Call for Artists: Community Supported ART! (CSA)
Spring 2011
CSA is back for a third season of locally produced and supported art!
Join us for another season of the popular program that connects local artists and collectors. Haven't heard of CSA and want to find out how you can participate? Read on to learn about the program and how you can get involved as an artist.
What is a CSA?
Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy seasonal food directly from local farms. With the same buy-local spirit in mind, mnartists.org and Springboard for the Arts joined forces for a similar endeavor to support local art, artists and collectors. We are seeking Minnesota artists, of all disciplines, to continue perpetuating the CSA program.
How CSA works:
Artists are selected from a pool of applicants by a jury composed of luminaries from local food and art communities. Selected artists will receive a stipend of $1,000 to create 50 "shares" for the program by June 15, 2011. Shareholders purchase shares for $300 and will receive 1 box containing 3 works of art at 3 different pick up dates throughout the Fall/Winter season. The pick-up evenings will be a local art sites and will be events in themselves.
