Springboard for the Arts

Founded in 1991, Springboard for the Arts is a national artist-centered community and economic development organization. From our offices in Saint Paul and Fergus Falls, Minnesota, we work to support artists with the tools to make a living and a life, and to build just and equitable communities full of meaning, joy, and connection. 

Thanks to our community of supporters, Springboard is a place where artists can find the resources they need to thrive—and make a real difference in their communities. 

Last year alone, Springboard served over 27,000 artists in 74 of Minnesota’s 87 counties and paid over $1.1 million directly to artists (nearly a quarter of our budget!) through artist project fees, micro-grants, fellowships, and guaranteed income payments.
