These projects are good examples of the benefits of OHF. Low diversity grasslands provide some habitat for wildlife. These funds allow us to enhance and improve these habitats, going above and beyond what we could do without these funds. By far our most effective management tool is prescribed fire and we were able to burn over 48,000 acres, just over 75 square miles, with these funds.Our acre estimate is probably a low number, especially for woody removal. Trees in grasslands affect both the immediate area as well as the surrounding area. Generally we remove trees to increase nest success in the surrounding areas. While we may only record one acre of tree removal, we’re enhancing nest success for an entire WMA.This was the fourth appropriation for the DNR's programmatic Grassland Enhancement efforts. The primary focus for the Wildlife Section of this appropriation was the use of two Roving Crews, in Region One (located in Polk County) and Region 3 (located in Dakota County). Roving Crews are self-contained habitat enhancement programs. One hundred percent of their time is dedicated to habitat enhancement. In addition, we worked with local contractors to do additional habitat work on WMAs and SNAs.Division of Ecological and Water Resource staff funded on this appropriation did a variety of tasks, including writing contracts for woody removal projects and prescribed burns, firebreak installation, prescribed burn planning and execution, prairie reconstruction, and smaller invasive removal projects. CCM crews were contracted for many projects to add additional abilities. Specifically noteworthy, southern region EWR hires a CCM crew for several weeks in the spring each year to build support into the DNR burn crew (there would not be enough staff for a crew without CCM).In addition to these data, we also provide the following narratives showing the outputs and outcomes of several of the projects on the parcel list.The Cuka WMA project involved the removal of scattered invasive volunteer trees from 130 acres of native and restored prairie. A DNR survey on June 11, 2013 revealed the presence of at least 508 individual clusters of Small White Lady Slipper orchids. The orchid is abundant on Cuka WMA and this tree removal was management that is a direct positive for the preservation of this species. The removal of predator perches and den trees was one objective that appears to have been successfully met based upon the pheasant production that has been observed on this unit in recent years. One hunter has harvested a 2 bird limit on every pheasant opener for the last four years.A large portion of Benson WMA was already a quality restored grassland and wetland complex when acquired, but had thousands of trees covering the WMA. Without treatment, the site would have soon lost its open nature and grassland wildlife. The site includes a very high quality remnant prairie that we use to harvest local ecotype seed for nearby WMA restorations.Two Rivers Aspen Parkland SNA is a 1400 acre high quality brush prairie that was being invaded by aspen. This transition can be devastating to many wildlife species, particularly sharp tailed grouse as they tend to abandon these areas once they transition. After the prescribed burn and woody removal projects, there was a significant increase in sharp tailed grouse observations.Sweetwater WMA has two tracts totaling 430 acres. These tracts are part of a contiguous complex of public lands, including roughly 1,000 acres of Waterfowl Production Areas and 500 acres of WMA in the heart of Lac qui Parle County – an area with a rich history of waterfowl and upland bird hunting. The tree removal work on Sweetwater WMA compliments ongoing habitat acquisitions, restorations and enhancements being done in this area through partnerships among USFWS, MNDNR, TNC, PF and DU.Cooperative Farming Agreement fields totaling nineteen acres on four WMAs in the south Metro were retired. The fields were planted to a diverse mix native grasses and forbs. This will benefit pollinators as well as providing additional nesting cover. These WMAs are relatively close to the Metro Area, proving both wildlife habitat as well as hunting and other recreational opportunities for Twin Cities residents.Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project. Because of this and the large number of projects, we simply assigned dollars to projects proportional to acres completed in that project. In the same way, we proportionally assigned dollars to personnel based on FTEs.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Road","St Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Clay, Douglas, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Meeker, Morrison, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Roseau, Statewide, Stearns, Stevens, Traverse, Washington, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-4,,,,

Talcot Lake is historically important for migrating waterfowl and other species including canada geese, common yellowthroats, northern cardinals, indigo buntings, and ring-necked pheasants. Mammals include beavers, muskrats, white-tailed deer, red foxes, and minks.  With the help of the LSOHC’s recommendations we were able to permanently protect these two high priority tracts helping fulfill the mission of the council and provide recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans. All parcels acquired were restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. The grassland restoration included using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. Wetland restorations included using a combination of tile breaking, sediment removal, dike construction, and water control structures.

Design only projects are surveyed and receive preliminary design plans and support from Minnesota DNR engineers. This initial work is critical to identify project issues, determine realistic cost estimates, and ensure that future construction can proceed with minimal delays. No acres are reported for design-only projects; that occurs only after construction. Eight projects were design-only. Thirteen projects were design and construct. These 13 projects involved the construction or renovation of water control structures, fish barriers and/or dikes. This work enhanced almost 1200 acres, 913 of which were in the Prairie Ecological Section.Roving Habitat Crews - Minnesota DNR Roving Habitat Crews are highly trained, equipped and motivated staff working together to enhance Wildlife Mangement Areas. Begun in 2010, 2 6-person crews were established to work on prairie grasslands, with one crew based in Mentor, MN and one based at Lac Qui Parle. Beginning with this Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation, funding was provided to the 2 crews to allow to them expand to do wetland enhancement work. Each crew was provided 2 additional staff and they were able to spend 25% of their time and resources on wetland and shallow lake activities. This work included wetland prescribed burns, removal of woody vegetation from wetlands, the ability to work on wetland drawdowns, cattail spraying and mowing, and other wetland activities. The wetland acreage impacted by these crews has exceeded expectations, with 8,900 wetland acres enhanced. Three thousand-four hundred of these acres were enhanced in the Prairie Ecological Section. The most wetland acres were enhanced in Forest/Prairie Ecological Section, which is a function of the large habitat blocks that are available to manage in northwest Minnesota.Shallow Lakes Program - The Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program consists of a supervisor and 8 shallow lakes specialists. Three of these shallow lake specialist positions were created and funded with the Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation. Interns are used to augment shallow lake assessment work done during the summer field season. The Shallow Lakes Program can be described as having two major goals - assessment of shallow lakes through a standardized set of measures and initiating management of shallow lakes to enhance their value to wildlife. Management actions may include drawdowns, removal of unwanted fish, control of invasive species, and placement of major infrastructure. Acres are not reported for this component of the grant, though the work done by the Shallow Lakes Program is critical to acres subsequently reported by the DNR or Ducks Unlimited when OHF funds are used to implement management. A measure of the work accomplished by OHF-funded shallow lakes specialists is the number of number of shallow lake assessments the undertake during the grant period. For the period during which funding was provided by this OHF grant, the three funded specialists and interns accomplished 491 assessments on shallow lakes covering 160,268 acres.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ricky,Lien,"MN DNR Div. of Fish and Wildlife","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5227,ricky.lien@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Benton, Carver, Cottonwood, Freeborn, Itasca, Jackson, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Roseau, Todd, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-enhancement-phase-4,,,,

And we will grow the writing skills of participants through a quality workshop lead by Judy Wilson.1. Tabulate the number of area writers who attended the workshop and determine the percentage of the total who benefitted from having to not travel a great distance. 2. Construct and use an assessment tool (pre-survey and post-survey) that addresses the specific writing techniques and publishing tools and resources Dr. Wilson plans to present. Use the information to determine of the goals were met and report on that data. 3. Construct and use an assessment survey that determines the goals of the next workshop plus any other information to determine the success of the workshop.","The pre-survey showed that 14 participants said yes/mostly yes to feeling comfortable/successful utilizing the 9 listed skills. 12 participants said “no/mostly no” to utilizing the skills, and 4 participants split the “yes” and “no.” One might read that as over half already knew and used the listed skills, but that’s too subjective to feel strongly about. However, from that information and from talking with the participants and the participants talking with Judy individually, we know there were many accomplished writers at the workshop. We also know that a future workshop would need to address the range of abilities of the participants. We also learned that half the participants learned about the event from direct invitation or word of mouth, 8 read about it in a newspaper, 6 learned about it online or from email, and 2 saw our posters. The participants’ preference for registering included the following: 16 for online, 2 for calling, 7 for email, and 4 for snail mail. Preference for paying included the following: online 11, US mail 13, at the door 5, and does not matter 2. The level of writing included the following: aspiring 13, emerging 9, and published 5. Some did not indicate. The post-survey also told us that 17 participants were from within 60 mile radius and 11 came from a farther distance. There was 100% approval of the location and work space of the workshop. 23 people liked the annual workshops and 2 would like them every two years. The majority liked the weekend schedule and 4 people wanted just a one day workshop. 28 wanted to be alerted about future arts workshops and nearly 100% said the best parts were the presenter and the location. People suggested changing how the Saturday lunch was ordered, more individual interaction, more time, more time for questions and answers, hear others read, mix up the participants, and a couple suggested not meeting on Sunday. Future topics for workshops included the following: writing a novel, more on publishing, writing a blog/web, poetry, creating the manuscript, writing nonfiction, get work critiqued, and writing and publishing children’s books.

We will have achieved this outcome if even one person attends our public performances who hasn't seen dance-theater before. We will gather information about our audiences through post-performance surveys and conversations.","I achieved major growth in my practice as a playwright through this project; my understanding of best practices for collaboration and new ways text can function in performance were vastly expanded. Evidence of this learning can be found in the successful public premiere of my work at the Southern Theater this past July. Comments in audience surveys were some of the most compelling indicators that my personal artistic growth rippled out to create a meaningful experience for viewers; many responses specifically mentioned the text and its unique interplay with the movement, using words like powerful, mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and transformative. In reviews and in conversations afterwards, many viewers said that the piece was unlike anything they had ever seen; and in debriefing with my collaborators, we agree the work is very distinct from anything any of us had ever made. These observations affirm to me that I succeeded in pushing my writing into new territory. 2: In my application, I noted that I would have achieved this outcome if even one person attended the public performances who hadn’t seen dance-theater before. In the audience surveys I collected (which were completed and returned by approximately 30% of attendees), five people reported that they had never seen dance-theater prior to this performance. Over half of the respondents (53%) said that they have only occasionally attended contemporary dance-theater. Many of these respondents also included comments about how they found the performance moving, intellectually engaging, and unlike anything they had ever seen. The respondents were 88% Minnesota residents. 81% of these Minnesota respondents are based in Hennepin county, while nearly 20% traveled from five other counties to see the work.",,,,10000,,,0.00,"Rachel H.

We talked about analyzing past successes and building on them. We also broke up potential venues/audiences into categories and strategized ways of connecting with each category. One strategy we discussed was using my knowledge and interest in local history to build relationships with historical societies and then to use those relationships to promote shows. I employed this approach in Moose Lake and Hinckley with success. In Hinckley, I also leveraged my relationship with East Central Regional Libraries for extra support.

The students will follow a step-by-step process to collaboratively create an original three dimensional mosaic. This art experience will be used as a catalyst to express their ideas and experiences in writing. The students will share and describe their personal artwork and reflect on a presentation based on feedback from others.After demonstration and instruction on the elements of mosaic, the students will work with the Artist in Residence to create a checklist based on those elements. The checklist will guide them as they create and complete the mosaic and be used as a tool to assess the final product. After completing the mosaic, other classrooms at Discovery will celebrate the completion by writing six word stories about their impressions of the artwork. After the celebration, and the core group will share reflections of their peers and also discuss what the project meant to them. The students will use all this information to write an essay entitled Why Art is Valuable at My School.","Through small group discussions, students displayed a knowledge of the variety of types of lines and shapes, as well as an understanding of the color wheel. Through the work on the mosaic project, students demonstrated their clear comprehension of the use of complementary colors, harmony and variety. Students also were able to meet Discovery Elementary’s social skills goals by participating in this project. The kids demonstrated each of the Discovery 5Cs: Care, Collaborate, Contribute, Cooperate, Celebrate. As LeeAnn modeled these behaviors to the students during the work time, the students responded in kind. The Elevate the Arts mosaic will be on display in Discovery Elementary for years to come.

Expose students to performances of poetry written by the artist. 2. Engage them in voicing responses to the material. 3. Each student creates an ‘object writing’ poem. 4. Learn aspects of effective delivery with opportunities to share poems with peers. 5. Generate interest in joining the after-school Creativity Club led by the artist. “Folk Songs Are For Singing: 1. Expose students to live performances of American folk songs. 2. Engage them in voicing their responses to the material. 3. Teach students to sing 2 - 3 folk songs. 4. Students learn about the cultural/historical context of these songs. 5. Continue to generate interest in joining the after-school Creativity Club. After-school Creativity Club (Individual and small group mentoring.) 1. Students select one or more of the following goals: creating and performing works of poetry, fiction, essay, drama, and songwriting, with optional use of additional mixed media. 2. Learn techniques for activating creativity and warming up physically and vocally. 3. How to give and receive supportive feedback. 4. Apply tools of effective editing. 5. Acquire new performance skills.The artist will use Inquiry Questions in all settings to obtain feedback from students. Participation levels in exercises, assignments, and performances demonstrate a successful outcome. Teachers will be asked to share their observations about students in regards to reaching proposed outcomes. Students in the Creativity Club will write a short piece as a final project describing what they learned and accomplished.","THE ELECTRICITY OF POETRY: Classes went very well. I could have improved the learning process by having handouts that give several examples of writing that includes all 7 senses. I received gratifying comments from all 3 teachers: I really like the music/rhythm and vocal exercises! I know the students took pride in their poems. Thanks for the guidance you provided for their writing! -Ashley Roemer, 5th grade Language Arts teacher; I have caught a lot of students writing poems! Identifying the seven senses has really helped their writing. It was also really nice to see some of my students get out of their comfort zone and participate during the more active activities. It was a good community building exercise. - Ben Anderson, 5th grade Language Arts teacher; A lot of my kids have been pretty excited about poetry since your visit. I’ll be building off of some of the great basics you gave us. They also love all your comments and really like that a published author/artist gave them advice and not just their same ‘ole teacher! - Brooke Thrall, 5th grade Language Arts teacher; FOLK SONGS ARE FOR SINGING: I was blown away by how great the kids sang and how quickly they learned. By sharing a couple of original songs that were set in Minnesota (one historical and one contemporary) they got to experience and respond to music they had never heard before. I think that their experience of the folk songs was enriched by learning about the social and historical context and that will stay with them whenever they hear or sing those songs again. There were a few students who did not participate fully. I understand that singing does not come easily to everyone and I wished that I had more time to connect one-on-one to better understand and support each student. In my very last class the regular teacher was absent, and although there was a sub I found it much harder to keep them focused and on task. Ms. Kreitlow is a talented and engaging performer, and students were intrigued by her original compositions. We were able to make connections between folk music and prior units of study, as well as compare and contrast different versions of the folk songs presented. Their exposure to folk music, especially the concept of songwriting as a literary and storytelling tool, enhanced subsequent units of study as well. - Jana LeClaire, music teacher; CONCERT FOR FIFTH GRADERS: I especially enjoyed this aspect of the residency. I love that all three sections were assembled together. The concert was held in the auditorium with a sound system and good lighting and felt like a very special event. As well as sharing some original songs I had set two student poems to music. They responded to those just as I hoped; with pride, joy and enthusiasm, instantly singing along on the choruses. I ended with The Erie Canal which they learned in the Folk Singing classes. Obviously they had the entire song memorized because they sang loudly and enthusiastically. Melissa Marudas from the Central Minnesota Arts Board was on site to video the event, so some delightful footage is archived and an edited version now on the Central Minnesota Arts Board web site. I will make this available to the school as well. AFTER SCHOOL CREATIVITY CLUB: I started out with thirteen students which receded to nine over a few weeks. This was due to health and family issues, a student moving mid-semester, and possibly one or two who were either uncomfortable or disinterested. The remaining students participated fully. I was especially pleased with how supportive they were of each other and that performances and displays of their original works will be shared in the school's Arts and Academics Showcase. The mix of grade levels (5th - 8th) worked well and allowed new friendships to be forged. I created a questionnaire to obtain feedback which they filled out during the last session. Favorite things about being part of the club were: “getting more comfortable with singing in public, trying new things, meeting new people, letting my creativity pour, and “poem acting. Specific things learned included: what haiku is and that it rocks!, “that some people are loud and some more shy,” and to claim my space. What they learned about themselves and their abilities were: “I am a poet!, how good I was at acting, not knowing that I was such a good poet, and “that I can and will be loud even when I don’t know it. (This last comment was from a very shy student.) A couple of students felt like they could have used more support and positive feedback while others felt encouraged by everyone, felt pushed to do new things (in a positive sense), and people said I was a really good singer. I realized early on that I needed to provide quite a bit of structure to make this program really work - more than I first anticipated.

The two winning composers from the competition proved to be invaluable supporters for this project bringing in a high number of new audience members to me (measured by audience survey responses) and also helping me add two performance stops on the tour. The success of this competition has also led quite a large number of other local composers to approach me about writing music for me to perform. The commissioned work was also highly successful. This commission has resulted in a piece of music that I am confident will become a staple in the repertoire for voice and guitar. Audiences consistently picked this piece as their favorite from the concerts, and the success of working with the composer on the commission has opened up future performance opportunities for me. 2: I successfully produced eleven concerts and two workshops related to this project, partnering with a number of new organizations as well as groups already in my network. I learned quite a bit about co-producing concerts with arts organizations that will be invaluable for producing future performances. The success of this project in reaching new audiences surpassed all of my expectations as I was able to produce or co-produce eleven concerts and two workshops as part of the project instead of the planned four concerts. As a result of the higher number of events, I was able to reach approximately 450 audience members, of which approximately 80% had never attended one of my performances before, 68% had little to no previous exposure to chamber music, and 98% stated on audience surveys that they were interested in attending a future concert of mine.

I plan to go through my personal portfolio periodically as part of an honest self-evaluation. I am going to write a bi-weekly personal development plan noting my strengths, weaknesses and short term goals while building my resume and networking. 2: This project can serve as the voice for Minnesotans that go unheard because they lack the platform. I will pass my business card to inform people what website event photos will be displayed. The website will be interactive and allow people to voice their opinions. I will record the number of visitors every week and adjust the website accordingly.","This project has significantly helped me further develop my skills in photography. I covered more than 20 events in the past year and took an average of 50 photos per event which gave me significant amount of experience in shooting subjects that are in motion, working with different lighting conditions, editing and storytelling. As I covered more events and improved my skills, I went back to my portfolio and re-edited and reformatted my photos every 6-8 weeks. I also kept a monthly journal outlining my strengths, weaknesses and short term goals and plans on how I can improve and learn from the events I covered thus far. In an attempt to improve some of my weaknesses, I was able to take some photography classes offered at the University of Minnesota. 2: This project documented less recognized rallies with an attempt to serve as the voice for Minnesotans that go unheard because they lack the platform to do so. When I first started covering events, I was very proactive in passing my business card to let people know where the photos would be available. However, as I continued to cover more events, more people were able to recognize me and approach me with their opinions and feedbacks. Half way through my project, I started incorporating social media which really helped boost my website visit per month from an average of 50 views a month to around 200 visits per month. Social media created a platform form for people to talk about and comment on each of the events.

Over the year, when teaching artists were not at Epic, learners participated in 360 hours of staff-led music, movement, and visual art sessions. 2: Staff tracked learners in art sessions, assessing physical functioning (observing endurance, range of motion, and core strength); artistic/cognitive skill-building (gauging the complexity tasks, learner's ability to follow artistic direction, and initiation); and emotional-social wellbeing (noting when learner smiles, interacts with others, and demonstrates enjoyment of activities). In facilitated debriefings at the end of each residency day, artists and staff reflected on (and celebrated!) arts learners' progress and used the information to shape future art sessions. Of the 29 learners we tracked: 28 had experiences affecting their emotional/social wellbeing-13 had experiences that we considered significant.

We made strong connections in each of these different communities and established new professional relationships with these venues and their managing directors. We were very enthusiastically received at these venues, with warm and personal interaction between us and these new audiences. This resonated quite strongly for each of us as individuals and for the band as a whole. We were given standing ovations in every venue! In addition to our personal and palpable experience of winning over these new audiences, as stated in our proposal, we also evaluated audience response with a paper survey at each concert. We asked questions about their experience hearing Jelloslave for the first time, and asked for their observations regarding our unique instrumentation and improvisational compositions. 2: Jelloslave toured eleven communities/regions in ten different Minnesota counties not previously visited during our nine year collaboration that had until now, been centered in the Twin Cities. Touring to new Minnesota communities has advanced the ensemble’s professionalism and broadened each community’s musical horizons. The achievement of this goal is reflected in the new relationships formed between Jelloslave and wider regional audiences. Our new website www.jelloslavemusic.com, created with promo and marketing funds from the grant, is providing a forum where we can stay in touch with our new friends/colleagues, and promote their missions as well as ours, as well as documenting our tour in photos. We have received many invitations to return and perform, and we plan to apply again in 2014-15 for a Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Tour Minnesota grant, which will allow us to deepen the relationships initiated thanks to the funded tour in 2013-14.",,12875,"Other, local or private",63715,4600,,0.00,"Michelle M.

Organizations selected from a menu of ten workshops exploring structures and techniques, adaptable to varying levels of experience. Minnesota Center for Book Arts designed a custom residency suited to local interests and facilities, supplemented by Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ mobile studio equipment. Lifelong learners acquired skills and knowledge of the book arts, enriching their artistic expression. Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ free all-ages program held in conjunction with an established local event drew strong attendance: 225 Minnesotans participated in St. Peter, 550 in Northfield and 5,000 in Bemidji. Participants in the intensive weekend workshops that followed numbered 14 in Bemidji, 27 in St. Peter and 50 in Northfield. Outcomes were measured from student evaluations and ongoing interest—as in Northfield, where Minnesota Center for Book Arts opened an exhibition of book art with related programs including a talk by Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ Executive Director. 2: Minnesota Center for Book Arts residencies removed barriers of cost, transportation and access to unique learning experiences for lifelong learners in Greater Minnesota. Minnesota Center for Book Arts and each partner designed a free all-ages community program to generate interest. Low-cost intensive weekend workshops then developed creative expression for beginning and experienced learners. Student evaluations indicate Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ success at removing barriers to participation. One learner noted, I always wanted to sign up for an Minnesota Center for Book Arts class but it was always too expensive and too far away. After each residency Minnesota Center for Book Arts provided additional book art resources to art centers, libraries and other interested organizations so that local interest could be sustained and developed.

If there are barriers to participation, our organization should have worked with the staff to help create access for at least 150 persons. 2: Assisted living facility staff inform us that proximity to toilets is the most serious concern of residents who would like to attend Northern Lights Music Festival concerts. Transportation is a secondary concern. We must know locations of bathrooms in each theatre and how many stalls are accessible. We must seat clients with concerns in the back of the theatre on aisles near staff so that they can quickly be moved without disturbing other clients. We will arrange efficient transportation. ","We were able to identify more than a dozen assisted living facilities throughout the Iron Range, including the Vermilion Range and the Mesabi Range.

Partially as a result of our activities, we can report that Chisholm will remove some seats in this year to allow for greater numbers of wheelchairs.

Our audiences are limited by our location? at the east of the Iron Range in a small community. Touring to the west range, Duluth, and Ely, we will have tripled the earned income for our Minnesota freelance-artists; chamber musicians will have more opportunities to perform works prepared over our season. 2: Community members in Chisholm and Ely have requested we become more active in their locations, and we have involved them in the planning and execution of the project. If committees formed to assist this tour are active and facilitate the project with volunteers for front of house management, with efforts at local marketing and with funding, we will have achieved our goals.","More than a dozen concerts were produced away from our home base of Aurora, providing Minnesota opera singers, Minnesota orchestral and solo musicians opportunities to play and to participate in professional operatic performances as well as symphonic concerts. The cities of Chisholm, Virginia and Ely provided venues for the opera La boheme and for chamber music concerts featuring members of the Minnesota Orchestra and Duluth free-lance players. All programs on tour were performed two or three times, providing extra payroll for freelance Minnesota artists. 2: Chisholm High School supports our performances there, and expresses its gratitude that their beautiful auditorium is used for classical music concerts and operatic performances. Our continuing relationship with the Northern Lakes Arts Association in Ely, as well as our relationship with the Board of Directors of the B'nai Abraham Synagogue in Virginia expands our reach into other communities, and their citizens. We were not successful in finding a small historic venue on the West Range for chamber music but will continue to search for another attractive facility that could present our chamber music events.

Via audience surveys, informal conversations, and post-project meetings, we will determine how this project has advanced our ongoing relationship with the Rochester and Duluth communities, renewed our ties to Faribault, and forged new connections in Austin. 2: Ragamala Dance will work with small venues that would not have the capacity to host us without grant support or advice from Ragamala Dance and other partners. Through observation and post-project meetings, we will gauge how smaller presenters benefitted from the opportunity to work with an experienced touring company like Ragamala Dance, as well as from other community partnerships forged through this project.","Ragamala Dance toured to four greater Minnesota communities-Rochester in November, Faribault in December, Duluth in February and Austin in February-presenting public performances of our signature work entitled Sacred Earth. Associated community outreach activities included a weeklong residency with middle and high school students at Shattuck-Saint Mary's School in Faribault, a public lecture-demonstration at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (offered in conjunction with a Diversity Summit being held on campus), a lecture-demonstration at the Faribault Public Library, and a public workshop at the Yoga Studio of Austin. Co-presenters of the tour and public performances were Rochester Community and Technical College, Shattuck-Saint Mary's School in Faribault, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and the Paramount Theater in Austin. None would have had the resources to bring Ragamala dance to their communities were it not for this grant. In this way, we also achieved outcome C, as indicated on our initial proposal. 2: This project provided opportunities for organizations that would not otherwise have had the resources or the administrative capacity to present a company like Ragamala Dance. These included a theater, two state colleges/universities, a high school, a library, and a yoga studio. This grant not only provided a heavy subsidy for Ragamala Dance’s artists' fees, but also allowed us the time to work with our partners in the planning and execution of our activities. The opportunity to work with a seasoned touring company like Ragamala Dance will give these emerging arts presenters valuable experience that they can use in planning future arts programming.

We presented this new Monkey Mind Pirates Family Yoga Party at all nine branches of the Kitchigami Library System, Duluth’s Twin Ports Bridge Festival and at Down Up North (Duluth affiliate of Down Syndrome Association Minnesota).

We did seek feedback from people attending performances via verbal and survey response to know we made a significant impact. 2: Our efforts to work with the selected presenting communities was an outgrowth of James Sewell Ballet’s participation in a Minnesota Presenters’ Conference the year before. Since that was the platform to pre-determine interest in the Lover/Your Move Tour that we completed, James Sewell Ballet’s Artistic and Executive Directors spoke with venue representatives at the original conference. That gave us the confidence and opportunity well in advance to know we had reliable and networked partners that could make our plans successful, in both reaching and involving dance audiences.

First, theater skills will be assessed through artists' statements, scripts, and performance. Secondly, journals and surveys will determine youths' views on bullying and the effectiveness of theater as a means to develop therapeutic skills. 2: Woodland Hills will become sustainable as an arts learning venue for underserved youth. A sustainability plan will be developed that examines and plans for supporting arts programming costs through ticket sales, outreach performances, and additional funding sources and partnerships with the school district and a local university.","Woodland Hills could only offer theatre with this support, thus the type of arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills increased. Also, this outcome was measured by a pre-program survey, which indicated only 10% of arts learners had taken part in an in-depth theatre arts learning experience, thus increasing the quantity of arts learning opportunities for Minnesota youth. The majority of theatre experiences indicated by arts learners took place in schools, so offering theatre at a residential treatment center increased the venues for arts learning opportunities. Secondary: Following the completion of the project, 77% of participants said they would definitely or were interested in participating in theatre in the future. In final reflections, 65% of arts learners indicated the arts learning experience helped them gain understanding about their own personal experiences with how people use power and 89% indicated the project helped them work toward treatment goals. 2: Woodland Hills is challenged to develop a sustainability plan that supports arts programming through ticket sales, outreach performances, other funding sources, or through partnerships with the school district or local universities. Staff retention issues at Woodland Hills and budget shortfalls at Woodland Hills and the schools in 2013 meant fewer resources dedicated to building an arts programs, or any program beyond mental health services.

