The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council has awarded Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company (MJTC) the MRAC Arts Achievement Award for 2010.
Now in just its second year, the MRAC Arts Achievement Award recognizes two arts organizations a year with budgets under $300,000 that make outstanding contributions toward strengthening communities in the 7-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. The winners are based on how an arts group illustrates MRAC's vision for the region by:· causing artists and arts activities to thrive, and/or
· integrating the arts into the social fabric and identity of a community(s), and/or
· enhancing understanding of the public value of the arts.This award is accompanied by a cash award of $5,000. The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council serves nonprofit arts groups in the seven-county (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington counties) metropolitan area with annualized operating expenses less than $300,000. As one of 11 regional Arts Councils in Minnesota, MRAC is largely funded by an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature and the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. MRAC also receives a generous grant from The McKnight Foundation.
