Arts Midwest

ArtsLab is a three-year capacity-building program whose purpose is to strengthen smaller arts organizations in Minnesota. The program is a robust tool for strengthening organizations as well as their individual leadership, offering a diverse set of activities including an in-depth organizational assessment process, quarterly peer learning gatherings, one-on-one consultative support, distance learning, and modest operational support grants.

The program will form two peer groups of eight nonprofit arts organizations – a metro and a rural group – to learn together, share best practices, and receive support to strengthen their organizational infrastructure.

ArtsLab is funded by the Bush Foundation, F. R. Bigelow Foundation, Mardag Foundation, The McKnight Foundation, and The Saint Paul Foundation.
