SASE Jerome Grants for Emerging Minnesota Writers

SASE Jerome Grants for Writers

Intermedia Arts’ annual SASE/Jerome grant program awards grants of up to $5,000 to emerging Minnesota writers. We define an emerging writer as a writer whose work demonstrates a sustained level of accomplishment and commitment, but who has not yet received recognition/ acknowledgement as an established creator from fellow writers and/or other arts professionals.

The Creative Community Leadership Institute

The Creative Community Leadership Institute is a learning network of pioneering leaders in community development and the arts. We believe that the future health of communities demands innovative, cross-sector leadership at every level. To foster this leadership, The Creative Community Leadership Institute provides comprehensive, professional-level training and support for community-engaged artists, organizers, educators, administrators and developers.

VERVE Grants for Spoken Word Poets

The VERVE grant program is designed for emerging artists who are ready to achieve their next level of artistic success, and who are interested in developing their abilities to become artistic leaders in their communities.

Give and Take

We're excited to introduce Give & Take, a new monthly event series produced by Works Progress and co-presented with Intermedia Arts. Built on a new model for engaging curious people and fostering stronger community links, Give & Take will disrupt the traditional dynamic of short-presentation events where "experts" speak to an audience of "lay-people" about topics selected by event producers.