It enhances musical understanding and builds community. Detailed formal evaluations, with room for commentary and suggestions, one for activity directors, and another for participants, regarding scope, quality, and impact of the seven-part series will be distributed and collected at concluding programs. 2: Bringing arts learning to life-long learners in residences or senior centers removes financial, transportation, and access barriers to participation. Success is measured by attendance, which should stay constant or grow, and by comments and formal evaluations regarding comprehension of material, ability to see and hear the programs, and comments from participants and Activity Directors.","Our seven-program series offered a unique music education opportunity for the residents of the participating senior venues. Many in our audiences told us our presentations were different from the usual fare, our programs being education-based rather than entertainment-based. The long-term association (seven monthly visits) allowed us to offer a sequential music education experience of more breadth and quality to the residents than they usually receive. We also experienced community building as people discussed their reactions to the content of our material, and in many cases introduced themselves to each other, and even rallied together for our return in the future! We assessed our outcomes through a written questionnaire distributed to the audience members as well as a different one for the Activity Directors. We received positive feedback from both, emphasizing enthusiasm especially for the learning aspect of the presentations. 2: We visited ten varied senior residences; facilities ranged in size, demographics of residents, participation of activity directors, etc. This Arts Learning grant allowed us to bring our series at no cost to the venues. There were at least two venues that definitely would not have been able to fund our visits without the 100% funding from this grant. In most venues there were wheel-chair bound, walker-users who would have had physical difficulty leaving the facility for any activity. Since all the venues were ADA compliant we know all types of needs of our audiences were accommodated. We removed all the barriers for participation in our program - We created printed programs in large-tye format, we initiated PowerPoint projections, and we used the facility's amplification when needed. Our success was confirmed by overwhelmingly positive comments and audience numbers that stayed even or increased in all facilities. All comments reflected an appreciation of our efforts.",,670,"Other, local or private",24854,952,,0.00,"Carrie Vecchione AKA Pages of Music with Rolf and Carrie",Individual,"Arts Learning",,"Pages of Music will present a seven-program series of music education performances, once a month for seven months, in ten different senior venues in various Minnesota cities.",2013-05-01,2014-02-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Carrie,Vecchione,"Carrie Vecchione AKA Pages of Music with Rolf and Carrie",,,MN,,"(651) 319-1414 ",carvec@aol.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Rice, Olmsted, Washington, Goodhue, Hennepin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-378,"Scott Bean: Retired elementary art teacher; practicing artist; Camilla Berry: Artist and educator; Gita Ghei: Sculptor and arts educator; Bernadette Mahfood: Jewelry and glass tile artist and educator; Laura Meyer: English teacher, Big Lake Schools; Rebecca Meyer-Larson: Theatare arts, language arts and speech communications teacher, Moorhead High School; Gretchen Pick: Artistic director, Young Dance, Twin Cities","Judson Bemis Jr.: Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

In Albert Lea, we performed two improv outreach programs, expanding our and the presenting partner's relationships in the community.

Protection of this large complex will provide opportunities for public hunting, fishing and wildlife conservation.The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase II effort will address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State; degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour’s drive for over half of the state’s population.Located just south of the Twin Cities metro in an area that has seen development pressure due to the close proximity of the Twin Cities, I-35 and the Upper Cannon Lakes, much of this part of the state has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are also the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams.This conservation effort is part of a multi-year effort that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The complex is encircled by the Upper Cannon River, starting at its headwaters at Shields Lake where it flows west, then as it flows south and east through the towns of Waterville and Morristown, and then as it heads northeast before reaching the city of Faribault.The initial acquisitions are prioritized toward existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, tamarack swamp), shallow lakes, river shoreline, and lands adjacent to existing protected areas. Landowner willingness to sell and the threat of development are also taken into consideration. Restoration work will be focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired (approximately 175 acres) and will include restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands, lakes, rivers and existing protected areas to native habitat.Protection and restoration of these significant parcels will provide critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock) white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting as well as river, stream, and lake fishing. Non-game wildlife, including Species in Greatest Conservation Need, likely to benefit from this protection and restoration work includes Bald Eagle, Bell’s Vireo, Cerulean Warbler, Loggerhead Shrike, Sandhill Crane, Red-headed Woodpecker, Greater Yellowlegs, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher, Blanding’s Turtle, Mudpuppies, and the Giant Floater, a species of freshwater mussel.Protecting and restoring vegetative cover within basins and the riparian areas of the lakes, rivers, and streams in this focus area will also help protect water quality by reducing surface water runoff and by providing ecological services such as infiltration through natural buffers to our waterways. All wildlife—and humans—will benefit from improved water quality.The DNR’s Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of inter-divisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level (score= 6).Work will be completed in phases depending on funding availability. Properties targeted for acquisition and restoration as part of this Phase II request to LSOHC (FY13) include the following:Tamaracque WMA (addition)- tract 28 (Rice County)These 200 acres of rolling terrain with grasslands, forest, and wetlands riparian to the Cannon River are located within a 1000-acre complex of MCBS-identified habitat with high biodiversity significance. Rare communities include Big Woods, some of the southern- most occurrence of Tamarack Swamp in the state, and mixed emergent marsh & prairie. The diversity of marshes and lowland brush is important for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species. The mix of wetland and upland habitats provide nesting areas for waterfowl. Restoration would include minimal tree and shrub plantings to provide nesting cover and minimal wetland restoration. This property also provides easy road access for excellent hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.Lake WMA (new)- tracts 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (Rice County) These 260 acres of rolling croplands, grasslands, forest, and wetlands include lands riparian to the shallow Caron Lake and an unditched tributary, Devil’s Creek, which is very rare in this area of the state. Due to limited funding, protection will be targeted toward a portion of this property. The property is adjacent to the Caron Lake Aquatic Management Area and contains approximately half mile of frontage on Caron Lake. The area is within a complex of shallow lakes that drain into the Cannon River. Protecting shoreline vegetation on Caron Lake is important for spawning and nursery habitat for northern pike and other native fishes; protecting natural buffers/water quality is critical for walleye downstream in Cedar Lake. This area is known to host both divers and puddle ducks during the fall migration. This is a great production area for turkey, deer, and other forest species, and extensive hunting opportunities would be available with direct and easy access provided by this acquisition. These tracts provide the opportunity to restore some farmed land in this sensitive water quality area to wetlands, grasslands, and either Oak Savannah or Big Woods habitat. Restoration will provide substantial payback for waterfowl and other marsh denizens given the complex of habitats within a biologically meaningful proximity.The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort is supported by the Cannon River Watershed Partnership, the Tri-Lake Sports Club, the Dark House Anglers Southern Chapter, Minnesota Deer Hunters Association South Central Prairieland Bucks Chapter (Le Sueur, Rice, Waseca, and Steele Counties), Waterville Sportsman’s Club, Montgomery Sportsmen’s Club, Minnesota Waterfowl Association Scott- LeSueur Chapter, the Izaak Walton League Owatonna Chapter, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Groups listed have already or will be providing a letter of support.PlanningAcquisition of high quality habitat and restoration of degraded habitat within the Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex furthers the goals and strategies of numerous resource management plans including:Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan (MSCPP)L-SOHC Prairie Section VisionCannon River Watershed Partnership (CRWP) Strategic Plan 2009-2012Minnesota Forest Resources Council (MFRC) and Minnesota Forest Resources Partnership’s (MFRP) Recommended 25-year LSOHC Forest Priorities Vision: Prairie SectionMN DNR Long Range Duck Recovery PlanMN DNR Long Range Plan for the Ring-Necked PheasantRice County Water Resource Management PlanLe Sueur County Local Water Management Plan 2006-2015DNR’s AMA and WMA Acquisition PlansThe MSCPP states “habitat issues are arguably the most important issues facing the conservation and preservation of natural resources throughout Minnesota” (p 31). The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project addresses multiple habitat issues by furthering the listed Habitat Recommendations. The project will “restore ecoregion-appropriate, landscape-scale complexes of habitat centered on concentrations of existing remnant habitats with a broader goal of developing/maintaining conservation corridors between existing and restored habitats” (p 66). It will “ critical shorelands of streams and lakes”, by focusing on “shoreline buffers…[which] protect water quality by trapping, filtering and impeding runoff laden with nutrients, sediments and other pollutants” (p 67). The project will also “improve connectivity and access to outdoor recreation” (p 74), by protecting “contiguous land areas suitable for: natural resource–based outdoor recreation; shorelands; threatened habitat areas with opportunities to improve connectivity of underserved areas; and rapidly growing areas or areas where land use changes may limit future outdoor recreation opportunities” (p 76). The project also addresses the habitat recommendation to “restore land, wetlands and wetland-associated watersheds” which is “especially imperative in the prairie and prairie-forest transition zones of the state” (p 80).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project fits nearly all of the Priority Actions listed in the L-SOHC Prairie Section Vision. The project will “protect, enhance, or restore existing wetland/upland complexes, or convert agricultural lands to new wetland/upland habitat complexes” and “protect, enhance and restore remnant native prairie, Big Woods forests and oak savannah”. By protecting and restoring lands containing large habitat complexes and those adjacent to and near existing AMA’s, WMA’s, and WPA’s, the project will convert agricultural land to wetland/upland to protect, enhance, or restore existing habitat complexes, and restore or enhance habitat on public lands, while providing fantastic opportunities for public recreation proximate to the Twin Cities urban area and outstate MN. Protecting and restoring the wetlands, uplands and riparian areas especially located around Caron Lake meet the priority actions to “protect, restore and enhance shallow lakes” and “protect, enhance and restore migratory habitat for waterfowl and related species, so as to increase migratory and breeding success”.The CRWP Strategic Plan lists their mission and the vision for the Cannon River Headwaters. This project furthers their vision of a “healthy watershed with clean water that is fishable, swimmable, and drinkable” and contributes to their mission of “protecting and improving the water quality and natural systems of the Cannon River watershed” (p 2).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project furthers the vision and goals of the MFRC and MFRP’s Recommendations for the Prairie Section of the state: the area of Rice and Le Sueur County included in this effort is specifically shown in their recommendation as a “Forest and Wildlife Habitat Priority Area” (Big Woods).The MN DNR Long Range Duck Recovery Plan states “Minnesota has lost more than 90% of its prairie wetlands” (p 8). The project employs the primary breeding strategy of the plan: “to [restore and protect] two million additional acres (30% wetland, 70% grassland) of habitat in wetland/grassland habitat complexes,” especially in seasonal basins and including shallow lakes (p 3). The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project also furthers the recreation strategy by “improving the quantity and quality of duck hunting and viewing opportunities” (p 5).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort helps accomplish MN DNR’s Long Range Plan for the Ring-Necked Pheasant by restoring grassland habitat as well as protecting shrub-scrub wetlands and other dense woody habitat in close proximity: “Because most pheasants move <2 miles between summer and winter range, both reproductive habitat and at least 1 winter area must be available within a 9-square mile landscape to sustain a population over the long term” (p 6).The project also meets the following overall water resource management goals from the Rice County Water Resource Management Plan: “Protect, preserve, and manage natural surface and groundwater storage systems”, “prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems”, and “protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities” (iii). The plan also lists wetlands as one of the County’s priority issues. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project meets the management goal to “restore pre-settlement wetlands that provide valuable fish and wildlife habitat, that act as recharge areas for groundwater to filter pollutants” (p vi)The LeSueur County Local Water Management Plan lists their priority concerns and goals to address the concerns. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project will create: “protected, restored and improved surface water quality in lakes, rivers and streams” and “minimized impacts from runoff of development areas and agricultural land that alter surface water hydrology” by addressing Objective 7: “Increase the number of wetland restoration acreage in the county” (p 3).Lastly, the effort helps fulfill the strategies of the DNR’s AMA and WMA acquisition plans: “[lake and warm water stream and river acquisitions] should be concentrated in the north central lakes and transition area between the prairie/grassland and forested portions of the state where development and land use pressures, habitat fragmentation, and increased demand for water-based outdoor recreation will continue to expand” (the Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex is located in the latter for purposes of AMA; p 20). The effort follows guidance in the WMA plan that “emphasis should be placed on habitat in larger complexes of grassland/wetland…including core wintering areas for resident wildlife species, and needed nesting habitat” (p 11).All parcels have been scored through DNR Division of Wildlife’s scientific SWAAT WMA scoring tool and have been ranked as priority acquisitions with a score of 12 or above. Additionally, the DNR’s Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of inter-divisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level (score= 6).",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Robert,McGillivray,"The Trust for Public Land","2610 University Ave West, Suite 300","St. Paul",MN,55114,"(651) 999-5307",rjm@tpl.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Rice,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cannon-river-headwaters-habitat-complex-phase-2,,,,

These forests are near the southern edge of their geographic range. With a warmer climate the health and productivity of these forests may be jeopardized by increased stresses such as heat, drought, fires, storms, and insect pests resulting in a much different forest ecosystem for northern Minnesota in the future. Scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are using this appropriation to evaluate how these forests are poised to respond to these changes and obtain the necessary data to guide forest management and planning efforts, such as determining practices that will help fend off threats from invasive species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project addressed the stewardship of forests in Minnesota's most renowned and iconic natural area - the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) - under a changing climate. Forests of the BWCAW are at the very southern edge of the boreal forest biome (cold adapted forests of spruce, fir, pine, birch and aspen), with temperate forest species (primarily red maple) from the south, as well as exotic invasive species poised to invade in a warming climate. The purpose of the study was to map these species and temperatures across the BWCAW to gain insight into change that may occur in the BWCAW as the climate warms. For this purpose, PhD student David Chaffin placed 106 temperature sensors across the landscape, which measured temperature hourly for two years, accompanied by 106 plots on which all tree species abundances were measured. Also, 100 transects totaling nearly 16 miles in length were placed across the landscape to sample for the presence of temperate tree species and invasive species. Results show that European earthworms are a common invasive group of species; about 70%, and 33% of the forests within the BWCAW are at minimal and high stages of invasion, respectively. Earthworm invasion is related to distances from campsites, portage trails and motorized lakes, but not to temperature. Summer (June, July and August) daily maximum temperatures show a west (warm) to east (cool) gradient of about 12-13 degrees F across the BWCAW. Red maple abundance was positively related to summer temperature, being highest in the west. The main synthesis from all of the data collected during the project is that boreal conifers like black spruce, balsam fir, and jack pine may find a cool-temperature refuge and persist in the eastern BWCAW, even in a very warm future climate, but would be co-dominant with expanding red maple populations. Earthworms will continue to expand and facilitate these changes in tree species composition.

A list of proposed restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Enhanced 347 acres of habitats ",,,"n/a ",2080000,,,.70,"MN Trout Unlimited","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Trout Unlimited enhanced in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along coldwater streams and lakes located on public lands and Aquatic Management Areas.  We originally proposed 11 projects, yet completed 13 projects. Contracting efficiencies and leveraging of other funding allowed us to add three more habitat enhancement projects in northeast Minnesota and to lengthen others.  One small budget project was dropped when a partner changed the scope from 144 acres to less than 15 and proposed costs outweighed the potential benefit. Despite dropping that project we finished with 89% of the proposed acres being achieved (347 acres completed versus 388 acres proposed).",,"The projects completed with Fy2013 funding used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits. The specific fish habitat enhancement methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed. MNTU tailored each project accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (“MNDNR”). Purposes: Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes: (a) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (b) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (c) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (d) maintain or increase adult trout abundance; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; (h) improve lake productivity for trout species; and (i) protect productive trout waters from undesirable invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods: Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel and help cool the water. Agricultural area example: Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices. The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive streamside sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas. In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem. To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps. First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas. Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain. Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock. In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used. After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created. Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone. Two methods are used to remedy this situation: increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks. Wooden structures are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them. Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality. Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native prairie grasses may be planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year. Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction. In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations.

As student enrollment has grown, so too has the demand for new programs for our students. Increase the number and depth of early childhood music education offerings, the number of summer camp programs for adults and children, and the number and types of performing opportunities for the ensembles. Success was measured by the number of new courses created (4), the number of students enrolled in these courses (39), and retention from one semester to the next (90% of children in the ensembles and Tin Whistle Troupe continued.) Musical progression was also evaluated and one student who started in the beginner ensemble was able to progress to the intermediate ensemble by the second term. All students advanced in the Tin Whistle Troupe program. 2: As the only comprehensive Irish music program in the state, the Center for Irish Music is committed to bringing its music and workshops to people who do not have access to our programs, either from geographical distance or mobility issues. The Center for Irish Music plans to expand its involvement in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Fest in Brainerd by bringing a larger performing ensemble and offering more music workshops. It also is bringing music to nursing homes, hospitals and community events across the Twin Cities. The success of outcome two was measured by the number of public performances (20), the number of students participating in these performances (53 age range from 5 to 70+), and the number of audience members reached (estimated at over 250,000 including the large festival performances and TV broadcast audience.)","The Center for Irish Music achieved this outcome by adding two performance ensemble classes in 2013, developing its Tin Whistle Troupe program, and entering into a visiting artist residency with famed accordion player Paddy O'Brien. One new ensemble was a beginner course for children under twelve, and one was an intermediate ensemble for children and youth. Both ensembles are feeder courses for the more advanced youth ensemble. The Tin Whistle Troupe program for 6-9 year-olds, developed by Executive Director Norah Rendell, doubled in size in less than a year. The students progressed from level one to level three. The visiting artist residency with Paddy O'Brien allowed both youth and adult to study and learn tunes over a nine-month period. The residency culminated in a public performance at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend in June 2013, and a larger public concert in Fall 2013. The tunes learned are also entering into the larger repertoire of the performance ensembles so the public can enjoy these largely unknown tunes. 2: The Center for Irish Music is committed to sharing its music with the community, especially in areas with limited access to Irish music. The outcome was focused on bringing Center for Irish music programming to the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in Brainerd, and music to hospitals, nursing homes and community events. This outcome was achieved as the Center for Irish Music participated in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in July 2013, sending one instructor Todd Menton, and several students to perform. The Center also performed at several large community events including: the Rochester Irish Music Festival, the Irish Fair of Minnesota, Art Under Glass, at the Como Zoo Conservancy, 2013 Step Up for Down's Syndrome Walk at Como Park, and Grand Old Day. Center for Irish Music ensembles also performed at four nursing homes/senior housing centers in 2013. A large broadcast audience was reached in two performances by the Advanced Youth Ensemble.

Sometimes we hear about results: once a young musician was coached in a master class, making immediate improvements in her playing, and she went on to win a competition shortly thereafter; another time a young child decided after hearing a Family Concert by a guitarist that he would take up the instrument, and he was still studying several years later.

19795,"Community Arts Support Grant",2013,5935,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Outcome 1: Command Performance Choirs will maintain two essential functions: educational programming on a weekly basis, and regular performance opportunities at current levels to benefit our students, families, and community. Weekly educational program schedules: In order for students to benefit and learn from systematic, incremental musical instruction and prepare for the challenges of performing before live audiences, Command Performance Choirs will maintain weekly class and instructional schedules. Our class schedules for Saturday morning are as follows: one and one-half hour of class/rehearsal and supplementary instructional time per week on Saturday mornings for each younger choir group: Prep, Premier, and Prima. Supplementary activities for the younger choir groups support and enhance the musical instruction and provide social bonding within the group and tactile benefits to the students. Command Performance Choirs's weekly Monday schedule is: one and one half hours rehearsal/instructional time for the Command group and one and one-half hours instructional time weekly for the Young Mens' Chorus. An additional instructional period of 45 minutes-one hour is dedicated to the Command Jazz group, which incorporates advanced vocal instruction with instruction in dance and movement. Command Performance Choirs will continue to provide additional rehearsal and instructional time in advance of impending performances, intermittently as needed. Weekly incremental instruction provides significant impact for the students by enabling them to learn and master musical material of increasing complexity and difficulty, and by learning the skills, intricacies, and the dynamics of performing before live audiences. Weekly instruction will ultimately culminate in a planned performance at the end of fall semester, in late winter, and at the end of spring semester. Performance outcomes: Command Performance Choirs will continue to conduct specific performances during the year. Our main performance project opportunities are typically in December and in late spring each year. This year, Command Performance Choirs conducted a Christmas Renaissance Theme project in December 2012, and in May of 2013, we will conduct a German Heritage Music and Community Festival in conjunction with the Elk River Lions, the Guardian Angels, and Elk River Parks and Recreation. In addition, CPC typically plans and carries out a late winter performance, as well as additional performances and educational outreach. These extra projects and/or performances are accomplished as we have time and resources and determine need, interest, and the benefit impact within the community and within the organization. Examples of these extra performances or outreaches that Command Performance produces or collaborates on include SingOut! In October of 2012, produced in collaboration with Land of Lakes Boys' Choir and the Elk River School District, and an upcoming outreach in March 2013 to PreK and early elementary ages: the Teddy Bear and American Girl Teas. These extra educational and performance based events provide enhanced artistic benefit to each student involved and make artistic performance and education easily accessible to the broader community and the target student populations. To summarize: Command Performance Choirs will maintain the current level of structured weekly education classes and rehearsal times for all choir groups from September through May. Command Performance Choirs will also maintain the current level of performance opportunities and the community educational and concert opportunities that are offered. We currently schedule a concert at the end of fall semester, one in late winter, and a larger production in late spring. In addition, we schedule other projects, music education outreach, and performances that align with our mission as needed. Outcome 2: We will increase media exposure for our organization and performances by 50% through newspaper, direct mail, email, internet and website, brochures, signs and posters and other media. Outcome 3: Command Performance Choirs will maintain scholarship funding to enable as many as desire to participate in our music and performance education programs without economic roadblocks that may prevent them from doing so. Command Performance turns no student or family away due to inability to pay tuition. Outcome 4: It is critical for our students, our families, and our audiences that we maintain our presence in the region and continue to provide the same level of instructional services, and same number (or more) performances throughout the region to meet a variety of needs, including free and low cost performances to a variety of audiences and populations, including students and seniors, who may never otherwise be able to enjoy them.Outcome 1: To maintain educational programming and performance opportunities at current levels--the evaluations of current educational programming and performance readiness will be conducted by assessments from staff and board members, and surveys to member families as to the effectiveness of the educational programming in accomplishing the objective, which is mastery of the material at all developmental levels and performance before live audiences. Periodic pre and post-performance discussions and feedback between directors, accompanists, and students will also be used to evaluate outcomes and determine whether objectives are being met. Surveys and meetings with parents and families and project collaborators to evaluate progress of learning and preparation will also be conducted on a project by project basis. As we continue to add additional performances and educational outreach offerings, such as the Teddy Bear/American Girl Teas and Sing Out!, performance and educational opportunities thereby increase for students, program participants, and audience members. Command Performance Choirs will be pleased to consider that increase as surpassing our basic proposed outcome goals for all age groups. Outcome 2: To gauge the impact of increased media exposure, we will compare paid and unpaid attendance numbers from 2013-14 with previous years, and membership levels in all choir groups to determine effectiveness of the types of media we use to increase awareness of our organization and our performances. Outcome 3, maintaining scholarship funding, shall be measured by retention of 50% or more of students who are unable to pay the full monthly tuition amounts. Outcome 4, to maintain our presence in the region, is evaluated by stable or increasing membership levels, stable or increasing audience numbers, and maintaining or increasing the number of our planned performances to benefit our students, their families, and our regional community. This is in spite of an environment where various factors compete for the time, energy, and financial support of area students and families.","Because of the 2013 Community Support grant funding, Command Performance Choirs was able to maintain the organizations two essential functions: weekly educational programming and performance opportunities for girls ages kindergarten through high school and post voice change boys. In addition, Command Performance Choirs increased the organization's media exposure by approximately 50% by utilizing more stream-send email outreach, newspaper ads, and program ads in other arts programming. Command Performance Choirs also maintained its financial need based scholarship program. And finally, Legacy funds helped us to provide free and low cost programming for students, seniors, and community groups who may never otherwise have been able to enjoy them.

In order for us to be successful, it is critical that we continue an open dialogue with our stakeholders: season ticket holders, artistic teams, community, and business partners. We measure our success with each of these groups differently: 1) AUDIENCE GROWTH: It is vital that we continue growing our audience and provide quality productions that entertain and challenge. We measure this through audience attendance, ticket revenues, and season ticket holder growth throughout the year. We also survey our audience on an annual basis to garner vital feedback regarding our programming, facilities, and artistic integrity. 2) COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Pioneer Place Theatre Company is setting a new standard in using professional theatre as a catalyst for community discussions on a wide range of topics. Whether it be using Tuesdays With Morrie as a guide for community discussions on end-of-life decisions, or Don Shelby's one-man Mark Twain show on the importance of the Mississippi River in Central MN, we will continue to find productions that bring greater meaning to our area and will measure the outcomes through participation in our round table discussions, feedback sessions, and the participation of local experts. 3) ARTISTIC INTEGRITY: Pioneer Place prides itself on presenting varied productions ranging from comedy, drama, to classics, and musicals. A typical season is presented in a way to give our audience members the opportunity to engage with a variety of theatrical forms and talents. It is our goal that we continue to bring the best in talent to our stages in both technical and performing artists. We measure this through the audience feedback on the quality of our productions, but more importantly, by how we are engaged by the theatre community in terms of auditions, participation, and the level of actors and technicians who work in our productions. 4) BUSINESS COMMUNITY: We feel that Pioneer Place Theatre Company's role in our community is much greater than simply producing plays. It is our role to be involved in the business community, playing an important role in employee recruitment, tourism, economic development, and education. We do this by being actively involved in various organizations and committees, opening our space for community meetings, and participating in local conversations regarding the business environment.

We do this by being actively involved in various organizations and committees, opening our space for community meetings, and participating in local conversations regarding the business environment. We measure our success through the success of our business partners.","Pioneer Place Theatre Company' evaluates its outcomes on four areas as determined by our mission and vision. Those areas include: AUDIENCE GROWTH, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, ARTISTIC INTEGRITY, and BUSINESS COMMUNITY. In regards to Audience Growth, we evaluate season ticket holder revenue, single ticket revenue, and outreach programs that may not increase revenue, but increase audiences and visibility to our theatre. In the 2013 year, our season ticket renewal increased slightly over the previous year to a total of 432 season ticketholders. Overall ticket revenue decreased primarily due to a scheduling change whereas we removed the October show and added it to January, and we only ran 14 performances of our Holiday show instead of the 19 performances the year below. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT continues to be a strong cornerstone of Pioneer Place as we brought in a remarkable production of Mark Twain's Life On The Mississippi starring Don Shelby from WCCO fame, where we partnered with the Stearns History Museum to create a series of talkbacks regarding the importance of The Mississippi River in our community. Continuing to use theatre as a catalyst for opening dialogues with our audience, we also produced a wonderful 9-woman show titled Talking With where we brought to life the stories of 9 women in varying phases of their lives. Again, we hosted talkbacks with local experts and the cast to continue the dialogue and discussion of women's issues. We strongly believe this is a critical element of sustaining theatre in Central Minnesota and a very unique way to collaborate with community organizations to bring light to issues. Also, Pioneer Place Theatre Company's annual Pack The Porch Food Drive raised over $15,000 cash and nearly a ton and a half of food for our local Catholic Charities Food Shelf. This sort of community involvement is paramount to the success of the theatre and we continue to look for new avenues to bring awareness and visibility to our organization. ARTISTIC INTEGRITY is what our theatre was founded on and continues to be the pillar that holds it all together. By producing topical shows along with entertaining classics, Pioneer Place is able to bring in regional talent and pair that with our wonderful local resources to create theatrical experiences our audiences want so much more of. We evaluate our artistic integrity through our audience by conducting annual surveys where we question them on subjects ranging from costume and set quality, to play choices and restrooms cleanliness. These surveys are very useful for our artistic team in picking shows and ensuring we are meeting the theatre needs of our patrons. We also evaluate by participation of our actors through auditions. Pioneer Place boasts a large roster of talent and when we audition for our season, attendance continues to grow with professionals hoping to perform for our Central Minnesota audience. BUSINESS COMMUNITY is the final success measurement. We believe that the arts community and business community share a common goal - the creation of a vital and healthy community rich with jobs, growth, quality of life, and education. By using theatre and partnering with local businesses in terms of sponsorships, cross promotions, and employee involvement, we are able to use the arts to create an environment that companies can use for recruitment purposes, employee recognition, economic development, and tourism. We measure our success in this category by corporate sponsorship - both in-kind and financial. 2013 showed growth as we added two new corporate sponsors to our roster, and maintained all existing sponsorships.",,233713,"Other, local or private",243713,500,,1,"Pioneer Place Theatre Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Pioneer Place Theatre Company is Central Minnesota's premier professional theatre, producing a seven-show season from September - May annually.",,,2012-09-01,2013-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Daniel,Barth,"Pioneer Place Theatre Company","22 5th Ave S","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 492-5541 ",dan@dmrpioneer.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-grant-47,"Chris Rasmussen: art teacher for 35 years at Foley Senior High (retired), Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member and College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Foley High School Art Teacher, potter; Peter Veljkovich: realtor (retired), member of the Little Fine Arts Committee, county representative for the South Suburban Arts Committee, photographer, Disc Jockey; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; John Stander: Executive Director of Elk River Arts Alliance, career school administrator; Janice Courtney: arts advisor/Assistant Director of Saint Cloud State University Program Board; P.J.

The number of young singers auditioning for a spot in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota continues to increase each year, with the number of males completely surpassing any other previous year. We hope to see more young high school men audition for a spot in our Mixed Chorale. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota will be continuing its goal of commissioning a new work each season, thus adding a quality piece of repertoire to the choral world. By surveying our audiences at each Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota-sponsored concert, we anticipate the outcome and feedback will allow us to plan future concerts, while making sure that our mission is being met, and the community is satisfied with the level of choral music that is being offered by our organization. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota.The primary focus of the Student Leadership Team would be to assist the conductors in making sure that their peers (singers) are satisfied with how the choir is functioning, as well as making sure that the choirs are operating cohesively. The purpose is to develop leaders within Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and offer a positive environment where high school youth can go above and beyond “just singing.” The conductors and Student Leadership Team members would meet regularly to discuss the atmosphere of the choirs as well as any concerns. The Student Leadership Team would meet one last time at the end of the season to assess the year and effectiveness of having a student-led team. At the end of the season, we hope to observe an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who wish to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. As the community becomes more aware of our program, we are able to measure the number of collaboration requests from the local area as well as into the Twin Cities metro. We hope to continue to see an increase in the number of young singers auditioning each year. This past year, we saw the highest number of high school males auditioning for a spot in our Mixed Chorale choir. We had to turn some away to keep the choir balanced, which was a first. Many supporters – directors and singers - were excited about the possibility of adding a second group to our organization, as evidenced by the number of women who auditioned. We can continue to evaluate our two ensembles by the number of registered auditions. As our current singers have positive experiences while being a part of the Youth Chorale, they are ambassadors to others in their schools, all while promoting an interest in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. Last year’s commissioned piece was met with great excitement by our singers and made its world premiere debut during our solo concert at the Paramount Theatre. This year, well-known composer Joshua Shank will be composing a piece for our choirs and we plan to perform his composition more than once next year, but also keep it in our repertoire for use in the future. By using an online and paper format to survey our audiences at each Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota-sponsored concert, we will measure and evaluate the feedback which will allow us to plan future concerts, while making sure that our mission is being met, the community is satisfied with the level of choral music that is being offered by our organization, and the likelihood that audiences will return in the future. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota.

