The McKnight Artist Fellowship Program will hold an information session for all interested Minnesota-based applicants
Tuesday, July 15th at 10:00 am CST
Ely Folk School - 209 E Sheridan St, Ely, MN 55731
This session, led by Program Directors Tracy Krumm (Fiber Artists) and Dana Kassel (Dancers and Choreographers) will speak to the full Artist Fellowship program which supports 15 artistic disciplines, and more specifically to Fiber Artist and Dancer/Choreographer Fellowships.
