Awards and Honors
Minnesota State Arts Board
We are thankful to have been awarded artist grants over the years from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
We are excited to share that:
Maine Prairie Studio is a fiscal year 2026 recipient of a Arts Education grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
Sringboard for the Arts
We are honored to announce that we have received fiscal sponsorship from Springboard for the Arts through Incubator, their Fiscal Sponsorship Program. Being a fiscally sponsored project means that we can receive tax-deductible grants, donations, in-kind donations and matching donations.
Many of you already support us in a wide variety of ways; we are so grateful for the ongoing support we have received from family, friends, students and patrons. We hope that you will consider making a tax deductible donation at this time to help with the next step in our journey.
Maine Prairie Studio is a sponsored project of Springboard for the Arts, a nonprofit arts service organization. Contributions on behalf of Maine Prairie Studio may be made payable to Springboard for the Arts and are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
We also accept In-Kind and Matching donations. Please consider making a tax deductible In-Kind donation or a Matching donation to Maine Prairie Studio. We are particularly in need of more wheels, but we also would welcome clay, tools, bats or other ceramics studio materials or equipment. Please contact us by email or phone with any questions you may have about our studio or making an In-Kind donation or Matching donation.
Central Minnesota Arts Board
I am thankful to have been awarded a FY26 Artist Career Development Grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board. This grant will help to assist me with making, firing and exhibiting a new body of work that focuses on two and three dimensional work. A public exhibition will showcase the pieces made during the grant period. -JD Jorgenson
