The concert will include three versions of Northern Lights, by Harry Somers, Ola Gjeilo and Erik Esenvolds. Other musical highlights will include “Dark Night of the Soul""ť by Gjeilo with string quartet, piano and soprano soloist and Edward Elgar's “Lux Aeterna""ť based on his Enigma Variations. Selection of Sacred Heart Music Center as a venue for this concert uses the fabulous acoustics to assist in portraying the beauty of the Northern Lights. Photographic displays by local artists capturing the beauty and wonder of the Aurora Borealis will set the mood for the concert. The Arrowhead Chorale will evaluate the setting's effect on the music, the response of the audience to the art exhibit and concert combined, and the singer and performer satisfaction with the concert repertoire and performance. The Board will hold a meeting within the month following the concert to focus on the finances of the event, performance satisfaction, the collaboration with area artists, and the feedback from an audience survey and a singer survey. All information gathered will be used to assist in future planning, collaborations with other area organizations and individuals, and continued relationships with area instrumentalists and soloists.","Goals: 1. Offering beautiful new choral repertoire to the audience and performers The choir of 28 singers offered an hour and a half of beautiful music focused on the concepts of the northern lights, light and dark, of love made visible in the universe, and of stars as symbols of hope and joy. The selections were enjoyed by both singers and audience members. 2. Creating an opportunity for local visual artists to collaborate in an exhibit/performance. A competition was held and three local photographers were chosen to exhibit at the concert. Their work was projected onto a large screen behind the choir as it sang, giving a visual emphasis to the music. This enriched the artistic experience for the audience. 3. Presenting 2 events that would enhance the understanding of the northern lights, both for audience and performers/artists. 2 concerts were held at Sacred Heart Music Center, with soloist, instrumentalists, and choir. Prior to Saturday's concert, local astronomy expert ""Astro Bob"" (Bob King) addressed the science behind the northern lights, which added an additional layer of enjoyment and understanding for the audience. 4. Including audience members from the visual arts community to this joint venture/performance. Friends and family members of the local artists involved, who would not typically attend Arrowhead Chorale concerts, attended the concert and enjoyed the collaboration of visual arts and music.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",8079,"Other,local or private",11665,3422,"Susan Masterson, Mary Pat Renaud, Rod Dahlquist, Rick Sailstad, Sam Black, Nathan Winesett, Kim Keuning Business Manager: Olivia Buncher (through July 2018), Sara Baldwin (beginning July 2018)",,"Arrowhead Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"Aurora Musicalis: Music of the Cosmos",2018-03-11,2018-07-14,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Susan,Masterson,"Arrowhead Chorale","506 Michigan St W",Duluth,MN,55802,"(218) 733-7521 ",arrowheadchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Carlton",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-118,"Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center.","Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, Drew Digby (218) 722-0952 ",1

We will offer free workshops prior to the event, both in a visible public location and in area schools. We wish for the workshops and parade to be creative parties, both lighthearted and humorous.

Additionally, we expect to attract another couple of hundred spectators. Our parade is intrinsically a community event. People will come if they enjoy themselves. We make it easy for people to participate at their own level. We have worked with girl scouts making crowns and rod puppets, dads on stilts, and grandmas sewing costumes. We will continue to recruit citizens of all ages.","This was our 7th annual Smelt Run Parade. We presented parade workshops at the Aquarium and the West Duluth Library, before getting started at our primary location at the Duluth Art Institute Lincoln Center in Lincoln Park on April 28. We recruited approximately 60 masqueraders and puppeteers at the workshops. Some were repeat participants, and many were newcomers. In addition, anyone and everyone is invited to dress up in silver. Year after year, more and more individuals and families are creating costumes at home. The Duluth News Tribune (front page. May 14. see attachments) included an an interview with a Duluth mom who explained that her family has a bin in the basement for smelt costumes, right next to their Christmas bin!

We will also ask respondents to share further actions they may take as a result of the event.

Results: We drew speakers and audience members from a broad array of organizations, congregations, and socio-economic backgrounds to our event, including members of Veterans for Peace, the St. Scholastica Monastery, the Duluth Branch of the NAACP, Temple Israel, Peace United Church of Christ, and our sponsoring organizations (AICHO, Community Action Duluth, CHUM, Zeitgeist, the City of Duluth, and Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light). While the artists and speakers of the event were a culturally-diverse group of people (Native American, African American, and White), and our audience included members of all groups just mentioned, our attendance was smaller and less diverse than we had hoped, perhaps in part because of our weather-related rescheduling and the fact that we had to relocate from St. Scholastica to Peace United Church of Christ. Outcome 2: Inspiring future connections, conversations, and creative partnerships that continue to build toward a just, respectful, and sustainable future for our community. Results: A truly unique and inspiring set of connections, conversations, and creative partnerships were forged through this work. A small creative team of artists helped formulate the questions posed to our speakers for the event, so that these questions informed both the discussion and the performance in meaningful ways. As a result, artistic performance was interwoven with discussion, and the performances provided profound commentary. Several speakers noted how moved they were by the synergy, and the artists repeatedly expressed their wishes to revisit the collaboration for the purposes of performing together again through this framework.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",5412,"Other,local or private",7980,,"Marianne Allen, Deborah Amberg, Steve Burgess, Bryan Chavez, Daniel Clay, Ed Crawford, Mary Dewitt, Christopher Dolan, Jessica Durbin, Colette Geary, David Herman, Mat Johnson, Gretchen Johnston, Beth Haenke, Melanie Mogg, Vincent Ohaju, Michael O’Keefe,",,"The College of Saint Scholastica","Private College/University","Art Project Grant",,"HARMONY: Environmental Justice, Community, and the Power of Art.",2018-04-02,2018-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Colette,Geary,"The College of Saint Scholastica","1200 Kenwood Ave ",Duluth,MN,55811,"(218) 723-6000 ",aabrahamson@css.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-143,"Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2

This will raise the quality of our actors' skills, making our pool more versatile. Designers will have an opportunity to set visuals and music into two competing formats; Chicago, jolly, 1920s and Germany, dark, 1930s and to learn what works, making them better designers. Audiences will get a novel and enriching experience, seeing a broadly-acted, funny, gangster show, learning its parallel to the rise of Nazism in Germany, seeing the impact costumes can have on productions, appreciating new acting styles. The Board will continue to embrace edgy play choices artistically and financially. Measuring acting growth is subjective, but the Players will attempt it using criteria of extended physical fluidity and versatility, greater vocal variety and improved timing. We always do an after action discussion with designers and crews to get their evaluations of the production's outcomes. For this show we'll also ask that a questionnaire be returned to the producer. At our regular Q and As, we'll ask pointed raise-your-hands questions about the audience's reaction to the play as parable, the effect of costumes and acting style, and are they likely to attend more edgy plays. Our Board reviews the play's impact artistically and financially. We measure audience size, attendees' zipcodes, profit/loss.","Many of the outcomes are only measurable subjectively, so the director used the opinions of several knowledgeable theatre people in the crews and from the audience, as well as her own; written surveys, and pointed audience responses to questions asked after three of the shows. Later, we all heard more specifics from people on the street in our small town. ACTORS: Wearing the exaggerated period costumes, most expanded their broad, physical acting style. They worked at it before the costumes arrived, but flourished once they were comfortable in them and saw what they looked like in them. DESIGNERS: Two of the ""designers"" (set and music director) had their visions fulfilled fairly well, as a result of knowing what the costumed look of the show would be. Certainly they grew in their art by seeing what worked and what did not as set pieces were built and incidental music and songs were integrated into the show. AUDIENCES: Some told us outright that the broad acting style took a few minutes to get used to, but then they appreciated that the ""clowning"", as one person called it, really fit to make the Fascists look foolish. There was no question about the power of the final moment, when the Ui/Hitler character does the Nazi salute, and the rest of the cast of 17 shouts, ""Heil."" It looked like 1930s Chicago/Germany. The house was silent for five long seconds before the blackout. We said that audiences would continue to appreciate our ""edgy"" plays, and they raised their hands to say they would. BOARD: They too stand and behind and support well-produced ""edgy"" plays for our community theatre group. And most objectively: Our audiences grew in size for each dress rehearsal and performance. After bills were paid, we had $1,200 to add to the match for our next production's grant application. And while we were, unfortunately, unable to get volunteers to capture zip codes, everyone working on the show (especially front of house), said that lots of new people attended.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",6131,"Other,local or private",8283,300,"Marcie Lindgren, Patricia Feld, Karen Ferlaak, Sandra LeBlanc-Boland, Kathy Champoux, John Hanson, Kim Powell, Dan King, Lynn Nachbar, Paul Kraska, Larry Salmela",,"Edge Center for the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"Costume rental for a production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.

Other stops along the parade route included Endion Station and the atrium at Gichi-Ode Akiing (Lake Place Park). Throughout the event, the Brass Messengers Brass Band provided lively dance music. The parade concluded with a smelt fry and party at Zeitgeist Arts Cafe. Magic Smelt presented a history of smelt cranky show, ""El Mundo"", and a new, short, animated film, ""Devil Boy"", in the theater.

A seasoned actor, Raeanne Conat, will advance her dramatic skills by serving as a first-time director. New cast and crew members will be reached by advertising auditions in programs of our spring performances, social media, and recruiting rock-and-roll musicians, a change from previously used orchestra members. We will utilize box office income to determine if we increased attendance over previous productions. An audience survey and social media responses will gage satisfaction levels, quality of performance, and if we reached the desired age range. A participant survey will be distributed to all cast and crew to solicit response on their experience in the production and if they felt their skill level had an opportunity to expand and grow. Success in this area will also be measured by the number of new members gained, and those that return for our two spring 2019 performances. In addition, the production team, with focus on Ms. Conat and the new musicians, will be interviewed for their feedback.","Box office income measured whether or not attendance increased over previous productions. Income and ticket sales reflected a similar attendance level to the last full-length play (Anne of Green Gables) but a slight decrease from last year’s fall musical. We believe this decrease is due to the selection of production. Several troupe members commented they were not interested in performing in a ‘dark comedy’ and did not care for the storyline. We suspect previous audience members held the same opinion and chose not to attend this performance. A survey inserted in each play program measured the satisfaction levels of attendees. Eleven percent of audience members responded. All but three respondents commented on the high level of quality of the production. Comments from the other three included disappointment in the use of swear words and the level of violence within the script. Social media posts reflected a 100% satisfaction rate of the production. 29% of returned surveys identified themselves in the targeted age-range of 30-50. Five of these respondents attended their first Borealis Bards performance. The theatre troupe is very satisfied with this outcome. A post production cast and crew survey identified the development of several new skills. The lead actress shared the challenge she faced in developing an acceptable Brooklyn accent and maintaining that accent throughout the entire musical. Her goal was to use her own voice while staying true to the character’s stereotype. She felt it was a very large challenge she hadn’t faced performing roles in the past. Other new skills developed by cast and crew included increasing stage confidence, addressing time and stress management, and performing in the aisle.

Over the long term, we will note and record whether or not writers who have attended felt that their vision of publishing a book was advanced.” - We noted 8-10 positive comments and no negative comments on the part of attendees regarding the event. - Two of the artists expressed their gratitude and that they had a positive and fun experience. - We have no data at this time on the other possible outcome mentioned; our feedback is primarily qualitative: attendees were enthused and inspired by the readings. The event is an important and positive way to honor writers and the artistic process. “To measure outcomes of Goal 2 (awareness of LSW's benefits), we will document comments and note new and renewed memberships following the event.” - We supplied at least two attendees with membership information at the event. - We met our goal to be visible, along with ARAC, as hosts/sponsors of the event. - We cannot associate new memberships or renewals directly to this event, but our number of members and renewals grew during the period of the event. The event provides good visibility for both LSW and for ARAC. “To measure outcomes of Goal 3 (hold an event that celebrates published writers), we will document attendance as well as both immediate and longer-term comments. One outcome of the event could be an annual reading of published works by LSW members.” - About 35 people attended the event. - This is our most qualitative area of measurement, though later in this report we advocate for more opportunities for prose readings sponsored by LSW, based partly on the enthusiasm attendees demonstrated and described at the event.

We want to show off the dazzling quality of the Felgemaker organ housed in the Music Center, and present one of the world’s premier organists, in a multimedia performance which will expose many new audience members to this fine instrument—people who would likely never come to an organ concert. Next, we want to begin collaborations with other media and other presenting organizations, and this venture into film and music will open new opportunities for this intention. Measurable outcomes include new audiences and new programming. We plan to distribute a questionnaire to audience members to determine whether they have come to Sacred Heart before, if they have heard original organ music before, and if they enjoyed the experience. We also plan to offer a discussion-and-snacks reception after the film, so that we can learn how audiences related to both the film and the music, and so audience members can learn about film history (this will be hosted by a film-studies scholar such as Richard Hansen, who directs the Duluth Superior Film Festival). These two methods of feedback-- written, and through direct conversation-- should give us an idea of the effectiveness of this new type of programming. ","This project was a total success. Attendance was outstanding, a feeling of excitement prior to the film was palpable, there was lots of laughter during the film, and the audience immediately got to their feet to give Aaron David Miller a standing ovation at the end of the film. In addition, a wonderful discussion with Dr. Miller was held after the film with virtually everyone staying until the end of the question-and-answer time.

Duluth Superior Film Festival looks to present films produced from the Arrowhead region and from around the world, engage with cultures unlike our own and to revisit cultures from which audiences have been previously disconnected. Duluth Superior Film Festival's measurable outcomes are to increase attendance at all events, provide greater access to larger audience, gain higher profile press coverage, help encourage/increase local film productions and create year-round financial stability. The Duluth Superior Film Festival will measure outcomes through the use of audience surveys, track attendance at festival screenings, log press and promotional coverage, cultivate new audience through cross collaborations with other arts organizations, and increase fundraising through grant and sponsorship opportunities. Evaluation will also occur with the number of film productions that come to the Arrowhead Region. Duluth Superior Film Festival will continue to work closely with partner organizations such as Independent Filmmaker Project-Minnesota, The Minnesota Film and Television Board, and the Upper Minnesota Film Office to monitor this activity and to channel these productions to exhibition at the Duluth Superior Film Festival and Zinema venues.","The 2015 Duluth Superior Film Festival feels it has achieved its short range outcome of raising awareness of these types of cinema events through press and promotion, remaining financially sound, and energizing arts in the region by presenting unique cinema experiences. We also feel we achieved the long range outcome of expanding the regional artistic community by producing a quality, entertaining, and thought provoking film festival and ongoing cinema exhibition. In doing this, we have raised the profile of films produced regionally. Duluth Superior Film Festival can measure this by pointing to the fact that their presence has been recognized as a significant contributing factor to an increased number of film productions in our region as an example of an initial long range outcome that is currently coming to fruition. Regional producers are seeing that there is a quality outlet for exhibition in the form of a well-run film festival and art house cinema. This is attractive to filmmakers for a multitude of reasons, but most significantly because it is obvious that an appreciative cinema culture exists in the Arrowhead Region and is being nurtured by Duluth Superior Film Festival.

Facilitate verbal/interview-style evaluation with participating artists. 4. Track numbers of attendees to community outreach events and exhibitions. 5. Increase number of residency applicant. 6. Increase interest in Grand Marais Art Colony services including studio access. 7. Increase number of members.","Measurable outcomes and evaluation: 1. Grand Marais Art Colony provided five artists with space to expand artistic skills. 2. Outcomes of Grand Marais Art Colony's strategic planning goals: a) include more opportunities for advanced artists. All residents were advanced artists and eight first-time studio artists chose to do an independent residency; b) Grand Marais Art Colony's reputation as an organization that supports artistic exploration is steadily expanding. While seeing the trajectory of this goal will take time, verbal feedback from residency event participants suggested there was a diverse and experimental nature to the artist's process. Grand Marais Art Colony's reputation for hosting a quality residency is growing as applicants are now coming from beyond Minnesota. c) Grand Marais Art Colony has created a successful programmatic model for the late winter season as artists continue to apply and come. 2. Written evaluations rated factors out of a possible 4. Communication with Grand Marais Art Colony staff rated 4, as did Grand Marais Art Colony’s welcoming atmosphere, accommodations, preparedness of the studios and the overall experience. The open studios and engagement projects were rated at a 3 by two artists, allowing Grand Marais Art Colony to reconsider how they can be improved upon. 3. Through verbal evaluations Grand Marais Art Colony learned that having a contemporary art gallery nearby is a huge draw for contemporary artists looking for residency experiences. Grand Marais Art Colony also learned that its residency is most geared toward artists with some residency background as it is highly self-defined. 4. Grand Marais Art Colony hosted a total of 75 participants to community engagement projects. Through Grand Marais Art Colony’s e-newsletter and two radio interviews approximately 1,470 people had access to the artists. 5. Grand Marais Art Colony doubled the number of applicants from 2015 to 2016 with the hope to double that number again in 2017. 6. Studio access increased 47% as it went from 17 artists in 2015 to 25 in 2016. 7. Seven artists became first-time members as a result of Grand Marais Art Colony's residency series.",,10550,"Other, local or private",13900,3350,"Sally Berg, Lynn Speaker, David Quick, Clare Shaw, Hazel Belvo, Mike Carlson, Howard Hedstrom, Marcia Hyatt, John Franz, Ann Possis, Jolita Rysdahl",0.00,"Grand Marais Arts, Inc.

Audience members asked a number of thoughtful questions and received excellent and appreciative responses. A total of 150 audience members, both local and regional, attended the three readings.

The long range outcome is to expand the regional artistic community by producing a quality, entertaining, and thought provoking film festival, provide organizational growth and raise the profile of films produced regionally. The Duluth Superior Film Festival will continue to use the measurement outcome tools of: audience surveys, attendance tracking at festival screenings, press and promotional coverage logging, new audience cultivation through cross collaborations with other arts organizations, profile raising of films produced regionally, fundraising increases through grant and sponsorship opportunities. Duluth Superior Film Festival culls incredibly valuable information from use of these tools. Surveys give us feedback regarding audience enjoyment levels which gives insight to whether we are attaining our goal of providing quality, entertaining and thought provoking cinema events.","The 2016 The Duluth Superior Film Festival created new opportunities for audience access to filmmakers, artists, and art in a previously under-served cultural canon. The festival also presented films produced from the Arrowhead region and from around the world, engaged with cultures unlike our own and to revisited cultures from which audiences have been previously disconnected. The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival achieved its stated outcomes to increase attendance at all events, provide greater access to larger audience, gain higher profile press coverage, and create year-round financial stability. Quantitative proof of these statements through measurement of a 20% attendance increase from 2015 proving increased attendance, the provision of priority access seating to approximately 120 members of Native American community via partnership with the American Indian Community Housing Organization, realized increased publicity and press profile on a regional, state and national level, and accounting practices which demonstrate that Duluth Superior Film Festival remains debt free and has applied for 501c3 status. Quantitative proof is evidenced through an exceptionally high ballot survey return rate of 40% with overall score of enjoyment at 3.78 out of 4. This is also proven with the significant accomplishment of obtaining the Minnesota premiere screenings of two of the highest profile film productions the state has seen in years. These screenings took place in Cook’s The Comet Theater, thereby also increasing Duluth Superior Film Festival’s profile in the Iron Range area. This qualitative analysis of the festival and Duluth Superior Film Festival's significant accomplishments has now given the festival the reputation with visitors, filmmakers, producers and industry professionals as the state’s best film festival.",,20663,"Other, local or private",24013,,"Richard Hansen, Riki McManus, Ryan Kern, Dan Schneidkraut, Trey Wodele",0.00,"The Duluth Superior Film Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival",2016-04-29,2016-08-08,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Richard,Hansen,"Duluth Superior Film Festival","1734 Columbus Ave",Duluth,MN,55803,"(612) 227-8015 ",richard@ds-ff.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Koochiching, Itasca, Aitkin, Carlton, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-119,"Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of the Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2

We wish to coordinate a fanciful procession including hundreds of local citizens, to accompany our giant Smelt Queen puppet on the Lakewalk. This will be a visual and musical spectacle, celebrating the extraordinary phenomenon of the smelt run. We will offer free workshops prior to the event, both in a downtown location and in area schools. We wish for the workshops and parade to be creative parties, both lighthearted and humorous. The key to our success will be to engage students, families, and a diverse community of volunteer participants. We intend to recruit perhaps 100 costumed and masked performers and puppeteers. Additionally, we expect to attract another couple of hundred spectators. Our parade is intrinsically a community event. People will come if they enjoy themselves. We make it easy for people to participate at their own level. We have worked with girl scouts making crowns and rod puppets, dads on stilts, and grandmas sewing costumes. We will continue to recruit citizens of all ages.","This was our 6th annual Smelt Run Parade. We presented our parade workshops at the Duluth Art Institute Lincoln Center in Lincoln Park, beginning April 29. The first workshop session was offered as part of a Duluth Art Institute Family Day event. This was a strong start for the next two weeks of parade preparations (see attached flyer). We recruited approximately 40 performers at the workshops. These included masqueraders, stilt walkers, and puppeteers. In addition, anyone and everyone is invited to dress up in silver clothing and accessories. Increasingly, year after year, more and more individuals and families are creating costumes at home. It is a thrill to see so many smelt party lovers dressed for the occasion. We also have a connection at Laura MacArthur elementary school, in West Duluth, where students prepared silver smelt puppets. Parade day, May 14, was very windy. Nonetheless, approximately 300 joined our procession on the Lakewalk. Despite the adverse conditions, the Brass Messengers, all of our stilt walkers and our featured puppet, the 15' long Smelt Queen, managed to lead the parade. Certainly, the challenge of persevering in difficult weather strengthens a sense of camaraderie. There are several partners and sponsors whose support helped make this year's event a success. These include the Park Point Community Club, the Army Corps of Engineers, Duluth Parks and Recreation, Zeitgeist Arts Café, the Duluth Grill and OMC Smokehouse, Bent Paddle, Whole Foods Co-op, the Red Herring, Global Village, Endion Station and Third Street Bakery. As intended, our final event was a visual and musical spectacle, celebrating the extraordinary phenomenon of the annual smelt run.

The execution of these four concrete goals will determine if this project proposal is successful. These goals are structured around a five-month residency opportunity at Kunstverein Letschebach in Karlsruhe, Germany. While there, I will do research at ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, work on my film projects at BURSTSCRATCH in Strasbourg, and create new projects in the German Black Forest. These goals are intended for me to diversify the scope of my Fellowship, so that I am encouraged to seek out different activities and adjust my routine and practices. While they should be reasonable and attainable, I also expect to excel in one area. Perhaps, work begun with the idea of a short film could lead to a feature film, or work begun as a poem could lead to a novel or series, as examples.