Grants shall not be made for activities required to fulfill the duties of owners of lands subject to conservation easements. Grants shall not be made from = appropriations in this paragraph for projects that have a total project cost exceeding $575,000. $366,000 of this appropriation may be spent for personnel costs and other direct and necessary administrative costs. Grantees may acquire land or interests in land. Easements must be permanent. Land acquired in fee must be open to hunting and fishing during the open season unless otherwise provided by state law. The program shall require a match of at least ten percent from nonstate sources for all grants. The match may be cash or in-kind resources. For grant applications of $25,000 or less, the commissioner shall provide a separate, simplified application process. Subject to Minnesota Statutes, the commissioner of natural resources shall, when evaluating projects of equal value, give priority to organizations that have a history of receiving or charter to receive private contributions for local conservation or habitat projects. If acquiring land or a conservation easement, priority shall be given to projects associated with existing wildlife management areas under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 8; scientific and natural areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 84.033 and 86A.05, subdivision 5; and aquatic management areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 86A.05, subdivision 14, and 97C.02. All restoration or enhancement projects must be on land permanently protected by a conservation easement or public ownership or in public waters as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.005, subdivision 15. Priority shall be given to restoration and enhancement projects on public lands. Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 13, applies to grants awarded under this paragraph. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2016. No less than five percent of the amount of each grant must be held back from reimbursement until the grant recipient has completed a grant accomplishment report by the deadline and in the form prescribed by and satisfactory to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council.

Grant activities include the enhancement, restoration, or protection of forests, wetlands, prairies, and habitat for fish, game, or wildlife in Minnesota. A 10% match from non-state sources is required for all grants. CPL Program Staff solicited applications and worked with applicants to submit applications, oversaw the grant selection process, prepared and executed grant documents, reviewed expenditure documentation, made reimbursement payments, monitored grant work, assisted recipients with closing out their agreements, and prepared reports as required by LSOHC. Applicants describe the location of the work (county and ecological subsection), activity type, and habitat in their application. They also describe how their actions will benefit habitat and fish, game and wildlife. For acquisition projects, applicants describe their parcel selection process. Funds for projects under this appropriation were available until June 30, 2016. In administering this program, the DNR complied with the Department of Administration - Office of Grants Management policies. Stakeholders were involved in this proposal as applicants or reviewers (if no conflict of interest exists). There is no known stakeholder opposition to this program. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted on the CPL website in August, 2012. This document contained grant program information, application requirements and scoring criteria, grant reporting requirements, and state agency contacts. A list of ECP Projects and criteria for each was developed by conservation biologists so grant applicants could easily apply and receive funding for commonly-accepted restoration and enhancement conservation projects. The RFP and grant agreements incorporated appropriate principles and criteria from LSOHC’s FY13 Call for Funding Requests and associated legislation. Simplified application processes were in place for applicants requesting up to $25,000 or ECP grants. Grants were selected for funding once in the full for the Traditional cycle, and ECP applications were approved continuously throughout the year by CPL staff. CPL staff reviewed applications to make sure they were complete and met grant program requirements. Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, reviewed and scored applications based on established criteria. These committees included representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, state universities or private colleges, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and other appropriate members from government, non-profit organizations, and private businesses. A final ranking committee made up of the Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry considered TRC, Division and Regional DNR comments, and recommended projects and funding levels to the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Commissioner made the final decisions on all projects funded and funding levels. Efforts were made to evenly distribute the selected grants by geographic location and activity. CPL staff worked with grantees to ensure financial reviews, grant agreements, and any other necessary paperwork was completed. Grantees submitted annual accomplishment reports, accounting for the use of grant and match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected. The report also included an evaluation of these results. A final report was required by all grantees. CPL staff submitted accomplishment reports to LSOHC. Accomplishment information was also posted on the CPL website. Grant administration costs were billed using actual costs. These costs included salary and fringe for grants staff, direct support services, travel, supplies, and expense. An internal Service Level Agreement (SLA) was developed with DNR’s Management Information Systems to update and manage the online grant application system. (This budget item is included in the Contracts line in the attached Budget Table.) Applicants were required to budget for DNR Land Acquisition costs that are necessary to support the land acquisition process for parcels to be conveyed to the DNR. The Division of Fish and Wildlife staff provided ongoing technical guidance. This technical guidance helped applicants prepare grant proposals, and helped grantees meet requirements for working on state lands. Additional technical guidance was provided for land acquisitions, program planning and management, accounting and grantee payment. Grantees were paid on a reimbursement or “for services rendered” basis. Grantees must provide proof that the work was completed or a purchase made in order to receive payment. Grantees were required to provide a 10% match from nonstate sources.

",3480000,,,1,DNR,"State Government","We used a programmatic approach to achieve prioritized aquatic habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement for lakes, trout streams, and rivers across all LSOHC planning regions of Minnesota.",,"This appropriation funded a mixture of restoration, enhancement, and protection of aquatic habitat by the DNR. We were successful in completing our proposed projects, and in meeting may of the goals included in our accomplishment plan. The different projects accomplished from this appropriation are summarized below.Habitat protection was accomplished using a mixture of fee title and easement acquisition. For easements we purchased 11 parcels on trout streams located on either the North Shore or in southeast Minnesota. Easements will protect 5.3 miles of stream and 94 acres of habitat. Fee title acquisition protected 5 parcels of lakeshore, including one parcel that was purchased with funds from both ML2011 and ML2012 funding. Acreage and shoreline feet protected have been pro-rated between appropriations based in their respective contribution to the purchase price. A total of 2.6 miles of shoreline and 58 acres of habitat are protected by these parcels. The amount of habitat protected in easement and fee title falls short of our proposed outcomes for this appropriation. Because land values vary across the state it is difficult to anticipate how much habitat can be protected for a given amount of money. It is also hard to anticipate the amount of landowner donation we will receive. We were successful in leveraging an additional $1.3 million toward protection work from a mixture of sources, including landowner donation.The Mille Lacs Lake shoreland enhancement involved the removal of breakwall from a former marina that is now a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Breakwall was removed along 455 feet of shore and returned to a natural shoreline, with native riparian vegetation planted in all areas. This habitat will benefit fish species using the nearshore area of the lake as well as other wildlife such as birds, reptiles and amphibians that use a mixture of nearshore and riparian habitat.The Kingsbury Creek stream restoration project removed masonry walls that had been built along the banks through that reach and were limiting habitat. The project also included constructed a new stream channel through a reach that had previously been impounded by a dam. The stream channel was resized to appropriate dimensions, and habitat structures such as toe wood, rootwads, and cross vanes were installed. The project will benefit resident brook trout as well as steelhead that spawn and rear juveniles in Kingsbury Creek.A fish passage project at Shell Lake converted a dam into an arch-rapids, allowing fish to migrate in and out of the lake freely. Fish passage is especially important at Shell Lake, which is subject to occasional partial winter-kills. Recolonization from the Shell River will help the lake to recover from these events. This project was added to our original accomplishment plan and completed using surplus funds realized due to cost savings from other projects.A second stream habitat enhancement project was done using surplus funds. This one was located on the Pomme de Terre River, where a riffle and adjoining streambank was enhanced to provide better habitat in a former reservoir where the dam had been removed several years previous.Backwater habitat on the Mississippi River within Weaver Bottoms was enhanced to create critical backwater habitat that had been lost due to decades of sedimentation. The deepwater habitat is critical for many fish species such as bluegill and black crappie that over-winter there. The nine acres of newly enhanced habitat has shown high use by Mississippi River fish, and anglers have taken notice and are using the area as well.This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady. The dam had washed out in a 2011 flood, leaving behind an eroding mud flat that threatened to harm downstream reaches as it eroded, and contained poor habitat in the channels that had cut through the mud. The former dam site's grade was stabilized by creating a rapids of stable rock material, and within the former reservoir new stream channels with appropriate dimensions were constructed. Habitat in the new channels was restored to include woody material as well as rocky riffles. Re-vegetation of the surrounding reservoir sediments with native plant species will provide quality riparian and upland habitat as well. The project was completed in partnership with Olmsted County ($125,736), the city of Oronco ($83,824) and DNR Dam Safety bonding funds ($1,000,000) all contributing funding. An additional $236,540 of in-kind staff time was contributed by Olmsted County. In addition to the 147 acres of habitat restored, the project opened up access to 119 miles of stream.Stream habitat work for this appropriation and other LSOH-funded projects from other appropriations was aided by funding for a stream restoration coordinator and intern. These positions aided in survey work, design, permitting, contracting, and coordination with project partners on these complex projects.

A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem production, such as forest growth, carbon storage, and wildlife habitat. With this appropriation, scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources are evaluating the ecological impacts of forest biomass harvesting in northern Minnesota. Results from this effort will be used by the energy industry and forestry professionals in both the public and private sector to guide long-term management that maximizes harvesting without negatively impacting forest productivity and ecological integrity. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Minnesota's forests are currently being viewed as potential feedstocks for production of renewable energy. A primary concern about harvesting forest biomass to generate renewable energy is the long-term impacts these harvests will have on soil nutrients and long-term ecosystem productivity, particularly in forests growing on nutrient poor soils. This project was designed to increase our understanding of the ecological impacts of biomass harvesting through establishment of a network of research sites in forests on nutrient poor soils. Treatments representing various levels of biomass removal and live-tree retention were implemented at four large-scale (80 acre) research sites in Becker, Hubbard, and Wadena Counties and were used to evaluate the importance of post-harvest slash and live-tree retention in maintaining the resilience and sustainability of jack pine forests under different biomass harvesting regimes. Treatments included current site-level guidelines for slash retention to allow for evaluations of the effectiveness of this practice at reducing impacts on long-term soil nutrients and forest vegetation. Field measurements from these sites were used to model the long-term effects of repeated biomass removals on ecosystem productivity. Results from this project indicate that there is no difference in post-harvest slash levels between areas in which slash was retained to meet current site-level guidelines and in places in which whole trees were harvested (i.e., no slash deliberately retained). The overall levels of slash retention in these areas were half those found after similar treatments in aspen-dominated forests on nutrient rich sites, highlighting the potential for greater nutrient depletion following biomass harvesting on nutrient poor sites and suggest a need for refinement of site-level guidelines to increase retention levels for nutrient poor soils. Long-term field data and model results indicate that biomass harvests that retain less than 40% of available residues may result in lower soil carbon stocks after several harvest rotations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The results of this project have been shared on numerous occasions with resource professionals, policy makers, citizens, and scientists over the past three years in efforts to inform forest conservation decisions regarding biomass harvesting impacts. These dissemination activities have included the development of a fact sheet for LCCMR members that was distributed on the LCCMR tour of Itasca State Park on July 18, 2013. In addition, an overview of the project and results were shared with private forest landowners through a University of Minnesota Extension Webinar to private forest landowners and county, state, and federal natural resource managers on December 9, 2013, as well as through a meeting of the Forest Operations and Planning Section of the Minnesota DNR Division of Forestry on January 8, 2014. Results were also presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Minneapolis, MN on August 5, 2013. Finally, results regarding the impact of different levels of post-harvest slash retention on soil nutrients have been discussed with members of the Minnesota Forest Resources Council and are being used to inform future guideline revisions. Publications resulting from this work are available for download from the Department of Forest Resources web site (www.forestry.umn.edu).

Results from this project indicate that there is no difference in post-harvest slash levels between areas in which slash was retained to meet current site-level guidelines and in places in which whole trees were harvested (i.e., no slash deliberately retained). The overall levels of slash retention in these areas were half those found after similar treatments in aspen-dominated forests on nutrient rich sites, highlighting the potential for greater nutrient depletion following biomass harvesting on nutrient poor sites and suggest a need for refinement of site-level guidelines to increase retention levels for nutrient poor soils. Long-term field data and model results indicate that biomass harvests that retain less than 40% of available residues may result in lower soil carbon stocks after several harvest rotations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The results of this project have been shared on numerous occasions with resource professionals, policy makers, citizens, and scientists over the past three years in efforts to inform forest conservation decisions regarding biomass harvesting impacts. These dissemination activities have included the development of a fact sheet for LCCMR members that was distributed on the LCCMR tour of Itasca State Park on July 18, 2013. In addition, an overview of the project and results were shared with private forest landowners through a University of Minnesota Extension Webinar to private forest landowners and county, state, and federal natural resource managers on December 9, 2013, as well as through a meeting of the Forest Operations and Planning Section of the Minnesota DNR Division of Forestry on January 8, 2014. Results were also presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Minneapolis, MN on August 5, 2013. Finally, results regarding the impact of different levels of post-harvest slash retention on soil nutrients have been discussed with members of the Minnesota Forest Resources Council and are being used to inform future guideline revisions. Publications resulting from this work are available for download from the Department of Forest Resources web site (www.forestry.umn.edu). Additional publications from this work that are currently in development will also be posted on this site and shared with LCCMR staff for dissemination.",,"Final Report",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Anthony,D'Amato,"U of MN","1530 N Cleveland Ave","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 625-3733",damato@umn.edu,"Analysis/Interpretation, Assessment/Evaluation, Inventory, Modeling, Monitoring, Research","University of Minnesota ",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Morrison, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine, Polk, Red Lake, Roseau, St. Louis, Todd, Wadena",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/evaluation-biomass-harvesting-impacts-minnesota-s-forests,,,,

This appropriation is being used to better understand the numbers, distribution, migration routes, and habitat needs of golden eagles in Minnesota. This information will inform natural resource management decisions and be used to educate landowners and the general public about golden eagles in the state. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Golden Eagle Survey Project represents groundbreaking research on a bird that was previously not thought to be a regular inhabitant of Minnesota. Through field observations and telemetry, the Golden Eagle Survey Project is expanding the understanding of population, distribution, habitats, habitat use, migration routes, breeding areas, and management needs of the population of golden eagles that winter in Minnesota. Annual surveys coordinated by the Golden Eagle Survey Project have documented a regular migratory population using the bluffland subsection of the Paleozoic Plateau in southeast Minnesota in winter. During annual winter surveys in 2012-2014, an average of 36 golden eagles have been observed in Minnesota's blufflands. Using satellite telemetry to track golden eagles, the Project is expanding the world's knowledge of the range, location of breeding territories, and migration routes of this previously unstudied population. One golden eagle, #46, was released in January 2011 with a GPS satellite-linked transmitter. The Project tracked #46 for more than 950 days, from his release in Wabasha County and his migrations to Nunavut, Canada and back to wintering range in southeast Minnesota. Data collected on golden eagle habitat use, preferred prey, and range will be used to ensure appropriate management and conservation action to protect critical wintering habitat for golden eagles in Minnesota. Thousands of people have learned about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota through the Golden Eagle Survey Project's outreach to landowners, wildlife managers and the general public. In programs at the National Eagle Center and throughout the state, the Golden Eagle Project increased awareness and understanding of golden eagles as regular winter inhabitants of the blufflands region. The Project's outreach to conservation professionals and the general public continues to broaden awareness of this unique species in Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Golden Eagle Survey Project data are publicly available on the National Eagle Center's website. Since January, 2012, the National Eagle Center's website has seen nearly 30,000 unique visits to the Golden Eagle Survey Project information pages.

The largest undertaking was a performance by Stroia Ballet of ""Peter & the Wolf,"" a fully narrated ballet specifically for children. GRRL sent children from 17 schools to the performance, and tickets were also used by area families who homeschool their children. There were four performances on two dates in April, with nearly all 700 seats full for each performance. One attendee wrote, ""Today we were able to go to the Paramount to watch the ballet of Peter and the Wolf. It was very extraordinary! Today we also learned the five positions in ballet. The costumes were fabulous! The whole show was just so tremendous! Thank you for our tickets."" GRRL also contracted with Paynesville-based artist Jennifer Anfinson to offer art workshops at various branches throughout the year. Anfinson offered workshops on a variety of art topics, including jewelry-making and using recycled materials to create art pieces.These workshops were very popular intergenerational programs that involved children, teens, and adults of all ages. ""I just love Jen! She's a wonderful teacher. I would attend any class that she taught,"" wrote one attendee.",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kirsty,Smith,"Great River Regional Library","1300 West St. Germain","Saint Cloud",MN,56301,(320)650-2512,kirstys@grrl.lib.mn.us,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Fund Administration, Grants/Contracts, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Department of Education","Storia Ballet Paramount Theater St. Cloud - GRRL FY 13","Benton, Morrison, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/great-river-regional-library-legacy-grant-sfy-2012-sfy-2013,,,,

Lands being considered for permanent protection in this round of funding are located in Becker, Beltrami, Blue Earth, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Le Sueur, Otter Tail, Pope, and Wabasha counties.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSIn the seventh phase of our Shorelands Protection project, the Minnesota Land Trust continued to work with landowners to secure permanent conservation easements on quality habitat along or containing critical riparian lands. We initiated or continued contact with more than 30 landowners and completed eight conservation easements. Collectively, these easements preserve approximately 700 acres of land - exceeding our original goal of 400 to 600 acres - and protect nearly 34,172 linear feet of fragile shoreline. Highlights from the eight completed projects include:One donated easement over 30 acres in Kandiyohi County that protected over 2,600 feet of natural shoreline along the Middle Fork of the Crow River.A complex of five easements surrounding five lakes in Becker County that protected approximately 474 acres and over 3 miles of undeveloped shoreline. Four of the five easements were donated to the Land Trust.One donated easement in Otter Tail County that protected 48 acres and over 2,900 feet of shoreline along Blanche Lake, immediately adjacent to Glendalough State Park.Another donated easement that protected 145 acres of forest and wetlands in Beltrami County and preserved almost two miles of shoreline along Black Lake and Three Island Lake.Overall, this phase of the grant program protected 269 acres of forest, 183 acres of wetlands, and over 6 miles of undeveloped shoreline.All eight projects met the following selection criteria:Habitat: quality and quantity of existing habitat on site; protects riparian areas and buffers water resourcesContext: proximity and relationship to other protected landsOpportunity: cost-benefit ratio: landowners willingness and readiness to participate nowOther Benefits: meeting multiple objectives, including visual and physical access, forestry goals, water quality, etc.Additionally, the Land Trust prepared baseline property reports for each easement, detailing the condition of the property for future monitoring and enforcement. To fund this required perpetual obligation, the Land Trust dedicated funds to its segregated Stewardship and Enforcement Fund for several completed projects. For these projects, we estimated the anticipated annual expenses of each project and the investment needed to generate annual income sufficient to cover these expenses in perpetuity - all in accordance with our internal policies and procedures as approved by LCCMR. We will report to LCCMR annually on the status of the Stewardship and Enforcement Fund and the easements acquired with funds from this grant. All but one of the eight easements completed under this grant were entirely donated. The value is known for only two of the donated easements, which together total $204,000 in appraised donated value under this grant. The Land Trust purchased one of the Fischer Lakes easements for the appraised value of $170,000. The cost to the State of Minnesota to complete the eight projects completed under this phase of the grant was just under $600 per acre. Cumulatively, across all phases of the HCP program, the Land Trust has completed 89 conservation easements, protecting 8,245 acres of critical habitat and more than 258,000 feet of shoreline, at a cost to the State of approximately $320 per acre. The Land Trust's work on this project continues to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of working with conservation easements to protect natural and scenic resources along Minnesota's lakes, rivers, and streams, as the cost to the State was well below the cost to purchase land along our increasingly threatened shorelines. This grant continued to generate interest among landowners, and therefore, ongoing funding will be important to sustained success. Additionally, our experiences during this phase of the grant indicate that funds to purchase easements will be necessary in the future as work becomes more targeted, selective, and focused on building complexes of protected land.

A summary report was written highlighting major portions of the collection providing details on the current conditions of the collection. That report will be used moving forward to measure how far NHS is progressing on its quest for improvement. Even more important to NHS than the summary of current conditions is the pair of reports that were written noting projects that can be undertaken to improve preservation within the collection. During the assessment, similar improvements were observed to be needed throughout the collection. These similar needs formed the basis of the project reports. Many of these projects can be packaged, so-to-speak, for funding from target audiences and select grants. Interns and volunteers can be matched to needed projects so that the improvements can be made in an orderly manner. The reports outline exactly what improvement is needed in which capacity in the collection. They remove the guess work from short and long term planning, something that was greatly needed for NHS moving forward. The intellectual control gained from knowing where the deficiencies are will drive future choices and will ultimately improve the overall condition of the collection. Long Term Measurable Outcomes NHS undertook the box-level assessment to observe current conditions of the collection and to understand the needs of the collection to improve preservation. With no concrete knowledge of what needs the collection had, it was believed that the improvements would be minimal and could reasonably be completed within a five-year timeframe. Completing the assessment has changed this belief. Evidence of the scope and magnitude of the improvements that are needed in the collection since completing the assessment could very well demand a much lengthier timeline for completion. This was not the outcome the staff as NHS foresaw, but it is a reasonable, fact-based expectation grounded on the completed assessment and the reports generated from it if staffing levels remain the same. However, on the positive side, NHS has gained a much clearer picture of the needs of the collection from this assessment on which to base long term planning no matter how long completion of these projects take.",,,350,,7350,,"Debby Nitz, Christian Hakala, Michele Reese, Jodi Lawson, Sam Demas, David Neuger, Alex Beeby, Sarah Beimers, Heather Scott, Jane McWilliams, Susannah Ottaway, Alice Thomas, Scott Richardson, Jim Christensen, Lisa Peterson",0.24,"Northfield Historical Society","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To conduct an item-level conditions assessment of the museum collections.",,,2013-03-01,2014-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Hayes,Scriven,"Northfield Historical Society","408 Division Street",Northfield,MN,55057,507-645-9268,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Rice,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/item-level-assessment-nhs-collection,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

Landwehr and Director Boggess.  Once LSOHC approved the change, the project came together in just a few weeks.  Permits were obtained, four large rocks were donated at no charge by Cliffs Natural Resources-North Shore Mining and the project begun under the direction of the MNDNR.The best two boulders were chosen and mobilized to the site.  In less than three days the boulders were placed and pinned to the bedrock.  The placed boulders created the needed jumping pool immediately below the falls.  Monitoring has confirmed that fish can now easily pass the former barrier in most flows to gain access to the fertile spawning grounds upstream throughout the entire watershed.We had excellent cooperation from St. Louis County Forestry and the MN DNR.TREE PLANTING:The Lake Superior Steelhead Association (LSSA) has long believed that a healthy watershed includes a healthy and diverse riparian zone.  During the initial walk through under Phase I, a superb planting site was noted in the Main West Branch, with excellent access via the North Shore State Trail.A plan was immediately established for a LSSA ‘volunteer’ plant in the spring of 2013.  The BMP for riparian plantings presently is that of a mix of coniferous and deciduous species to provide a more diverse forest.  The LSSA also wanted to expand the plantings to include species that may become common due to future climate change.  The species to be included in our riparian zone plantings in Phase I included tamarack, white spruce, silver maple, river birch and swamp white oak.  The listed species are all native to Minnesota and were approved by the MN DNR.Following the successful 2013 plant, LSSA members came back in 2014 to plant 150 deciduous trees at the same site.  Also in the spring of 2014, Conservation Corp Minnesota planted hundreds more deciduous trees  in another beaver meadow just downstream from the volunteer site.One major lesson learned was that larger sized trees are needed in order to compete with the invasive reed canary grass found throughout the watershed in old beaver meadows.We had excellent cooperation with both the MN DNR and the St. Louis County Forestry Dept. for our planting work.STREAM ASSESSMENTBefore any rehabilitation project could begin in the watershed, the LSSA realized that information must be gathered that would allow us to prioritize any future rehabilitation efforts.Water temperature was a key so 23 temperature loggers were deployed throughout the watershed.  Loggers were in place from June 1 through September 30 so that the data would coincide with data collected by the MNDNR.  This data determined where juvenile trout could survive and grow, which provided a habitat restoration focal point.The Main West Branch and major unnamed tributaries were assessed for stream conditions, possible connectivity blockages, the state of the riparian cover, condition of stream banks, the location of adult spawning habitat and availability of juvenile holding habitat.  The identified impacts were compiled and overlaid with water temperature data so rehabilitation priorities could be selected based on stream biology.  One fact quickly learned was the significant impact of past and present beaver activity in the watershed.  One unnamed tributary had 29 current or historic dams in just over six miles of stream.  The beaver meadows created by these dams allow for invasive reed canary grass to infiltrate throughout the riparian zone eliminating any regeneration of trees.Through the assessment, the LSSA learned that more spring inflow occurred than originally thought by the MNDNR.  We are now able to predict where trout can live, thrive or parish based on water temperature.BLACK ASHIn the Scope of Work for Phase I of our Knife River Habitat Restoration Grant, identification and possible under plantings in black ash stands were discussed.  The emerald ash borer (EAB) has the potential to wipe out huge tracts of black ash stands through out the United Sates.  According to Laurentian RC& D GIS data, the Main West Branch has over 10 miles of black ash cover in the immediate riparian zone.During the assessment portion of Phase I, field notes and GPS coordinates were taken on black ash stands throughout the Main West Branch.  Technological advances have improved making identification of specific tree species possible by satellite imagery.  LIDAR and color infrared imagery (CIR), when combined, give the height, mass and specific electromagnetic spectrum to plants.  Black ash is rather unique in that it is usually the last to leaf out in the spring and one the earliest to lose its leaves in the fall.  Using our field data and comparing the CIR imagery for the area after black ash had lost their leaves and other deciduous trees maintained their leave cover, we could identify areas that held black ash.Our work was very timely in that the EAB has now been identified in Duluth’s Park Point neighborhood, most recently, in far eastern Duluth.One major item learned from both CIR/LIDAR imagery and verified in the field is that black ash stands are of mixed deciduous species-ash, maple and some yellow birch making under planting less imperative.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kevin,Bovee,"Lake Superior Steelhead Association","PO Box

Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional public library system receives a formula-driven allocation from the annual $3 million Minnesota Regional Library Legacy Grant.Lake Agassiz Regional Library (LARL) is a consolidated regional public library system in northwestern Minnesota. LARL has thirteen branch public libraries and nine Library Link sites located in seven counties: Becker, Clay, Clearwater, Mahnomen, Norman, Polk, and Wilkin. With Arts and Cultural Heritage funds, LARL and its member libraries present an array of arts, cultural, literary, and Minnesota history programs in collaboration with arts and cultural organizations, independent artists, historical societies, and community organizations.  Programs contribute to the cultural vitality of the region and build a lasting legacy. ",,"Lake Agassiz Regional Library's The Beat Goes On Legacy Series offers a variety of programs based on Minnesota history, music, literature, and culture. Three programs offered with great success include the following: Dr. Verlyn Anderson's presentation on Travel Routes of Scandinavian Immigrants during the 19th Century; Brian Miller and Randy Gosa's Irish Songs from the Lumber Camps;and Dorothy Lund Nelson's presentation on The Orphan Train Rider Movement. All programs were well attended and received rave reviews. Dr. Verlyn Anderson is a well known historian in the Red River Valley and has a fantastic reputation for delivering a knowledgeable, historical presentation with humor. Anderson's presentation based on Scandinavian history was very well received within the LARL region, where many individuals can to relate to the stories and accounts of the Scandinavian culture. Participants stated, ""Dr. Anderson's talks are always a great combination of good historical knowledge and delightful personal stories."" Dr. Anderson's tour traveled to nine LARL locations with over 200 in total attendance. Attendees reported that their expectations were exceeded in all locations. Brian Miller and Randy Gosa's Irish Songs from the Lumber Camps was offered in two LARL locations. The attendances of the programs were quite high for the locations with 84 in total attendance. The audience appreciated the mix of storytelling, history and music. Expectations were exceeded during both performances, while one attendee stated, ""Enjoyed it very much; one of the best performances I've seen at the library!"" In addition, the program drew individuals from nine neighboring communities to see the program surrounding such a unique topic for the area. Dorothy Lund Nelson's program, The Orphan Train Rider Movement was offered in nine locations around the LARL region with over 360 in attendance. This program was attended by individuals of all ages and again, expectations were exceeded by all. Nelson's presentation was very eye opening to many participants who were unfamiliar with the movement and had never heard of this event in history. Attendees praised Nelson's knowledge of the topic, in addition to her ability to tell the story to all ages.",2011-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Liz,Lynch,"Lake Agassiz Regional Library","118 5th Street South P.O.

