A handful of local cultural institutions are among 105 finalists from across the country for creative placemaking grants from
ArtPlace America.
The list includes
Bedlam Theatre, Minnesota Public Radio and the Blue Ox in St. Paul, along with the
Hennepin Theatre Trust in Minneapolis.
“The selected applicants represent the best of the 1,225 letters of inquiry from across the country,” ArtPlace’s website reads. “Finalists were chosen for their potential to transform communities through placing art and culture at the heart of portfolios of integrated strategies that drive vibrancy and diversity.”
Grant recipients will be announced in May, according to the website.
