There are no openings at this time for Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council (PLRAC).

Board Members are appointed through an open nomination process. The board is comprised of fourteen members, one from each of the nine counties, one from each city over 10,000 population; and one at-large. Board members serve a three-year term with a maximum of two terms. Monthly evening meetings are held the fourth Thursday of the month, in Mankato, at Bethany Lutheran College. Board members are reimbursed for their mileage to meetings. Attendance at several PLRAC funded arts events per year is required.

Last year the board awarded 195 grants for a total of $381,510 . The Council makes policy decisions and develops the plan for the regional arts program, which is submitted to the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB). The PLRAC serves a nine-county area and receives funding from the Minnesota State Legislature and McKnight Foundation, Minneapolis.
