A component of the Nevada Touring Initiative (NTI), the Traveling Exhibition Program (TEP) delivers high quality visual arts exhibits to communities throughout the state for an affordable fee. The cost includes rental of the artwork, installation and pick-up, insurance, and publicity and educational materials. TEP feature an array of subjects and art forms, ranging from traditional Washoe basketry to landscape painting and contemporary sculpture.
TEP Exhibit Sponsors
An eligible sponsor can be any Nevada community oriented, nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 status or currently registered as an agent of a governmental body (i.e. correctional institution, park district, college or public library), willing to undertake local responsibility for presenting TEP events. Sponsors may include local arts agencies, arts organizations, community centers, museums, libraries, and colleges. Each sponsoring site is required to appoint one person to act as the TEP Sponsor and NAC's contact person.
Exhibition Components
Each exhibition is available for eight (8) weeks and includes:
Wall Space Requirements
To prevent any damage or loss of the artwork, it is necessary that exhibition areas be as secure as possible. Please check each exhibit for specific space and exhibition requirements, as they do vary.
Security, Care of Exhibition Artwork and Crate Storage Requirements
Although the State of Nevada insures the TEP artwork, the Exhibit Sponsor must give to objects borrowed the same care as it does comparable property of its own. Precautions must be taken to protect objects from fire, theft, mishandling, dirt, insects, and extremes of light, temperature and humidity while in the Exhibit Sponsor’s custody. On each of the exhibition descriptions is a list of the security requirements and any special requirements.
Under no circumstances may the Exhibit Sponsor remove any TEP artwork from the designated exhibition space without prior written authorization from NAC. It is understood that all objects will remain in the condition received and will not be repaired, restored, cleaned or altered in any way without written permission from NAC. Sposnors are required to store the exhibit crates in a safe place on site during the entire exhibition.
Cost
The TEP rental cost is $150 per exhibition. Approval of the application is based on the availability of the exhibit requested and program funding which is determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Exhibit Sponsors may not apply for other NAC Grants to support TEP activities.
