The Extraordinary Artists of PRI

Thanks to a 2026 Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Education grant, artists learned textile arts culminating in the Interwoven Exhibit at the Altr Gallery in Minneapolis.

Thanks to a 2025 Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Education grant, PRI expanded arts access by hiring an Arts Instructor at the St. Louis Park day services location. Clients gained skills in printmaking, watercolor, drawing, collage, acrylics, and artist books. This culminated in an exhibit and sale at the Fresh Eye Gallery in Minneapolis.

Clients from St. Louis Park learned hand building and wheel throwing at Mudluk Pottery, culminating in an exhibit where they could sell their pieces

Thanks to an ARC Minnesota grant, clients who attend day services participated in a creative writing class with Cow Tipping Press where they learned to use creative expression as a vehicle for self-reflection and expression. This culminated in a public reading and book release event at Five Watt Coffee in Minneapolis.
