Arts Learning

The Arts Learning grant program offers funding for projects that help lifelong learners acquire knowledge and understanding of and skills in the arts. Projects must provide participatory learning and engage learners with skilled teaching artists and high quality artistic experiences.

Who Can Apply

Nonprofit organizations; public agencies or divisions of local, state, or tribal government; educational institutions; artists; and arts organizations may apply.

An Operating Support or Community Arts Schools and Conservatories grantee is able to apply for an Arts Learning grant, so 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 organization or individual may be the official applicant on only one Arts Learning proposal per fiscal year, but that same organization or individual may be a collaborating partner on other proposed projects.

Grant Range

$5,000–$150,000

The applicant may request 100 percent of the total project costs; no match is required. In the future, a match requirement is likely to be added and applicants will need to be able to support a share of the total project’s cash expenses from other sources.
