The Council makes policy decisions and develops the plan for the regional arts program. Terms of office for Council Members are three years with a maximum of three terms. Monthly meetings are held virtually due to COVID-19. Meetings are all open to the public according to the provisions of the Minnesota Open Meeting Law.