There is an opportunity through music and visual arts to capture the hearts and imaginations of those who may not completely understand generational trauma and what the boarding schools did to our parents and grandparents. We have an opportunity to legitimize our descendants so that they are recognized as full enrolled members of their tribe to help them identify themselves as community members. It has been difficult for many descendants to gain a voice in the tribe and they feel like they are on the outside looking in at times. I would like to create a looking glass that allows us all to see each other as brethren. Reaching the goal of 1,000 individual people though social media outlets will be a particularly good point of success. If I can reach that many people before the June 2022 vote for the MCT we have a chance at making the Blood Quantum change happen soon for all our tribal members. I will also consider the project a success if I am able to continue musically with the concept and expand on the ideas and visions throughout native regions. The monetization for the project can be achieved through subscriber-based purchases of merchandise and content. The tribal symbols created for the guitar sheath can be replicated as marketing items that have a logo-based message.

Attending workshops will help me in the process of developing my artistic skill and voice. The purchase of new tools and a camera will make it easier for me to do my work well, and document it properly.","Throughout this project, I spent the designated amount of time per month working on improving my skill set. Through repetition, skill building exercises, and having focused time set aside, I was able to create 8 new pieces to become a part of my portfolio that show the best aspects of my work. This year I have also created a website for myself, which features my new portfolio pieces, as well as events and classes that I will be holding. Because of having this designated time to work, I have been able to create my best work yet, and have developed an increased level of professionalism as an artist through creating a website. As part of this project, I also purchased necessary tools and materials for continuing my work. I also attended the Willow Gathering in Decorah, Iowa for 7 days where I took classes from world renowned basketmakers. At this event, was shocked by how much I was able to learn both in class, and through spending time with other weavers. This was an amazing opportunity to take more advanced classes and connect with the basketry community from around the world.

First, we will ask all participants to complete brief final surveys which will include questions such as: Did this project enhance your understanding of mural painting and/or art in general? Based on this experience, are you more interested in public art? What was your favorite part of the project? Will this experience encourage you to participate in future community art projects? Additionally, Teaching Artists and Harbor City International School's Art Director will observe learning that occurs through the project and student engagement with the interactive portions. Documentary interviews conducted by a videographer will serve as a third way to assess these outcomes.","Overall, this project aimed to engage community members and students from Harbor City International School (HCIS) and The College of St. Scholastica (CSS) in one or more stages of the community art mural.

To artistically embrace and expound ideas of metamorphosis (changing form) to connect concepts of season turn, natural life cycles, transformations, and restoration of our environment. To create greater accessibility to, participation in, and awareness of sustainable art making and artistic exhibits with responsible, economic and creative reuse/repurpose of materials. To demonstrate art as an effective learning tool for learning and integrating beauty, science, culture, geography and history for all ages and backgrounds, especially in West Duluth. To have fun! Photographs and video footage will visually document the interactive creative fun and learning. Children's art will be publicly displayed along with their comments (with permission) at the museum and also in the Downtown Depot starting November 1st for Duluth All Souls Night, November 6th. Adult feedback can be easily posted on related Facebook pages and websites. Exit surveys and comment cards will be available onsite and online. The museum as always accurately tracks demographics and attendance numbers. We will see visibly more milkweed, butterflies and awareness as a result of community connections made between children and monarch artists and educators.","The Duluth Children's Museum and I successfully cultivated creativity and deepened knowledge of the arts for children, youth, and adults by engaging them in arts experiences and activities with clearly articulated learning objectives. These included learning about the arts, learning about life through the arts, and learning about the role the arts play in most aspects of daily life. Activities presented participants with opportunities to experience and learn about art through direct contact with an artist, by public performance/presentations, and taking part in other arts learning appropriate activities. Rob Hadaway, Creative Director, told me the museum staff and board recognizes the success of this inaugural project and intends to continue working with artist partners in the Duluth community.

Our short-term desired outcome for this year's event is to provide resophonic guitarists a truly exceptional learning experience from a Dobro master who is as skilled a teacher as he is a performer. North Shore Music Association will measure and evaluate the outcomes of this project by assessing surveys we've handed out to workshop students, jamming participants, audience members, and instructors. We will also keep a keen ear to verbal feedback both during and after the weekend. We will listen to what participants wanted and got from their instructor, and what the instructor expected and got from his students, as we find these two forms of feedback equally valuable.","Our workshop participant surveys measured our short-term outcome. 17 resophonic guitar workshop students signed up to learn from Mike Witcher. This was a good turnout, and student feedback was positive and enthusiastic across the board. Verbal feedback from instructor Mike Witcher told us that he also really enjoyed the experience -- that he appreciated that this group of students came ready and eager to learn, were focused on his instruction (both group and individual), and worked well together as a group.

My first love is free creation. However, my ""free creations"" such as Rainbow Warrior costumes and hats (see work samples) are not ""quick"" sales, if at all. They add depth to my artistic expression and I will continue to play with costumes and large wall works. Adding screen printing to the mix will allow me to produce small series of functional work for consumers to purchase.

My desire to acquire a deeper understanding of watercolor painting techniques has been a hurdle for me due to time constraints for practice and money to seek professional instruction. With this grant I will attend a 5 day watercolor painting workshop taught by Tara Sweeney. By taking this workshop I will expand my watercolor skills by demonstrating subjects that move in the natural world. In the class I will plan compositions, be taught about values and color; and build confidence and control off the watercolor medium. I will practice with professional tools to master them as well as the techniques taught in class. After my class I will take time to work on the techniques and incorporate them into my work. I will work to develop my new skills and then I will demonstrate in a solo show at Art and Soul gallery in early winter (TBD). I paint watercolor and in acrylic and though I have skills in both mediums I have taken few formal classes which concentrate on either. Often I find myself without the resources and time to really concentrate improving my painting skills. By taking this time to participate in a 5 day class in watercolor,""Figures in the Landscape"", taught by Tara Sweeney, I will be taking steps to achieve the goals of allowing myself the time to practice to become a better painter. With the professional supplies needed for the class and for the work produced after the class, I will have better painting results. After this five day class, I will be more confident in my watercolor work and will be inspired to use my better understanding of composition and specifically movement in my future work.

By December 2018, I will have a complete body of work that I will submit for the following year's regional galleries exhibition season, as well as present my work at local cultural dances, feasts, and schools, and residency programs throughout the process by means of being in the communities I am impacting through my harvest territory. I intend to collect my instructors and cultural leaders' progressive reviews of my work which I will submit in my final evaluation plan and as a part of exhibition opportunities to demonstrate my commitment to cultural protocol in my personal creative practice.

This grant would help me to afford to paint new work and prepare my display area for hanging art. The previous year (2017) I was a guest artist and shared a space with two other artist, at one of the artist's residence. This year I have the opportunity to display my work at my own residence (in my pole barn), but I need to prepare it for visual and safety reasons. This is considered a major local art showing, premiering artists of the North Shore area at their residence and having some guest artists from outside areas. Last year I wasn't registered early enough to be mentioned on the brochure. One month after, I will have another showing at the Cedar Coffee Co. of Two Harbors for the months of November and December. They have become known in the area as major arts supporting venue and have featured artists of substantial quality. Both the 20/20 Tour and the Cedar Coffee Company are open to the public, I would welcome them to sign a guest book with feedback and keep a log, as I can, myself. I have a sense of quality of my own art and want to be able to have the time to create more new work for these shows of this quality and better. The grant would allow me to take the time in research and execution new work. I want to be able to establish my direction, style and continuity. Since going back to painting last year, in the last 6 months I've wanted to further explore a direction of painting that I've done in the past, but didn't pursue. I want to continue with this style that I'm excited about and as the weather gets more reasonable to apply this style in my plein air work. The grant would allow me to work in the earliest part of July to concentrate on working directly outdoors and representing the North Shore area. I want to collect information directly and then apply my line technique. This body of work would show the extent of my style that will be displayed during these showing and will help to create more opportunities to display my work. This will help immensely to establish my career as an artist locally again.","I was able to achieve acquire new venues for displaying my artwork.

I hope for the audience to find correlations from inspiration I gather during my trip to Finland, bringing a rich understanding of modern Nordic aesthetic to The Nordic Center in Duluth. I will be visiting the Marimekko Textile factory whose designs have been a muse for me since I was a teenager. I believe that this visit will be pivotal for new concepts within my textiles and outreach for all who view the exhibition. For the exhibition to be well attended, for the work to speak to the participants/attendees, for me to have an understanding of the animation process and how to transform my work within this technology will be exciting. I will be creating hand stenciled wall-hangings that will greet the viewers. At the same time, they will see the work transformed by projections on the ceiling and the back wall. This will bring the work to life in a sense with animation from the originally works at the start of the exhibit. I hope to create excitement and open up possibilities on ways that 2D work can be transformed. If I inspire and excite the audience I know that my goal will be achieved. We will seek other venues for this exhibition, my textile work and outreach for interweaving Nordic design within our community and beyond.

I intend to include one painting made up of 15 - 6 x6 small works arranged together. The triptych will allow me to explore moving the images, shapes and colors from one panel to the next. I am also planning to airbrush components so rather than relying on random images and found paper I can create the exact color fragments that will be needed for this project. I have therefore included in the budget equipment and materials needed to complete the project as proposed. I think people react to my collages because of my love and use of color and the mystery of the images that I include in unusual ways. If I have succeeded the viewer should not have to work to seek a sensory experience, but should be drawn into the work. The intention of the work is a visual experience and, like the words of a poem or song, should leave you with an image and emotion.

March - Code abstract animations that are responsive to input from each other and from the simple act of touch via a mobile interface. These will be rendered live via a web browser that listens for input through its internet connection to a central server. 3. April - Create a physical space for testing and use it to solicit feedback from at least 6 artist peers. Initiate a studio visit from curatorial staff at the Tweed. 4. May - Leverage documentation of the prototype to begin outreach about the Fall show. Summarize results and create a blueprint and work plan for the larger space. During this prototyping phase, I will request ongoing critical reviews from a group of artists whose thoughts and insights have been quite useful to my development.

My desire to make work stems from my love of landscape and my immersion into it. The work I create is reflective of both of these things. My goals for this Artist Residency at Cedar Point Biological Station and Wind River Range Research are: 1) Explore/examine two ""new"" landscapes to develop a new body of work centered on these places. 2) Spend time drawing and photographing the sites I visit for in-studio source material that I can use to further refine the artistic quality of my animations and bring the color and abstraction of sky into my animations. 3) Meet with researchers studying the same landscape but through a different lens so that a new body of work can be informed by multiple ways of knowing. 4) Develop communication and connections with those researchers that can continue into the future and bring forth future projects. 5) Put together an exhibition of the field drawings this September in Laramie. I spend considerable time evaluating opportunities. As a working artist I must continually leverage opportunity with feasibility and cost. In thinking about these two opportunities, I have been able to identify what is possible as well as beneficial to my work, and know that I can do them. Taking the time to immerse in landscape and draw and photograph will provide rich source material; being in a social environment of the biological station will give opportunity to interact with the other researchers. All of it will provide the necessary source and most importantly inspiration for new work. I can measure these goals by: 1) Returning home with a book full of notes and field drawings from the landscapes I study. 2) Returning home with several hundred photographs that will provide additional source information for my studio drawings. 3) Keeping a journal of the interactions and conversations I have with the scientist and researchers I will meet there. 4) Getting contact information from everyone I interact with to initiate communication upon returning home. 5) Leaving drawings for Colleen to put into a September Laramie exhibition.","I explored through field study two ""new"" landscapes (Ogallala, Nebraska and the Paradise Basin near Fort Washakie, Wyoming) from which I will create of a new body of artwork - I returned to Badlands National Park, the site of my long-standing project, ""site: Sage Creek"", and continued field studies of more terrain there - I filled two drawing sketch books with land studies from these locations - I took over 1000 photos and recorded video in these sites - I made a connection with Jon Garbisch, Geologist and Director of Cedar Point Biological station - I made a connection with an artist and naturalist from Omaha, Nebraska - I learned how to do a transect of a GPS point and count plants for Colleen Friday's Plant inventory -- helpful and informative to my grassland drawings - I made new color paintings while at Cedar Point -- my hand-drawn work has been almost entirely black and white for ten years.",,1871,"Other, local or private",3600,,,,"Catherine F.

Too many scripts for young audiences condescend to children. They think kids can't handle sadness, or frightening situations, or that everything has to be funny even if it doesn't fit with the story. I disagree with those points on every level. Kids are SMART and have brave, beautiful hearts. I won't need to make the pirates silly, bumbling creatures. Long John Silver is a scary, manipulative man. Frankly, he's a man kids might meet someday in real life - at first he's a great friend to young Jim Hawkins, but he quickly proves dangerous.

I don't think these classics would have survived so long if they weren't so real. Allowing myself to dedicate an extended period of time to this project will help to make me a better writer. The quality of my adaptation of ""Treasure Island' can be judged in several ways. First, I will use my own gut reaction. How do I feel hearing the actors say my words out loud? Am I mortified during the performances? Am I excited to have audiences see my show? An artist knows when his or her work has value!

Sanded finishes leave a slight haze or fuzz, while super sharp planes leaves more of a sheen smoothness. There is a tangible difference between the two that makes for a measurable outcome. Pieces of mine that are plane finished always elicits a stronger response from viewers. There is always a curiosity as to how I got to that level of smoothness as well as how I draw out such depth to the grain. My second goal is to do more of my material processing by hand. Things come up with each piece of wood that one can find by working with it with hand tools. Knowing the characteristics can make the crucial finishing steps easier. There is character in the hand processed wood that is harder to find in machine processed wood. I will be able to evaluate the plan using multiple different metrics. The first metric is whether I completed the 21 or more planes. With those completed, it is possible to measure the completion of the other goals. I will with a few people to be critical judge whether there is a difference in my quality of work. Is the less of a fuzzy appearance to each piece? Is there more depth to the grain appearance?

This broadens my artistic achievements to make a weaving studio with a combination of looms. Handmade looms are especially intriguing as each one is different because immigrants made them the way they knew how “in the old country.” The Factory Made looms used in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s were built because of the need for cloth. The outcomes of this project will be 3-4 (or more) renovated looms that all have working parts. They will be ready for weavers to prepare for weaving by warping (putting on yarns). These looms will be ready for use in the Art Studio in Old School Lives in Cotton, Minnesota. An additional outcome is that an assistant will be working and learning alongside me. This provides me feedback that my skill and learning is being passed on to another weaver, who can then become a Weaving Studio manager herself. Three main things will be achieved. One is that there will be 3-4 restored looms. Secondly, an Assistant will have learned a great deal about the looms, and the functioning of those looms. Thirdly, I will have achieved learning about the many looms that are there, and very much about the ones we do restore. 1. Three to four (or more) looms must be assembled with all parts. 2. They must work correctly. To make them workable one must understand how a loom works, and know what parts are necessary to make it work. Furthermore, one must know how to balance the parts to make them work with the right tension on the warp threads so that weaving can proceed. 3. We might have to warp a loom to demonstrate tension issues, as well as how to balance pulleys and harnesses. 4. The Trainer (me) will have to choose which looms to restore. I will also have to visualize and determine how they can fit in to the space available. 5. The Trainee (Ginger) will have successfully begun to understand a loom and how it works. 6. Repaired parts and replacement parts are functional and provide the correct mechanics that are necessary to make them work. The woodworkers will know that their work was of high value. 7. An eclectic looking group of parts of looms now are working as a loom should. 8. My new skills are evidenced in the final product of old looms turned into “NEW” old looms.","1. Reinforce my reverence for Historic Looms: I am honored that I could rapidly interpret the needed repairs and adjustments for each loom. I am so excited that I was able to do this and feel so much more competent. 2. Learn more about how they were made: each loom had different types of brakes, harnesses were different from loom to loom, attached or unattached seats were different on each loom, one loom had so many bolts on it, it was just astonishing, and one loom used springs instead of pulley systems (wow!). 3. 3-4 looms will be restored; we overachieved this goal by restoring 8 looms! 4. They will be ready for use in the Textile Studio at Old School Lives: one needs to put the threads on the looms before they can actually be balanced with the right tension to weave. This will happen as warping techniques,"" a class to be scheduled. 5. Assistant will be working and learning alongside me: hand-made characteristics of each loom was reviewed and discussed with Ginger as we worked on them. 6. Provides me with feedback that skills are being learned and passed on to another weaver: we warped one loom to do a test run to get the thread tension right so weaving can happen. One rag rug is started on it as of this writing, and Ginger is just thrilled that this is working!

The piece will also explore how the refugees perceive the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and will articulate what hopes, if any, they have for the future. The success of these two essays will depend on the quality of the research and writing that comes out of these two projects. Although I have published several-dozen creative works in literary journals over the years, I do not generally consider publication to be the sole measure of a project's success, as some creative writing pieces can take many years to develop. I do, however, aim to produce two publishable pieces and to share them at a community reading.""","With support from the grant, I gave a public reading at the Prøve Gallery in Duluth on Dec. 1, 2016.

Clearly, since this is a portfolio review event, I will get critiqued. If my work fits with the institutions, the other two goals should fall into place as well. My outcome will depend not only on the quality of my work, but also on the fit and timing with the institutions I meet with.","As planned, I had the opportunity to show a portfolio of my photographs to over 40 museum curators, gallery owners, and magazine editors from around the world.

Three gallery owners, and two art consultant firms expressed an interest in working with me in the future. In addition, I showed my work to several private collectors, and made one print sale on the spot for $500, to a prominent collector from England.

I want to expose my writing, and myself as a writer, to the scrutiny of a much-admired and accomplished literary writer, gaining fresh perspectives and new skills to accelerate the completion of my novel, The Order of Love. 2) Manuscript. I will finish this novel begun several years ago, giving voice to the main character who has lived with me, polishing the manuscript to be ready for publication. To accomplish this, I’ll participate in a week-long Mentorship in Fiction Writing with Faith Sullivan. Then, I’ll use the ten hours per week devoted to my personal writing to focus on this novel, which is about 60% complete. 3) Gratitude. I’ll present my work in a public reading to an audience of regional fiction writers, inviting them to present their work as well, to celebrate and recognize this literary community as we consider how to contribute our voices and our energy. Participation in the mentorship with Ms. Sullivan, and in group discussions with classmates, will help me evaluate the qualities present and missing in my fiction writing. By the end of that intensive week, I will be able to articulate a clear blueprint to finish my novel. I’ll evaluate my writing progress regularly from September 2016 to June 2017 to stay on track to complete the manuscript by the end of June 2017. In January 2017, I’ll begin planning the public reading with and for my fiction-writing peers, and will evaluate the success of that event based in part on feedback from participants.

This objective will be successfully met when the instruments are complete and on display. Additionally, I have two secondary goals that supplement and result from my primary goal: 1) improve craftsmanship as a builder; 2) develop a reputation as a local banjo maker. An improvement in my craftsmanship will be measured by successfully incorporating inlay and decorative wood techniques that I have not previously attempted that will improve the overall aesthetic and tone of the banjos. The foundations of a local reputation commence as I interact with area banjo players who happen to see and play the instruments created in this project. I will have two completed banjos for sale and on display in Duluth no later than September 30, 2016. I have built previous banjos in one month. With improved access to supplies and more efficient tools, construction of two banjos in three months is reasonable. To ensure timeliness of completion, I have established the following benchmarks corresponding with the building process: 1) Necks and fingerboard completed by August 1. 2) Pots completed by August 15. 3) Finishing and hardware installation completed by September 1. 4) Banjos setup, tuned and delivered by September 15. Quantification of improved craftsmanship will begin with a review of project notes, recordings and photos of my previous banjos. I will be focusing especially on improving my skills in decorative wood and inlay techniques. Peghead and fingerboard inlay work will occur in the first phase to allow time to rebuild or improve inlay and decorative work. Once these two methods are successful and incorporated into the completed banjos, I will consider my skills improved and the goal met. A local reputation takes years of collaboration to develop. To evaluate the progress towards this goal I have established long and short-term measures. A short-term measure will be communication with at least one area banjo player who has seen and played my project instruments within the first month of display I hope to achieve my long-term outcome of collaborating with and building a banjo for at least one local musician within one year.","Completed two banjos incorporating decorative wood and inlay techniques.",,1140,"Other, local or private",3000,,,0.00,"Ben Cogger",Individual,"Career Development Grant",,"Made in Duluth banjos.",2016-07-01,2016-09-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ben,Cogger,"Ben Cogger",,,MN,,"(218) 355-0427 ",cogge013@d.umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Carlton, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/career-development-grant-39,"Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of the Duluth Art Institute; Kristina Estell: visual artist specializing in large-scale installations; Crystal Detlefsen: sound engineer, photographer, KUWS radio host; Summer Scharringhausen: program manager at MacRostie Art Center.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2

(2) Purchase a professional lathe and tooling (Laguna REVO 18-36 professional wood lathe, the Pinnacle cryogenic 3/4 skew chisel, the Pinnacle cryogenic bowl turning tool set.) Higher quality tools allow an artist to work more efficiently--less vibration and less user fatigue with heavier tools, more stability and safety in mounting stock, more powerful motor to turn larger stock, quicker machine adjustment. 1. Attend 24 hours of one-on-one mentoring from professional word turner Jerry Prosise in Brentwood, Tennessee (in three consecutive 8-hour per day sessions) in February/March 2016. Twelve hours of mentoring will be devoted to advanced spindle turning techniques--tool selection, sharpening insights, roughing stock techniques, knowing when to use and how to achieve pull cuts, push cuts, shear cuts and scraping, the efficient use of the skew chisel to produce a flawless finish and to cut down on sanding. The other twelve hours of instruction will be on introductory bowl turning: stock selection for natural edge bowls, stock preparation (how to cut it), stock mounting possibilities with different chuck variations, basic bowl designs, grain and feature orientation, natural edge techniques (where the bark of the wood is intact and visible on the finished bowl). Also included will be mentoring in making the various cuts using the bowl gouge to hollow safely, preventing tool catching, using the bowl scraper effectively, and finishing variations. 2. Verify purchase of tools upon acceptance of grant at Woodcraft store in Bloomington, Minnesota with receipt sent to Arrowhead Regional Arts Council office.""","I purchased the Revo lathe in February along with assorted tools and completed the mentoring in mid-June. The first measurable outcome has been a revolutionary attitude change—a night and day reversal. Before the grant, I dreaded turning things. Now I look for turning projects and am stockpiling material for future projects. The Revo lathe is such a quality tool. It’s super heavy duty, eliminating fatigue, and it has smooth, easy speed changes with the turn of a knob. There has been a 66% increase in efficiency when turning tapered rungs for ladder-back chairs. That’s huge. Before the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council grant, it took me 12-15 minutes (not including sanding) to do one rung. Now it takes me 5 minutes start to finish! And that’s less than two weeks after the classes! The peeling and shear cuts with a Lacer skew (that I learned from the mentoring) take stock down quickly with minimal sanding (220 finish sanding). The increase also comes from direct mentoring about the correct sharpening process—keeping your lathe tools razor sharp. It’s a staggering turn-around, and I can’t thank the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council board enough for making this a reality. Because I just finished the mentoring classes (and moved house a month ago), I haven’t had a lot of time to complete some of the turning projects for the 2017 exhibitions, except a couple rungs and roughing out a couple natural edge bowls.",,3473,"Other, local or private",5070,,,0.00,"Paul A.

