International Association of Theatre Critics
The International Association of Theatre Critics (IATC) is a worldwide organization of which all ATCA members are default members. Founded in Paris in 1956, the IATC is a non-profit, Non-Governmental Organization benefitting under statute B of UNESCO. IATC holds a world congress every two years, seminars for young critics twice a year, as well as symposiums, and contributes to jurys. English and French are the association's two official languages, and its place of incorporation is Paris.

If you would like to be considered for a Foundation of the American Theatre Critics Association travel grant in conjunction with your IATC seminar application, fill out a Grant Request form. Grant requests are considered twice annually by the FATCA board. Subsidy is not guaranteed. Applications must be received one month prior to each meeting, which are generally held in February and May. Grant recipients will be notified of their acceptance and the terms of grant.
