With the Trump administration proposing to eliminate funding for the National Endowment of the Arts, Springboard for the Arts wanted to help shape the national debate by highlighting how a $25,000 NEA grant helped a struggling rural Minnesota community leverage 10 times that amount in new private investments ($1.2 million) for an innovative artist-led economic development program.
PKPR placed in depth stories on Springboard’s powerful NEA case study in outlets including ThinkProgress, Vice’s Creators, and The Art Newspaper.