My goal is to spend time sketching on back roads, in alleys, on top of the hillside, and in wooded, overgrown pieces of my childhood neighborhood near Lester River. I have recently been looking at historical artwork depicting the Duluth area, and I really would love to do a body of work which joins that history. I like the idea of interpreting the landscapes, neighborhoods, people, urban environments, and animals of the area. The work would involve making art that could reflect our time here- where the modern emerges from the historical, where development emerges from the wild. There is something about that edge of nature that I am wanting to pursue. My goal is to do work that will be a permanent part of the artistic history of the area. I think the true measure of this body of work would be if it evokes the essence of this place and time, and if it stands as compelling art on its own. It would have to be evaluated in a larger context as well as a local one, in that people who don't live here would still have a connection to it. Does it take the personal to the universal? Does it speak to the tension between the wild and the developed? Those would be the measuring tools and questions I would try to answer with this work.","The show has been a success, with a large turnout at the opening, and several of the pieces sold. The project opened up a new door of inspiration for me, and solidified my commitment to this area as a subject matter.

The long-term goal is to publish truthful, well-written stories about all facets of military life. This will help narrow the divide between civilians and service members (the “civilian-military gap""ť). This can be accomplished by publishing stories about the whole spectrum of military life: from home as a family member to combat and everything in between. Writers will be offered classes that support these goals: - Improving Writing Skills - Learning How to Get Published - Building Networks - Increasing Motivation. There are fifteen hours of lessons. A separate 2-hour event open to the public (Public Reading / Moderated Panel Discussion) is scheduled for the evening of the first day. Outcomes will be measured with pre- and post-workshop surveys. Fourteen of those hours will be devoted to Improving Writing Skills. One hour will be about Learning How to Get Published. The entire weekend will be spent Building Networks. Success will be a completed roster of contact information. Increasing Motivation will occur throughout the workshop, but especially during the public event. The Director of Bridging the Gap will maintain a record of workshop writers that get published.","5 of the 8 attending writers completed Workshop Surveys about Bridging the Gap. 100% answered yes to the following question: ""Do you think the workshop improved your skills as a writer?"" 100% also answered yes to this question: ""Should this workshop happen again?""

The survey self-reports success in the writing craft objective. Networking happened by default between the writers and lessons in how to get published were taught. Increased motivation was not measured, but I'm hopeful that these writers are more motivated to write. - The long term objective was to help these writers get truthful, well-written stories about military life published so they can narrow the divide between civilians and servicemembers.

By reading other artist's lyrics and stories, students will analyze how Hip Hop artists use music as a means to share their lived experiences with the world. Students will then have the opportunity to write and record a track titled ""My Reflection"" to share their own stories with the rest of the group and a broader audience through KUMD. Not only will students analyze music as a vehicle for self-expression, they will be exposed to the recording and production process, using Logic software to record and mix their own track.

I consider the new album to be a culmination of twenty years of experience as a professional musician and songwriter. In the past I had been focused on operating under a certain code as an American roots musician, or playing Irish or reggae music in a way I considered authentic etc. Now, with all those projects as educational tools, this album will be the first time I am making an album that will be searching to sound like myself - a culmination of my music and life experiences up to this point. The musicians working with me have put their hearts and talent into the recordings and I have my home studio to arrange and fine tune the project. The funding will give me every opportunity to make the best album possible. I have a proven track record of releasing more than a dozen albums on my own record independent record label. I have built strong relationships with venues in and outside of our region and proven a willingness to go on tour to promote my work. This pandemic has enabled me to become more efficient with computer-related promotional tools such as live streaming that I can use for promotion when the album is released. I feel young, healthy and am constantly improving at the craft of songwriting and the art of making albums. I feel as if I have been working towards this album for my entire life and am excited to put all of myself into the project.I will consider this project a success if it resonates in the community. I want to contribute to a local chain reaction of positive thoughts and ideas. If the new album inspires someone to be a better artist or a better person - that will be success. If someone becomes more conscious of the community and world around them after hearing a certain song or lyric - that will be success. If people want to talk about a feeling or an idea they had when they hear the new music - that will be success.

I've written six chapters of a planned sixteen chapter work, telling Eddie's story along the way from his childhood somewhere along the hills above the river that flows through Nagachiwanong (Fond du Lac Reservation in northern Minnesota) to his life and work in Red Cliff, Wisconsin. Funding will provide for Ojibwe translations and the services of a professional line editor. As a writer I am always working within deadlines. As a publisher this has become even more important to me because I rely on the coordination of writers, illustrators, graphic designers and the printing company to ensure the work gets done within a defined time frame. I've developed brief chapter outlines of each of the remaining chapters of The Place of Beginnings and Endings, several sentences that describe chapter themes, characters, sequences and events. The characters appear in my imagination and I, as writer, become the recorders of their story, writing down their telling of the story to me. I describe the process as hearing voices without being mentally ill. I write a lot, five books in the last four years. I have another manuscript of children's historical fiction (The Fire, a fictionalized biography of a young Native girls experience during the Cloquet Fire of 1918 on the Fond du Lac Reservation) sitting on a desk at Minnesota Historical Society awaiting review. I will complete ten of the remaining chapters of a sixteen chapter work. And although the chapters do not have formal titles, they have the common interwoven themes indicated earlier in my narrative.

What I found out was surprising and quite shocking. I found out that 8 out of 10 of my clients knew little if none of their cultural heritage. Over half of them lived on their reservations and many had never been to a cultural event. In fact, for many of them, the first place they started to learn about their culture and heritage was where I worked. It was also where they started to learn Native American art, which is embedded in the culture and has a huge part to play on communicating our stories and history. I believe that my work will benefit to the community as each piece will tell a story or show an aspect of that culture. It will help those who are interested and/or are learning to know more about our and/or their heritage/culture and the importance of art and how it can teach and tell a story.I am trying to create a series that will push me both artistically and culturally. I want to create this series to not only push myself to the next level with my ceramic work, but to also successfully combine and meld different art disciplines together to create a mixed media series. My goal is to take these different materials and create pieces that enhance and help me tell different stories of my Native American culture. My goals are to have at least 6 pieces finished in the series that all tell a story about Native American culture and art. While I am finishing them, my goal is also to find at least one show or event that will allow me to show my work to the community. I feel that I have confidence to execute this because I have been able to successfully combine mixed media with my ceramic work in the past. I also have the drive and passion to push myself to the next level so that I can achieve and successfully complete this series. I just need the time and funding to achieve that goal.I can honestly say that this has been a series I have been wanting to do for a long time but I just haven't felt confident enough in my abilities or haven't felt that I knew enough techniques with the other art disciplines to successfully complete the series and I definitely haven't had the time to complete it also.

Many of these women are gone now and I feel a responsibility to pass along their skills to others. I realize that this is a personal, culturally-specific journey. I offer it not as a comprehensive view of the breadth of quilting history but as the particular pathway that I followed. The two video courses I released this summer include narrated video footage where I demonstrate and explain my work. They also include lengthy unnarrated footage where I work at the quilting machine. A typical online course would extensively edit or even remove this footage, but I know this is valuable content. It's similar to a digital version of an apprenticeship, making it possible to watch a master craftsperson at work. This extended footage gives students the opportunity to peer over my shoulder while I work. It shows the rhythm of my work, and how I solve problems and make design decisions dynamically. Quilting has been a life saver for me. It has accompanied me through the ups and downs of life and has allowed me to provide for my family. By providing captioned, streaming video content that is available 24/7 unbound to a particular geographic location, I can increase access to this material.This project will result in: 1. a wholecloth quilt demonstrating a range of traditional styles and techniques that influenced me as a young quilter 2. a narrated, captioned video documenting design through completion of this quilt 3. a long-form, unnarrated version that allows the viewer to see a fuller, uninterrupted view of the quilting process 4. a narrated, captioned gallery of traditional hand quilting samples 5. a web-accessible streaming video course containing all of the above I taught myself longarm machine quilting from books at the public library about hand quilting techniques. I then grew my skills by learning from experienced community elders. By adopting these intricate, traditional hand techniques I developed a style and method that was unique to the machine quilting world. This approach set me apart from other machine quilters working at the time and led to a long road of opportunities to exhibit, teach and publish. My approach was unconventional when I began my work. Because it's based in the hand quilting tradition I'm considered a traditionalist in the quilt world despite my work with machines. I'm known for my work in hand-stitched applique quilts and other traditional skills, and for my free-motion work with a type of quilting machine called a ""longarm"" where I use the needle of a quilting machine like a drawing instrument. I mix traditional techniques with modern methods. I have a deep appreciation and knowledge of quilting history.The above list of deliverables will be completed by September 30, 2022. A draft version will have a limited release in August 2022. I will host a public artist talk and viewing at my studio and will reach out to a select group of other quilters for one-to-one conversations. I will gather feedback from these sessions. The final release will incorporate what we have learned from their suggestions. After the final release, web analytics will be gathered and we will be listening for further comments and suggestions.

I hope the community is inspired by my hard work and sacrifice shown in my steady artistic output and willingness to tour. I am trying to achieve my greatest work as a singer-songwriter. The pandemic has forced me to embrace recording in my own home studio. I have been studying the technical aspects of recording to go along with my experience as a musician in order to achieve a better overall project. When my Minneapolis musician friend Molly Maher heard what Erik Koskinen and I had started in Erik's Cleveland studio, she said, ""this sounds like the next level for you."" I have been repeating Molly's encouraging words to myself and everyone else who is working on the project. The goal is ""the next level"" that Molly mentioned. Measurable outcomes are things like Spotify plays, radio play, concert bookings and other subsequent opportunities. Measurable outcomes will also be the personal connections these recordings create. I have a track record of consistently releasing albums. I have built strong relationships with some of the finest musicians, producers and engineers in Minnesota and proud to have earned the opportunity to work with some of them on this album. I have also built strong relationships with venues in and outside of Minnesota, and proven a willingness to go on tour to promote my work. I feel young, healthy and am constantly improving at the craft of songwriting, performing and the art of making albums. I feel as if I have been working towards this album my entire life and am excited to put all of myself into the project.I will know if the project is a success directly from the people of our community that I will continue to play for at every type of music venue in Duluth, all over Northern Minnesota and beyond. I will consider this project a success if it resonates in the community. I want to contribute to a local chain reaction of positive thoughts and ideas. If the new album inspires someone to be a better artist or a better person - that will be success. If someone becomes more conscious of the community and world around them after hearing a certain song or lyric - that will be success. If people want to talk about a feeling or an idea they had when they hear the new music - that will be success.

With Grand Portage having the most impact of the six reservation in Minnesota from colonization and coercive assimilation policies, much of the community is at a significant lost in terms of cultural identity. I hope my work will inspire all people that the Ojibway culture is still alive. I hope that people understand the importance of art and that stories of history and culture can be visually told through art. One of the fist and foremost accomplishments I think any artist can do with their art, has be in the value of expressing love to one's self. I believe my art is a continually act and expression of self love. Art is healing for me and my community. The loss of culture for Native People is generational. Many native people don't even know why there is internalized oppression on the reservation and why the alcohol and drug addiction rate is so high. Science, education and history tells us that all Native People suffer from inter-generational trauma due to the loss of culture and disconnection to their environment. As a surviving addict, I use my art to express my emotions in healthy way. I hope to inspire younger people that there is another way of life and that there is healthy way express your emotions. Hope this art project helps to teach non-native people that native people are still here and that their culture is alive. I'm confident I can complete this project because Ive had it in mind for sometime. I actually drew out the working sketch two years ago and have more then enough wood on hand to complete the Job. Most of my projects to date have been out of pocket projects, meaning I haven't had any out side funding throughout the process of completing them. The reason I do art isn't for the money, it is for the love of creating something meaningful, telling a story and sharing with family, friends and community. I plan on doing this project with or with outside funding, it would just take me longer to complete with out any help. Also, I am place where my life where a career in art could actually be a real possibility. So I am self motivated in becoming a professional artist, I want to be able to make a living doing what I love. Also, I have great deal of encouragement from family and friends that inspire me in being successful. I think I'll know if my work is successful when it finds a home. I'll know if my work is successful by possibly getting another publication to showcase my work in another magazine. I'll know if my work is successful if i have younger person commenting to me that my art helped to inspire them in to expressing themselves a healthy way. I'll know if my work is successful by getting more commissions.",,,6350,"Other,local or private",10350,,,0.00,"Donovan D.

First, I don't believe it is currently safe to be returning to in-person theater with live audiences. It could be quite some time before that can happen. Helping to fill the void of artistic performances benefits the theater-going members of our community by helping to satisfy their craving for this art form. Second, working with Wise Fool Theater on this project will demonstrate to other local arts organizations that there are ways to continue creating high quality artistic experiences in a safe way. It is very important to the bottom line of an organization to remain present in the minds of their patrons. I think this is forcing unsafe decisions. As artists, we can do our greatest work when we are forced to find creative solutions. Finally, this will be an excellent resource to local educators. These plays will be released as a series of free podcasts and will contain recorded synopses at the beginning of each track. Teaching Shakespeare on the page is difficult. These recordings will help bring the stories to life for students in a way they might not have been able to previously experience. I believe the synopsis at the beginning of each track will be a key component in demystifying these stories. Capturing Shakespeare's words alone would be easy, but the goal of this project is to push the envelope into a complete experience, inviting the audience into the world of these great classical texts, breathing new life into them for today's audience. Instead of lamenting the current situation, I want to embrace the opportunity to expand my creative discipline through a new restrictive lens. Creating this high quality, impactful, piece of work that brings Shakespeare into living-rooms and classrooms across our region will allow me to continue to grow my skill set. The measurable outcomes of this project include: 1. Remotely recording 20+ actors using the Zencastr program. 2. Editing and mixing the recording to include the best takes of each performance and appropriate music and sound effects. 3. Mastering the final project and uploading to podcasting platforms for distribution within the specified timeline. I have worked within the Duluth theater community for more than a decade as a theatrical sound designer. I am the primary sound person for the Duluth Playhouse/Norshor Theater, Renegade Theater Company, and Wise Fool. I have demonstrated success through dozens of theatrical productions in a wide range of styles and genres. I have regularly completed projects of similar scope and scale, and I have a complete knowledge of all the necessary equipment and software involved. Wise Fool Theater approached me early in the pandemic looking for a project they could do safely. They were interested in producing radio dramas with a video component, but didn't know if it would be possible to do so remotely. I researched the capabilities of Zoom, the video conferencing app, and found that, with certain adjustments to the settings, it would be capable of recording high quality audio. This project does not require a video component, so using Zencastr will provide even sharper audio recordings. I will assess the above mentioned measurable outcomes of this project in the following ways: 1. Remote recording quality. - We hear an even consistency of sound quality across all performers. Nobody sticks out. 2. Editing and mixing. - The director approves of the final performances, sound effects, and music. 3. Final mastering and distribution. - The project is completed on-time. Audience feedback will help judge the success of the final master, and distribution success can be measured through the number of listens/downloads. Audience feedback can come in several forms, including emails from patrons, social media engagement, and direct feedback from the local artistic community as well as educators.",,,800,"Other,local or private",4800,,,0.00,"Nicholas Gosen",Individual,"Individual Artist Project Grant FY21",,"Shakespeare Audio Plays with Wise Fool Theater.

Local cultural contributions are arguably deeper and more significant. Production collaborations with local artists like Magic Smelt Puppet Theatre, Northern Acrylics, The Denfeld HS theatre department, Design EYE Q9 (Duluth's only African-American owned design studio), Blowpop Media, Lake Effect Studios, Death Calm Studios, and Zinema/Zeitgeist (among others) lead to an interpenetration of ideas, insights and visions. We also provide internships to community students and work outside our projects to advance the careers of area filmmakers with production consulting, funding leads, etc. Broadcasts in regional media about our work bring arts and cultural news to the region's interested citizens. Perhaps the largest community impact is the level of quality and global reach that local cast and crew are able to access. In the same way that my first film exposed the work of Northland film personnel to screens worldwide, advance distribution interest predicts the same or greater reach and impact from this project. Finally, because our efforts attract financial interest and acting talent from the coasts and Europe (and some of our top actors are also writers, directors, and producers), a collateral outcome of this project is that outside people of influence are able to spend time as artists in the region and and often express a desire to return both as tourists and as creators. I divide accomplishments and outcomes of this work into two categories: those pertaining (1) to personal artistic ambition and (2) to worldwide audience impact. Addressing the audience of the finished film is an easier matter: I project that more people in more places will see and discuss my work. I don't hope or dream that they will all love it, but objective quantitative statistics on DVD purchases, online streaming numbers, festival attendance rosters, and frequency of online critique will provide ample information on how the work ""succeeded"" externally. Although the internal artistic effect is harder to measure, I believe that I will be able to personally assess whether the final film has provided a meaningful emotional and intellectual experience. I also look to the critique of trusted collaborators as to how they read the experience of this artwork. Finally, I value and heed the qualitative feedback I receive online from audience members who take time to respond to my work. Your confidence can be based on 2 objective factors: (1) my vision-to-distribution freshman full-length filmmaking effort, ""In Winter"" and (2) the substantial progress I have already made on ""The Hunter"". From a working draft, we calculated precise logistics and scheduled travel for a cast and crew from MN, throughout the US and Holland, with 24 actors arriving in Duluth by airplane, bus and car, accommodating overlapping and solitary time requirements on set. We also provided 149 nights of housing and 30 days of meals for the team and , most importantly, finished principal photography ON SCHEDULE. We commenced editing as Covid hit, but were able to complete a first assembly of the rough footage remotely. We now have 3 rough cuts for review and will lock down a final visual edit soon. We have recruited specialist crew who are standing by to complete final post-production, including color correction, titles and credits, sound design/composition, Foley/SFX, ADR and final sound clean-up and mix. My personal definition of success for this work is simple and complicated at the same time: ""The Hunter"" will be a success if it has beauty, power and integrity. This statement of success requires that I define these three words ""Beauty"" exhibits freshness, originality and thoughtfulness in the presentation and composition of an organic visual experience. ""Power"" in a film shows us a living, breathing world where we are touched emotionally and intellectually; it eschews the superfi",,,72225,"Other,local or private",76225,,,0.00,"Alexander P.

First of all, anytime artists reach out to collaborate with each other (such as the Little Knife Sanctuary Residency with Patricia Canelake and Frank Sander)? a?new community springs up, expands, and benefits those in the immediate area. The subject of this work provides a new perspective in paying homage to the ships of the Great Lakes, and has a broad reaching impact to the entire Great Lakes region In addition, by making a short film on the process of printing, provides others with the opportunity to expand their printmaking skills. Sharing the completed work by engaging the ? community in an opening reception to see the art provides an invitation? to people who might not otherwise be involved in viewing fine art on a regular basis.? Finally, having this project showcased on MPR's podcast ?Art Hounds? furnishes the chance for a broader audience to know the region, the art of printmaking, and the artist.

A goal of mine as a musician is to use the music I create as a way to evoke compassion and connection with diverse audiences. This project will help share the music of Superior Siren, and will hopefully bring some joy and healing to listeners. In the midst of the pandemic, I have observed that music lovers long for ways to experience creativity. Virtual performances are an accessible and safe way for people to enjoy music. Additionally, live streamed shows allow artists to interact with listeners in real-time while performing, which can inspire a feeling of togetherness. Though virtual shows lack the same energy and atmosphere of in-person shows, I have found that virtual shows can have a greater outreach through connecting online. I want these sessions to be free and open to the public so that everyone in the community is able to tune in. Most virtual shows suggest attendees to buy a ticket or make a donation. I instead want to remove that concern during this difficult financial time and have the experience be about the music. My main goal of the work is to successfully host live streaming concerts called ""Superior Siren Studio Sessions"", that feature solo performances by Superior Siren (myself). I aim to procure visual and audio equipment to enhance these virtual events. Another goal is to sustain my creative endeavors, create ways to perform, and connect with listeners during the pandemic. I also aim to promote the new solo Superior Siren EP ""Kill Your Darlings"". The measurable outcomes are: the obtainment of the equipment listed in the budget, the execution of the equipment functions, the completion of ten performances as the ""Superior Siren Studio Sessions"", an increase in listeners, social engagement with the new EP ""Kill Your Darlings"", and an increase in EP CD and digital sales and streams. You should have confidence that I can execute this project, because I have a fervent determination to meet desired creative goals. I have successfully completed seven projects that were funded through grants from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council. I have researched the necessary visual and audio equipment to use for online streaming concerts. I have learned that a successful virtual event takes much more complex tools than originally anticipated. I have had experience performing virtually, and believe these tools to be essential in producing a live event that is visually stimulating with good sound quality. The equipment I have selected has positive reviews for live streaming shows. Additionally, I have personal connections with audio engineers and videographers than can assist me with the initial set up and trouble-shooting. Finally, the compensation through this grant will allow me adequate time and energy to execute this project.I will measure the outcomes of the project in the following ways: by successfully obtaining the selected equipment, by analyzing my use of the equipment, by completing ten performances of the ""Superior Siren Studio Sessions"", by recording web analytics to analyze the growth in listeners and increase in engagement, and by recording CD sales and digital streams of the EP ""Kill Your Darlings"". All of these ways, and by stimulating my unique creativity, will show that the work was a success.",,,,,4000,,,0.00,"Laura M.

I am passionate about this idea and want to see it enter mainstream discourse with my book. I do not believe that disability makes people less valuable or ruins their possibilities at having a happy and meaningful life. It is rather society that needs to work to include all people through embracing and prioritizing accessibility, tolerance, and respect. And since nearly everyone will experience disability to some degree throughout their lifetimes, improving our relationship with the concept of disability can have wide-reaching positive effects. Painting disability as negative detracts from the ways that it can, in fact, provide a much-needed perspective in society. It cannot be denied that my disability has shaped my life in countless ways and thus I honor it as a part of me that cannot be scorned or denied any more than my hair color or family background. I take pride in my disability because, in part, it has brought me to where I am today. I know that not everyone with a disability sees the world the same way, but there is a lively contingent of activists that relate to this concept of Disability Pride. I hope to help promote these ideas by writing my book. I also think my book will provide a positive and encouraging voice for independent musicians. I think it will help foster creativity and inner freedom. I want to have a rough draft of my manuscript completed by October 2021, and ideally have the book published by October 2022. I am trying to accomplish increased visibility for disabled musicians (and just disabled people in general) through this book, and so the broad goal of this project is to spread awareness about disability and start discussions in my community around accessibility in the arts, Disability Pride, and inner freedom that comes from accepting yourself and others. As I said, I already have the complete outline and the first chapter done. I write regularly in my newsletters, to my Patreon Team, and on my blog. I know this is a project I can execute if I have the time set aside for it. I have all the ideas I want to say lined up - now I just have to write them! My rough draft will be completed by October 2021, and then my book will be published in October 2022.

