MN State Arts Board
We’re thrilled to have received grants for Operating Support and Creative Support from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This is exciting not only because it provides much-needed funds to HUGE, but because it reflects the value Minnesota taxpayers place on the arts. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
Metropolitan Regional Arts Council

We appreciate that this not only because it provides much-needed funds to HUGE, but because it reflects the value Minnesota taxpayers place on the arts. Thank you! This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
