Rural Arts and Culture Summit
ACHF Arts Access
Artists and arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization. Anecdotal responses, contacts made, relationships built, ideas generated.
I came away with a much broader perspective of what it means to invest in the arts in rural Minnesota. Not only must I develop my creative endeavors and hone my craft, but I most also be aware of the many opportunities, roles, and responsibilities that I am charged with as an artist in a rural setting. This notion is almost impossible to do by one's self. The opportunity the Summit gave to connect with artists in my region, and with the many arts organizations that make it all possible, was truly rewarding.
