ArtsLab goes beyond traditional capacity-building approaches to strengthen operational management, increase the leadership pool for tomorrow’s arts sector, strengthen the presence of visionary small arts organizations, and use the power of the arts to enhance community vitality and engagement.

“Such promising, smaller organizations are worthy of both our attention and our investments,” explained Carleen Rhodes, president and CEO of The Saint Paul Foundation. “By allowing them to bring their missions fully to life, ArtsLab’s programs and professional team also empower them to have increased presence and engagement in their communities. In partnership with our committed colleagues, we are pleased to support these organizations as invaluable regional assets.”
