The Extraordinary Artists of PRI

Thanks to a 2025 Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Education grant, PRI held three art events this year.

Minnesota State Arts Board & Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment logos and statement: This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Fresh Eye Exhibit

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

Cow Tipping Press

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.
