How Does Minnesota Benefit from the National Endowment for the Arts?
The NEA benefits Minnesota in two ways: First, the NEA gives significant money to the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB), which in turn gives grants to arts organizations serving communities in every corner of our state, making access to culture less dependent upon where you live. MSAB grants, partially funded with NEA dollars, regularly go to organizations around the state, such as: Bloomington Art Center * College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph * Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro * Duluth Art Institute * Duluth Playhouse * Duluth-Superior Symphony Assn. * East Side Arts Council * Fargo-Moorhead Civic Opera Company * Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre * Fargo-Moorhead Orchestral Association * Fergus Falls Center for the Arts * Jewish Community Center of Greater Minneapolis * Mankato Symphony Orchestra * Minnesota Ballet in Duluth * Minnetonka Center for the Arts * New York Mills Arts Retreat * Northfield Arts Guild * Plains Art Museum in Fargo-Moorhead * Reif Arts Council in Grand Rapids *
