Community Arts Support Grant

Utilizing our downtown gallery in Park Rapids, residents of the Heartland area (Hubbard, Becker, Wadena, Itasca, Cass counties and beyond) will have direct access to artists and artwork of substantial merit who they would not otherwise experience. The regional audience will experience greater access to art programming at NAC through enhanced capabilities with online programming, including artist programs/interviews and website exhibits, made possible by support of our administrative staff. Evaluation methods include survey questionnaires designed to understand and measure constituents' familiarity with and access to the artists and artwork featured at NAC. Questionnaires will be made available in the gallery and shared electronically with attendees, both during the relevant season and with additional followup at the close of each season. The administrator will follow up with specific constituents on an individual or group basis, as available.
