Join us for a discussion about the mission, categories, criteria, funding, and organizational steps to set up a sustainable MN Visual-Fine Arts Awards program. Artists, arts advocates and anyone interested is encouraged to attend. We need ideas and committee members to get this started, no long term commitment - just a passion to recognize the visual arts genre deserves an awards show, too.
