Kimble Bromley, professor of visual arts, has received a Spring Legacy Grant of $10,000 from the Lake Region Arts Council in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The funding will be used for supplies, framing and exhibiting his new work of paintings of Monet's gardens.

The Spring Legacy Grant program is open to individuals and arts organizations in the council’s nine-county region in Minnesota. It funds creation of new work, exhibitions and materials. Funding is made possible from an appropriation by the Minnesota legislature with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota in 2008.

Proceeds from the fund may be spent only on requests that support arts access, arts education or arts and cultural heritage. The fund is intended to create a strong arts legacy in Minnesota and will exist for a period of 25 years.

Bromley also received the Lake Region Arts Council 2021 Career Development Grant of $1,000. The grant will help purchase a digital camera for photographing his work, reproducing images for marketing purposes and taking photos of images to paint. This activity is funded by a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council with funding from the McKnight Foundation.

In addition, he is among four artists to have his new work included in an exhibition at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis. Bromley’s paintings of Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France, are on display until July 11.
