Lakes Region Arts Council is accepting grant applications from individual artists and organizations until March.

LRAC is proud to be a partner and active participant in Minnesota’s Statewide Arts System. LRAC and the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB) work together to provide grants and services to our nine county region. LRAC supports the work of Minnesota Citizens for the Arts through organizing grass roots activities and promoting attendance at Arts Advocacy Day. LRAC is a recipient of McKnight Foundation funding which supports our work with individual artists. LRAC also partners with Springboard for the Arts to provide a satellite Springboard office based in Fergus Falls.
