Sinclair Lewis Foundation

About Us

Sinclair Lewis Foundation Benefits from a Community Arts Support Grant
The SLF currently receives funds from the Central Minnesota Arts Board through a two-year Community Arts Support Grant. These funds apply not only to our arts initiatives (The Sinclair Lewis Writers Conference, the play The Life and Loves of Sinclair Lewis, and the Sinclair Lewis Creative Writing Curriculum), but also to some of the Foundation's operation expenses. These funds are critical to our success as an arts organization.

This organization is funded, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Central Minnesota Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

The Sinclair Lewis Writers Conference is October 3, 2026
