The two largest types of enhancement were 112 woody removal projects totaling 10,160 acres and 134 prescribed burns totaling 10,082 acres. Additionally, we seeded 30 sites totaling 1386 acres, put in infrastructure for conservation grazing of 236 acres on 3 sites, conducted 3 oak savanna enhancements totaling 42 acres, and treated 47 acres of invasive species on 2 sites.",,"Final ReportThis was a shared appropriation between the Fish & Wildlife (FAW) and the Ecological & Water Resources (EWR) Divisions within the DNR.  Both Divisions requested priority grassland projects from field staff across the state.  When this appropriation was funded, the Prairie Plan and other large-scale prairie-focused strategic plans were still in their infancy.  Parcels on the initial parcel list included in the funding request were developed primarily using priorities developed at the regional and areas levels by Area Wildlife Managers and SNA field staff. The parcel list changed substantially from the time of the request as the project went on because of several factors, including: 1) one of the core strengths of the Roving Crew is their flexibility to move quickly on a priority habitat enhancement opportunity, and this often meant addressing parcels that met the appropriation’s purpose, but not on the parcel list; 2) given the nature and purpose of the Roving Crew, parcels/projects done by them were not on the original list, but were added upon completion; and 3) site condition and weather help determine whether we can work on a given project on a given day, and we do our best to find alternate parcels of similar value/priority, even if not on the original parcel list, to maximize efficiency.  Especially when it comes to weather issues (usually ‘too wet’), often large areas affected.  The flexibility of the Roving Crew allowed them to do same enhancement work, but on WMAs in nearby counties not as affected by the weather. For all these reasons, we added a number of sites in counties not originally included in the parcel list.  Although it can make reporting challenging, we feel this dynamic flexibility is one of the strengths of our Roving Crews and our contracting process.  While many appropriations highlight specific projects, “what” they did, we feel the strength of this appropriation is in the cumulative effect of many small projects and “how” we did it.  Specifically, we did a lot of this work by developing the Region 4 (Southern) DNR Roving Crew.  This crew is located at Lac Qui Parle.  As part of developing a new crew, office and shop space had to be developed, crews hired, and those crews needed to be equipped.  That was followed by a steep learning curve as the crew coalesced and began working on projects.  These crews only do habitat work.  We try to minimize the time spent with paperwork, office work, budgets, etc, so that they can fully devote their time to ‘boots on the ground’ habitat enhancement projects.  At the same time, there were some inclement weather patterns during these years that limited the activities of the crews during some periods.  Even given those unavoidable issues, the appropriation exceeded its target acres.  It is our assessment that these initial years are the slowest and therefore least productive.  This crew, as well as the other two, are all functioning as highly efficient teams.  The rest of the work was done with contractors, which stimulates local rural economies.  According to the research literature, we actually underestimating the acres enhanced, especially as it relates to woody removal projects.  Numerous studies show it’s not just the area ‘under the trees’ that impact grassland birds, but the area around the woody vegetation.  Some species simply won’t nest near woody cover and other studies show high nest predation (gamebird) or brood parasitism (songbirds) rates near woody cover.  By removing even a few trees from the center of a grassland, we are actually enhancing the entire area.  Snyder (1984) found that pheasant nest success double greater than 600 meters from a tree.  That means for every tree, or clump of trees, removed we are effectively enhancing nesting success in the surrounding 280 acres of grassland.Although this appropriation focused on the Roving Crew, we can highlight a couple projects as small examples of all the work that we are proud of.  Glenflur WMA – Cottonwood County.  This 165 acre tree removal project substantially opened up this tract.  This WMA is part of the Cottonwood River Prairie Core Area and contains areas of unbroken prairie.  This site had not experienced significance disturbance, other than heavy grazing, in several decades.  A lack of disturbance had allowed tree succession to begin to invade. Prairie Bush Clover and Loggerhead Shrike are SGCN noted in this area.Lac qui Parle WMA-Nygard Tract – Swift County.  This tract is part of the larger Chippewa Prairie on the Lac qui Parle WMA and is part of a Prairie Plan Core Area.  This remnant prairie had been moderately grazed and had not seen disturbance by fire in decades.  Woody encroachment was beginning to take hold prior to this project.  Through a combination of tree removal, prescribed burning and grazing this site is now in good condition with sightings of several native prairie species that were suppressed due to lack of disturbance from fire.  This area has recent sightings of Marbled Godwits, Slender Milk Vetch, Loggerhead Shrike and Upland Sandpipers.The SNA Program was able to start a series of contracted woody removal projects at Swede’s Forest SNA.  Swede’s Forest is home to a large population of the rare five-lined skink.  The management being completed here is focused on removal of encroaching red cedar and invasive buckthorn, improving habitat not only for the five-lined skink but also for the multiple other wildlife species that call this site home.Additionally, SNA staff, with support of CCM, were able to conduct a 109 acre prescribed burn at Prairie Coteau SNA.  Prairie Coteau SNA is one of the most important and stunning prairies in southwestern Minnesota.  This prescribed burn helped improve habitat for grassland gamebird species found on the site in addition to the rare non-game species.It was difficult to assign an exact dollar figure to each person and each project.  What I did was take the total personnel budget, identify the ratio of FTE/years, and scale the personnel budget to that ratio.  I used the same approach on the parcel list.  I took the total budget and total acres, identified percentage of acres for each project relative to the acre total, and assigned the ratio of funds to that project. ",2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Isanti, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Watonwan, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-3,,,,

Perpetuation of the brushland component of the Aspen Parklands landscape helped to predispose these stands to future management with prescribed fire.This program worked to enhance oak regeneration and create a mix of young hardwood forest with more open meadow/brush lands to benefit grouse, elk, and deer.  Enhancement of conifer stands and mixed hardwood/conifer forests provided habitat for fisher and marten, and thermal cover for deer and moose. Shearing of trees and brush in large open landscape priority areas enhanced habitat for sharp-tailed grouse. Shearing and mowing of hardwoods and brush in smaller patches enhanced habitat for woodcock and deer.The program also enhanced habitat for a number of nongame species, including yellow rails, sandhill cranes, northern harriers, bobolinks, and sandpipers.  Activities that created/enhanced forest openings provided habitat for nongame species, including least chipmunks, northern flickers, coopers hawks, and song sparrows.

One position was funded through OHF, while the other leveraged funds from a Great Lakes Restoration grant. These positions contacted riparian landowners in targeted locations we prioritized for additional easement protection. We chose to target streams with high-quality habitat and fish populations, and along those streams we prioritized parcels that were adjacent to existing easements or protected public land, as well as landowners who owned parcels with longer lengths of stream. We also prioritized parcels with important features such as springs that are important to maintaining the cold water required by trout. All easements also needed to be accessible to the angling public, either from a public road, adjacent easement, or access path. Contacts with landowners were very fruitful; we found more potential parcels that we had money available for easements. This allowed us to prioritize the best parcels for easement purchase based on our criteria, but also created a list of potential parcels for acquisition using other funding sources, including OHF rounds from future years. We protected a total of 21.3 miles of trout streams using easements. One lakeshore parcel was also protected via conservation easement using this appropriation. The landowners (a scout camp) wanted the parcel protected, but also wanted to continue their passive use of the parcel. A conservation easement was a better tool than fee title acquisition in this case, which allowed us to protect 200 acres along 1.3 miles of lakeshore. The total amount of lake and stream shore acres protected by easements was just short of our goal (585 vs. 609), but we believe in the case of lake and stream riparian protection the length of shoreline is the more important measure. Fee title acquisition protected a total of 7.4 miles of lakeshore (504 acres) under this appropriation. We selected parcels for acquisition where the ratio of lakeshore to total acres was high in order to maximize riparian area protected, and where we protected critical and sensitive habitat such as emergent vegetation and natural shorelines that are critical for aquatic fish and wildlife. We were able to exceed our goal for acres protected in fee (504 vs. 427), in part due to over $550,000 in landowner donations of value that leveraged OHF money. We completed four stream habitat projects: two were on trout streams (Eagle and Rush Creeks), and two were on a warmwater rivers (Buffalo and Pomme de Terre Rivers). Eagle Creek had been degraded by years of cattle grazing, along with numerous beaver dams that had created a wide, shallow stream uninhabited by trout, unlike downstream reaches with better habitat. Using a combination of coir logs, rootwads and other woody debris, and grading and revegetating of the streambanks, the stream was narrowed to less than half of its former width. This created a much deeper stream channel with better habitat for fish, as well as the ability for the stream to better move the over-abundance of sand that comprised the stream bottom. Trout are now found in the restored half-mile of stream. The local watershed district contributed matching funds that helped to complete the project. Rush Creek habitat work has enhanced 2.5 miles of this trout stream. Steep eroding banks have been graded back, creating a floodplain that reduces the erosive energy of the stream during high water. Habitat structures of wood and rock have been placed in strategic locations on outside bends, providing stability to streambanks as well as cover for fish. All riparian areas have been seeded with a native mix of deep-rooted prairie grasses and forbs, providing enhanced stability for streambanks and habitat for terrestrial wildlife. Restoration of a reach of the Buffalo River was done on property owned by the City of Hawley. A formerly straightened reach of the river, the stream had eroding banks and lacked diverse depths, velocities, and cover required by most fish species. 2,700 feet of new meandering stream channel was constructed to restore the stream to a more natural condition, and outside bends were stabilized with woody material buried into the banks which not only provides stability while planted native vegetation becomes established, but also provides habitat for fish and aquatic insects. Enhancement work on the Pomme de Terre River was done on a relatively small area, but was critical to habitat in that reach. Due to bank erosion, the stream was in the process of cutting around a riffle that controls the grade of the streambed in that reach. That could have eventually lead to a downcutting of the stream channel that would have sent tons of sediment downstream. Instead, the streambank was stabilized using rootwads, and additional gravel and cobbles were added to the riffle to enhance its stability, as well as local habitat.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, Morrison, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Redwood, Rice, Scott, St. Louis, Swift, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-habitat-program-phase-3,,,,

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",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-4,,,,

Allemansrätt Wilderness Park (Chisago County, GRG): Forest enhancement occurred on 40 acres of high diversity forest, through two stage invasive shrub control. Funds were used for subcontracted work, while ENRTF and local match were used for volunteer engagement and habitat enhancement of adjacent acres. 2. Anoka Nature Preserve (Anoka County, ACD): Habitat enhancement occurred on 148 acres of Anoka Nature Preserve through herbicide application of common buckthorn, prickly ash, and tartarian honeysuckle; prescribed burning of treated acres; and planting of native bare root trees and shrubs. Monitoring and chemical and mechanical control of invasive woody species continued after initial treatment, including mowing, stump spraying, and spot basal bark spraying to further reduce invasive regrowth and encourage desirable species. 3. Belle Prairie County Park (Morrison County, GRG): A total of 35 acres of oak savanna/woodland habitat was enhanced through sustained removal of woody invasive species including removal, stump treatment, and a prescribed burn; and a 4 acre old field was seeded into prairie.4. Carlos Avery WMA (Anoka County, GRG): A total of 339 acres of high quality (MCBS) forest were enhanced with invasive woody removal, primarily invasive shrubs and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), with multiple treatments using subcontracted work and Greening crews. 5. Ereaux WMA (Morrison County, NWTF): A total of 288 oak woodland acres were enhanced by woody invasive species management through cutting, herbicide stump treatment, and burning of debris piles. Emergent invasive sprouts were later spot sprayed with herbicide. A portion of the site was also burned.6. McDougall WMA (Morrison County, NWTF): A total 111 acres of Mississippi River high quality floodplain and terrace forest were treated for invasive buckthorn. 7. Rice Lake SNA (Sherburne County, GRG): A total of 23 acres of high quality oak savanna enhancement was completed with the removal of invasive shrubs using a two stage treatment of winter forestry mowing, followed by spring prescribed burning. 8. Rum River Wild Rice (Isanti County, GRG): This project included successful aerial spray of overabundant water lily and invasive cattail on Marget and Krone Lakes, two historic wild rice shallow lakes, to release viable wild rice seed bed and improve the success of supplemental seeding. This project also included wild rice seeding in Rum River backwaters, oxbows, and main channel. This project enhanced a total of 139 wetland acres. 9. Sartell WMA (Benton County, NWTF): A total of 170 oak woodland acres were enhanced through woody invasive species removal of buckthorn, honeysuckle, and overabundant red cedar, through cutting, herbicide stump treatment, and burning of debris piles. Emergent invasive sprouts were later spot sprayed with herbicide. A portion of the site was also burned. 10. Sherburne NWR (Sherburne County, GRG): A total of 519 acres of oak savanna enhancement work was completed as part of the large-scale restoration of refuge lands. Enhancement consisted of woody invasive species control and other activities, through both subcontract work and USFWS in-kind match.11. Twin Lakes SNA (Isanti County, GRG): A total of 47 acres of forest were enhanced through the removal and treatment of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and other invasive species.

The Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra will preserve the rich repertoire and cultural history of orchestra in the region and throughout the state.The symphony orchestra will attract string, woodwind, brass and percussion musicians of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds to fulfill the musical requirements of the traditional symphonic repertoire. The orchestra concert will target young students and families throughout the region. Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra members and their concert attendees will be inspired by the work of incredible citizens who become the artists. Over 500 people will be involved either as musicians, volunteers, or attendees, becoming aware of the ability of the arts to raise spirits, and inspire dreams for all ages and backgrounds, as well as, stimulating the economic growth of Worthington and the surrounding areas. A video survey will be completed by members of the audience both before and after the concert. Surveys will be distributed to the symphony orchestra musicians during rehearsals and also to the concert audience participants. The survey will include information related to satisfaction, age, cultural identity, geographic location of attendees, and knowledge of the music presented. One month after the final concert, the Great Plains String Quartet Leadership Team will meet and summarize the information contained in the survey and use that information to impact further orchestral events. This activity is important to the community because it is part of the Worthington Area Orchestra’s purpose to raise awareness of orchestral and other performing arts. The Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra will be inclusive and accessible, considering economic, geographic, and physical accessibility, as well as cultural, racial, ethnic, age and gender. This project has the potential to connect a wide range of aspiring artists with their communities and the surrounding areas.","The audience and support base for Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra has grown as reflected in the Spring Concert. The addition of new players from new communities has the added benefit of expanding the audience as evidenced by the five new zip codes listed among the 25 written audience evaluations. First time attendees were present from central South Dakota, central Minnesota, northwest Iowa, the Twin Cities, Sioux Falls, Louisville, KY and more. Overall attendance has grown. Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra witnessed the growth in sponsorship support over its short life of three years. Four new community sponsors were secured for the Spring Concert. All sponsors were represented in the audience and hopefully will return for future concerts. When people attend the Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra concerts at Memorial Auditorium they not only are attending a concert, a percentage of them will purchase gas, groceries, gifts and eat at local restaurants, thus leaving an economic impact on Worthington. Another great example of the arts building economic development in communities. More musicians than last year, 50 in all, performed for the spring 2013 concert. Performers ranged in age from 14 to 80 plus, lived in 16 different zip codes in two states and represented a variety of occupations. These numbers and diversity are a new-found strength of the organization, bringing a richness to the ensemble and building a bond that united the players. One Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra musician stated, I LOVE playing in Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra! It feeds my musical soul. In pursuit of Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra’s mission to provide opportunity for area musicians to perform in the setting of a symphony orchestra in 2013 Worthington Area Symphony Orchestra has enabled a total of 85 area string, woodwind, brass and percussion players to perform as an orchestra.

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. More composers were involved in the project than originally planned because of the repertoire chosen for the concerts and the higher number of concerts given.

Success will be evaluated by the increased number of songs added to my performance repertoire, incorporation of new playing techniques, and by comparing those techniques with village musician recordings. 2: This project will give Minnesotans an opportunity to experience and engage with a highly specialized, relatively unknown music genre from Eastern Europe. Success will be evaluated by audience attendance at informational performance and the demonstrated understanding and response of workshop participants.","I was able to access recordings in my personal collection that I have never seen or heard before. The original mini DV recordings were still in good condition. Digitizing them was no problem once I had computer equipment that could handle the task. My collection now comprises accessible music field recordings from twenty-six villages in Transylvania, Romania. It also contains three examples from Hungary and one from Serbia. With access to these recordings I was able to expand my Transylvanian fiddle repertoire and techniques. For example, I added a set of six Bude?ti songs to my repertoire that are specific to that village. Their playing technique of using a sliding left hand motion in place of vibrato are not used anywhere else in Transylvania. The result is a crying or weeping-sounding melody. While the technique is not quite natural for me yet, I have established a deep understanding of the basic components of the ornament, when it use it and the goal of its overall effect. 2: My band Száska and I presented an informational performance and workshop on Transylvanian string band music. We focused on how standardized string instruments (violin, viola and double bass) are used in unconventional ways in that region. Highlighting video examples from my archive collection, I led the audience through a musical tour of four villages in Transylvania. As one example, I broke down a specific ornament and demonstrated how it is produced. Then I played a video example to show how those ornaments sound in their original context. Szászka also gave a workshop on Transylvanian folk music from the village of Palatca. Workshop participants were musicians in the Twin Cities folk music scene, but this was their first experience with Transylvanian music. They were challenged with learning how to hold and play standardized instruments in unconventional ways.

During my artists talk at the exhibition opening, I will ask my audience to identify themselves, by a show of hands, if they have or haven't ever been in an art gallery before. 2: With my updated technological equipment, I will be able to improve the photos of my artwork and further develop my website. By the end of the grant year, I will be using new technology that I don't have now by using the iPad. The business skills that I gain will be seen in the photos of 30 new portraits on my website.","I envisioned when I wrote the grant that I would bring groups of Somali elders from my community into the gallery to see my first one-woman exhibition of portraits in Minneapolis. But, during the grant year, walking tours became difficult to schedule, and my solo show was in January - and Mother Nature disagreed with my plan. It was 30 below zero for much of the run of the show, and I couldn’t arrange ways to get that audience to visit. But several colleagues and friends from the east African community did visit what eventually was not one, but two, solo exhibitions of this work, which included portraits of the elders. Using my printer, I created large scale ink-jet prints of both exhibitions, and with those, instead of bringing people to the gallery in freezing cold weather, I brought the gallery to them. Also I engaged many viewers on my iPad portfolio of portraits from these exhibitions. Great publicity for the two shows also led to many more views of the work on-line. 2: My technological skills have grown tremendously this year due to purchasing a large scale color inkjet printer and iPad; both which have become valuable tools with applications far beyond what I had imagined. Using these tools I have not only improved my photos of artworks, but I have used the printer to print jpegs of my subjects and completed portraits, sold a few of the prints, and developed methods of integrating photography and printing into my portraiture – to examine proportions, color, and composition as I develop the paintings. The new tools allow me to print information for exhibitions at low cost, so I’ve improved marketing this past year. The iPad has helped with organizing photos, marketing, taking notes, applying for exhibitions and grants, as well as updating my websites.

I worked with a new level of consultants, including an attorney, an insurance company, a videographer, photographers, a host of sound engineers, and a graphic designer. I interviewed artists about their projects and processes to help me develop and refine my directorial approach. I also learned important things about rehearsing an improv ensemble – how to provide structure yet encourage ideas and contributions.

The talkback recordings gave me important insights into how audiences received and appreciated the work, as well as ideas for future presentations of this and other works. 2: I chose the BETWEEN artists – Aimee Bryant, Nathan Greer, Bruce Henry and Libby Turner Opanga – based on their connections to my concept, improv and/or their individual artistry. Our discussions, interviews and rehearsals helped me invite each artist’s knowledge and expertise into BETWEEN. Talks with dancer Kenna Cottman made us all look at movement and improv in new, exciting ways. Regina Laroche’s curiosity/interest in BETWEEN resulted in several gatherings to share progress and let her step in and dance for the Minneapolis performance. I asked audiences to speak/sing in two works, one about names and the other about carrying what we are given with us (and passing it on).

This recipe is based on the use of Oil of Spike Lavender which I discovered as a solvent through doing the research enabled by this grant. The new medium that I developed dries slower: it allows more flexibility in working time, more translucent layers, and allows color to be manipulated in interesting ways. I was unable to do these things with alkyd mediums (a less toxic alternative but one which dries very quickly and has some other hindering qualities). I gauged my success by my own satisfaction and audience reaction. Studio and exhibition visitors responded well to the new depth of color and the more intricate painting surfaces. I was fortunate enough to sell a very large piece right off the studio wall the week it was completed. This told me that my efforts were fruitful. 2: I had hoped to be able to expand my audience reach by exhibiting in other areas outside of the Twin Cities. Though I was unable to secure an exhibition in space outside of the metro area during the grant period I do feel that I successfully reached more Minnesotans with my work based on some of the media attention around my events as well as with my blog that tracked the project results. By keeping a mailing list, tracking visitor numbers to my studio and exhibition events, blog site and Facebook Page I was able to see that my reach had grown during the grant period. I was able to connect with other artists statewide, nationally and internationally, through my bi-weekly blog mostly evidenced by the location from where the responses/questions were coming from.

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.

These are outcomes I expect, as a direct result of receiving the grant.","I completely finished thirteen new works: 36 x 38 inch, 16 x 20 inch, 20 x 16 inch, 30 x 24 inch, 24 x 24 inch, 12 x 18 inch, 12 x 18 inch, 12 x 18 inch, 12 x 18 inch, 12 x 18 inch, 18 x 18 inch, 12 x 16 inch, 18 x 24 inch. A 24 x 36 inch painting I began prior to the grant was finished as well. Three more medium to large works are nearly complete and will need more supplies by way of paint to finish. In hindsight, I realized that for the amount of time I expended on making the new work I should have applied for more money for supplies and my time. I did surpass what I thought I could do within the time allowed and with the amount of materials. I was able to have nearly all of the work photographed and uploaded to my website. I was able to use the images that I had photographed and my website information to apply for and receive: three exhibitions in Minnesota and two in WI. One of the shows in Minnesota was a two-person exhibition in Minnesota and the other two were group shows. In addition, and as a direct result of this grant, I will have a two-person exhibition in September, 2014 in Albert Lea, MN at the Riverland Community College. Another exhibit is slated for January 2015 at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin. I showed my work to the community during Art Attack and Art-A-Whirl and received additional support and was asked to show my work in a few other venues in the future.

The second, at the Cracked Walnut Literary Series. The third at The Daughters’ of Norway Lodge. I had a collective audience of 108 people at these three events. These readings reached people who had lived through WWII, people of Norwegian-American decent, (especially Norwegian women), as well as a broader audience, several of whom were from outside the metro-area.

The success is determined by how many residents I photograph and the power and strength of the portraits. The interest outside of the Angle is essential to evaluating success and can be determined by blog interaction, exhibition invitations, and press coverage. 2: The outcome is a series of photographs created by young and old who live in The Angle. The images reflect the unique area where they live. The number of residents who participate and the quality of work determines the success of the project. The level of enthusiasm is a good barometer for measuring outcome success. I anticipate strong interest because residents of The Angle are eager to share their unique way of life with others.","This grant provided me with several learning opportunities. I learned how to manage my work flow and technical skills in an environment that is very remote. The Angle is isolated and the winter temperatures dipped to -45, I have never shot or cared for my equipment under such circumstances. I also worked with a group of grade school children ranging in age from 6-14, this was definitely and new learning curve, and all in a one room school house too. During the grant period I also honed my technical skills in color photography and aspects of Photoshop. The most important thing I learned is how much people appreciate the arts regardless of where they live. 2: This component on the grant was by far the most inspiring for a community of people who travel 3 hours roundtrip through a foreign country to just buy groceries. There is no way to describe the isolation and remoteness on the Minnesota Angle, one has to experience it. The grant provided an opportunity for children who live far away from any available gallery, museum or arts related space to engage in the practice and a working artist. The year of photographs and gallery books they created are inspiring. The parents of the kids noted the enthusiasm their children had for the project and began to discuss continuing a project and arts education in general. For the rest of the community the project brought out a lot of pride and wanted to people to see the beauty of where they live.

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. In Silver Bay, Kelliher and Red Wing, I worked with multiple organizations to set up double-headers where we did an additional performance or workshop on the same day to reach more people. I counted the number of people at each show and I was able to reach larger audiences than I have in the past. 2: I counted the number of people at each show and found I was able to reach larger audiences than I have in the past. I was disappointed that the situation with the high school football game in Kelliher took away from the number of youth I was able to perform for but I feel satisfied with the number of adults I was able to reach through the five performances (in three cases the day was broken into two events which helped even more in reaching a larger audience). In addition, the CD I produced and promoted with grant funds has been very well received and is being distributed nationally by the University of Wisconsin Press.

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.

I exceeded my expectations for the amount of work (both editing and generating new stories) that I would be able to get done during the grant period. I collaborated with nine other Minnesota fiction writers in readings I arranged at Magers and Quinn in Minneapolis and The Contented Cow in Northfield. We not only got a chance to listen and respond to each other's work, but also to give each other feedback. I received very positive feedback from both the other fiction writers (especially for a story called Craigslist Posts) and audience members. Since many of my stories use humor, it's extremely helpful to learn if and when people will laugh. I discussed promotion strategies and book publishing with Paper Darts editors/founders (Jamie Millard and Meghan Murphy), and I hired a graphic designer, Heather Musil, to create a website. I organized two readings (Magers and Quinn and The Contented Cow) and ran two workshops in Minnesota (one at Metro State for Ed Bok Lee's Advanced Writing Short Fiction and Journal Publication course and another at Center for Hmong Arts and Talent in St. Paul); in addition, my story WataPark was selected to be read at the Vita.mn Summer Story Contest event on The Union Rooftop in Minneapolis. Over two hundred people attended the readings and workshops. I increased my Facebook presence not only by promoting these events, but by enlisting nine other Minnesota fiction writers to do so as well (since they, too, were reading at these events): John Jodzio, Sarah Askari, Dennis Cass, Maggie Ryan Sandford, Matt Mauch, Matt Ryan, William Alexander, and Mary Logue.

Achieved: My business skills were developed by individual consultations with Springboard for the Arts' Andy Sturdevant focusing on strengthening the skills and materials learned in the Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists workshop series I just completed prior to beginning my grant period. We worked on identifying curators, galleries, and museums to introduce my artwork to through promotional packets and strategies for approaching; identifying resources for researching other exhibition venues; using social media tools for networking and marketing; updating email list including media, curators, and gallery directors; identifying newsletter programs for marketing; and identifying resources for grants, fellowships, and additional revenue streams. Purchased GYST software and manual. Evaluated: A plan is developed for approaching curators and exhibition spaces and the resources established to move this forward. My art business is now well represented on social media with a Facebook Studio Page and Twitter Handle and Account. News and events have successfully reached a much wider audience through these tools and can be evaluated with statistics from the Facebook Studio Page, and “Mentions” or “Retweets” with Twitter. 2: Achieved: Through exhibitions, television program, open studios, events, and online.

My chamber music compositions using the Hardanger fiddle and seljefloyte were performed at the Workshop/Performance in addition to a teaching/educational summary of my activities and what I learned. 2: 1.

Additionally, I met with 3 classes of art students from College of Visual Art, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and Arts Institutes International Minnesota to explain not only my last year’s work but more broadly how I look at the transitional challenges from student to young artist. All these experiences speak to a sense of growth and participation with the “new,” for which I am appreciative. 2) Reflection on the process, by working on publications (to express in words the experiences and sense of “new”). 2: 1. I put this solo show on my own which required budget analysis, schedules, realizing the work as a communicable object/physical entity (versus a digital file to be experienced on my personal computer), marketing concerns, and surprisingly in this case, a venue change. 2.

