Autumn Season of Community Supported Art Program
Springboard for the Arts and mnartists.org
Announce open sales on the Autumn Season of the popular
Community Supported Art (CSA) program!
September 30, 2010 (Saint Paul, MN)…..Springboard for the Arts and mnartists.org are pleased to announce the featured artists for the second season of Community Supported Art (CSA) and will begin selling member shares to this innovative program on Monday, October 4, 2010. We are pleased to announce we have doubled the number of shares available to 100 and doubled the number of artists/collaborations to 18!
What is Community Supported Art? Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy seasonal food directly from local farms. With the same buy-local spirit in mind, mnartists.org and Springboard for the Arts are joining forces for a similar endeavor to support local art, artists and collectors.
The fall CSA artists were selected by representatives from Springboard and mnartists.org, as well as two artists with family ties to farming. Karl Unnasch, a featured visual artist from the summer CSA program, works from a studio on his parent’s farm near
CSA reviewed over 100 projects and selected 18 Featured CSA Artists/Collaborations:

The selected artists will receive a commission to assist in the production of new work to be distributed through the CSA program. Interested consumers/collectors can purchase a share from Springboard for the Arts and in return receive 2 “farm boxes” of locally produced artwork at two fall pick up events. Each share will included at total of 9 original works for the season (4 at the first event and 5 at the second). Each share will contain a carefully curated mix of mediums, disciplines, value and concepts…as well as a few surprises, just like a garden farm box. One of the intents of the program is finding familiar names and forms mixed with new and unexpected pieces in each share. Featured works could include anything from a pressing of a vinyl 7” record, a small run of screen-prints, or functional porcelain dishware, to limited-edition photographs, tickets to shareholder-only performances, or letterpress editions of a poem or short story. Each member share will also include “bumper crop” of additional artwork and arts opportunities. The pick-up events will be at local art and food sites, and will give shareholders the opportunity to meet the artists individually, as well as enjoy food and music from local luminaries.
Member shares cost $300 for the three-month season and can be purchased on our website, springboardforthearts.org, or by contacting Andy Sturdevant at 651-292-4381 or info@springboardforthearts.org. Sales of member shares begin on Monday, September 27, 2010 and will sell out fast.
The goals of the CSA program are to support artists and to create an engaged community of local arts supporters. CSA supports artists: in the creation of new work, to establish relationships with local collectors and patrons, and to participate in the launch of an exciting new model of art support and distribution. CSA Share member benefits include multiple works of art from local emerging and mid-career artists at a fantastic value! Additionally, CSA Share members have the opportunity to develop relationships with the local artists and art community, discover new artists, explore a variety of disciplines and support artists’ careers and a vibrant community. Our CSA model is being replicated in communities all over the country. Our last season was featured on Minnesota Public Radio and PBS’s NewsHour, and both Minnesota Monthly and METRO magazines selected the program as a year-end “Best Of”.
