Institute taking applications

Springboard for the Arts and Racing Magpie announced that applications for the 2022 Creative Community Leadership Institute (CCLI) are open through Feb. 27 for applicants from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the 23 Native Nations that share that geography.

CCLI is an intensive and 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.

CCLI will have three regionally based cohorts in 2022. The East Cohort will be held in Cloquet at the Cloquet Forestry Center, with gatherings on June 16-19 and Oct. 13-16. Find out more here: https://www.creativecommunityinstitute.org.