To evaluate the success of the public reading, I noted how many people attended (23). At the event, my mentor, Matt Burgess, introduced me. He commented on some of my struggles and successes. Following the reading we held a brief Q and A which enabled the audience to ask questions about the process and give feedback on the writing. The Q and A was the best measurement of audience response to the work. 2: The experience of balancing my budget was a first step for me. With the money I budgeted for mentorship, I explored resources for writers, including the Loft Literary Center, I networked and interacted with other artists, including The Equilibrium poets, and I was able to learn from my mentor what steps to take in terms of incorporating myself. My mentor provided me with the foundation on which business savvy is built. In our second session Matt said to me You are a writer now. OWN IT!"" From there I was able to start taking myself seriously. I kept a journal of all my grant related activities. I kept good books, noted every penny I used, and this process gave me ideas about how much things cost and how much I need to get myself going as a business.

Though the performers learned a lot and gained experience playing new music, the composers themselves really learned the most. There was much discussion between the composers and I about how the harpsichord works best, and what kinds of textures to use. Also, as stated later on, composers listening to the concerts became really excited about the sound possibilities of the harpsichord in their own compositions. I measured the success of this outcome by the liveliness of the discussions that I had with the composers, and the eventual resulting compositions. They were all excellent, and completely different from each other. I also measured success by the number of new composers who expressed interest in writing for the harpsichord in the future. I spoke to at least 4 composers who seemed excited and interested in doing this. 2: More Minnesotans were able to engage in or with the works of Minnesota artists through this project. Again, focusing on the composers, these 4 new works were performed 4 times in concert for this project.

Additionally, because of the recording, some of my colleagues will perform these works in the future.

More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.","Though I didn't mark this as an expected project outcome in my grant, it became an outcome for all the artists who played on my album and at the CD release: Each of the 7 players, who are at the top of their fields, told me this was some of the most challenging music they've had to learn and play. Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

All of these activities happened right on schedule, with performances taking place in March 2013 and recording in April 2013. I would evaluate the achievement very highly because A) the quality of the music that the composers wrote for me was uniformly excellent, and B) I was able to deliver exciting interpretations of these new pieces which were refined over the course of three performances, and which were then documented through a studio recording. I am confident that these actions will go a long way to helping me achieve my ultimate goal of establishing myself as a major commissioner of new music for the clarinet. 2: All of the composers I commissioned are Minnesota-based. The concert program contained both the new works and also two other pieces by Minnesota composers. I performed all of these pieces in venues across the state: St Paul, Duluth, and St Cloud. Audiences were able to both hear the pieces and engage with myself and the composers, all of whom were in attendance at each performance. The concerts in Duluth and St Cloud were on university campuses, and at both places I gave talks to the students about working with composers, commissioning new works, and how to go about securing the funding for new commissions. I evaluate these achievements highly for several reasons: First, the concert attendance was high, especially for my first performance in St Paul, where I had around 60 attendees in Studio Z. This is a very respectable audience size for a concert of new music. Secondly, audience feedback was very positive due to the high quality of both the new compositions and my performances.",,5500,"Other, local or private",15500,,,,"Patrick W.

I asked the Loft Literary Center to donate the performance hall, which they agreed to. We held a reading with nearly 200 attendees. I spoke to several audience members after the event directly engaging with many people about my project. This year, I completed writing a collection of ten short stories that are set in a psychiatric facility in Minneapolis. The bulk of my work has been generating new material, which is a solitary process. I evaluated my progress by tracking my daily word count. I committed to 500 words per day, and accomplished this. Throughout the revision process, my raw material was slowly whittled down to ten short stories, or 150 pages, which I'm now ready to submit for publication. I've made this evaluation through my own assessment, and also with the help of two writing groups I take part in here in Minneapolis. I'm fortunate to have had the input of the following local writers: Dale Gregory Anderson, Andrew Andestic, Eric Braun, Michelle Freeland, Eric Vrooman, and Robert Voedisch. All of these Minnesotans have engaged with my work throughout the year and provided me with critical feedback on how to make improvements. It is their belief, and mine, that these stories will now reach a wider audience as I begin to submit them for publication. My reading gave me evidence that this is likely. Many audience members approached me after the event, wanting to discuss the story that I read, and mental illness in general.

This is a great gift to give to an artist because most creative breakthroughs occur through trial and error. When an artist does not have the time to risk failure, her work will eventually become habitual. My “learning opportunities” took place while I was alone in my studio without distraction. I evaluated my achievements based on what I was able to accomplish during the grant period. Because of the State Arts Board grant, I was able to experiment with and begin to develop three distinct bodies of work. In this way the State Arts Board grant not only allowed me to complete work for my proposed exhibition, it also laid the foundation for many future artworks. While the grant period lasted for only one year, the effects of my efforts during that period will inform my work for many years to come. 2: Every time I am given the opportunity to exhibit my work it brings me into contact with new organizations, curators and arts administrators. The exhibition that I had at the Bloomington Theater and Arts Center was no exception. This opportunity brought me into contact with new people and gave me insight into the workings of a public arts organization. Working with the Bloomington Theater and Arts Center informed the way I organize my work and the time devoted to making artwork. I was able to create a cohesive exhibition geared to a new audience without sacrificing the quality of the work. The feedback I received during the exhibition supported the choices that I had to make when choosing work for the show.

I completed 2 other stories to submit to editors because I had the time to write my own stories. 2) After finishing SASS and submitting it, I was offered representation by 2 agents. My agent Sara Crowe (at Harvey Klinger, Inc., New York) has sent SASS out to various editors. While SASS hasn't sold yet, I've received some positive feedback and not enough consistent criticism to edit the draft. Sara Crowe has also sent out an early chapter book and picture book manuscript that I completed this year. Both of these projects have received positive responses from editors--3 of which want to see more of my stories. All 3 stories are currently with editors. 2: 1. I expanded my online presence by creating an author web site, an author page on Facebook, and partaking in a group blog that writes about children's books (Worddisco). I spoke at a Children's Literature Network breakfast where I networked with teachers and librarians. I was a visiting author for twelve elementary schools in Minnesota, which allowed me to improve my presentations. 2. I have 240 fans for my author page on Facebook. Teachers have contacted me through my web site and through Children's Literature Network. Here's a quote from a school I visited: Trisha Speed Shaskan is an author full of fun and enthusiasm. The children feed off of her passion for books and reading. She gears her demonstrations to meet the appropriate age of the audience.

I can say with complete confidence that I will be working with clay for the rest of my life. I feel like I have just scratched the surface of its numerous possibilities and I have a lifetime of learning ahead of me. 2: One of the major business skills that I learned during my project period is how shoot, document, and edit images of my own work, and to manage my own website and increase my ‘online presence’. (An unintended side effect is that I have begun to develop the skills to do this for others, and in the future might perform - rather than pay for - these types of professional services.) I did this by hiring professionals to do it for me and also teach me to do it myself. Additionally, working in clay offers unique opportunities to create multiples and potentially earn money through self-generated sales of one’s work. The clay/ceramic community operates on market models generally quite different from the so-called ‘fine arts’/gallery model. The clay/ceramic community expects and encourages artists to be actively involved in designed and creating work that can be sold. And not necessarily through a prestigious gallery either. Craft shows, sales-out-of-studio, and e-commerce are all considered respectable and encouraged venues. This is something of a culture shock to me, but I like it.",,100,"Other, local or private",10100,,,,"Melissa K.

I researched extensively industry standards. Learned new ways to tell a story that unfolds in time. Acquired a stop-motion animation software of professional level - Dragon Frame. At the same time purchased new DSLR camera (Nikon D7000) with live view option to take full advantage of what Dragon Frame has to offer. Final Cut Pro - the editing program I used in the beginning of the film was not compatible with Mac Pro so I had to switch to Adobe Premier and learn that new software in a short time. Collaborating with another artist also made me a better director. I am taking away many lessons of how to manage a small production company that focuses on experimental short films. In addition, at the start of the project, I invited the filmmaker Chris Sullivan in my studio to ask for professional feedback. Time management! 2: During the grant year, I kept detailed track of expenses incurred for the film in preparation for claiming art expense as a tax deduction for the first time. I researched how to create comprehensive budgets for the independent film industry in preparation for raising funds and soliciting fiscal sponsorship. In addition, I networked with other artists and film makers. I identified more grants I qualify for and currently I am following through with my plans. Record keeping and developing plans for future fundraising is an essential component of professionalizing as an individual artist.

Also, by hiring eleven actors for the reading, each actor was able to expand their craft through training, rehearsal, and the experience of a public reading. The opportunity gave them a chance to expand their resumes. Also, the actors read in front of a director who was interested in casting for the film roles. 2) My screenplay won the McKnight Award and was part of the Emerging Narrative series in New York City. These awards, combined with the option agreement, are a strong confirmation that I have achieved the goals I established in the grant request. 2: 1. Completing the work, growing my portfolio, putting my work out into the world, all amazing achievements during this process and due to the generosity of this grant. In addition, the public reading helped others Minnesotans to engage in the work. The actors read in front of an audience of more than 40 community members. A brief Q and A after the reading gave the audience members an opportunity to ask questions of both the writer and actors. 2. A headcount was taken of audience members who attended the reading.

Additionally, I learned the basics of lighting, green screen, video, and audio during the production phase of the project (working side by side with a recent graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design film/video program. The success of this outcome is measured by the project's ability to impact the careers of several Minnesota artists, early in their careers, while also providing me with valuable and practical artistic/new-media experience. 2: a. I worked with a local web specialist. Evaluation: Appropriate terms-of-payment and an excellent, functional, final product (i.e. interactive project website) resulted from successful negotiations. b. A temporary studio was needed for the video production of HAPPY CAMPERS. Evaluation: I negotiated a very fair rental of a Kingfield neighborhood two-car garage. c. All video participants signed release forms. d. I approached local businesses and received in-kind"" donations -- most importantly, from Pizza Luce (donated over 150 pizza slice vouchers, with which I rewarded participants), Peace Coffee (donated five 1-lb bags of coffee), and Victor's 1959 Café (a $20 gift certificate).

Since the grant allowed me to not be concerned with selling, I had time to do immense research on older and current self-portraits by other artists. This helped my use of new color schemes in my work and generated new ideas. 2) Evaluation comes from my audience viewing my new work and then giving positive remarks about it. Some said they really enjoyed my vibrant colors and were moved by my emotional approach to some of the paintings. Many viewers also stated they enjoyed the realism one of my works, Always Reaching."" This realism is created by my accuracy in observing and painting value (darks and lights). Sally Strand's class made this accuracy possible. 2: 1. By research I learned to write press releases and created a list of calendars, people, newsletters, newspapers, magazines, and television/radio where I could send the press release. 2. Now I have a permanent list of places and people to which I can send a press release. I had part of my press release published in many publications. My exhibit was spotlighted by Mary Abbe in Sunday's ""Star Tribune,"" with a photo of one of my works and text. May's issue of ""Women’s Press"" also highlighted my exhibit with photo and text.

In working with these new materials, I needed to make a safer environment for me to work and to keep my residential home studio free from contaminants, keeping my family and neighborhood safe. 2) I evaluated this achievement by first purchasing a air filtration system that filtered out the toxic dust and gas caused by working in steel and stainless steel. This gave me the confidence to work in the confined space of my garage studio. Next, I tested many different types of materials by studying their technical specifications and making macquettes. In this process of making the macquettes, I experimented with many cutting and fabrication techniques to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each material. 2: My biggest artist business achievement was having a Minnesota State Arts Board grant behind me as a way to establish credibility with manufacturers and other businesses. With this grant, I had the right access to engage these businesses in discussions about their materials and the funds to purchase their products. I evaluated my achievement by turning around two requests for information that had been previously rejected into two full tours of the facilities and extensive interviews with the person in charge of the particular products I was researching.

This was a treat for audiences, and they told us so! Your Move was the other piece on the program. We were able to reach out to the local dance communities, solicit video of Their Moves in advance, and include their specific movement and dance participation in the staged productions at each location. Many of the local participants expressed genuine thanks and were thrilled to be involved with the James Sewell Ballet artists in this high level engagement. 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. Beyond our presenting partners in the eight communities, we also reached out to local dance schools and instructors to plan our activities and maximize results with the Your Move work.

They have maintained this building as a performing arts center and art gallery…which for a town of 2000 is rather impressive. From Wadena, lots of photographs and autographs for students. The students gave us an instant standing ovation and when Gary went over to announce the encore one girl yelled Yay it worked! 2: Cantus provides experience and support in helping small Minnesota arts organizations increase audience size and knowledge. Two of our three presenters were well established and had the capacity to host Cantus. Our third presenter had lost her planning committee over the past year so Cantus was particularly helpful to her in preparing for the concert. For all three cities, Cantus provided extensive publicity support, Minnesota Public Radio on-air sponsorship and outreach to the schools.

After each program, we debriefed with our staff and asked key staff members at the partner organizations to complete an online survey to evaluate the quality of the experience, any problems encountered, the impact of the field trip and recommendations for the future. We considered the program a success when participating organizations were interest in coming back for further enrichment, and when our contacts let us know that they would not have been able to participate in our arts education without this grant. 2: Following a program assessment of the previous years' Creative Adventure program, we determined that in order to provide a high quality program for all visiting groups, we needed to limit the number of groups attending the park as well as assure that the group sizes were kept manageable enough for our tour guides and teaching artists. This limitation improved our ability to offer the highest quality experience to all participants without overloading the guides and artists with more students than they could handle at one time. We found that although we were no longer marketing this program to any group, we were still receiving inquiries regarding available space in the program as well as how a group would qualify to be a participant.

20790,"Arts Learning",2013,11030,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","Students can recognize and perform Afro-Brazilian rhythms and techniques and apply them to their creative works. Each student will be evaluated using a rubric to measure their level of skills in rhythms and techniques, from recognizing to accurately performing and applying skills to one's own creative work. 2: Students will synthesize information about Africanist artistic aesthetics and the role of race and culture in art making. Students will demonstrate learning by writing and compiling articles into a class newspaper that address students' questions about Africanist artistic aesthetics and the greater overall theme in World Geography/History: Living Race in the Americas.","This was easiest to assess in Dance and Music classes where rhythms were performed directly. In the two dance classes, the students worked with Marciano Silva Dos Santos for three concentrated weeks. Their dance teacher was able to observe and record which students were demonstrating the rhythms correctly, and worked with any who needed assistance. Having a performance to look forward to was a great motivator to the students to not only get the rhythms right, but to perform in unison with each other. Dance students were then challenged by Mr. Silva Dos Santos to create phrases of their own that utilized the rhythms. Students had a month to refine these with their teacher’s coaching, then Silva Dos Santos returned prior to the concert. He was excited to see the students’ growth in fluidity of movement. When he left, they had been able to execute the movements, but given time to make the movement their own, they were really dancing it. Percussion students worked with Eliezer Freitas Santos along with their teachers. The music teachers consulted with Mr. Freitas Santos and decided to structure their residency differently, with the guest coming in two days a week for a longer period of time. Part of the magic of this residency was that Mr. Freitas Santos does not speak fluent English, so music became the primary language of the residency. Students gravitated to the new rhythms and learned to layer them in polyrhythmic blends. Again, their music teachers were able to observe and record student proficiency in demonstrating the rhythms. The music teachers also incorporated the Brazilian names of the rhythms into the structure of their classes and included them in listening/recognition tests. Percussion students observed the dance compositions and worked to apply their newly-learned rhythms to accompany the dancers. They accompanied the dancers in their final performance. They also learned the percussion accompaniment to The Waters of March by Antonio Carlos Jobim, and accompanied the choir in their final concert. Choir students were not included in the original proposal, but Mr. Silva Dos Santos was able to coach choral students working on The Waters of March. He worked with them both on Portuguese pronunciation and on the interplay between the rhythm of the Portuguese words and the Brazilian rhythms. Again, the students were able to demonstrate their grasp of the rhythms in a culminating performance, along with their percussion counterparts. Choral students did not, however, apply their own creative work to this performance piece. They did improvise on these rhythms in choral warm-ups and their teacher was able to assess that they were secure in this practice. Finally, Painting students were able to perform Brazilian rhythms under the guidance of Ta-Coumba Aiken, who asked students to follow his method of rhythmic painting while listening to Brazilian music. Students viewed works that Mr. Aiken had produced as décor for the Batuque performance, including painted backdrops, skirts, and poles manipulated by the dancers. Connections were made to indigenous Brazilian art styles. One painting class then created long vertical murals that were displayed in the AT and T tower’s gallery. The other class painted the skirts and poles that their dance counterparts would use in their concert. Again, the authentic culminating exhibition or performance was a significant motivator for students to demonstrate their mastery of the medium. 2: This outcome was supported more by the Academic portion of the residency. We developed an overarching metaphor of Structures and Freedoms: Interpreting the Form to help students relate the improvisational nature of Batuque (the scat-like, spoken version of Brazilian percussion) to the fluidity of racial roles in different cultures. The majority of students involved in the academic portion of the residency were 9th graders, and in class discussions, the main connection they made was to the new and different structures and freedoms of their high school experience vs. their middle school lives. They clearly understood culture on a micro-level, as organizational or school culture. After a panel discussion featuring our guest artists, some of whom are African Americans, others of Afro-Brazilian heritage, students could articulate a difference in the role of race in the two national cultures of the US and Brazil. They recognized the importance of Africanist aesthetics in the popular culture of each country. They incorporated the re-use aesthetic of the Brazilian favelas into their Green projects, and many students chose to create percussion instruments. The class was fascinated by the idea of coded messages in Brazilian music and dance/capoeira forms, and were able to relate this to what they had previously learned about African American spirituals, rhymes and quilts during the underground railroad era.",,670,"Other, local or private",11700,,"Hellen Basset, Irma McIntosh Coleman, Missy Lee, Cathy Cella, Holly Parker, John Easterwood, Susan Hayes Droegemueller, Julie Sweitzer, Carla Bates, Andie Scamehorn, John Solomon",0.00,"Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Resource School Downtown","K-12 Education","Arts Learning",,"World history/geography students at FAIR School will create Afro-Brazilian dance and music, and perform and respond to their work under the guidance of teaching artists Marciano Silva dos Santos and Timothy Berry.",2013-03-01,2014-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rie,Gilsdorf,"Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Resource School Downtown","10 South 10th St",Minneapolis,MN,55403,"(612) 619-9415 ",rgilsdorf2@comcast.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-344,"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.

Kulture Klub Collaborative is passionate and skilled at making arts experiences accessible for youth experiencing homelessness. This program was no different. Kulture Klub Collaborative utilized numerous tools in minimizing barriers. This program had several young parents who participated often. With this grant, we were able to offset child care costs. All youth received transportation support and many core youth participants received stipends for their leadership. We also offered snacks and meals when appropriate so that youth weren't struggling with basic hunger needs. In addition to all this, Kulture Klub Collaborative works closely with 30+ partner organizations at Youth Opportunity Center to address other basic needs. These include case management, housing, mental and physical health support, laundry, showers, food shelf, and clothing. For instance, a participant who was feeling ill was able to access the free clinic and return to the residency activity. 2: Youth experienced authentic invitations to participation, including a flexible and fluid program that allowed them to drop in once or twice. However, youth could attend every week and have a depth of engagement in the work. Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and Youth Advisory Council worked closely with Jenny Lion to develop a program that met these needs for engagement. To make a video, youth only needed to spend about 30 minutes in a program. Or, youth could drop in for an hour to design and paint a backdrop. However, many youth came session after session, even dropping in outside of program time to work on the video booth or learn technical skills. In evaluation sessions, it was clear that participants felt a deep connection to the activity and the artist.

This was the first time we have ever done a solo youth show. 2: Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report that youth experienced fewer barriers to participating in art. This group of youth deals with significant struggles, and meeting people where they are at is critical.

This final group is a fluid population that changes daily; total youth served was 8 rather than 10 anticipated. Each group met 10 times over a 5-week period for a residency total of 50 sessions.

Each group of Metro SJ’s youth completed 3 to 5 books depending on Metro staff’s plans and time constraints. Minnesota Center for Book Arts aligned the projects with each group’s focus, such as when youth working on a science project produced volcano books. At the end of the residency, all of the participants created hardcover 8-1/2 x 11-inch journals bound with their own marbled paper endsheets and secured by a screw-post binding. The journals hold each participant’s creative writing as well as allowing the addition of sheets for continued use.

Working closely with our gate keepers and teaching artists, Northern Clay Center developed educational programing that used clay as a tool for instruction, creativity, and hands-on learning experiences while being mindful of the physical, intellectual, and logistical considerations of our partners and their clients.

To increase accessibility and interest, our programming was formatted to meet the needs of each site and population. This a la carte approach increased participation and overall success within the events. Whenever possible, partnering organizations brought interested clients to Northern Clay Center for a demonstration by a Northern Clay Center studio artist and a free tour of our facilities, which include exhibition spaces, sales gallery, artist studios, firing facilities, and educational classrooms.

We will evaluate our goal of building understanding and appreciation by assessing personal interactions with audience members during the post-performance gatherings, through printed surveys, blog posts, and a dinner with all the hosts after the tour.","We overcame our targeted audience's barriers to participation, including geographic, economic, and perceptive barriers. We also created an opportunity for more Minnesotans to participate in the arts, especially those who would not normally participate in a performing arts experience such as ours. For example, a Hmong family with thirteen children attended the performance at no cost whatsoever. We evaluated the extent to which we achieved our outcomes through: one-on-one interactions between cast and the audience after the shows in the intimate and informal setting of the post-performance gatherings; building personal relationships with the garage hosts and their co-Hosts; evaluating the detailed audience surveys; and reviewing box office statistics. We also receive a number of unsolicited social media posts, emails, letters, and coverage from the media. The hosts also attended the post-tour dinner at our home, and their feedback was invaluable. 2: Of the survey respondents, nearly 50% of total respondents cited time and/or cost as the principal barrier to their participation. The average donation made was down $1.30 than projected based on the past 3 years of the Garage Tour, reaffirming a persistent economic barrier to participation. Also, in the one-on-one interactions with audiences and hosts during the post-performance gatherings we can generally ascertain if a host was able to attract an audience broader than their known friends.

We were able to mitigate these barriers by choosing a diversity of interested candidates, offering them classes free of charge, holding classes in both Minneapolis and St. Paul and also including women identified artists. All totaled, there were nineteen artists, fifteen of whom were people of color, seven were first generation immigrants, twelve were women or trans-identified, and three LGBTQ-identified.

We provided transportation to community members to make it to gatherings and childcare. We also distributed fliers and brochures announcing gatherings and multi-lingual performances in multiple languages. We provided interpreters at meetings. This was to increase the level of comfort for our immigrant communities.

We will foster relationships with community organizations that have not participated in photography programs, learn more about barriers to participation and the needs of arts learners, and increase access to photographic arts programming for underserved populations.","PATCKids Arts Learning project with the North Minneapolis Jerry Gamble Boys and Girls Club offered twelve youth, ages 9-12, the opportunity to learn photography during a two-week summer program that focused on sports and motion. We taught the basics of digital photography and composition while providing on-site experiences students would not normally have access to; capturing motion through consistent educational art activities during our tour of Target Field and a Minnesota Twins game. Our program gave students at Jerry Gamble Boys and Girls Club the opportunity to broaden their idea of community through a visual medium they never had the opportunity to work with before. Ultimately, students left our program with the confidence to pursue photographer, equipped with the skills required to reach their individual goals. 2: PATCKids’ relationship with the Jerry Gamble Boys and Girls Club resulted in two successful programs in 2013, with the second program doubling the number of students we served in the first. We eliminated the barriers of equipment costs, program supplies, instructors, and access to facilities. By using the transportation already in place from the Boys and Girls Club, we were able to bring the students to a variety of Minneapolis sites to capture motion and sports. When we put cameras in the hands of youth, surrounding them with instructors and mentors, we provided students with the support they needed to feel safe, confident, and successful. Students were encouraged to expand their vision and think outside of the box to reach their individual, creative potential.

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.

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.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report on a successful long-term residency with Works Progress that resulted in achieving this outcome. One of the best examples of this outcome was the ongoing conversation between Works Progress, Kulture Klub Collaborative staff, and the Kulture Klub Collaborative Youth Advisory Council. Through this collaboration, professional artists were able to hear directly from homeless youth and vice versa. Members of the Youth Advisory Council and other core participants built relationships over consistent and nearly year-long interactions with Work Progress and their surrounding community. Outside of the core group, Kulture Klub Collaborative did not see a consistency in terms of relationship-building for Works Progress artists, but the program did foster relationships for Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and other homeless youth. The success of these relationships was based on metrics from surveys and conversations with participating youth. The targeted community was youth experiencing homelessness at the Youth Opportunity Center. This is a community that has a long connection to Kulture Klub Collaborative. Homeless youth experience numerous real and perceived barriers to participating in the arts and generally have very few opportunities to engage with artists. Artists like Works Progress who are interested in connecting with this community have many challenges to connecting with this community. In designing the program, Works Progress met with Kulture Klub Collaborative youth to identify themes and curiosities of the potential participants. “We spent a lot of time at the beginning of the project on activities that were designed to help us get to know Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and young people, and tried to let those relationships shape the project. It was great having Sue Pohl and Jeff Hnilicka so involved in the project and planning. Their knowledge of the community of young people we were working with, and their knowledge and experience with youth advocacy work were essential.” 2: Kulture Klub Collaborative was very successful in addressing barriers. From transportation to negotiating child care to trauma, Kulture Klub Collaborative worked diligently to mitigate youth barriers. For example, by having young parents on our Youth Opportunity Center, we were able to have our community directly shape how we addressed barriers. One metric for evaluation of addressing barriers was how many youth accessed support; i.e. bus tokens or child care stipends. To measure qualitative value of our ability to address barriers, Kulture Klub Collaborative did survey evaluations and ongoing conversations. One of the barriers this population faces (and that many young people face regardless of housing status and other economic barriers) is feeling like they are not good at art"" or that art activities are not for them. One of our strategies to address this was to create activities that responded to and built upon the young peoples' interests - for example, their love of particular music or dance forms and genres. We tried to meet them where they are in that interest in the arts, and then looked for ways to build on that interest by providing opportunities for them to try their hand at creating something - without all the pressure of that ""something"" having to be capital ""A"" art. One example of this is the collaborative poetry activity. Rather than asking youth to write poems of their own, we found a way for them to journal their stream of consciousness thoughts and to use that language as the building blocks for new collaborative poems.""",,1540,"Other, local or private",56540,4985,,,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Kulture Klub Collaborative will invite the artist and design collective, Works Progress, to activate our gallery space during a ten-month residency, to engage youth experiencing homelessness.",2012-04-01,2013-02-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeff,Hnilicka,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","41 N 12th St",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1325,"(612) 252-1248 ",jeff@kultureklub.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-143,"Charlene Akers: Executive director, Stearns History Museum.; Katherine Dodge: Executive director, Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program.; Joanna Kohler: Owner, Kohler Productions.

