Join us in an Alcohol Inks class with local artist, Dave Christensen of Bagley, MN. Participants who come to this class will learn about alcohol inks and how they can be manipulated using air, straws, brushes, moving the paper in any direction, or by using old credit cards.

Dave will quickly put everyone at ease while allowing students to come up to get their supplies to create their masterpieces. The class will be focused on creating abstract paintings. Some items/techniques that are used in this art project are: a type of paper called Yupo, isopropyl alcohol, and a bleeding solution. This is challenging to most students until they stop trying to control what is happening. It is very much a “let go and see what happens” type of art experience. Some comments from previous participants who have taken a similar class range from “loved this class! wonderful, something everyone can enjoy” to “I have found my jam!!” The instructor will bring all tools and materials needed.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation thanks to the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

The Anishinaabe Arts Initiative (AAI) Fellowship is made possible by the generous support of the McKnight Foundation to provide unfettered funding to one individual Indigenous artist or culture bearer to fuel his/her art in Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Mahnomen, Lake of the Woods, Becker, Roseau, Cass, and Itasca counties in Minnesota. Applications will be scored on the artistic quality of the work, the artistic merit of the artist, and on the proposal.

The goal of the annual Region 2 Arts Council AAI Fellowship Program is to assist the region’s most talented artists who are enrolled tribal members and descendants, in furthering and innovating their work by awarding substantial financial support to fund creative time and/or arts experiences that facilitate depth and advancement in their art form. Through such support, the R2AC aims to raise the profile of artistic work in the region and create a strong community of Anishinaabe Arts Initiative Fellows. Each fellow’s artwork will be featured on our website.

Typically one $5,000 award will be granted.

The funds can be used for, but not limited to:

• Exploring new directions or continuing work in progress

• Production costs, materials, or equipment

• Marketing your work

• Travel, research or study to further your art

• Collaborative or community projects

Because we ask you to engage community in this grant, we want you to set an outcome and a means to measure whether you successfully achieved that outcome. An outcome should describe a change in knowledge, skill, attitude, awareness, behavior, or condition in your target audience. Effective project outcomes are specific, measurable, and can be reasonably achieved by the proposed activity.

A Note on Grant Awards as Taxable Income
If awarded, you will be asked to fill out a W-9 tax form and the grant award will be considered extra income for you in that tax year. Because this is a grant for individuals, you cannot shift the tax burden to any limited liability companies/corporations you may own for your arts business, but you can use a fiscal sponsor. A fiscal sponsor is a nonprofit entity that lends you their nonprofit status and provides some financial oversight for funds received from a grant award. Often they charge a flat fee or request a percentage of granted funds for this service.  If awarded, your grant award check would be made out to your fiscal sponsor, they would relay the funds to you in one large check or series of smaller payouts for your each of your expenses as you ask for/report them. The granted funds would be part of the fiscal sponsor’s tax reporting, removing the tax burden from you. You would want an agreement (sample fiscal sponsor agreement form) in place to set the responsibilities for each of you.

These grants help provide some measure of funding stability by offering operating support to arts organizations and arts affiliates so they can focus on increasing the quality and availability of the arts to their communities. Organizations qualify for funding amounts between $2,000 – $7,000 based on their averaged annual expenses from the past two years. This two-year grant open to any arts organization or arts affiliate. Arts groups formed for nonprofit purposes, with a fiscal sponsor, that plan to use this grant to apply for their own nonprofit status are also eligible.
