Attention: Artists, Authors, Instructors, Performers and Arts Organizations:
The state library system has set up a way for you to get onto a roster as a possible partner for local libraries to do programs and events with their new legacy funds. Sign up to be in their database by going to: www.mnlegacygrant.org. Click on the link that says “Click Here For Submission Form.” You can fill out a form to inform them what you can offer, your posting will be reviewed and hopefully approved by a regional library person, and then you will be in the database where local libraries will go to find people and organizations to hire with their legacy funds. NOTE: The more information you provide when you sign up, the more likely you will get hired. Make sure to include your prices (and make sure your prices are high enough to cover your costs!). Make sure also to include your website address, if you have one.
This information comes from Minnesota Citizens for the Arts (MCA), which has a list of various access points for Arts and Cultural Heritage resources on their website. Visit http://www.mncitizensforthearts.org/news/amendment-funds/othergrants for a listing of opportunities.