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report that all of our outcomes were achieved. The quantity of arts learning experiences increased through this project without doubt. Seitu Jones offered weekly programs during the fall to create arts learning opportunities for youth experiencing homelessness. Seitu is a nationally recognized artist and educator. For almost all of these young people, they have little to no arts learning experiences within their grasp. Quantitatively, we marked the total number of attendees and frequency. Qualitatively, we were able to mark this with anecdotal responses from young people. The strategy that Kulture Klub Collaborative used to increase learning is consistent programming, rooted in relationship building. By having Seitu, his assistant Adjoa, and Kulture Klub Collaborative staff at every program, there was a regular invitation to homeless youth to participate in the project. In addition to the quantity of arts learning increasing, this program also increased the types of arts learning. Working with Seitu is a hands-on experience, crossing a variety of media - installation, public art, sculpture, painting, and drawing. This was truly a unique learning environment for these young people. 2: There are numerous barriers that homeless youth need addressed. Kulture Klub Collaborative provided bus tokens and vehicle transportation, child care stipends, child-friendly activities, and youth-to-youth outreach. Meals were provided at every activity and core participants received stipends. Success for these strategies was marked quantitatively by how many youth utilized the supports and qualitatively by anecdotal responses in surveys and Youth Advisory Council feedback. The Youth Advisory Council and Licensed Clinical Social Worker's Sue Pohl led the charge of identifying barriers. For Kulture Klub Collaborative youth, there are a myriad of real and perceived barriers - everything from transportation to child care, from not being an artist"" to trying to prioritize artmaking in a busy schedule. Also, for this project, some youth had a barrier of not knowing anything about ""public art"" or the modes that Seitu works in as an artist. As a team, Kulture Klub Collaborative youth, staff, and artists developed ways to address barriers. Some were simple solutions like bus tokens, stipends, and child-care support. Other times, the barriers were addressed with a more relationship-based strategy. Youth got to know Seitu over shared meals and conversations to learn about his artwork. Youth would also build relationships with Kulture Klub Collaborative staff to address mental health, chemical health, or other housing crises. These strategies worked very well, as the staff and artist team had extensive arts learning experience.""",,19,"Other, local or private",22019,3000,,,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Kulture Klub Collaborative will work with teaching artist Seitu Jones to develop installation artwork with a community of young people experiencing homelessness.",2012-09-01,2013-01-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeff,Hnilicka,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","41 N 12th St",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1325,"(612) 252-1248 ",jeff@kultureklub.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-220,"Mary Baier: Educator and administrator, Minnesota Public Schools.

Traditional classical music concerts are too long for young children, and the format is not conducive to quality time between parents and children, and 3. Traditional concert format produces anxiety in parents about how their child/ren will behave. We addressed these barriers by making concerts free for children and students, making concerts one hour long and creating an environment that is child-friendly (tables set up with coloring activities, snacks provided, doors left open with easy access to hallway and bathrooms), and by programming movements of classical music rather than complete works. We announced at every concert that it is okay for children to make some noise, dance, move around, exclaim at exciting moments, etc. We evaluated if this worked by speaking and handing out surveys to willing parents and children after concerts while they looked more closely at instruments and met musicians. 2: Because of Lyra's Family Concerts and Lyra Youth baroque orchestra, families were able to attend classical music concerts at a very low price, and participate in a very high quality arts experience.

Audiences were very appreciative, In New Ulm and Blue Earth, many people invited the Orchestra to come back in the future. The number of people who attended in Morton was low, but attendees were appreciative. One of the individuals who attended in Morton also came to the New Ulm performance to hear the concert again. Ninety-six percent of survey respondents said they were very likely or likely to attend a future Mankato Symphony Orchestra performance in their community if the opportunity arose again.","This is the second time in recent history that our orchestra has travelled to other locations and the first time that we have been the initiators. The Mankato Symphony Orchestra presented three orchestra concerts in Morton, New Ulm, and Blue Earth, all rural communities that do not have many opportunities to hear live classical music. The concerts were approximately ninety minutes long and included a post-concert question and answer/discussion session. This provided new opportunities to our musicians, who ordinarily perform only in Mankato. One musician response to the value of touring was, “Our performances improved greatly over the couple weeks [that the tour lasted]. It also helped the orchestra become more malleable as an ensemble. We had the opportunity to try things and do things differently for different performances. The repertoire choices were great to play and fit the performance opportunities well.” People who attended the performances were further engaged in a post-concert session where they could ask questions of our music director, flute soloist, and a retired music professor who is a violinist in the orchestra and the author of our program notes. The notes provided basic information about each piece, so the post-concert sessions allowed people to ask all kinds of questions and gain additional information. Orchestral performances are often one-way presentations; the discussion allowed audience members to get to know some of the performers and learn more about the pieces, instruments, and roles. 2: Executive Director Sara Buechmann chose the locations based on feasibility, receptivity, and perceived need. Time and budget constraints prevented us from travelling farther or offering more than three tour performances. Morton offered to host a concert when we were seeking venues for the Dakota Music Tour in 2010. Because it was in the same vicinity as the Upper and Lower Sioux Reservations we visited previously, and because of the Native American music programmed as part of the tour, we hoped to attract some of the same audience. New Ulm was chosen because it is a community that is near Mankato, yet seems disproportionately underserved by the Orchestra. Although several of our musicians come from New Ulm, we do not see a corresponding portion of our audience come from that region. The New Ulm performance was an attempt to reach out to that community. Blue Earth, a rural community with a thriving concert series, had approached us in the past. But without grant assistance, we had been unable to hire an orchestra to perform there.",,9532,"Other, local or private",33882,2000,"Jack Alexander, Fritz Anderson, Missy Blue, Sandy Giles, Curt, Gruhl, Peg Hanson, Art Kenyon, Jim Magnusson, Joan Norgaard, Jude Rooney, Michael Rudquist, Michael Way",,"Mankato Symphony Orchestra Association AKA Mankato Symphony Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"This tour will feature select pieces from the Music from the Heart 2011-2012 concert season and will be presented in communities with limited access to live orchestral performances.",2012-04-01,2012-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Buechmann,"Mankato Symphony Orchestra Association AKA Mankato Symphony Orchestra","523 S 2nd St PO Box 645",Mankato,MN,56001,"(507) 625-8880 ",mso@hickorytech.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Goodhue, Wabasha, Dakota",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-121,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

We had audience members fill out surveys at the end of the show, we had surveys for the presenters to give feedback, and surveys for Margo to assess the presenters. Evaluation of Diggity Dog Days with surveys distributed at each of the six shows. I had 96 respondents out of a total audience of 153 for the six shows. One of the hopes I had in presenting my puppet show was to expose more people to the art of puppetry. 34% of the respondents had never seen puppetry before, 51% had occasionally seen puppet shows and 9% had seen puppetry often. Though I did not ask directly whether people who had not seen puppetry would attend another show, I gleaned from their subjective comments that they enjoyed the show. (i.e.: “wonderful, just wonderful”; “I was really caught up in the movement.”; “It was excellent.”) As it turned out, half of the people who had seen puppetry “often” attended the show in Grand Marais where there is a strong interest in the art of puppetry. I performed the show in four very different venues; I asked the question, “Did attending this production foster a deeper connection for you with your community?” The results were that 54% responded yes, 8% responded no, and 37% were unsure or left the space blank. At the two most grass roots venues, Dream Acres Farm and Betsy’s Studio: What’s Upstairs, 65% and 75% respectively responded positively about the sense of community fostered. The Playground in Duluth, 45% responded positively, and in New York Mills 40% responded positively. As far as the response of my presenters, it was very positive, and I was told that I would be welcome to come back at Dream Acres and New York Mills. 2: Margo McCreary toured to four locations where she has never performed before.

I am a native Minnesotan who has toured all over the globe and yet, I have not played in many communities in Minnesota. I do not expect people from Austin or Braham or Duluth to drive to the Twin Cities to hear me perform. I could not accomplish my dream of sharing my music across Minnesota without the funding of the legacy grant, to reach people who are much too far from the metro to hear me play. The grant allowed me to deliver the music to the communities and, through my various outreach programs. 2. The evaluation forms - I have 331 evaluation forms from every community that we visited. A statistical breakdown of the responses is overwhelmingly positive. 2: I asked our audiences if they had ever heard me before. The percentage of new listeners created by the Legacy grant is approximately 65% according to those evaluation forms. 3. It was important for me to find presenting partners who had an interest in my music and what my original music, arrangements of traditional Christmas music and my story with focal dystonia had to offer – a high-quality arts experience along with an inspirational and motivational message in regards to overcoming hidden handicaps and/or obstacles. While seeking out presenting partners, I and my booking agent, made sure to connect with partners who had access to venues that were appropriate for a fine arts listening environment. The venues were therefore equipped with appropriate lighting and PA systems, along with handicap accessibility and a staff of employees or volunteers who were able to help in the production of a fine arts performance. Particularly, we sought out communities that continue to have a music education program in their school system. This allowed me to connect with those school districts via arts learning programs in conjunction with the public performances. 4. I looked for communities that I've never had an opportunity.

We also experienced a significant increase in attendance at two of our four Nicollet Island performances, indicating that our mission of serving low-income seniors with disabilities is being met through partnerships with many organizations that serve this population. Free Concerts for Seniors serves low-income seniors with disabilities. This community was selected because the Minnesota Pops Orchestra has a long-standing connection and commitment to these seniors. We have built relationships with many senior activity centers that serve disabled seniors, and each year they ask for more performances. We began offering this series in 1984, and it has expanded as the number of interested seniors has grown. Free Concerts for Seniors is an excellent match for this group, judging from the full houses at every performance at Nicollet Island, high attendance at other venues, enthusiastic applause, and positive comments on surveys as well as at performances. Strategies for relationship-building included e-mail invitations, close contact with Cerenity staff, and responsiveness to feedback from seniors. 2: All six performances were held as planned, and a total of about 2,800 seniors attended. Personal observation indicated the attendance of many with disabilities using walkers or other mobility devices. Attendance was estimated by taking counts at each performance, and transportation barriers were addressed with rental buses and transportation provided by senior activity centers. Three primary barriers to participation were identified: economic, transportation, and physical access. These barriers were identified by the seniors, their group leaders, and organization partners. Strategies have been developed and refined over the years to address them. All performances are free of charge. Four rental buses provided transportation to Nicollet Island, in addition to many buses and vans provided by individual care facilities. Park police assisted with drop-off and pick-up at Nicollet Island. At Elliot Park and Cerenity, performances were held near (or at) the facilities, so audience members could walk, wheelchair, or listen from their rooms or porch. Concerts were held at accessible spaces, and many seniors used wheelchairs and walkers. Volunteers also helped many seniors to their places. Large-print programs and sound amplification assist those with sight and hearing disabilities. All strategies were successful.",,26314,"Other, local or private",46594,600,"Cynthia Stokes, Larry Zimmerman, Laura Hahn, Michael Coddington, Samuel Cutter-Wilson, Lynn Erickson, Shelley Hanson, Peggy Johnson, Mark Kausch, Kathleen Kresge, Jere Lantz, Barbara Thomas, Arnold Walker, Richard Wildberger",0.25,"Minneapolis Pops Orchestra Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Free concerts for seniors will serve low-income seniors with disabilities during July 2012.

The Minnesota Music Coalition Caravan du Nord served nearly twice as many artists as we anticipated, with 92 individuals participating as solo artists and band members throughout the eight city tour. In 2012, we were approached by numerous artists who were interested in being part of our organization and project after the success of the 2011 Caravan du Nord.

Three of the eight stops on the 2nd Caravan du Nord were new partnerships for the Minnesota Music Coalition, and all of the artists on this tour (with one exception, Rogue Valley) were first time participants in this project. Many artists were performing for the first time in a fine arts venue. As one of our artists responded on her post tour survey: ""Being given the opportunity to perform in a theatre where people actually listen to the songs and the stories behind the songs is something I really appreciate."" Survey results from a post project artist survey revealed that 64% of the 2012 Caravan du Nord artists had never performed in the communities or venues in which they appeared as part of this project.

More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations. This outcome was evaluated by observing and documenting the events performed by the Minnesota Orchestra and small ensembles of Minnesota Orchestra musicians in Willmar.","The Willmar Common Chords project is a continuation of the multi-year Minnesota Orchestra Common Chords program. This initiative is connecting the Minnesota Orchestra with Greater Minnesota communities for an in-depth planning process culminating in a week of community musical events. Over a week in Willmar, the Minnesota Orchestra had the opportunity to perform three concerts and additional community events that engaged more than 3,000 people with the arts. The artist was the Minnesota Orchestra and several smaller ensembles made up of Orchestra members. Willmar was selected to be one of the initial Common Chords communities based on the community's response to an initial planning inquiry, interest in planning a major event with the Minnesota Orchestra, and the breadth and diversity of their planning team. All activities were free, except for the two evening concert performances, which had a $5 ticket price. The programs and locations were designed to be inclusive of a wide segment of the community. 2: The eighteen-member Willmar Steering Committee consisted of leaders in the arts, school district, local business, and government sectors; and many community volunteers. This broad representation connected the project to many existing groups and events, many of which are not typical presenters of touring arts events. Nearly thirty events throughout the week took place in traditional venues, such as the Willmar Arts and Education Center auditorium, and also in less traditional venues, including the Rice Hospital Garden Court, Becker Farmer’s Market, and the VFW. Activities in Willmar included: a brass quintet performance in-studio at a Willmar radio station; brass quintet performance in Garden Court at Rice Memorial Hospital; Sarah Hicks and string quartet work with 7th and 8th grade orchestras; Sarah Hicks leading a rehearsal with the Willmar Area Symphony Orchestra; Sarah Hicks and brass and string ensembles working with Willmar high school orchestras and bands; a Kinder Konzert for multiple preschools at Redeemer Lutheran Church; Sarah Hicks and a string quartet leading an Art of Conducting presentation; a Brass quintet performance at VFW Post 1639; string musicians working with 4th, 5th and 6th grade orchestras at three schools; brass musicians working with 6th, 7th and 8th grade bands; a string quartet performance at Becker Farmer’s Market; the Minnesota Orchestra jazz combo at Jazz n’ Java music café; a Kinder Konzert at the Willmar Public Library; a Young People’s Concert at Willmar Education and Arts Center featuring Peter and the Wolf; Inside the Classics concert at Willmar Education and Arts Center; and Three or Four Amigos and a classical concert at Willmar Education and Arts Center.",,108052,"Other, local or private",208052,,"Jill Bernard, Butch Roy, Nels Lennes, Molly Chase",,"Minnesota Orchestral Association AKA Minnesota Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"The Minnesota Orchestra will give three performances at the Willmar Education and Arts Center, in addition to more than 30 community events in Willmar, during the week-long Common Chords Project.",2012-04-01,2012-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Anna,Gram,"Minnesota Orchestral Association AKA Minnesota Orchestra","1111 Nicollet Mall",Minneapolis,MN,55403-2477,"(612) 371-7115 ",agram@mnorch.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-127,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","Arts Tour Minnesota funding provided resources for 16 Minnesota artists to share their talents with 1108 residents in nine counties across the state. Mixed Blood's goal was to tour six productions for 18 performances in Minnesota to promote pluralism throughout the region, serve vulnerable Minnesotans, and provoke discussion about cultural competence. This year, the theatre produced four total touring shows. Legacy funding provided for 19 performances of these plays in communities across the state. Ken LaZebnik’s Theory of Mind was selected for its sensitive, yet unsentimental portrait of a young adult on the autism spectrum. Warren C. Bowels’ African America was selected for its value to Minnesotans and for its exploration connectivity and celebration of one’s heritage. Bowels’ Dr. King’s Dream was selected for its historical significance and popularity with patrons. Syl Jones’ Daughters of Africa was included in the tour for its exuberant, music-driven celebration of African-American women’s triumphs and accomplishments. Director of Touring, Charlie Moore, has built an extensive network of Minnesota community organizations, educational institutions, theatres, civic centers, and cultural centers with which to partner. Presenting locations were selected by their need and interest and included Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington, Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, Historic Holmes Theater in Detroit Lakes, Vermillion Community College in Ely, Alexandria Technical College in Alexandria, Central Square Cultural and Civic Center in Glenwood, Pequana Playhouse in Baudette, A Center for the Arts in Fergus Falls, Regional Cultural Center in New York Mills, Delano High School in Delano, and Battle Lake High School in Battle Lake. A tour package including dramaturgical and promotional materials was provided to hosts of touring shows, in an effort for artists to best communicate with the audience how art serves a social and historical purpose. Each community contact was asked to provide Mixed Blood with their promotional strategies. Most often, organizers engaged audiences via on-site signage, posters, newspaper columns, social media and newsletters. Public performances were often held for adults in towns where students experienced the same plays in school. This was done to give families the opportunity to see the same plays, linking arts to whole communities. 2: Mixed Blood brought plays to venerable, culturally isolated Minnesota communities who have not previously had access to these specific tour offerings. Public performance organizers and audiences were surveyed at each Arts Tour performance to assess their objective and subjective perspectives. 35% of respondents had never been to an arts activity at the performance site, meaning they were exposed to Minnesota art in a new, local location for the first time. All organizers rated the tour's performances and their interactions with Mixed Blood personnel as very good or excellent. These plays are an extension of the Educational Touring program that brings inclusive, challenging plays to schools around the greater Midwest. Artistic Director Jack Rueler selects plays according to their ability to be accessible to many, while portraying stories that may not typically be shown on the stage. Theatre staff works with community hosts to create promotional and dramaturgical tools to engage target communities. Actors answer audience post-performance questions about the plays or about their methods as actors. Surveys are provided to hosts and audience members in order to provide communities with the opportunity to evaluate their experiences.",,11818,"Other, local or private",56853,15144,"Ron McKinley, Tabitha Montgomery, Eric Hyde, Molly Bott, Warren Bowles, Deb Bryan, Yolanda Cotterall, Sheila Gore Dennis, Shalini Gupta, K David Hirschey, David Ginter, Nancy Koo, Robert Lunning, Susan P.

The community liaison met with leaders and community members of various community, religious, and arts organizations to begin discussing the important cultural issues for those groups. Those meetings led to community dialogs held to engage people in discussions around arts, culture, access, and barriers to arts participation. Each dialog was rooted in art, beginning with a reading or a performance, and with a diversity of panelists sharing their perspectives on the dialog themes. Dialog discussions were recorded and participants were surveyed as to the relevance of the experience. Survey responses helped shape the subsequent discussions and other community events. Writing workshop participants were surveyed to learn their impressions, experiences, and outcomes. 2: The barrier of cost was addressed in that the events supported by this Access grant were free with a suggested donation. For families with young children, Mizna held an Arabic Story Hour and did a book giveaway. Participants received a book and CD set from a Jordanian publisher of classic Arabic children's songs, beautifully illustrated. The barrier of geography was addressed by holding dialogs, writing workshops, and other events in central locations for the communities, including familiar spaces like library community rooms. All events included modest food and drink for participants free of charge. Also, for people who may have had the perceived barrier that the arts is not for them,"" this program has had an long-lasting result of engaging a number of people who have now returned for various Mizna Access events, and have submitted writing to our literary journal.

The musical performances included many genres including: bluegrass, and British Isles folk music, flash mob dance experience. For nearly all who participated, this was their first flash mob experience.

The perceived barrier that arts are not inclusive was overcome with the informal surroundings and all participants responded positively to their experience. 77% of participants responded this was their first experience with a new artform. 2) We used written surveys at the end of each arts learning event to determine acceptance of the art form taught and whether it was a first time experience and if the new skills learned would be used in the future. 95% of the Boys and Girls Club participants responded a 1(being best) and two on a scale of four on how they rated the activity.",,,,22320,1800,"Trisha McCarthy, Elisa Korentayer, Bill Warner, Manley Nichols, John Husband, Amy Sobieski, Vicki Chepulis, Alice Martin, Patrick Kilby, Jerry Mevissen, Nathan Welte, Tammy Olson, Dorothy Eskili, Peder Butenhoff.",0.1,"New York Mills Arts Retreat AKA New York Mills Regional Cultural Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"New York Mills Regional Cultural Center will provide free and accessible performing arts and arts learning projects to 3,000 low-income residents of rural Minnesota, through the East Otter Tail County Fair and the Wadena County Fair, in July of 2012.",2012-03-05,2012-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jamie,Robertson,"New York Mills Arts Retreat AKA New York Mills Regional Cultural Center","24 Main Ave N PO Box 246","New York Mills",MN,56567,"(218) 385-3339 ",jamie@kulcher.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Otter Tail, Wadena",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-153,"Abner Arauza: Interim assistant director of intercultural affairs, Concordia College, Moorhead.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","1. This year we succeeded in reaching 615 audience members, which was a 78% capacity. Of those who responded to our surveys, 52% reside outside of the central metro (in a suburb of Minneapolis or St Paul, in Western Wisconsin, or were visiting from another state). 2. We keep very detailed records of each tour through data from the box office and also from surveys filled out by audience members. After the tour, we analyze the data and compare it with previous years to find trends and to find places to make improvements or changes to better serve the audiences and communities served by the tour. We also meet with the garage-hosts, both individually and at a post-tour dinner held at an Off-Leash Area board member's home, where we discuss in detail each hosts experience in gathering an audience, identifying the strengths of their activities, and defining ways to improve for future tours. 3. Our targeted group was audiences in the suburban communities of Minneapolis/St Paul because of their geographic/financial/cultural barriers to access national level performing arts events like ours. 4. We felt our activity was an ideal match, because of a demonstrated interest by this group in our activities, because of the word-of-mouth in these communities from previous tours, and on a practical level because many homes in the suburbs have large garages. 5. Our program is designed so that the tour Hosts are the principal persons who gather their community for the event. We meet individually with each host to discuss and devise a marketing plan to maximize community participation based on each Host's immediate neighborhood, and their own personalities. A new strategy we implemented this year was to develop Co-Hosts, whereby each regular host formally partners with a select few neighbors to share the responsibility of gathering an audience for their event. This worked very well. 2: 1. We overcame our targeted audience's barriers to participation, including geographic, economic, and perceptive barriers. We also created an opportunity for more Minnesotans to participate in the arts, especially those who would not normally participate in a performing arts experience such as ours. 2. We evaluated the extent to which we achieved our outcomes through: one-on-one interactions between cast and the audience after the shows in the intimate and informal setting of the post-performance gatherings; building personal relationships with the garage Hosts and their Co-Hosts; evaluating the detailed audience surveys; and reviewing box office statistics. We also receive a number of unsolicited social media posts, emails, letters, and coverage from the media. 3. The barriers are geographic, economic, and cultural. The barriers were identified initially through audience development and research, through organizational planning to develop a community-based program organic to Off-Leash Area, and were reaffirmed by having conducted the program for the past three years. They are real barriers. 4. Off-Leash Area's Artistic Directors, Board of Directors, the Host, the Administrative Assistant, and cast were involved in devising strategies to eliminate the barriers. 5. Examples: Marketing through social networking and giving Hosts pre-made marketing materials have been successful strategies. Having Pay-What-You-Can,"" or ""Suggested Donation"" entry fees allow more individuals to attend the performances. This year, developing the Co-Host partnerships not only helped reduce the individual Hosts' responsibility of gathering an audience, but also brought more people into the core relationship-building aspect of the program, and brought in more audience.""",,11430,"Other, local or private",31430,2370,"John Munger, Siana Goodwin, Megan Ellingboe, Nina Ebbighausen, Jeffrey Morrison, Jennifer Ilse, Paul Herwig",,"Off-Leash Area: Contemporary Performance Works AKA Off-Leash Area","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Off-Leash Area's project continues and expands our Neighborhood Garage Tour program,touring original contemporary performance throughout the metro suburbs with 30 performances in ten communities, reaching approximately 1,000 people.",2012-03-05,2012-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paul,Herwig,"Off-Leash Area: Contemporary Performance Works AKA Off-Leash Area","3540 34th Ave S",Minneapolis,MN,55406-2733,"(612) 724-7372 ",offleash@offleasharea.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Washington",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-154,"Abner Arauza: Interim assistant director of intercultural affairs, Concordia College, Moorhead.

Further, the art was presented in conjunction with earth science (wetland ecosystems). Eighteen 5' x 5' collaborative artworks were produced. 2) Student learning was measured through sharing in the classroom, the physical art, and written reflections where students chose their favorite fiber art and told why; they identified the steps in a fiber process; they wrote of a world culture and explained why they thought it was important to the people; they linked art to nature. Teachers and education coordinators provided ongoing feedback and participated in a qualitative/quantitative evaluation (results mailed). 2: 1) More than 500 students learned fiber arts through hands-on lessons and learned about world cultures.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","On Oct 18–28, 2012, Ragamala hosted master Bharatanatyam dancer/choreographer Alarmel Valli for an 11-day residency with her 4-person orchestra and light designer. Activities included: a public performance at the Cowles Center accompanied by short lectures on the poetry/history of Bharatanatyam and her unique contemporary perspective; a screening of a documentary film about her life, career, and aesthetic followed by a reception/conversation with the audience; and daily classes with Ragamala. Despite being seriously ill with the flu, her activities were highly lauded. Minnesotans got an opportunity to learn about Bharatanatyam, an inside look at Ms. Valli’s singular aesthetic, and insight into the way an ancient form—in a master’s hands—can be contemporary and vital. Ragamala artists got an in-depth learning experience, new skills as performers/teachers, and new insight to pass on to local students. Outcomes were evaluated through written surveys, email/Facebook, and meetings with staff/board. Because of the film element of this project, we made an effort to reach out to film audiences. We sought advice from local documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and, on her recommendation, placed posters/flyers at independent movie theaters (Lagoon, Uptown, Edina, Bell Museum etc.) and film departments at the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and reached out to the Independent Filmmaker Project. Audiences exceeded our expectations and included many new to Ragamala. We had intended to offer a “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” master class by Ms. Valli geared toward Minnesota dancers/choreographers working in other forms of dance. Based on past feedback, in which local artists expressed interest in taking a master class from Ms. Valli, we reached out to dance companies and dance schools via emails and personal phone calls. We invited them to the free class and offered free tickets to the film. Regretfully, due to her illness, Ms. Valli ultimately cancelled the class. 30 dance artists/students took advantage of the free tickets. 2: Attendance at Ms. Valli’s performance was 442. Attendance at the documentary film was 129, with approximately 50 staying for the post-screening reception and conversation. Audiences at both events exceeded expectations. Audience surveys and observation indicated that many were not regular attendees at Ragamala events, demonstrating that we were successful in engaging more Minnesotans. As noted above, in addition to our regular promotional activities (mailings, posters, emails, Facebook), we specifically reached out to documentary film audiences and local dance artists. While we ultimately had to cancel the “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” class, our outreach to local dance companies and schools allowed us to get the word out personally to the dance community about Ms. Valli’s residency, and encourage dance artists to take advantage of the learning opportunities at the Cowles. This project served 577 Minnesotans. Strategies were developed by Ragamala staff/board in consultation with documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and colleagues in the dance field who helped us reach their constituencies. We reached out to Indian American youth, for whom the opportunity to experience the highest quality of their own classical traditions is rare. Our success was cited in the Star Tribune, with a photo of Ms. Valli surrounded by young Indian girls waiting for her autograph: www.startribune.com/printarticle/?id=175431981. We reached out to local community-based Bharatanatyam teachers/amateur performers to plan a “Master Class for Bharatanatyam Dancers.” Local teacher Suchi Sairam offered to host it at her studio. Between her students, Ragamala students, and community dancers, we expected attendance of 30-35. Regretfully, due to her illness, Ms. Valli cancelled the class, but many dancers and students took advantage of the opportunity to learn from her activities at the Cowles.",,5400,"Other, local or private",39700,,"Aparna Ramaswamy, Briar Andresen, Nithya Balakrishnan, Janine Munson, Padma Naidu, Rachel Soffer, Noel Stave, Sunitha Varadhan, James Wilkinson",,"Ragamala Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Ragamala will present a series of classes by master artist Alarmel Valli, to introduce new students to Bharatanatyam, the classical dance of South India, and to provide opportunities for enrichment/advanced study for experienced dancers and teachers.",2012-03-01,2013-02-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tamara,Nadel,"Ragamala Dance","711 W Lake St Ste 309",Minneapolis,MN,55408-2975,"(612) 964-9213 ",tamara@ragamala.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-232,"Shari Aronson: Co-founder, Z Puppets Rosenschnoz.; Alison Good: Former commercial artist, educator and administrator; active community volunteer; Zhimin Guan: Professor of art, Minnesota State University Moorhead.; Karla Nweje: Dancer, choreographer, writer, and educator.; Gretchen Pick: Artistic director, Young Dance.