Much of this will be through the use of social media (1200+ collective followers) and email newsletters (250+ subscribers) through a series called 'Behind the Song'. 'Behind the Song' will consist of posts/emails in which I share the lyrics, story and life experiences that have inspired each song, along with how these experiences have affected me emotionally and/or changed my perspective (i.e. loosing a friend to alcoholism, past depression, etc.). During this time I will have a call of action to encourage people to comment/post/respond with their own life interpretations or experiences. I will share the stories/song inspirations during live performances opening the door for conversation and connection after the show. The album inserts will be another opportunity to present the lyrics and share my 'album message', acknowledging these themes that are often hushed or seen as taboo. Wilting Point will bring light to these difficulties and create a sense of community and camaraderie around our personal struggles. I believe by sharing my story I will comfort my audience by letting them know they are not alone and that it is okay to be imperfect, and look to empower others to share their own vulnerability and find the growth that comes with opening up.TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH: The purpose of this grant is to complete the post-production of my second solo album, Wilting Point. My goal is to have an album that will showcase my artistic ability and craft on a professional level. The music industry is full of independent artists and in order to be recognized as a professional, I have to look and sound like a professional. This means I must have high-quality audio packaged in a visually appealing way. This funding will allow me to collaborate with artists that have the ability to achieve the level of quality I am after. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: Mixing and mastering 8 songs to complete my album Wilting Point. Print 400 physical CDs for national radio campaign distribution and direct sales. Digitally distribute album. Promote my work on my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), and also have a 10% increase in activity on these social platforms. Gain insight and improve communication and business skills through collaborations. When all of my gigs were cancelled due to the first COVID-19 lockdown I was forced to re-evaluate my life, prompting me to fully commit to writing/recording my own music. Amidst the challenge I taught myself how to record on a professional recording program and in April 2020 I began recording my debut solo album, Canvas and Color, from my home in Duluth. In June the album was fully recorded, consisting of 8 songs (7 originals/1 cover). I wrote/arranged/performed every instrument on Canvas and Color, including drums, percussion, bass guitar, electric guitar, xylophone, vocals and piano/keyboard. In August, the album was mixed, in Sept. it was mastered and in Nov. 2020 I released Canvas and Color and began a national radio campaign to promote the work. This timeline showcases my level of dedication, organization, and commitment to my craft. In addition, all of the noted collaborators are professionals and known for their expertise and ability to carry out projects in a timely manner.Mix/Master 8 songs will allow me to distribute the album physically/digitally. Sales of the album via digital distribution, website and live shows - goal of $500 in income in first three months.. Track follows/engagements on digital distribution channels (Apple Music, Bandcamp, etc.) - goal of a 10% increase. Track growth in newsletter sign-ups (via live shows, website) - goal of 50 new subscribers. Track success of 'Behind the Song' series through engagement on social media, replies to newsletter and conversations at live shows, even one connection will prove this series worthwhile. Track social media platforms for insight followers - goal 10% increase (Facebook, etc.). Throughout the project I will take notes on the collaborations, reflecting on what is working well and where I need to improve my communication. This insight will be used in future projects.

As an artist, I am committed to capturing a story about Duluth in this particular moment. In 2019, a New York Times article named Duluth as a mecca for future climate migrants. This article opened up a conversation in Duluth about climate change that is evolving and ongoing. It's exciting to consider what so many interviews will reveal about the hopes and concerns residents have about the future of their city. Furthermore, I also believe (2) that any artistic endeavor should generate conversation and awareness. While the topic of climate change remains polarizing in some communities, it's not my intention to tell people what to believe. Rather, I aim to continue the conversation started by the 2019 New York Times article by adding depth to the claims made by that article and offer local perspective to what it means for a place to be considered a climate refuge. This project would give a diverse range of regional residents an opportunity to weigh in, share their thoughts, and have their voices and concerns considered, which will be demonstrated in the public event I proposed for May 2022. My goal is to accomplish what years of school, life experience, and practice have trained me to do, which is, write a book that I know deserves a chance to be in the world. This will be measured by: (1) Manuscript: A saved draft of 60,000-80,000 words by late spring 2022 (2) Interviews: At least 50 interviews conducted by January 2022 (3) Event: A successful public event attended by at least 40 people that creates community conversation around the topic of my project I have worked in various aspects of the publishing industry for over a decade. I understand how to create a book proposal and pitch a project like the one I'm undertaking. As an MFA student, I studied with award-winning authors who helped me make valuable connections, including the editor who has already expressed interest in this project. I also have experience working as a freelance writer, editor, and project manager for successful writing-based organizations where I used my background in marketing to expand their enrollment and profitability. I've historically shown my ability to keep other programs organized while working full-time and also pursuing my own writing projects. This grant would allow me to make this project my sole creative focus. Finally, I've conducted hundreds of interviews, from business case studies for a tech company to personal profiles for magazines Minnesota Bride, which gives me the skills necessary to show up prepared for any interview situation.Publication: I believe the story of Duluth and climate change will generate national interest as other cities consider their own future. Evidence of this would be book reviews and interviews, as well as speaking opportunities. Feedback: Every writer needs a good reader and editor. I will look to my network of peers to assess the quality of my manuscript and how it fits into the publishing market. New Opportunities: I believe success is an accumulation of hard work, and every project reveals a new opportunity. By the end of this book, I know the conversations I've had will lead me to new projects and opportunities for community engagement.",,,7832,"Other,local or private",11832,,,,"Jolene Brink",Individual,"Individual Artist Project Grant",,"Tending Home: A book project exploring how climate change is impacting the lives of residents and their landscapes in Duluth, MN",2021-10-01,2022-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jolene,Brink,"Jolene Brink",,,MN,,"(406) 241-7042",jolenembrink@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,Lake,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/individual-artist-project-grant-11,"Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Kendra Carlson: writing and theater instructor, University of Minnesota Duluth; Sara Pajunen: musician; Sharee Johnson: jeweler, silversmith","Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community; Kris Nelson: artist, teacher; Roxann Berglund: musician; Bill Payne: Professor of Theater at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Sam Zimmerman: visual artist, teacher; Liz Engelman: dramaturg, founder and director of Tofte Lake Center",,2

When one of us speaks our truth the rest are uplifted and given a little extra permission to voice things as well. Even if it's just to ourselves about our own trauma. I experience this when I read stories by other adoptees. The benefit of storytelling to my community is immeasurable at this point, at the very least we end up feeling less alone in our other-ness. It can be a part of a healing journey. In speaking up, it's possible for anyone outside the adoptee triad to learn something about it as well. For the reader it would foster a greater understanding of adoptee issues, particularly in the mental health area. In my geographic community, subsequent readings and gallery shows after publication would raise awareness as well.My intention is to deliver a story with engaging drawings and text that expresses the humor and gravity of the subject matter - my youth and caregiver years. I plan to drive home some information about the adoptee experience without hitting people over the head with it. I'll address the related sibling abuse, addiction and attachment disorder and show how I've navigated and survived it so far. If I look at my drawings and feel I've done my best to visually communicate a situation and mood, and augmented them with the best words I can come up with, I'll be happy with the outcome. To have a finished, published book in hand, and have it be a container of all of my goals, a work of art that shines light into the dark corners of the adoption universe - that is the result I am working towards. If I receive viewer feedback that it has somehow helped them, that will be the best outcome of all. A good measurable outcome for me would be reaching the milestone 500 books sold. In spending most of my working life as a graphic production artist, I became comfortable with working under pressure and meeting deadlines. In fact, I am much more productive with a set timetable for completing tasks. I have self-published two books in the past. One is a 150 page wordless graphic memoir, and the other is a 48 page children's picture book. This demonstrates my ability to conceive, construct and put finished products out into the world. It also gives me a gauge of how long I take to work on drawings and text. Most importantly, as I will be turning 60 on my next birthday, I no longer take time for granted.Measuring the success of this project will be multifaceted. I'll feel it's a success when: 1. I complete the book on time, having made good use of my time, skills and funds. 2. I see the art and text and feel I've communicated my story in the best way possible. 3. I share it with others and they get my intended emotional takeaway and humor. 4. I feel I've learned and healed something. Because maybe this will happen for the reader too. 5. Reading through it I see that I've avoided common memoir pitfalls such as bitterness and self pity. 6. I have the finished book in hand, published by a reputable press. Even if I self-publish I'll be happy with the work. 7. My calendar is filled with library and bookstore readings, starting with the Coleraine Library. 8. I connect with other adoptees in the region and beyond, and find it inspires someone else to work on a memoir. 9. My peers at the Sequential Artists Workshop give it their vote of confidence. 10.

First of all, I will be exposing this area to an amazing tradition of European marionettes. Many diverse folks have never experienced this rare form of art, whether live or filmed. This ages-old discipline incorporates so many varied skillsets with sculpture, painting, movement technology, stagecraft and storytelling. It incites the creative imagination and continues to evolve possibilities with current innovative and experimental techniques. Secondly, this proposal helps build a local arts ecosystem of artists, which is an ARAC goal for ""innovative ideas that support building bridges and connections between artists or provide support for artists in ways that don't already exist."" Thirdly, my doctor of ministry degree is centered in an evolutionary cosmology which seeks to find ""A New Story"" for context of humankind. Because of this I have ""big picture thinking"" that looks towards a sustainable and mindful future using art, science, and soul. My scripts and performances will reflect this. Finally, our work will potentially join a worldwide network of puppeteers and their audiences. Kurt Hunter and I are members of two guilds, Puppeteers of America (PofA is the fiscal sponsor of this year's Duluth ALL Souls Night, ""Max Skeleton Walks Superior Street"") and UNIMA (Union Internationale de la Marionnette), these puppetry fans will be very interested to see what continues to happen in this field in Duluth, Minnesota.I am embarking to build a foundational, needed tool that tangibly expands my ways of reaching audiences as a mature visual and theatrical artist in a time of pandemic. This resulting stage and experimentation with the set will hone my eclectic experience into a new but related art form, marionette theatre, while continuing to actively explore new exciting venues for my public whether live, streamed, projected, or available on YouTube. I am also building unique and strong, supportive collaborations with nearby artists established in complimentary fields, this connection and support will last onwards to future projects. Measurable outcomes include mastery of new skills, new storytelling techniques, and increased audience in person and online. I have completed six gorgeous wooden marionettes during isolation from COVID-19 with my own resources. I have also had many past successes using public arts funding. My detailed resume and website show a proven record, planning and carrying out of a variety of fabulous events, personal and communal, including twenty years of problem-solving skills implementing the complicated needs of my large, unique, individual art pieces. I have also coordinated other performance and visual artists in thirteen years of the popular annual public arts event, Duluth All Souls Night (DASN). I have degrees with honors in art, theatre and world spirituality and have worked with diverse underrepresented groups and ethnicities throughout my career, using compelling storytelling with use of visuals, sound, and movement and participating in many local and countrywide art shows, conferences, and agit prop theatre. My global network of expert contacts, historic founders of theaters in my field will advise me. I will know the work is a success by testing the stage throughout a rigorous primary rehearsal process and by my first audiences' reception of it. I will upload documentation of the stage's progress on my own web site as well as other art and tourism sites to increase visibility to myself and this city beyond this region. By numbers we can count those physically present as observers (and potential critics) and I will be able to actually measure by tracking the number of ""hits"" and review subsequent comments on various social media. I will make a written survey available for anonymous feedback and position myself as available for those who would like to chat in person or on Zoom.

My project puts Native American communities in direct conversation with wider trends about the future of music on a global level. Algorithmic music is a large part of the future of electronic music and music in general and putting Indigenous voices into that space is important. Currently much of what goes on with electronic, electroacoustic, and algorithmic music happens in privileged circles and within academia and it's time for it to be brought into more communities. During my time at the University of Aberdeen I got the opportunity to be a part of a diverse musical community. One of these was a student led live coding group called Shift Enter. Together we put together workshops on live coding, visual programming with Processing and Pure Data, and we also collaborated on live coded network music projects. I want to be able to share that experience with my community here in Cloquet and Duluth. I would also like to bring the performance of my algorithmic pieces to my local community through the local Tribal college or AICHO, and I currently have a good relationship with the Tribal college. I think there's potential for me to provide free workshops on the topic of live coding music in the future, and I see this project as a stepping stone towards achieving that. I want to pioneer a new genre of music that fuses algorithmic dance music and traditional Native American music in a way that is accessible. So far there exists several performers that have successfully fused traditional Native American music with hip-hop, EDM, and electronica in an authentic way, however algorithmic music is something that still isn't very much on the radar of most rural and Indigenous communities. I'd like to bring algorithmic music to more rural and Indigenous communities. I think a completed album of algorithmic music between 45-60 minutes is one important and tangible milestone towards my goals. I would also like to perform my work and would like to put together a free workshop to introduce my local community to algorithmic music. The album would primarily be a tool for generating interest in algorithmic music and demonstrating my aptitude for sharing algorithmic music through brief instruction and performance. I've produced three albums of electronic and electroacoustic music previously and am very aware of the realities of producing an album such as this. I have a high quality mixing studio in my home and also have access to a professional mixing and recording studio on a limited basis in case the need arises for a more elaborate space to record in. I've also finished roughly one third of the album already. If the album is completed I would count that as a success. I don't want to be too ambitious with my project.

I believe that is true. Attention to our place in the world and the dynamics of our relationships benefit the writers and the community. Literature offers insight, whether reading or writing. The Iron Range and northern Minnesota region have a unique culture and a unique landscape that is undergoing change. On the Iron Range, mining operations alter the continental divide. Communities are built and then are moved when the minerals are excavated. Roads appear and later are removed. Maps change. Excavations become mine pits; mine pits become bodies of water. Mine dumps become hills until scram mining operations make them disappear. I want to ground my stories in this place of metamorphosis. Goal: Broaden my writing skills with prose. Explore the short story form as a vehicle to examine characters, events, and the impact of the landscape in the northern Minnesota region. Strengthen my fiction-writing skills such as character development: point of view, motivation, dialogue, and other aspects. Explore changes in individuals and communities by engaging my artistic skills. Outcome: I will create a book of short stories connected to the Iron Range and northern Minnesota landscape, ready for publication. I received an Arts and Cultural Heritage Community Arts Learning Grant, 2010-2011, to provide writing workshops in the community, particularly addressing the needs women who have experienced domestic abuse. I conducted over 40 writing workshops in the community and at the Women's Shelter and the Family Justice Center which was far above my plan. In the end, I collected the work of 75 participants and published it in the anthology Migrations. In the process, I learned a lot. This particular proposal to write a book of short stories requires me is to generate new material and do revisions. I have established a strong writing practice and am able to set and meet deadlines. The manuscript consult will require that I submit the short stories to an editor for an editing session online or in person. The reading and workshop are public events but also help me articulate my own learning. I chose to designate a full year to complete this project which I think is reasonable. I will use the following items for evaluating success: 1. a completed short story manuscript based on characters and events based in northern Minnesota and the Iron Range. The manuscript will be 150-200 pages. 2. a manuscript consultation with a writer whose expertise is with short stories. The feedback will be incorporated into revisions. 3. a public reading that features one of the stories. (As a poet, I've learned the value of sharing work with the public. Nothing else spurs revision before and during a public event. The reaction, even the breathing, of the audience is valuable feedback). 4. a workshop for writers that focuses on the short story as a literary form and the use of northern Minnesota landscape as a setting for stories.",,,6265,"Other,local or private",10265,,,,"Sheila J.

The greatest benefit to the community will be the resulting conversations related to mental health. It is my hope that exposure leads to sympathy and understanding, which leads to a destigmatization of mental health disorders. The goal of sharing my experiences through this work is to spark thoughtful conversations, to prompt people to ask questions, and to raise awareness of disorders which are often misunderstood and invisible. OUTCOMES: 1. By the end of this project, I will take a certification course with Duluth quilter Karen McTavish in order to learn quilting methods and skills. 2. I will use this knowledge to complete three, queen-sized quilts inspired by my experience with mental health disorders. 3. These quilts will be the next step in my artistic career as I will have a new body of work to apply to exhibitions with. COMMUNITY GOAL: To create work that raises awareness and promotes the destigmatization of mental health disorders. PERSONAL GOAL: I embrace the potential of the creative process as the locus for gaining knowledge. As I focus my attention on my experiences and internal battles, I learn more about myself and uncover memories and feelings that have been repressed. Through this work, I will continue healing and finding mechanisms to cope with my mental health disorders. In terms of executing the requirements of the grant: Since 2019, I have been working for non-profit art organizations. One of my primary responsibilities has been managing grant-funded projects by completing them in a timely manner, measuring outcomes, monitoring budgets, and completing grant reports. In terms of executing the project details: I am a very driven person who thrives with expectations and deadlines. I recently attended graduate school, earning a Master of Fine Arts with the completion of my thesis exhibition which was an installation of ten, eight-foot pieces of art that I made in about six months. I am confident that I am able to make work of this scale as many of the pieces took between 50-100 hours to complete. Additionally, one of these pieces was my first attempt at quilting methods, which inspired me to pursue learning the artform technically. SHORT TERM MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: I will know this project is successful and complete when I have finished the McTavish Quilt Studio certification course and when I have completed the three proposed quilts. I will create each quilt one at a time and l will ask Karen McTavish to provide critique of my completed quilts before moving onto the next one, taking note and learning to make the next quilt technically better than the one prior.

First, our general community will learn more about a fascinating time in Minnesota's history when our artists were valued enough to be put to work on creative projects by the federal government. Additionally, readers will be entertained at the same time they are learning about this fascinating time period. Second, our artistic community will learn more about Minnesota artists who practiced in our region back in the 30's and 40's in a wide variety of artistic disciplines, including visual arts, writing, theater, and music. Today's artists will realize how these early artists laid the framework for them to flourish and thrive today.With this work, I am attempting to create a comprehensive, entertaining and educational history book about Minnesota artists of the Arrowhead Region who were able to practice their craft during the Federal Art Project that focused on putting writers, visual artists, theater artists, and musicians to work after the Great Depression. I will be using the grant to fund our travel expenses throughout the Arrowhead Region of our state as we document the art pieces that have survived through the years, interview people who had a connection to the specific art piece and/or the artist who created the piece, and conduct thorough research on that specific period of time (1935-1943) for all artists and projects utilizing Federal Art funds in our state. My measurable outcome is to gather enough material to start work on a complete, specific book proposal that will be submitted to publishers, including the University of Minnesota Press and the Minnesota Historical Society Press. When I get a creative idea that intrigues me, I see it through to completion. Examples of this would be the Out of the Hat Plays I created for Renegade Comedy Theater (the first theater company I founded) and the Chicken Hat Plays that I created for Rubber Chicken Theater (the second theater company I founded). These Hat Plays consist of eight writers, eight directors, and a whole bunch of actors who create eight original one-act plays in 24 hours. I also created The Renegade Radio Hour and The Rubber Chicken Radio Hour, which were local versions of Prairie Home Companion, featuring local musicians and original comedy sketches. These shows aired live on KUWS Radio. Over the years, I have also researched, produced, wrote and performed original comedy shows for groups looking for entertainment. When working for a local ad agency, I conducted interviews and wrote long-form video productions for various clients.I will be sharing the research with test audiences of teachers of Minnesota history in middle and high schools, as well as regional artists in theater, writing, visual arts, and music. If the majority of these people feel the stories are interesting and have the potential to inform and entertain, we will have been successful and those specific stories will be included in the future book proposal. I will also work to utilize any suggestions they may have for us about the book.

We hope that instead of increasing division and condemning or excluding those who have failed, this piece will be an invitation. A difficult challenge, but within it a statement of inclusivity: We need all of us to make this place better. Join us.The primary goal of this work is twofold: to get our social and artistic message out to as many people as possible - and for that message to truly sink in and cause reflection. The first is clearly more quantitative than the second. We want to see the video take off and be shared widely both locally and nationally. We want to get press, reviews and features in local and national publications. And we want to hear feedback from people who were impacted by the work. People who stopped to think differently about consent and safety and predatory behavior. Men who stopped to think about accountability and their own culpability - and who plan to take action in response. On a personal level, my goal is to venture into the area of collaborating with musicians in a new way, outside of the stage. I hope this project will propel me into a different space and open up new opportunities to push myself artistically and collaborate with other musical artists in the video and music performance realm. I am a person with a track record of consistently finishing the things I start. I recently returned to school for a physical therapy degree, balancing many other life commitments with this massive continuing education undertaking, and graduating in the spring of 2021. I have choreographed several full musicals for the Duluth Playhouse and the Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids. I have choreographed and performed pieces for Dances on the Lakewalk every year. When I take on a project, I am diligent about completing it to the very best of my ability. I've also carefully selected the team that would be working on this project. Emily Haavik is a musician with two finished albums under her belt. She and Michelle Truax, a professional videographer at FOX 9 in Minneapolis, have previously completed a beautifully executed music video together. Jillian Rae and her husband Eric also have a rich history of recording distinctive Minnesota artists in their home studio.We will measure our quantitative reach in two ways: YouTube video plays, and shares on social platforms. We have a goal of 5,000 plays and 1,000 shares in the first month. Our goal for press is to get the project featured in local and regional publications like the Duluth News Tribune, the Local Current blog and the Star Tribune. We will also aim for national publications like No Depression and The Bluegrass Situation. As far as the qualitative impact, we plan to gather responses from comments on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram; tweets; and emails to the artists. We will also ask people in our networks to share the video with the intention of starting conversations, and have them send us the feedback they get. With this method we hope to get a good picture of the social impact the video is having. Personally, I will measure the impact on my artistic career by whether it has opened new doors for choreography and performance collaborations with other musical artists.",,,1305,"Other,local or private",5305,,,,"Brianna J.

