I found the conference a timely opportunity to connect, learn, and refocus on how we continue to grow resilience and imagination in our sector—especially amid changing landscapes in funding, technology, and community needs.
As I complete my first year as Executive Director of the Lake Region Arts Council (LRAC), I find myself reflecting on an experience that has been both humbling and inspiring.
Lake Region Arts Council announces over $122,000 in Fall 2024 Legacy Grants, supporting six individual artists and eleven organizations through funding from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
We have all lived through a year like no other. Together we have met the last year’s challenges with creativity, determination, and hope. Now it’s time to - once again - celebrate the ARTS! Join us for our annual meeting, this year to be held at Carlos Creek Winery.
Minnesota Citizens for the Arts (MCA) has continued conversations with its bipartisan champions in the House and Senate Legacy Finance committees: Senator Carrie Ruud, Breezy Point, Republican, and Representative Leon Lillie, North St. Paul, DFL, as well as with Governor Walz’s Office.
