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.
In addition to congratulating the winner of our $200 drawing, we go over some of the important things we learned from your responses to our Needs Assessment Survey and explain how they will impact future programs.
In their recent ‘Statewide Stories’ blog post, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council profiled LRAC and one of our important funding opportunities - the Equitable Access Support program - designed to help the underrepresented communities throughout the Minnesota’s Lakes Area Region.
The 2022 Spring Project Grant awardees have been announced! LRAC is proud to congratulate these eight organizations and look forward to the exciting variety of projects this funding opportunity will provide for their communities.
