R2AC Arts Fellowships

Past Awarded Grants

The R2AC Fellowship Award is made possible the by generous support of the McKnight Foundation to provide unfettered funding to individual artists to fuel their art in Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Mahnomen, and Lake of the Woods counties in Minnesota.

The goal of the Region 2 Arts Council (R2AC) Fellowship Program is to assist the region’s most talented artists in furthering and innovating their work by awarding financial support to fund creative time and/or arts experiences that facilitate depth and advancement in their art form. Through such support, the R2AC aims to award artistic excellence and elevate the quality of artistic work in our region. This Fellowship is intended for dedicated artists that have created a substantial independent body of work, have received recognition for their work through development, production, or publishing opportunities or awards, and whose work has been selected for solo exhibitions, commissions, presentations, readings, or performances.