The shallow lakes and large marshes that remain now serve as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes, and are often those basins that were too deep to drain. These remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly altered and intensively drained landscape, and are easily accessed by invasive fish such as common carp. As a result, many basins are now turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels that allow carp and other invasive fish to proliferate and aquatic ecology to stagnate. The results is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl, especially those species that rely on aquatic foods exclusively such as diving ducks.As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north to breed in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment further north, and also again in the fall when their passage through Minnesota appears briefer each year. Those waterfowl that remain here to breed find poor brood-rearing habitat, as shallow lakes and marshes have a paucity of high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely. These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions.To remedy this situation, Ducks Unlimited’s “Living Lakes Initiative” assists the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and other conservation partners to enhance and restore Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands. This grant supported Phase 2 of Ducks Unlimited's biological and engineering work to design and construct water control structures and fish barriers. DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions. DU biologists and engineers surveyed, designed, and constructed the water control infrastructure necessary for state and federal agency staff to actively manage water levels. Funding in this request also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations.Most enhancement work occured in the Prairie Region by design, as that is where waterfowl are in most need of habitat improvements.  Structures are used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produces abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates. These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally use by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands. Importantly, DU also restored smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement. The Minnesota DNR holds public meetings to share information on the current condition and management plan for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.PlanningEvery statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota’s shallow lakes and associated wetlands for optimal wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is the most specific, calling for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 restored wetlands to Minnesota’s landscape. DU’s Living Lakes Initiative supports this plan through a goal of improving 300 Minnesota shallow lakes in 10 years. Shallow lakes and wetlands are identified as critical habitat for several “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” listed in Minnesota’s “Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild & Rare: An Action Plan for Minnesota Wildlife”, including lesser scaup, northern pintail, and trumpeter swan.Importantly, Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly address Minnesota’s Statewide Conservation & Preservation Plan Habitat Recommendations #4 and #5 on pages 78 and 80, respectively, which calls for the restoration and protection of shallow lakes (page 78) and the restoration of land, wetlands, and watersheds (page 80). This program addresses the LSOHC priorities of wetland and shallow lake restoration and enhancement in the Prairie and Forest-Prairie Transition sections. Finally, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan’s Prairie Pothole Joint Venture prioritizes the restoration and management of wetlands and shallow lakes through goals and objectives for improved brood-rearing and migration habitat for ducks. Many of the shallow lakes and wetlands prioritized for enhancement by DU are located within wetland habitat complexes identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s Strategic Habitat Conservation model and are high priority basins for both Service and Minnesota DNR field managers. DU shallow lake and wetland enhancement work is performed in close coordination and collaboration with either the Minnesota DNR or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and these agencies assume all future management and operation responsibilities for water control structures designed and installed by DU.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Murray, Otter Tail, Sibley, Stearns, Wadena, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/living-shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-initiative-phase-2,,,,

FMR restored 8 acres of prairie and enhanced 30 acres prairie, 47 acres of wetland and 237 acres of forest on three sites in Dakota County and one in Washington County, as follows:• Gores Pool Wildlife Management Area (Freitag Tract) -- Gores Pool WMA is a 6,449-ac complex of floodplain forest, marshland and backwater along the Mississippi River and Vermillion River Bottoms in Dakota County. Most of the area is designated as outstanding biodiversity significance and constitutes one of the largest expanses of floodplain native plant communities in southeast Minnesota. It is also one of the top four sites in the state for rare forest birds. The 300 acre Freitag Tract was purchased in 2008 by the DNR in partnership with Dakota County and the City of Hastings. With this Phase 3 grant, FMR continued its activities at the WMA in partnership with the DNR, enhancing 47 acres of wet meadow, 125 acres of forest, and 5 acres of prairie. Methods included cutting and treating invasive woody and herbaceous species, prescribed burning, installing cottonwood livestakes, and planting native shrubs.• Hastings Sand Coulee Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) - This SNA is identified as significant by the Dakota County Farmland and Natural Area Program and the County Biological Survey. In addition to containing an intermittent stream that flows to the Vermillion River, this site contains rare dry prairie and associated oak woodland. Fourteen rare species have been documented at this SNA. FMR’s work with Phase 3 restored 8 acres of prairie, enhanced 23 acres of prairie by removing woody species and conducting prescribed burns and enhanced 51 acres of oak woodland by controlling exotic invasive species and conducting prescribed burns.• Hastings Scientific and Natural Area -- This 69-acre SNA, designated in the 1970s, is situated along the Mississippi – Vermillion River floodplain and blufflands in Hastings, Dakota County. It contains wetland, maple-basswood forest and floodplain forest. FMR developed a Natural Resource Management Plan for this SNA in 2011 in partnership with the DNR. With Phase 3 funds, FMR conducted exotic invasive woody plant control on 35 acres of forest by cutting and stump-treating. These activities improved the habitat for the both rare species and all the plant and animal members of these forest communities.• Camel’s Hump / Gateway North Open Space Area -- This 34-acre site sits on a high ancient river terrace of sandstone and limestone within Cottage Grove (Washington County). The natural communities located on this site include oak forest, bedrock bluff prairie and lowland hardwood forest. Through this Phase 3 grant, FMR prepared a Natural Resource Management Plan, then conduct woody plant removal and a prescribed burn on approximately 2-acres of prairie and exotic plant control on approximately 26 acres of forest by cutting and treating woody plants and prescribed burns.

Work included: removal of invasive common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, black locust and Siberian elm; woody encroachment removal from the native prairie; and reed canary grass control in the wet prairie area. The enhancement at Katherine Abbott is continuing with Trust Fund support and City support. This site now hosts remnant prairie, oak savanna, enhanced forest habitat, and enhanced wetland habitats. Acreage and habitat goals were met; with City funds, summer and fall 2017 burns are being developed for the oak woodland communities to control buckthorn and promote the remnant understory. • Fish Creek Open Space: 75 acres of dry-mesic prairie oak savannah were enhanced. Work included woody invasive removal, tree planting, and prairie seeding. Oak savanna was restored using an oak grove design, and the timing of seeding was selected carefully to encourage forb establishment for better pollinator habitat and floristic diversity, as well as a robust prairie grass component. The establishment has included mowing to promote prairie perennials over weedy annuals and biennials, and spot treatment (pulling, spraying) of more problematic non-native invasive species. Restorations involved Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (a partnership with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa, providing hands-on natural resource experience to underserved youth), students and faculty, volunteer citizens, contractors, and Greening staff. Fish Creek now hosts prairie habitat, oak savanna habitat, and enhanced forest habitat. This location in the Mississippi flyway is proving to continue to leverage volunteer services for enhancement and maintenance, and is also a pollinator citizen science project location with Trust Fund support. Acreage goals were met and maintenance program is robust and underway.• Springbrook Nature Center: 82 acres enhanced (66 acres proposed), 70 acres of forest and 12 acres of prairie, through woody invasive removal and treatment and several rounds of prescribed burns.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. Annual income statements and balance sheets for income and expenses from land acquired with this appropriation must be submitted to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council no later than 180 days following the close of The Nature Conservancy's fiscal year.",,"This phase resulted in a total of 1,425 acres of wetlands and prairies protected in fee, 22,298 acres of wetlands and prairies enhanced, and 110 acres of wetlands and prairies restored.",,851300,"The Nature Conservancy, private land donation",4607900,96700,,10.1,"The Nature Conservancy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The goals for this project were to: protect 1,200 acres native prairie/wetland/savanna; restore 250 acres prairie/wetland; enhance 6,000 acres grassland/savanna with fire, invasive species removal, and grazing; and continue a new prairie conservation model. This phase resulted in a total of 1,425 acres protected, 22,298 acres enhanced, and 110 acres restored. When combined with phases 1 and 2 of the Prairie Recovery Program we have cumulatively protected 4,070 acres, enhanced 58,134 acres and restored 314 acres using OHF funds. We will continue to implement subsequent phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived.“Phase 3” built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1 and 2 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments.1,425 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole complex, and savanna was permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. Lands will be held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to the grant with the MN DNR. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), once again primarily through interactions through Local Technical Teams.A separate and discrete internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs.  Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, native seed harvest, and/or cropping) are held in this account and used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs.110 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses.22,298 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (61 projects totalling 15,016 acres), removal of woody vegetation (60 projects for 1,678 acres), and control of exotic species (83 projects - 5,514 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC.On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas. Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for CCM and local businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities.To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xmlTemporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced.2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC priority areas. Each of the 4 project locations directly correlate to core areas identified in the 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include:a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request.b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands.c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits.3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This proposal accelerated an initiative begun in 2010.4. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination. Points of opposition that have risen to date include: perceived loss of tax revenues, philosophical opposition to public land ownership, and lack of understanding of processes (i.e. prescribed fire) necessary for long-term prairie system health. To address these concerns we have been actively engaged with county boards and other local units of government, local agricultural producers and groups, and local communities. We anticipate continuing to build these relationships in each of the four project areas.PlanningThis project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below.1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET)2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas.3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include:a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur.b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs.c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing.d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCNe. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat.f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN.g. Increase native plant species components.h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites.This project proposes to address all but item “f” above.4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal.5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025.6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits.This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes.

The Collaborative has also planted over two million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar.",,"Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species. In some places, this happens naturally. The area burned by the 2011 Pagami Creek fire is an example of this and is providing some excellent moose browse according to biologists. Most logging on uplands results in some regeneration of moose browse. However, there are tens of thousands of acres in moose range that will not see a natural browse regenerating event like fire or do not have enough volume of merchantable wood to make an economical timber sale. In these areas, the Collaborative used bulldozers, brush saw crews, and prescribed fires to shear, cut, and burn the old decadent brush and stimulate re-growth that is more palatable, nutritious, and easy to reach for moose.Cover for hiding from predators and protection from the elements is another part of the habitat equation. Research has shown that moose prefer forests with mixed conifer and deciduous trees. The pre-settlement forest in Northeast Minnesota was 70% conifers and 30% deciduous trees. Today that ratio is completely reversed with 70% deciduous and only 30% conifers. Improving cover habitat for moose means restoring conifers on the landscape. The Collaborative has planted over two million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar. The pine and cedar must be protected from browsing by deer and hare using budcaps or tree shelters. By the third year after planting, the seedlings need to be released from competition from surrounding trees and brush. This “release” is completed with brush saws which both helps the trees get established and produces another flush of future moose browse.A look at plat books for counties in Northeast Minnesota emphasizes the need for inter-agency partnerships to produce habitat results at a meaningful scale. The ownership pattern looks like a patchwork quilt of County, Federal, and State lands (private as well, but funds for this project are limited to public lands). There was not an acre that was worked on without some level of collaboration and cooperation between partner staff. The first cut at site selection was made by looking at forest inventory data and local knowledge of potential project areas. With time and experience, Collaborative partners have refined the search for good moose habitat projects and added and dropped stands as field visits were conducted. Proposals for specific work plans at each site were shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose. Partners decided who would manage the bidding and contracting, order necessary supplies, supervise the work, complete the documentation needed for invoicing, track the specifics of what was done at each site, and summarize accomplishments for grant reporting and other communication about the project as a whole. As the grant recipient, MDHA is ultimately responsible for the finances and reporting to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council. But, the work it takes to produce results involves many of the partnering agencies.The variety of combinations of roles and responsibilities between staff from MDHA, the Superior National Forest, Lake County Forestry, DNR, The Nature Conservancy, and the 1854 Treaty Authority that played out in completing the work was impressive. For example, Lake County Forestry may identify a potential project on lands they manage, a Forest Service biologist may review and approve it as a good moose project, the 1854 Treaty Authority might collect pre-treatment data that is being used to track effectiveness, The Nature Conservancy may order the trees and line up the planting crew, Lake County supervises the work, The Nature Conservancy again handles the documentation and site-specific data and finally MDHA pays the contractor’s invoice and then requests reimbursement in the form of State managed grant funds.Early sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M’s Natural Resources Research Institute, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jenny,Foley,"Minnesota Deer Hunters Association","460 Peterson Road","Grand Rapids",MN,55744,218-327-1103,kimn@mndeerhunters.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Cook, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-moose-habitat-collaborative,,,,

19858,"One-Time Operating Support Grant",2013,5902,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","By having the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota’s artistic director, Garrett Lathe, meet with business and civic organizations in the Central Minnesota community, the increase in visibility for our organization will gain more audience recognition and hopefully, sponsorships. We anticipate that this communication between the arts and businesses will create a better development of donor relations and the personal interaction will help to have a better connection as well as a greater understanding of what the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization is and what our mission and goals are for the youth of this community. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We anticipate that attendance at this festival (both singers, conductors, and audience members) will show that there is an interest and a desire to be a part of something unique to the Central Minnesota area. The benefits of this Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota-sponsored festival are that these girls learn to appreciate music and foster a lifelong involvement both in music and the choral arts, since many of these young singers do not have these types of choral experiences outside of their own school music programs. They also develop lifelong friendships with other young women, while at the same time sharing a common bond: singing.As the community becomes more aware of our organization and goals for giving the youth of Central Minnesota an additional choral experience outside of their high schools, we are able to measure the number of sponsorships from local businesses who see the mission and goals of the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota as an organization that they would like to develop a relationship with. We will be able to evaluate the success of this task by the number of sponsorships received over the course of the year and also by the percentage of cost covered for events as our concert season unfolds. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants.","Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival met a need in the community as there were no all-day festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. In attendance were 85 middle school and high school women plus their conductors. For a first-year festival, these numbers showed that there was an interest and a desire to be a part of something unique to the Central Minnesota area. Audience size for the end-of-day concert was higher than anticipated; we did not sell tickets, but counted the number of programs remaining. The festival gave girls the opportunity to sing for and work with high-caliber clinicians and learn new skills from them. We were also able to effectively integrate students from grades 6-12 and foster a sense of inclusion for all singers regardless of vocal ability. The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization successfully offered an opportunity for young women in Central Minnesota to collaborate together and produce a high-quality concert for family and friends. The benefit to this project was that the participants learned to appreciate choral music and take back new skills to their school music programs. A survey was conducted post-festival of the choir directors, who gave positive comments about how the festival was organized, saying that the clinicians were the perfect fit for this type of event and that they would like to participate again in the future. We surveyed the clinicians who enjoyed getting to know each choir on stage, guide them musically through songs, and conduct the massed choir for the finale. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota’s Artistic Director, Garrett Lathe, thoroughly researched the best practices for development for community choruses. The outcome was a solid Development Plan for the 2013-15 concert seasons which we will evaluate more as the year unfolds. He also met with businesses to increase the visibility of our organization in the community and gain more recognition and sponsorships.

Artist contact hours include time Minnesota artists spend teaching workshops in American Swedish Institute's studio arts program, engaging with the public through lectures, presentations, and demonstrations at festivals and special events. Admission reports show how many visitors are engaging with Minnesota artists through exhibitions and guided tours. American Swedish Institute also captures visitor demographics, composition and visiting patterns by conducting monthly visitor intercept exit surveys. Results show an increase in overall participation of new and first time visitors to American Swedish Institute (70% non-member base in fiscal year 2013 compared to 30% non-member base in fiscal year 2014), engaging its mission through arts related activities, including exhibitions of contemporary Minnesota artists. Expressed interest in seeing American Swedish Institute use the arts to engage its target audiences is not only collected in these exit interviews, it is supported by qualitative research conducted through select focus groups in fiscal year 2013. 2: Increase arts programming and the number of Minnesota artists involved by utilizing the new gallery and the new crafts studio and workshop in the Nelson Cultural Center. The National Association of Neighborhoods hosted their annual meeting in Minneapolis and American Swedish Institute was identified as a case study for how a cultural and arts organization is co-creating programs to meet needs in the community, acknowledged in a keynote address by our local councilman. Other key neighborhood organizations, such as Children's Hospital (medical industry), Lutheran Social Services (social service industry), and Ebenezer (housing services for seniors) have identified arts programming at American Swedish Institute as an asset to partner with to achieve their goals and missions.","In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute worked with 21% greater overall number of artists from fiscal year 2012. For that same time period, American Swedish Institute experienced a 203% increase in the number of artist contact hours with the public. 80,472 visitors engaged with artwork created by Minnesota artists, an increase of 181% over fiscal year 2012. For each of the major exhibitions hosted in fiscal year 2013, Minnesota artists have been the avenue for American Swedish Institute to grow new audience and connect regional interest in its international exhibitions. By strategically incorporating practicing Minnesota artists, American Swedish Institute is being viewed within its community and across the state as an important arts incubator and facilitator. Fiscal year 2013 saw a major transformation from a member-based heritage organization to a vibrant contemporary arts and cultural organization using a broader portfolio of delivery mechanisms (residencies, musical performances, theatre, and participatory exhibition experiences) to engage its diverse audiences. 2: American Swedish Institute has built a reputation as a cultural and arts anchor for the Phillips West Neighborhood of Minneapolis and continues to build more sustained and new relationships with key organizations in its community. In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute used the visual and literary arts to expand programming at three neighborhood schools, growing its participation by more than 50% over fiscal year 2012 with added classrooms and afterschool programming. American Swedish Institute partnered with a media arts unit at a local high school to grow Story Swap, a cross-cultural educational project for new immigrants. American Swedish Institute is building on a survey of neighborhood cultural and educational organizations conducted in fiscal year 2012, providing an opportunity to clarify needs from these organizations in order to act on those needs in the future.",,2490470,Other,2533890,8300,"Christine Albertsson, Rev Rodney Anderson, Carline Bengtsson, Helen Bergren, Martin Bertilsson, Terri Carlson, Ellen Ann-Kristin de Verdier, Dean Erickson, Jamal Hashi, Tony Hofstede, Joe Hognander, Beth Lundquist Jones, Alexander Kallebo, Truett Lawson, Ingrid Mattsson, Randy Monson, Thomas Franklin Nelson, Lena Norrman, Gerald Sjogren, Roland B T Thorstensson, Veronika Torarp",,"American Swedish Institute","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Christy,Stolpestad,"American Swedish Institute","2600 Park Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55407,"(612) 870-3354 ",christys@asimn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Washington, Isanti, Anoka, Chisago, Scott, Rice, Dakota, Goodhue, Wabasha, Steele, Ramsey, Sherburne, Wright, McLeod, Cook, Itasca, Carlton, Pine, St. Louis, Olmsted, Mower, Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Clay, Otter Tail, Kittson, Polk, Cass, Wilkin",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-146,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Observation, surveys, online data collection, person-to-person interviews and informal feedback from affiliated groups are used in our regular practices. The data collected has practical application in program improvement and replication, future fundraising, and in building a reputation for quality programming. American Composers Forum staff, recognized for their expertise in the field and program knowledge, often act as a resource to members and partnering organizations in consulting about program design and evaluation. American Composers Forum has accumulated expertise in running artist residencies, and frequently coaches new groups through the process of commissioning and residency-based work. In addition, each American Composers Forum award grantee submits a final report on their fellowship, residency and/or project. 2: Continue training composers through Teaching Artist Training program; place teaching artists in Minnesota schools during 2012/2013 academic year; commission and distribute one new BandQuest and ChoralQuest piece designed for middle school students; and develop new curriculum to support BandQuest and ChoralQuest pieces for connection to non-arts study areas. The goal of these programs is to bring fresh music into schools and also provide accessibility for students to participate in the arts, reaching middle school students of all ethnicities and abilities. Partners such as those with Perpich Center for the Arts and Minnesota schools help promote our offerings to schools in Minnesota.

Evaluation feedback is collected from residency music directors and students, as well as oversight of the process by staff. American Composers Forum shares this information in a variety of ways. First and foremost, staff use the results to monitor and improve program design. Secondly, outcomes are shared with the Program and Education committees of the board and the full board where appropriate. Narratives are also shared via media in the form of press releases, quarterly e-newsletters, and an annual report.","Foster artistic development and community engagement for composers: American Composers Forum is a career resource for composers and creates connections with local communities.

During in-depth school residencies and experiences such as summer camps, a majority of students demonstrate increased knowledge of the arts and environment. We worked with 20 schools to implement residencies that focused on river ecology with topics ranging from water cycle to animal habitat, to the Mississippi River as a major flyway for birds and insects, to the sigificance of the river to the Dakota people. We used three methods of evaluation to garner impact on student learning: 1) the descriptive and reflective protocol process for planning and evaluation with teachers/student responses documented in writing, 2) teacher and artist informal observations during the instructional sessions, and 3) a written survey filled out by students and teachers to determine the depth of learning about both environmental and art concepts at the conclusion of the residency. Our summer camps involve about 500 youth ages 4 years to 16 years and are multidisiciplinary to include a blend of art-music, dance, drama, and visual arts, environmental knowledge, and culture. Students and parents fill out a survey at the conclusion of the camp. 2: More than 9,500 people, including young people, adults, artists, and arts organizations, participate in making art from recycled products.

Our ScrapMobile Community Workshops blend reuse and artmaking together within a community context. Known as Artful Reuse workshops, these workshops are very popular with libraries, community centers, daycares, pre-schools, and public housing sites. We worked in five public housing sites, at ten community centers in Minneapolis and St Paul, and in all public library systems. We sent an evaluation form to be filled out by the site coordinator. The evaluation form asked for demographic information about participants, as well as level content. Twenty-five youth ages 4-16 years attended our summer camps on scholarship. We track this through our registration database recording those who receive scholarships. Finally, our own EcoArts Fest, a free event for families, attracts many culturally diverse youth and adults. We gathered demographic data about our festival through counting the number of people who entered the event at our information table, approximately 3,000 individuals.","Provide residencies in at least twenty schools.

James Sewell Ballet measures programs with use of the following tools: 1) audience attendance; 2) the number of students and community members who participate in lecture-demonstrations and/or community outreach workshops; 3) surveys tracking audience demographics and responses; and 4) audience feedback during James Sewell's audience address. Audience demographics are tracked for both our benefit and presenting partners, so we can each evaluate our success in how we are reaching audiences. When our partner presenters identify a school engagement, we work with the teachers to distribute surveys that seek both their feedback and that of their students. This feedback is shared with the teaching artists of James Sewell Ballet to help improve future student programming. In the past we have found this survey data to be very useful when updating our student programming. Though it can be challenging to objectively measure the artistic quality and public perception of choreographic work, James Sewell and the James Sewell Ballet dancers routinely evaluate their work in relation to the company's high artistic standards. 2: Enhance our impact through collaborations with key artistic partners. Our partners will continue to be from a variety of artistic disciplines (music and theater, for example), and we will support other choreographers and performers through commissioning and performance. Perhaps the most visible evaluation of a collaborative work like Lover were the critical reviews published during our performances; and the most meaningful were responses from within the concert experience itself such as the laughter, applause, and gasps of approval when audiences appreciated the unique ability of artists to convey a story through music and dance. In more clinical fashion, James Sewell Ballet also solicits responses about the experience and quality of our work from audiences through post-performance discussions, surveyed responses, and by the numbers of audience members in the theater. Internally, there is always artistic self-evaluation on the product we have presented (from start to finish) and the merit of the artistic partners we have chosen in our collaborations.","As the lead practitioner in the Twin Cities and state of Minnesota for contemporary ballet, James Sewell Ballet reached out to prospective audiences and invited them into our home venues within The Cowles Center; and James Sewell Ballet supported and created opportunities for other Minnesota artists, engaging with their audiences too. We also did work in the community and throughout the state, via public performances and a variety of educational programs that informed, mentored, and encouraged participation from children, teenagers, student dancers, adults, seniors, and even those living in facilities, from detention centers to assisted living facilities. In all cases, people gained an insight into dance beyond the presentation and beauty of the art form itself. 2: In 2013, James Sewell Ballet re-launched a piece, Lover, originally choreographed in 2002. In its debut year, all of the vignettes were performed to recorded music. For 2012-13, James Sewell Ballet continued its practice of working with a variety of incredible collaborative partners to elevate the concert experience. Lover was brought to Twin Cities audiences on the Goodale stage at the Cowles Center, featuring some of the finest vocal-theater-musician talent in our state for the entire run.

Keep our 2010-11 repertory, except Claudia and Huggertree; bring in two plays from past repertoire; provide a new conservation play, a new library play, and two Booster Bits on a new topic. Provide one major new project like OPS or Anoka-Hennepin. Increase professional development workshops, from five to eight. Bring together four to six theatre professionals who, as a CLIMB Core of Theatre Practitioners, will observe and critique our actors, scripts, and production elements as they are performed on site. Actors will observe assessment and evaluators’ work, and vice versa, at least one time. We know we provided programs that met constituent needs. First, our repertory was created with input from topical experts and educators. Second, we know the topics were of value to our constituents because we sold 283 plays and 220 days of classes in Minnesota. Third, this year we created new teacher and student evaluations. 3,316 teachers rated the overall value of our programs as a 3.8 out of 4. And 99% of teachers said they would like CLIMB to return to their school. 7,785 students evaluated our plays and classes. 91% of students surveyed said they learned something that will help them. The feedback we received from the CLIMB Core of Theatre Practioners and the additional trainings helped actors score well in both teacher and student evaluations. 95% of elementary students said the acting was great. The actors' portrayal of their characters was rated as a 3.9 out of 4 by teachers and a 3.5 out of 4 by secondary students. 2: Expand our commitment to public service and public benefit.

With possible increased revenue, we will create funds of 10% of those amounts to help greater Minnesota cover travel/program fees, and to provide cost reductions to underserved audiences. We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit.

However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

COMPAS will partner with at least five different types of community organizations. In all COMPAS arts residencies, participants will create at least one piece of original art. At least 80% of COMPAS performances and workshops will engage participants interactively, present a cultural perspective, and deepen their understanding of an art form. COMPAS uses a variety of evaluation practices. COMPAS staff, customers, and teaching artists all participate in measuring the results of our arts programs. Evaluations are filled out by one or more teachers or administrators at a site and by artists; COMPAS staff makes site visits; and follow-up meetings among site staff, artists, and COMPAS staff are used to discuss items not covered in the standard evaluation. Evaluations track items such as how well: 1) the art form was taught; 2) the teaching artist engaged the participants; 3) customer-specific goals were met; 4) the artist communicated with the teacher/administrator, prepared them for upcoming activities, and passed on skills they can use after the program ended. Each long-term arts program includes a final presentation or performance that lets participants demonstrate their newly developed skills in a meaningful way and allows invited community members to see the results for themselves. 2: People of many ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in COMPAS programs. COMPAS will engage as many (or more) individuals and organizations in the arts as were served in fiscal year 2012. At least one-third of COMPAS' roster artists will be people of color. COMPAS programs will reach individuals and organizations in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. COMPAS tracks the number of participants and sites served through its programs. Since COMPAS is a state-wide organization, it is our goal to work in all eight congressional districts. This is achieved through building on our partnerships and developing new ones with schools and other community organizations. This year COMPAS looked for artists with cultural connections to immigrant populations and new art forms. Artists added included Kim Sueoka/Lau Hawaiian Collective (Hawaiian music); Victor Yepez (Ecuadorian muralist), John Akre (animation), Gita Ghei (East Indian, copper sculpture), and Sarah Nassif (screen printing). We also added artists of African American heritage and artists doing art forms already represented, such as fiction writing and photography.","COMPAS partnered with 93 different school sites, ranging from Tri-County Schools in Kittson County to the State Academy for the Blind in Faribault; libraries (Dakota County Library system); older adult centers and residential facilities (Lyngblomsten and Ebenezer); hospitals (Children's Hospitals of Minnesota in St Paul and Minneapolis); and recreation centers and social service agencies (Boys and Girls Clubs: East Side and West Side, Mount Airy). All the work we do - whether it be residencies, performances, or workshops - is focused on extracting originality and fine arts work. We offer every site the opportunity for a community event, and our artists use this venue to share the emerging work of students. We continue to emphasize interaction in all phases of our work. Providing the cultural context to understand a piece of art, and the historical niche in which it fits, is vital. 2: COMPAS worked with people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities during fiscal year 2013. Largely due to funding challenges faced by schools, we moved from serving 48,000+ students at 151 sites, to 32,000+ students at 130 sites. By contrast, our Arts In Health Care program increased by over 20% (from 2,994 participants to 3,834). Our roster is 42% artists of color.

We talked about having the right mix of shows and what that looked like for this year and future years. We reviewed audience reactions and purposely asked community members their opinions of our programming through formal interviews, casual interactions, and surveys. The summary of what we learned was that in general people love our programming. They appreciate the variety, affordability, and professionalism of the acts. We received some requests for more comedy, more familiar acts, and bigger name music stars. People valued that we brought the arts to our region and want even more than we're already programming. We take all this information and weigh it against our mission, values, and financial constraints to help create future programming. Continue to ensure that our audiences at all theatre sponsored activities (public performances, workshops, school/business/nonprofit outreach, artist interactions, etc.) experience the best we can offer.

Because we are in essence the only gig in town, we want to be sure to not just present one genre but to offer a broad mix of performances (dance, music of all genres, comedy, theater, etc.) that will hopefully appeal to most, if not all, demographics of residents in our region. In 2012-13, we certainly achieved this as we hosted such groups as Mason Jennings, Church Basement Ladies, James Sewell Ballet, Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience, Cudamani (from Bali), Patrick Dewane's The Accidental Hero, classical music groups from the Fargo Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater, Theatreworks USA's Junie B.

