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.
Lake Region Arts Council and West Central Initiative are now seeking applications from towns of 5,000 or fewer in west central Minnesota.
On Tuesday, September 20, 2022, eight artists within the LRAC 9-county region were selected for this year’s Artist Quick Start Grants. Funded by a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council through The McKnight Foundation, each artist will be awarded $1,000 to go towards activities and projects resulting in career development and artistic achievement.
Lake Region Arts Council, in partnership with West Central Initiative, is pleased to announce Artists on Main Street! This program, developed by Springboard for the Arts, is a new, year-long initiative designed to support rural community development and revitalizing local Downtown areas. The deadline to apply for this opportunity is Friday, October 7, 2022.
