Operating Support Grant from Minnesota State Arts Board

Minnesota State Arts Board launches the first grant opportunity for its 2023 grant cycle

The Minnesota State Arts Board has opened the first grant program for its fiscal year 2023 grant cycle (July 2022 – June 2023). Application materials and the online application portal are now available for the FY 2023 Operating Support grant program. Applications are due Friday, January 21, 2022, before 4:30 p.m.

Operating Support provides general support to high quality, established arts organizations that produce, present, or exhibit works of art; to organizations that provide a broad range of services to artists; and to community arts schools and conservatories that make arts learning available to Minnesotans of all ages and abilities.

All Arts Board grant programs are open, statewide, to any applicant that meets the eligibility requirements. Specific requirements for this program are listed in the FY 2023 Operating Support Program Overview and Application Instructions document posted on the Arts Board website: http://www.arts.state.mn.us/grants/operating-support.htm

First time applicants are encouraged to carefully review the Program Overview and Application Instructions and then call the program officer prior to beginning an application.

The board will announce other fiscal year 2023 grant opportunities early in 2022.