A Choral Singing Master Class was held in eight communities. Members of The Rose Ensemble coached adult and student choirs on choral music in an effort to improve their skills and techniques in choral singing. Every individual that participated in a Master Class was eligible to receive a complimentary concert ticket. Post-Concert Meet and Greet sessions were held whereby all of the musicians chatted with the audience members about the music on the program and answered any questions pertaining to the audience's concert experience. 2: Rose Ensemble artists were able to perform and provide Master Classes in cities not previously visited by our group: Ely; Hibbing; Staples; Little Falls; and Detroit Lakes. This represents an expansion of our previous touring through the addition of five cities not previously visited by our artists. Silver Bay was also a new addition to the annual tour, although we had previously visited that city for other residency activities.

Additionally, of the arts learners who had previous theatre experience, 70% of those experiences occurred at their school, thus this project increased the venues in which youth could have arts learning opportunities. To measure the outcomes, arts learners took a pre-program survey collecting data on the frequency and venue of arts learning experiences before coming to Woodland Hills and arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills. 2: Before participating in this project, 96% of students had never had an in depth theatre experience and only 38% of students had any experience in theatre. Following the completion of the project, 21% of participants said they would “definitely” participate in theatre outside of Woodland Hills, 32% said they were “interested”, and 42% said they “might” participate. Only 5% stated that they would “definitely not” participate in theatre in the future. It is our conclusion that this project introduced students to a new arts opportunity that many will pursue in the future.

One second goal was for participants to achieve a greater appreciation for the arts. Our independent evaluator conducted a focus group, and responses indicate that participants came to Doc U already possessing considerable appreciation for media arts, and that their appreciation has grown.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations. We tallied tickets and attendance. In addition, we created a questionnaire about the experience that local performers, venue operators, and audience members completed.","A total of six performers and one production manager toured a site-specific production of The Cherry Orchard to five rural communities in the state of Minnesota. Our goal was to perform six shows in each of the five communities (for a total of thirty shows) with an 80% attendance rate. Due to the popularity of the production, we ended up performing thirty-five shows and surpassed our ticket sale goals by 116 tickets. Many shows were performed for standing room audiences. In addition, we surpassed our workshop participant numbers by twenty-three. Finally, because of the strong caliber of performers that attended the auditions, we increased the number of local performers used in the production from twenty to thirty-one. The five communities chosen were Blue Earth, Worthington, Taylors Falls, Little Falls and Kenyon. These communities were chosen because each contained a publically owned historical home that was built around the time The Cherry Orchard was written and performed. These communities were also chosen because of their high rate of house and farm foreclosures in recent years, a central theme of the play. 2: Our goal was to introduce site-specific work to areas of the state that lack access to unique programming and tend to offer traditional theater productions such as musicals and popular comedies. Our greatest challenge was to fill the venues with audiences, who might be intimidated by productions they were unfamiliar with. By reaching out to community members through newspapers, radio advertisements and interviews, and simply conversing with locals while dining at area restaurants and shopping at stores, we were able to perform our shows and exceed the target audience numbers that we estimated, often times performing to standing-room-only houses. We performed for people who attended from seventy-nine different cities; many drove a long distance to see the show. The community leaders were instrumental to the success of this project. Members in the cast were great resources for providing access to materials to make the production happen. If we were in need of a truck, a prop, publicity assistance, ticket promoters, or costume assistance, the community performers were extremely generous in helping us.

Students and families at Sheridan Arts Magnet experienced, created and connected in school arts learning with artists in the greater community. This took place during the residencies, artist and student performances. These were evaluated through discussion between artists, arts staff and classroom teachers. Analysis of student work guided these discussions. Overall, lessons were more relevant and interesting, the program to improve social skills through drumming was implemented in lower grades, students have more positive outlets to express their views and feelings and parents and families are more involved in their children's education. Though these issues continue to need to be addressed, the arts have begun the work. Many different strategies were used. A classroom artist in residence model was used for much of the work. Smaller groups were put together to work with the artists in concentrated bursts of time. In some occasions the artists performed for the school. The Sheridan staff was trained in dance/writing and African drumming methods. The staff was resistant to training and I see limited evidence of them incorporating arts strategies into their classroom. The music department is an exception. The music teachers have incorporated African drumming into the general music curriculum. Some classroom teachers were resistant to arts residencies. Part of the problem was the amount of time and staff change from when the grant was written to when it was implemented. In the future I will be very careful about which classroom teachers have an artist in residence and do some teaching about how to have the experience work well. 2: Sheridan students were engaged in the arts! The Sheridan art crawl in May 2012 featured many performances and artist/student produced films including two films, Afro-Cuban dance and African drumming performance. The African drumming was ongoing from March 2012 through February 2013. Karla Nweje, dancer in residence picked up in the fall and worked with first, second and third grade classes including a second grade dance literacy integration that culminated in a student performance interspersed between a professional performance. Folk music and dance were sung and performed by kindergartners in the fall. African drumming was integrated into the general music curriculum while developing a permanent African drumming group. Rubrics were developed for some of the middle school arts projects. With the younger children the experiences were assessed through reflection in an arts planner. Almost every student at Sheridan experienced the arts through arts creation, performance and response. Sheridan has a high poverty, highly mobile school population who can feel that arts are for others."" Specific perceived barriers include that the arts are done by other people and have no relevance to the student's survival. The arts staff is not culturally reflective of the students nor do they live in the neighborhood. Seyer Frey and Robin McGaliard Nelson are neighborhood artists. Students can see their work by the school. Sowah Mensah, Karla Nweje and Maya Washington are artists that reflect the racial makeup of the school. Students were able to see artists that look like them and have these artists teach how art is for everyone, including them There ended up being two filmmaking projects-Seyer Frey addressed the filmmaking project from a technical filmmakers point of view, Maya Washington addressed it from an actors and cultural point of view. The students were much more engaged working with Maya. In that case the cultural artist was more effective than the neighborhood artist.""",,,,41946,,"Alberto Monserrate, Jenny Arneson, Richard Mammen, Rebecca Gagnon, Tracine Asberry, Carla Bates, Kim Ellison, Josh Reimnitz, Hussein Samatar",,"Sheridan Arts Magnet","K-12 Education","Arts Learning",,"This project will invigorate arts learning for Sheridan students and teachers through in-depth classroom artist residencies.

We accomplished the goals of this project by: A) Presenting two 3-hour storytelling workshops in each of 14 communities in the Southeastern Libraries Cooperating, Pioneerland, and Plum Creek library systems. Those workshop locations and dates are listed on the Story Academy Evaluation Collection Form, attached with this report. B) Creating a website with 30 video storytelling performances and 60 minutes of online storytelling workshops. This website is active and can be found at www.StoryLibrary.Org. We also accomplished all six of the measurable goals set forth on our grant application. 2. We evaluated our outcomes with participant evaluations after each workshop and instructor observation and evaluation of participant storytelling skills. 2: 1. With this project, we reached 265 adults with high-quality storytelling workshops. Approximately half of workshops participants were either teachers or librarians who, according to surveys, will use the storytelling and public speaking skills from this workshop in their work with both adults and children. In addition, this project created an online story performance and workshop video website. This has given teachers and librarians across Minnesota access to high quality story performances and workshops that they can use in their classroom teaching. 2. We used surveys to determine if more Minnesotans were engaged in arts learning through this project. Over 90% of participants report not attending a storytelling workshop before the Minnesota Rural Storytelling Academy. This is probably due to a lack of arts workshops in rural Minnesota.

Most art teachers are not trained in textile art techniques and don't have access to bring the tools and equipment into their classrooms.

Teachers at Sobriety chose the poetry unit to combine with fiber art because in the past poetry has been very difficult for students to connect with. By adding the art component, the students were able to study poetry from a different perspective and increase both their engagement with the literature as well as the art component.

We were able to bring six taiko drumming residencies to five schools and one assisted living center. These six residencies brought unique arts learning programming to 1,575 people in the state of Minnesota. To our knowledge, Mu Performing Arts is the only organization in Minnesota offering residencies in the Japanese taiko drumming style known as kumi-daiko. 2. At the end of each residency, an evaluation form is sent to school/partner staff and/or teachers, who are asked to rate the residency and provide comments on positive aspects and suggestions for improvement. In addition, our teaching artists are asked for their feedback to determine areas for improvement and success stories. 3. We contacted seven organizations prior to applying for the grant - six schools and one assisted living facility. Five of the groups were longstanding or strong new partners to our taiko programs, one was a former partner who had not been able to bring Mu Daiko back to their school in recent years, and one was a new partner looking for arts programming. Of these, the five longstanding/strong new partners committed to the project, while the other two were not able to commit due to lack of school staff support. However, we were able to create a new partnership through Project SUCCESS with Northeast Middle School and hope to return again in the future. 2: 1. Real and perceived barriers to arts participation were overcome through this project and 1,575 Minnesotans were exposed to a valuable arts learning experience. 2. Through discussions with residency partners and teaching artist feedback, we identified barriers and evaluated success in mitigating them. 3. Real barriers included special needs (cognitive and physical), barriers, and financial barriers. Perceived barriers included perception vs. reality of what participants were able to accomplish from both partner staff and participants themselves. These were identified by Mu leadership staff, teaching artists, and partner staff such as Project SUCCESS facilitators or teachers. 4. Strategies were developed by Mu leadership staff. Rick Shiomi, Mu's Artistic Director, has over 20 years of experience in the arts and arts learning. Iris Shiraishi has a background in music therapy and over 15 years of experience as a teaching artist. 5.

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. Tiger Lion Arts used the following methods/tools to evaluate the program: collaborative meetings with puppet artists, teachers, and In the Heart of the Beast administrative staff, during which successes and suggestions for improvement were discussed; puppet residency surveys, completed by classroom teachers, who worked side by side with the artists; and one survey each, about the puppet and music residencies, completed by all students in grades 3-5. We have received statements from the school principals and music teachers, as well as 175 thank-you letters from kids that refer to various parts of the project. The parades and concert are documented in videos and photographs that reflect the Dragons Project's success.","The Dragons Project was a huge success. It offered students at Green Central Park School and Northport Elementary the unique opportunity to see a musical premiere and then work with artists and musicians who had been involved in creating the show. Individuals from Puppet Farm Arts, In the Heart of the Beast, and the Minnesota Boychoir were among the teaching artists, who also included Dragons director/Tiger Lion Arts executive director Markell Kiefer, composer/musical director Laurie MacGregor, and flutist Julie Johnson. The puppet residencies ended with two school parades directed by Kiefer. A total of 1,018 K-5 and 7th grade students worked with artists to create dragon puppets with recycled materials. The sophistication of the puppets increased with each grade level, and the classroom teachers worked alongside the artists and marched in the parades with their students. Five hundred of these students performed in the May 24 concert. The puppet parades and concert were free and attended by families, friends, and most staff members from each school. With a goal to impact every student, MacGregor presented the project to faculty. She suggested ways to integrate the dragon theme and Jack Prelutsky's book of poems, from which the musical was adapted, into existing curricula, thereby working within the schools' curriculum requirements. English as a Second Language teachers worked with English learners to help them understand Prelutsky's vocabulary. MacGregor worked with the music teachers to align the music residencies with their schedules, and with the principals to fit the puppet residencies into the schools' frameworks. The music residencies resulted in a joint school performance conducted by MacGregor. Five hundred children, accompanied by the show's original Dragons Band, sang the Dragons score. The culminating events, students’ excitement and pride, enthusiastic audience responses, and ensuing feelings of community illustrated the project’s success. In addition, we incorporated the create/perform/respond model, enabling children to understand and appreciate multiple art forms; acquire skills in vocal techniques, performance, and puppet and mask-making; present their artwork and perform music; and reflect on their activities. 2: The barriers to participation were identified by residency designer Laurie MacGregor, Green Central Park and Northport music teachers Corina Miller and Kristin Hiykel, and Northport principal Patrick Smith. The barriers were real and included a lack of funds for special events, transportation, artist residencies, and materials. Strategies to eliminate barriers included fundraising, collaboration, and grantwriting. All worked well: MacGregor organized two fundraisers, with entertainment provided by Dragons collaborators Circus Juventas and the Minnesota Boychoir, and MacGregor wrote four grant applications. Three grant awards and additional funds enabled us to offer the program at no cost to two schools, providing the following: theater tickets; bus transportation with wheelchair accommodation; residencies with six puppet, one theater, and three music artists; art supplies; and the opportunity for children to perform with twelve professional musicians.",,13901,"Other, local or private",62617,5400,"Markell Kiefer, Tyson Forbes Lien, Dianne Lev, Marney Brooks (d.

Southwest was replaced by the Perpich Center for Arts Education High School (Golden Valley). TU Dance provided in-school dance classes in March 2012. Through these collaborations, we invited diverse students to continue their dance education at TU Dance Center during our spring, summer, and fall classes. We projected engaging 180 students via in-school classes; we engaged 302 students (68% over goal). We projected that 25 youth would go on to participate in our spring 2012 classes; we had 19 student participants. Of those, we projected 15 would go on to our Summer Intensive; we have eleven of the students continue through the summer. We projected that ten would go on to fall classes; we had ten students go on through fall. We surveyed students throughout. 2: We identified barriers faced by each participating student on a case by case basis, using a broader strategy informed by community and target constituent input, as well as observations about local dance participation and early participation at TU Dance Center. As a result, we provided free access for all project participants (in-school classes and classes at the Center), and subsidized transportation for those who needed it. We surveyed students after in-school classes, and asked teachers if they would be interested in future collaborations (all replied yes).

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","TU Dance completed touring activities in Bigfork (April, 2012), Red Wing (October, 2012) and Worthington (March, 2013). Each tour included a public performance and community education, outreach and engagement activities. In Bigfork (The Edge Center for the Arts), activities included a public performance, a performance for students, two master classes at the Reif Center in Grand Rapids, and an open community class for all ages. In Red Wing (Sheldon Theatre), activities included a public performance for adults and youth, a master class at Shoreline Dance Studio, a community class for all ages at the YMCA, and a lecture/demonstration at Tower View Alternative High School. In Worthington (Memorial Auditorium), activities included a public performance and two student performances. We measured our success in achieving our intended outcomes by tracking participation and attendance in each tour community, obtaining feedback from service constituents, and collecting evaluation forms. TU Dance toured to Bigfork, Red Wing, and Worthington. We returned to Bigfork for a second year based on the enthusiastic response to our first visit the prior year, and the community's expressed interest in an expanded residency that involved more community engagement. Our strategies included outreach to adults, engaging all local students and area homeschoolers, and classes for students from the nearby community of Grand Rapids at the Reif Performing Arts Center. The Blandin Foundation was a partner for the public performance. The touring project represented TU Dance's first visits to Red Wing and Worthington. Red Wing was selected based on mutual interest, and the Sheldon Theatre's establishment of a new annual dance series. The activities were promoted to the nearby community of Rochester as well, from which the Sheldon Theatre draws some audience. Our strategies to engage the local community included collaboration with the local YMCA, local dance schools such as Shoreline Dance Studio, and Dance Dana and Co. located in nearby Lake City, and Tower View Alternative High School. TU Dance chose to collaborate with Worthington based on the diversity of its population (over 50% people of color) and its initial enthusiasm for hosting our company. Our visit included community outreach through the Nobles County Integration Collaborative, master classes for local students through Katy Williams Prunty's Dance Academy and Prairie Elementary School (among others). Educational activities and outreach efforts coordinated with our host venues/contacts proved to be effective strategies for engaging a broader and more diverse population in these communities beyond public performances. 2: The project introduced TU Dance to the communities of Red Wing and Worthington for the first time, while building on successful engagement of populations in and around Bigfork from the prior year. Most basically, we evaluated the success of achieving this outcome by completing the tours as proposed in the new communities of Red Wing and Worthington. We collected attendance and participation information, and conducted evaluations in each community (including a partner evaluation form and discussions). A total of 1,331 people attended TU Dance public and student performances. (350 in Bigfork, 117 in Red Wing, and 864 in Worthington). More specifically, in Red Wing, we engaged 27 teens in a master class, 14 high school students in a lecture/demonstration, and nine people ages 10-60 in a community class. In Worthington, TU Dance held a public performance engaging 199 audience members, and a student performance with lecture/demonstration for 665 k-12 students and teachers. TU Dance is among ten national roster artists represented by Pentacle Danceworks agency, and Pentacle worked in collaboration with us and the project venue partners to develop the touring activities. Having previously worked with the Edge Center in Bigfork, we were able to develop a solid plan for broader and deeper engagement with that community and populations in nearby Grand Rapids. It is part of the Edge Center's strategic plan to explore touring opportunities with Minnesota performing groups, and specifically to explore reciprocity with other participants from the first round of the ArtsLab program (both Edge Center and TU Dance were among participants). The strategic plan and its priorities were developed by Edge Center staff and board, conveying input gathered from the local community. Edge Center staff leveraged their connections and networks to develop the other community collaborations around TU Dance's visit. The Sheldon Theatre in Red Wing sought TU Dance, among others, to launch a new dance series at their facility. The vision for this series was developed by the Sheldon Theatre's staff and supported by its board. They also were able to leverage their many community connections to develop the activities in and around Red Wing that TU Dance participated in during our visit. The Memorial Auditorium in Worthington was recently renovated, and they sought to bring arts groups representing artists of diverse backgrounds to engage their highly diverse local population. They are working to develop a local audience for dance, but are in the very early stages of doing so. The community and venue face considerable economic challenges that make the effort difficult. However, efforts to engage local youth through schools was successful.",,11724,"Other, local or private",42274,1343,"Toni Pierce-Sands, Uri Sands, Marcia Murray, Leif Anderson, Roderick Ferguson, Priscilla Pierce Goldstein, Zoe Sealy, Kelly Greene Vagts",,"TU Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"TU Dance will tour to Red Wing, Worthington, and Bigfork to present public performances and partner with communities to conduct master classes, reach underserved populations,and engage local audiences.",2012-04-01,2013-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Abdo,Sayegh,"TU Dance","PO Box 40405","St Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 699-6055 ",Abdo.sayegh@tudance.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Itasca, Goodhue, Nobles, Ramsey",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-140,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

In addition, our grant activities helped Iraqi American Reconciliation Project connect with new Iraqi families, expanding their community and the individuals they will serve in the future. Iraqi American Reconciliation Project and Veterans Book Project worked together throughout the year, and evaluated this work in various ways. This success was measured through our communication with each other all along. For example, at the end of the workshop activities and before the next phase of promotion, lead Iraqi American Reconciliation Project contact, Luke Wilcox and I met outside the busy, practical interaction we normally have just to keep the project running, and reflected on our work process. We discussed the future, too - ongoing ways Iraqi American Reconciliation Project could sustain the bookmaking and exhibiting. The second way we measure the success of this relationship is through the fact that Iraqi American Reconciliation Project has initiated ongoing projects with Veterans Book Project. Iraqi American Reconciliation Project has written a National Endowment for the Arts grant and several others that include the Veterans Book Project. They want to continue exhibiting the Veterans Book Project books on their own throughout the United States, and also try to take over the workshop to make more books. They have hosted their own Veterans Book Project book reading receptions in addition to the ones described here. They have done radio interviews together with Veterans Book Project authors, and use the Veterans Book Project books for their own fundraising and promotional purposes to show what their organization has done. The books demonstrate the urgency and reasons to support their important work with Iraqi/American reconciliation. 2: We measured by the number of Iraqis who made books. Eleven Iraqi authors total - higher than anticipated, despite very real barriers: Language. Transportation. Safety. Safety comes with anonymity and making their experience public threatens this safety. Time was a barrier, especially for Iraqi authors. The student authors were often responsible for caring for their younger siblings. Adults, too. For two young Iraqi female authors, once into book-making process, we faced cultural and generational barriers where fathers reconsidered allowing their daughters to finish their books. One substantial way we addressed these barriers was taking TIME. Getting to know the authors’ family members. Picking up authors, dropping them off. Haller revised the workshop structure to meet nights, weekends. We often met individually instead of group.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","Zeitgeist presented our production, For the Birds by Victor Zupanc and Kevin Kling, in four Minnesota communities throughout Minnesota. For the Birds was developed by Zeitgeist, Kling, and Zupanc in 2010 and has been the main vehicle through which we introduce our work to greater Minnesota audiences ever since. In each community we visited through this project, we encountered audiences a bit familiar with Kling but very unfamiliar with the work of Victor Zupanc and Zeitgeist. In each community, our production was an artistic success and increased the visibility of all of our artists. We evaluated the artistic success of our production based on the feedback of our artists, discussions with our presenters, and feedback from our audience members. Our artistic team gathered this feedback from discussions with presenters and audience members after each performance. For the Birds toured to Menahga (Menahga High School), Park Rapids (Calvary Lutheran Church), Alexandria (Theatre L’Homme Dieu), and Owatonna (Owatonna Arts Center). Created with the small community presenter in mind, For the Birds is highly accessible to a wide range of audience members and is technically hassle-free for venues to present. Plus, with the inclusion of Kevin Kling as our featured performer, For the Birds is easy to promote to audiences. For the Birds is the most accessible new music show that Zeitgeist has developed, and we have been using it to introduce our work to small communities throughout Minnesota. We selected each community because we had not had the opportunity to perform in each before and are seeking to develop audiences throughout Minnesota. With regard to engaging audiences, we worked with each of our presenting organizations to create awareness of For the Birds within the community. In each community, posters were displayed throughout the business district and local papers or radio stations featured interviews with our artists. These measures worked very well. One of the advantages of presenting in a small community is that media is accessible to the community and creating awareness for local happenings is manageable and relatively inexpensive. After each performance, Zeitgeist and our artists were available to discuss the work and answer questions. Audiences were receptive and engaged and we note that several from each performance either signed up for our email list or our Facebook page. 2: Through this project, Zeitgeist visited four communities that we had not visited previously. In doing so, we were hoping to begin building connections with audiences in each community and strengthen our relationship with each presenter. Our goal was to visit each community with an accessible and attractive production that would attract audiences and be easy for our presenters to present and promote. Each of our presenters has indicated that they would have Zeitgeist back again, and we even have nascent plans to develop new programming with one of them. As to audiences, discussions with audience members after each show indicated that they found the show delightful and deeply meaningful and that they would look forward to another visit by Zeitgeist to their community. At each location, several audience members did sign up for our mailing list or Facebook page. More remarkably, we’ve had audience members that first encountered us on this For the Birds tour attend Zeitgeist events at Studio Z in St Paul. We weren’t anticipating that positive outcome. On the other hand, we were hoping to attract more audience members on our first trip to each of these communities. While some of this shortfall was because we made a change in our project that placed us in smaller communities, we still had hoped for 25%-35% more people in each location with the exception of Alexandria. In each community, the presenter had a great deal of input into what our activities would entail. We were available for outreach activities, and each venue elected to include a post-concert discussion and reception as part of their activities. In Alexandria, we were able to make this a formal question and answer affair, but in the other communities, this interaction was more informal.",,4671,"Other, local or private",21731,2350,"Heather Barringer, Jeff Gram, Brett Wartchow, Philip Blackburn, Craig Sinard, Pat OÆKeefe, Carleton Macy, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Zachary Crockett",0.13,Zeitgeist,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"Zeitgeist will tour For the Birds, a new work for chamber ensemble and narration, with music by Victor Zupanc and text by Kevin Kling, to two communities in Minnesota.",2012-04-01,2013-03-31,"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",,"Wadena, Hubbard, Steele, Douglas",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-142,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

Through the grant, five Minnesota ceramic artists were able to bring their artistry and work to five communities and over 2,500 individuals around the state. Because of the interest expressed, we added a fifth site to the tour. Attendance at these sites was significant with attendees traveling some distance to take part. By using both the video presentation and the presence of a noted ceramics artist, the public was able to see the depth and breadth of the ceramics tradition in Minnesota as well as experience firsthand the work of the artist. In the returned surveys, 70% of attendees at one opening indicated that they were introduced to new artists. 74% would like to see additional ceramics exhibits at the venues used by the tour. 2. Evaluation was carried out through an evaluation/survey instrument presented at each of the gallery openings/receptions/demonstrations. Evaluations consisted of a series of eleven questions designed to gather information on from participants on their interaction with ceramic art and their perception of the event and exhibit. Participants were asked to fill out the evaluation and return. Surveys were collected and data compiled by the Anoka Ramsey Community College Research Department. 2: 1. The ceramic artists on tour had an opportunity to visit locations and share background on their work where they would not normally be able to visit. Ceramics artists, while sharing a rich tradition in Minnesota, do not generally have the resources to cover the expenses of touring to different parts of the state. Additionally, the artists had an opportunity to meet with the public and share on a more personal level their vision and work. This included an exhibition, opening reception and gallery talk and demonstrations in each of the locations. The tour broadened the understanding of ceramics artistry and exposed a greater part of the state to this tradition. 62% of attendees responding to surveys from three of the openings stated that the information at the workshop was completely new to them. 2.

These outcomes were monitored and evaluated through informal observations, a reflection journal kept by artists, pre and post surveys given to staff and artists, as well as planning with Lifeworks staff after each eight week session to refine the next set of classes based on feedback. Note we changed the name of the project to ArtLife. ArtStart selected Lifeworks because they came to us initially to develop an 8-week visual arts program inspired by nature for a group of eight adults with developmental disabilities. The model worked very well and both organizations wanted to deepen the relationship to reach other Lifework adults, hence, the ArtLife project. Some activities and art media worked better than others, as participants had such a wide range of abilities and interests. The key to success for artists was the ability to individualize instruction, be flexible and come prepared with one than one idea or medium. It was made very clear by Lifeworks staff that an artist could not miss a session, as maintaining routine and relationship were essential to the well-being of participants. The most challenging aspect of the entire program was the lack of an adequate art facility at two sites. 2: ArtStart's ArtLife project achieved one outcome in this area which was to celebrate and share each participant's unique artistic expression within the Lifeworks family and the greater community. This outcome was evaluated primarily through observation and documentation of participant art exhibited at each site. In addition, ArtLife participants' art work will be showcased at Lifework's annual gala in late April 2013, which is attended each year by 1,000 participants, families, and funders. We were able to reach an additional 550 adults with developmental disabilities through this program model, as well as 1,000 community members who have/will view the art work produced as a result of this program. The program was developed by the executive director in collaboration with Lifeworks administration. The model rotated a group of 8-12 individuals working with an artist team through an 8-week program that met two times per week. Midstream we changed the model to add two more sites and split up the artists who were initially working in teams. Artists felt comfortable working on their own with the support of Lifeworks staff. This adjustment to the program model helped participants bond with a single artist and provided artists with more ownership of their art program at each site.",,8000,"Other, local or private",72830,8634,"Barara Fleig, Janice Hamilton, Lois Eliason, Rob McParland, and James Terrell",,ArtStart,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Access",,"Partnering with Lifeworks, ArtStart artists will engage adults with developmental disabilities in a multifaceted visual arts program.",2012-03-05,2013-03-04,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Carol,Sirrine,ArtStart,"1459 St Clair Ave","St Paul",MN,55105-2338,"(651) 698-2787 ",carol@artstart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Dakota, Hennepin",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-access-134,"Charlene Akers: Executive director, Stearns History Museum.; Katherine Dodge: Executive director, Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program.; Joanna Kohler: Owner, Kohler Productions.

