Join the Leaders Shaping Arts Advocacy in Minnesota
Apply by Monday, September 29th!
We’re looking for a few new leaders who want to get more involved in arts advocacy across Minnesota. Minnesota Citizens for the Arts (MCA) is currently accepting applications for our Board of Directors, and we’d love to hear from people who are passionate about the arts and want to help make a difference.
Serving on MCA’s Board is an opportunity to help shape our statewide advocacy work, connect with other leaders from across Minnesota, and play a direct role in protecting public investment in the arts. Our Board helps lead the effort to protect and defend more than $50 million in arts funding through the Minnesota State Arts Board and Regional Arts Councils.
We’re interested in hearing from artists, arts leaders, community advocates, business professionals, and others who care about making sure Minnesota continues to have a strong and vibrant arts community. We’re especially interested in building a Board that represents communities and perspectives from across the state.
Interested in getting more involved? Applications are due Monday, September 29.
Deadline to apply: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th
Celebrating This Year’s MCA State Fair Award Winner!

Each year, Minnesota Citizens for the Arts is proud to sponsor an award recognizing the incredible talent featured in the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition. This year, we’re excited to congratulate Gary Carlson, whose piece "Into the Mystic" was selected as the MCA award winner!
If you’re heading to the State Fair, be sure to make a stop at the Fine Arts Building to see "Into the Mystic" and explore the incredible collection of work from artists across Minnesota. It’s a wonderful reminder of the creativity, talent, and diverse perspectives that make our state’s arts community so special.
Congratulations, Gary Carlson, and to all of this year’s Fine Arts Exhibition artists!
