Ready Go: New Artist-Led Workshops in Minnesota!
By Springboard for the Arts
Ready Go is a platform of artist-led activities that can be customized and brought to community events, creating unique, engaging arts experiences that bring people together. Located at www.readygoart.com, these artist-created mobile tools are purpose-built to pique curiosity, prompt interaction, and facilitate engagement through making and participation.
The Ready Go artist roster features a library of artist-led mobile projects that operate across the state of Minnesota, and are available to hire year-round. Ready Go artists have been hosted at festivals, pop-up events, markets, library events, private gatherings, and more. Hire an artist to bring their mobile tool to your next community event that needs a creative spark.
Interested in adapting the Ready Go model for your community? We created a free, downloadable guide to share how artists and organizations can create mobile tools to spark curiosity, engagement, and connection!
Ready Go Workshops is a growing roster of artists bringing innovative and engaging activities to communities to inspire connection, creativity, and joy. From writing snail mail to starting your own podcast, this set of artist-led workshops are imagining new ways to bring people together all throughout the year! You’re welcome to hire an artist for an individual workshop or an ongoing series. Explore the roster to get started and submit a booking request.