Minnesota has a long history of handweaving, all the way from woven cedar mats of the Ojibwe people to linens from Scandinavian immigrants of the 1800s. While some people are familiar with handwoven work, we are losing what Glenn Adamson calls our ?material intelligence? - an understanding of the objects around us and how they're made. This work will reintroduce handwoven work to people in a new context with a fine art focus. These naturally dyed works will also educate the MN community about natural dye plants, and the color that exists in the plants around us. Seeing the range of hues available from plants we see every day will connect Minnesotans to their natural landscape. Finally, these works will create space to process the ephemeral as a community and connect to the life cycles ever present in our world. These works will be visually beautiful, with a depth of color and atmosphere created through the dye plants and the exposure to light. If the light is a powerful force for deterioration, how do these rugs sit in between finish and decomposition? Knowing they are made with all natural materials, how long will they last in this form? I hope this prompts people to think about the items in their life and what the life cycle of objects is, or should be.1.) Exploring how light can be used as a tool in woven and dyed work. I am aiming to use sunlight as a tool to fade and recolor certain areas of the weaving, and to make decisions responsively and intuitively as the designs are revealed. The sunlight deteriorates the color and the physical object, and with the artist's control, can be utilized as a way to create aesthetically pleasing compositional elements. 2.) To Include a more conceptual and process-driven component in my handweaving practice to create objects of beauty and inquiry. This project aims to create conversation around the ephemeral quality of an object and to observe how multiple phases can coexist at once. Creating these rugs depends strongly on process, from harvesting materials and dyeing yarn, to working with light and weather patterns. In the end, the artful display of these rugs' mutation brings awareness to the life cycles and seasonality of the natural world and the objects in our lives. I have over 6 years of weaving experience, and experience running a small business in production and commissions. I have woven a variety of rugs over the years and have learned techniques for weaving strong, durable, and well-designed rugs. Most of the rugs I have woven are weft-faced rugs, a dense rug that packs down the weft so that the warp is not exposed. I am confident that I can produce high quality weft-faced rugs, with the introduction of naturally dyed yarns. I have been naturally dyeing for over a year now, becoming comfortable and confident in understanding different fibers, scouring, mordanting, creating dye baths, and working with assists. Dyeing this quantity of yarn will be an area of growth for me, one that I have build a solid foundation to execute. Lastly, I have created several fine arts shows in the past, and feel confident in hanging and displaying my work, and the effort that goes into creating a cohesive body of work and displaying it well.1.) Exploring light as a tool: I will know I am successful if I am able to use these techniques of fading to create rugs with depth and atmosphere on the relatively flat plane of the weft-faced rug. I want the rugs to look and feel different than a work that is simply woven. 2.) Including more conceptual and process driven: This work will take shape over a year, and will be the longest and most process-driven work that I've ever created. I hope to make discoveries both on and off the loom, and create space for these pieces to evolve within this full process. I look forward to having a show and giving an artist talk about these works, and to engage in conversation with community members around the ephemeral nature of most everything around us.",,,350,"Other,local or private",4350,,,,"Christine A.

The lessons learned working with Tonja will be valuable tools to use in all of my future work. Measuring the outcomes of this proposal will be simple. I will have a clear body of work, directly affected by the tutorship of Tonja Sell. After my class, I will continue to draw and paint a group of people paintings which will culminate in a show of animal and human hybrid images at the Red Herring Lounge in Duluth, Minnesota from September 1st through November 1st.","I had 3 days of individual instruction from Tonja Sell as well as a 2-day group class on expressive pastels. During the individual instruction I spent three full days practicing drawing and painting the human form and human portraiture.

Goals: 1. Continue the transition from a chamber choir to a symphonic choir. While the number of singers is that of a symphonic choir, a new approach to rehearsing and performing must be learned and refined. 2. Increase the Chorale's visibility in the community through social media and marketing campaigns. 3. Continue to collaborate and partner with both local and non-local artists to provide unique experiences for our audiences, members, and collaborative partners. 4. Continue to increase new and consistent donor involvement by simplifying the giving opportunities available and offering a new opportunity (Singer Sponsorship). Measurable outcomes are retention of both staff and singers, audience size, and community support and involvement. The Board of the Arrowhead Chorale is in charge of all evaluations (grants, concerts, other activities, etc.). Evaluation of this grant as a success will include: 1. Increased audition attendance, returning singer attendance, and audience attendance. 2. Social media metrics (number of views, likes, etc.) and post-concert surveys (audience and singers) to gauge visibility and participation, as well as collect general feedback. 3. Continued collaboration with local and non-local musicians and groups to be measured by follow-up interviews and post-concert feedback surveys. 4.

The collective operates from a consensus building model of decision making, so that member groups have the ability to give feedback at anytime and have buy-in to the decision making process. Each member organization has an equal vote in decision making. As a group DDAC discusses decisions, votes on each issue, and revisits the effectiveness of each decision at subsequent meetings. We solicit feedback during a “check in and assessment” period at our bi-monthly DDAC meetings to discuss what’s working and what isn’t, through on-line surveys for members who can not attend meetings, and at our Annual meeting. In addition, DDAC established an Executive board that meets monthly, making day-to-day decisions on behalf of the larger group. The executive board is responsible to the collective, seeks approval for financial decisions and new initiatives, and reaches out monthly to each member to check in. DDAC’s Executive board serves in a function of connecting group members month to month – updating members to new developments within the collective, reaching out to each member to check in and see how things are working for them. This has developed accountability in relationships with members at a one-to-one level. In the months we do not have a larger group-DDAC meeting, we have a “social hour”, so that members can connect as common allies within the downtown community. These social meetings are open to friends and connections of DDAC members, serving as another way to network, taking the pulse of the community we serve. We encourage our members to ask visitors to the Downtown Duluth Arts Walk for feedback about their experience. Feedback is then brought to DDAC meetings, assessed and solutions are implemented. An early example of evaluating and addressing constituent needs, was streamlining our Arts Walk time to be between the hours of 5 and 8 pm for all locations. Based on evaluation of constituent feedback, we have also redesigned our brochures to be more user-friendly, consolidated multiple studios into the Pineapple Building Studios to be more accessible to visitors, removed venues not providing arts programming from our Arts Walk roster, and are considering moving from a monthly Arts Walk to a quarterly Arts Walk event to provide an enriched arts experience to our visitors. We hope to institute listening sessions with community and business leaders in the near future.The Downtown Duluth Arts Collective (DDAC) is a grassroots collective of artists, business people, and teachers. Additionally, we are individuals firmly rooted in our community through active participation in the arts and support of local resources. One area of major strength in this regard is the sheer number of members from our wide variety of venues. As we spread out and attend events around the community and engage in conversation about other facilities and happenings, the people at those events feel welcome at and more interested in participating in our Art Walks. Beyond the local creative community, we invite people of all interests and affinities to take part in our programming. As a group we have discussed and located techniques to break down the cliques or intimidation that ""outsiders"" might feel due to the fact that Duluth has such a close-knit community of artists and art enthusiasts. An example of this is when we discussed incorporating more events within events so that people who attend are not submersed into a potentially awkward social situation. Instead, they can participate in an activity or discussion surrounding the arts that encompasses the whole group rather than just those who already know each other. The DDAC's monthly art walks offer the public an eclectic array of enriching cultural and artistic experiences. The Art Walk's frequency, lack of entry fee, and open organizational structure gives the public access to quality interactions and connections with art and",,,20018,"Other,local or private",24031,,,,"Downtown Duluth Arts Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support Grant",,"We will advertise art walks, pay staff for marketing, and provide transportation between venues.",2020-01-01,2020-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Faith,King,"Downtown Duluth Arts Collaborative","23 W 1st St",Duluth,MN,55802,"(218) 428-8708",kingfv@d.umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-grant-41,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner.","Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community.",,2

Audience feedback is solicited regularly through online surveys. This is a new form of evaluation that was started in 2018. As we have received more responses, we started integrating this feedback in 2019. For example, a “classical pops” concert was added and a “rock and roll” show was taken away based on this feedback. DSSO has already seen an increase in ticket sales. DSSO also evaluates these sales to see if we have consistent attendance and are offering concerts our community wants to attend. We also use this info to help us figure out ideal dates and times that work best for performances. We also evaluate attendance at DSSO outreach events, which are free and focused on community participation. We evaluate how many people show up and if this attendance turns into ticket sales for the main stage performances. In addition to the above mentioned forms of program and performance evaluation, DSSA also regularly partners with the University of Minnesota Duluth to conduct more in-depth evaluations. These evaluations are designed and conducted by a group of University of Minnesota Duluth marketing students under the supervision of Rajiv Vaidyanathan, Ph.D.. Dr. Vaidyanathan is a DSSA Board member and has assisted in past program evaluations. Utilizing student and board member resources, the DSSA is able to keep evaluation costs to a minimum, while providing strong data for improving programs and accessibility measures. DSSA is constantly seeking funds in order to provide transportation assistance for community members, especially for the elderly in the Twin Ports. In the past, these funds have helped the DSSA partner with local assisted living facilities to provide tickets for residents interested in attending performances. DSSA plans to keep raising funds to provide transportation for elders, as well as, expand transportation for other community members who may have transportation barriers to attending performances. DSSA is also seeking funds to help with a project supporting more community engagement with organizations that serve diverse communities traditionally undeserved by the arts. If these funds are awarded, the project will launch in 2020 and be a partnership with local indigenous and black cultural organizations, local assisted living facilities, local nonprofits that work with low-income families. DSSO also provides free and discounted tickets regularly for performances. DSSO has a discounted student ticket price for every performance to encourage attendance from younger audiences. DSSO hosts outreach concerts annually that are designed to bring in new audiences at free or discounted rates. DSSO also regularly partners with community arts celebrations such as the local music festival Homegrown to host smaller performances in the community.

With more and more focus on smart phones and websites rather than paper, we want to always strive for that cutting-edge way for people to find and connect with us. Measurable outcomes include attendance at our events to include volunteer sign up as well as hits to our website. Increased festival attendance will also be a measurable outcome. Homegrown Music Festival staff will measure the outcomes from funding through feedback from those who use the website as well as through those who attend our college residencies. Keeping a robust volunteer pool is crucial to the success of Homegrown, and we rely heavily on college students to help fill these areas. Some college students also perform in the arts. These students could take a future spot on a Homegrown stage. At the UMD event we recently held, approximately 500 students were introduced to what Homegrown does; promotes local music. We also will watch closely at traffic patterns to our website and ask users what more they would like to see on our website.",,,103306,"Other,local or private",111090,,,,"Homegrown Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support Grant - Renewal",,"Operating Support 2020.",2020-01-01,2020-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Melissa,"La Tour","Homegrown Music Festival","128 Toledo St E",Duluth,MN,55811,"(760) 518-6758",melissa@duluthhomegrown.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-grant-renewal-6,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner.","Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Aubid: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Kathy Neff: musician, Director, Fine Arts Academy at the University of Minnesota-Duluth; Ron Piercy: jeweler, gallery owner; Emily Swanson: arts administrator at Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community.",,2

Board committees were aligned so each monitors one strategic priority. For example, a committee met with the conductor and reviewed the strategic plan. An outcome was a concert with strings students. Surveys are collected at each concert and student, parent and musician surveys are conducted annually. Evaluation is taken seriously and data is used to make small and large changes. In 2015, an improvement plan for the director of string instruction was implemented and he was eventually dismissed initiated by parent evaluations and feedback. In February of 2019, IOSP completed a program evaluation and planning process as described below in the INY activities. Kowitz and Mattonen mapped out action steps by month with specific activities for them. Actions taken include conducting school outreach in the spring, student handbook and a field trip in a time of the year identified as low energy. Surveys are collected at each concert and a concert report is shared with the board. Parent, student and musician surveys are conducted annually and used to guide programming. Our programs are progressive and match an individual’s skill level. Kowitz’s training in Music Pedagogy provides a foundation for designing curriculum. She has revised our student curriculum guide which provides a framework for teaching and orchestra placement. For example, to advance to our third level, students must be able to tune their instrument and play notes in second position. While the curriculum is defined, teachers are sensitive to the individual and make adjustments. Students receive progress reports in the spring and fall. They are scored on 14 criteria. Comments include relevant feedback to encourage the student and include a student goal. These tools allow us to determine if students are progressing as expected. ISOP is active in Itasca Networks for Youth (INY) a collaboration staffed by U of M Extension to improve the quality of youth after-school activities. Through this program ISP participates in an extensive annual program review including: 1) external program observation and written assessment 2) a review observation assessment and goals 3) A Program Review workshop to help make meaning from data including the observation assessment 4) an Intentional Program Design workshop including the establishment of long and short term goals and mapping out plans of action towards these goals IOSP provides a benefit by providing opportunities to hear, learn and perform orchestral music in Itasca County. Hear ISO makes orchestral music accessible to residents in a rural area. Financial support allows us to offer concerts at an affordable price of under $20/ticket. Opportunities for free performances are available including the Concordia Orchestra/ISP concert in October 2019.Feedback on surveys as well as the fact that we have almost 100 annual donations tells us that we are valued by the public. We provide outreach to area schools each year. Annually we send requests to six elementary schools offering to hold individual classroom visits with a short performance and a chance for students to try an instrument. Some schools elect to have a group presentation. In addition, we perform in the community. For example, in 2018 The Artaria Quartet performed at three area grade schools and held a free public concert with ISP students as part of a residency project. Learn Students travel to participate in our program because there are no other orchestra programs in Itasca County. This year we had a student join from Bemidji (69 miles away) because she had advanced beyond her violin teacher’s ability to teach after six years of instruction. Their parent evaluation form stated “I can see how our daughter progressed in not only technical skill, but in working with others in an orchestra to create music together.

That data is analyzed to determine areas or schools that we are not seeing represented in our programming. We then create clear objectives, strategies, and tactics to reach those areas. An example of this was when we identified a school not represented in our programming and strategically planned for a Prelude program to be held at this school, eventually resulting in representation from that school in our Resident Choir program. We also use assessment in qualitative formats to evaluate the quality of our programs. With the growth of our Prelude program, we have observed that our singers are coming into our Resident Choir program more prepared, resulting in higher-quality musicianship and family commitment to the program. Frequent collaborative invitations from other arts organizations attest to the artistic achievement and distinction of LSYC’s contributions. At the end of each season or special event (ie. Summer Sing), survey data is requested from audience members, families, and singers to provide input and assessment of LSYC's artistic offerings and operations. The staff and board will review these surveys with ideas and suggestions to be considered when planning for the next season. Some examples of improvements that were made from gathering survey data (feedback) include adaptation of concert times, increasing the opportunities for community building, and adding a special day tour experience for our intermediate choir. In addition to quantitative strategies of assessment and evaluation, the directors are consistently using their professional experience and knowledge to assess the level of quality our choirs. Frequent collaborative invitations from local and regional performing arts organizations attest to the artistic achievement and distinction of LSYC’s recent performance contributions. We also evaluate admission statistics annually, analyzing patterns or trends in reasons for withdrawal, annual retention, and work to improve programs to meet family needs. Social media also plays a crucial role in assessment. Audience members leave comments on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram based on their input about a show or outreach program, the accessibility of particular performance venues, etc. Even more than audience surveys, LSYC has found that authentic assessment comes from social media platforms that are accessible to anyone.One of LSYC’s values is INCLUSIVITY, encouraging the participation of singers and families of diverse backgrounds from throughout the area. It is part of our five year strategic plan to focus our efforts on increasing our efforts of inclusivity and diversity. We have a place and a program for all singers who wish to participate. While we audition singers for a placement in our Resident Choir program, if singers do not attain the level of ability required, they will be invited to participate in another LSYC introductory program such as Prelude. Evidence of this can be found in our Resident Choir Singer Handbook under audition and enrollment process. LSYC is the only youth choral non-profit organization in the Northland area. Our singers travel as far as 50 miles each week to participate in the Resident Choir program. LSYC's Honor Choir program has an even greater reach, expanding to a 100 mile radius of singers invited to join LSYC's choirs for a day of high-quality music making. LSYC's Honor Choir day also brings MN area music educators together for an opportunity to workshop, learn, share, and grow as professionals. LSYC's Cantemus choir recently performed at the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota’s State Conference to represent the Northland along with two other top choirs from the state. Cantemus received a standing ovation for their performance from choral music educators from across the state of Minnesota.

Irrespective of how we answer those questions, MSO's most important measurable outcomes for 2020 are these: • Restore our financial health • Secure artistic leadership for the 2020-2021 season • Develop a staffing structure that is sustainable and meets the needs of the orchestra Achieving these outcomes will position MSO for whatever future it pursues.

Our goal is to put on a successful festival. Two ethnic groups will perform, Serbian Kolo Dancers will be teaching their native dancing to attendees and there will be an exhibit on loan from the Saint Louis County Historical Society depicting life when the first immigrants from Eastern Europe settled this far western community. Concessions will be available for purchase featuring traditional Serbian and Slovenian cuisine. Measurable outcomes include but are not limited to: 1. Large numbers of attendees 2. We expect to be able to recoup our costs for the food products as well as make up the difference in our budget for total costs. 3. Bringing people from different areas/ backgrounds together to enjoy a fun afternoon. 4. Building social capital and community spirit. 5. Give opportunities to residents who would not otherwise have access to the arts Our goal is to have a successful festival that brings large numbers of the community together to learn about the sights, sounds and customs of Serbia and Slovenia through the joy of music and dancing. Social capital is an important factor to consider when making plans for events; we expect to see relationships being formed as people gather to experience something special. This as an opportunity for families to enjoy a day of music and fun at no cost. Opportunities are limited for those with limited budgets. Our goal is and always has been, to open vast opportunities to those who haven't had experiences such as this. This was a big reason for the redevelopment of the GND Recreation Area. We will know we are successful when we witness the large numbers of attendees we anticipate will attend. If concession sales are what we anticipate, this will be another indicator of success. We will discuss our sales and the system we used in 2017 and determine our path for 2018 based on how things go. Learning will occur as we evaluate all that went well and those things which could be done better. We plan to build on the lessons learned on this inaugural festival as we begin the planning process for the 2018 festival. Advertising is important and is another element which will be evaluated to use all options available to get the word out about our events. The GNDDA has had experience and success in the past with many different events. Failure is not an option.","The event we hosted on September 17 was a complete success. We estimate close to 350 enjoyed our first annual event bringing people from all over Duluth and the surrounding area all the way to Minneapolis. We were successful in showcasing both Serbian and Slovenian cultures through the music, food and dancing which was featured that day. We worked with the St. Louis County Historical Society to bring out exhibits depicting life of the early immigrants to our community from Eastern Europe. This cultural event brought even more awareness to the GND RECREATION AREA and PAVILION showing the community we are ready and able to bring the arts in all forms to this far western part of Duluth. Our committee has met and went over all aspects of how this day was handled and is ready for next year. We will improve on some aspects to make food lines run faster, will add additional musical performances and plan to expand food options as well.

This project commissions new works of art, poetry, and music, some that may happen in immediate response at a multimedia public performance to be held during Ely's Winter Festival on Sunday, February 4, 2018, at 2:00 pm in the Vermilion Community College Theater. Kenig will create artwork using collage and crayon drawings; Stouffer will use Kenig's art as inspiration for poetry; and Kenig, in turn, will compose acoustic guitar music in response to Stouffer's poems. There will be original poems created for the performance based on some of Stouffer's art or photography or written without visual prompt (solo on Stouffer's part) and original music from Kenig (solo on his part). The artists will create together one piece that combines everything: a piece of art that inspires a song written and performed together. We have two main goals in mind. First, this project will benefit two local artists. As a result of participation in this project, the artists will create new original art. This will be measured by the deliverables they produce. This project will also provide them an opportunity to expand and explore their artist boundaries; the depth of this growth will be measured through a post-project reflection. Secondly, this project will benefit our community as it will increase the propensity of our community members to participate in the arts. We will measure this by the number of participants at the performance. This project brings a new event to the Ely Winter Festival, enhancing the capacity of the Festival and Vermilion Community College. It fosters the image of Ely as an arts community, serves the need of locals for art-related events, and draws in tourists who might spend money at local businesses and on local art. This project helps fill a need on the VCC campus and in our broader community for arts-related activities that foster opportunities for self-expression. Importantly, this project invites an opportunity for children in the community and college students to participate in the arts. Students in K-12 and VCC students enrolled in a creative writing class will have the opportunity to engage with arts/writing, increasing their awareness.

The performance also included two pieces that Kenig and Stouffer wrote and arranged together in the form of songs. The performance also incorporated not only collaboration between the two artists and three mediums, but the audience as a poem at the end of the performance was created with the artists and the audience. The college creative writing class, the Ely Tuesday group and the Ely Rotary as well as a group of 20 individuals took part in intimate workshop/rehearsals leading up to the event.

This beautiful piece of equipment belongs to my current landlord. As of right now the Singer is resting in another property my landlord owns, and this spot will be rented out come mid-April. She has requested to sell this machine for $650 before the new tenants move in, for she no longer has any use for it and the new tenants don't want it in their space. This property that will be rented out is next door from my own (about 100 feet) so $50 has been allotted to hire muscle to move the cast iron machine to my home, which is where my studio is. The remaining potion, $150, has been reserved for a tune-up. The Singer needs a leather strap for the treadle, a new needle, bobbin and basic tune-up. I was shown some previous items this machine produced. She's capable of some magnificent work and am eager to put her to good use. The reason for the need to purchase this machine is my preferred living/studio situation. My studio is located in a small cabin that is completely off the grid. I find that by living without the distractions of electronics I am much more prolific in my creative output, however there are hurdles to jump over to ensure that I can meet product deadlines and keep an inventory of the things I produce. Since I cannot run a standard industrial sewing machine, the treadle provides the perfect solution. I have seen some of the items this treadle has produced and know that it will be the perfect companion for the leather goods I already make. To see my inventory grow much faster than just my hand-work can produce would be the ultimate reason for this machine. Not only that but to honor a sustainable way of creating beautiful and artfully done bags would honor the way I have chosen to live the last two years of my life. Beyond this, with the help of the sewing machine, I would love to finally see my items on display in boutiques and to create more of an online presence.","My sewing machine is up and running and at my house!

Specifically, I will learn to gouge raw, tube cane, use a cane hardness tester and apply that technique to the development of more consistent finished reeds, and learn how to adjust a bassoon cane profiling machine accurately. The method of measuring the outcomes of the project is a tangible, measurable result of completing 10-20 reed blanks and finished reeds during the time at the camp using the tools and the new techniques demonstrated in daily reed making classes. The finished reeds will be used in performance immediately, but most importantly, those 10-20 reeds and the information gleaned from the reed making sessions will result in a lifetime of more precise reeds that carry consistency in tone, pitch, and response. Looking forward, the finished product reeds will also help provide a model to future students and community bassoonists to develop better reeds as well. The goal will have been achieved if I am able to consistently apply the scrapes, adjustments and construction techniques to every reed I make going forward.","After attending the Glickman-Popkin bassoon camp, I have learned two new reed making techniques that have already resulted in more efficient reed making and have generated 10 new reeds in this new style(s). I have mastered these new techniques (specifically, beveling cane on the inside corners to achieve a greater seal and rounder tube on the finished reed, and using high-powered sanders to profile cane rather than the old way of machining it with a specialized lathe known as a profiler), and as a result, I will be able to teach this to high school and college students in master classes and reed making sessions in my travels throughout the state and in my own professional development.

