1) Become a Stakeholder
In order to implement Arts Across the Prairie, diverse stakeholder groups will be formed in each region, joining across county lines. All participants will be guided in the process of selecting locations, designing artist Requests for Proposals, and articulating what type of creation will best represent their region’s cultural heritage. Technical Assistance/Professional Development will be offered to all participants related to budgets, fundraising, land ownership and maintenance, and economic development.
Stakeholder Responsibilities:
- Diverse individuals from across all counties in the Region
- Participate in ongoing (monthly) meetings over Zoom
- Facilitate site selection for proposed public art installation
- Engage with community members
- Assist in artist selection
- Celebrate regional cultural heritage and spread knowledge
