Arts Board Rules

What are rules?

The Arts Board is authorized by the Minnesota State Legislature to make rules that govern:

• procedures and criteria for receiving, considering, and reviewing requests for, and distribution of, grants and other forms of assistance; and
• procedures and criteria to conduct a decentralized system of providing grants and other forms of assistance at the grass roots level.

Each time the Arts Board makes revisions or additions to the rules, the public will have an opportunity to comment about the proposed changes.

What are the current rules of the Arts Board?

The Arts Board’s existing rules—Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1900—are available on the Web site of the Office of the Revisor of Statutes.

About the rule making process and current rules changes

The Minnesota State Arts Board has begun a rulemaking project that will amend some rules that govern the way the board distributes grants and other forms of assistance and amend rules that relate to the board's statutory role as fiscal agent for regional arts councils. Visit the rulemaking page to learn more about proposed rule changes or to submit comments on proposed rules.
