Renewal of the KAMS - EFWMF tour grants in 2012!

In early 2012, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts Management Service re-solicited applications for the KAMS-EFWMF Tour Grant, with the goal of promoting the international competitiveness and name recognition of Korea's traditional arts through a strategy of overseas performance arrangements.

This support effort was initiated in 2010 under the joint operation of the Korea Arts Management Service (KAMS) and the European Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (EFWMF). Applicants were EFWMF partner festivals confirmed to be in negotiations toward inviting Korean traditional music groups for performance. Once support has been confirmed, the Korean performing artists and/or arts groups invited by the festivals in question will receive assistance to cover airfare and freight transportation costs.

Applications were accepted between March 16 and March 30, 2012, and reviewed on April 9.
