Artists, culture bearers, and makers are essential to the future of rural places—and to the ways those places help our society develop and build new systems or policies that are human-centered, equitable, and resilient. Since 2021, Springboard for the Arts’ Rural Regenerator Fellowship has invested more than $1 Million in rural cultural organizers across the Upper Midwest, building a lasting and resilient network of support, solidarity, and exchange.
The Rural Regenerator Fellowship brings rural artists into a supportive peer network, helping to sustain and deepen their existing work, while cultivating a network of geographic exchange, mutual support, and solidarity across the rural Midwest.
Since its launch in 2021, 44 Fellows from across the Upper Midwest have come together to support each other’s work, and share ideas.
There are no open opportunities at this time.
