If you are interested in applying for a grant you will find it useful to attend one of the upcoming ECRAC Grant Info Sessions on Thursdays, October 25 and November 8 for Organizations, and Thursdays, September 27 and October 11 for artists. These sessions will include basic information about the ECRAC art grant programs, as well as recent changes to the grant application processes. If you have already attended a grant information session in the past, a refresher is always a good idea to keep you up to date with any new grant requirements and recent changes to the applications. These sessions will be held at the East Central Regional Arts Council office located at 112 Main Avenue South in Braham, MN. There is no charge to attend but advance registration is recommended.

To register, please call the East Central Regional Arts Council office at 320-396-2337 extension 1, or email info@ecrac.org

These grant programs are made possible with funds provided by The McKnight Foundation and thanks to Minnesota legislative appropriations from the State General Fund and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
