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.

The Series Presenter Support program was discontinued as of June 30, 2010. Organizations that have applied for funds and/or been funded in the Series Presenter Support program in the past are encouraged to seek funding for their future activities through the Arts Tour Minnesota program.

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.