This supports the Arts Board goal that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Staff and Board assessed performance income as a measure of participation. Nutcracker and Firebird exceeded income projections; Dracula did not meet projections in its second consecutive year, and will be offered every few years in the future. Dances and Desserts sold out each performance. School teachers, Principal Teacher, and the Artistic Director evaluated ballet students for advancement into upper levels. Staff and teachers used feedback to meet needs of teen and adult students. Staff and Outreach Coordinator reviewed teacher surveys, finding enthusiastic reaction and learning ways teachers used outreach guide for preparation and links to other subjects. For community service, Ballet staff evaluated Community Enrichment ticket program to make sure service organization clients' needs were met. For access, Ballet staff assessed Ballet's compliance with ADA guidelines and that of all Ballet event venues. Staff and Creative Dance teacher talked with parents to assess meeting needs of students with developmental challenges. 2: Through careful financial management, the Ballet will have the resources to offer the public a growing repertoire of works, to meet the needs of its professional artists, to enhance the training of its pre-professional ballet students as well as of community members, to develop innovative outreach programs, and to collaborate with other arts groups. This supports the Arts Board goal that the arts thrive in Minnesota. Board Finance Committee and Board evaluated Ballet's strong fiscal position at end of 2012-13. Performance evaluation came from audience, Board members, and reviewers; comments on Facebook and Ticketmaster. In classes, rehearsals, and performances, Artistic Director evaluated dancers as exceeding his expectations: they mastered many dance styles, showed great dramatic ability, and helped him choreograph Dance Infernale of Firebird. Artistic Director and teachers evaluated pre-professional students, who made great progress learning classical technique in their levels. Of elementary teachers evaluating Firebird outreach performances, 100% rated program as excellent or good; most reported using teachers guide to help prepare their classes. For collaboration, staff assessed warm audience response, review, and reaction.","Dracula, Nutcracker, and Firebird performances gave appealing family entertainment. Intimate studio performance of Dances and Desserts and presentation of choreography made possible by New York Choreographic Institute provided choreography that was challenging to both dancers and veteran audiences. The school provided financial aid to all qualifying students, academy-standards training to pre-professional students, and dance and fitness classes to community teens and adults. The outreach program provided dance experiences to Silver Bay and Duluth elementary students. The community service program provided complimentary Nutcracker tickets to 21 service agencies and teamed with Blood Bank to promote Dracula and blood donation. Creative Dance program in its 23rd year provided adaptive dance instruction to children with handicaps. Dance Day at the Depot accommodated children in strollers and people with ambulatory challenges who all could sit close to the free, intimate dance presentation. 2: Ballet's careful fiscal management, despite flood damage to 90% of its sets last summer, resulted in a strong fiscal position at end of 2012-13. Two pieces were added to the repertory: a contemporary ballet ""Two Andantes"" by guest choreographer Penelope Freeh, and Robert Gardner's magical Firebird. Dances and Desserts allowed Minnesota Ballet artists to choreograph; Nikolaus Wourms' new work, made possible by New York Choreographic Institute grant may be publically performed in 18 months. Company dancers benefited from working in various dance styles and drama technique in 2012-13. Nutcracker allowed 80 students to perform in a professional production.

To do this, we will keep the costs of lessons affordable, provide a financial aid program, maintain a high quality staff, and create arts programs that address the needs of central Minnesota. Our evaluation plan consisted of the board evaluating each objective we set. The board looked to students, parents, and staff for written and verbal evaluations. We study the statistics on our student population. We feel that all of the above objectives were met to the best of our abilities. The cost of lessons remains low. No family was turned away from lessons because of financial need. Our staff has high ratings from parents and students. We have addressed various needs in the community by creating programs for all including our URock Camp; our three chorale groups which reach many senior citizens; and our orchestras which are truly multigenerational. Approximately 500 people a week come to the Music Center for lessons or to participate in ensembles. Because we are a smaller school in a rural area, evaluation takes place year round because the community and parents feel they are active participants in our school and are free to express ideas, complaints, and solutions. 2: Saint Francis Music Center will bring music into the lives of central Minnesotans and help all to see the importance of the arts in our lives.

We use statistics on our concerts to evaluate part of this goal. We present six major concerts; twelve recitals; a dance recital; and a gymnastics recital each year. The total audience we reach numbers 10,000 plus. All concerts are free, thus economically accessible to anyone. We encourage group homes and senior homes to bring residents and make the experience as comfortable as possible for them. This year we offered free dance lessons to all Head Start families. Again, we brought in twenty families that would not normally take lessons here. As a result, some of these families signed up for other lessons. We also offer a Music and Motion class to area day care facilities. Many families have started lessons here because of that early exposure.

The theater's season will be complemented by the Live at the Guthrie concert series, the NT Live filmed presentations of National Theatre productions, the WorldStage Series featuring international companies, presentations of five Minnesota companies, and public showcases of the work of University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts and Guthrie Experience (Master of Fine Arts) students. The Guthrie tracks all ticketed programming through Tessitura Software, a fully-integrated database for ticketing, fundraising, marketing, reporting, customer relationship management, web transactions, custom capabilities and more. Quantitative results are measured through attendance figures, box office revenue, contributed income, broad press coverage, and the usage of ancillary programs and materials (e.g. enhanced student matinees and study guides). Qualitative results are measured through critical reviews and audience feedback, both through our marketing and development call rooms and through formal online surveys. In spring 2013, the Guthrie was selected to participate in a national study, run by Theatre Bay Area and sponsored by Doris Duke Foundation, of thirty companies nationwide surveying patrons about the intrinsic impact of live theater. 2: The Guthrie will remain open to the public every day, 362 days a year, offering diverse ticketed programming as well as free opportunities to use and explore the building. Community dialogues at the Guthrie and around the community will serve more than 14,000 people. Patrons are asked to respond to each production's ancillary programming as a part of ongoing audience surveys. For example, the Guthrie hosted a public dialogue with former NAACP Chair Julian Bond as a complement to our production of Appomattox (which examined issues of race in America from 1865 to 1965). One audience member commented, I am an older participant in the Feminist and Civil Rights Movement. It was fabulous to see Julian Bond again and hear his stories and his take on events both then and now. Also this year, internationally acclaimed theater artist Mark Rylance visited the Perpich Center for Arts Education before and after the students there saw him perform in Nice Fish at the Guthrie. Their teacher wrote: It was an inspiring and thrilling event. They learned a tremendous amount and the effects of his visits will continue to affect the understanding and abilities of our students for years to come.","The Guthrie is on track to produce and co-produce twelve productions on its three stages between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013. In addition, the Live at the Guthrie concert series has hosted ten local and national acts in the past year; the WorldStage Series featured the acclaimed Propeller (United Kingdom) to present two thrilling Shakespeare productions in repertory; four Minnesota companies produced their work in the Dowling Studio; and the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts Class of '13 performed two plays commissioned especially for them. Through a partnership with the Film Society of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, NT Live has moved across the river to the Film Society's Saint Anthony Main Theatre. Although we are now financially separate from that series, we continue to help them promote it to our audiences. Also, in response to a projected deficit this year, the theater cut the 2013 Guthrie Experience for Actors in Training. 2: The Guthrie Theater has been open to the public 360 of the last 365 days. On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the Guthrie celebrated its 50th year with a Free Community Celebration Day.

The 2013 season is set to break a record for highest-attended shows in the Festival's history. The organization will not reach the goal of 15,000 in total adult attendance, almost entirely due to the the organization's decision to move from three professional company productions in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons, to two professional company productions in 2013.

Outcomes include an increase in students in the East Metro having access to an orchestral education, Philharmonia East enrollment growth, reintroduction of the revamped Rising Harmonies program, and reaching more underserved audiences through the community concert series. Through survey responses and information collected throughout the year, we analyze data which helps us assess enrollment and retention trends, student demographics, demand for scholarships, and audience attendance. This data is all important in measuring our effectiveness at increasing access for students and audiences alike. 2: Develop well-rounded students. Outcomes include students learning valuable skills, such as discipline, respect, and accountability through rehearsals; and excellence and community awareness through performances. Students will learn and grow through new student leadership roles and alumni-student mentorship opportunities. Qualitative data about student development comes in the form of feedback from discussions at parent meetings, student focus groups, and conversations with music educators, as well as frequent surveys. Information gleaned in those settings helps us identify what skills students learn in Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies, and their level of satisfaction on things which we can compare and track from year to year. Year-end surveys ask students about their satisfaction with Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies' programs as well as their perceived development as musicians and individuals. Students ranked their personal progress related to music and other skills in the following areas: technical skills, ensemble/listening skills, sight-reading skills, musical phrasing/expression, how to watch a conductor, how to practice, music history, music theory, discipline, teamwork, responsibility, time management, respect, and leadership. On average, 77% of responding 2012-13 students said they were satisfied to highly-satisfied with their growth in these areas.","Student enrollment grew by 10.5% overall during our 2012-13 season and participation in our East Metro programs grew by 26%. We attribute program growth to focused efforts to make our programs accessible and provide the highest caliber artistic experience. We've actively increased outreach for need-based scholarships, and we've heightened the artistic quality of our programs through top-quality conductors and new educational and performance opportunities. After careful consideration, we decided to focus our resources on our core programming last season and did not reintroduce our Rising Harmonies program. We are currently updating our strategic plan and based on stakeholder input, we will reevaluate the feasibility of a similar program. We had record concert attendance during our 2012-13 season, with total audiences of 10,000. We introduced a new free family concert at the Ordway Center for Music in April 2013 which was filled to capacity and engaged children in music education. 2: New last season, each orchestra had a special project which deepened students' community connections and educational experience while providing unique opportunities for audiences. Projects included a community service project with Second Harvest Heartland as well as collaborations with notable musicians including Indie Music Award winner Brian Wicklund and Minnesota Orchestra violinist Michael Sutton. Also new, 13 graduate students from the University of Minnesota's School of Music served as mentors for Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies' high school Symphony students.

Specific initiatives include bringing open captioning capabilities to more theatres, providing Access tickets, offering Kid's Nights and other age specific promotions, and offering programming by diverse artists. The Trust regularly reviews the organizations that receive tickets distributed through Access 10 to ensure that we are reaching a diverse audience and we also meet with each organization to solicit feedback on their experience and determine future opportunities. One participant, Asian Media Access, asked if we could provide experiences for their teens to learn more about careers in the arts administration field. We hosted an end of the year meeting with our Critical Review students and learned from them how we can improve the program, such as including a wider variety of artistic performances for them to review and have designed our program to incorporate these suggestions. We also received positive feedback from attendees of Broadway Confidential, our free series of behind-the-scenes talks by theatre experts. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are, the Trust will work with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works in the New Century Theatre. Minnesota artists will be showcased, and the Trust will assist with marketing and production. We received positive feedback on our first year as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue, with their executive director Jeff Larson commenting, Thanks again for both hosting and sponsoring the Fringe. It was a great year for the festival and the New Century was an especially successful venue. There were multiple sellouts of a space that's on the big side for us and a lot of publicity from Mayor Rybak coming to the show about him twice. The room couldn't have worked better for us. After evaluating our inaugural seasons with both Theater Latte Da and Minneapolis Musical Theatre, we launched the second season for both. Broadway Re-Imagined with Theater Latte Da returns with Cabaret and will star the acclaimed Sally Wingert and Minneapolis Musical Theatre's second season will feature three shows including the Twin Cities debut of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, nominated for two Tony Awards.","To ensure that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts, the Trust engaged approximately 5,115 people with our education and community engagement initiatives. Through our Access 10 Program, we distributed nearly 2,000 free tickets to human service non-profit organizations coupled with participation in artist workshops and tours. Our Critical Review Program offered 35 high school students from diverse backgrounds around the metro area the opportunity to attend touring Broadway shows, write reviews and attend behind-the-scenes workshops with Twin Cities theatre professionals. War Horse Family Day, in partnership with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, taught fifty children and their families how to build and operate their own horse puppets. We also fielded sixty one ASL interpretation requests for shows including Les Miserables and Wicked and will continue to offer listening devices at all of our productions and open captioning at select performances. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to whom we are, Hennepin Theatre Trust worked with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works at the New Century Theatre. We concluded the first season in our partnership with Minneapolis Musical Theatre with a three week run of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard featuring an all-local cast and crew. Through our outreach, the New Century Theatre was also chosen as a Minnesota Fringe Festival venue for the first time and hosted eleven shows. The Trust underwrote part of the cost and acted as a sponsor for the event.

This fulfills Operating Support Program Outcome people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. Highpoint evaluates our Education and Community Programs via three methods: interviews with students, educators, partner organizations, and artists; written surveys with these same constituents; and, the Highpoint Education Advisory Committee reviews this feedback and uses it to inform future programs. 2: Expand Highpoint's artists' co-op membership, which provides artists access to create and exhibit at Highpoint, through these objectives: broaden the diversity of co-op members (age, gender, race); further underwrite the costs of the print shop cooperative; grow sales of prints by co-op artists; provide more critical feedback to artists; and provide co-op members opportunities through visiting artist lectures and demonstrations. Outcomes include Highpoint’s artist co-op remaining a vital component of the organization that allows Minnesota artists to continue to produce and exhibit work in a professional print shop. More funding for the co-op would reduce fees to allow greater access to a wider constituency of artists. This helps achieve the goal that the arts thrive in Minnesota. Every Highpoint co-op member is given a detailed evaluation to complete annually. Highpoint's Studio Manager compiles the input and presents results to the full co-op and staff at an annual meeting for discussion and future planning.","Highpoint sustained and grew partnerships with Minnesota schools, arts organizations, and community members during fiscal year 2013.

The abilities of the ensembles vary season to season as singers move from one ensemble to the next. The artistic staff selects first semester music based on what they expect the singers to be able to achieve. Second semester repertoire is selected by the conductor with the goal of providing music that will be challenging to the ensemble and provide the means to stretch their abilities as they learn more skills. By choosing carefully from a variety of genres, styles and composers, the artistic staff ensures the singers are challenged and are able to learn through the challenge. This evaluation is ongoing by the artistic director, including a discussion at the end of the season with each conductor, specifically addressing repertoire. All repertoire selections are reviewed by the artistic director to ensure the appropriate level of difficulty and learning opportunities. 2: Honors Choirs will continue to hold the highest standard of excellence while recognizing the importance of the organization’s affordability to singers and their families. The staff and board members regularly reviewed the concert attendance figures as well as the level of enrollment as indicators of the health of the organization and the excellence of the program. Additionally, we conducted a post-season survey to determine the value of the program to our families. Data suggests that families view tuition as on-par with their other activities and a good/excellent value to their singer.","The 2012-13 season featured a variety of repertoire including many musical styles, cultures, and languages. Challenging repertoire included music of composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Brahms, alongside pieces by Rutter, Papoulis, Clausen, and Leavitt. Singers performed in several foreign languages such as Italian, Yoruba, German, and Latin. Singers in all four ensembles had the opportunity to audition for solo parts, and perform outside the traditional concert setting including school outreach tours, public venue performances, and a major tour to New York City. Additionally, Concert Choir performed complex repertoire collaboratively on two separate occasions this season: Rutter's Gloria, with adult choir Choral Arts Ensemble, and Rene Clausen's The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere performed at Lincoln Center in New York City along with musicians and singers from across the country. 2: Scholarships provided funding to all singers with need, including assistance to Concert Choir singers traveling to New York City. We added several fundraising options to help singers defray the cost of the New York City tour. Proceeds from both of these fundraisers were credited 100% to singers' accounts, and many of the singers participated. A focus was put on utilizing volunteers from within our membership, resulting this past season in the formation of a regular group of helpers for concerts, publicity, and outreach activities. Utilizing volunteers keeps our administrative hours low, while capitalizing on the many talented individuals in our midst.

Registration information allows us to accurately track student enrollment in on-site and online classes and conferences.

The Loft also recognizes and encourages writers of all levels by offering opportunities focused towards the many stages of artistic development of our constituents. We monitor enrollment by the skill level and genre of our classes. 2: The Loft will support a thriving artistic community by providing earning opportunities for writers.

Outcomes include a 10% growth in our library usership and a 20% growth in our educational offerings in the next year. We will build Minnesota's local, national, and international reputation as an important cultural center, making Minnesotans aware of the importance of contemporary art to our collective identity. Through support from the State Arts Board and a project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, we firmly established our library's visiting art and curator lecture series. Our artists and curators presented lectures and engaged with the public on a monthly basis. After a number of record attendance lectures most notably a lecture by St Paul-based painter Bruce Tapola, where more than 100 attendees filled our space to over capacity, we decided to engage in a mini-capital campaign in the fall of 2012 to expand the library space. After a two month campaign, $50,000 was raised to expand the library to more than double its size. We continue to see high demand for these educational opportunities. We also formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota and local-publisher Univocal press to bring French philosopher Francois Laruelle to the Twin Cities for a series of workshops and talks at Midway and at the Weisman Art Museum. We are continuing to identify new opportunities to engage our audience both through our library's activities and our exhibition programming. In the summer of 2013, we hired our first full-time librarian to oversee much of this activity. 2: Midway Contemporary Art will originate three to five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of artists from Germany, Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and elsewhere. The artists were very enthusiastic regarding their experience at Midway. They continue to remark on the positive nature of the support they receive, both financial and also via our tremendous staff. We are continuing to identify new ways to provide this critical support to these artists to enable them to realize ambitious projects where otherwise they might not find the light of day. This is an increasingly vital component to how we view our core values at Midway. These values translate into growing a broader appreciation for Minnesota’s role in supporting the creation of new cultural value on both a local and international stage.","We grew our audience and deepened our local constituents' understanding and appreciation of the arts through our library, exhibitions, and educational programming. Library usage grew by an estimated 15%, and participation at educational offerings in the library and offsite events grew by 25%. 2: Midway originated five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of thirteen artists from Minneapolis, Berlin, Glasgow, Brussels, San Paolo, Nova Scotia, New York, Tehran/Berlin, Frankfurt, and Vancouver. Much of the work was commissioned by Midway, while in one group exhibition work was on loan from major museums and private collections from New York, Beirut, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other cities. As part of this exhibition season, we instituted a formal artist stipend policy of providing the artists with $5,000 in addition to covering all expenses including the production, shipping, travel, per diem, and accommodations related to the exhibitions. The exhibitions received very positive reviews and coverage in local, national, and international press outlets, both trade industry and general public.",,404393,Other,418026,,"Sally Blanks, Jim Cahn, Leslie Cohan, Toby Dayton, Isa Gagarin, Michelle Grabner, Randy Hartten, Katharine Kelly, Chris Larson, Kati Lovaas, Alan Polsky, Jay Swanson",,"Midway Contemporary Art","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Rasmussen,"Midway Contemporary Art","527 2nd Ave SE",Minneapolis,MN,55414-1103,"(612) 605-4504 ",johnr@midwayart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-211,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Celebrate Lutheran contributions to arts and culture through performance; train a new generation of practitioners through education programs; and introduce new audiences through outreach activities. Program evaluation takes place on an ongoing basis. We measure success based on quantitative factors like enrollment and retention, and qualitative factors like overall participant experience and musical integrity of performances. We conduct written surveys of participants in our larger activities, and have staff members available after every performance for informal feedback. This information is compiled by the Executive Director and presented to the Artistic and Program Committee of the Lutheran Music Program Board of Directors. 2: Create a welcoming community that intentionally engages musicians and music appreciators of all ages and backgrounds. Elderhostel retreats, middle school choral camps, At Home events, partnerships, and hymn festivals create thriving environments around a shared musical heritage. Teens are embraced as we teach compassion and celebrate others' successes. As noted above, written surveys are an important evaluation tool. In addition to assessing everything from cafeteria food to performance facilities, constituents are invited to provide feedback on our commitment to nurturing community (one of our core organizational values). In fiscal year 2013, program participants overwhelmingly indicated that community is one of our greatest strengths. As in previous years, teens who attended Lutheran Summer Music Academy reported that our emphasis on camaraderie over competition helped them build self-confidence and grow musically. Older adults who participated in the senior adult retreat expressed gratitude for the warm welcome they received from Lutheran Summer Music Academy staff members, particularly accommodations like large print programs, transportation assistance, etc. Finally, because our goal is to welcome musicians of all faith traditions, religious diversity is an important indicator of success. In fiscal year 2013, 25% of Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival participants self-identified with a religion other than Lutheranism.","During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program successfully presented or co-presented workshops and performances; two hymn festivals; one middle school choral camp; one senior adult retreat; and the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival.

We're pleased to report strong enrollment and positive participant feedback for activities taking place in fiscal year 2013. Overall, constituents indicated that both performance and educational activities presented by Lutheran Music Program were engaging, informative musical experiences. 2: In fiscal year 2013, we served people of all ages, abilities, economic backgrounds, and religious traditions. Our middle school choral camp took place in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul, while Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival served high school musicians from communities like St Hilaire, Gaylord, and Motley. During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program offered all of our performances free-of-charge and open to the public. We also provided significant scholarship support and discount opportunities for tuition-based programs like Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. Finally, Lutheran Music Program continues to encourage people of all ages to join together in harmony; last year, our hymn festivals featured Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival alumni side-by-side with older adults.

We evaluated our success through post-production evaluation surveys, the completion of which was required of all contracted artistic personnel. The quantitative portion of the survey asked personnel to score the quality of lights, set, overall production, etc., on a scale from one to five. The results were compared to previous surveys. The qualitative portion asked designers to talk about their experience, how they felt about their work as part of the production team, and to give suggestions for improvement. We found the qualitative input we received to be much more useful than the quantitative results of the surveys. 2: Broaden audience by increasing individual attendees by 10% through the expansion and refinement of current marketing plans and strategies. Outcome success was evaluated by the number of individual attendees. We evaluated the success or failure of the planning efforts through staff and board conversations, both group and individual.","Lyric Arts increased its total production budget by 39%. Stipends for contracted directors, designers, and other artistic personnel increased by 42%, making our rates more equitable with what is offered in the rest of the seven-county metro area and allowing us to hire highly qualified personnel for every production in our season. We were also able to spend more on supplies and equipment. Based on feedback from the artists involved in the season, many of whom were of a higher caliber than in previous seasons, artistic excellence increased substantially. That same feedback pointed out opportunities for improvement in our production process. This led to changes in our artistic staff and a reorganization that will lay the ground work for future growth and success. 2: Lyric Arts saw no substantial increase in the number of individual attendees from year to year through the expansion of current marketing plans. In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff. As a result, Lyric Arts has reorganized the administrative staff to create departments for specialists instead of collaboration between generalists. It is our hope that this change will allow us to refine our strategies organization wide and provide a foundation for future growth.

The Regional Artist and Community Engagement Initiative builds programmatic collaborations through outreach and celebrates some of our region's most talented artists. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum is organizing a related curatorial initiative called the 2012 Minnesota Photographer Series. Both of these initiatives aim to bring Minnesota art and artists to communities in ways that are relevant and meaningful. Operating support helps ensure a high quality and ambitious exhibition program at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum by helping to pay for professional staff and exhibition related expenses. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum facilitated 12 temporary exhibitions, four of which had the work of Minnesota artists and more that had Minnesota content. Evaluating the success of temporary exhibitions is qualitative and quantitative. In fiscal year 2013, the Museum utilized its qualitative evaluation form which includes social, educational, artistic, and economic benefit categories. An example of this evaluation is that the Minnesota photography exhibition Craig Blacklock's Lake Superior had noted artistic quality, it had raised awareness of a social issue (caring for environment), and furthered artistic training through a master's workshop offered at low cost. The primary quantitative indicator is attendance. In 2012, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum reached record attendance, in large part due to the success of exhibitions during fiscal year 2013. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum has high accessibility standards. The facilities meet or exceed accessibility standards and the Museum operates an access program called SPARK!, which is for individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The Museum resides in a college town, and, in an effort to meet the needs of area students, maintains Free Students Tuesdays. Further accessibility goals have been defined in the Museum's Strategic Plan and will continue to be sought. Museum Visitor Experience staff at the Museum regularly communicate to the Executive Director the increase in student visits, as well as the regular usage of the Museum's wheelchairs, which get utilized 4 - 5 times per week. The Museum has over 90 volunteers that gather feedback from museum visitors during all hours of operation- both good comments and criticisms - that are also communicated with the Executive Director and staff. These comments are used for decision making purposes and to ensure the continuation of meeting community needs. To evaluate the continued success of its Free Student Tuesday policy, the Museum tracks these visitors and serves over 1,000 admission free students annually.","Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Minnesota Marine Art Museum continues to be successfully dedicated to working with Minnesota artists, educating about their work, and connecting the public with them in meaningful ways. In fiscal year 2013, operating funds supported the exhibition of 15 living Minnesota artists in four exhibitions, including the exhibition 150 Years on Minnesota's Waters. That exhibition was a collaboration with the Minnesota Historical Society and was fully sponsored by the fiscal year 2013 Operating Support. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts: All Minnesota Marine Art Museum exhibitions, including those supported by fiscal year 2013 Operating Support, meet or exceed accessibility standards for people with disabilities. There are no stairs in or around the Museum's facilities, and curators utilize best practices for accessibility in exhibition design. The Museum is able to offer free wheelchairs and has a stroller for families visiting exhibitions. Furthermore, the Museum maintains a low admission fee and has a Free Student Tuesdays policy. Maintaining our Free Students Tuesdays is vital because Winona is a college town, with three universities comprising about 1/3 of the local population. Also vital to making sure the Museum serves people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities, is a commitment to offer over 24 free programs and over 20 low cost programs per year that connect diverse people with exhibitions.",,513785,Other,527687,2211,"John Anfinson, James Bowey, Cassie Cramer, Jim Eddy, Michael Galvin, Dan Hampton, Mark Metzler, Betsy Midthun, Nancy Nelson, Rachelle Schultz, Phil Schumacher, Don Sloan",,"Minnesota Marine Art Museum","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Andrew,Maus,"Minnesota Marine Art Museum","800 Riverview Dr",Winona,MN,55987-2272,"(507) 474-6626x 12",amaus@minnesotamarineart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Winona, Olmsted, Fillmore, Houston, Wabasha, Goodhue, Dakota, Washington, Hennepin, Anoka",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-224,"Sara Buechmann: Executive director, Mankato Symphony Orchestra.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development; associate professor, Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Paula Justich: Program director of arts and cultural management, St Mary's University of Minnesota.; Elisa Korentayer: Artist and consultant.

Once again, Minnesota Youth Symphonies students have risen to the challenge of their repertoire and performed with enthusiasm and technical prowess. Students performed three concerts last season which featured a diverse selection of music, ranging from String Orchestra's energetic rendition of Pirates of the Caribbean to Symphony Orchestra's inspiring year-end finale of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. According to our year-end student survey, 81% of students thought that the level of music they performed was a perfect level to challenge them with out being overwhelmingly difficult. 2: Cultivate leadership in students by fostering commitment and role modeling, demanding excellence, and encouraging achievement. Our year-end student survey found that 98% of our orchestra students felt that playing with Minnesota Youth Symphonies had improved their technical proficiency, and 99% of students found their conductor and rehearsals inspiring. Additional comments were quite positive, including personal achievements: Learned tenor clef to Especially improved my sight-reading skills. Overall feelings about the organization and performances were also positive: Minnesota Youth Symphonies is the best flute experience! I hope everyone can experience it! to Though nervous, it's always an exhilarating experience to play such awesome music in front of people.

We offer the following as evidence we accomplished our goals with respect to the Ridgedale location: We rotated art work through 14 display vitrines in the common areas an average of two times each. Our shop is open seven days a week with extended hours during the holidays. Artwork by more than 100 regional artists includes painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, fiber, ceramics, glass, woodworking, and jewelry. We have also continued to host children's birthday parties, averaging 2-3 per month. Total visitation to our shop last fiscal year was 10,358, a small increase over the prior year despite slightly reduced hours of operation. 2: Meet targets for participation in series classes, outreach, and exhibition programs.

Fiscal year 2013 demographic data was obtained through pre-show surveys at 22 Mixed Blood mainstage performances. The anonymous surveys were constructed with respect to cultural differences, measuring age, gender, household income, ethnicity, identification within the disability community, and exposure to theatre. Mixed Blood staff optimized audience survey collection through a variety of hand-on techniques; as a result, survey return rates were consistently over 90%.

Initial financial goals are to increase the number of long-term donors, to design a new annual fundraising event, and to establish an estate giving campaign. Assessment used to design and implement a new financial model includes evaluation of five years of financial data by the executive director and treasurer. Further, monthly reports are presented to the finance committee and board by program staff, based on year to date and individual event financials. The Board of Directors, Finance Committee and Executive Director meet every two weeks to continue the process of developing and implementing the new sustainable finance plan. 2: Increase outreach through marketing and membership. Currently, a team is redesigning marketing materials and formalizing a marketing calendar. The membership committee is identifying more entry points for non-members at events. Measurable outcomes for marketing will include a marketing strategy and a media network database. Outcomes for participation will be reflected in more tickets sales, class registrations, and memberships. The executive director and program staff analyze data collected on pre- and post-event forms within one week of the close of the event. This information is used to refine our marketing practices. Each month the board driven membership committee and the executive director lead the analysis of member surveys and feedback from lapsed member phone calls.","Two financial vitality objectives include technology upgrades and establishment of a long-term financial model that includes increased membership, establishing sustaining donors, and investment in depreciation and our endowment.

