The Performing Arts Japan(PAJ) program was started by the Japan Foundation in 1994 with the mission to establish a system for promoting Japanese performing art in the United States. The PAJ program supports the initiatives taken by U.S. nonprofit organizations to provide geographically diverse America audiences with greater exposure to Japanese performing arts. PAJ also encourages collaborations between Japanese and American artists, which will further an appreciation of Japanese culture when presented to American audiences.
The Japan Foundation is now accepting proposals for projects to receive PAJ touring and collaboration grants for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