The outcome achieved was to expand instructional strategies/learning experiences for educators/students that integrate poetry and visual arts with life sciences. Data gathered through 1) pre-planning meetings with artists and teachers at each school; 2) midpoint reflection meetings to determine changes and/or improvement to the project; and, 3) student interviews, as well as artists and teacher final reflection meetings in which student work was examined and the impact of the project on instructional practice discussed/documented was used to measure achievement of this outcome. In addition, a final survey was administered to all artists, teachers, and other project participants to determine the overall impact of the project on instruction and learning. 2: The second outcome was to deepen each participant's understanding of the relationship between arts, culture, and the environment. With the addition of a workshop by Gwen Westerman, Dakota artist and poet, these three concepts were beautifully brought together. She conducted a half day workshop during the staff development component and also spoke to all 10th grade Edina High School students during the residency on the Dakota Conflict and the importance of the confluence to the Dakota People.

This helps us fulfill our mission of being the Bach Society of MINNESOTA, not restricting our presence to the Twin Cities. We evaluated our outcome based on our goal of offering professional musicians a chance to tour their work throughout the state in an all or nothing way. Since we were able to offer these musicians a chance to tour, we achieved our goal. With the help of the grant and our partner we were able to achieve our intended outcome. 2: The artists involved were Paul Boehnke, harpsichord and director; Carrie Henneman Shaw, soprano; Jin Kim and Marc Levine; baroque violin; Julie Elhard, viola da gambe; Doug Scholz Carlson, narrator. These artists were chosen for their knowledge of and skills in performing baroque music in a historically informed way, making the performance authentic and exciting! The touring concert took place in Olmstead County. This community was selected to help the Bach Society expand its audience, deepen connections for further collaborations, and strengthen Calvary Episcopal Church’s (our touring partner) position in the music community of Rochester. Advertising in the Post Bulletin was extremely successful, both getting people to the concert, and getting people to our web-site. The electronic aspect of the online advertisement made tracking easy. In one day, the advertisement reached 27,392 people, and 2,690 clicked on the link to our web-site!!

The 2012 program exceeded our goals by serving over 1,100 youth from 14 organizations including community resource centers (Neighborhood House, Transition Plus, Northfield Healthy Communities Initiatives) school-based programs (District 196 Young Scholars, Rahn Elementary Arts and Technology Magnet, HeadStart) homeless shelters (Cornerstone, Lewis House) and programs for new immigrants, English as a Second Language students, and foster families.

Our targeted group for the project was low-income and at-risk youths in Dakota County and the south metro who are in supervised activities with limited enrichment programs and field trips due to the lack of funding. This group was selected based on conversations with youth program providers about their barriers to attending arts programming at Caponi Art Park, and stems from our strategic goal of increasing community outreach and expanding youth programming. Relationships were built by identifying and connecting with organizations that serve the targeted population in Dakota County. 2: Organizations that serve our target population were able to bring over 1,100 underserved youth to the park who have had limited access to arts programming.

Perceived barriers included perceptions that art is not designed for children. Our existing partners and others that serve our target population expressed their desire to engage more deeply with the Art Park, but were prevented by these barriers.

We evaluated our outcomes by recording attendance at all events and by partnering with Wilder Research to administer post-show surveys to measure the degree to which participants felt welcome and their likelihood to return to Children's Theatre Company. 100% of survey respondents said they would return to Children's Theatre Company. 2: Our target group was Latino families in the Twin Cities area. While the Latino population of the Twin Cities is rapidly growing, Latino families continue to be underrepresented at Children's Theatre Company public performances and in our Theatre Arts Training classes.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited.","The main outcome was exposing more Minnesotans to contemporary music through live performances. We achieved this by presenting four concerts throughout Minnesota with support from those communities. In order to evaluate this outcome, audience members were given short surveys to fill out during and after the performances. From this survey, we were able to see that most audience members found out about our performances from the local newspaper and emails and newsletters from the presenting partners. When asked if they would attend another performance by Ensemble 61, the response was overwhelmingly favorable. Ensemble 61 toured to Alexandria, Glenwood, Fergus Falls and New York Mills. Regional arts council websites were used to identify communities in greater Minnesota that have a history of supporting the arts and that might be interested in hosting a performance by Ensemble 61. Previous professional contacts from Alexandria were also used to arrange for that performance. In order to engage the audience in each community, members of Ensemble 61 gave a pre-concert talk about the music being performed. We also talked about the music during the performance itself for those who were unable to attend the pre-concert talk. In addition, members of Ensemble 61 made themselves available at the intermission and after the performances to interact directly with audience members and to answer any questions or converse about the performance. It was apparent from the survey that the pre-concert talk was overwhelmingly helpful to the audience members’ concert experience. The pre-concert talks helped to demystify some of the music being performed. 2: Ensemble 61 was able to perform in four communities in Greater Minnesota which we have not performed in prior to this tour. Our intended outcome was to perform and explain contemporary music to new audiences. We achieved this outcome by presenting the four concerts and by engaging the audience members in preconcert talks, which helped demystify some of the music being performed. We evaluated the success of this outcome through the surveys which were handed out to audience members. When asked if they felt the pre-concert talk was helpful, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Presenting partners were chosen from communities in greater Minnesota that have a history of supporting the arts and that might be interested in hosting a performance by Ensemble 61. Erik Barsness, co-director and percussionist of Ensemble 61, selected the specific communities based on communications with the regional arts council staff members and by consulting their websites. Each presenting partner helped advertise the performance in their specific community and was consulted on whether or not they felt a pre-concert talk would benefit their audience.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,75000,,,1.69,"University of Minnesota","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Boreal forests of spruce, fir, paper birch, aspen, and jack pine cover more than two million acres of northern Minnesota, including the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. 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.

",,"The projects completed with Fy2012 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; and (g) improve angler access and participation.   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.

Develop a music curriculum for area schools and other community partners. Provide continuing professional education for our artist/instructors. The Center for Irish Music is proud its community music school has become an unprecedented new revenue stream for the area’s most accomplished Irish musicians and artists. The growth of the Center for Irish Music over the past six years has provided artistic and financial opportunities for professional, traditional musicians in the community. We have gone from two paid instructors in 2004 to 18 currently. Paying our fine musicians not only the respect they deserve, but the living wage they require to practice and perfect their art is one of the values at the very heart of the Center for Irish Music, and is an outcome we share with the Community Arts Schools and Conservatories program. Ongoing programming is evaluated during instructor meetings held three times per year with feedback presented at monthly board meetings. Programming is also evaluated by examining statistics such as repeat enrollment, attendance at family sessions and larger events, and the number of new students enrolled. General interest in the center is measured by the number of sustaining members, the number of requests to our e-mail distribution and mailing lists, the number and type of media promoting the center, the number of Facebook/My Space friends, and the number of hits on our web site. Finally, the success of programming is measured by its impact on our financial balance sheet. Evaluations with instructors have shown an ongoing interest in participatory decision-making. Instructors play a critical role running CIM and have taken the lead on suggesting changes to the instructor compensation system and class fees. Evaluations from students have indicated a continued strong interest in Irish song classes and CIM has expanded this area of programming both in regular classes and with master workshops. Progress towards meeting our outcomes will be measured by the number of students enrolled in classes, the number of outreach events conducted in the coming years, and in community attendance at our events.","Curriculum for an early childhood class for 2-4 year olds was developed and a new class was offered. This included hiring an additional teacher. Additional funding is needed to finish the component of a professionally recorded and produced CD and book. Additional funding is being sought. Success was measured by the development of a new class and by the enrollment of young students. A music curriculum for area schools and community partners has been developed and has allowed expanded outreach into the community. One new performance was at a community festival in Rochester; another at a Saint Paul Library; and a beginning ensemble performed at a festival in Brainerd.

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.

Improving the means to our performance goal will be evident with (1) increased concert attendance, (2) scrutiny through regular, measurable evaluative instruments, (3) higher contract wages for our high-performing artists, and (4) managing dedicated volunteers to edit and expand a photo-rich website, five on-line newsletters with creative graphics and concert-relevant articles, active use of Facebook with tie-ins to other arts organizations' sites on facebook, and rehearsals for the Buffalo Community Orchestra's newly-regenerated Trillium ensembles to perform at frequent local venues and made Buffalo Community Orchestra more visible.For key objectives to reach our primary goal of ever-better concert quality, (1) audience attendance will be measured by ticket sales, concert by concert, and compared to average sales figures over the past 8 years), (2) quantitative instruments designed for gaining audience, orchestra, and board responses to evaluative questions with ordinal measures and written comments, (3) an annual budget which can accommodate a $500 dollar increase for our conductor and $25 increments for section leaders, and (4) a 25% increase in visitors to our website, with more links to Facebook, a 15% addition to our 200 on-line newsletter subscribers, and at least 6 performances by Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles at civic functions and local business venues.","Our primary artistic goal of highly creative, well-prepared concerts which draw increased audiences, was measured by (1) audience attendance (quantified by ticket sale revenues: 39% higher than previous 7 years); and (2) quantitative instruments, including some ordinally-measured questions plus comments, to survey separately audience, orchestra, and board members: all surveys showed high satisfaction numbers rating musicians’ skill and concert performance. Organizational goals, emphasizing expanded and effective operations, to be achieved by (1) retaining the paid General Manager, (2) covering increased administrative expense for auditing, insurance and licensing, (3) pay increases for conductor (added $500 to yearly salary) and section leaders (added $25 per service), and (4) attracting 2 Buffalo Community Orchestra unpaid volunteers to boost publicity and community outreach through Facebook and the Buffalo Community Orchestra website. Concert promotion through Facebook increased, the on-line newsletter subscribers rose to more than 150 subscribers, and organizing and rehearsing Buffalo Community Orchestra string and brass ensembles reached new listeners at 6 civic functions and local business venues.",,30107,"Other, local or private",35420,5313,"Jeffrey Burns, Gail Anderson, Renee Vetsch, Julie Rathmanner, Mary Ellen Lundsten, Erin Walsh, Gretchen Katzenberger, Rosemary Tabbut, Mike Walsh, Polly O'Brien, Veronica Lily, Sarah Braith",,"Buffalo Community Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Buffalo Community Orchestra is a concert-producing non-profit community organization in Central Minnesota.",,,2012-09-01,2013-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Ellen",Lundsten,"Buffalo Community Orchestra","301 2nd Ave NE PO Box 707",Buffalo,MN,55313-1653,"(952) 657-6250 ",melundsten1@mac.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Wright, Sherburne, Hennepin, Carver, Ramsey, Meeker",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-grant-36,"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.

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.

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.

Observation of pilot programs at both the RHS museum campus, and Richfield Middle School showed that visitors were fully engaged in program activities, and that groups collaborated to problem-solve. Program participants were able to make decisions that moved individual program narratives forward in a logical/understandable way. While the public program proved more illustrative of the programs success in promoting cross-generational participation (given the varied age demographics among public users), both the public and Middle School based programs did engage a visitors representative of diverse communities. Intermediate and long-term results have yet to be achieved, as the project is still largely in the pilot stages. This represents a setback when measured against the original proposal's stated work-plan benchmarks. However, these setbacks were related to several significant and unanticipated changes that deeply affected all operational aspects of the Richfield Historical Society - namely the departure of our Executive Director Jodi Larson, as well as the premature departure of T.J. Malaskee, the contractor hired to lead this program development initiative. The initial success of the ""Minnesota Territory: 1851"" program as an education outreach initiative has poised RHS for success in achieving the long-range goals associated with this program initiative. Based on the success of in-school pilot programs in 2013, Richfield Middle School has already requested that RHS return in the fall of 2014 to offer the program again.

",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.

In 1850 over 100 Swedish immigrants came to America and settled in the area. The Lindstrom Park Board decided on erecting three statutes to honor three immigrants (Per Andersson, Daniel Lindstrom and Erik Norelius) within the City of Lindstrom because of their significant contributions to settling Minnesota and the Chisago Lakes region. However, it was decided to add a female Swedish immigrant to the collection of sculptures and local midwife, Nelly Gustafson, was chosen. The East Central Regional Library Legacy Committee approved the Nelly project in 2012. Nelly was a University trained midwife and served the area for many years and is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Lindstrom. The sculpture will provide dialog amongst its viewers, help to facilitate their understanding of sculpture as an art form and rekindle an interest in Swedish culture and heritage in the regions. The program held by Ian Dudley at the installation ceremony gave the audience an overview of the project along with the sculpture making process. The project was collaboration between many partners including Chisago County, the City of Lindstrom, the Chisago Lakes Library Commission, the Chisago County Historical Society and the Friends of the Chisago County Library. All were committed to making the project a successful one that would honor and educate the community about its Swedish heritage. Comments from those who have seen the sculpture and/or attended the unveiling were pleased that a local artist was chosen to do the sculpture thus supporting both the cultural and economic solidarity of the region. It also served as a continuing education piece as stated by one individual's comments: ""wonderful story, history and tribute to midwifery. Your gift and talent, Mr. Dudley, is amazing. It is interesting and a ""timely"" statue of Nelly because of the recent PBS series called ""The Midwife"". It gave more meaning to the dedication for me to learn about these courageous, pioneering women. I am glad the Chisago Lakes Library has the honor of displaying Nelly. Thank you so much."" Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers Native American culture is important not only to the East Central Regional Library region but all of Minnesota. Many of our regional counties have a large Native American population, yet many of our library patrons and residents are unaware of their culture and traditions. We invited Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers to perform workshops at two local schools and perform evening concerts for the general public. In March of 2013 they presented four educational workshops (3 at the Chisago Lakes High School and 1 at the Chisago Lakes Area Library) followed by an evening performance at the Chisago Lakes High School Performing Arts Center with a troupe of 4 dancers which included storytelling, music and dance. A similar program was held at the East Central High School and Performing Arts Center in Finlayson, MN. Eight workshops along with two assemblies were held over a period of two days following by an evening performance. These took place in February 2014. These were both excellent examples of school and library partnerships and collaboration. We were able to bring an educational, cultural and professional program to the schools that they could not manage within their own budget. It allowed students, teachers and the community to have the opportunity to learn about diverse and multicultural people and artists. If they didn't learn anything else, the students learned that there are 565 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. It was the most stated comment on our surveys by the students attending the workshops. The performances truly opened up their ""eyes and their world"" to another culture. The students ""learned more about their history"" and ""more about the removal Act or Relocation Act. The really sad part was the schools and what they did to the children"" or in another student's words, ""how the government screwed them"". One student even admitted to his own prejudices as he stated, ""I learned that despite my apparent prejudices, indigenous traditions are as interesting as the traditions of any other culture"" and ""not all stereotypes are true"". Library Day at the Fair Almost every child remembers going to their local county fair. This legacy project provided us with a unique partnership with the Kanabec County Fair through the Kanabec County Agricultural Society. As the Minnesota State Fair promotes a ""Library Day"" each year, we felt this would be a great opportunity to do a local promotion. On one day during the fair, the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund provided funding for three 45-60 minute shows that included an aerialist, a fire eater and a sideshow act on July 25, 2013. The first show was held in the morning at the Mora Public Library and included a brief history of the circus along with a hands-on workshop. The highlight, however, were the performances in the afternoon at the Kanabec County Fairgrounds which included the more daring and exciting acts (aerialist, fire­ eater, eating light bulbs, and mind reader).

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.East Central Regional Library (ECRL) is a consolidated regional public library system in east central Minnesota. ECRL has fourteen branch libraries located in six counties: Aitkin, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Pine. With Arts and Cultural Heritage funds, ECRL 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.  ",,"Nelly Gustafson Bronze Sculpture The Chisago Lakes area (consisting of the cities of Center City, Chisago City and Lindstrom) has a rich Swedish heritage. In 1850 over 100 Swedish immigrants came to America and settled in the area. The Lindstrom Park Board decided on erecting three statutes to honor three immigrants (Per Andersson, Daniel Lindstrom and Erik Norelius) within the City of Lindstrom because of their significant contributions to settling Minnesota and the Chisago Lakes region. However, it was decided to add a female Swedish immigrant to the collection of sculptures and local midwife, Nelly Gustafson, was chosen. The East Central Regional Library Legacy Committee approved the Nelly project in 2012. Nelly was a University trained midwife and served the area for many years and is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Lindstrom. The sculpture will provide dialog amongst its viewers, help to facilitate their understanding of sculpture as an art form and rekindle an interest in Swedish culture and heritage in the regions. The program held by Ian Dudley at the installation ceremony gave the audience an overview of the project along with the sculpture making process. The project was collaboration between many partners including Chisago County, the City of Lindstrom, the Chisago Lakes Library Commission, the Chisago County Historical Society and the Friends of the Chisago County Library. All were committed to making the project a successful one that would honor and educate the community about its Swedish heritage. Comments from those who have seen the sculpture and/or attended the unveiling were pleased that a local artist was chosen to do the sculpture thus supporting both the cultural and economic solidarity of the region. It also served as a continuing education piece as stated by one individual's comments: ""wonderful story, history and tribute to midwifery. Your gift and talent, Mr. Dudley, is amazing. It is interesting and a ""timely"" statue of Nelly because of the recent PBS series called ""The Midwife"". It gave more meaning to the dedication for me to learn about these courageous, pioneering women. I am glad the Chisago Lakes Library has the honor of displaying Nelly. Thank you so much."" Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers Native American culture is important not only to the East Central Regional Library region but all of Minnesota. Many of our regional counties have a large Native American population, yet many of our library patrons and residents are unaware of their culture and traditions. We invited Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers to perform workshops at two local schools and perform evening concerts for the general public. In March of 2013 they presented four educational workshops (3 at the Chisago Lakes High School and 1 at the Chisago Lakes Area Library) followed by an evening performance at the Chisago Lakes High School Performing Arts Center with a troupe of 4 dancers which included storytelling, music and dance. A similar program was held at the East Central High School and Performing Arts Center in Finlayson, MN. Eight workshops along with two assemblies were held over a period of two days following by an evening performance. These took place in February 2014. These were both excellent examples of school and library partnerships and collaboration. We were able to bring an educational, cultural and professional program to the schools that they could not manage within their own budget. It allowed students, teachers and the community to have the opportunity to learn about diverse and multicultural people and artists. If they didn't learn anything else, the students learned that there are 565 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. It was the most stated comment on our surveys by the students attending the workshops. The performances truly opened up their ""eyes and their world"" to another culture. The students ""learned more about their history"" and ""more about the removal Act or Relocation Act. The really sad part was the schools and what they did to the children"" or in another student's words, ""how the government screwed them"". One student even admitted to his own prejudices as he stated, ""I learned that despite my apparent prejudices, indigenous traditions are as interesting as the traditions of any other culture"" and ""not all stereotypes are true"". Library Day at the Fair Almost every child remembers going to their local county fair. This legacy project provided us with a unique partnership with the Kanabec County Fair through the Kanabec County Agricultural Society. As the Minnesota State Fair promotes a ""Library Day"" each year, we felt this would be a great opportunity to do a local promotion. On one day during the fair, the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund provided funding for three 45-60 minute shows that included an aerialist, a fire eater and a sideshow act on July 25, 2013. The first show was held in the morning at the Mora Public Library and included a brief history of the circus along with a hands-on workshop. The highlight, however, were the performances in the afternoon at the Kanabec County Fairgrounds which included the more daring and exciting acts (aerialist, fire­ eater, eating light bulbs, and mind reader). Individuals commented that it was ""first rate and versatile"" and ""it was awesome."" Whether you found it fascinating or freaky, it was a unique and rare program and partnership that brought two unlikely entities together.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,175000,,,3.98,"University of Minnesota","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Minnesota's forests are currently being viewed as potential feedstocks for the 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 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.

This is still true today. Relying on organizations in the Twin Cities to provide arts access and arts education in hard to reach rural communities is not sustainable and will not achieve significant reach to these under-served communities. The Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota presents a unique opportunity to significantly increase, sustain, and grow access to informal learning for a large portion of greater Minnesota. As a growing regional resource, CMSM is committed to working toward the Legacy Fund goals of actively creating opportunities for all Minnesotans to get directly connected to the diverse arts, culture, and heritage of Minnesota. Legacy Funding presents an opportunity to overcome barriers of access. CMSM's proposal makes the most of these opportunities by engaging the public, and those with the most barriers to participation, in the exhibit development process; and by connecting more families to Minnesota's arts, culture, and heritage.","The Greater Mankato family population is booming, and according to the last census, overall population has increased 21%.

Involved decision makers include CMSM's board of directors, steering committee, learning experience advisory committee, access and outreach committee, City Center Partnership, Greater Mankato Area United Way, staff, consultants, and many others. An environmental scan, feasibility study, case studies, surveys, and evaluations have all concluded that informal learning experiences, especially those fostering creativity, are needed in southern Minnesota.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2014, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,200000,,,10.98,"Hennepin County","Local/Regional Government","PROJECT OVERVIEW Many inner-city youth receive little, if any, exposure to outdoor and environmental education. This lack of exposure has implications for children's health as well as their knowledge about science, the environment, and the world. In the long term this also impacts the broad public awareness and understanding necessary to ensure long-term protection and stewardship of our environment and natural resources. Hennepin County is using this appropriation to develop a new program called UrbanWatch that will aim to provide hands-on, experiential outdoor learning experiences to inner-city students in North Minneapolis in order to increase their knowledge and skills relating to ecology, agriculture, water resources, and biological diversity. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS TIn 2011, Hennepin County Environmental Services was awarded $200,000 from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for the UrbanWatch program. The goal of this program was to implement outdoor experiential environmental education in Minneapolis schools and communities that have traditionally been lacking in environmental programs. UrbanWatch brought a collective of proven curricula, activities, and tools to empower teachers and at-risk students to explore, monitor, and protect environmental resources. The county partnered with five community organizations - Beez Kneez, Environmental Justice Advocates of Minnesota, Minnesota Internship Center High School, Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, and the Renewables Research and Policy Institute - to provide hands-on outdoor environmental activities to youth living in the near north side of Minneapolis. The county partnered with the University of Minnesota Extension and the Beez Kneez to host the ""Schoolyard Garden Sustainability and Support Teacher Workshop"" held in March 2014. Working in conjunction with STEM coordinators and the Farm to School coordinator from Minneapolis Public Schools, the workshop provided curriculum instruction and educational resources to educators on how to maximize the potential of schoolyard gardens within the classroom. The program increased youth's knowledge and skills regarding ecology, agriculture, water resources, and biological diversity in their own neighborhoods. These experiences equipped students and community members with the information necessary for healthier communities, a greater sense of stewardship, and increased appreciation for their natural world. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATIONMore than five hundred and fifty youth have been directly engaged.More than twenty organizations, schools, businesses, and faith communities partnered in this program.Eight gardens established.Two beehives established.Two public art installations completed.One toolshed built using compressed earth block construction.Two aquaponics labs established in schools.7 Master gardeners paired with schools and their gardens.Pollinator curriculum written and published for grades K-12.25 unique classes and outings implemented for youth.More than 10 newsletters distributed highlighting program successes.More than 30 presentations to students, staff, and community members developed and given.Resources for 30 teachers/schools established for garden classrooms.14 Teachers attended garden workshop.465 students reached through workshop, 3140-7340 youth hours spent in gardens spring 2014.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Mary,Karius,"Hennepin County - Environmental Services","417 N 5th St, Ste 200",Minneapolis,MN,55401,"(612) 596-9129",mary.karius@co.hennepin.mn.us,Education/Outreach/Engagement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/experiential-environmental-education-urban-youth,,,,

Iny Asian Dance Theater successfully hosted the Folk Arts project – “Preservation of Hmong Dance.” We have successfully reached our Vision of the Preservation project, that is - Bringing the Hmong Traditional Dances to Life: Sharing Hmong cultures and talents to build a better community. EVALUATION METHOD. Our Project is a great success, with more than 123 dancers participating at Hmong Dance training, eight community performances and a final Hmong Dance Drama – “Longing for Qeej,” where 500+ audiences cheered non-stop at Central High School Auditorium, St Paul. After the Central High Performances, we hosted feedback session right away with all dancers, parents and invited audience to join us for evaluation. We have also utilized the social media (blog) to collect feedback from the audience. TARETED GROUP - Hmong Americans. MATCHES INTENDED PARTICIPANTS. We have successfully matched our project participants. Led by the Iny Asian Dance Theater’s Artistic Director, Iny Mai Vang Xiong, our Project has successfully included following activities: a) Weekly FREE Hmong Dance Lessons for 123 youth in different levels; b) Researching the Hmong Dances with a pilot website to publicize the information with photos; b) Hosting a Hmong Dance Symposium at August 16, 2012 at Concordia College to discuss the transformation of Hmong Dances; c) Master Classes with the award-winning Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County Song and Dance Troupe from China, to learn the traditional music and dance from Li and Miao (Hmong) ethnicities in October, 2012, and performed the opening dance for their show at University of Minnesota’s Ted Mann Hall, with the Qeej dance (Traditional Hmong Bamboo music instrument); e) Presenting through eight community performances at local Schools, New Year Celebrations and Festivals (ex. May 20th, 2012 Pan Asian Arts Festival; and f) Presenting a Final Hmong Dance Drama – Longing for Qeej, at December 19, 2012 at Central High School. 2: INTERPRETATION - To truly honor the Hmong traditional dance arts, we have ample opportunities throughout the training and performances for the participants and audience to learn about the cultural origins of Hmong dance. The Hmong Dance Symposium invited three scholars: Guohua Jin (Artistic Director of Canadian Asian Folk Dance Studio); Pei Shen (Executive Director of East Cultural Center); and Kaiwen You (Artistic Director of the China Dance School and Theatre in San Francisco), to present and host discussion with audience with the topic - Hmong Dance Transformation from China to United States. Additionally, we have publicized Dr. Nengher Vang’s paper, “History of Hmong Dance,” in the Program Booklet to enhance community understanding and awareness of Hmong traditional dances. BARRIERS. For many centuries, the Hmong language was firmly an oral type of communication. There was no alphabet system, no written texts, and no cultural activation to need a literacy system. Cultural aspects and learning was passed on to the next generation from memory and oral wisdom. In the early 1950s, a group of French American missionary-linguists developed a method of writing Hmong words that used the same letters as the English language.

