The State of the Arts

The Arts Partnership invites you to attend their fourth annual State of the Arts, generously sponsored by Bell Bank!

The State of the Arts is the annual arts and business celebration where The Arts Partnership's President & CEO Dayna Del Val highlights the successes of the arts in the community this past year, debuts TAP's goals for the upcoming fiscal year and awards City Arts Partnership grants to the area nonprofits that add vibrancy to the community and grow the economy through art.

This year Russ White, CEO of SCG Nonprofits will be the keynote speaker discussing why the role of the board of directors is so important to the success of the arts sector and beyond.

TAP is also awarding the following local arts advocates, organizations and businesses for their significant contributions to the arts:

• Jade Presents, Outstanding Business in Support of Artists

• Kilbourne Group, Outstanding Arts Collaborator with The Arts Partnership

• Linda Boyd, Outstanding Arts Leader

• Office Sign Company, Outstanding Business in the Arts

• ???, Outstanding Arts Board of Directors (will be announced at the event)

There will be performances by the FM Youth Choir and FMSO Concertmaster Sonja Bosca-Harasim. A light breakfast will be served.

It is well known that employees today have significant options for choosing where to live and work, and communities of our size, geography and location must provide the quality of life amenities that make moving here attractive. A major piece of that is arts and culture, including the performing arts, museums, galleries, independent artists, craft breweries, locally owned restaurants and entrepreneurial shops. The State of the Arts is the annual event celebrating the power of the arts in our community.

Tickets are $25. All are welcome to attend!

Parking is available on the streets downtown, at the nearby RoCo lot and the Radisson parking ramp. 90-minute parking on the streets starts at 8am, but the State of the Arts ends at 9am.