The outcome will be to continue to have meetings at maximum capacity (20 people), further establish our reputation amongst filmmakers in the area, and possibly expand our meetings to twice a month, thus increasing membership. We use both Facebook and Meetup to measure our reach and membership. We are currently at 30 members on Meetup, and I am able to keep track of our attendance for each meeting. Our past meetings have been at capacity (20 per meeting), and I will continue to monitor our attendance and growing membership. As our membership grows (beyond 30 on Meetup and 90 on Facebook), we will be able to expand our official meetings and offer them more than once a month. This will provide greater use for the TV and allow us to screen more film projects and discover more filmmakers in the area. Our current meetings: One monthly meeting (first Thursday of every month) - 20 attending. Two Creative workshops (every other week) - 9 attending.

If we haven't come away from the event with a producer ready to go, we will come home with at least 20 names for follow-up communication. We will also add to our current spreadsheet of venue and presenter contacts with an eye toward venues beyond our current strengths in the Midwest. Qualitative evaluation will occur while we are at the conference. We will be taking notes during conversations, doing reflective writing each evening to examine the day's accomplishments, and debriefing each night by discussing each of our accomplishments during the day and planning the next day's priorities. Quantitative evaluation will occur once we arrive home (see below). As stated above, our hope is to come back to Minnesota with a producer signed on to our next recording. That is the best-case, and easiest to measure outcome. If no one has signed on, we will return with a list of 15-20 options which we will use to find our man or woman. In addition, we will continue to add to our working contacts spreadsheet including venue contacts, artists we meet, managers and agents we talk to, presenters, and other important industry contacts who could help to further our career. Our initial evaluation of the project showed us that we needed the assistance of Arrowhead Regional Arts Council in order to make this conference financially possible at this time.

The quality and sound of the guitar amp is a critical part of my overall sound. The archtop guitar I use for jazz is a Gibson L5 CES, a very expensive and fine instrument. Matched with the Rivera Jazz Suprema 25 the L5 guitar will deliver a warm professional quality sound. The goal is to obtain the necessary amp to allow me to delivering a quality sound and continue building my reputation as a jazz guitarist. I have considered the requirements of a new amp. These include lower wattage, lighter for portability, warm sounding, ruggedly built and on-board reverb. The Rivera Jazz Suprema 25 fulfills these requirements: 25 watts with 10 inch speaker, Spring reverb, 21 X 24"" and 49 lbs, All tubed warm sound. Other features include a direct line out to a PA for larger venues. The final evaluation is to use the amp in live situations, to see how it sounds and experience the ease of hauling it to performances. The amp will be expected to last five years.""","Evaluation 1.) Purchased amp. 2.) Played through amp with three different guitars: Gibson L5, Fender Stratocaster and Wilcox Atlantis. Since the amp is intended for jazz it has a clean (and pure) sound and is perfect for use with the Gibson L5 archtop guitar. The Rivera amp brings outs the warm jazz sound of the L5. The Strat sounds clean and twangy for playing country music and smooth for soft (70s) rock and folk/rock. The Wilcox Atlantis equipped with optical pickups offer a pristine unadulterated signal bringing out the warm characteristics of the amp. 3.) Use in the workplace. The Rivera amp with its 10"" speaker and 25 watts is sufficient for sound at the venues I played recently including, Moguls, Bluefin Bay, Gunflint Tavern and Papa Charlies. As I suspected the amp makes my playing sound great. The amp light and easy to transport and setup. This decreases the setup time.

Approximately 200 volunteers make Julebyen possible. The number of volunteers has grown every year. Attendance is another yardstick of success of Julebyen In 2013, its inaugural years, approximately 700 people attended. This number doubled in 2014 and doubled again in 2015 to 3,000 over Julebyen weekend. We measure outcomes by increase in: (1) attendance (Julebyen has doubled its festival goers yearly since its inaugural in 2013. Estimated attendance in 2015 was 3,000. (2) number of volunteers - 190 in 2015, (3) by increases in commercial sponsors and partners; most recently the North Shore Scenic Railroad donates a train to bring festival-goers from Duluth and return (4) media coverage (in 2015, Norwegian National Broadcasting sent a reporter and videographer from Norway to report on the Knife River Julebyen. The five minute feature that followed was aired to more than 3.5 million Norwegians in news broadcasts (5) in the growth of its outreach program to underserved children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Duluth and Superior. The privately-funded outreach pays the train fares and meal expenses for children to attend Julebyen. In 2015, 39 children with chaperones were able to experience a family-centered Christmas experience at no cost that featured games, craft making workshop where children can make a holiday gift, a treasure hunt, skating, sliding, storytelling. Key to the growth of Julebyen is (1) our ability to attract and retain more volunteers and (2) continued support from outside partners to keep Julebyen free to the public. The support we request is to help cover the cost of entertainment, which has been selected to enhance and tie to the theme of Julebyen.","Attendance increased from an estimated 3,000 in 2015 to estimated 3,500 - 4,500 in 2016. The increase can be attributed to, in part, extending the festival to three days. Train ridership between those traveling to Julebyen and return from Duluth, and two Troll Train trips, increased from 149 riders in 2015 to more than 400 in 2016.

Beadwork is a new process in my fiber / assemblage art form. The outcome of this goal is to add a new dimension and material, beading, to create art representative of the mysticism I experience deep in the woods of the Superior National Forest. The new art will immediately be exhibited in my local gallery and other local and regional exhibitions. The outcomes from this workshop are important to the materials, processes, and product necessary in my art. Materials: The fundamental nature of this workshop will teach me to improve techniques of peyote and brickwork stitches to create shapes and imagery. Materials: The accompanying conference is advertised as the largest bead consumer market in the world. I will learn about the materials that will best work with my art and have a place to purchase them. Processes: I will visit with other beaders and learn from their experiences and beadwork. The beadwork in various exhibitions at this conference will be inspiring. Product: My art will immediately show the results of this workshop. For example I am trying to make beaded shapes as elements in my designs and need one-on-one guidance how to make them. As a result my beaded shapes will look more like the images in my imagination. I punch holes in my copper shapes for threading beads. I will learn what threading materials work best with the sharp hard edges of copper. Upon my return I will immediately be able to produce art for the Kess Gallery, the juried July 2015 Greenstone Art Show and Sale, and the fall and winter art shows in Ely and in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. I will be able to use these work samples to apply for larger grants with Arrowhead Regional Arts Council and the Minnesota State Arts Board.","The instructor, Judy Walker, was an excellent instructor, providing handouts, and one and one instruction in the major stitches of peyote, brick, square, herringbone stitches. I can readily use these stitches in my beadwork. The class reviewed all the materials used in beadwork and the Marketplace at the Bead and Button Conference provided the vendors for purchase of the materials. Working with the manufacturers at the Conference allowed for more personal instruction. The other workshop participants, exhibitions, and casual conversations provided professional input and examples of bead work suitable for my own work, and well as inspiration for exploration of new ideas.",,1407,"Other, local or private",1600,,,,"Pamela J.

The main problem, however, is that the present machine has files on it going back to 2004.

Also, to connect and build relationships with other artists, gallery and venue managers, and receptive fans along the way. Behind these concrete objectives lies a desire to present this work in a variety of contexts, learn from these performances, and continually improve and develop the work. Questions for evaluation and reflection on this project: Was the scheduled performance and workshop at the Street Festival in Miami a success? How many students attended the workshop? Approximately how many attendees were there at the Street Festival performance? Approximately how many people viewed and heard the work during walks through the streets of the Wynwood District? Were other scheduled and impromptu performances given in Miami and/or at other locations along the return route? What were the approximate numbers for these performances? Were new connections made with artists, venue or gallery owners/managers, and fans? Were there any commissions for new work or invitations for future performances, or was there interest expressed along these lines? Were any new opportunities for collaborations with other artists identified? Reflect upon the presentation and reception of the work during this trip. Were there adjustments, improvements, or alterations made to the instruments, music, performance, and presentation of the work for these performances? Have any future adjustments, improvements, or alterations been suggested by this experience that could be made for forthcoming performances?","Scheduled performance and workshop at the Street Festival in Miami were successful and well received.

On each of two nights, approximately 250-300 people gathered on the street in front of the Harold Golen Gallery during the Robot Rickshaw performance. The second night, the police actually had to shut down the performance briefly as attendees were blocking traffic. Hundreds more were reached on walks through the streets of the Wynwood District.

This will include events anywhere in our building. Tracking of audience members will be harder as the atrium space is a transient space and not something that we generally sell tickets for.

I hope to engage viewers in local history and to increase my regional recognition. Measurable outcomes will be the number of new online followers, reviews of my work in the media, number of art sales, and invitations to be in future art shows and events. For my own artistic development, the grant will allow me time to hone existing skills and expand into new areas. I will be able to revisit painting as well as experiment with digital photography. Part of my return to painting involves questions of style and determining when a work is 'done.' My work before graduate school was pop influenced, with bold solid areas of color and hard edges. In my Master of Fine Art program I deconstructed my process into a more 'painterly' approach rather than a graphic design one. Since having children I found collage better suited to the small snippets of time I have, and I look forward to returning to large-scale painting. I will keep a record of local media, blog, and other mentions or reviews of the work. I will note the number of new followers of my blog and twitter accounts, and visitors to my website. I will likewise track any invitations to future art shows or collaborations, keep a sign-in/comment book at the opening reception, and note any income such as art sales, jobs or commissions deriving from this opportunity. Red Herring may also keep door counts which I can tally during the month of the show to estimate an overall number of viewers; owner Bob Monahan estimates 1,000 new visitors within a month period, plus regulars. After completing several new paintings I will gain insight into my current working process, and what direction my continuing work might take. My working theory is that line and edge are still graphic elements important to me, while color uniformity is not so critical. I've taken this approach in collages previously. Rather than smooth areas of color, I envision more variation, possibly including increased texture with use of a palette knife. I am also re-using some older canvases, and exploring letting various aspects remain or show through - this fits thematically with the layers of local history I depict.","Eighty attendees of the opening reception, with additional audience count for the closing reception/artist talk scheduled for April 2nd (the show was extended).

Do I have the ability to produce a curated selection of my images to convey my struggle with depression while highlighting the beauty of the travels I was on during that time? Will it strike conversation about such a thing? And is my art something viewers are interested in? More specifically: the photos already shot can I produce these prints in time, show it to at least 2000 people, and make enough money to cover gear rental for my next trip. For setup, it's rather clear: can I as an artist provide an aesthetically interesting and thought provoking installation in a rather short time-frame for installation and printing? If I am able to complete the installation with all the photos successfully printed (colored properly etc.) and hung in the time frame allotted to me (approximately four hours) I would consider the installation process a success. Exposure is approximately quantifiable: Perk Place has offered to track transactions through the installation to provide an approximate count on the quantity of those who have seen the art. Opening night will also provide rather accurate number of viewers based on those who attend the event. Interest, while somewhat qualitative, is mainly measured through sales of the prints and conversations with those viewing the photos. If anyone is interested in the quality and style of my art, something will sell. Hopefully, during my many days using the shop as an 'away office' from home, I will be able to strike up conversations with those viewing it as well. Also, if this grant is awarded the cost for installation is rather minimal: food, business cards, and time put forth for installation are all that I would 'need' to cover to call it a success. That being said, multiple print sales, anything over 25% of the printed images sold would be an overwhelming success given the venue and being a 'new' artist in the area.","Setup: The installation of the project was completed successfully within the allotted time allowed by Perk Place.

Firstly, the Hip Hop workshops will allow each participant the time, space, mentorship and resources to begin the lifelong process of exploring the edges of their artist identity. Secondly, engaging in the dynamic process of Hip-Hop artistry, participants will realize their ability to affect change in their environments. Thirdly, Hip-Hop is inseparable from knowledge and critical thought, and participants will grow in their curiosity to attain and practice both. Fourthly, participants will come to respect and appreciate a diverse range of honest perspectives, as witnessed in the creative truths expressed by those who share their artistry throughout the month. Finally, with the support of a positive Hip Hop community, participants will grow in their sense of self-esteem. Our first evaluation tool will utilize participant sign-in sheets. Participants must complete a sign-in sheet at both workshops. Additionally, a mandatory sign-up sheet will be provided for youth who want to perform during the Park Jam. Multiple conclusions will be drawn from this data. For one, the number count of participants will measure how well we connected with the interests of the local youth. Secondly, we will observe the overlap of participants who attended the workshops and those who perform at the Park Jam. This will provide us with the percentage of youth who attended the workshops and by the end of the month decide to perform. The number of overlap will reflect the success rate of four of our five learning objectives. In performance, the participant affirms their identity as an artist for both themselves and for those who witness and/or hear about their performance. Secondly, the performing participant will exhibit their realization of self-knowledge and embody the level of knowledge that they have attained in their particular artistic medium. Furthermore, in order to share oneself with members of an audience, the participant must feel a comfortable and confident sense of self. Lastly, during their performance the participant will affirm for him/herself that they affect change in their environment. Success of all five objectives will also be determined by a questionnaire completed by teaching artists after their workshop (attached).","We had a cumulative total of 88 different youth participants who penned their names on the sign-in sheet throughout the course of the four workshops and final Hip-Hop jam. Of these 88 participants, 8 performed short emcee stints during the final Hip-Hop jam. The most frequently mentioned recommendation from the post-workshop teaching artist survey, was the need for more workshops on each element to provide youth participants with more mentored practice and more intentional time to dig deep into each element's particular form of artistry. Looking forward to next year, a more effective format may be to focus the entire month's workshops on one or two elements, so we focus our time and energy with the youth into a deeper exploration of the medium(s).",,680,"Other, local or private",1000,,"Mike Racette, Sara Fitzgerald, Eric Montgomery, Jeanni Stenson, Rick Sundquist, Diane Walkowiak, Kris Ridgewell, Dianne Eider, Pat Anscomb, Erin Maniak, Mark Connor, Jessica Johnson, Anne Rawlins, Jared Walker, Sunny Helbacka",0.00,"Valley Youth Centers of Duluth","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Quick Start Grants",,"Hip-Hop May 2016",2016-05-06,2016-05-27,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Russ,Salgy,"Valley Youth Centers of Duluth","720 Central Ave N",Duluth,MN,55807,"(651) 399-9632 ",ryfranke13@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/quick-start-grants-31,"John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.","Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, Robert DeArmond (218) 722-0952 ",1

This project would offer an opportunity for artistic growth for McTavish and Ramon through high quality documentation of their work and the opportunity for them to show work outside a traditional gallery space. Anne Dugan, the project director, will do the majority of the evaluation work. She will design the evaluation plan, administer the evaluations, analyze data, and write the final report. Dugan has experience teaching in higher education and evaluating arts programming through work as a curator. The evaluation plan will include keeping attendance records and asking visitors to fill out a short evaluation that will include basic demographic information as well as qualitative responses. For visitors willing to share contact information Dugan, will conduct follow up interviews with at least 5 and up to 15 participants to get more in depth feedback about the project. Dugan will also work closely with the artists and conduct one on one interviews before and after the project with an attention towards how the project fulfilled their artistic growth and how the space allowed them to explore their creative practice. Finally, Dugan has invited, and obtained commitment, from two twin cities arts writers and two local writers to visit the exhibition. The written reviews will serve as part of the arts quality evaluation assessment.","Cecilia Ramon and Kathy McTavish created site specific work for a joint exhibition in the Free Range Film Barn from August 26 through September 3.

Activities will be concentrated in a 20 x 20' tent bump out to the Gnome Dome tent and presented by artists skilled in writing and illustrating. The bump out will be known as the ""Julenissen Klasser"" (Children's Christmas Class). GOALS are to: 1. Perpetuate the culture inherent in the Julebyen festival; Scandinavian arts, story-telling, myths, legends,skills, 2 Enable artistic interpretations and learning of Nordic history, mythology, culture and values. MEASUREMENT TOOLS: 1. The number of children (and their families) who partake in classes (as a guide, in 2017, 350 children participated in Nordic Christmas gift workshops. 2. The number of adults who judge the works of Klasser students and hear children read their stories. The initiative to add the ""Julenissen Klasser"" component began with Julebyen 2017. It marked the fifth successful year of Julebyen. At that point, the Julebyen committee critiqued all activities and concluded the obvious most popular were those directed to young families. For examples: 1. The Nordic Christmas gift workshop, which is offered every year, attracted 350 children and consumed about $1000 in craft supplies, all of which was uncompensated as Julebuyen is free to the public. 2. The ""Troll Train"" trip to Troll Canyon in partnership with the North Shore Scenic Railroad was initiated in 2016 and carried 164 passengers. In 2017 three excursions carried a total of 614 passengers. 3. In 2017, Julebyen doubled its footprint with the addition of ""Troll Village"" kitty corner from festival grounds. It offered additional attractions for children and featured an ""Artists Corner"" for authors and illustrators of books for both children and adults. Several children's authors sold out on the first day of and were forced to take books off their retailer's shelves for Sunday. Because of the unprecedented success of family activities, and festival-goers infatuation with Norwegian mythology, we are quite certain ""Julenissen Klasser"" will be another success. MEASUREMENT TOOLS: 1. The number of children who partake in classes (in 2017, 350 children participated in Nordic Christmas gift workshops. 2. The number of adults who view and judge the works of Klasser participants.","The most measurable outcome of the Julenissen Klasser (Christmas Santa Classes) component would be the number of students that partook in the story writing and illustrating classes, and the class in puppetry. Kelly Dupre, instructor of the writing and illustrating class, had one 90 minute class on both Saturday and Sunday. She had a total of 20 students for both days. Kimberly Baerg, puppet designer and builder of Joy Filled Puppets, held four one hour classes over the weekend. She had total of 15 students who demonstrated on stage how to manipulate a puppet and create a character voice - then present a traditional Norwegian folk tale puppet play to those attending Julebyen. We were disappointed in attendance and feel it may have been cannibalized by the children's craft workshop that took place nearby. The craft workshop attracted between 450 - 500 children over the weekend, and was free, as opposed to a charge of $10 for the writing and illustrating class and $5 for the puppetry classes. The Julebyen committee felt the cost of supplies for these classes necessitated the charges. We promoted the Julenissen Klassers on our web site and in our publicity. Others who benefited from Julenissen Klasser were those who were entertained by the new puppeteers who presented a Norwegian folk tale puppet play on stage. The stage backdrop designed and illustrated by Ann Gumpper, our third artist, was a great asset to the kids on stage who told their stories. Her backdrop of trees, mountains and fjords where enjoyed by many, and was a great backdrop for parents and grand parents to photograph their children and grand children. While Julenissen Klasser attendance was not as expected, we do realize this was a first year initiative and will hopefully improve in years to come. There were many pictures taken of the children who appeared on stage and we can hope they will appear in social media and help build future attendance.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",1418,"Other,local or private",5762,,,,"Knife River Recreation Council","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Create a cultural and artistic learning experience for children in a special ""Julenissen Klasser"" tent bump out during Julebyen 2018.",2018-11-30,2018-12-02,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jacqulin,Sebastian,"Knife River Recreation Council","199 Alger Smith Rd PO Box 266","Knife River",MN,55609,"(218) 834-7138 ",vongoertzpaul@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Lake, St. Louis, Itasca, Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-45,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Johnnie Hyde: choreographer and dance teacher, publisher; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Keiko Williams: musician, Executive Director at Donald G.

Our goals for the high school instructors include: to provide collaboration between teachers and Festival staff, to provide a round-table discussion to address concerns the teachers may have, and opportunities for the high school choral directors to observe and learn new teaching techniques from the Festival staff. Our goals for the communities involved are: To be able to attend a high quality choral concert, to take pride in their students and to witness what cooperation can achieve.

It was a masterpiece worthy of the Broadway stage, especially the performances of Gabriel Mayfield, Kyliah Thompson and Julian Williams. - Expenses were much greater than estimated because of unanticipated stipends, travel costs and set materials/supply expenditures. - We performed in (3) communities. - The performances were historic: the first time an August Wilson play was performed in northern Minnesota; the first time an all-black, locally recruited cast presented an adult main stage production in northern Minnesota - We incurred a fiscal year loss. - Friendships were created among cast and tech. crew - forever.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",30377,"Other,local or private",34721,1379,,,"Lake Superior Community Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Fences by August Wilson play performances March 27, 28, 29; April 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 2018 in Duluth, Two Harbors and Silver Bay, MN.",2018-02-01,2018-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paul,Deaner,"Lake Superior Community Theatre","137 Banks Blvd","Silver Bay",MN,55603,"(218) 353-7509 ",deaner@lakeconnections.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Cook",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-47,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Johnnie Hyde: choreographer and dance teacher, publisher; Anthony Kuznik: retired music teacher and school administrator, arts advocate.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2

OACC describes artistic success as 'encouraging vitality.' We strive to make meaning with participants by connecting them with art forms the express universal truths and increase their belief and capacity to create what they envision in their own lives and in communities. We subscribe to Le Corbusier's definition of art: 'You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: ""This is beautiful."" Art enters in.' Participants will have improved skills for appreciating art in various forms, deeper understanding its relationship to history and culture, and greater ability to make connections between art and disciplines and endeavors outside the arts. We will measure improved skills for appreciating the specific art form offered, deeper understanding its relationship to history and culture, and greater ability to make connections between the art form and disciplines outside the arts with before and after assessments. Participants' satisfaction will be measured by tracking willingness to refer others to future OACC events. We will also gather information about current volunteer activity, particularly in support of arts related projects in Carlton County. In addition to their survey responses, participants' advice and recommendations for strengthening OACC programs are gathered through frequent focus groups (also known as dinner, coffee, walks and other informal gatherings with neighbors and friends where we seek their candid advice and counsel). Because OACC makes extensive use of social media, participants' reviews will be continuously sought and gathered on various platforms. Because OACC is intensely focused on inclusion of diverse populations, data about race and ethnicity will be gathered as well. Results will be summarized for review with the OACC Board, and future programs will be adapted and designed based on this information.","Measurable outcomes were identified as 1) improved skills for appreciating the specific art forms offered; 2) deeper understanding of the art forms' relationship to history and culture; 3) greater ability to make connections between the art for and disciplines outside the arts.; 4) satisfaction with the artistic experience. Before and after assessments indicated positive changes in all participants' skills and understanding related to the first three outcomes, and positive responses to the question about willingness to refer others to the events provided positive data about all participants' satisfaction with the artistic experience. In addition, participants' advice and recommendations have been incorporated into the design of OACC's programs. Volunteers are now actively engaged in designing Cookin' at the O, Magnolia Salons, and Honey Bee Festival. Participants' advice was to discontinue Movies at the O; while it was a pleasant entertainment experience in a unique setting, it did not meet OACC's artistic success indicators.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",115156,"Other,local or private",119500,3500,,,"Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community First Year Art Projects.",2018-07-06,2019-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Emily,Swanson,"Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community","604 Chestnut Ave Oldenburg House",Carlton,MN,55718,"(218) 384-4835 ",emily@oacc.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Carlton, Pine, Aitkin, Itasca, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-52,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Johnnie Hyde: choreographer and dance teacher, publisher; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Keiko Williams: musician, Executive Director at Donald G.

