Taube Museum of Art Receives Arts Grant
In support of their efforts to
provide arts programming in their community, the Taube Museum of Art
applied for and was awarded a $7,575 Institutional Support grant by the
North Dakota Council on the Arts.
The Taube Museum of Art was among 55
recipients of Institutional Support funding. The Institutional Support
program is designed to benefit artists, arts organizations, and the
general public. The program provides general support for qualifying arts
and cultural organizations that have proven they have strong management
and leadership, quality artistic programming and services, and are an
important part of the arts infrastructure in their communities. A total
of $419,594 was awarded during this grant round.
This grant will be used to assist us
in presenting nationally recognized visual artists work, as well as from
North Dakota and the surrounding region. With the grant funding we
receive we are able to achieve artistic quality by following our
mission, which is to enrich lives through the visual arts. Our museum
promotes local and regional artists with quality artwork and with a
variety of challenging media. In addition, the gallery seeks to also
attract national and international artists in order to broaden the
artistic interest in the community.
“The Taube Museum of Art is
appreciative of the grant from the North Dakota Council of the Arts in
support of our continued programming,” says Nancy F. Walter, Executive
Director “During this difficult economic time for the arts these funds
will help stretch our donor dollars.”
The organization for the Taube
Museum of Art has been in operation since 1971. It has grown
tremendously over the years due to support from the North Dakota Council
of the Arts and community involvement. We are able to offer eight
children’s programs, approximately fifteen diversified artist
exhibitions each year, and a variety of fundraisers, including Artfest
and the Holiday Tour of Homes, as well as community awareness events
throughout the year.
The North Dakota Council on the Arts
is the state agency responsible for the support and development of the
arts throughout North Dakota, and is funded by the state legislature and
the National Endowment for the Arts.
