I’m happy to share that I am a recipient of the 2023 MRAC Next Step Grant!
The Next Step Fund is made possible with support from the McKnight Foundation and provides project grants up to $5,000 to artists in any arts discipline. This year, MRAC received 370 applications from all seven counties in the region. With only 9% of applicants receiving a grant award, Next Step Fund remains as the most competitive program at MRAC.
This grant provides funding for the expansion and development of the artist’s in-home recording studio and music production facility, to further the artist’s work in sonic conservation and creative sound. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