Create at least two productions of original work created by diverse artists in each fiscal year. Present at least one national or international artist of color, and commission or present at least one local or national indigenous artist to audiences in Minneapolis and St Paul. Evaluations were quantitative and qualitative; they were participatory including surveys, feedback, and narrative evaluation. Both plays were attended by diverse audiences. Hmong Bollywood included eighteen flash mob dancers and worked with local Hmong community organizations in St Paul, bringing in a large Hmong audience to see the performance. There was a smaller population of South Asian Indians because of the content of the play. One audience member said, The show was tremendously well done. Not enough attention is paid to immigrant/refugee men. It was amazing how I saw my life reflected in a story you think would be dissimilar to my own. 2: Cultivate the cultural vitality of local immigrant communities through artistic and community based programming. Commission and produce plays and performances by two new artists from immigrant communities through our Alternate Visions series, and actively market this to develop a more diverse audience. Foster dialogue and create large-scale performance events with the immigrant community on Lake Street as part of our Hyphe-Nations: Immigration Matters series. Pangea evaluated its progress through the constituencies we serve: diverse and immigrant audiences, participating artists, community activists, peacemakers, human rights workers, scholars, workshop participants, and immigrant community leaders, in cooperation with Pangea staff. In the process of internal and external evaluations we: 1) used qualitative measures to assess the positive impact of the diverse working environment on artists and technical staff. 2) Used artists, our audiences, and our board to evaluate productions. The information collected is being used to improve internal processes of the theater. 3) Kept records of the ethnic make-up of our audience garnered through surveys asking for detailed demographic information. Demographic information about audiences helped us directly target the diverse audiences we serve.","Pangea presented Morphologies: A Global Queer Arts Festival, a first ever collaboration. Pangea productions Hmong Bollywood and Lorca in a Green Dress challenged perceptions and brought multiple communities together at the intersection of art and human rights. Hmong Bollywood was a one-woman show, written and performed by 1.5 generation Hmong American Katie Ka Vang. The play depicts her experiences of American struggle, painful memories, fear, and cancer as she escapes into the fantastical world of Bollywood. The performance blended creative non-fiction, broken prose, monologues, video installation, media art, Bollywood dance numbers, and choreography. The production team was incredibly talented and diverse, and led by director Meena Natarajan. Our annual collaboration with Teatro Del Pueblo was Lorca in a Green Dress by Pulitzer prize winning playwright, Nilo Cruz. The play took place in 1936 Spain, in a time of civil war and a climate of intolerance. The play had a diverse cast with three Latino actors and was performed at the Ritz Theater. 2: In the 2013 Alternate Visions Series we commissioned new playwrights Al Justinano, Marisa Carr, and Ismail Khalidi. We have also been working with Anton Jones' multi genre piece Med/i/a and Masanari Kawahara's Hiroshima in workshops and will premier both of those plays in 2014. Our Hyphe-NATIONS: Immigrants Matter program culminated in a performance and celebration of our community-based theater program that addressed issues facing the Latina/o immigrant community of the Twin Cities.

20632,"Operating Support",2013,21856,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Provide diverse artistic programming that reaches out to, and provides a stage for, underserved populations in Minnesota, including artists with disabilities, artists of color, and GLBT/queer-identified artists. Outcomes: connect with organizations to invite artists on our stage that are often underserved. Collaborate with organizations in an effort to create a stronger community for all artists. Seek out and invite artists from all backgrounds, artistic genres, and experience levels to perform in cabarets. Create opportunities for Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities to participate in the arts through varied programming, minimal barriers to performing on our stage, and no auditions. We evaluated our programming through a number of tracking systems. 1) Number of performance opportunities for artists. 2) Number of development opportunities for artists. 3) Total dollars paid out to artists. 4) Artist demographics (women, artists of color, GLBTQ-identified artists, youth artists, artists with disabilities, and transgender artists). 5) We initially surveyed artists, curators and audience members, but found it difficult to collect them (only 2-5 surveys would be returned per show). Instead, we met, phoned, and emailed groups to find out their opinions on effectiveness of shows. 2: Cultivate a love of art in future generations through the High School Cabarets Program. Outcomes: Work with local high schools to help students plan, create, and produce a cabaret. Encourage interested students to perform in additional cabarets and core programming, thus strengthening their connection to the arts. Provide free workshops that will further enhance their school curriculum and give economically disadvantaged students the opportunity to grow and develop artistically. Encourage the next generation of artists to develop their craft, and learn to appreciate the similarities and differences of their peers. We evaluated the High School Cabarets program through a number of methods. 1) We surveyed students and teachers to find the strengths, weaknesses, and overall opinion of the program. 2) We tracked demographics of students (students of color, GLBTQ-identified students, and students with disabilities). 3) We tracked students that performed in other programming at the Cabaret. 4) We tracked the number of students that became volunteers at the Cabaret.","We reached this goal through many different programming opportunities this year. We collaborated with Interact Center and the Epilepsy Foundation to add artists with disabilities to our shows, tripling the number of artists with disabilities over last year. Our cabaret Sistah Solo featured female African American artists, with performers ranging in age from 5 - 80 years old. We added new programming for anyone to perform in. Scrawlex is a monthly open stage night where performers sign up for a time slot and perform whatever they want. It is a chance for new and young artists to try something out in front of an audience. We added The Calof Spoken Word Series, which gives spoken word artists and singer/songwriters a chance to perform works-in-progress and receive feedback from audiences. 526 artists performed last year, including: 54% women, 31% artists of color, 29% GLBTQ artists, 18% youth (under age 18), 9% artists with disabilities, and 1% transgender artists. 2: We reached this goal through the following means. 1) We worked with 352 students from eight schools or youth organizations. Of the students that performed, 60% were students of color, 6% GLBTQ identified, and 1% students with disabilities. 2) We presented a total of seven High School Cabarets in the 2012-2013 school year. 3) We incorporated seven high school students into additional shows, including a student who performed slam poetry in a Calof Series evening and another who choreographed her first dance for an Open Call Cabaret last October. 4) We collaborated with Young Dance to present a weeklong workshop opportunity free to high school students that incorporated dance, movement, self-exploration, and stage presence.

Outcomes: member playwrights will have more opportunities to connect and share their work with each other and the public. Playwrights' Center fellows and Core Writers will be provided new play development resources that better reflect their working style and the needs of the particular play being developed. Playwrights' Center fellows and Core Writers will be introduced to and connected with theater leaders, building relationships that lead to commission/production. The number of member playwrights increased from 1,150 to 1,250, and the number living in Minnesota held steady at 237. We received positive feedback from members about improvements to the membership section of our Web site, informed by our members survey. We increased Twin Cities metro area and statewide participation in activities like our Members Open Readings. We received positive written and verbal feedback from fellows and Core Writers about technology upgrades and process improvements to new play development in our Lab. We received positive survey responses from participants (including 6 Minnesota colleges) in our New Plays on Campus program and from our 5 Core Apprentices and their mentor playwrights. Written feedback from visiting producing-theater leaders has been overwhelmingly positive, e.g.: I was excited by the diversity of artists and aesthetics of the group and feel I came away with a list of Minnesota playwrights I am going to keep my eye on. - Kirsten Brandt, San Jose Repertory Theatre 2: Play an integral role in the vitality of the Minnesota theatrical ecosystem by serving as a trustworthy connection to high caliber, diverse playwrights and a generous partner to organizations looking to create and develop new plays. Outcomes: Minnesota producing theaters will develop new plays in partnership with the Playwrights' Center, serving the playwright, making new plays stronger, and moving them closer to production. Producing theaters will commission, develop, and produce new plays by Minnesota playwrights. Minnesota cultural institutions and community organizations will use playwriting and new plays as vehicles for serving their communities. Assessments concluded that we had successful partnerships with our Minnesota partners - Theatre Novi Most, Walker Art Center, Minnesota History Center, Workhaus Collective, and Unit Collective. We received positive feedback about playwriting classes we provided via Veterans in the Arts. We received significant attention and positive feedback for our partnership with the City of Minneapolis to commission playwright Trista Baldwin for a new short play featured in the Bridge Project event commemorating the anniversary of the 35W bridge collapse and rebuild. Works previously developed at the Center were produced in Minnesota in the last year at Walker Art Center, the Guthrie Theater's Dowling Studio, and St. Olaf College.

20638,"Operating Support",2013,28889,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","To continue to present Ragamala’s signature work—nationally recognized for its contemporary approach to Bharatanatyam—at major Twin Cities venues and in small, remote communities in Greater Minnesota that would not otherwise have access to Indian arts and culture. Outcome: diverse new audiences throughout the state of Minnesota will have the opportunity to experience Ragamala’s unique artistic work and encounter the arts and culture of India. Minnesota’s Indian community will have the opportunity to see its own artistic traditions presented as a vital part of our state’s vibrant cultural environment. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts thrive in Minnesota and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Ragamala evaluates the quality of our programs based on feedback from participants and community partners. We evaluate our ability to reach new audiences and integrate the arts into the community in new ways by examining attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new partners. New partners in 2012-13 included the Northfield Senior Wellness Center, Division Street Dance School, four Minnesota elementary schools and local amateur percussionist Balaji Chandran. Feedback included, I really loved it when [students] immediately reacted with their hands when the demonstration explained how words are formed by the hands in the dance, (South Elementary, St Peter, Minnesota) Professional, exciting to watch, and related well to children. The students and staff loved the performance! (Cowern Elementary, North St Paul) The instructors were AMAZING. They were so knowledgeable, such professionals, so well-prepared. (Cowles Center Distance Learning Program). 2: To continue to expand our outreach programs, which bring our work directly to Minnesota communities through free performances, workshops, and residencies at K-12 schools, universities, libraries, museums, parks, senior citizens’ homes, and workplaces. Outcome: audiences underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, or perceptual barriers will have first-hand arts experiences and be exposed to the arts and culture of India. Youth and adults will learn about the arts and culture of India and build skills necessary to communicate across boundaries of ethnicity, nationality, and religion. This will support Minnesota State Arts Board objectives: the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. As noted above, we evaluate outreach programs based on feedback, attendance, demographics of attendees, and whether or not we have engaged new artistic and organizational partners. Our partnership with the Bloomington Center for the Arts was new this year, and feedback included OH MY WORD!!! Words cannot express how BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING was! (audience member) Our staff had nothing but great things to say about the performance. (Ridgeview Elementary) The dancers were amazing - such grace and definition. The question and answer time at the end was delightful and we learned a great deal. Our seniors enjoyed it very much, and we are very grateful for helping us cover the busing cost. (Sabes Jewish Community Center staff) According to audience surveys, attendees at our 2013 world premiere of 1,001 Buddhas: Journey of the Gods at Minneapolis' Cowles Center came from eighteen Minnesota counties. Approximately 14% identified as Indian, 6% African American, 3% Native American, 3% Middle Eastern, 66% White, and 9% selected Other.","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: Ragamala is nationally recognized as a model for creative community outreach. In addition to extensive activities in K-12 schools, we look beyond this traditional model in order to weave our presence into the fabric of Minnesota communities in innovative ways. We partner with museums, libraries, senior centers, cultural festivals, hospitals, public agencies, places of worship and workplaces, custom-designing activities to suit the needs of each constituency. Highlights of the 2012-13 season include dance workshops for the Northfield Senior Wellness Center and Division Street Dance School in Northfield, an informal concert/jam session by our world renowned artists with community-based South Asian percussionists, and a performance by advanced students of the Ragamala School at the City of Minneapolis' Secret City/Hidden Places festival, as well as thirteen educational performances in K-12 schools in the Greater Twin Cities and St Peter. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate: Ragamala actively works to bring our programs directly to audiences that are underserved due to geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, physical, and perceived barriers. 2012-13 examples include: 234 people took advantage of highly subsidized tickets to Sacred Earth at the Bloomington Center for the Arts, providing a high-quality, affordable and geographically accessible experience to suburban audiences in a difficult economy. 375 youth and seniors (from four 4 local schools and Sabes Jewish Community Center) attended a free matinee and took advantage of free busing. Educational performances in Minnesota schools reached an additional 2,734. The Ragamala School (where 90% of students are young Indian girls) provides a high standard of training to the next generation of Bharatanatyam dancers in Minnesota, while instilling confidence, self-esteem, and the value of hard work, and providing role models of strong, successful Indian women.

Outcomes include: Nash Gallery will research and present an exhibition that situates Minnesota feminist art history within a national context. Feminist Art: Then and Now will be presented January-February 2013. Beginning spring 2012, Nash Gallery will reach out to art and history teachers at the 875 high schools in Minnesota and offer their students gallery tours with members of the research and curatorial teams organizing the exhibition. Regarding the outreach to high schools, we had hoped for a total attendance of 450 for the gallery tours. But a statistical evaluation showed that we came short of our 450 goal; we provided tours to 210 high school students. The schools are dealing with their budget limitations; even though we offered the gallery tours free of charge, they had to cover the cost of their own transportation. While we can't fund their transportation, we will continue the outreach efforts, to build and grow these relationships so that the Department of Art and Nash Gallery become a future priority. We are working with the Art Educators of Minnesota to try and bring the annual Scholastic Art Awards to the Regis Center for Art, beginning in February 2015. 2: Support experimentation and excellence by Minnesota artists. As an outcome, Nash Gallery will research and organize a group exhibition of Minnesota artists whose varied and experimental sensibilities investigate conceptions of culture, experience, and perceived value. Minnesota Funk will be presented December 2012-January 2013. The exhibition and public programs were very successful, according to our evaluation of the attendance and the community and media response. Janice Lane-Ewart, the curator of The Collective Eye program on Radio KFAI, invited Chris Larson and Herman Milligan on the radio program, to hear the selected jazz music and discuss the artworks. In her review for the Star Tribune (Minnesota Artists Not So Woebegon) Mary Abbe wrote, As an alternative to Minnesota's tradition of keenly observed landscapes, 'Funk' plumbs quirky psychic byways. In his review for Minnesota Monthly, Gregory Scott wrote, The list of exhibitors is pretty much a varsity line up of iconic contemporary artists working in our state. For the Walker Art Center blog Sarah Peters wrote of Larson's video, What begins as a simple recording of the artist working in his studio becomes a fascinating set of events that upturn the viewer's perception of the reality created by the camera. One of our visitors wrote to us, Wonderful idea. I like the threads that link the artworks. Great diversity of media.","As planned, we presented the exhibition The House We Built: Feminist Art Then and Now January 22 through February 23, 2013. The exhibition was presented in the Nash Gallery and included about seventy artists; most of them were Minnesota artists who had been part of the Women Artists Registry of Minnesota in the 1970s, and some were national artists. We also presented a companion exhibition of work by Josephine Lutz Rollins who taught at the Department of Art for nearly thirty years, along with students who had received the Josephine Lutz Rollins Fellowship that is awarded to a female graduate student each year. We had an overflow audience for the public lecture by artist Harmony Hammond on January 24, and a live video feed broadcast her lecture to another crowd in the building lobby. We reached out to the high schools as planned, and we were able to arrange a number of gallery tours, but not as many as we'd originally hoped. 2: As planned, we presented the exhibition Minnesota Funk December 4, 2012 through January 12, 2013. The exhibition included work in a variety of media by the following Minnesota artists: Kent Aldrich, Kate Casanova, Perci Chester, Kelly Connole, Jim Dryden, Mary Esch, Frank Gaard, Tom Garrett, Chris Larson, Faye Passow, Lamar Peterson, Sandy Resig, and Jenny Schmid. As we hoped, the exhibition provided a platform for artistic experimentation. For example, Frank Gaard asked us to curate a selection of his drawings and format the works as a digital sketchbook running to 250 pages. We presented Chris Larson's architectural video Heavy Rotation as a room-size projection, surrounded by his carved sculptures.

Northrop will create meaningful partnerships with traditional and non-traditional community partners to ensure that major performance events featuring artists of the highest caliber are available to the broad community in ways that are meaningful to them. In this way, Northrop aspires to support the Arts Board’s goal that arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. Embracing a culture of ongoing learning, Northrop maintains rigorous quantitative and qualitative assessment and evaluation practices to ensure high-quality programming. Northrop evaluates ticket sales, performance attendance, outreach participation, and demographic information, as well as soliciting feedback from artists, staff, partners, and audience members to determine success of programming and future goals. When possible, Northrop conducts a pre-evaluation of participants or attendees to set the baseline and better determine impact of activities. While evaluating the number of community partners, it is evident that Northrop's collaborations are growing in number and quality. Partnering organizations included Chinese American Association of Minnesota, Consulate General of Canada, GIRL Initiative, Global Programs and Strategy Alliance, Kate Nordstrom Project, Meet Minneapolis, Project SUCCESS, University of Minnesota Women's Center, United Cambodian Association of Minnesota, Walker Art Center, and others. 2: To provide access for new audiences by proactively responding to, curating for, and eliminating the participation barriers of underserved communities. Each season, Northrop curates six to ten major artistic events that engage community partners. We identify specific underserved communities to work with while sustaining relationships with past partners and audiences. Northrop provides tickets, transportation, and engagement activities to support the Minnesota State Arts Board's goal that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Through ongoing discussion and evaluation with community partners, Northrop learns from partner feedback and integrates evolving ideas into programming to best serve audiences and underserved communities. Northrop solicits feedback from audiences and partners in a variety of ways including audience intercept surveys, observation at all events, regular partner meetings, and feedback on our blog. ","The goal to present world-class, local, national, and international artists to diverse Minnesota audiences in collaboration with community partners was achieved by Northrop's presentation of nine dance companies (including Soledad Barrio, New York City Ballet, Hofesh Shechter Company, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, Bebe Miller Company, Joffrey Ballet, Groupo Corpo, Khmer Arts Ensemble, and Emily Johnson), staging of fifteen local bands, and co-presentation of four Accordo chamber music performances in its 2012-13 season, each accompanied by a breadth of free outreach activities and events. Collaborations with community groups, businesses, University departments, and governmental organizations supported extensive community involvement during these events. Through collaborations with more than forty organizations, performance preview discussions, post-performance question and answer sessions, panel discussions, and residency activities reached a wide range of Minnesotans. 2: Northrop hosted thirty community outreach activities including performance previews and in-school residency activities. We identified new communities to work with this year while sustaining relationships with past partners and audiences. In 2012-2013, Northrop's access initiatives included: 1) 15% of tickets available to underserved families and community groups free of cost; 2) meaningful engagement through ongoing partnerships with Project Success, GIRL Initiative, Girl Scouts, cultural groups, and community organizations; 3) transportation and childcare provided for performances; 4) artists and projects that positively reflect cultural and ethnic diversity of the community, including Khmer Arts and Women of Substance; and 5) events and residency activities that contextualize performances and build bridges of understanding for new audiences.",,3268443,Other,3414804,,"Linda Cohen, David Larson, Clyde Allen, Richard Beeson, Laura Brod, Thomas Devine, John Frobenius, Dean Johnson, David McMillan, Patricia Simmons, Peggy Lucas, Abdul Omari",,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Northrop AKA Northrop","State Government","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Christine,Tschida,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Northrop AKA Northrop","2829 University Ave SE Ste 750",Minneapolis,MN,55414-3279,"(612) 625-6600 ",tschidac@umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota, Scott, Washington, Carver, Rice",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-252,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

20644,"Operating Support",2013,93578,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Weisman Art Museum is an accessible portal into innovative arts experiences that spark discovery, critical thinking, and personal transformation ensuring that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Outcomes: over 150,000 visitors, artists, scholars, and community organizations that represent the diversity of our community participate in free museum art experiences; and more than 50 community and University partners will participate in collaborative planning and delivery of Weisman Art Museum exhibition, program, and outreach activities that reveal the perspectives of a diverse community. Actual visitorship was much more conservative than originally expected. A natural drop in museum engagement is expected after a major grand reopening but that was not factored into fiscal year 2013 goals. Staff changes, including departures and maternity leaves among education, marketing, and curatorial staff, also heavily impacted our fiscal year 2013 audience goals. And light rail construction continues to impact visitors' perception of our accessibility. Despite this new reality, Weisman Art Museum welcomed more than 178,000 visitors (55,800 onsite and 122,593 online) and met our campus and community collaboration goal with 53 partnerships by yearend. In fiscal year 2013, Weisman Art Museum introduced a new program evaluation process to create a more comprehensive review of activities. Feedback is captured through paper surveys at public programs and electronic surveys sent to audience members and to teachers following events and educational programs. These surveys measure the success of a program through quantifiable and anecdotal visitor experiences, simultaneously creating a profile of our visitors by obtaining demographic information as well as measuring individual participation in the arts community. Internal administrative and operational process evaluations are also completed by staff following all programs. 2: Use the intellectual and creative resources of a great university to advance the goal that Minnesotan's believe the arts are vital to who we are. Outcomes: multiply our ability to extend influence to statewide audiences through support for over 500 Minnesota educators through a combination of topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships; and facilitate the engagement of over 100 students and community 18-34 year olds in skills related to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships. At midyear, we adjusted our ambitions to reflect the more conservative realities previously mentioned. In addition to directly engaging 37 Minnesota educators, 2,547 email announcements were sent to Weisman educator email subscribers and to the Art Educators of Minnesota listserve. An Artful Writing Workshop announcement was sent to 903 Weisman education subscribers and to 450 Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. A Summer Teen Architecture Workshop invitation reached 744 Weisman education subscribers and Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. 450 email subscribers received an invitation to customize their Weisman/classroom experience during fiscal year 2013. Through Weisman Art Museum's new evaluation process, the museum is better able to determine current audiences; establish methods of diversifying and improving visitorship; tailor programs as necessary to fit specific audience interests and needs; and address program flaws and visitor concerns. These approaches allow a more complete view of Weisman visitor experiences, and more accurately highlight opportunities for improvement.","55,800 onsite visitors, and 122,593 online visitors to the Museum. 53 partners and collaborators participated in planning and delivery of programs. 2: 37 educators participated in topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships. 439 community 18-34 year olds participated in developing skills relating to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships.",,2635061,Other,2728639,93578,"Steve Apfelbacher, Frank Bates, Woodrow Byun, Fuller Cowles, Jennifer David, Cy DeCosse, Kristin Devine, Noah Eisenberg, Robert Elde, Rolf Engh, Thomas Fisher, Jon Hallberg, Gina King, Barry Kudrowitz, Anne Labovitz, Brian Longe, Emily Macy, Julie Matonich, Jose Peris, Shelly Regan, Gerald Rinehart, Philip Rosenbloom, Matthew Russo, Gary Smaby, Linda Soranno, Charlie Wagner, Kimberly Walsh, Deb Weiss, Perry Wilson",,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","State Government","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Lyndel,King,"Regents of the University of Minnesota-Weisman Art Museum AKA Weisman Art Museum","333 E River Rd",Minneapolis,MN,55455-0367,"(612) 625-9678 ",kingx001@umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Clay, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Pine, Polk, Ramsey, St. Louis, Waseca, Washington, Winona, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-253,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

As we offer more programming, our expenses go up. To combat this, we need to find ways to generate more revenue and reduce unnecessary spending. In 2012-2013, we will operate on a balanced budget and meet all budgeted areas by fiscal year’s end. We evaluated this goal by carefully breaking down each budget area with our board of directors, and we used applicable expense reports, receipts, and statements to compare projections to actual totals. We will use this information as we prepare future budgets to make sure our projections are as close to actual figures as we can get them, and we will meet regularly to adjust and refine numbers, as needed, to ensure we are operating in balance. 2: We will expand and build new audiences for quality arts programming in our regional community. Because we believe the arts to be a part of who we are and a defining characteristic of our community, we want to extend an invitation to all persons to take part in an event at our center. To that end, we will increase the size of our patron database to over 14,000 by the end of 2012-2013. We have dedicated software which we use to monitor, track and report all patron activity, donations, attendance, etc., and we used this software to document and evaluate the increase in our overall patron records.","Most areas of our budget came out as expected, but we had a serious decline in ticket sales from the previous year and did not meet budgeted projections in that area. A rash of inclement weather in our busiest part of the year (December-March) caused our projected ticket sales for marquee events to come up short. Because of this, we ended up about $50,000 off our estimated level. We have diligently reevaluated all sales projection techniques and will use this information to create much closer projections for next year's ticket sales. 2: We achieved this goal, with our patron database now at 14,065. We feel this is a reflection of our increased outreach to areas on the outskirts of our direct community, and also a testament to the programming that we are presenting. While ticket sales were lower than anticipated, our extension of free/reduced fee tickets this year helped to introduce many new people to the arts in our area. We feel that this increase will help us create and sustain stronger ticket sales in the future, and believe we are building a stronger base of patrons who will become paying customers in the seasons to come.",,796812,Other,826068,,"Kirk Adams, Gene Baker, Ben Edwards, Jean Goad, Louise Koglin-Fideldy, Dan Margo, Barbara McDonald, Scott Larson, Laurie Passard, Tom Peltier, John Schroeder, Cathy Shields, Michael Thursby, Donna Vennie",,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Marty,"Reif Arts Council AKA Reif Center","720 NW Conifer Dr","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-2475,"(218) 327-5780 ",david@reifcenter.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Itasca, Beltrami, Hubbard, Cass, Aitkin, Lake of the Woods, Koochiching, St. Louis, Lake, Cook",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-254,"Lawrence Adams: Principal, LarsonAllen, LLP.; Jonathan Carter: Solutions development manager, General Mills.; Ellen Copperud: Board member, Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council.; Kenna Cottman Sarge: Artistic director, Voice of Culture Drum and Dance.

Ticket sales and audience size shows interest in programming. Surveys show: flexibility in attending concert of choice and not having to stand in line were two motivations for tickets and membership. Goal 1: Improved artistic programming; and performed five concerts in Home Concert Series (Minneapolis, St Paul, and Duluth venues). Measure: Ticket sales measure numbers served; with surveys and feedback to measure audience response to programming. Goal 2: Improved K-12 educational residency initiative. Measure: Student and teacher feedback on survey insures residency is meaningful experience. We used a special evaluation tool to measure success in for standards based curriculum goals. Ticketing gathers data at each sale, regarding how they heard about the show, showing trends and how to most appropriately respond in our programming. Collecting email addresses at ticket sales; and various give aways to obtain email addresses. Email communication strengthened connections with regular and new audiences. 2: An additional important goal will be the creation of our next strategic plan for The Rose Ensemble, since our current strategic plan will expire during 2012. We anticipate engaging the staff and board in a process to create our new strategic plan in 2012. The Rose Ensemble now has a board with strength in the areas of finance, marketing, development, and educational outreach programming. It took longer during 2012-13 than was expected to recruit new board members; and to insure that they had the necessary skill sets to foster organizational growth. It was decided to place strategic planning on hold until we had a full complement of board members with what we considered to be the necessary skill sets. This meant that we did not meet our second project goal of establishing a new strategic plan. However, in taking our time to recruit key board members, we are now in a much more appropriate position to launch our strategic planning during 2013-14.","2012-13 Season concerts and programs included: Free season opening at Central Lutheran (Minneapolis); Miraculous Mass of Mary's Nativity of Our Lord Catholic (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis), Church of Saint Charles Borromeo (Minneapolis), each with pre-concert presentations; Vamos a Belen's Sacred Heart Music Center (Duluth), Nativity of Our Lord (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis) and Saint Philip the Deacon (Plymouth); Sibyls of the Rhine's Church of the Holy Cross (Minneapolis), Nativity of Our Lord (St Paul), Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis), Sacred Heart Music Center (Duluth) and pre-concert presentations at Nativity and Sacred Heart; and we presented Stile Antico at the Basilica of Saint Mary (Minneapolis). 2: A second goal was creation of our next strategic plan. This process was to occur during 2012-13. As board members retired, recruitment with specific skill sets became our top priority - when up to full strength, strategic planning can proceed. Recruitment took longer than expected, and strategic planning has been moved to fiscal year 2013-14. During 2012-13, we set parameters for accomplishing our mission; translating them into operational plans. Budgeting required staff to develop their own budgets. We chart income and expenses for each area, determining where we grow revenue and clarifying actual costs for programs. We moved forward in finance, development, marketing, and educational outreach programming.

Use the African, Asian, Islamic, Native American, and Latin American collections to reach underserved communities. Partner with Fargo-Moorhead community on courses for lifelong learners related to Rourke exhibits. Provide educational tours for 600 K-12 students. Host quarterly college nights with 250 students. Host educational tours for five local/community groups serving 150 adults. Create educational/informational fact sheets for key works in the collection, with large print versions. The most basic metric for evaluating success in terms of participation is quantitative: how many people came? Staff keep attendance logs and use observational evaluation to track age groups/general demographics. Most visitors opted not to fill out written surveys, leaving a respondent pool too small to be representative. We now use in-person, informal interviews by staff of visitors. Visitors routinely spend 10-15 minutes in discussion. Interviews allow staff the flexibility to ask follow-up questions, eliciting more detailed information. Finally, we track facebook 'buzz'; this is anecdotal but allows us to see what kind of programs or artists attract the most interest. While not exactly scientific, it does give us a sense of how a broader public is or is not engaged with our programs. Management reviews the metrics monthly to assess trends and gauge the impact of programming. 2: The arts thrive in Minnesota. Increase membership 10 percent overall and increase membership in under-represented groups (e.g., young professionals and families) by 25 percent. Present three master classes by visiting and/or exhibiting artists. Offer a lecture series for out-of-school adults using the permanent collection to illustrate different artistic styles or methods. Hold annual Open Studio event so the public can experience the creative process by watching an artist work from conception to completion. Our basic metric for evaluating success is quantitative: how many people were served? Staff use attendance logs and observational evaluation to track age/demographics. We use observational techniques for assessing reaction to programs: do visitors leave early? Do they fidget? Are they engaged? Asking relevant questions? Informal interviews allow us to better understand on a qualitative basis which programs are well-received and why. For example, the lecturer rather than the subject has had the biggest influence on the success of a program. And overall, audiences have preferred a dialog with an artist, curator, or historian rather than a straight-forward lecture. In other words, audiences want to be able to participate in the event. This seems in-keeping with the overall positive feedback we received on the open studios/master classes. Therefore, we are reconsidering offering lectures in future or will do so in a very specific way to reach a very specific audience.","Global collections provided key entry points for K-12 tours; approximately 1/3 of these students are non-white. Global works also provided opportunities to engage visitors with developmental disabilities. In Fall 2012, we offered a two day Communiversity class for lifelong learners to positive response; this Concordia College initiative has asked us to partner in the future. The Rourke gave educational tours to 525 K-12 students: 450 K-6 graders, 25 junior-high and 50 high-school. Pre-K educators are now requesting tours as well. We held three college events, attracting 265 students. We partnered twice with Minnesota State University-Moorhead. A third event attracted 65 students. We provided tours to eight local and community groups, serving 176 individuals ranging from Rotary Clubs to senior citizens. During the grant period, the Rourke created five fact sheets, making available large-print versions of each. 2: We maintained membership levels during the grant year, which we feel reflects an unfortunate nation-wide trend. The new up seems to be stay flat. And we did not make much headway in attracting young professionals or families as new members. However, young professionals and families now represent a larger portion of our overall visitors; we believe we can convert some of these visitors into members. A consultant with expertise in memberships is working largely pro bono to help us in these efforts. Visiting artist Moritz Gatze, from Germany, addressed art students from Minnesota State University-Moorhead (a quasi-master class) and local artist Carl Oltvedt provided a mixed master class/open studio on four separate occasions.

