Rural Regenerator Fellowship Applications are open!

Springboard for the Arts is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2023-25 Rural Regenerator Fellowship!

Rural places need leaders who know the importance of creativity and culture in cultivating human-centered systems for rural community health, economic vitality, and civic engagement. Expanding on over a decade of rural programming, Springboard’s Rural Regenerator Fellowship supports these creative leaders in the Upper Midwest through unrestricted funding, and ongoing learning and exchange.

The Fellowship is open to individual artists, makers, and culture bearers, grassroots organizers, community development workers, public sector workers and other rural change makers who are committed to advancing the role of art, culture and creativity in rural development and community building. We are also thrilled to share that our we’ve added two new eligible states this year, Kansas and Nebraska!
