances, U.S. arts organizations, presenters, and agents have resumed programming and planning for the 2021-22 season, only to find the U.S. is not quite ready to open our borders for all international artists.

In this free 75-minute webinar, on Thursday, September 9 from 3:00-4:15 p.m (EDT), experts from Tamizdat and the hosts of ArtistsfromAbroad.org – the Association of Performing Arts Professionals and the League of American Orchestras – will:

  • Describe what it takes to secure U.S. artist visas and navigate COVID-19 travel restrictions right now.
  • Cover what the current and long-term policy environment means for seeking more equitable opportunities to support international cultural activity.