This will be done through various avenues: after-school outreach programs in urban communities in which artistic opportunities are limited; targeted performances in areas with few artistic groups or resources; festivals and workshops throughout the fiscal year that engage young people of diverse socio-economic backgrounds (such as Sing in the Summer and KidSing). The above outcomes were evaluated quantitatively based on involvement in our outreach programs and number of youth served through performances, workshops, camps, etc. We compared fiscal year 2013 figures with fiscal year 2012 figures, as well as with the three-year average from fiscal year 2010-2012. 2: Offering advanced musical opportunities: The Saint John’s Boys’ Choir seeks to offer the highest quality of choral music education available in the United States to our targeted membership in Central Minnesota. This includes the hiring of exceptional staff who regularly work with the singers; collaborations with professional artists from across the state, country, and world who can offer extraordinary insight and mentorship; and the purchase of music that represents the highest national standards of musical excellence. The artistic quality of the program and repertoire was evaluated qualitatively based on the experience and judgment of our artistic staff, verbal and written feedback of audience members and other professional artists, and standards set forth by the American Choral Directors' Association. The quality of the staff is evaluated every 1-2 years by external reviewers who are renowned artists in the choral field. Quantitative assessment was also used in measuring the number of collaborations and professional artists with whom our choirboys worked during fiscal year 2013. Audience attendance and concert revenue were also used as indicators as to how well the artistic program was serving the community.","The Saint John's Boy's Choir sought to extend arts opportunities to underserved youth through after-school programs, targeted performances, workshops, festivals, and camps. While unable to successfully remount an after-school program, we increased our presence in schools, presenting concerts and workshops for students. We targeted urban schools with socio-economically diverse populations, schools which recently suffered financial cuts to their arts programs, and rural schools with limited opportunities to attend performances. The number of youth served through activities rose significantly this year, and the organization saw increased participation in its two major extra-curricular outreach programs, KidSing (up 12%) and Sing in the Summer (up 161%).

Through the offering of these experiences and by participation in community outreach activities, including an increasing outreach audience of nursing homes and retirement communities, we provide a public service to the citizens of Southeastern Minnesota. Statistical data (enrollment numbers, audience participants, community members served, outreach events provided, etc.) is utilized as an important tool in evaluating our progress. 2: Minnesota Conservatory for Arts will continue to provide quality instruction and arts experiences for students and the community as it strives for excellence in the arts. These experiences will lead to a life-long appreciation of the arts, providing practitioners, audience members, and patrons with artistic and meaningful community life. Through consistent evaluation of our services and programs via surveys and open-forum feedback as well as encouraging and nurturing our students and staff in their areas of focus, Minnesota Conservatory for Arts is not only preparing alumni for a future in their respective art fields, but is also improving their quality of life as individuals and contributing members of society and the community. Through new and ongoing partnerships, community outreach events, and educational opportunities, we hope to broaden the scope of our audience. Internally, staff is evaluated in annual employee assessments with their immediate supervisor and teaching artists are observed and evaluated. Evaluating instructional quality, artistic excellence, and administrative proficiency are valuable tools of the overall success in carrying out the school's goals and mission.","Minnesota Conservatory for Arts continues to provide services to the community through accessible arts experiences, ranging from recreational to pre-professional performing and visual arts education and outreach opportunities. In addition to affordable programs, we have never turned away a student based on financial need and offer the following aid: financial need-based scholarships, family discounts, student discounts and packages, adult wellness discounts, interest-free payment plans, apprenticeship tuition credits, and reduced-tuition programs. With increased outreach opportunities at senior centers and nursing homes, Minnesota Conservatory for Arts is reaching a specific demographic that would traditionally not be exposed to our current programming. The continuation of these types of outreach events and the exploration of new partnership opportunities within the community is crucial to providing arts-based experiences to people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities in Southeastern Minnesota. 2: By providing quality arts experiences for students and the community, Minnesota Conservatoary for Arts continues to strive for artistic excellence and the highest level of instruction in arts education. In offering the community a special abridged matinee version of our production of The Nutcracker, and inviting local seniors to our Dance Repertory Company Spring Concert matinee, both at reduced ticket rates, we reached new audience members and potential patrons of the arts. Through new and ongoing partnerships, community outreach events, and educational opportunities, we broadened the scope of our audience. The continuing growth of all our divisions, nurturing of our partnerships and relationships, and participation in outreach events is key to the arts flourishing within our community.",,222919,Other,231945,,"Mary Burrichter, Brother William Clarey, James Coogan, John Domanico, Michael Dougherty, Marilyn Frost, Karen George, Michael Gostomski, William Herzog, Mark Jacobs, Betty Kabara, Linda Kuczma, Brother William Mann, Brother Michael McKenery, Paul Meyer, Brother Frederick Mueller, Kaye O'Leary, Brother David Poos, Hamid Quraishi, Brother Gustavo Ramirez Barba, Richard Reedy, Mary Ann Remick, Joseph Ross, Terrance Russell, Patrick Salvi, Brother Larry Schatz, Brother Robert Schieler, Sandra Simon, Michael Slaggie, John Smarrelli Jr, Walter Smithe III, Mary Wlazik, Mary Becker, Cynthia Marek, Jim Armstrong, Laura Armstrong, Dee Strom, Jeff Strom",,"Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts AKA The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Joelle,Harris,"Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts AKA The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts","1164 W 10th St",Winona,MN,55987,"(507) 453-5501 ",jharris@smumn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Winona, Wabasha, Houston, Fillmore, Itasca",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-263,"Lawrence Adams: Principal, LarsonAllen, LLP.; Jonathan Carter: Solutions development manager, General Mills.; Ellen Copperud: Board member, Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council.; Kenna Cottman Sarge: Artistic director, Voice of Culture Drum and Dance.

The Schubert Club education and outreach activities are integral to future performers and audience members. Project CHEER will provide free piano and guitar lessons to over 100 inner-city students with limited access; our Composer Mentorship Program provides hands-on learning experiences with live composers for high school students who have the desire and gift to compose but no access; our six Family Concerts will provide toddlers to mature audiences up-close and personal experiences with professional artists; ten masterclasses, public school assemblies, and nursing home performances will reach hundreds without access to live performances. At the conclusion of the school year, students in Project CHEER all participated in a recital, which was attended by families and friends of the students. The audience enthusiasm was an indicator of the success of the program. A written evaluation from the parents of the participants was requested, and their assessment gave Project CHEER high marks with great value for their children, families and community. CHEER gave these young people a productive, safe, and creative after-school program that gives them skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives. The Composer Mentorship Program required a written evaluation from the students, their families and the members of Pavia Winds. The evaluation assesses the impact of the program and helps The Schubert Club understand where improvement can take place. Written letters and online feedback from the teachers and students gave us a solid assessment of the value of the assemblies, workshops and family events. 2: Provide best-in-class performances through our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series concerts. Offer a broad range of professional musical artists in recital through our five performances in our International Artist Series, and present the world's best-in-class performers for our audiences. Engage top chamber music artists from Minnesota and around the world to perform on our Music in the Park Series. Through these two series, we look to increase our subscribers and single ticket buyers through enhanced media and communications, in addition to creating the subscription concerts with a wide variety of artists that will attract diverse audiences. Measurement tools that indicate success are strong ticket sales, critical reviews, and most importantly, online surveys that are sent to all ticket buyers after each performance. The average rate of response to our survey is 25%, far above the national average of only 3%. This rate of return proves that the arts are vital to who we are in our community, and people care enough to participate in evaluating our programming. Also, the feedback has been consistently high in all categories, validating the quality of performances that The Schubert Club presents, and the importance of keeping our ticket prices affordable. ","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: The Schubert Club brings the arts into the community, enhancing the experience for all who participate. This was done through concerts, education, and museum programs. We served over 100 students, grades 3 - 12 through Project CHEER, our free piano and guitar lesson program at the Martin Luther King Center in the Selby-Dale neighborhood in St Paul. Four high school students from around the area worked for an entire year with our composer-in-residence, learning from each other and a professional composer. They each wrote new compositions for local ensemble, Pavia Winds, with public performances on our Courtroom Concert Series. School assemblies, workshops, family concerts and collaborative concerts reached over 2,000 people of all ages. Each of these activities focused on different groups of people within our community. 2: Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Schubert Club strives to provide the best-in-class musical performances for audiences in the Twin Cities. Through increased marketing efforts including print, online, radio, television, and social media outlets, we have increased our subscription and single ticket buyers for both our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series. Additionally, we partnered with Accordo, the professional string ensemble made up of the first-chair players from the Minnesota Orchestra and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for four concerts in Minneapolis over the course of the season. The concerts were sold-out, exceeding our projections financially and audience numbers.

Measurable outcome: in response to changes in the structuring of Adult Day Programs, we will carry out a new model of adult programming that is integrated into day-to-day services, multiple times a week. By expanding our work with adults with disabilities, who would otherwise have limited access to the arts, we are addressing the Minnesota State Arts Board’s goal that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. We track our service and client numbers, and carry out pre- and post- program evaluations on each program participant, as well as staff/ teacher evaluations. In fiscal year 2013, we carried out 170 hours of programming for adults with disabilities at Adult Day programs, and worked with eleven different Adult Day programs. This is an increase from the previous year, but even more substantial is how our expansion and development of adult programming in fiscal year 2013 has attracted new clients and leveraged funding so that in fiscal year 2014, we will carry out 290 hours of programming for twenty four different Adult Day program groups. Our evaluation from the past year found our programs had significant impact on participants' social and vocational skills, and increased exposure and participation in the arts. Our evaluation and service numbers help us to demonstrate that we are contributing to the Minnesota State Arts Board's strategic goal that People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. 2: Respond to the current economic climate, by refining our program model and pricing to ensure our programs are both sustainable and accessible to our clients. Measurable outcome: in 2013, we will maintain our current clients and service numbers, while maintaining a balanced budget. By making strategic organizational changes to ensure our mission to serve people of all abilities is carried out and ensure that all of our clients can access our services, we are addressing the Minnesota State Arts Board’s goal that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts. The main demonstration that we achieved our goal is that we ended our fiscal year 2013 with a balanced budget and surplus to bolster our cash reserves. We now have in place more robust financial systems, policies and reporting capabilities and our Board and staff have increased their expertise in financial management. This is demonstrated by the fact that we underwent review and met the standards of the Charities Review Council this past year. We track our service and client numbers, and carry extensive program evaluations to track our organizational impact. In fiscal year 2013, while streamlining costs, Upstream Arts increased our service numbers and the number of programs we carried out, by serving over 1,900 individuals ages birth to 75+ of all abilities, including those with cognitive, developmental, emotional, behavioral, physical disabilities and visual and hearing impairments, thereby advancing the Minnesota State Arts Board’s goal that People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities participate in the arts.","We had the goal to develop and expand our programming with adults with disabilities. We achieved this by carrying out a new model of programming integrated into the daily services adults receive at one Adult Day program. We also further refined our arts based vocational programming at multiple Adult Day programs. Overall we increased the number of adults served, and the number of Adult Day Centers with which we worked. Adults with disabilities continue to be an underserved community in terms of arts access and participation. Our intentional engagement with this group, our strong partnerships with Adult Day programs around the metro, and our development of programming tailored to adults with disabilities, increased our ability to engage these individuals. By expanding our work with adults with disabilities, who would otherwise have limited access to the arts, we are addressing the Minnesota State Arts Board's goal that People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. 2: We had the goal to refine our program model and pricing to ensure our programs are both sustainable and accessible to our clients. We achieved this by streamlining our program and organizational costs through staff and structural changes. We worked with the Non Profits Assistance Fund and accountant to upgrade our financial systems and policies, and to train our Board and staff on financial planning. We achieved our goal of ending the year with a balanced budget, as well as surplus that will bolster our cash reserves and sustainability and flexibility in the face of changing funding systems. Upstream Arts is one of the only Minnesota arts organizations focused on individuals with disabilities.

Our WITNESS program has an evaluation system that was implemented more than 10 years ago and has recently been enhanced by independent evaluation consultants. A staff person conducts classroom observation of each Teaching Artist and evaluates teacher involvement to assess future partnership opportunities. A formal process of program assessment and evaluation of the program is in place, focusing on student and teacher response to the curriculum and impact of the teaching artists. Teaching artist feedback is required at the completion of each session and is gathered through a written evaluation and an end-of-year focus group. The level of satisfaction from participants is high and continually improves. Likewise for Cantaré, a professional evaluation firm has developed a logic model, and VocalEssence implements surveys and focus groups to evaluate the program. The Director of Community Engagement also regularly conducts classroom observations of each Cantaré Composer. 2: More than 1,000 adults will attend one of our community outreach activities. A formative and summative evaluation of the Choral Pathways program was completed by an independent consulting firm. A formative evaluation was completed in December 2012 and consisted of qualitative research including observation of workshops, and focus groups or interviews with participants and activities directors. The summative evaluation was completed in March 2013. Data collection for the summative evaluation included the following components: 1) A participant survey by 83 participants at 5 of 8 facilities, a 20% return of spring participants. 2) An online survey was completed by 10 activities directors at participating facilities. 3) An interview with the education manager after the concert. Informal evaluation of other workshops and programs was based on staff observations and participant comments and feedback.","VocalEssence offered 4,410 students of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities the opportunity to participate in the arts. Participating schools were from the Twin Cities Metro and Greater Minnesota. A third of schools reported a less than 50% white student body, and about half reported a free and reduced lunch rate above 50%. Through WITNESS, students in grades 4-12 were inspired by the story of legendary singer Marian Anderson. Due to a restructure of staff resources, we presented only two of the planned four Young People's Concerts, which contributed to missing our goal of 6,000 students. However, the program was successful and included workshops and two performances.

VocalEssence reached 600 older adults in assisted living facilities through the Choral Pathways Program. Participants had the opportunity to attended workshops and a VocalEssence concert.

Outcomes: support artists, present programs across the visual, performing, film/video, and design arts, and advance interdisciplinary initiatives. Strengthen connections with the local and regional arts community through enhanced support and involvement of partners, artists, and programmers. To support the Walker's Strategic Plan, regular assessment remains critical to all program and business functions, and ensures broad-based understanding of artist and audience engagement amongst all staff. To quantify annual accomplishments beyond financial measures, the Walker documents key Measures of Success within the areas of artistic leadership and innovation, audience engagement, civic commitment, and stewardship. In the area of artistic leadership and innovation, the measures track artist engagements across the disciplines, Walker-organized exhibitions and presentations, publications, commissions, premieres, artist residencies, traveling programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and awards. These achievements are shared publicly each year through the Walker's online Annual Report. 2: The Walker is dedicated to advancing participation in the arts and active audience engagement. Outcomes: broaden, deepen, and diversify engagement with audiences. Using Google Analytics, Walker staff measures growth in mnartists.org membership, the number of active members, artworks uploaded or linked, visitors, page views and visit length, and visitors' specific interactions with the site features. Member and artist surveys are also conducted through email, community forums, and in person to hear how well mnartists.org serves them. The staff tracks how well mnartists.org spurs critical conservation about the arts in Minnesota and increased exposure for its artists via the press. For programs like Artist-Designed Mini Golf, performances, and film screenings, the Walker interviews the artists involved to gain their feedback, and conducts visitor surveys. It also tracks media attention, program attendance, and admissions/ticket income when applicable.","The Walker presented contemporary art and artists across the disciplines through nine exhibitions; more than eighty five performances; 170 film/video screenings; artist residency activities; and hundreds of artist talks, lectures, workshops, tours, and panel discussions. The Walker organized the first major United States survey of Mexico City-based artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and presented the first retrospective in fifteen years of work by American photographer Cindy Sherman. Four Walker-organized travelling exhibitions were viewed by more than 190,000 people in nine museums in seven cities in the United States. The Walker's Performing Arts program commissioned six new performances and presented three world premieres, including new work by Minneapolis-based BodyCartography Project. Seventeen Walker-commissioned performances toured to thirty nine venues in twenty cities in the United States, and eleven countries. The newly renovated Walker Cinema featured several regional premieres as well as the British Arrows Awards with record-breaking attendance. 2: The mnartists.org Web site served more than 21,840 artists and organizations statewide, hosted 933,050 user sessions, and connected more than 900 Minnesota artists with 60,000 people through partnerships and outreach programs.

Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to focus on re-imagining what it means to be a member (supporter, student, or instructor) of our organization. Goals: remain relevant today and in the future; study and develop a revitalized benefits program; use technology to reach and communicate with an expanded community; and create an ongoing channel of support to ensure sustained arts programming. Outcomes: report data numbers, proximity/location, and demographics. Membership activities respondents were most interested in following: 93-96% classes and workshops; 22-32% member meetings with speakers; 7-32% Fiber Fair; and 11-29% study groups. While classes and workshops and Fiber Fair were also mentioned, our strong education program and Fiber Fair will continue; a core curriculum review is being led by the Education Committee, and the annual member sale will take place at the Northrup King Building in 2013. To address the other major areas of interest the Membership Chair developed a timeline and objectives to meet the following needs: with the surveys capturing data related to skills/abilities for participation and more weekend activities, Weavers Guild has changed the name of its study groups to ‘interest groups’; developed a new group that will focus on building relationships with newer weavers or those not familiar with our activities. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to continue its strong educational programming. Goals: explore satellite locations and have a broader presence through the metro area; increase capacity and audience reach (students, individuals, artists) in all ages and skill levels in communities that normally do not have access to our unique art form and resources. Outcomes: increase accessibility and engage underserved populations through data tracking, resource development, and evaluation. Weavers Guild of Minnesota's Operations Manager has completed Associate Management Software training, imported old database information, and launched the organization's new Associate Management Software system and website. These initiatives also included planning for communications, such as the weekly online member newsletter, The Draft, and student and instructor course details. Members and broader audience can now register for classes and workshops online. Weavers Guild members also have the capacity to log-in to renew their membership, update contact information, or access the member directory. We formed an ad hoc task group to develop and plan the content for a members-only forum and section of the Web site. Highlights of this unique function will allow for more direct communication and a photo sharing feature, as well as a platform for individuals to request/discuss ride-sharing options or who is interested in forming a private group lesson. A Web cam can reach others remotely for meetings or informational sessions.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan of re-imagining what it means to be a member resulted in designing two online surveys and collecting data from newer and former members. We received responses from 15% of newer members and 10% from former members. The survey asked a series of questions related to joining/membership in the organization, interest(s), organization involvement/participation, interactions with social networking, communication, and proximity/location. When asked, Why did you join? respondents mentioned the following (highest to lowest): to learn about weaving, spinning and dyeing, to connect with other people interested in fiber [arts], class tuition discount, and [interest in] equipment. We learned that 55% of respondents registered for a class at the same time they signed up to be a member, while 38% took a class(es) before joining the organization.

This measures a 10% expansion of opportunities, however, evaluation also measures the numbers of artists actually engaged in said activities. As indicated above, we projected 95 artists would be served directly through professional opportunities, however 236 were actually engaged: 66 as teaching artists, 103 through exhibition opportunities, and 67 through open studio. Other evaluation includes observed engagement with artists attending open studios and then leading into artist discussion/critique activities. 2: To increase Minnesota citizens' understanding and appreciation of art in its many forms, through exhibition programs that showcase Minnesota artists and celebrate a diversity of artistic and cultural expressions and by bringing premier exhibitions into the northeast suburban area from various Minnesota collections, i.e., Minnesota Museum of Art and the Goldstein Museum. By partnering with Century College for the Northern Lights Exhibition, the show was seen by 20,000 students who pass through the public gallery every week. Art professors at the college took classes through the show to discuss the various works. Of the forty one artists accepted into the show, forty were from Minnesota. The Northern Lights artist reception included a presentation by the jury panel who spoke about the qualities they were looking for in judging the entries. This educational part of the program was attended by 110 people. It was observed that the audience was engaged in deeper understanding and appreciation by active questions during the presentation and participants stayed for the entire event.","To cultivate leadership in Minnesota artists through an expansion of artist-driven classes, events, and workshops; programs that teach professional development and offer professional opportunities, and development of a strong network of artists.

In this next season, we will produce Inuksuit, by John Luther Adams, to be performed by 9-99 percussionists in an outdoor space. Through this production, we will establish or deepen our connection with 66-99 drummers of varying ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds in the Twin Cities, and to a lesser extent, the state of Minnesota; and establish mutually beneficial partnerships with Minnesota Parks and Trails and Ellis Drums. Through presenting innovative new work of the type described above, we are hoping to reach audience members that would not typically attend a new music event, engage new sound artists and performers that do not typically create chamber music, and increase our visibility. At our performance at Caponi Art Park, roughly 230 audience members wandered about the outdoor performance art installation. Our audience included many families with small children (not at all our usual demographic) as well as senior citizens. Based on feedback elicited from Caponi Art Park staff, audience members expressed that they found the experience unusual but gratifying and would come back to experience other such performances in the future. The production enjoyed lively social media presence and garnered a Star Tribune article, satisfying our aim to increase visibility. 2: Increase the scope of Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival. With these festivals, we want to increase attendance by 10%; increase the media attention these festivals receive (two-four significant media articles or reviews); and establish at least two sponsorship relationships with local businesses. With our Early Music Festival, we would also like to increase pay for our participating performers to 10% above union scale and increase the number of professional and non-professional performers engaged through this festival (from four to eight). To evaluate our work regarding this outcome, we tracked audience numbers and noted sponsorships, media coverage, and performer compensation.","Our first outcome was to present innovative work that connects with members of our community in imaginative and personal ways. Specifically, we referred to presenting a production of Inuksuit, a work by John Luther Adams for 9-99 percussionists in an outdoor space. We didn't produce that production in our last year because we had an opportunity to create another such special work with the 2012-2013 McKnight Visiting Composer, Hugh Livingston. Because bringing this composer's work to the community was time-sensitive, we presented his work, Sound and Place, instead. Hugh Livingston is a sound artist who sculpts sound in outdoor spaces. Sound and Place is an evening-length work created for Zeitgeist and Caponi Art Park. The work premiered in July 2013 and took place over roughly an acre within the park land. Next season, Zeitgeist will present Inuksuit in August at Caponi Art Park. 2: With our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival, we were aiming to increase attendance by 10%, increase the media attention these festivals receive, and establish at least two sponsorship relationships with local businesses. This season, we increased attendance for our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret by 8% and our Early Music Festival by 13%. We developed sponsorship relationships with five businesses and our Early Music Festival was the subject of two articles (Minnesota Daily and Knight Arts). We had also hoped to increase compensation for our Early Music Festival performers and increase the number of performers involved in that festival. This year, however, this festival simply didn't need the participation of many performers, though the three that did participate were required to participate more extensively throughout the festival. We did increase compensation for extra performers beyond union scale.",,139105,"Other, local or private",153318,1085,"Craig Sinard, Heather Barringer, Pat O'Keefe, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Carleton Macy, Zachary Crockett, Brett Wartchow, Philip Blackburn",0.25,Zeitgeist,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Heather,Barringer,Zeitgeist,"275 E 4th St Ste 200","St Paul",MN,55101-1628,"(651) 755-1600 ",heather@zeitgeistnewmusic.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-290,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

Families served by Passport to Culture memberships will access the Duluth Children's Museum during general museum programming.","1. Demand for the Passport to Culture program was especially high in 2013. Many factors influenced this result, most notably the announcement of the effects of sequestration on head start families. 2. First Friday’s which is an intensive family event, open to the entire region, continues to build and draw people who have never visited the Museum. Third Thursday’s, new this year, is an added opportunity to offer intensive programming targeted on health, nutrition and gardening “Grow what you eat” concepts for example. By providing two programs that have a target and focus the effort to encourage attendance at other general museum events is paying off. We are able to effectively market to the key communities we seek to reach with more intensive program offerings. 3. Currently, with supplemental support from the Legacy funds, we are installing the hardware, software and doing the data conversion to track all attendance. Very soon we will be able to report attendance by membership, frequency of visits and the number of household members who attend the museum on daily and monthly counts.

The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. Fine Arts Programming will track ticket sales and participation numbers at residency events as well as survey the public performance audience to find out if this performance attracted new audiences to a World Music performance as anticipated and if this style of World Music was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of the genre.","One need identified in the application was that this project could help introduce new audiences to World Music, or whether it would successfully change attitudes and/or perceptions of the genre. Survey results indicate that 74% of the audience attended any kind of Middle Eastern music performance 0-5 times before. More importantly, 64% of the audience indicated that this performance changed their understanding or perspective on Middle Eastern Music. Residency participants walked away with new ways of approaching introducing music, and more specifically, world music to their constituents. The work in music bridging cultures was also an important outcome in the creative process. Patrons at the public performance were asked to complete surveys to find out if this project attracted new audiences to world music performances or if this project changed perceptions of Middle Eastern music. Evaluation forms were distributed to residency facilitators. Participation numbers were tracked for each residency event and the public performance.",,16547,"Other, local or private",21547,,"John Albert, Dana Badgerow, Rebecca Bergner Coborn, Beth Dinndorf, Judith Koll Healey, Annette Hendrick, Harvey Jewett, Michelle Bauerly Kopel, George Martin, Kathleen Mock, Lynn Newman, Donald Pyatt, Ingrid Anderson, Scott Blattner, Iris Cornelius, Terry Dolan, James Graves, Kathy Kurvers Henderson, Mary Catherine Holicky, Laura Kelly Lovdahl, Babara Melsen, Tom Mohr, Judy Poferl, Shari Lamecker Rogalski",,"College of Saint Benedict AKA College of Saint Benedict Fine Arts Programming","Public College/University","Simon Shaheen",,"Simon Shaheen is an Arab musician, performer, and composer.

The performances will be primarily musical, but the event will incorporate instrumental music from local artists as well as elements of movement, dance, and dramatic performance. Outcomes: 1. To create arts education and arts performance opportunities for grades K-12. For younger students in grades K-5, this will encompass the following additional goals: 2. Students will learn about the Renaissance era, the historical period, and the key performers and composers who were alive at this time, and what other forms of art and entertainment from this era were like. 3. Students will be introduced to how to recognize and perform Renaissance-era music. For older choirs, grades 6-12, the following outcomes are desired: 4. That students understand teamwork and team dynamics by performing musical repertoire, including traditional and period pieces that require exact listening and harmonizing. 5. For choir groups to gain further understanding of singing and style by performing a variety of musical selections that will expand their knowledge of proper singing techniques, including how different musical styles are approached differently from a technical perspective. 6. That older students gain further understanding of musical harmony and music theory through the practice and performance of multi-part musical selections for this project. This requires refinement of listening skills to discern proper balance of parts. 7. Another outcome for all ages is that students realize the fulfillment of their efforts and gain enjoyment through presenting their music and their prepared pieces for their families, friends, and members of the community. Other outcomes for community, audience: To create and offer to the community an interactive audience and performer experience--to move beyond the passive viewing experience of a traditional choral concert and bring a more interactive level of artistic appreciation to the audience members and to the performers.Outcome 1: This outcome is achieved by the weekly training schedule for each choral group, and by the culminating performance opportunity on December 15, 2012. Younger choirs enjoy weekly class time of approximately 1 hour per week, plus additional artistic class time to prepare props and decor for the coming performance. The K-5 choirs have a minimum of 12 hours of class time, not including the prop preparatory times. They also have up to six hours of additional rehearsal time as needed as the Renaissance Event approaches. The older choirs, grades 6-12 have approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per week of class time during the 12 weeks in preparation for this project, with a possible extra 6 to 8 hours of extra rehearsal schedule on the week of the performance. Outcome 2: Evaluation for outcome 2, for K-5 choirs will be done informally, by asking questions about what they have learned and asking them to share information about the Renaissance period that they remember talking about during classes and rehearsals. The director will play some listening examples of other Renaissance music and ask students questions to assess their knowledge. Outcome 3: Assessment of stylistic details and understanding will be done during rehearsals and during the performances to determine how well the singers have understood those stylistic concepts. Outcome 4: For older choirs, this outcome is assessed by the directors by dialogue with students, by musical exactness and audience response during performances. Outcome 5: the assessment of choirs is made by the directors on the basis of how much improvement there is in their singing and interpretation during the rehearsal and performance periods. Outcome 6. The evaluation of this outcome is made by the directors by constant verbal feedback and critique during rehearsals. Outcome 7. This assessment comes through the process and enjoyment of performing, and the beneficial feedback of audience and guest. Outcome 8: The evaluation of our interactive artistic experience comes through the reaction of our families, community members, and guests, as well as assessment of the performers and students as to the success of the event.","Command Performance Choirs students, ages K-12 mastered and presented musical and dramatic material in a series of performances during a day-long Renaissance themed event.