Rag rug weaving is a form of art that is easily started. There aren't a lot of up-front costs and, while it takes many years to master, basic skills can be learned in a short time. Artists can begin seeing results right away. This project introduced this art form to a new generation of artists and strengthened the existing Fiber Arts Guild organization. There are more people creating and appreciating this art form because of this project. We measured comments from participants about whether they would continue to study and perform the art and if they attend further seminars/exhibits. We can now keep in contact with them about further education opportunities. Furthermore, the Fiber Arts Guild added new members, reactivated three old ones and made valuable new contacts with other rag rug enthusiasts and groups. 2: We asked participants if they had ever attended a seminar/class about rag rug weaving prior to this event and found that this event was unique to our region. Many had not attended any folk arts event prior to our event. We also asked participants which level they considered themselves to be at artistically. We also measured how many participants would be interested in further classes/seminars. A high number (over 85 %) indicated they were. Finally, we asked participants what they would do with the knowledge they learned. All of them indicated they were going to continue to explore the art form and/or join a group advocating and teaching the art. Finally, this project was a giant learning experience for the Fiber Arts Guild. They learned valuable skills in how to present and teach their art, how to generate interest and plan an event. They are already planning smaller events to continue to grow.

In one performance during A Passage to China at the Mall of America, the Northfield Youth Choir, Carleton College Choir, and Carleton College Chinese Music Ensemble performed to an audience of over 400 people. Audience, performers, presenters, and students response was all used to evaluate the success of my program. I transcribed Zhi Hua Buddhist temple music from recording and then into Western notation, and have posted some of it online. I arranged dozens of scores for Chinese and Western ensembles and choir, and participated in performances of them at the local Chinese community’s “Passages to China” at the Mall of America, Carleton College, Northfield Middle School, Northfield Buddhist Meditation Center, the University of Minnesota, and McNally Smith College. I also lectured at the schools involved and taught the music to the choirs and musicians. The “Passages of China” performance included 90 total performers from the Northfield Youth Choir and Carleton College Choir and Chinese Music Ensemble. This event was stellar in magnitude and supported by the entire Twin Cities Chinese community. It took months of planning and included over 55 participating organizations that were showcasing Chinese culture for the Chinese community and general public. All events helped preserve the temple music and bring it to the general public in performance. The music was also preserved trough transcriptions from recordings I put into Western notation for the first time ever and have made available for mass audiences by posting them online at www.chinesepipa.com/zhihuascores.html. 2: All events were well attended, but “Passages to China” especially increased the participation of Minnesotans with over 90 choir members and instrumentalists performing the temple music I transcribed and arranged. Participants were chosen by those who had shown interest in the past (both choirs, the Chinese music ensemble, and community groups I lectured to). The main barrier was the fact that the pieces were sung in Chinese.

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. Here visitors learn about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota, view data and project maps, and learn how they can get involved in efforts to understand and conserve golden eagles in Minnesota. In addition, updates on golden eagle tracking are posted on social media outlets, reaching an audience of more than 10,000 followers. Detailed data from field observations, Annual Wintering Golden Eagle Surveys, and telemetry are made available to researchers and others upon request. Thus far, we have shared this data with at least one utility seeking information on golden eagle migration and habitat use in siting transmission lines. The Golden Eagle Survey Project has been regularly featured in regional news media throughout the Project's duration. An attached list highlights some of the regional news stories about the Golden Eagle Survey Project. Links to the story are provided where available. In 2013, the Golden Eagle Project shared in the US Forest Service's Wings Across America award for work as part of the Eastern Golden Eagle Working Group.

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. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The Land Trust disseminated information about the specific land protection projects completed under this grant though our newsletter, email updates, web site, and press releases.

Reach an expanded audience. 2. Produce and Present a new body of work for The Traveling Museum. 3. Share The Traveling Museum experience with multiple communities. 4. Establish relationships and secure exhibits/events beyond the grant cycle. We will be able to measure the number of attendees to publisized community events. Within the framework of the gallery we will offer an opportunity for visitors to leave feedback in a comment book and denote community of residence. Discussions via social media will help us determine projects and programming that may be of interest to specific communities and groups for future programs and projects. The nature of public art means there are a number of passive participants – individuals who will see the Traveling Museum, think about the Traveling Museum, possibly have a conversation with someone about the Traveling Museum but not necessarily actively enter or participate in the programming. It is our opinion, while difficult to asses this type of private recognition, it will most certainly become part of the the communities shared psyche and ultimately play a part in the community’s overall interest in supporting and understanding the value of the arts. The production timeline for the new body of work to be presented in The Traveling Museum’s first season will begin June 15, 2013. While creating artwork we will simultaneously be constructing the Traveling Museum in time for its first exhibit in December of 2013. The Museum will travel to three lakes in the Winter of 2013/14. A recollection exhibit in June of 2014 will summarize and present the successful fulfillment of this exhibition/programming objective. The measure of successful partnership and project development will be evaluated by our ability to secure new locations and activities for the Traveling Museum. Ongoing interest and demand for Traveling Museum projects will be the ultimate measure of success.","Through our Facebook insights we have a clear demographic picture of our fans within that specific social media platform – 61% female, 38% male. The majority of our Facebook fans are within the ages of 35-44. These statistics leads us to predict a larger understanding of our overall demographic portrait of our audience: Men and women who most likely have young families. We predicted The Traveling Museum would have 3 to 4 local activities within the grant period with the hope there would be initial interest for programming from outside sources after the grant cycle. To date we have had five public activities well beyond the local region and four more events scheduled through September. We have successfully partnered with a variety of entities from individuals to organizations. Ongoing interest in and demand for more Traveling Museum projects was to be our ultimate litmus test.

Provide a chance for community members to experience live brass quintet musicIn the context of a short-term, four-day residency, there are several indicators that The Copper Street Brass Quintet will monitor and stay attuned to evaluate the success of the residency. They include: 1. Students who are engaged û asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2. Improved instrumental playing û band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3. A successful Capstone performance û a full audience, including students and their parents 4. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with TheCopper Street Brass Quintet. The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves. The Copper Street Brass Quintet utilizes a student feedback survey to measure overall reaction to the program, best and worst portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and invites conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage.

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",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/living-shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-initiative-phase-2,,,,

Specific activities will include updating management plans, soil preparation, prescribed burning, native vegetation installation, woody encroachment removal, and invasive species control.Project Outcome and Results High quality habitat within the Metro area is important for both resident and migratory species. The Metro Conservation Corridors partnership is working to establish a system of habitat corridors that also provide open space and water quality benefits for the residents of the area. One goal of this project was to increase the amount of high quality habitat within designated conservation corridors. During this project, FMR installed 86 acres of prairie, besting the projected amount by 31 acres. This prairie restoration took place at the Emrick property, Gores Pool WMA, Heritage Village Park, Pine Bend Bluffs SNA, and Mississippi River Gorge sites. FMR conducted woodland restoration activities on 2 acres at Mounds Park and Heritage Village Park, falling short by 3 acres of the proposed goal. Uncommon flooding at Gores Pool WMA prevented woodland restoration at the site. Activities associated with this restoration included updating management plans, soil preparation, seed/plant installation, mowing, and weed control. These additional acres of natural communities will provide critical habitat for many species that rely on prairie and woodland, some of which are rare or in decline. A second goal was to enhance the quality of existing habitat areas. We conducted enhancement activities, mostly exotic invasive plant control and burning, on 275.8 acres, exceeding the number of acres committed to in the work program by 172.8. The third goal achieved was to develop a list of potential future restoration and acquisition projects within the corridors by reaching out to 27 landowners. This outreach has lead to meetings and site visits with landowners interested in learning more about the natural resources on their property. In other cases, the follow up contact is still taking place.

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. Seed collected from the prairie on-site was used to enhance other areas on-site.Great River Greening (GRG) also exceeded its original grant acres. GRG conducted enhancement activities on 179 acres (141 acres were originally proposed), as follows:• Katherine Abbott Park: 6 acres prairie enhancement, and16 acres forest enhancement. 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. Work was conducted by Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (see Fish Creek description), citizen volunteers, contractors, and Greening staff.With this grant, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 66 acres of a larger 335 acre acquisition of significant habitat in Elk River (Sherburne County) with over a mile of Mississippi River shoreline at the confluence of the Elk River and Mississippi Rivers.

""Everything was wonderful. Although I am 83 I am still able to learn."" ""I enjoyed every minute of the class. I was surprised how creative I could be."" Saint Paul Public Library conducted eighteen program series. Thirteen of the series focused on programming for youth and five focused on programming for adults. SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults.

Read And Ride Day attracted over 1,000 people to Carousel Park for a wide range of activities, art-making and live entertainment. MELSA was a featured partner in the Twin Cities Book Festival where MELSA created a children's pavilion of author events, hands-on arts and live performances for more than 400 young people and adults. Club Book: This acclaimed literary series brought 17 best-selling and award-winning authors to library communities across the metropolitan area. From Stillwater to Chanhassen and Minnetonka to Apple Valley, Club Book establishes area libraries as vital, vibrant centers of cultural programming and exchange. Nearly 3,000 attendees flocked to many standing-room­ only events proving that libraries are the coolest book club in town. This year's featured authors include local luminaries Mark Rosen, Jonathan Odell, Brenda Child, Dr. David Walsh, Lorna Landvik and Brenda Langdon. Audiences filled the seats when Colin Meloy, Carson Ellis, Cheryl Strayed, John Sanford and Carl Hiaasen came to town to meet their readers. Sing, Play, Learn with MacPhail: Over 3,000 youngsters and adults enjoyed 71 early childhood music programs presented by specialists from MacPhail Center for Music. Wee ones enjoyed songs and activities geared just for them while adults learned how to incorporate music activities at home to enhance reading readiness with their children. Teens Know Best: This new program brought eight teen authors to each library system in 2013. Although we aimed high in projected attendance, 625 youth were thrilled to make connections with their favorite authors. We already have ideas for improving the program for next year and will cultivate partnerships with Mackin, Addendum, Lerner Publishers and 71 educators to increase promotion and attendance. Anoka County Library continued their most popular programs, including Page & Stage with the Lyric Arts Theater in Anoka and Bringing Local History to Life with the Anoka County Historical Society. A patron commented about the Page and Stage program, ""The talk before the play can give a whole new outlook and it is great to listen to others thoughts in the plays. Thanks to the Legacy Grant we are able to get into those plays that are chosen and see them from the ""eyes of the authors"" in a different way."" New for this year of Legacy programming, they launched Storywalks in partnership with Anoka County Parks and Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services. Three Storywalks were hosted in the fall at different parks around Anoka County. The walks were an opportunity for families to read, spend time in nature, and be physically active. Anoka County Library hosted two series of programs for school age kids this spring: Kids Build ARTchitecture and In the Dark. The ARTchitecture series had kids designing bridge, skyscrapers, and inventions. Kids reported that learning to saw and cut wood, using glue guns was important to them. . They gave the programs very high marks. In the Dark programs included learning about rocks that glow, creating kaleidoscopes, making glow-in-the-dark art and a very popular Jedi Training Camp. As with the ARTchitecture programs, kids liked the hands-on aspects of the activities - the building and decorating. Carver County Library's first Annual Writers Fair was a huge success. With an afternoon of classes, a panel discussion, and networking opportunities available it was a must-attend event for any aspiring writer. The event was so well received a follow up writers series will be offered late Fall and a second Writers Fair is in the planning for 2014. Since, we have experienced a great amount of success when offering any programming as a series, particularly with our annual Music in March series. A decision was made to try a new venue­ Arts in April. Every Sunday afternoon, in April a different art form or session was offered at our Chanhassen branch. We even had one Sunday afternoon with staff providing their work on display and brief introductions to their art of choice. Plans are to expand the offerings next April and provide more hands on classes and Make and Take classes. Dakota County Library: Rosemount One Book was a collaborative community effort to promote and support reading, as well as to provide cultural and educational activities for all ages. The idea germinated in Rosemount during a Community Leaders meeting to bring people with similar youth-centered goals together to share and work toward creating a better Rosemount. Following the successful first year of One Book, One Rosemount, the committee agreed to continue the program and chose Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool. Dakota County Library celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month which honors the various histories, cultures and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. This is the first time the Dakota County Library officially celebrated Hispanic-Heritage Month. An estimated 200 people took part in StoryWalk at Lebanon Hills Regional Park during its weeklong tenure in October. Families eagerly traveled a mile-long path as they read Gossie by Olivier Dunrea together, page by page. Dakota County Library celebrated Black History Month with the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir. The Choir consisted of an ensemble of 22 singers. It was absolutely fabulous - the energy, the spirit, the performance! Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford was the featured book for the annual OneBook, One Lakeville. Author Jamie Ford presented at the Lakeville Area Arts Center at an event which included the opening act Cumulus, a jazz band, with special guest vocalist Debbie O'Keefe. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and Ford was an engaging and informative speaker. The most meaningful feedback received was from people who stated that they knew little of the Japanese internment, and that our series of programs was very enlightening. Dakota County Library hosted its annual Silver Tea series consisting of programs especially for older adults during Older Americans Month. The Library hosted musical entertainment at all Dakota County Libraries, drawing 739 customers. Librarian feedback was uniformly positive about the quality of the performers and attendance levels. ""Well received by audience. We filled the room beyond capacity and had to overflow into the atrium."" Dakota County Library hosted its 4th annual Rhythm & Words Family Music & Book Festival at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. Nearly 1,900 people attended the festival and The Okee Dokee Brothers' performance filled the main stage which seats over 1,000 people. Hennepin County Library: Drama from the Inside was a writing and theater workshop held at Hennepin County's adult correctional facility. Staff from local theater companies led writing workshops for the residents. The pieces composed by residents were turned into a performance and performed live for residents and was also published. Selected comments from residents include, ""It was nice seeing other women's stories and makes you think a lot on your current situation,"" and, ""The power of the stories touched me deeply. I so appreciate the bravery and honesty of the women who shared their stories."" While the Library has hosted programs celebrating Dia de los Ninos (Children's Book Day) in the past, this year staff focused on developing community partners to strengthen the program. Staff engaged youth in the creation of the program by involving local schools and art centers and increased the number of Spanish speaking families who attended events at the library. Selected comments from attendees who were asked what was the best part of the event include, ""That entire families participated -- a time to share. Thanks,"" ""The community and seeing the puppets up close after. What a great surprise to find at the library today!"" and ""The dances and the piftata, the information about the library."" The Library partnered with Twin Cities Public Television to demonstrate how our Special Collections department has assisted local researchers by producing the ""Treasures Collected, Treasures Shared,"" documentary and web videos. Accompanying the release of the documentary, the Library increased the number of Genealogy Research workshops by bringing in local genealogists. Attendance was excellent and increased the attendance at the staff-led workshops the Library offers year-round. Ramsey County Library: Young Lenses - RCL and CTV North Suburbs partnered to offer an opportunity for girls ages 11 to 14 to examine the representations of women in mainstream media, to connect with other young women and to explore storytelling through video production. The girls watched the award winning documentary ""Miss Representation"" and made their own autobiographical TV show. ""A Girls Eye View"" opening was held in the library for the public to view the works created during the project. Kindergarten Library Card Sign Up Celebration - Children's librarians visited every kindergarten class in RCL's service area and encouraged kids to get their first library card. Kindergarteners and their families were invited to the library for a day filled with art activities, award-winning authors, musical performances and an award ceremony where the kids received their library card. We continue to offer the always popular music and art series during school breaks. History Series - A three month Civil War series, co-sponsored by National Endowment of the Humanities and American Library Association, was the highlight of our always popular history programs. Events ranged from book talks to re-enactments and were offered for all ages. We continue to partner with local historical societies offering monthly workshops that fill our rooms to capacity. White Bear History Challenge - RCL partnered with the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society on this geocaching challenge to make history fun. The challenge was kicked-off at the library with a workshop introducing geocaching and the Munzee game to newbies. This treasure hunt highlights 15 historic points in our community and includes collector cards featuring the site's photo and fun history facts. ""We took a class and now our little ones found their first cache all by themselves!"" ""What a great tour! Thanks for the memories!"" Senior Art Series - This year RCL added programming specifically for senior citizens. Art classes that combined art history with hands-on projects were offered in multiple locations. ""Everything was wonderful. Although I am 83 I am still able to learn."" ""I enjoyed every minute of the class. I was surprised how creative I could be."" Saint Paul Public Library conducted eighteen program series. Thirteen of the series focused on programming for youth and five focused on programming for adults. SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt. Narration was provided by local artist Michael Dregni for two concerts and audiences reported on their appreciation of the excellent musicians and the melding of artistry and learning. Michael Dregni coordinated a display of Gypsy Jazz/Django Reinhardt memorabilia for the display cases at Central Library to accompany the performances. Dakota War Sesquicentennial: Over 150 people came to three different lectures/programs that presented stories, images, and sites from both sides of the conflict and showed how ripple effects continue to this day. Events were held with local authors John Koblas and Curt Dahlin and a bus tour with local historian Dave Riehle visited sites with significance to the Dakota. Audiences reported great interest in local history and appreciated the multiple perspectives presented in the series. Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books.

The original cost of $190.00 was derived from prices at the MHS website, but at the time of duplication, MHS no longer provided microfilm duplication services. MHS staff helpfully provided the vendor that it now uses, and after weighing the options, the volunteer decided that Northern Micrographics was the best choice. Mr. Pechacek was also very helpful in negotiating a change in the project: while the minimum rate for any job was $250.00, the cost to duplicate one reel of 35mm microfilm was only $25.00! Therefore, Mr. Pechacek helped the volunteer negotiate a contract of 10 duplicate reels (5 each of the 2 original negative microfilm reels) to make best use of the grant funds. The volunteer ultimately decided upon 8 positive duplicates (4 each of the 2 original negatives) and 1 negative safety copy (2 each of the 2 originals). The volunteer paid via credit card a fee of $261.16 and received a $190.00 reimbursement, absorbing the remaining $71.16 herself as a gift to the museum. Special Collections accessioned and cataloged the microfilm, and also offered to digitize it as PDFs to eventually be hosted on the library's website. Not only did this allow the museum to send 1 set (1 reel each of the 2 originals) of positive microfilm to Hennepin County Special Collections as planned in the original grant, satisfying the purpose of greater (public) access to the microfilm, it also allowed the administration area of Hennepin County Library (at Ridgedale Library) to hold one set of positives and the safety copy of negatives in the administration area for safekeeping. The Museum is considering getting a safe or a safety deposit box. The other 4 sets of positives have been placed with the originals in the Miller Collection and cataloged. In addition, with the help of the Hennepin County Library's microfilm printer (at Ridgedale Library), a complete hard copy printout of both reels will be made with the library's microfilm printer at no cost to the museum, and the hard copies can then be foldered, placed with the Miller Collection at the MNANG Museum, and cataloged. Therefore, at least a hard copy version of the two microfilm reels will also be available for reference at the MNANG Museum. Thanks to the vendor, who encouraged the volunteer to get the most value for the grant dollars awarded, extra copies were made for the same amount of money as would have cost to merely make one duplicate each of the two original reels. Four each in the Miller Collection is rather a lot, but there seemed to be no justification for making fewer copies than the minimum charge ($250) would allow.",,,71,,261,,"Kurt Wiessner, Richard Wiessner, Ray Pittman, Richard Heinecke, Deon Ford, Bob Minish, Jerry Kyser, Vikki Getchel, Karen Wolf, Michael Drews, Terry Morris, Tom Simonet, Colonel Wyneken",,"Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To add 2 rolls of microfilmed records from World War II to broaden public accessibility to primary records.",,,2013-01-01,2014-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kathleen,Sundby,"Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation","PO Box 11598","St. Paul",MN,55111,612-713-2523,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Hennepin,,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/microfilm-duplication-miller-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!

Additionally, we included the artists in both the Map and the app we developed for the event to let the community know that visual artists were being presented.

Exceeding our 5% goal on both accounts. In 2012 we determined to reduce the number of festival booths to provide more space per booth so we actually had less booths and artists participate in the 2013 event (85 artists in 76 booths in 2011 vs 83 artists in 73 booths), however, we believe this alteration coupled with the increase in applicants increased the overall quality of the festival artwork, which resonated with the audience. Frequently the audience commented on the quality of the work and this was reflected in artist sales averaging between $2,500-$3,000 vs $2,000 in 2011 (25% increase). To evaluate this information, we used artist and crowd surveys, revenue and count comparisons. 2: We exceeded our goal with a 20% increase from 10,000 visitors in 2011 to 12,000 visitors in 2013. Also, we planned for reaching twenty youth and instead counted 500 kids in the crowd, a 2,400% increase from what we had anticipated. To determine this outcome, we count every passerby (not duplicated) in a specific, centralized zone for the first ten minutes of every hour throughout the entire festival.

Minnesota festivals have greater financial stability and serve broader audiences. The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases.","1. Due to 2011 festival success with Minnesota State Arts Board support, our artists spread the word about our festival to other artists. That coupled with the work we did last year and this year to reach out to new artists, both professional and emerging, we had a 38% increase in new applicants to the festival (exceeding our 5% goal). This increase allowed us to be more selective in the jurying process. Although we had fewer booths in 2012 (72 vs. 76) we still had more artists (89 vs. 85) and the quality of the work increased, creating an even better festival with more artistic variety. 2. We compared the number of applicants between 2011 and 2012. We hosted seven services/activities to achieve our goal of increasing artists. Success was determined by the number of activity participants who later participated in the festival (16 artists used one or more of these services and then participated in festival). Also, we surveyed artists to find out how they heard about the festival. 2: 1. We achieved our goals of financial stability and service to broader audiences. Without funding, we cannot cover the festival administrative and marketing costs. With Minnesota State Arts Board support, we were able to cover 100% of expenses allowing us to implement, expand outreach and promote our festival, thereby fulfilling our second goal of serving broader audiences (in terms of artists and attendance). Festival applications increased 38% and attendance grew 20%. On both accounts we exceeded our goal of 5% growth. 2. For artist growth we compared applicant #s from last year to this year. We surveyed artists on how they heard about the festival, 47% said word of mouth,"" 17% said ""Art Colony"" and 10% said advertising. For audience evaluation, we did an hourly count of attendees.

Without State Arts Board support, we would have had to limit our entertainment offerings and further cut our marketing activities. Our attendees had a great time and received a good entertainment value, which will help us to spread the word about our 2013 project. We increased outreach to the neighborhood as well as advertised in ethnic newspapers. The grant also funded more performers, many of whom came from the neighborhood. Our target audiences included Midtown residents and business owners, Midtown Global Market supporters, Twin Cities jazz fans, urban tourists, and performers' fans, families and friends--all of whom traditionally find it beneficial to attend outdoor music. Featuring neighborhood-based performers and increasing community outreach helped us to increase neighborhood attendees from 21% of the audience last year to 30% of the audience this year.",,16101,"Other, local or private",37101,8543,"Mike LaFave, J.

The artists are from Minnesota (64 percent), Wisconsin (13 percent), Iowa (5 percent) and across the United States (18 percent). In 2011, the breakdown of artists was: Minnesota (64 percent), Wisconsin (16%), Iowa (4%) and across the United State (16%). Applying artists are awarded an extra point if they live in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood. There was a 200 percent increase in the number of Hmong artists.

Artists are selected by a blind jury process, and distinct jury panels determine each of the programs. Much of the project energy goes to determining the nature of the arts experience for audiences and a balance of disciplines.

The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases. Eco-artists were scheduled so that a minimum of three artists were always available to visitors during festival event days.","Five eco-art projects featuring ten artists were presented, as planned, in addition to theatrical presentations by five actors and actresses. Visitors participated in the creation of interactive music and sculpture powered by the sun, a new experience. We worked with Forecast Public Art and a team of internal and external advisors to select artists based on: their ability to design an eco-art experience with which visitors could creatively engage; the variety of experiences offered; and their ability to meet the demands of the outdoor installation space. In the past, we funded four eco-art sculptures, in addition to the five theatrical presentations, and artists had limited contact with the public. Funding allowed us to produce additional projects and to create a residency model in which artists were actively engaged with the public. 2: Our goal was give visitors the guaranteed opportunity of a personal experience creating eco-art with the artists--a more in-depth experience than has been available in the past. This goal was met by scheduling the artists and alerting our visitors to their daily presence.

A list of proposed restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Enhanced 2,049 acres of forest ",,77200,"USFWS ",914100,,,.60,"Minnesota Deer Hunters Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Minnesota Moose Collaborative (Collaborative) has implemented a variety of habitat enhancement treatments across the core of moose range in Northeast Minnesota on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands since 2013.  Moose browse has been improved through treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species. 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",,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-moose-habitat-collaborative,,,,

This continues work begun with FY2010 and 2012 CWF. The SWCD/WMO partnership will offer these ecological practices through their joint cost share and incentive program. The long-term strategy is to reduce runoff volumes and targeted pollutants in priority areas, with native grass crops and filter strips identified as key practices. Being targeted are 50 and 20 acres of native grasses and filter strips, respectively. Incentive rates established will take into account public benefits, private-market opportunity, and historic offerings ranging from $175 to $250/acre.

However, these plant communities have been declining in Minnesota for decades mostly as a result of development impacts. The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources is using this appropriation to try to improve the quantity and quality of white cedar wetland plant communities in Minnesota. Efforts will include assessing existing white cedar communities to prioritize sites for restoration and then providing training and demonstration of restoration and re-vegetation techniques for local natural resource managers. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Project Background: Northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) has been declining in Minnesota for decades. White cedar provides ecologically diverse plant communities and critical wildlife habitat and wetland functions. Project Goals:Reverse decline of white cedar plant communities in Minnesota.Improve quantity and quality of white cedar plant communities.Methods: Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) established seven experimental white cedar restorations and reference sites in Beltrami, Koochiching, St. Louis, and Lake Counties. Experimental treatments were designed by Dr. Rod Chimner and evaluated use of cedar seedlings, transplants, seeding and natural regeneration. Protection from browsing by wildlife was by rigid tree protectors and wire mesh enclosures. (See attached technical Report). Results: Evaluation/Prioritization of White Cedar Restoration Sites: Goal: Evaluate 100 white cedar sites for restoration/preservation. Results: 132 sites were evaluated in Aitkin, Koochiching, Itasca, St. Louis, Lake, Cook and Beltrami Counties. Establishment of Demonstration Sites: Goal: 400 acres restored/preserved. Results: 7 sites (485 acres) established in Beltrami, Koochiching, St. Louis and Lake County. Groundwater monitoring wells installed. Training Resource Managers Goal: Train 30 land managers. Results: Two training sessions with 66 trained. Project Findings:Many white cedar swamps are degraded and need restoration.Major disturbances were roads, ditches and herbivory.Most harvested cedar sites have not regenerated back to cedar, but were replaced by tag alder/balsam fir/red maple.Largest single factor affecting cedar survival was hydrological conditions.Site level hydrological conditions altered by roads may end up explaining tree growth and mortality.Project Significance: Northern White cedar provides unique wetland functions including:Thermal winter cover for white tailed deer.Critical habitat for pine marten, bear, fisher, songbirds.Provides thermal buffering for cold water fisheries (brook trout streams).",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Dale,Krystosek,"Board of Water and Soil Resources","701 Minnesota Ave, Ste 234",Bemidji,MN,56601,"(218) 755-2603",dale.krystosek@state.mn.us,"Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Mille Lacs, Pine, St. Louis, Wadena",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northeast-minnesota-white-cedar-plant-community-restoration,,,,

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",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-146,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Goals for 2013 include completing the physical space design, call for bids, and selection of contractors; creating and launching a fundraising plan; and identifying and implementing the lower-cost components of the plan. Although our fiscal year 2013 goal, set in January 2012, was to complete the redesign planning process, we were able to complete the project itself by June 2013, finishing the redesign work and creating the related educational exhibitions, demonstration space, and moveable walls. As observed by gallery staff, visiting time has increased substantially; and more than half of all visitors, regardless of age, engage with the hands-on activities in the educational area. The redesign allowed us to increase our engagement with a wide variety of audiences by expanding our programming, including an exhibition in conjunction with the Ramsey County Historical Society's New Land/New Life exhibition; an art spoon show featuring Minnesota artists, and co-hosting Cocktails With Culture, a series of four events with the Schubert Club and Minnesota Landmarks. 2: We are documenting our permanent collection artwork, and sections of our permanent collection will be displayed on our Web site by June 2012. Our 2013 goal is to present virtual exhibits from our permanent collection on our Web site. The project plan was revised in an effort to better serve a wider audience; this has delayed completion of the project on the original timeline.","Our purpose in redesigning the museum was to create an engaging space in which to present the art of woodturning in its historical, technical, and artistic contexts. Through hands-on educational displays, historical exhibits, and regularly scheduled artist demonstrations, in addition to our art exhibitions, we are able to engage visitors in learning about this often unfamiliar craft and art form. The educational exhibitions illustrate the artistic and design decisions behind familiar, and seemingly mundane, objects like bowls and balusters, as well as sculptures, encouraging an awareness of form and material. The redesign, including moveable walls, has made it possible to host concurrent exhibitions, increasing our ability to feature local and regional artists, and present collaborative exhibitions and events with other institutions. 2: With the guidance of a professional registrar, a more complete database of objects than originally planned has been completed. Artist-related resources, including biographical information, articles, and Web links have been added, along with more detailed information on materials and techniques. Photography for the project is 35% complete, and we anticipate completing it in fall 2013.

