COVID-19: International Artist Visas
In This SectionOrchestras in communities of all sizes frequently engage international guest artists. In the wake of COVID-19, policy solutions are needed as arts organizations and global artists pivot to reschedule planned performances. The League and arts sector partners are calling on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the U.S. Department of State to implement immediate policy solutions that will support the future of international cultural activity. The League hosts www.artistsfromabroad.org, a complete guide to artist visa procedures, where we are posting the latest news on artist visa policies.
