OPPORTUNITIES

Are You an Artist or
an Arts Organization?

Now you have an opportunity to join our lists!

For Artists: Share your artwork, details about your work, and your contact information so that people throughout southwest Minnesota and beyond can experience your craft and connect with you about your services offered.

For Arts Organizations: Share what you do in your communities and what services you offer! Do you have a gathering space you rent out? Do you hold arts classes? Have a gallery? Gift Shop? A space that can be rented for performances? Share so we can build meaningful connections in SW MN and help with the success of the arts in our region.
