Ready Go: New Artist-Led Workshops in Minnesota!

Three Minnesota artists are imagining new ways to bring people together throughout the year, and using art to do it! From foraging materials for fire building, starting your own podcast, or writing snail mail to a loved one, these new artist-led workshops from Ready Go are available for hire to bring to your community!

Building off Springboard’s Ready Go program, Ready Go Workshops is aimed at connecting artists directly to their local communities through engaging workshops that connect, inspire, and spark your creativity. Learn more about the artists below and how to submit a book request!
