Five Wings Arts Council

FIVE WINGS ARTS COUNCIL is a nonprofit organization based out of Staples, Minnesota, and serving Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd, and Wadena counties, and the residents of the Leech Lake Tribal community. As one of the eleven Regional Arts Councils of Minnesota, the Five Wings Art Council is entrusted with the stewardship and distribution of funds acquired from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage (ACH) fund as well as funds allocated from the General Budget through the Minnesota State Legislature. We embrace the vision, guiding principles, goals, and key strategies developed in partnership with the Minnesota Regional Arts Councils and the Minnesota State Arts Board. FWAC is committed to working together to accomplish this vision. We do this through grant programs designed to support the work of community organizations and individual artists. The Five Wings Arts Council also administers grant funds from the McKnight Foundation to support the work of individual artists within our region.
