Arts Tour Minnesota grant program

This grant program has been discontinued. It was offered in the fiscal year 2010 to 2020 grant cycles; this page is a reference for past grantees.

Arts Tour Minnesota is a program designed to provide Minnesotans greater access to high quality arts activities regardless of geographic location. Grants may be used to support Minnesota presenters hosting professional tours by Minnesota and nonMinnesota artists, or to support Minnesota artists and arts organizations touring existing artworks to Minnesota communities that are outside of their home region. The program is open to tours featuring visual, literary, and performing arts.
