arts impact for individuals

The Arts Impact for Individuals grant program provides up to $5,000 for artistic projects in Minnesota led by individuals. Projects must be focused on creating access to the arts for Minnesotans, and/or engaging with Minnesota communities through artistic endeavors. Proposed projects could include:

• Connecting Minnesotans with participation in arts and cultural experiences; and/or
• Integrating artists and/or artistic engagement to accomplish a community’s non-arts goals; and/or
• Providing Minnesotans with opportunities for arts learning and passing along expressive cultural traditions.

Community members, rather than the applicant, must be the primary beneficiary of project activities. At least three Minnesotans other than the applicant must participate in the project. Projects primarily focused on developing the applicant’s own needs and creative interests are not a good fit with this program.
