Program Costs:
This program costs $1,400/participant. We fundraise to make the costs approximately $300-500/participant.
This year, in response the current socio-political and economic climate, the pressures levied on the arts and humanities sectors, we have decided to made the program donation-based. 💜
Please apply knowing that staff will accommodate your needs at this time.
If you would like to make an investment to ensure we can present more nurturing programs like this, go to the CONTRIBUTE tab and send in a tax-deductible donation today!
We are grateful for the current support of individual donors, the Minnesota State Arts Board, the New Justice Project, and most recently the Headwaters Foundation for Justice.
