    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Release BILLY KEEEFE at 612.238.8011 [email protected] ARTS MIDWEST TO DISTRIBUTE OVER $700,000 IN CARES ACT FUNDING PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE ARTS AGENCIES WILL EXPEDITE DISTRIBUTION OF RELIEF FUNDS TO MIDWEST CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS MINNEAPOLIS, MN–Arts Midwest announced that it is partnering with the National Endowment for the Arts and its nine member state arts agencies to distribute more than $700,000 in funding from the CARES Act to support Midwestern arts and cultural organizations and their employees during the current disruption of business due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Arts Midwest is working with the state arts agencies in its nine-state region to distribute CARES Act funds as quickly and as equitably as possible across the Midwest. One important feature of the plan is that it reduces application and reporting burdens by enabling organizations to access all funding available to them through a single application and award process administered by their state. “Now more than ever the creative sector plays a critical role in our nation’s recovery and resilience,” shares Torrie Allen, President & CEO of Arts Midwest. “Arts and culture are essential to our collective wellbeing, our connections with one another, and how we will recover from this unprecedented challenge. We are honored to partner with our colleagues at the federal and state level to play a role in preserving these important jobs and helping arts and cultural organizations persevere.” Arts organizations can contact their state arts agency for more information on how this CARES Act funding is being distributed.

Fund Advisors A team of independent fund advisors guides the selection process from nominations to proposal stage and makes final recommendations for the fund’s investments. Arts Midwest’s nine-state region is divided into three-state sub-regions with a group of fund advisors who are arts leaders from the states in that region. • North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa • Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois • Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio Each advisory group is comprised of one field representative from state arts agencies joined by arts and cultural leaders who are committed to equitable funding practices and connected to organizations lead by and serving people of color, Indigenous, and rural communities. This fund is guided by the voices it serves and supports.
