Arts Tour Minnesota
The Arts Tour Minnesota program is designed to give Minnesotans greater access
to high-quality artists and arts organizations, regardless of geography. Arts
Tour Minnesota project grants support touring performances, exhibitions,
and other related arts activities throughout the state.
Who Can Apply
Minnesota professional artists and nonprofit
arts organizations that want to tour may apply. Community groups, cities,
public and nonprofit agencies, arts organizations, and others that would like
to present touring artists or arts activities may also apply.
An Operating Support or Community Arts Schools and Conservatories grantee is able to apply for an Arts Tour Minnesota 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.
Grant Range
$5,000–$100,000
The applicant must provide at least 20 percent of the total project’s cash
expenses from other sources, and may receive up to 80 percent of the total project’s
cash expenses in combined support from the Minnesota State Arts Board and one
of more or more the state’s regional arts councils.
