West End Fourish Background

Cloquet was selected for the 2020 cohort of the Artists on Main Street Program, a multi-year program that explores how the arts help address the challenges affecting Main Street communities today.

West End business owners and leaders will work with local artists and creatives to develop new approaches to community development.

OACC, RETHOS, and Springboard for the Arts will provide support on planning and implementing artist-led projects with training, one-on-one technical assistance, and cohort exchanges.
