At the November 9, 2023, meeting, the Central MN Arts Board (CMAB) awarded $4,000 in Teaching Artist Grants to support local artists in conducting arts learning activities in community settings.

The Teaching Artist Grant (TAG) is available to artists who complete the CMAB Teaching Artist Roster Program and are listed on CMAB’s Teaching Artist Roster. The goal of the program is to support local artists in sharing their knowledge, skills and process with learners throughout the region.
