The FY2026 Kentucky Touring Grant provides matching funds to nonprofit organizations and community institutions across Kentucky to support public performances. It helps presenters book performers from the Kentucky Arts Council’s Performing Artists Directory, enabling arts groups, libraries, social service agencies, and other eligible entities to enhance cultural offerings statewide.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with budgets under $1 million, including arts groups, public libraries, social service agencies, community organizations, and certain institutions like assisted living homes and state parks in Kentucky.
