Arts Access
The Arts Access grant program is designed to help arts organizations broaden
arts opportunities for underserved groups. Grants can be used to identify
underserved groups or communities, identify the barriers that keep them from
engaging in the arts, and develop and implement strategies to reduce or eliminate
the barriers.
Who Can Apply
The applicant may be any Minnesota nonprofit
arts organization including producing organizations, presenting organizations
and presenting affiliates, or any other arts group that is exempt from taxation
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or has a nonprofit, tax-exempt
fiscal agent.
An Operating Support or Community Arts Schools and Conservatories grantee is able to apply for an Arts Access grant, as long as it can describe how its proposed project expands upon past programming, allows the organization to provide new kinds of service, and enables it to serve a broader, more diverse, audience of Minnesotans.
An applicant may submit only one Arts Access grant proposal per fiscal year.
