The Minnesota State Arts Board is holding information sessions in our area. An Arts Board program officer will give a brief overview of all Arts Board grant programs followed by a question and answer period about funding opportunities for artists, arts organizations, schools, community organizations, and human and social service organizations. Individual appointments with a program officer are also offered.

The information sessions and individual appointments are open to the public and free of charge. Advance registration is not required, but is strongly encouraged.