The degree of engagement with the public is easily observed by EWF board members who will be in the park throughout the time when the carving is taking place. We will sponsor several group meals that are attended by artists and board members, and we will solicit feedback from artists informally at those events. Additionally, we will evaluate our success by soliciting feedback from other arts organizations (e.g., Northern Lakes Arts Association, Ely ArtWalk), the business community, and the general public. The first board meeting following the completion of the Festival is always open to the public for the express purpose of evaluation. We obtain lodging tax information from the Chamber of Commerce. Because lodging taxes are collected monthly, not weekly, it can be difficult to sort out the impact of the Festival itself, but year-over-year trends indicate a long-range positive impact.","Measurable outcomes were: - To maintain or increase artist participation - To engage the public in the artists’ work - To create an atmosphere for collaboration and teamwork - To be family-friendly - To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts - To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists - To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry Forty-five artists participated this year, which is down from the 2018 total of 53 snow carvers. There were 16 sculptures in the park, and seven more at Fortune Bay, the Grand Ely Lodge, the Front Porch (EWF headquarters), Art and Soul Gallery, and Veterans on the Lake resort. On the morning of Feb. 9, volunteers interviewed 51 people attending the initial days of the Winter Festival in Whiteside Park. Fifteen of these survey respondents reported that they “did talk with the sculptors,” and learned about the tools and techniques, how carvers grid a sculpture, how they develop their concepts, and how the snow varies from year to year and with the temperature. This indicates a high degree of engagement by the public. Twenty-eight of the people surveyed resided in Ely. Twenty-three people resided outside of Ely in California, Wisconsin, and cities across the state of Minnesota. Adventure Inn reported that they had “pretty much a no vacancy and reservations came in starting at the end of December. Many happy guests as winter was perfect this year.” Anecdotally, we have heard reports that the number of visitors may have been down in 2019 due to bad weather in the Twin Cities, but we do not have a way to measure overall attendance. EWF surveyed Symposium artists and learned that 89% of carvers felt welcomed and supported by the other artists, while 81% felt they had time to meet and connect with other carvers. Based on these results, we believe this year’s festival met all the goals except maintaining or increasing artist participation.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",14126,"Other,local or private",18470,1446,,,"Ely Winter Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"2019 Ely Winter Festival.",2018-09-01,2019-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Linda,Ganister,"Ely Winter Festival","423 Sheridan St E Ste 2",Ely,MN,55731,"(218) 365-7669 ",linda@elywinterfestival.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-53,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Johnnie Hyde: choreographer and dance teacher, publisher; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Keiko Williams: musician, Executive Director at Donald G.

In 2012, Chalk.a.Lot was established as a one day event with 25 registered artists and 100 art viewers. This event has grown immensely; as of 2016 Chalk.a.Lot had over 200 registered artists and over 3500 art viewers. We measure our success based on inclusivity and community participation, this is measured based on community attendance as well as registered artists. We rely heavily on casual and direct feedback. Testimonials in support of the event have been overwhelming.","Chalk.a.Lot sidewalk chalk festival started in 2012 as a one day event, on one closed block that has grown to a three day event, with two closed city blocks and outreach clinics to the area schools. We are thrilled to watch the event grow more inclusive with the addition of a variety of free activities. As we grow, we continue to refine and expand this successful event. We have demonstrated a history of being fiscally responsible and capable of producing a successful event. In 2018 we hosted: - 96 registered soft pastel artists - 2000 art lovers viewing the art and enjoying the festival - 8 participants at the pre-event chalking clinics - 15 musicians and street performers - 8 free art activity booths - 2 regional chalk artists - 1 nationally recognized feature chalk artist.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",4306,"Other,local or private",8650,,,,"Two Harbors Area Arts and Events AKA Chalk.a.Lot","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Chalk.a.Lot Two Harbors Sidewalk Chalk Festival.",2018-03-01,2018-09-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Michelle,Gratton,"Two Harbors Area Arts and Events AKA Chalk.a.Lot","1640 Hwy 2","Two Harbors",MN,55616,"(218) 590-4532 ",chalkalot2h@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Lake, St. Louis, Hennepin, Cook",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-55,"Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Johnnie Hyde: choreographer and dance teacher, publisher; Anthony Kuznik: retired music teacher and school administrator, arts advocate.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2

The forest fires of October 1918 were the worst disasters ever to befall the state, both in lives lost and in property destroyed. The ordeal affected thousands, and the experience left its mark on a whole generation. The fires serve as the County's watershed: for decades afterward people spoke of the past as either before the fires or after the fires. The goal, then, is to create a volume of poetry/prose. County denizens whose ancestors perished in the fires or whose interests inspire them to participate will use stories of fire victims--using archival records and documentation--to create an original piece for the book. Writing workshops will assist participants as they work on their submissions. Artists will provide graphics for the project, which will culminate in a Readers Theater presentation and memorial ceremony open to the public. My own inspiration and enthusiasm for the project, as well as my experience as an editor and writer, will enable me to champion the project and enlist area writers and artists and community members to research and/or compile memories and accounts for the creation of original works on fire victims for the book. Our ability to solicit contributions and the high interest County communities already possess, along with a rich mine of denizens who already write and journal, will fuel the project's success. The participation of the County Seat Theater will provide a venue for the Readers Theater performance and memorial for the Centennial event. Countywide participation and interest in this compelling project will generate sales for the book during the 100th anniversary year and years afterward. An evaluation of the event will be distributed at the time of the event, garnering the community's response to our project.

Opportunities to see live performances are limited in our locale, so audiences are eager to see and hear live performances. The Community Spring Musical is a seasonal highlight for the town and area. In addition, the performers in the musical are able to develop relationships between and among community constituents while also developing and honing their singing, dancing and acting talents. The success of the Spring Community Musical can be measured quantitatively by attendance and qualitatively by the feedback from audience members, in both formal and informal responses. Performers will have an opportunity to reflect on their development as creative artists through verbal and written feedback to directors and the guest presenter. Ely Community Spring Musical directors and cast members, and local performing artists, will have an opportunity to work with a movement expert to enhance their body posture and alignment and learn to incorporate healthy movement in their performances. Cast members will learn new expressive movement through the workshops and in a guided rehearsal with the guest movement teacher. Participants in the workshop sessions will have opportunities for experimenting with and using the techniques from the workshops in sessions and in subsequent rehearsals. Participants will receive verbal feedback and reinforcement of movement techniques during sessions from the presenter (Lightner) and in rehearsals from the directors who will have had some extra training sessions with Lightner. Follow-up verbal and written feedback from the workshops will allow the participants to reflect on their experiences and enable the presenter and the directors to assess the impact of the workshops on the participants.","This spring's musical was an artistic success and exceeded our hopes and aspirations for cast development and ""spectacle"" enhancement, which were the primary focuses of the ARAC grant monies requested. Our Guest Presenter, Babette Lightner, worked with the group on a Thursday evening rehearsal, did a director's workshop on Friday, a group workshop on Saturday morning, solo sessions on Saturday afternoon, and a follow-up group rehearsal on Sunday evening. During all of these sessions, Ms. Lightner continuously provided verbal feedback to the participants and asked for feedback from the participants. The performers themselves could feel the difference in their bodies through freedom of movement and in their voices through ease of production. The Lightner Technique invests in developing self-awareness through a series of guided questions, physical sensations and personal revelations. Measurable outcomes included better dancing, singing and acting because of the workshops, which was noticeable not only to the directors and other cast members, but to the performers themselves. In addition, participants provided feedback via a written form (see attached samples). Based on cast feedback and the written evaluations, the guest presenter was a HUGE success for the cast participants (photos attached). Visually, this was one of the most exciting and creative shows we have ever produced (please see photos), which we couldn't have pulled off without the extra ARAC funding for supplies and stipends. The ""Steampunk"" look of the set and costumes and the use of rear projections in our ""Wheel of Fortune"" was brilliant. Immediate audience remarks and comments for weeks afterwards raved about the set and costumes. Our only disappointment was our attendance numbers and ticket sales were down, and did not even meet projections, which is too bad, because those folks missed a good show.

Additionally, we will evaluate our success by soliciting feedback from other arts organizations (e.g., Northern Lakes Arts Association, Ely ArtWalk), the business community, and the general public. The first board meeting following the completion of the Festival is always open to the public for the express purpose of evaluation. We obtain lodging tax information from the Chamber of Commerce.

I am always heartened by how much different teams look out for each other; whether it's to borrow a tool, or to help lift heavy snow blocks. The non-competitive atmosphere fosters a seriously creative community.” She went on to say, “I am not only a sculptor, but a mom.

Our plan is to use website metrics that measure audience size and reaction to judge the overall quality of our plays. To do this, we will need to equate the quality of our work with how the audience interacts with it. Primarily, we'll be using metrics from our podcast host site Spreaker.com to help us judge how our show is being received. The two main metrics on Spreaker.com are 'Downloads' indicating the number of times our shows have been downloaded, and 'Live Listens' indicating the number of times someone has clicked the 'play' button to listen to one of our shows while visiting our page on the Spreaker.com site. We will chart these two metrics over the year hoping to see growth in both statistics. In addition, we offer memberships to our listeners. We hope to see a 10-percent increase in memberships this year. In addition, we began a program for direct audience support on the crowd funding site Patreon in 2016.

While past semesters have focused on more traditional sacred choral music, this music will give an opportunity to a different type of singer. One long term goal is to encourage lifelong participation in musical ensembles. Many students participate in musical activities during school years, but feel they don't have an opportunity to continue after they graduate. All participants will benefit from the cross-generation effort of producing a concert for all ages. Chorus members and students will learn and practice new vocal techniques required for a different style of music. Dance students will learn another musical style and form of dance. To measure learning and satisfaction, collaborating directors, performers and audience will be surveyed and asked for feedback. Students in the High School choir will also be asked for feedback on their experience. The number and age of musicians and audience will also serve as a measure of Itasca Community Choir's growing reputation for delivering quality choral music. We hope to increase performer and audience under the age of 50 by 20%. To scrutinize the choral techniques and overall performance, at least two written critiques are solicited from respected area directors and musicians. Suggestions from those providing feedback are considered and acted upon by the Board. Director Evans and the board review the concert via the video recording of the concert produced by Itasca Community Television. High School Choir and dancers will also be able to review their performance using the video recording for their own learning opportunities. New for this concert: Ushers will be asked to gauge the age of our audience to determine if our younger chorus is being followed by younger audience as we seek to grow the appreciation for quality choral music. To assess the effectiveness of different mediums (from social media, to word of mouth, or traditional print media), ushers will also be instructed to ask attendees how they heard about the concert. Overall the Board is looking for a positive response no lower than 90%.","Actual Measurable Outcomes 66 singers participated, up from 47 in the spring. Most had not sung with Chorus previously. Approximately 30 percent of the chorus members are under 40. 51 Students from the Deer River Schools Choir participated in the concert 8 students from Pure Energy Dance performed choreographed routines for 2 songs. 329 adults attended the concert, 53 students attended the concert. Because of the type of music performed, a selection of Broadway hits new and old, the number of participants in the Chorus increased, and younger people joined. According to the results of a survey of the Chorus members, 15% of the respondents said they joined this term because of the type of music being performed. Many of the new members are younger. Dance students had the opportunity to dance a choreographed routine accompanying a large group on Stage at the Reif performing Arts Center. This was a new experience for most of them. They had not performed with a choral group, and they had not performed on stage at the Reif in front of a large audience. They did a fantastic job. The dance instructor coached them and rehearsed them on the dance routines in their classes, then they joined the chorus on stage for a dress rehearsal several days before the concert, and again during rehearsal time just before the concert. The dancers added color, movement and visual appeal to the concert.

For this particular event, we have these specific goals: 1) to present a professional piece of music theater to a remote, rural audience; 2) to build relationships between/among entities: Northern Lakes Arts Association, Northern Delicious CSA, Mixed Precipitation, and the communities of Ely, Babbitt and surrounding areas; 3) to expose rural audiences to new musical genres presented in a creative format; 4) to build awareness of, exposure to, support for, and the viability of sustainable, community-supported agriculture; 5) to support creative performing artists of Minnesota; 6) to enjoy fresh, flavorful creatively-prepared produce in a farm setting; 7) to explore themes of fear, displacement and hospitality to strangers; 8) to build our audience and presence in the community. The methods to measure outcomes will include attendance and ticket sales to assess breadth of audience impact, including new and renewed memberships, and an audience survey to assess the depth of the experience. ","In our grant proposal, Northern Lakes Arts Association (NLAA) projected 150 adults and 30 children would attend the event. We exceeded adult attendance and had around 200 adults and about the anticipated 30 kids. Because Mixed Precipitation does not charge for attendance (but takes donations at the ""door"" --actually this was the path to the back field in this case), it was hard to know exactly how many people were there, but based on a quick ""head count,"" attendance exceeded projections and were significantly higher than last year. We did not track membership in Northern Lakes Arts Association at the event, but we did have a table with membership information available at the venue and enrolled some people after the event who had taken membership information. We did do a follow-up survey (please see attached sample comments) and responses were overwhelmingly positive. Audience members loved the farm venue, loved the live singers and instrumentalists, liked the story-line and sustainability message, and mostly liked the food choices (some of the kids weren't too enthusiastic about some of the food).

Group practices will be held on a daily basis throughout the week for a Symphonia (less experienced players alongside professionals) and for the adult performing group. Also, throughout the week, sectionals will be held daily for each string category, e.g. first violin, second violin, viola, and lower strings sections. Sectionals will be led by the guest artists. Individual practice is expected. The week culminates in a concert performance open to the public. Tangible outcomes will be measured by number of participants attending as well size of audience. Area residents and tourists, as audience, will have the opportunity to hear a live orchestral performance of major string works. Local musicians, after a week of intense rehearsal and mentorship will improve their skills and creative thinking. The project will be evaluated by the number of camp participants, as well as size of the audience at the performance. Comments from the audience will indicate the success of the performance. We project that we will have standing room-only at our final concert at the end of the week. It is anticipated that the musicians will be excited to perform and this special feeling will lead to rejuvenation for the 2017-18 season.

If the building is heated throughout the year, and there is sufficient room, the original will be included in an interpretive exhibit. If the building is not temperature controlled, the original mural will find a permanent home in Hibbing and a high resolution duplicate, created by CPL Imaging of Duluth, will be included in the interpretive exhibit. The St. Louis County Historical Society and John Ongaro, St. Louis County's Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, along with Commissioner Michael Jugovich, are responsible for exhibit development, funding and placement.

Two of these are Pages per Session, which records how many pages of your website visitors viewed during their visit, and Average Session Duration, which measures how long visitors stayed on your site before leaving. At the time of this application, our Page/Session reading was 1.51 and our Average Duration stood at 50 seconds. Both of these metrics have been static for some time. I believe we can raise our Page/Session to 1.6 and our Average Duration reading to over a minute. We are a dramatic arts company. We tell stories that are rendered as sound files. When people come to our website, we get them listening to our shows as quickly and as easily as possible. It follows that if our stories were more engaging, the audience will listen longer.","For measurable outcomes, we selected listener statistics as the means to measure the success of our shows. The main goal we set was to increase our podcast listenership by 10% over the entire season. Our overall number of podcast listeners decreased by 14%, but that was largely due to low numbers early in the season when many of our listeners had not yet migrated their podcast feeds to the new server. However, listener statistics for the month of May, the final month of the season, were up 26% from May of the previous year. I think this shows that we exceeded our goal of 10% growth.",,5604,"Other, local or private",10163,,"James Yount, David Erwin, Sheila Tatone, Victoria Olson, Tom Bement, Declan Lowthian, Steve Windels",,"Icebox Radio Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grants",,"Icebox Radio's 2015-16 Podcast Season",2015-09-01,2016-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeffrey,Adams,"Icebox Radio Theater","PO Box 46","International Falls",MN,56649,"(218) 283-5570 ",iceboxradio51@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Koochiching, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grants-14,"Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Mark King: actor, theater reviewer, musician; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior.","Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; Peter Pestalozzi: furniture maker, wood worker; David Beard: Assistant Professor University of Minnesota-Duluth writing studies; Mark King: actor, theater reviewer, musician; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior.",,

These are the longer–range outcomes: To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts. To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists. To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry. The number of snow sculptures is easily counted, and the degree of engagement with the public is easily observed by Ely Winter Festival board members who will be in the park throughout the time when the carving is taking place. We will sponsor several group meals that are attended by artists and board members, and we will solicit feedback from artists informally at those events. Additionally, we will evaluate our success by soliciting feedback from other arts organizations (e.g., Northern Lakes Arts Association, Ely ArtWalk), the business community, and the general public. The first board meeting following the completion of the Festival is always open to the public for the express purpose of evaluation. We obtain lodging tax information from the Chamber of Commerce.

The public was clearly engaged in the artists’ work, as we could see from the number of people in the park watching them carve. We sponsored several group social events for carvers, and received positive feedback on their ability to collaborate with each other. All sculptures were judged to be family friendly. These were the longer–range outcomes of the Symposium and the Festival in general: To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts. To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists. To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry.

Films are played simultaneously in one large screening room and two smaller ones. We face three problems: a) communication, b) low filmmaker participation, and c) awkward transitions between films. Solutions: a) Filmmakers who attend take audience questions following their film. Since our venue has one large screening room and two smaller ones, the audience in the smaller rooms cannot fully participate. We propose to add closed-circuit video among all screening rooms. b) In order to increase the number of filmmakers attending, we propose to offer limited reimbursement for their expenses. c) Our projection equipment relies on outdated DVD technology, resulting in delays between films. We propose to rent available technology so that the audience will experience smooth transitions from one film to the next. We also hope to add a virtual reality experience. The Directors and volunteers of the Free Range Film Festival attend the film screenings and interact with the audience; audience members share comments and reactions which give a measure of the festival's success. We shall be alert to audience approval of interactive audio and video. The number of filmmakers attending has always been modest; we shall record how many more filmmakers attend given the promise of a limited subsidy for their travel expenses. Our technical staff will report on improvement in film transitions; we shall also ask for audience responses to this issue.

It was a block of amazing films about people surviving on the fringe of society. The film was well received, and Manlife both looked and sounded beautiful. More films should play in 101-year-old barns. Afterwards the film was followed up with a very thoughtful question and answer session. Just can't say enough about the entire staff of volunteers that help run the Free Range Festival, they certainly go out of their way to make both filmmakers and audiences feel at home. They also send you home with the freshest swag bag!

The spring of 2016 marks 60 years of singing for this group. To celebrate this special milestone, the chorus has chosen a line-up of favorite songs they have performed through the years. They have also invited another male chorus to join them: the Cold Spring Area Maennerchor from Cold Spring, Minnesota, is a 40-member male chorus, also members of the Associated Male Choruses of America. Cold Spring hosted the annual district music festival in 2014. Inviting the guest chorus offers the local audience the opportunity to hear twice as many male voices singing in the newly remodeled Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. This will observe the 60th anniversary of the Grand Rapids choral group in a special, celebratory way. The 2016 spring concert of the Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus will mark 60 years since the group was first organized by Mrs. Betty Kauppi. Over the years the group has been known as Betty's Boys, the Orion Male Chorus, the Blandin Male Chorus, and now the Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus. No matter what they are called, the male chorus is a community. With 60 years of history many of the directors and accompanists are no longer with us, but invitations will be sent to all surviving chorus directors and accompanists to be our guests and be presented to the audience at the concert. The Cold Spring Maennerchor, as their name suggests, has their roots in the German communities around Cold Spring, Minnesota, and have been performing for 78 years. Each chorus will perform selections separately and then combine for the final section of the concert. Celebrating our 60th anniversary, singing for the first time in the remodeled Reif Center, and having a guest chorus will create a great marketing opportunity for the Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus and the Grand Rapids Arts Community. The Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus will hand out surveys at the spring concert. The audience and performers will be asked to comment on the music choices, including which were their favorites. We will also collect data regarding audience demographics, where the audience traveled from to attend the concert, and what other activities they plan to do in the Grand Rapids Area while they are in town for the concert.","The 2016 spring concert of the Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus marked 60 years since the group was first organized.

Learn the traditional techniques of drawing the human figure with modern materials in a classical manner and understand his specific methodology of preparing his paper and particular application of materials. 2. To better understand the human figure and how to better create the illusion of dimension within space. While anyone can draw a representation of people, how do we create a convincing drawing, one that appears to move in space? How do we create a drawing that appears to walk off the page, or turn in space? 3. Learn how I may apply this approach in future drawings, possible oil paintings, and other media or as a stand-alone technique. Having experimented with other ?old-world? mediums of metalpoint and egg tempera, I am curious to see new possibilities with his methods and techniques. 4. Improve my drawing aesthetic. Underlying all of these aspirations, my main goal is to learn to draw more beautifully. I will know that I have been successful based upon the following: 1. Completion of the course and feedback from the instructor. 2. Experimenting with the materials. As in most cases, art is a process of experimentation combined with trial and error. Only through hands-on experimentation can we learn how to use materials and explore new possibilities. 3. Feedback from the instructor, other students, and the faculty at Great Lakes Academy of Fine Art. Working in community is one of the best learning tools.

