Upcoming Webinars

Artists and culture bearers in the Prairie Lakes region have been invited to attend three upcoming workshops, hosted as part of Springboard for the Arts’ Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists series, held in collaboration with the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC).

Each free, virtual session consists of a 1.5 hour workshop led by Kandace Creel Falcón, followed by time for connection and conversation among attendees, co-facilitated by Springboard and SEMAC staff.
