Springboard in Common Dreams

Springboard for the Arts cultivates vibrant neighborhoods by connecting artists with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need to not only make a living but to make positive change in their communities. Through innovative programs like CSAs (Community Supported Art), Artists’ Health Fairs, Irrigate, and Ready Go, Springboard to the Arts helps communities collaborate with artists to solve local economic, social, and cultural challenges.  Its national initiative, Creative Exchange, enables communities everywhere to replicate Springboard for the Arts’ flagship programs as well as proven projects from across the country that mobilize the powerful, creative force of artists to build stronger cities.  Springboard for the Arts is based in St. Paul and Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