Specifically, I plan to solve this through purchasing the Small HD 503 Monitor. Focus and exposure are the keystones to cinematography and without the proper tools, they can be impossible to execute. The measurable outcomes of this technological update include a clearer, more accurately focused video because of the monitor's high-resolution daylight viewable screen and an increased level of consistency between scenes within a project because of the color accurate screen and exposure tools the monitor provides. Upon completion of my first project with the monitor, I will use a variety of methods to measure the outcomes and impacts of its use. First, I will view the daily footage and check to see if the focusing ability and accuracy has improved. There are specific times when I struggle with focusing and I will see if I was able to keep better focus in those situations because of the quality of the screen. The result will be more usable footage because of the increased frequency in which the subject is in focus. Secondly, I will bring the footage into DaVinci Resolve and view the footage while monitoring with an RGB (Red Green Blue) parade waveform. This will show me how consistently I was able to expose the image, paying specific attention to the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) of skin tones and background elements. I will have achieved my goal if my ability to keep focus and keep consistency between scenes has shown significant improvement.","After comparing footage and income from the year prior to having the monitor I noticed an: - Increased ability to focus and maintain focus with moving objects - Increased ability to light a scene accurately - Attracted bigger clients.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",959,"Other,local or private",2199,,,,"Kellen Witschen",Individual,"Technology/Equipment Grant",,"I am requesting funds to upgrade my viewing monitor to help improve my cinematography.",2017-11-01,2018-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kellen,Witschen,"Kellen Witschen",,,MN,,"(218) 780-9240 ",krwitschen@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Carlton, Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/technologyequipment-grant-47,"Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Jon Brophy: lighting and costume designer; Ryuta Nakajima: professor of fine art at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, visual artist; Amy Varsek: Education Director at Duluth Art Institute, visual artist.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center.",,2

One of the topics we studied was hand engraving and carving, an art that goes back (on metal) to the 1st Millennium B.C.E. Although it is a time-consuming process, I loved it. The finished pieces can be quite beautiful, but I also became enamored with the history of engraving, the origins of which can be traced back to the invention of the printing process. The tools are also unique and wonderful; they have not changed in 2000 years. The points themselves can be studied, as small variations in a point can lead to dramatic differences in the finished piece. I would like to buy a power-assisted hand engraver kit that would let me hand engrave and carve without the physical toll and time needed to do classic hand engraving and carving. I have a combination of tendinitis and elbow problems, and the kit would allow me to develop my work for many years to come. I intend for the art of engraving to be a major part of my jewelry-making repertoire. The power-assisted engraver will allow this to happen, will allow me to explore my artistic vision without restrictions.

My plan is to rediscover film photography and how I see the world (and how it photographs differently) through the medium format after locating the right camera in my budget range.","Arts production equipment was purchased to help my artistic career and ability grow.

A dedicated central dust collector is designed to create suction moving large volumes of air that when connected to a woodworking tool, removes dust and chips as wood is cut or shaped. Without adequate dust removal, chips and dust may foul a blade or cutter resulting in unsafe operating conditions, or debris may accumulate in the workspace creating a safety hazard. Prolonged exposure to airborne wood dust has negative consequences for the respiratory system and has been linked to certain cancers. I would like to keep my shop a clean, safe space as I build banjos and an improved dust collection system is a key component to a building a better banjo and a healthier banjo maker. I will consider this project successful upon installation of a central dust collector. Building a banjo is a reductive process. Large pieces of wood are sawed, glued, resawn, carved, sanded and shaped with a myriad of tools that produce as a waste product large quantities of dust and woodchips. Without a method to collect this waste, sawdust ends up on the shop floor, in machinery, on the builder and everywhere else. My shop is located in the basement of my home and I often end up tracking sawdust throughout the house despite my best efforts. A central dust collector with the capacity necessary to collect dust from my tablesaw, bandsaw, planer and jointer will reduce the amount of unwanted sawdust in my shop. Upon installation of the collector I will evaluate the dust removal efficacy by machine and also the decrease in dust in the shop. Additionally, I will evaluate the time saving and quality improvement in my banjo building as a result of a more pleasant work environment.","Dust collection in shop has been much improved. The system, matched with equipment needed in in the banjo making process, has greatly improved both air-quality and operational efficiency allowing me to build better banjos.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",544,"Other,local or private",2155,,,,"Ben Cogger",Individual,"Technology/Equipment Grant",,"Dust collection for banjo making shop.",2018-05-01,2018-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ben,Cogger,"Ben Cogger",,,MN,,"(218) 355-0427 ",cogge013@d.umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/technologyequipment-grant-61,"Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Jon Brophy: lighting and costume designer; Amy Varsek: Education Director at Duluth Art Institute, visual artist; Greg Mueller: sculptor.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2

Our current 40 year old equipment takes a minimum of 4 hours to trim a slab of stone to size, grind it to shape, drill holes, and polish it. Speed is limited by the RPMs we can achieve in the current setup without exacerbating the amount of wobble inherent in the old technology. Even then, the quality is only ""fair"" to ""good"" (a subjective assessment). Our current equipment was hand-built with external electric motors driving exposed pulleys to turn the lap and saw, with poor coolant control, making them inaccurate and unsafe. Modern equipment would be safer, would allow us to complete a piece in half of that time, and increase quality to ""excellent"" (again, a subjective assessment). It will also reduce incidences of loss - projects that must scrapped and begun anew. While it is difficult to measure artistic productivity because each piece is unique, and different stones cut and polish at different rates according to the Mohs Hardness Scale, we will quantify the number of pieces produced per hour during the first 6 months of equipment use in order to provide a measurable outcome of productivity. We will photograph pieces and rate their quality for the final report, if required.","We purchased all of the equipment approved by the grant by 9/8/18. All was put into service.

I plan on capturing 40 three- to five-star Milky Way shots with each lens within the first year of owning them. With the 20mm, I'll capture shots with detailed foregrounds. With the 35mm, I'll capture pictures of the galactic core. I currently have a Milky Way presentation that I give to Milky Way Photography students and that is available for photography clubs. The missing component is how to photograph the galactic core and how to use fast lenses to capture both the Milky Way and a visible foreground. I will use the lenses to add four slides on each subject to my Milky Way presentation. Because my measurable outcomes are based on numbers, the method of evaluating the outcomes will be to see if I achieve those numbers. For the goal of taking 40 three- to five-star images, I'll count the number of images at the end of the year. The difficulty with Milky Way images is that the Milky Way is photograph-able with perfect weather for about 7 to 10 days a month. With average weather, that drops to 3 to 5 days a month. During a typical Milky Way outing, I capture 2 to 3 three- to five-star images. Typically, I make it to 2 to 3 locations a night. From November to April, the galactic core is below the horizon, so those months are less than ideal. That gives me a pace of 6 to 7 images a month from May to October to reach my goal.

There are many variations on filters, but these specific filters, and combinations thereof, will fit my needs during conditions I most frequently encounter. They will enable me to execute my creative visions in many situations, will be an excellent tool for experimental abstract/artistic photographs, and will be utilized for many years (hopefully decades). In addition to using the filters for visible light photography, I will use them with infrared photography on a camera I recently had converted for that purpose. These filters will enable me to soften the water surfaces and balance the light to create images that express my vision. They can help me portray dynamic scenes, convey emotion through drama or suspended tranquility, and create stories. Working in partnership with nature, there are endless possibilities to express unique creativity with these tools. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” The impact the filters have on my artistic goals will be easily assessed when I use them during a photo shoot. I will instantly be able to assess whether they enable me to utilize techniques with longer exposures. Those photographs will include elements such as smooth water surfaces, soft flowing water, improved balance of light and tone. Many photographs will convey a story or emotion and will draw viewers in for a closer look and more in-depth experience and emotional connection with the art. Receiving feedback from viewers will also help me assess whether the artistic expression is being perceived as I intend. As my portfolio of long exposure photographs expands, I anticipate it will continue to unleash more creative experimentation and inspirations with the equipment.","The camera filters are enabling me to execute my creative visions in many situations with challenging light, and are an excellent tool for experimental abstract/artistic photographs.

My goal is to get ten four to five star (out of five) wildlife images on that trip. Within a year, have a wildlife portfolio of 20 to 30 unique, three to five star images, and to add this to my website. As a gauge, I take about 10 images a year that I consider five star. My current wildlife shots show animals in their environments. One of the reasons for that is the lack of a super telephoto lens. This grant funding will allow this portfolio to include close up images of the animals. I'll be able to get these images while keeping myself and the animals safe. Additionally, I'll use the lens to photograph the full moon rise behind the Grand Marais lighthouse for three months. I plan to use these images to support my new Shoot the Moon photography workshops. They will be used on my website and in the instructional slideshow.Because my measurable outcomes are based on numbers, the method of evaluating the outcomes will be to see if I achieve those numbers. The first goal is to get ten four or five star (out of five) wildlife shots on a December trip to the Badlands National Park. I will achieve that goal if I get ten shots of that caliber. At the end of the first year of owning the lens, I'll measure my wildlife portfolio to see if I have 20 to 30 three to five star images. The goal also requires me to add the portfolio to my website. I'm including in work samples my current wildlife style. The new look I'm trying for is close ups of animal. I'll have achieved my goal if the portfolio includes 60% of close ups of animals and 40% of animals in their environment. The final goal is measured by the number of times I shoot the moon behind the lighthouse, and how much larger it appears in the photos vs. my current shorter lenses. The goal is achieved when the images are added to my slideshow and website.","When I visited the Badlands, my goal was ten 4- to 5-star wildlife shots. The conditions weren't favorable, so I ended up with three 4-star wildlife shots. I have not owned the lens for a year, so I haven't been able to measure whether or not I have 20 to 30 three to five star wildlife images. I'm up to six 3- to 5-star wildlife images. For the Grand Marais lighthouse shots with the full moon, the conditions haven't been favorable. I managed to get the full moon at Split Rock. I've use the lens more often than I imagined that I would. Instead of just using it for wildlife, I've used it for landscape. I've used it to capture over 1,000 images that I considered good enough to keep in my catalog.

In addition, I would like to expand my collection of musical pieces that I can share with potential film collaborators for future use, independent of contracted projects. Recording multiple acoustic tracks simultaneously or electronic software instruments create lag time on equipment that can no longer keep up to the task of recording them. I want to eliminate this barrier that holds back the potential of musical ideas presented by film directors and myself and the ability to make them realized for our collaborative efforts. Whether it’s an acoustic drum set, a string section or electronic synth keyboards, I want fewer impediments to what I can accomplish. In order to properly build film compositions I need to track multiple instruments within one piece of music without being stifled by the prospect of losing these large files to computer crashes or other errors. Updating my computer is the first step to ensuring security of files and increased capacity to build these larger compositions. Increasing this capacity improves my ability to respond to the filmmaker's needs and crafting my own artistic vision in a short time frame. The addition of monitors that have a flat frequency response (i.e. no added bass or treble for home use) provides a better palette for sound production of a given project without running into the problem of, for example, too much bass on an instrument discovered after the fact, thus needing to be either reworked or rejected outright for a film project.

I am committed to learning how to use new technology and software to bring my art up a notch. I travel back and forth to many theatre teams all over town and this transportable technology will help me get my designs easily accessible. It would help me show actors, directors, and crew what exactly is in my brain. SHOWING people what exactly I'm trying to convey rather than explaining is crucial in my work.

In the long run, it will help me accomplish my dreams of starting my own business, teaching others in my realm, and inspiring others to utilize resources around THEM as well. I think I will be able to start using the new equipment right away. My first initiative is to start taking online classes to better my drawing tablet skills. I am still adapting to the new format of working with such a tool. Working on a new, fast laptop will help me take these classes during EVERY FREE MOMENT. I can not only start playing around with creating art, but by practicing on show renderings. Every new project I have will offer opportunities to continue this practice.

I should be able to execute renderings more quickly, with more ease, and most importantly more professionally. The transition to digital drawings rather than watercolor will be instant. They may not be great at first, but I'm sure I will get the hang of it pretty quickly. If funded, I would be able and willing to commit to digital immediately.","The new technology has already helped me in the following ways: I am able to carry EVERY item I need for my work in a compact bag rather than giant loads of art supplies.

The chief metric for success is the production of CD quality music. Music that has more than just two tracks of guitar but has multiple tracks including drums, bass, vocals, keys and horns.

Drums, keyboard sounds and horns are some of these. Using additional soft synths each contained in separate tracks and that is part of a single song (or project file) presents too much load on my current computer and can't be done. This is a limitation. Step 1 Configuration: Choose a computer compatible with existing audio hardware and software. PC will meet Cakewalk Sonar X3 hardware compatibility and maximize processor and memory requirements with given monetary constraints. Step 2 Installation and Migration: Install audio drivers for new operating system. Configure secondary disk for optimal audio recording. Install Cakewalk Sonar X3 and aux programs. Copy existing audio files, project templates and project files. Step 3 Testing: a) remix and master an existing project and listen to results. b) do recording of short songs from scratch. c) tweak configuration. Repeat a-c until satisfied using Cakewalk tech support to resolve any issues.

I am now a consistent designer for four different companies of varying scale. In order to continue growing in my art form, I need a way to quickly draft out plots, share my concepts and ideas with directors and other designers, and keep track of all of the little details of these projects. The majority of the artists that I am working with are already using this technology, and I am set back for not having it. As I already have a basic understanding of how to use this software, I will immediately be able to benefit from its acquisition. I will receive full 3-D models from scenic designers, which I can then create my plot on top of. Utilizing those models, I will then be able to create accurate images of what a design will look like when completed and anticipate any problems. This will also benefit any teaching I do, as those same images will assist in my student's understanding. Improvements in my art would begin to happen as soon as I receive the program. There will be many new things to learn, but being able to create in such depth and detail before I even have access to the stage will make the learning curve negligible. Each new project I begin will be improved upon, and have tangential results from this program. I will be able to add well drafted plots and beautiful digital renderings to my portfolio, and compare those to production photos to show examples of artistic continuity. I will be using Vectorworks on a near day to day basis, and it will allow me to further my development as a professional lighting designer.","The primary measurable outcome of the completing the project, which in this case is purchasing the product, and integrating its use into my design work, can be seen in the plots and documents I have created since its purchase.

My work is now available for sale at Lakeside Gallery in Duluth. I had a booth at Chester Bowl's Fall Fest where I sold art prints and note cards. I also had a booth at the downtown Farmer's Market, but didn't sell much. It was a good experience, but probably the wrong event for selling art.

Necessary to accomplishing this goal is a new laptop that will be able to provide the digital capability of rendering high resolution imagery that allows detailed graphite hand drawings to translate to video file, screen, and projection. By having this rendering capacity available, I will also be able to focus on editing and transitions within the video editing software that bring the drawings to moving life. Purchasing a more powerful laptop will provide the additional benefit of being able to edit and render away from home. This is important to the work that I do in my field projection installations. The computer I have chosen fits into my existing equipment and software platform, so it will provide a seamless transition without also needing to update other equipment. I have identified the following technical problems in regards to the goal of further developing and refining my animated drawings: 1) In order to create higher resolution videos that transmit detail when projected in large scale, I need to take higher resolution images. Therefore I need a computing platform that has the processing power necessary to complete this task. 2) Because I do not have resources that easily provide me access to powerful computers (for example a University computing lab) it is critical that I have a fully functioning platform and my own computing backup system. So I must have more than one computer that can handle my video workload when difficulties arise. I have identified the solution to this problem: 1) The purchase of a new laptop that will work with the other equipment I already own and have purchased myself, the details of which are available in the attached cost estimate. When purchased, the solution that supports my goal will be met.","I was able to purchase the laptop as described in my grant application.

I propose to showcase the new work done with a proposed new computer at my studio in Ely, Minnesota. I have had success in the past at The Walker Art Center and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts using more elaborate, sprawling installations that used a combination of Photoshop-arranged stickers on paper, sound created through Garageband audio software program and video. These installations filled rooms as can be seen in my slides. My consummate goal from here into the future is to utilize and display more of these surrounding peripheral elements that make for more encompassing and multi-sensory exhibitions. More exhibitions in the future at large venues in Minnesota and beyond are another goal that I believe is possible with proposed funding and furthering the scale of my work. In regard to evaluating a larger shift in scale for my work, I propose to take images of work created with the proposed acquisition of a new computer and Photoshop editing and relay back to the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council in my final report. I have recently signed a purchase agreement on a new studio in Ely that is 2,000 square feet. I plan to exhibit the work created with Arrowhead Regional Arts Council funding there in the early summer (May/June) of 2017. I anticipate bigger work being created here in the future. Though having recent exhibitions in Hawaii, Kansas City and Spokane, my current list of upcoming shows has dwindled. However, this is usually the best time for many artists to make work and apply for future shows.

Our programming has increased significantly in recent years. LOON used to perform one fully staged opera each year. Now, a season includes two fully staged operas, a children's opera tour, a summer concert, and several smaller events throughout the year in pubs, livings rooms, and senior living centers. We have recently taken steps to increase our administrative capacity to support and expand our programming, increasing our General Director's salary, and adding part-time positions for specific tasks. Our goal with this increased capacity is to ensure best experiences for patrons and artists, and to allow our General Director to spend her time less on daily administrative details and more on serving LOON's mission, goals, and strategy as set forth by the Board of Directors. The two new part-time administrative positions that have been created are focused on specific projects or tasks. These include: 1. Assessing publicity (print, social media, tv, radio) opportunities and helping to develop a marketing and publicity strategy. 2. Project Manager/calendar coordinator for the Little LOON tour. 3. Orchestra manager and artist liaison for main stage productions. 4. Box office supervisor and front of house volunteer coordinator. Our goal is as follows: with dedicated attention to these tasks, our General Artistic Director can focus her time on strategic planning, artistic programming, and development. Development work often gets pushed aside for pressing daily tasks (flight and housing arrangements for artists, answering phones, making copies, running the box office, etc.). Our goal is for her to be able to focus on relationships, long-term programming goals, and development, which should result in better efficiency, better ticket sales, more grant applications submitted, more donor relationships established. Essentially,we are freeing her up to do Executive-level work. The addition of Kailyn Spencer (administrative assistant) and Heidi Lord (orchestra manager and artist liaison) will also result in better patron experience, and better experiences for artists and volunteers.

The long range outcome is to expand the regional artistic community by producing a quality, entertaining, and thought provoking film festival and ongoing cinema exhibition. An increase in regional productions allows Duluth Superior Film Festival to attempt to screen 15 regionally made productions per year in 2017/18.

We were able to better track our members through the use of a new database which we devised this year (and although we didn't use purchased software; the initiative to do so in an organized manner was still inspired by the grant). We also instituted a system of membership benefits created by the collective, in order to maintain contact with our donors, to establish goodwill and the willingness to continue giving. We can attest to the effectiveness of our system based on the number of membership renewals (30% renewal rate; 26 new members since October 2017). It was also our goal to provide tactile quarterly and yearly newsletter ""zines"" to our contributing members for updates and opportunities for involvement in upcoming group shows, which we instituted this year during our Annual Membership Drive. With the purchase of a vinyl machine with funds from the operating grant, we were also able to create a public display of our members and donors in the space of the gallery, as a way to prominently acknowledge the members gained through this drive and also to encourage further connection with and support by our members. Another goal was to stabilize the gallery through operating funds. With the support of the ARAC Grant, we have been able to continue our exhibition and venue agenda, which included: 12 exhibitions (including two solo exhibitions and 3 exhibitions that included international artists), a pop-up art sale for emerging artists, a venue for book and poetry readings (including the Spirit Lake Poetry series), a venue for various musical performances as well as participating in the Homegrown Music Festival each year, a site for CSS students to create a collaborative community mural, and a site for hosting community events with organizations such as the Feminist Action Collective, Trans Plus, Duluth for Clean Water, Gender Justice, and the HOTDISH Militia.",,40895,"Other, local or private",55895,,"Jamie Ratliff, Wilson Johnson, Florencia Matamoros, Taylor Kline ",,"Prøve Collective","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Two-Year Operating Support Grant",,"Prove seeks funding to stabilize and support the organization.",2017-02-01,2018-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Michelle,Ruszat,"Prove Collective","21 Lake Ave N",Duluth,MN,55802,"(401) 474-8627 ",info@provegallery.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/two-year-operating-support-grant-18,"Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music at University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Quentin Stille: student liaison, College Music Director at KUMD.","Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of Music at University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Quentin Stille: student liaison, College Music Director at KUMD.","Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, Drew Digby (218) 722-0952 ",1

Our second measurable outcome is to draw at least 10 percent new concertgoers to each concert—an average of 17 individuals who never attended a Matinee Musicale concert until the 2015-2016 or 2016-2017 seasons. Matinee Musicale will evaluate outcomes of Phase 2 of our Marketing/Branding Project by tracking ticket sales for each concert, a process which we currently undertake after each concert. The Matinee Musicale treasurer maintains an Excel spreadsheet mailing/membership list, which is updated during the season ticket sales period, and is also updated after each concert to reflect at-the-door ticket sales. We plan to provide a survey at each concert, with an opportunity to sign up for an email newsletter. This document could ask: “How did you hear about this concert?” “Are you a season ticket holder?” “Is this your first experience at a Matinee Musicale concert?” – to help us determine how well we are reaching potential audience members and aid us in capturing new names. (We may encourage signups by holding a drawing to give away a set of tickets for the next concert, or a music CD by that night’s artist.) As stated in this grant, execution of Phase 2 of this project means that messaging will begin to reach potential audience members in early September of 2015.

Twin Ports Choral Project will: 1) assess the artistic director and choir manager positions to ensure sustainability within the funding structure created by analyzing the time put in to the organization by these positions and leverage this against a competitive salary, 2) assess the organization’s funding calendar to better understand which fundraising/grant efforts proved to be most successful and what this means for future funding efforts, 3) using assessment 1 and 2 as a guide, decide how best to move forward in creating a singer payment structure, and 4) work to reach at least 2 high school choral programs per year. Additionally, Twin Ports Choral Project will evaluate the success of this project by the increase in audience and donor membership, as well as grant funding. Additionally, website and Facebook usage and usefulness will be monitored and assessed through Google analytics.","With the support of this grant, Twin Ports Choral Project has: 1) Created a sustainable organizational structure, including becoming a 501(c)3. We had a hope to pay the artistic director and one administrative staff person. At this point, it is not in the budget to make this happen in a full-time employee capacity. Right now, our concert tickets range from ""free will"" to $10. Twin Ports Choral Project wants to encourage audience commitment and a higher ticket price is difficult for many of our patrons to handle. As an organization, we've realized over the past two years that the most important part of our mission is to share our music with the Twin Ports Community. 2) Created a funding calendar for the organization, including an annual fund and a fundraising event. Our fundraising event will begin in Fall 2018 as a collaboration between local restaurant and Twin Ports Choral Project. We have initiated an annual fund through Give to the Max. 3) Created a more robust outreach program. Each year, TPCP choral project has connected with Minnesota High Schools to perform concerts and clinics. Over the past two years, TPCP has worked and performed with Saint Michael-Albertville High School, Duluth East High School, Robbinsdale Cooper High School, Southwest Minneapolis High School, Madison High School, Angelica Cantanti, Shokopee High School, and the Hmong Prep Academy.",,300,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Bret Amundson, Jennifer Campbell, Jefferson Campbell, Alex Loch, Tasha Turk",0.00,"Twin Ports Choral Project","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Two-Year Operating Support Grant",,"Twin Ports Choral Project position, and marketing support.",2016-02-01,2018-01-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Bret,Amundson,"Twin Ports Choral Project","4301 Superior St E",Duluth,MN,55804,"(206) 660-6300 ",bamundson@css.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/two-year-operating-support-grant-12,"Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist.","Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2