Students will have opportunity to participate in group choral, duet, solo, and ensemble performances, as they desire and are able.Command Performance will primarily evaluate using the following means: community attendance will be one primary factor in the overall success of this event. Since there will be no ticket sales or entry fee, crowd numbers will be estimated and assessed visually during the event. Overall success in producing and organizing the event will be evaluated by meetings and/or communication with co-sponsors during preparation, production, and after completion of this event, and discussion and evaluation by the board and staff.

An additional 20 people, including students and adults, would be recruited in either crew or production volunteer positions. The cast would include 5-10 first time theater performers, either students or adults. A new mentorship program would be established where students learn various crew positions from experienced adults. At least 2 educational opportunities for students to serve in crew, non-paid positions would offered. Ticket sales would increase from past musical productions by 25%. Of that 25% ticket sale increase, 25% would be first time theater patrons. Audience satisfaction would be evaluated by distributing simple 3 question surveys when patrons purchased student/senior or adult tickets at the door. A survey return rate of 80% would be considered successful. Of the 80% of returned surveys, 80% of those would rate their experience as favorable.

The audition process includes individuals completing audition forms that clearly ask for any prior theater experience. Those audition forms are collected by the artistic director prior to to auditioning. They would be counted to determine the total number of people that auditioned. The number of individuals who auditioned that had no prior theater experience would also be tallied. The new mentorship program for student crew members would be advertised on audition posters posted locally and in surrounding communities, in advertising in local publications, on the Kimball Community Playhouse website and on Facebook. Copies could be the new student crew mentorship program being advertised could be submitted for validation. The number of students would be recorded and those students could be asked to fill out a small form asking about the positive outcomes of their experience. Ticket sales from the past 5 Kimball Community Playhouse musical theater productions could be tallied and an average determined. Ticket sales from Footloose would then be compared to the average for the last 5 years and the increase could be ascertained. A survey would be handed out to individuals purchasing or receiving student/senior or adult tickets at the door when tickets are purchased. That survey would be extremely simple and would contain 3 questions: 1) Have you ever attended a theatrical production before; 2) Would you rate this Kimball Community Playhouse production of Footloose as favorable, unfavorable or no opinion 3) Would you recommend this production to a friend or family member. There would also be a spot for comments. This survey would accomplish several things. It would allow Kimball Community Playhouse to determine the approximate number of first time theater patrons. The number of surveys collected could be counted and compared to the number of student/senior or adult tickets sold. The number of surveys collected that indicated they would consider the production as favorable would also be tallied. A survey response of on opinion would not be counted. New Kimball Community Playhouse Board Members recruited as a result of a positive experience with Footloose could be asked to fill out a small form indicating why they decided to join the Kimball Community Playhouse Board of Directors. The addition of a new Kimball Community Playhouse Board Member after the production could be verified by providing a production playbill that lists current board members and the new board member form. Likewise, the production playbill would also list current donors. Documentation could be provided after the production that indicated when new donors made their contribution.","We had 29 people audition for roles and were able to cast all 29. Our goal was 40, however six of them were first time theater performers which met our goal of introducing over five. An additional six had never done a production outside of a school performance. This successful outcome was measured by counting and reviewing audition forms. We exceeded our goal of mentoring two students in crew positions by involving four students in crew positions that were new to them. We were also able to involve four adults in crew positions that were unfamiliar to them. The effectiveness of these educational opportunities were evaluated through personal interviews and feedback. In additional, information regarding the availability of crew mentorship opportunities was added to the Kimball Community Playhouse website. Kimball Community Playhouse exceeded its goal of increasing ticket sales by 25% from recent productions, by increasing ticket sales by approximately 40%. Ticket sales were greater than they have been in 6 years and total ticket sales were 437 for three performances. For the last 5 years, ticket sales for three performances have averaged 315. To determine the level of the increase, tickets sales from performances from the last 5 years were tallied and averaged, then compared to the most recent production.

Of those 25%, we expect most of those to be high school students and people from the Saint Cloud area that have sung in a Messiah Chorus at a previous time in their lives. We expect that this may be one of the few times that regional high school students will be able to participate in this classic work during their high school lives. We expect 30 or more singers – gathered from the 80+ singers who took part in the Messiah concerts of 2006 and 2007 under the direction of Lee Nelson and performed at the Paramount – to again take the stage and join Kantorei in the choruses. We expect these 30 singers to be fine singers with previous experience, but, currently, have no outlet to sing with a group because they cannot commit to a year of rehearsals and concerts. Thus, they end up not singing at all. We expect the audience to gain new knowledge of the evolution of this professional singing group that has its roots in Saint Cloud 25 years ago, and continues today as one of Minnesota’s top vocal performing groups.1) Attendance and box office records. 2) Response from the high schools indicating the number of students that will be participating in the sing-along. 3) All of the community participants in the on-stage chorus (those who have sung previously and will be joining Kantorei onstage for the second half of the concert) will be asked to answer 3 questions regarding the impact of their participation. 4) All of the ticket purchasers for whom we have emails will be asked via email to answer a few short questions regarding the impact of this first-ever sing-along. 5) An optional, short survey will be included in all of the programs that are handed out to attendees. This survey is included in all of the Local Roots Series Concerts. 6) We will be ordering scores for those who wish to participate in the sing-along but don’t have a score.

19842,"Project Grant - Round 2",2013,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The Memorial Day Concert provides tribute to local veterans and their families. While we do not issue surveys for that concert, we sometimes get feedback on later surveys related to the Memorial Day events. Similarly, the Fourth of July concert provides a locus for people throughout Central Minnesota to congregate and celebrate. The Barden Park Concert series continues a form of Americana that our surveys claim exists in few other places. We survey the Barden Park audiences, and comments from the Fall Paramount Concert surveys this year also reflected civic pride and anticipation of the audience to next summer's concerts. We do not survey the audience at the Sauk Centre concert since we are invited to play there, but the demographics of that audience is always similar to those at Barden Park. Based on the results of last summer's surveys, we expect to again see results that support the preferences of taxpayers when the Legacy Grant was created by voters on November 4, 2008: 1. As always for summer concerts, the patrons come with sometimes three generations within the family, and often bring visitors. It is safe to assume that the market area for Saint Cloud Municipal Band Summer Concert Series does not extend to Germany; Anchorage, Alaska; Eugene, Oregon; Hanford, California, and San Antonio, Texas, but people in the audience reported these as their residential zip codes. To the extent that their hosts took them to Barden Park for an evening rather than to an event in the Twin Cities, if they also went to eat, or even bought a Root Beer Float at the table, they contributed a little to the local economy as well. Thus we provide an event that people of many ages, races and ethnicities enjoy with family and friends. 2. We play a variety of music that the majority of our audience prefers, but we also try some types of tunes that just one person suggested. Those with limited exposure to specific types of music will have the opportunity to broaden their interests. 3. We also provide commentary on the pieces we play, thus offering a bit of musicology to the audience. 4. We intend to continue entertaining our audience, and with surveys keep a pulse as to their preferences and how well we are doing.We tried a few photographs last time. I'm not sure they worked well, but we will try these again. The Fourth of July Concert is not a good venue for surveys as people are spread out in front and in back of us and on the other side of the river not only enjoying the music but also waiting to watch fireworks. However, we do get comments about the July 4th Concert on Barden Park and Paramount surveys. We will again survey the Barden Park audience, possibly not as often as last summer. Even though we tried different questions on each survey, some people said they filled out enough surveys and just wanted to listen to the music. Nevertheless, the survey demographics did not change from one week to the next, and in general, comments were consistent. In addition, individuals in the audience often chat with band members after the concert--either coming to the show mobile directly after we finished or staying to chat after we've packed up. Often the best feedback is from the informal chats, and we ask band members to share these qualitative evaluations with the rest of the band so we can share them with the granting agencies.","Although many of the musicians chatted with the audience after the concerts, we used surveys to measure whether we met our goals and those in line with the Legacy Grant. Survey results were positive. Comments included: Can you announce these performances Wednesday evening at Lake George? I truly think people don't know about this. (I looked in the newspaper but didn't see it. I heard tonight it was in ""Up Next.""; A great concert!; Brett Krohn does excellent job of introducing the music.

Residency participants will also have a greater sense of what constitutes modern dance through the education components of Casebolt and Smith's outreach. Fine Arts Programming anticipates that area youth who participate in residencies will have a better appreciation for dance through hands-on interactions with the ensemble. Fine Arts Programming staff members expect that these activities will also strengthen relationships with our residency partners, which in turn will facilitate future partnerships.Fine Arts Programming will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the residency activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each different demographic. These will not be surveys so much as narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. When we have partnered in the past, many times, facilitators ask their participants to journal about their experiences; these reflections have provided a wealth of information on the impact of arts activities. Fine Arts Programming will ask Boys and Girls Club to do the same for this residency. We will ask for this kind of feedback from College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University faculty whose classes take part in workshops with Casebolt and Smith, as well as any groups from District 742, and the Dancing with Many Voices dance ensemble. The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. Fine Arts Programming will track ticket sales and participation numbers at residency events as well as survey the public performance audience to find out if this performance attracted new audiences to a contemporary dance performance as anticipated and if this style of dance was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of modern dance.","One need identified in the application was that this project could help introduce new audiences to modern and contemporary dance. Survey results indicate that 49% of the audience attended any kind of live dance performance 0-5 times before. More importantly, 77% of the audience indicated that this performance changed their understanding or perspective on modern dance. Residency participants walked away with new ways of approaching dance and improvisation. The work in partnering and teamwork was also an important outcome in the creative process.

19860,"Project Grant - Round 2",2013,2282,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education","We acknowledge that while we can’t measure some things, we can measure the awareness created. For example: following this project, one of the ways we can measure the outcome is through the schools, via our singers – has their knowledge and attitude changed regarding their peers who may struggle daily? Have our singers created enough awareness amongst themselves that they can recognize when someone is struggling or needing help? How giving are they, and has preparing for this concert/project taught them to do more volunteer work and/or service in their own communities? We want our singers to know that not everyone lives in a safe environment and that through positive change, they can make a difference. We expect that following this project, many of the members of the Youth Chorale will see their peers differently, and we anticipate that they will request more service-learning concerts in the future. Our Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers will go into their communities with more knowledge and a better grasp of other social issues, volunteering, having a new attitude, being accepting of others, and having a better understanding of how the world works today. At the end of the concert, we can measure the reaction of the audience – a standing ovation and knowing that they will leave the concert hall with a sense of pride for the next generation of caring, responsible individuals. We will also implement a survey to measure their individual feedback. Finally, we can measure the number of singers participating, audience attendance, and ticket sales.One of the ways to evaluate is simply through observation – verbal audience reaction, verbal feedback from choir families, ticket sales, and support from the community. Following the concert, and in the weeks to come, the feedback from our choir families and the community will help us determine if our goals were successful, or if anything different needs to be done in preparation for the next time we collaborate with another arts organization. Another way to evaluate is that following the concert, singers will then take the skills they learned from rehearsals and performing back to their respective classrooms, places of worship, or community groups. The opportunity for young people to interact with other adult singers who love to sing, and the sustenance and further development of a cultural, musical, community are all benefits we expect to achieve from this project. This season, the Youth Chorale organization will be implementing a concert survey that our audience members can fill out online. We are looking forward to the feedback, but also to help fine-tune our offerings to the community. We would also like to survey our singers and get their feedback on the personal impact of doing a concert that deals with the struggles and, ultimately, the future of youth.","This project touched our organization and singers on so many levels. Preparations for this concert included learning music that dealt with overcoming struggles and rising up/looking forward to a brighter tomorrow, as well as collaborating with an adult choir from the Twin Cities area. Before and during the actual project/concert, statistics were given on the number of homeless youth in the community, how many were helped in 2012, as well as in the broader state of Minnesota. As a result of this collaboration, our singers have a better grasp of social issues in their communities and an understanding that not everyone lives in a safe environment. They have committed themselves to creating more positive change in their schools and among their peers. Many of our singers and staff commented that it made them realize how fortunate their family is compared to other individuals whose existence is a constant struggle, and made them appreciate their life more. Within the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization, as well as our audience, this project created more awareness of youth homelessness and struggles in the community and beyond. We anticipated that this project would impact our young singers, but we were not prepared for the effect that it would have on them. As a result, they have requested to do more service-learning projects and concerts. We used several evaluation methods to measure the outcomes listed above, such as verbal audience reaction, verbal feedback from choir families, audience attendance and ticket sales, and support from the community; but the most effective were the audience and singer surveys that we conducted. These provided valuable insight on the emotional aspect of this project, but also gave Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota an inside look at how deeply our singers felt after the project completed. For many, the service-learning aspect made the topic of youth homelessness more “real” to them.

Positive survey feedback is another factor in determining the success of the event. We will be looking for a favorable audience reaction – verbal and non-verbal (e.g. standing ovation). One more indication of success is increased activity on our social media profiles.Counting ticket sales is one of the evaluation methods that we will use to determine if our marketing and promotional materials were effective. An observed increase in audience size over last year would indicate success. Surveys will be used to determine how we can serve our audiences better at this and future concerts. A paper survey will be inserted into each Youth Sing Out concert program, while the online survey will appear as a link in the program, along with the website address and a QR Code for those patrons who use smartphones. Both the paper and online results will be tabulated into a spreadsheet and read amongst the staff of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and its Board of Directors. We will be looking for 90% of 4’s and 5’s (5 = Excellent) on the feedback responses and roughly 10% (or more) total response from our audience. Audience reactions will be observed during and after the concert and in the weeks to come, new verbal reactions will help us determine whether anything different needs to be done in preparation for next year’s collaborative concert. A non-verbal standing ovation at the close of the concert will signify favorable audience reaction. An increase in activity on our social media profiles will point to the success of the event and to the awareness of the choir(s) in general. We will count the number of Facebook “likes” and Twitter “follows” on our sites. We anticipate over 400 views post-concert on our Facebook page, and all post-concert status update replies will be read.","The audience size for Youth Sing Out this year was fairly comparable to last year’s audience. We were hoping for greater numbers, seeing as the venue was increasingly larger, but the number of tickets sold was fairly close to last year. We are, however, seeing growth as we continue to present this concert, so we consider that a success. This year, we opted to do a survey to determine how we can serve our audiences better at this and future concerts. Each survey was inserted into the concert program and a public verbal announcement was made before the start of the concert which also directed patrons with smartphones to scan the QR code on the back of the program and be taken directly to the website if that is how they preferred to fill out the survey. The outcome of the survey was exactly what we were hoping for – 4’s and 5’s (Excellent). Positive survey feedback demonstrates not only a successful concert, but it means that Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is meeting a need in the community with the Youth Sing Out concert. Audience reactions were observed during and following the concert. A standing ovation after the closing song indicated that this concert was met with favor and the Central Minnesota community was impressed with the caliber of singing from its local youth. We saw an increase in the number of “likes” on the Youth Chorale Facebook page, as well as an increase in the number of people who saw our posts leading up to the concert, the day of, as well as the day after.

Outcome: We were able to perform 11 performances including a special performance for Saint Andrews Elementary during the morning. Evaluation: Met performance goals by offering 10 public performances and 1 special performance for Saint Andrews Elementary. Goal 3: the performances will bring family friendly artistic benefit, oriented toward youth and comparable to professional metro area theatre programming, at an affordable cost to audience members. Outcome: We were able to provide a family friendly production that benefited the youth involved with an artistic production that was comparable to any regional theatre and metro youth theatre programs. Evaluation: We had over 3,000 audience members which is evidence of the quality and the affordability of this production. Goal 4: Rehearsals and extensive training are provided to enhance performance experience. Outcome: Youth participating in the production were introduced, taught, and experienced all aspects of the performance of a major theatre production including singing, choreography, blocking, line delivery, timing, and stage movement. In addition, some of the older students were introduced more advanced topics such as set design/building, lighting, sound, props, and stage management. Evaluation: This youth in this production were able to increase their overall knowledge in producing a major theatrical production.

20410,"Public Art Grant",2013,17300,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","The entrance gateway and plaza in the Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center has an attractive plaza with a beautiful and enticing entry feature with creative, informative signage that invites all to enter and interact with nature. Original artwork piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest with an inviting natural area accessible to users of all abilities. There are new art features that encourage the public, especially children, to interact with nature while using or enjoying the artwork. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, low-maintenance public art with scale, theme, and materials appropriate for use by young children year-round in a public setting. Finally, the artwork's design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the unique natural setting.Measures of success for this project will include the following: as the project is implemented, we will track expenses compared to budget and the delivery timeline plus completion of all elements as defined by the contract (or as renegotiated to accommodate changing conditions). A report comparing budget to actual will enable us to measure project cost, and we can easily note whether work is completed within the agreed upon time frame. Finally, our own experiences will enable us to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Currently the Nature Explore Center is used for early childhood classes, programs, and events offered throughout the year. Although the area is open to the public, it attracts relatively few visitors beyond those involved in Handke's Early Childhood and Family programs and the surrounding neighborhood. We expect many more visitors once we have attractive, effective signage, a clearly defined entrance area, and art that entices the eye as well as the feet to enter. We will gauge and track the increase in use of the Nature Explore Center and historic Handke site, both for early childhood and other school programs, as well as general public use. Both observation and visitor comment sheets will be used to collect this information. We intend to define this unique public art as recognizable in our area as the cherry-and-spoon piece is for the Walker Art Center. When the community begins to talk about going to “the park with the jumping deer” or “the place with the heron archway,” we will know we have succeeded. Other indicators will be news coverage, people stopping to take photographs, and inquiries from other school districts, cities, and Nature Explore projects. Some of the measures will include noting visitor/community comments, installing a public comment kiosk at the site providing public users the chance to complete an evaluation/comment card at any hour of the day beyond our formal program uses, collecting news articles/reports, and logging inquiries received. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of public art. We will solicit written evaluative comments as a part of our routine program evaluation at the end of every class and note student reactions in the school year following the art installation. The pieces planned for our project must withstand weather and human activity with only nominal effort and expense for maintenance. We will measure these results through maintenance records/expenses and safety issue logs.","Outcomes: 1. Entrance gateway, plaza and artwork installed. Result: Original artwork that piques the imagination and attracts ongoing interest has been installed as the entry feature to the Nature Explore Center. The plaza, a rock sit wall, and additional signage will be installed after renovations to the north wing of the Handke Center are completed, estimated completion fall 2014. Until then the area has a layer of mulch and simulated sit wall using bales. 2. The gateway and plaza is safe, durable, and low-maintenance. The theme and scale is appropriate for young children and also appeals to adults and older children. It has year round appeal and use. Result: The outcome was achieved. 3. The artwork’s design and theme unifies and contributes to the integrity of the area, blending the historic building and location with the natural setting. Result: The installation of the artwork does exactly what we set out to do. It is stunning. Measures of success: 1. We will track expenses and completion timeline. Result: The project finished on time and within the budget. 2. Use own experiences to assess the level of customer service and satisfaction provided by the artist. Result: Classes, weekdays, evenings and weekends use the Nature Explore Center regularly. The local paper provided excellent coverage of the installation and the artist with features in at least three issues of the paper. It also has been publicized in the Community Education Brochure, on the district website, through numerous e-mails, district Staff Happenings page and through an Independent School District 728 YouTube video. People drive by to view the art, they stop and take pictures and they visit the Nature Explore Center. Many positive comments have been shared about the creativity of the artist and the beauty the installation has added. While the installation was just completed in the fall, we feel the full impact of the artwork is yet to be realized. In the next year we plan to add the plaza, more signage, a place for comments. 3. Opportunities to engage students and their parents will increase dramatically with the addition of the public art. Result: We intend to continue to offer events and activities for public at the site and know the usage will only continue to grow. It has only been a few months since the installation, a successful Grand Opening was held with many community members and families participating. A Not So Scary Halloween event was held and there have been regular events on the Nature Explore Center and nearly daily use by classes. The Friends of Sherburne Wildlife Refuge received a grant to install a full-sized replica of an Eagle’s Nest on the Nature Explore Center. Part of this installation includes cross promotion of the Nature Explore Center at the Sherburne Wildlife Refuge and vice versa. We anticipate that will increase our audience and the awareness of the Nature Explore Center and the Gateway. 4. Nominal effort and expense will be required for long-term maintenance of the installation. Result: We will keep records of maintenance needed. The artwork was installed so that the archway and deer could be removed during the building renovations and then reinstalled when the remodel is completed. Engineers, architects, district Manager of Building and Grounds and the district Director of Community Engagement all worked with the artist on this plan. All kept in mind the need to protect the artwork and reinstall it intact.",,21550,"Other, local or private",38850,11200,"Jane Bunting, Holly Thompson, Tony Walker, Shane Steinbrecher, Sue Farber, Jolene Jorgensen, Dan Hunt",,"Elk River Community Education","K-12 Education","Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center Gateway and Plaza",,"The Elk River Community Education Nature Explore Center in Elk River was established as a place for children to interact and learn from nature and art.

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work. The St. Croix Action Team, consisting of multiple partnerships throughout the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River Basin, worked diligently throughout the life of the project to produce a strategic prioritization of resources based on water quality, habitat, and recreation. The final products include:Identification of priority subwatersheds for resource management objectives in the St. Croix Basin (MN side) based on multiple benefits through an integrative modeling application.A protocol to assist in identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) within priority subwatersheds.An expansive list of 188 BMP prescriptions for Chisago, Kanabec and Washington counties for water quality protection and habitat restoration.A cost benefit analysis of each practice to help determine the most cost effective management options for the benefit received from the practice.Six BMPs on the ground located in priority areas that demonstrate the use of an effective protocol and cost benefit analysis for resource protection and management.This project was vital to create a well-coordinated procedure that identified areas of greatest resource concern and strategic, most cost-effective measures of protecting those resources.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION As a part of this project, Chisago, Kanabec, and Washington counties each constructed a master list of priority conservation activities to use in their work plans, build future funding strategies, and perform outreach activities to landowners for implementation. Project information has been shared with additional Basin partners, including those across the river on the Wisconsin side, through the annual St. Croix Basin Conference, Basin Team meetings, and SCRA newsletters and website.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Deb,Ryun,"St Croix River Association","119 N Washington St","St Croix Falls",MN,54024,"(715) 483-3300",debryun@scramail.com,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/saint-croix-basin-conservation-planning-and-protection,,,,

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work. The St. Croix Action Team, consisting of multiple partnerships throughout the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River Basin, worked diligently throughout the life of the project to produce a strategic prioritization of resources based on water quality, habitat, and recreation. The final products include:Identification of priority subwatersheds for resource management objectives in the St. Croix Basin (MN side) based on multiple benefits through an integrative modeling application.A protocol to assist in identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) within priority subwatersheds.An expansive list of 188 BMP prescriptions for Chisago, Kanabec and Washington counties for water quality protection and habitat restoration.A cost benefit analysis of each practice to help determine the most cost effective management options for the benefit received from the practice.Six BMPs on the ground located in priority areas that demonstrate the use of an effective protocol and cost benefit analysis for resource protection and management.This project was vital to create a well-coordinated procedure that identified areas of greatest resource concern and strategic, most cost-effective measures of protecting those resources.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION As a part of this project, Chisago, Kanabec, and Washington counties each constructed a master list of priority conservation activities to use in their work plans, build future funding strategies, and perform outreach activities to landowners for implementation. Project information has been shared with additional Basin partners, including those across the river on the Wisconsin side, through the annual St. Croix Basin Conference, Basin Team meetings, and SCRA newsletters and website.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Deb,Ryun,"St Croix River Association","119 N Washington St","St Croix Falls",MN,54024,"(715) 483-3300",debryun@scramail.com,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Carlton, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, Washington",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/saint-croix-basin-conservation-planning-and-protection,,,,

However the groundwater springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use and increased groundwater withdrawals for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed them in order to understand how these springsheds might be affected by development and increased water use and determine what can be done to protect and restore their water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Trout streams depend on a steady supply of clean, cold water which comes from groundwater springs. These trout springs are under increasing pressure from changing land use, climate change, and groundwater withdrawals for domestic use, mining, agriculture, and energy production. Delineation of the recharge areas or springsheds of trout springs using dye tracing is a necessary first step in the conservation and protection of the trout stream coldwater supplies. This project focused on delineating groundwater springsheds both in the Galena Group limestone karst areas of Fillmore and Olmsted counties, where this work has been done for over 30 years, and in the Cambrian St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group bedrock across southeast Minnesota. Prior to this project, no springsheds had been delineated in the St. Lawrence or Tunnel City bedrock units. We demonstrated that springs discharging from these units receive surface water recharge from sinking streams and that this recharge moves hundreds of feet per day through the bedrock. This has rewritten our understanding of the hydrology of southeast Minnesota and has demonstrated that these springs, which we formerly believed to be well-protected from land surface activities, are much more vulnerable than we previously realized. Overall, during this project we mapped 41 groundwater springsheds (delineated by dye tracing) and 54 surface water springsheds (surface watersheds sending water to a point where it sinks underground into a groundwater springshed). Twelve of the groundwater springsheds and sixteen of the surface water springsheds are in the St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group. The groundwater springshed delineated areas total 50,708 acres and the surface water delineated areas total 124,447 acres. Prior to this project there was a total of 54,091 acres of both springshed types delineated. Springsheds were delineated in Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona counties. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information from this project was widely disseminated. A map of the delineated springsheds and a document on Spring Assessment Protocols were produced and submitted to the LCCMR and will be published by the Minnesota Geological Survey. The springshed coverage is being used by state and local governments to target areas for conservation efforts and for Clean Water Fund project ranking. The springshed mapping will be used by the DNR for Silica Sand Mining Trout Stream Setback permitting and in Water Appropriation permit review. Project information was presented to numerous groups including the SE MN Water Resources Board, Root River Technical Advisor Group, Fillmore County Local Water Planning committee, Southeast Minnesota County and State Feedlot officers, Midwest Federal Agency Senior Managers, and at Silica Sand mining forums in Red Wing, Lewiston, La Crescent, and Winona.

Studies suggested that small areas of the landscape contribute disproportionately to nonpoint source pollution. So implementation of conservation projects that focus on those areas will maximize water quality benefits and ensure efficient use of resources. Using tools like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and other Geographic Information System (GIS) data sets, candidate sites were identified and ranked as critical areas of soil erosion and surface runoff in the watershed. In addition, in-field assessment techniques were developed and documented to further evaluate these source locations. By the conclusion of the project a number of different methods to determine priorities of those critical areas were identified by local partners. They felt that using only one method to rank and sort the sites was not a good use of the dataset. The partners wanted to be able to sort and parse the results in a number of different ways according to both resource issues and impairments present. It was not always going to be similar for each sub-watershed. In the end the final selection of sites then became approximately 205 sites with resource attribution. This would allow a number of different ways of sorting and prioritizing. By combining the identified sites and in-field assessment techniques a set of protocols were established to determine the most appropriate BMPs needed to restore the sites to sustainable levels. A training session was provided to SWCD and County Staff's. A Digital Terrain Analysis Manual was published and is currently posted on the Zumbro Watershed Partnership website. This will be a guide to local partners in the watershed that along with the provided data sets, allows them to create their own priority sites data. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The datasets were used to identify priority sub watersheds within the Zumbro. These sub watersheds were prioritized in the recently revised Zumbro Watershed Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources issued a request for information for the Targeted Watershed Demonstration Grant. This project was instrumental in identifying and defining the priority sub-watersheds that contained the most critical sites. In addition the in-field assessment and the BMP matrix allowed us to identify the most appropriate BMPs necessary to treat the sites. With BMPs identified, typical cost helped estimate project cost and the amount and type of public assistance needed at $1.6 M. The type and quality of the data from this project application also helped secure additional commitments from USDA NRCS for $750,000 in EQIP funding.

Studies suggested that small areas of the landscape contribute disproportionately to nonpoint source pollution. So implementation of conservation projects that focus on those areas will maximize water quality benefits and ensure efficient use of resources. Using tools like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and other Geographic Information System (GIS) data sets, candidate sites were identified and ranked as critical areas of soil erosion and surface runoff in the watershed. In addition, in-field assessment techniques were developed and documented to further evaluate these source locations. By the conclusion of the project a number of different methods to determine priorities of those critical areas were identified by local partners. They felt that using only one method to rank and sort the sites was not a good use of the dataset. The partners wanted to be able to sort and parse the results in a number of different ways according to both resource issues and impairments present. It was not always going to be similar for each sub-watershed. In the end the final selection of sites then became approximately 205 sites with resource attribution. This would allow a number of different ways of sorting and prioritizing. By combining the identified sites and in-field assessment techniques a set of protocols were established to determine the most appropriate BMPs needed to restore the sites to sustainable levels. A training session was provided to SWCD and County Staff's. A Digital Terrain Analysis Manual was published and is currently posted on the Zumbro Watershed Partnership website. This will be a guide to local partners in the watershed that along with the provided data sets, allows them to create their own priority sites data. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The datasets were used to identify priority sub watersheds within the Zumbro. These sub watersheds were prioritized in the recently revised Zumbro Watershed Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources issued a request for information for the Targeted Watershed Demonstration Grant. This project was instrumental in identifying and defining the priority sub-watersheds that contained the most critical sites. In addition the in-field assessment and the BMP matrix allowed us to identify the most appropriate BMPs necessary to treat the sites. With BMPs identified, typical cost helped estimate project cost and the amount and type of public assistance needed at $1.6 M. The type and quality of the data from this project application also helped secure additional commitments from USDA NRCS for $750,000 in EQIP funding.
