Mission

Springboard for the Arts' mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by connecting artists with the skills, information, and services they need to make a living and a life. From offices in Saint Paul and Fergus Falls, we do our work, and nationally we consult, present, and help make things happen.

What We Do

Springboard for the Arts is an economic and community development organization for artists and by artists. Our work is about supporting communities and artists that have a reciprocal relationship, where artists are key contributors to community issues and are visible and valued for the impact they create. We do this work by creating simple, practical solutions and systems to support artists - professional development resources, health and legal support, fiscal sponsorship, and by developing cross-sector partnerships for artist-led community development.
