SEMCAC Announces Recent Individual Artist Grant Awards

Posted

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

On September 17, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council awarded $126,065 in arts programming grants to artists and public schools throughout Southeastern Minnesota. This includes two previously-announced School Residency grants, fourteen Emerging Artist grants and sixteen Advancing Artist grants.

Grants to individuals and schools in Wabasha County:

Wabasha County

Espoir DelMain, Wabasha, received a $3,000 Emerging Artist Grant grant for Driftless Dance.

Plainview-Elgin-Millville High School, Plainview, received a $1,275 School Residency grant for Dance Intensive.

All granted activities must be completed within 12 months, culminating in a public capstone event. Recipients were selected through a competitive process with applications judged on artistic merit and community impact. SEMAC congratulates the award winners and looks forward to celebrating the creativity these grants will bring to southeastern Minnesota.
