One of our client projects has been a community needs assessment for the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB). It is exciting to watch the new developments coming from their planning efforts. Today I would like to highlight a number of new grants MSAB is offering.

MSAB has “seven new grant programs that will support arts and arts access, arts learning, and arts and cultural heritage across the state, and will give Minnesotans more opportunities to experience the arts.” The new granting programs fund:

Arts Access
Arts Tour Minnesota
Partners in Arts Participation
Arts Learning
Community Arts Schools and Conservatories
Folk and Traditional Arts
Minnesota Festival Support —

You can learn more about 3 of the 7 programs right now on the MSAB website with more information to come on the rest. Grants have varying application deadlines, so please check their website.
