We are gearing up for a new fiscal year at Region 2 Arts Council. FY18 will begin on July 1, 2017.  It will bring  a new set of goals, a new year of grant deadlines, a new year of supporting arts projects and programming, a new office space (in October),  and many new opportunities to support artistic expression in our five county region.

Before we launch into the new, we want to take a moment to look at the now. Congratulations to all of our grant recipients, all of our grant applicants, and all who have planted a seed of creativity that has taken root and begun to grow.

Go to Awarded Grants for a list of FY17 grant recipients from our five-county region. Take a look below for the total amount awarded this fiscal year within each of our five counties:

  • Beltrami County: $132,454.00
  • Hubbard County: $51,053.00
  • Clearwater County: $29,747.00
  • Lake of the Woods County: $19,999.00

Our grants, services, showcasing opportunities and operations are made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, with money from the State’s general fund, and with funding from the McKnight Foundation.  Thank you as well to our fiscal agent, the Minnesota State Arts Board, and the entire Regional Arts Council system in the state of Minnesota.
