Our Funding

The NWMAC serves Polk, Pennington, Marshall, Kittson, Red Lake, Norman and Roseau counties in northwestern Minnesota.

Funding for our programs comes primarily from The Minnesota State Legislature.  We, along with the other 10 regional arts councils, work with the Minnesota State Arts Board to provide arts services, staffing and grants.  

We also receive funding from the McKnight Foundation.  This allows our organization to help artists grow and prosper through their continued financial support and leadership training.  Their funds help to promote and showcase our artists’ art.
