We are excited to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Creative Community Leadership Institute (CCLI). CCLI is an intensive, in-person, cohort-based training program with real-world practice for artists, culture bearers, community organizers, community development practitioners, and other leaders seeking to deepen their impact in creative community building.

In 2020, CCLI will host three cohorts: one each in St. Cloud, MN; Fargo, ND; and Rapid City, SD. Cohorts will meet in person three times over five months from spring to fall. This year, the Rapid City, SD cohort will center Native nations and be limited to enrolled tribal members and non-Native participants who live or work directly in Native communities.

This program is free for participants. Some travel/accommodation reimbursement is available.

Applications for all three cohorts are due Monday, March 9, 2020. Visit the CCLI website for more information, funding, and applications.

CCLI is co-led by Plains Art Museum (Fargo, ND), Racing Magpie (Rapid City, SD), and Springboard for the Arts (St. Paul and Fergus Falls, MN). CCLI is made possible through generous support from the Bush Foundation.