American Composers Forum conducts multi-dimensional observations which provide quantitative and qualitative data on the program's intended outcomes. 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. The pieces and curriculum of BandQuest and ChoralQuest are published and promoted by Hal Leonard, and ongoing sales are tracked by American Composers Forum routinely. 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. American Composers Forum managed programs for composers and brought composers to the state to work with Minnesota-based performers. In fiscal year 2013, 25 Minnesota artists received awards and three national programs awarded grants to 9 artists. Innova produced 25 new recordings. American Composers Forum facilitated seminars/salons for composers for the reading/performance of new work. The programs benefitting Minnesota artists are: McKnight Composer Fellowships, the Jfund Commissioning Program, the Minnesota Emerging Composers Awards and Live Music for Dance Minnesota. Awards are based on panel recommendations, and most offer a community engagement component. American Composers Forum also facilitates the Minnesota Emerging Composers Awards in such diverse sectors as electronic, jazz/improvisation and world music. Live Music for Dance Minnesota funds composer and choreography collaborations. 2: Inspire students with fresh music: American Composers Forum provides direct public benefit to students by bringing the creative process to life with meaningful musical experiences. American Composers Forum commissioned new pieces for middle school students and developed new curriculum for connection to non-arts study areas.

With a goal to expand audiences, we track audience attendance and growth. Audience growth in 2012- 2013 indicates an increased level of interest and awareness within the general public. Critical media reviews factor into our evaluation, along with audience feedback and response. Our second season featured multiple sold-out performances, and received coverage in the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, and other leading print, television, and radio media outlets. We plan to use our new Patron's Edge box office software to incorporate in-depth audience response feedback systems, as well as methodology to track audience demographics, gauge our effectiveness in encouraging the diversification of audience interest over time, and other criteria for evaluation over a long-term scope. On a micro and macro-level, these evaluation assessments are used to make critical decisions as to how to adjust programming from year to year, as well as how to shape The Cowles Center's long-term vision for the future. 2: Diversify and expand the impact of the Cowles Center’s educational program. Present a full schedule of student workshop and matinee programs. Work with eight schools to provide five-day Distance Learning sessions followed by a field trip to Cowles Center for a student matinee featuring either Jason Noer (hip-hop) or Zenon Dance (jazz/modern), a post-performance question and answer session with the artists, and an onstage workshop. Our evaluation methods incorporate feedback from all participants, including Cowles Center teaching artists, school teachers, and students. The methods and materials gather quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the following: overall program impact and effectiveness, mission fulfillment, participant preparation and interaction, curriculum goal achievement, content, technology, and use of resources.","With 31,424 tickets sold, the Cowles Center's inaugural performance season helped to establish itself as a prominent center for dance and the performing arts on the Twin Cities cultural landscape. One of our primary goals is to grow and develop audiences for dance, and at the close of our second season, we can see that we are fulfilling this goal. Our audiences for the second performance season showed an increase in attendance of 10%, with 34,927 tickets sold. In conjunction with our 2012-2013 Season, we also launched our new Meet the Company: Talk Back Series, giving audience members an opportunity to meet artistic directors and company members in intimate question and answer sessions following select performances. We reached an estimated 1,153 audience members with 17 Talk Backs in the second season. 2: In 2012-2013, the Cowles Center expanded its Arts in Education Programs with the launch of the Student Matinee Program. During the school year, we offered twelve diverse matinees to nearly 5,000 students from 39 schools and 47 home school groups. The Distance Learning Program continues to grow in response to demand. In 2012-2013, we served 1,779 students statewide with 203 workshop sessions, representing a 5% increase in capacity from the previous year. We partnered with thirty two schools, including twelve new partners. In early 2012, with support from the Minnesota State Arts Board, we launched a pilot program that integrated the Distance Learning Program with student matinee performances of productions on our inaugural season. The pilot was a success and we have integrated Distance Learning with performances in 2012-2013 in conjunction with the full launch of the Student Matinee Program. We served students in ten schools with integrated programming in the 2012-2013 school year. In addition to achieving our quantitative goals, qualitative feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. As an example, according to a teacher in Mora, the Student Matinee Program gave students a greater appreciation for an art form they may never have experienced before, saying it was most likely their first time ever [attending a dance performance], given our community distance from a theater like The Cowles.

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.

Cantus continues to work with one Twin Cities arts organization each year in a collaborative project and three Minnesota high schools. Activities within the High School Residency Program are evaluated on an on-going basis using questionnaires and direct responses from high school choral directors. The Cantus education outreach coordinator (a singer) is in contact with directors throughout the school year to ensure that the particular issues that each choir faces are being addressed by Cantus coaching. Success for the All Is Calm production with Theater Latte Da and Hennepin Theater Trust is measured on ticket sales as well as audience response and internal artistic reviews. In December 2012, the production enjoyed its highest sales ever, including three sold-out performances. Two songs were added to the production this year, and audience and artistic response was enthusiastic about the changes. 2: Cantus pulls back the curtain on how its art form is created in order to enhance public understanding of the value of the arts. Cantus will make at least twenty rehearsals each year open to the public and provide easy-to-find information on how the public can attend at no charge.

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. To do this we: 1) reached 128,967 Minnesotans as of July 15, 2013 exceeding our goal by 8,967 people; 2) served 19% of Minnesota's cities and towns, falling short of our goal by 3% due to two anticipated grants not being funded; 3) scheduled 39% of our Minnesota programming in rural communities and 33% of our Minnesota programming in greater Minnesota; 4) created a special program to help save greater Minnesota schools money, but since it required partnering with another school participation was limited. 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. Aside from representing major United States ethnic groups, they also come from countries such as Ghana, Indonesia, Ecuador, and India (as well as Caucasian-majority countries like Sweden and Russia). COMPAS reaches individuals in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. Examples include: 1: Owatonna, Rochester (Bamber Valley); 2: Faribault (Minnesota State Academy for the Blind, Henderson (Hilltop); 3: St Louis Park (Aquila), Hopkins (Meadowbrook); 4: St Paul (Highland Park High), Roseville (Parkview Center); 5: Minneapolis (Anwatin Middle); 6: Clear Lake (Clearview), Woodbury (Bailey); 7: Roseau, Morris; 8: Duluth (Lowell), Aitkin (Rippleside).",,1122000,Other,1162851,2000,"Cheryl Bock, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Pamela Johnson, Nasir Raja, Roderic Hernub Southall, Robert Erickson, Christina Koppang, Diane Kuhlmann, Louis Porter II, Celena Plesha, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Irene Suddard, Theresa Murray",,"COMPAS, Inc.

We evaluated the success of our partnerships through biannual surveys of the staff in the facilities that hosted our programs. 100% of our partner agency staff said Free Arts provides a valuable service to our facility/group. And 100% of our partner agency staff said I would recommend the Free Arts Weekly Mentorship Program to others. When asked Why do you involve the youth at your site in the Free Arts Weekly mentorship program? there were many positive responses, including this one: Free Arts provides a unique opportunity for our clients to have exposure to the arts which is typically an area that our clients struggle with in their mainstream educational setting. Art is therapeutic and gives our clients an outlet for emotional expression. Art also allows our clients to take risks and work on self-regulation in a non-threatening manner. 2: Expand participation in the arts to people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities. Reach 4,000 young people with our blend of arts activities and mentorship. In order to bring art into the lives of 4,000 young people, recruit and train over 250 community members to lead art projects and act as mentors for these young people. Evaluate artistic growth and experience of youth with biannual surveys of the staff in the facilities that host our programs, as well as the young people and volunteers that participate. We evaluated artistic growth and experience of youth in our programs with biannual surveys of the staff in the facilities that hosted our programs, as well as the young people and volunteers that participated. Those evaluations yielded the following results: 94% of our volunteer art mentors stated that the youth in our programs developed new artistic skills. 95% of the staff at our partner agencies said that the youth had a safe environment in which to express themselves. The vast majority of both partner staff (79%) and our volunteer art mentors (79%) felt that the youth we worked with had increased self-esteem thanks to our Free Arts programs.","Our first goal was to weave arts programming into the fabric of community life at homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and out-of-school time programs in community centers. Outcome one was to build and sustain 30 social service agency partnerships in order to accomplish that integration of arts programming within their communities. Our actual outcome was that we built and sustained partnerships at 29 homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and out-of-school time programs in community centers. Youth at these partner agencies received access to arts programming through our weekly mentorship program and our Free Arts Days. 2: Our second goal was to expand participation in the arts to people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities. We set a goal to reach 4,000 young people with our blend of arts activities and mentorship. In order to bring art into the lives of 4,000 young people, we set out to recruit and train over 250 community members to lead art projects and act as mentors for the young people in our programs. Our actual outcomes are that we reached 4,143 youth. We recruited and trained 497 volunteer art mentors. This goal also aimed at serving the under-served in terms of ethnic and economic diversity. The youth served by Free Arts programs in this period were 69% African American, 13% Caucasian, 6% Asian, 6% Hispanic, 5% multiple-race, and 1% American Indian.",,382918,Other,406365,1557,"Hal Tearse, Kim Witczak, Jeff Putnam, Lynn Maaske, Peter Ekberg, Pat Courtemanche, Sarah Curfman, Tracy Dyer, Erinn Farrell",,"Free Arts Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Daniel,Thomas,"Free Arts Minnesota","400 1st Ave N Ste 518",Minneapolis,MN,55401,"(612) 824-2787 ",dan@freeartsminnesota.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Ramsey, Hennepin",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-184,"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 measureable outcomes that we intend to achieve are to increase the numbers of audience members across the state, as well as in the metropolitan area. The evaluation plan was to survey anonymously at several Sinfonia events. The Sinfonia surveyed audiences at two winter concerts, nineteen Music in the School Partners and four of eight outstate venues. The surveys confirmed that the Sinfonia was meeting its goals of having many differing segments of the population participating in the arts, and that approximately 2,500 audience members were added outstate. Audience sizes are estimates based on hall capacities and input from hosts. Surveys report a wide diversity in audience makeup: 1) over 30% have household incomes below $35,000, 2) over 30% attend few other professional arts events, 3) audiences come from across the metro, 4) many children attend (no numbers, but visual counts have put the number at some venues close to 30%), 5) rural audiences were made up of over 65% with household incomes below $35,000, 6) 75% attend fewer than two professional orchestra concerts. 2: The Sinfonia would also like to increase the numbers of participating students, artists, and audience members of all ages, ethnicities, income levels, and abilities. The evaluation plan included surveys, visuals, and actual counts. Survey outcomes are listed above. The Sinfonia was able to accurately count the number of students in our contests and youth outreach week activities. They remained quite constant with last years numbers, increasing only slightly (by 5-6 participants). The count of students participating in Music in the Schools is an approximation from the participating partner schools, and fairly accurate. The accurate count of artists was listed in the preceding question, also up a modest amount. The count and makeup of audience members is from our surveys and our visual approximations. We know this by how many seats there are per venue and how big of a percentage of those seats are filled, as well as the ages, ethnicities and income levels from our extensive surveys.","Outcomes achieved were: 1) People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities were able to participate as audience members, students, or artists with the Sinfonia. Audiences numbers either increased or remained constant with past years. 2) Music in the Schools had over 10,000 participants. 3) Free, professional, public concerts were performed in a variety of metropolitan neighborhood settings and generally served specific communities. The communities included East St Paul, North Minneapolis, Eagan, Minneapolis and St Paul inner cities and other areas. 4) The region's talented music students were served by two contests and performances as part of the Youth Outreach Week with the Sinfonia. 5) Touring to rural Minnesota introduced the Sinfonia to audiences, most of which (as determined by anonymous surveys) do not attend concerts by the state's other professional orchestras. 6) All Sinfonia programs either gained participating members or retained the same numbers of audience members. 2: The Sinfonia did meet most of the expectations for increasing the numbers of participants. The actual outcomes were as follows: 1) Student participation was up from last year, but slightly below our goal of 18,000, with approximately 10,500 participants in our Music in the Schools program, 800 through our summer children's concert and 5,000 through our public concerts, along with 70 in our youth contests and youth outreach week, for an approximate total of 16,370. 2) The number of artists participating was about as we anticipated, 95, including the students performing with the Sinfonia during youth outreach week. 3) The number of audience members was approximately 24-26,000 according to our surveys and estimates by our staff and by the staffs of our partner organizations.

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. An estimated 7,000 people enjoyed sampler classes for all ages, theater games for children, a meet and greet with Ebenezer Scrooge (played by J.C. Cutler), self-guided behind-the-scenes tours featuring special exhibits in the scenic and properties shops and the recording studio, performances of Milly and Tillie by Minneapolis' Open Eye Figure Theatre, a costume exhibit featuring historical pieces from the Guthrie Costume Shop and a Costume Photo Booth.

These outcomes were measured quantitatively through the box office ticketing systems with attendance figures via ticket sales and zip codes attached to ticket orders, and measured qualitatively through anecdotal evidence, exit interviews, attendance figures, and feedback given by patrons. 2: Offer dynamic education and community outreach programs. Outcomes include increased enrollment and participation, deepened and expanded conversation with patrons, and increased community support and enthusiasm. As many as seventy individuals took part in each narrated set changeover, the Shakespeare lecture series had increased attendance by at least twenty percent for each lecture over 2012, and the new events were well attended. The Festival completed its summer fundraising campaign one week ahead of schedule, a rare thing in the nonprofit theater world; and this increase in donations demonstrates the increased community support and enthusiasm for Great River Shakespeare Festival's programming.","Produce clear, compelling, and relevant productions. Attendance at the Festival's professional company performances has broken records on a per show basis. 2013 productions are Twelfth Night, attendance currently at 4,775, and King Henry V, attendance currently at 3,199. This compares to 2012's record breaking season with The Two Gentlemen of Verona attendance being 4,500, and King Lear being 3,500. 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. The company has succeeded in increasing the geographic range of audience, from over 50% being local and 25% coming from within a one hour drive with the last 25% arriving from beyond a one hour drive, to a 30/30/30 split of attendance in these categories. The Festival has grown the sector of audience coming from beyond the boundaries of Winona. Success of the artistic company and engaged response from the audience have been achieved. 2: Dynamic education and community outreach programs have been offered.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perform as a fiscally robust business that attracts residents and visitors to downtown St Paul. Add to the cultural vitality of the region and provide jobs to artists here. Preserve Minnesota history in artistic form. Outcomes include staging an annual season of five plays; serving 43,000 Minnesotans; ending the year in the black; and successfully completing the turnaround plan and ending long-term debt. The History Theatre evaluated the success of this outcome by 1) monitoring attendance at each of the five plays and Afterthoughts discussion series; 2) noting critical reviews by local media. This season was well reviewed overall; of particular note were stellar reviews for Courting Harry, by national playwright Lee Blessing and directed by Joel Sass. This play about Minnesota-born and lifelong friends, Supreme Court Justices Harry Blackmun and Warren Burger, played during the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. 3) financial analysis and ongoing progress toward fiscal benchmarks. 4) History Theatre assessed the need to cautiously increase pay for artists from an extremely modest baseline. This investment is paying off in continued artistic improvement. 2: Expose learners of all ages to the arts and to a deeper understanding of history. Commission plays from a wide range of Minnesotan's experiences. Update ADA access plan. Outcomes include providing discounted matinee and educational programming for 8,000 Minnesotans; formally reviewing ADA plan; and commissioning at least one new work annually. All of History Theatre's productions are evaluated by attendance tallies; ticket sales; critical reviews by artists and media, and audience surveys. Commissioned plays are developed by the state's finest playwrights through a 1-2 year development process in which plays are reviewed and assessed as successful if they rise to the level of a main stage production.","The Minnesota State Arts Board grant year was one of the most successful in the Theatre's history. Accomplishments that relate to the outcomes identified in our grant application included: 1) Staging a highly successful, five-play season that garnered outstanding critical reviews. 2) Conducting over 24 Afterthoughts, a popular public discussion forum that engages audiences with experts and cast members from each show regarding the topics and history presented through the plays. 3) Ending the year with a surplus and increased net assets. 4) Bringing over 40,000 people into downtown St Paul to see quality professional theater. 5) Employing more than 150 Minnesota artists and designers. 2: History Theatre achieved this outcome by making great strides in deepening and expanding its education and outreach programs. All of our plays are informative about history, and Afterthoughts discussions expand learning. History Theatre introduced adult learning classes that built on the themes of the shows, continued its mission by commissioning five new plays about people and historical events based in Minnesota and the region, and formed an accessibility committee to review History Theatre's ADA plan. History Theatre continued to work with senior groups, underserved schools, and other organizations to provide discounted or free tickets to over 8,000 Minnesotans.

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. Outside funding this season included the historically reliable contributors as well as new resources. We exceeded the giving goal from individual donors.

The intended outcome is that by June 2013, 90% of permanent spaces in the ArtsHub will be filled at any given time supporting approximately 30 independent artists and 10 small arts organizations. An additional 25 Minnesota-based artists and community leaders will be trained through the institute. For our leadership program we work with a professional evaluator who develops the evaluation plan and uses a combination of interviews, surveys and case studies to measure the quality of the experience for our fellows. We evaluate the number of fellows served through our own internal processes. ArtsHub membership is measured by enrollment and application process reports provided monthly to the Executive Director and the board finance committee. Both the strategic plan and the operational plan are also reviewed on a quarterly basis by staff and board committees and progress is presented back to the board and staff on bi-monthly basis, with additions or course corrections made as necessary. 2: Support the creation, presentation, and engagement with art that encourages participation with the community that fosters dialogue, civic engagement and serves as a catalyst for community change. The intended outcome is to increase participation by audiences by 10% and maintain the number of weeks we present Catalyst Series events, in addition to engaging new audiences through our Minnesota artist-in-residence program. We set annual goals for presenting weeks and audience attendance for the Catalyst Series and we evaluate progress made toward goals by preparing an attendance report following each presentation and compiling those reports on a quarterly basis into an organization-wide report that is presented by the Executive Director to the board of directors. Those quarterly reports are compiled into an annual, year end report and presented to the board and back to the community in a public annual report each year.","In fiscal year 2013, we trained 25 fellows through our Twin Cities Creative Community Leadership Institute, launched our Creative Community Leadership Institute alumni program serving over 150 alumni in Minnesota and North Dakota and are on track to train 50 more fellows in fiscal year 2014 including fellows in the Twin Cities and Duluth-Superior area.

Jawaahir's Board and staff thought this was a prudent move from a standpoint of budgeting, logistics, and estimated staff and volunteer time. ","For more than 20 years, Jawaahir was located in the Burch Pharmacy Building in Minneapolis. In 2012, the building was slated for re-development; Jawaahir was fortunate to find a new home in the Patrick's Cabaret building on Lake Street. Overall, this has been a positive move, as the building is handicapped accessible and significantly less expensive to rent. Because the move to the new Lake Street location was such a major transition for the Company, Jawaahir decided to postpone its annual concert season until FY2014. Instead, Jawaahir presented concerts of all-new choreography by Company members, which proved so popular with our audiences that additional performances were added. In addition, Jawaahir presented repertoire concerts and cabaret performances and performed in a curated cabaret show at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater. 2: As part of its artistic mission, Jawaahir offers classes in traditional Middle Eastern dance through its adjunct community school. Classes are offered from beginning to professional levels to students of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities. Classes are offered in four metro-area locations: Minneapolis, St Paul, Bloomington, and Shakopee. In addition to ongoing classes, Jawaahir offers special learning opportunities.

The Dancemania students had made significant progress, and all of the youth benefited from the interaction. The Dancemania instructor taught the Sing and Dance classes to aid in the transition. Another pre-school Sing and Dance class was added due to high demand. The organization gave over $83,000 in financial aid to 116 students. 2: The arts thrive in Minnesota.

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",,,https://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.

The chief indicator of success in achieving Outcome 1 is the number of people reached by our singing, along with the number of performers engaged in the creation of the art. By those measures, 2012-13 was among the Chorale's most successful years ever: even with the loss of contracted work due to the lockout at the Minnesota Orchestra, more than 12,000 Minnesotans and visitors enjoyed our singing during fiscal year 2013. Additionally, our ability to raise funds from individuals is an indicator of the extent of the Chorale's impact in the community: in fiscal year 2013, the Chorale raised more money from more individuals than in any year in our history, with fully one third of our total income derived from this source. 2: Provide opportunities for enriching, cradle-to-grave choral music-making to as many Minnesotans as possible. For the Minneapolis Youth Chorus, success is measurable by the level of interest among eligible participants; the ensemble was filled to capacity for the entire school year. Attendance at weekly rehearsals is another indicator: this exceeded 95% each week throughout the year, significantly higher than average attendance rates for the school-day in the district. For the sing-alongs, participation numbers are the most telling evaluation of success: for the Minneapolis sing-along, a near-capacity crowd of over 800 filled Saint Olaf Catholic Church, and in St Paul, our first-ever sing-along at the Landmark Center was completely filled, and the stage crew ran out of chairs!","To weave chorale singing deeply and rewardingly into the lives of diverse Minnesotans. This was achieved in several ways, chief among them via concert performances by the Chorale's family of choirs throughout the metro area and in Mankato. Along with mainstage performances by the Chorale and its artistic partners, the Chorale's Minneapolis Youth Chorus sang extensively for children and adults, and our Voices of Experience choir for older singers (offered in partnership with MacPhail Center for Music) presented concerts in fall, winter and spring. The Chorale's Bridges program brought singers into the memory care units of four assisted living facilities in Minneapolis and St Paul, with weekly visits over the course of a month. Getting the residents to sing along with old favorites was among the most moving experiences Chorale singers have ever experienced. Our informal Holiday Heralds program, which reached thousands of Minnesotans during the month of December, literally brought the music to the people, in shopping malls, parades, the Landscape Arboretum, and sports venues. 2: To provide opportunities for enriching multi-generational choral music-making to as many Minnesotans as possible. As noted above, our Minneapolis Youth Chorus and our Voices of Experience choir for older singers enabled more than 120 singers of all ages to raise their voices in song. The Chorale itself is a multi-generational ensemble, with 230 singers aged 19 to 81 as active performing participants. Beyond our own ensembles, the Chorale presented two sing-alongs, offered at no charge to participants. Messiah in Minneapolis and Mozart in St Paul (during the annual Winter Carnival festivities) brought more than 1,500 Minnesotans together to make music with us, and demonstrated the deep and abiding power of choral music to bring together people of diverse backgrounds.",,383012,Other,408503,1783,"Karen Bair, Elizabeth Balay, Don Davies, Dennis Kim, Wendy Lukaszewski, Gilah Mashaal, Bryan Mechell, Sue Melrose, Gloria Olsen, Barbara Prince, Karen Touchi-Peters, Rachel Wright, Tene Wright, Jon Lahann, Bob Peskin, Kathy Saltzman Romey",,"Minnesota Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Larry,Fuchsberg,"Minnesota Chorale","528 Hennepin Ave Ste 407",Minneapolis,MN,55403-1810,"(612) 455-2102 ",we_sing@mnchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Blue Earth, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Nicollet, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-221,"Joshua Aerie: Conductor, artistic director, and instructor of various music organizations.

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.

Our goal for the upcoming year is that in addition to other activities, we will continue to maintain the strong retail presence at Ridgedale, which grew in 2011 and produced December sales of $11,000, nearly five times our projected budget. 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. This fiscal year, our goal is to grow participation/income in series classes by a minimum of five percent. In addition, we plan to increase the number of community partners from 60 to 75 and the number of outreach program participants from 7,500 to 8,500. Last year more than half of these participated at low or no cost. Our goal is to maintain this ratio this fiscal year. Participant statistics are gathered using different methods. Our class registrations are tracked in the Raiser's Edge event module. All series classes (adults, children and youth),workshop, and summer camp program registrations are recorded with payment at the time of registration. Outreach program participation is tracked and reported by the instructor. Ridgedale visitation is tallied by on site staff using a handheld clicker.

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%.

Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day.

Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore.

Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%. North House staff tracked all course catalog participants and membership, comparing last year's data to this year's numbers. North House's Programs Committee - made up of instructors, staff, board, and community members - meets monthly to discuss enrollment reports and strategize around course programming. Similarly, North House's Development Committee - composed of staff, board, and community members - meets on a monthly basis to review membership reports, financial summaries, and design outreach strategies.","In October 2012, North House offered its second annual Family Weekend featuring 10 family-oriented courses, a family contra dance, and a family storytelling session.

June's Wooden Boat Show included a family contra dance, the annual Solstice Puppet Show, and a new family storytelling session. Over 1,000 people attended the Puppet Show. Over 30 local youth and parents/adults participated as performers. During Northern Fiber Retreat, North House co-hosted a family program with the local Fiber Guild, resulting in participation from 15 adult-child pairs.

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. To date: We were a part of a pilot study conducted by MAP for Non-profits to establish our technology priorities. National Endowment for the Arts funding for Web site enhancements is secured. The Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation granted us interior and exterior paint. The finance committee is detailing the components of the new financial model. A consultant is scheduled to train the board and staff on donor cultivation. Member surveys have helped us re-define rates and benefits. 2: Two increased outreach objectives include targeted marketing and member cultivation. Outcomes for marketing include the implementation of a pre-event marketing checklist, and a post-event evaluation form. The pre-event checklist ensures all targets are met in a timely manner. The post-event evaluation form documents marketing strategies and outcomes, financial data, participant feedback, volunteer hours, and audience headcounts.

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.

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.

