North Dakota Council on the Arts grant awards.
The Minot Area Council of the Arts was among 57 recipients of Institutional Support funding. The Institutional Support program is designed to benefit artists, arts organizations, and the general public. The program provides general support for qualifying arts and cultural organizations that have proven they have strong management and leadership, quality artistic programming and services, and are an important part of the arts infrastructure in their communities.
The grant will help to provide funds to the Minot Area Council of the Arts in support of the programs and services provided to their member organizations and the community.
"Support from the North Dakota Council on the Arts allows us to continue to provide quality services to members and the community," says Terri Aldrich, Executive Director. "Programs such as our Arts in the Parks free summer concert series and the Integrity Jazz Festival are able to continue to grow because of this support for staffing and expenses."
The Minot Area Council of the Arts (MACA) is an umbrella arts service organization that has provided services to Minot, the surrounding area, and its nearly 50 member organizations for more than 30 years.
The North Dakota Council on the Arts is the state agency responsible for the support and development of the arts throughout North Dakota, and is funded by the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
