We are deeply grateful to the Central MN Arts Board and the voters of Minnesota for their generous support of the Avon Hills Folk School. Specifically, we want to thank them for the Organizational Development Grant, which has made it possible for us to engage a Program and Outreach Coordinator this year. The incredible growth we’ve experienced would not have been possible without this invaluable support. Thank you! This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Central MN Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