Starting in 2013, after a baseline is established, we will also measure what percent return to seek out additional arts opportunities. This is separate from and in addition to Arts Learning project goals. The primary measurement tool used for this outcome is attendance and participation logs. We have just developed an 'in-event' survey for arts infused activities to help measure the following: participant satisfaction, likelihood of repeat participation, and the degree to which the activity increased a sense of connection to and pride in the neighborhood. Additional evidence of the effectiveness of the arts infused activities are the assessment results for each of the human service programs. We are looking at these results over time to analyze the extent to which we can link arts participation to enhanced individual progress. Each program has a logic model and evaluation plan that includes collecting data about demographics, participant satisfaction, and attainment of specific program goals such as reduced truancy or meeting developmental milestones. 2: We will reach a diverse population of over 11,500 people through Pillsbury House Theatre-based programming: 5,250 through the Mainstage Season, including Late Nite and Naked Stages; 5,250 through Breaking Ice performances; 1,000 through youth focused arts programming, including youth and audiences; 2,500 individuals attending professional Mainstage events at very low or no cost; and 300 artists from diverse backgrounds participating in creating high quality arts experiences. Pillsbury House Theatre has a comprehensive evaluation plan that identifies four key evaluation areas: 1) excellent in the arts, 2) effectiveness of arts integration strategies in achieving program outcomes, 3) engagement of the community, and 4) organizational learning culture. Multiple evaluation strategies and assessment tools are used in order to generate a robust picture of the impact of Pillsbury House Theatre's programs and activities. The primarily quantitative results detailed above are collected using online ticketing reports, ClientTrack database attendance and demographic reports, and aggregated audience survey data. Also regularly collected are individual stories, reviews, and media notices. Youth programs use a pre/post staff observation rubric to assess increases in youth capacities. 2012 pre/post youth capacity data shows a full point gain (on a scale of 1-4) in each of the seven Cs of youth development: Character, Competence, Confidence, Connection, Compassion, Creativity, and Contribution.","Pillsbury House Theatre infused arts into the human service programs and services of the Pillsbury House Neighborhood Center providing 2,770 total individuals with an arts experience as part of their regular interaction with their community center. Of these, we estimate that 359 are new for fiscal year 2013, exceeding our proposed goal of 250. A couple of examples of arts infused activities include: (1) programming the Pillsbury House lobby as a gallery in partnership with Obsidian Arts, which hosts the work of excellent visual artists of color in a familiar neighborhood setting; the exhibits include collaborative opening receptions and self-guided instructional materials; (2) the creation of the PHAT mobile, a mobile screen printing lab that allows us to take art-making to places and participants during outreach and home visiting activities; (3) creating a Breaking Ice performance to advance racial equity in Minnesota in partnership with groups across the state. 2: Pillsbury House Theatre's ongoing programs reached 11,317 people in 2012. This includes 6,743 mainstage attendees; 2,448 Breaking Ice audience members; 1,503 people participating in youth focused programs - including youth and audiences; 300 individuals attending Arts on Chicago events; and 323 artists. 2,900 people attended mainstage performances for no or low cost. Mainstage attendance increased by 6% even with fewer total performances in 2012. 37% of participants identified as low-income, 38% are people of color, and 20% live in the neighborhoods surrounding the theatre (a 2% increase over the previous year).

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.

Outcomes: Red Eye will launch a two-year pilot program for an artist fellow position designed to provide a practical overview of day-to-day operations, along with programming and production experience. At least one of fiscal year 2012's Works-In-Progress artists will be offered a chance to further develop his/her work as a participant in the fiscal year 2013 Isolated Acts program. The Isolated Acts artists submit narrative evaluations that address the quality of their experience in the program at Red Eye. These are reviewed by staff and shared with the Board. We use the feedback in these to tweak the program's design and to help us demonstrate the value of the program as articulated by those we serve. 2: Red Eye will be a leading facilitator of critical feedback sessions for artists developing performance works. Outcomes: Artists will learn reflective tools to help them continually improve the quality of their work, and will be provided opportunities to practice those tools. The community of artists practicing critical response protocols to dialogue about each other’s work will expand. The quality of the performances that result provide evidence of the effectiveness of these protocols. As to value, each of the artists served highlighted the critical response sessions in their evaluations as an essential component of the program.","Red Eye will extend the continuum of opportunities for the authentic engagement of the next generation of artists and artistic leadership. Not only did Red Eye feature one of the 2012 Works-In-Prog artists in the 2013 Isolated Acts program, we featured new projects by two participants from prior seasons, extending the continuum of artistic opportunities to a total of three emerging artists. In the spring, Red Eye leadership also invited two next generation artists to help design and coordinate a new program for emerging directors/choreographers, for which we are currently fundraising. This program is what the artist fellow idea has morphed into since our original application. 2: Red Eye will be a leading facilitator of critical feedback sessions for artists developing performance works. Red Eye facilitated fourteen critical response sessions during the New Works Four Weeks program, providing feedback to the artists on their pieces throughout the program's six month development period. These sessions involved the twelve primary creators, 35 additional artists collaborating on the projects, and others (artist participants from previous years, colleagues, board members, etc.).

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. We had two public programs: a reception on December 6 for the artists and the public, and an evening of jazz curated by Herman Milligan on December 11.

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.

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",,,https://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.

The solo exhibition and critical essay continue to be firsts in each artist's career.

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%). Another goal was for a 20% increase in prospective members from diverse backgrounds.

The quality of our artistic program remained very strong in fiscal year 2013. Members of staff were awarded for their contributions to the choral community by the Minnesota chapter of the American Choral Director's Association.

20656,"Operating Support",2013,19766,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Faculty artistic development: The Conservatory seeks funding for 16-20 faculty residencies. The residency will allow faculty members to develop a new musical repertoire as artists, not just as teachers. The residency will allow them to develop, practice, and ultimately perform new ensemble repertoires at the Conservatory and with our partner, Saint Paul Public Schools, for youth and at other public venues to exhibit their musicianship and promote the musical arts. Executive Artistic Director Clea Galhano oversaw the progress of the faculty members who participated in the Faculty Residency Program. Galhano tracked the development of each teaching artist, the number of performances, and evaluated the overall success of the program. Faculty members were observed enhancing the mastery of their musical art and craft through careful research, rigorous practice, and the creation of new work. The four public performances of original repertoires supported a thriving arts community by giving the faculty a place to publicly share their artistic growth with enthusiastic audience members, family, friends, and music fans. Over 1,000 new audience members attended these concerts, attesting to the popular reception of the faculty members' repertoires, their artistic development, and to the successful effort of promoting the musical arts in the Twin Cities. 2: Promote musical art learning and appreciation: building on the residency, the Conservatory will use the faculty performances as a means to reach new audience members of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds, as well as to recruit paying and scholarship students to the Conservatory. The Conservatory will reach 1,000 new audience members and 100 new students. Programming targeted disadvantaged youth, adults, and elderly populations living in the St Paul east metro area with free high-quality music performances held in accessible locations and venues. Many of the audience members we reached were individuals who traditionally have not had access to the arts, such as socioeconomically disadvantaged youth of color, special-needs students, low-income seniors, and the chronically ill. Executive Artistic Director Clea Galhano tracked performance and audience member numbers. We recorded a growing popularity and demand for both music lessons and performances, observing audience members' appreciation of the musical arts. We also received regular feedback from audience members that described high level of enthusiasm, interest, and satisfaction among the wide-ranging participants, as well as increased major individual donor gifts demonstrating that we successfully engaged our targeted communities in the musical arts.","The Conservatory supported nineteen faculty members to participate in our Faculty Residency Program. These nineteen professional teaching artists spent funded time developing their artistic repertoires and growing as artists. Each teaching artist was given the independence to guide his or her own particular artistic growth by researching, creating, developing, and practicing new, original musical repertoires that then could be publicly shared. This program gave faculty members a rare and important opportunity for them to challenge themselves to grow as artists independent of their roles as teachers, and also gave them a chance to practice and perform their repertoires collaboratively. Through the end of the Residency Program, the faculty had delivered three world premiers of their original repertoires publicly at the Conservatory and at partner Saint Paul Public Schools. 2: The Conservatory reached over 1,000 new audience members in sixteen public performances held throughout the year at the following locations: University Club (St Paul); Athletic Club (St Paul); Edina Care Center (Edina); James J. Hill Library (St Paul); Sundin Music Hall (St Paul); Mall of America (Bloomington); Regions Hospital (St Paul); Spring Lake Park High School (Spring Lake Park); Twin Cities German Immersion School (St Paul); Hubbs Center (St Paul); and Pre College Elementary School (St Paul). Given the extensive range of public venues where faculty performed, we were able to successfully reach new audience members and new potential students of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from young kids at the Pre College Elementary School, to middle school students at the Twin Cities German Immersion School, to the chronically ill at Regions Hospital, and the elderly at Edina Care Center.

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.

Our training programs are evaluated by feedback from students, parents, and teaching staff, and through periodic classroom observation by department leaders. We quantify outcomes of our school programs and measure their effectiveness through student testing and the use of logic models which articulate desired behavioral and academic performance outcomes. 2: Stages Theatre Company expands outreach and access to underserved communities. In fiscal year 2013, Stages Theatre Company will include a sensory-friendly performance of one production for children on the autism spectrum or with other disabilities; offer selected performances with open captioning; and increase the number of individuals from underserved communities who access Stages Theatre Company programming through the Open Door program by 30% (as compared to fiscal year 2011). In addition to the methods described above that Stages Theatre Company uses to evaluate all its programs, we have begun to explore new ways to measure the improved social functioning of students in its Creative Accepting Sensory-Friendly Theatre program through administration of various autism skills assessments. Stages is working with several partner organizations to develop an evaluation tool that will allow us to see growth in certain basic social skills, including interaction with peers and group participation.","In its 2012-2013 season, Stages Theatre Company presented 8 innovative productions for youth in our community, including 4 world premieres: Duck for President (world premiere); Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (world premiere); Madeline's Christmas; Diary of a Worm A Spider and A Fly; Owl Moon (world premiere); Zen Shorts (world premiere of Theatre for Young Audiences); Cinder Edna; and Disney's Aladdin, Jr. We continue to collaborate with hundreds of schools, social service agencies, and other community organizations to provide high-quality arts programming. Both in our space and out in the community, Stages continues to provide programming that encourages children and youth to reach their full potential both in the classroom and on the stage. We added theatre arts residency programs in kindergarten classes in six Hopkins and two Minneapolis public elementary schools. In total these collaborations allowed us to reach out to over 900 students last year. 2: Stages Theatre Company continues to invest significant organizational resources in its efforts to reach underserved communities, including people with disabilities. Throughout the past year, Stages has 1) added open captioning to two of its 2012-2013 productions; and 2) developed and offered theatre arts classes and a sensory-friendly performance for youth along the autism spectrum. Working with several community organizations and educators in the field of autism, Stages developed a series of classes which were held in fall 2012 and summer 2013 dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for children affected by autism in order to foster self-expression, social engagement, and confidence. Stages also held a sensory friendly performance of Owl Moon on March 9, 2013. During this performance, house lights were dimmed, sound volumes were lowered and audience members were allowed and encouraged to move around the theatre space as needed.",,1975750,Other,2032874,,"Kristin Parrish, John Butcher, Susan Allen, Lisa Kline, Dawn Holicky Pruitt, Laura Bishop, Jeb Burke, Lisa Clemens, Lisa Collins, Karen Winter Dekker, Rusty Field, Barry Gersick, Todd Harmsen, Darrick Hills, Marc Jennings, Mimi Keating, Lisa Lentini, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Elizabeth Plaetz Lori, Dave Mahler, Jolene Nelson-Helm, Tiffany Richter, Laura Sandall, Judy Schumeister, Bryan Wall, Wayne Zeien",0.5,"Stages Theatre Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Lisa,Zellmer,"Stages Theatre Company","1111 Main St",Hopkins,MN,55343,"(952) 979-1132 ",lzellmer@stagestheatre.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-269,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

The company's artistic directors will create at least one new work each season. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theatre used a number of methods to evaluate the achievement of this outcome, including audience numbers, our Talk Piece post-performance audience/performer dialogue following each performance, electronic feedback through Facebook and email, follow-up discussions with presenters, and press response. Twin Cities Public Television produced a special on the company's performance and community-inclusive work for the Minnesota Originals program, which aired both before and after the company's Cowles Season. In addition, Classical Minnesota Public Radio was an official media sponsor for our 2012/13 season. Audience comments include: I am very appreciative that this performance by Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater was made possible by a grant provided by the Minnesota State Arts Board. 'Total Surrender' was very powerful. Cued by the production date, I felt the emotions of 9/11. My main impression was the change from the imprinted images of the exterior of the Twin Towers being hit and crumpling to your interior view of what it may have felt like to be inside. Great art! 2: Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater will continue to expand its community inclusive, healthcare, and education programs. These community programs will reach out to people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities, helping to weave the arts into everyday life. The company will continue to create dance/theater projects for diverse populations. For our Community Connections programs, we utilize a number of different tools to evaluate outcomes. These include: daily assessment meetings between participating teachers and company staff, student evaluations, teacher evaluations, staff feedback, parent responses, participant evaluation forms, selected individual interviews, audience feedback, exit interviews with partner agency staff, electronic surveys. Recent feedback includes: The company taught a vast range of classes, created a new work on our student dancers, and presented a rich and thought provoking concert for our college and local community at the end of the residency. Every member of the company was caring, creative, energetic, and rigorous in their work with the students. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater is continuing to have a very positive impact upon the dancing and personal lives of our students. The movement portions were wonderful.

At the Cowles, we premiered a new work, Walking, Singing, and Other Habits, by Stuart Pimsler, as well as presenting company repertory. Walking celebrates the happenstance, exploring everyday lives as a collection of smaller moments and realizations. It features the entire company, with costumes by Sonya Berlovitz and lighting by Karin Olson. The company was also presented in performance at Vermilion Community College Theater in Ely, Weber Music Hall in Duluth, Saint Olaf Studio Theater in Northfield, Capri Theater in Minneapolis, and Historic Holmes Theater in Detroit Lakes. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater also mounted a gallery exhibition, Art in the Everyday, at the Kolman Gallery in Minneapolis. In anticipation of our 35th anniversary next year, the exhibition featured scenic elements, props, and costumes from throughout our history which have helped to create the company's distinctive performance aesthetic. 2: Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater continued our Community Connections programs throughout the year, engaging people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities.

Tactics include: introducing the new Artistic Director to Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus audiences and constituents; acquiring new audience members to offset anticipated loss of audience with the departure of our current Artistic Director and the arrival of his replacement; and sustaining and enhancing the quality of the concert season and outreach activities through dynamic programming and musicians. Success is defined by number of new and returning Chorus members, number of new and returning season ticket holders, and increases in ticket sales for our annual holiday concerts and spring concerts.

Similarly, staff hiring is acting affirmatively in its pursuit of seasonal and year-round employees. Marketing efforts to identify, welcome, and invite populations of color will match programmatic efforts.

Theatre l’Homme Dieu will also brand its facilities and compound to be a place of assembly for people of all ages from throughout Central Minnesota, featuring high school performances, summer theatre and dance classes, and civic meetings, as well as serving as a gathering place for social, fraternal, and professional associations. We will use 2011 statistical data as a guide and track the breadth and diversity of audiences via data base analysis and surveys, in terms of expanded geographic reach, in terms of race and culture, and in terms of age.","During the 2012 season, 53 artists worked at Theatre L'Homme Dieu. All six companies that came to the theatre during that season were Minnesota based companies. In 2013, all six companies will, once again, be Minnesota based companies, and it is anticipated that at least 70 artists, musical directors, musicians, directors, dancers and technicians will be a part of the season, all of whom are based in Minnesota as well. 2: Theatre L'Homme Dieu continues to work on this through the use of surveys.

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 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.

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.

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.

In March 2013, we acquired and implemented Associate Management Software, and other supporting technology to upgrade our database and that system's capacity to interact with our Web site and accounting software. With an increase in online readership and a growing and active Web audience, Weavers Guild has technologically positioned itself to move the organization in a positive, engaging direction.

Outcomes: by fiscal year 2013, the total number of youth served by Youth Performance Company classes and the Young Artists Council has increased by 35%. By fiscal year 2013, Young Artist Council activities have increased by 20%. This goal aligns with the goals that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts; and the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. For the first set of outcomes, The Youth Performance Company staff directors met periodically to review goals around Youth Performance Company classes and Young Artist Council. Throughout the year, the Director of Education adjusted tactics to try to reach class enrollment goals. The Assistant Director works closely with the Young Artist Council to plan their season of activities and monitor their work. This year, we explored new possibilities around evaluating our programs and our engagement with youth. Youth Performance Company was introduced to the Youth Work Institute and the Youth Program Quality Assessment tool. When we examined the tool, we concluded that it would be a good fit for our variety of programs providing valuable feedback to strengthen the Youth Performance Company way. This evaluation method was focused on our engagement with youth activities and was not applicable to our Arts Board operating support grant. We do feel a need to mention it here in order for the Arts Board and others stakeholders to understand how deeply Youth Performance Company values evaluation. 2: Youth Performance Company’s audience values the development of teens through theatre.

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.

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.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.","Art therapy at the Cancer Care Research Center was increased from 1x -2x per month. Serving on average ten people/month. This allowed patients participating to receive more frequent follow up, care and instruction in the arts. Art therapy is a safe place where the use of arts can be paired with emotional and mental health care. We have created a supportive environment that uses the arts as part of the healing and recovery process in cancer. The arts serve to help patients develop new coping skills that reduce stress and anxiety leading to an improved recovery and future prevention of chronic illness. Because of this change the individual participation was more consistent, deeper relationships were formed and greater progress in healing reported. We used an informal evaluation survey with each patient to assess their experience with the art therapy sessions. 100% of patients surveyed reported a positive experience by participating in the arts and would consider participating in similar experiences in the future. The barriers were identified by our art therapist who provides the direct service to patients. The most consistent barrier we face is to engage the public in participating in the art therapy sessions. Art can be intimidating for some people as they fear not being adequate to complete a project. We are not able to fully mitigate the barriers as these are an ongoing challenge with the public; however we learn new strategies that help us better connect the message we are trying communicate. We have developed a promotional video that we are using on our organizations website and on iPads that can be viewed by patients in the waiting room. The promotional video gives an excellent definition of art therapy and its benefits.

Some participants would not have been able to be a part of the workshops if we had not made the accommodations we did.","This project addressed language, cultural, and economic barriers to arts participation. The project involved Iraqis and Iraqi-Americans in the process of creating books and videos about their own stories, an artistic process in which they would not otherwise have been able to participate. We identified these barriers through our experience working with the Iraqi refugee community, and in soliciting advice from social service organizations and our refugee mental health liaison. We recruited participants through social service agencies and using local Iraqi community leaders. Where necessary, we provided Arabic translation to participants and made clear in our recruiting efforts that participants did not need to be fluent in English to participants. We reimbursed participants for transportation costs, provided culturally appropriate food at workshop events, and provided rides to participants and traveled to participants' homes when necessary. We took care to offer participants anonymity, and spent a good deal of time talking with participants about the concerns they had in sharing their art with the broader public in Minnesota. Finally, we had an on-call counselor with experience in working with refugee mental health issues. 2: The Advocates for Human Rights, the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project, and two independent artists came together to give voice to Iraqis living in Minnesota through art that they created in workshops. The art and stories were used to produce educational resources for students. All parties worked together well, and by virtue of the end results of the grant and the fact that the process was smooth, we consider the project to have been very successful. The organizations and artists will host a reception this fall for the participants and the broader public, and will continue to use one another as a resource.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We achieved our goal in serving thirty-six new youth, and we had seventy-four total participants, including all youth, mentors and parents. We used two methods to eliminate barriers. First, we made the workshops open to all youths and their mentors and/or parents, which, by including adults in the activities, eliminated the barrier to transportation. Secondly, in support of that effort, we promoted the workshops to parents and mentors rather than to youths.","The primary outcome of this project was the provision of three workshops for at-risk youth, culminating in live performances that addressed and eliminated multiple barriers to participation in arts for youth in Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities’ programs. Our organization has served youth for over eighty years. From experience, we know that lack of transportation, lack of resources and lack of a responsible adult to “drive” the event provide the main barriers to arts participation. Youth are usually open to new experiences, but, without an adult to provide encouragement and transportation, they simply cannot manage to participate in those experiences. By inviting parents and mentors to participate, we addressed the transportation barrier, and, by making the event free, we addressed the issue of lack of resources. Due to the structure of our program, we can usually count on an adult mentor to provide transportation to as well as support, encouragement, and organization necessary for participation in arts events. Unfortunately, however, such measures only temporarily eliminate barriers to youth participation, as they cease to be relevant when youth leave our program. 2: We increased the probability that workshop participants will involve themselves in future theater productions. We enjoyed collaborating with the staff at Harmony Theater, as they worked very well with both youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. Harmony reported that our partnership offered them an opportunity to serve a population outside of their traditional white, middle-class demographic, which felt meaningful to them. Recently, Harmony proposed a new joint project between our organizations. We had thirty-six youth and seventy-four total participants in our workshops, which met our participation goal. We leveraged the trust in our relationships with parents and mentors of youth in our programs to promote and encourage participation. We also made participation in the workshops available to parents in addition to youth and their mentors.

Over 200 staff, children and parents attended the theatrical production. A parent event was planned and conducted sharing an Early Bridges lesson with Parents In Community Action families. Our target community and our annual community assessment information indicated that Head Start children and families are often the poorest of the poor in our local community. Low-income families often do not have the financial resources or time to access artistic opportunities for their children. Many families also face language and/or cultural barriers to accessing the arts. The Early Bridges Program was effective in reducing these barriers. They brought the arts directly to the classrooms and provided an opportunity for children and families to attend a theatrical performance. 2: We increased parent participation in the classroom and on field trip days to the Children’s Theatre Company. Due to the grant funding, the agency was able to have performance tickets donated to families that lived in the area for the children and families that did not participate in the grant funded classrooms. Verbal feedback was asked of the participants. Many of this was done verbally through a translator. Parents also signed in on the Family Attendance Sheets with their respective classroom. Teachers, parents and administrators participated by being an audience member in the classroom while the teaching artist acted-out an interactive story. In addition to that, teachers and administrators participated in the actual story-telling production in the classroom.

While some may have higher levels of function, the majority are vastly more compromised by both physical and developmental disabilities and the additional challenge of serious and persistent mental health concerns and medically fragile conditions. Physical barriers are typically the easiest to mitigate. However, the challenge of meeting the needs of such a broad range of intellectual disabilities required a good deal of creative thinking. The CLIMB Theatre team established a profile of our clients that enabled them to tailor each performance to the differing abilities at each center. Intellectual barriers were mitigated for the duration of the program. 2: This partnership brought a live, customized theatrical experience to over 300 individuals for whom a typical theater going opportunity is not an appropriate option.

More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Through a combination of networking, advertising, and forging partnerships with local businesses, we hope to reach out to three distinct groups that have been previously underserved.","With CurbCulture, the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the Pillsbury House + Theatre worked with three distinct groups which may experience barriers to participation in the arts and/or community-building. These groups were inner city, low income youth; neighborhood artists (new and established); and locally-owned businesses on Chicago Avenue. Over eighty neighborhood youth developed an exciting and innovative art exhibit that community members took pride in, thereby building perceived value for the young people by adults in the community. The twenty-one exhibiting artists ranged from internationally known artists to emerging, first time exhibitors. Eighteen business owners whom previously were not connected to either Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association or Pillsbury House became engaged in a formal arts partnership, inviting exhibition attendees to visit their locations. Businesses were given artist sandwich boards to keep, therefore becoming mini neighborhood galleries for the foreseeable future. Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House have worked in this community for a combined 50+ years. From this wealth of experience and conversations with residents, we acknowledge the inadequate level of resources for youth, artists and businesses. CurbCulture invited three underserved groups to work together to create an art exhibit to reflect the uniqueness of the neighborhood. Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House connections with members of these groups are enhanced. Furthermore, youth, artists and businesses established personal connections. Future communication, networking and projects will be easier. 2: Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House partnered to bring three underserved communities together - these were middle school youth, artists from the Powderhorn Park and Central neighborhoods, and the eighteen locally owned small businesses. CurbCulture is a successful example of arts-based creative place-making that knitted community assets together to form this final exhibit. It required participation and buy in from all five constituents. This project solidified Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House’s partnership and formalized its relationship which has led to several significant developments, including: partnering and receiving a 2012 ArtsPlace grant for $250,000, developing ongoing project partnerships, and the continued inclusion of Powderhorn Park neighborhood artists Xavier Tavera and Peter Haakon Thompson, as artists directly involved in future Pillsbury House public art projects. Pillsbury House is an essential partner education in Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association activities such as the Powderhorn Art Fair, the Powderhorn Artist Mixers, graffiti prevention, abatement and, and several place-making projects.

We measured our intended outcomes by the number of arts related projects we were able to accomplish over the past year that we would not have been able to do without this relationship. Through the Partners in Arts Participation grant we were able to design and produce t-shirts for staff, volunteers and community residents that we previously had never been able to do. We hosted a community arts activity for our back to school event. And we created a Summer Guide booklet that was produced and printed 10,000 copies to distribute across the north side of Minneapolis. The tools and methods obviously varied with each project, but all were projects we previously did not have the funds, skills or staff capacity to accomplish before the grant. 2: As a secondary outcome of our partnership, we were able to produce a Northside Summer Arts and Community Guide that contained arts and community activities happening in north Minneapolis between June and September. This guide helped us highlight the many great programs happening our community from large to small organizations and it provided a great leverage and marketing opportunity for many other organizations that couldn't themselves leverage the reach our Summer Guide had. This tool helped to overcome a real barrier to communication about programming and we were able to address this in a small way through this method. We hope to continue the summer guide next year as well. Juxtaposition helped us additionally with our marketing for our largest community event, Live on the Drive.

As this was the first time the two organizations had worked together, we needed to communicate daily about scheduling, adjustments to curriculum, and suggestions from Teachers.

This has provided a wealth of information that we can use to deepen and improve our arts access program with Magic Lantern at The Family Partnership. 2: The Family Partnership children saw a puppet show first. According to the evaluations, overall the children displayed a higher than average level of engagement during these performances. They remembered the story and showed increased interest in storytelling and playing with the center’s hand puppets. They also enjoyed the puppet-making and created their own imaginary creatures, like the heroine in the show. The Director said that this showed a greater use of executive functions.

Secondly, limited resources for appropriately staffing arts activities was a barrier. This Grant allowed us to engage professional artists from Great River Shakespeare and Winona Oratorio into valued and adapted experiences in acting and singing to engage participants at everyone's ability. Great appreciation/enjoyment was observed during the six acting and singing activities with a total of 53 participants with disabilities involved in this opportunity (goal was 35). With the staffing funds from the grant individuals with disabilities were able to participate in the music and acting experiences and then 20 individuals (goal of 12) auditioned and were selected into the cast of the community musical, Seussical. Three individuals of the 20 had speaking roles in the musical and all were integrated into a cast of seventy. 2: Home and Community Options has core values of establishing experiences for people with disabilities that have true community integration and develop natural relationships with others in the community, especially with those who are friends and neighbors. The production of Seussical as a community theater event allowed us to integrate our clients with disabilities directly into the community arts. More than 2,700 people engaged or observed this experience and 20 individuals with disabilities were cast members in a cast of 70. In addition, 42 other individuals with disabilities had community integrated experiences using the theater experience by performing emcee, greeter, back stage, vending or set building experiences.

Every veteran bellmaker has his or her own story, like this one, from a spouse: It's hard to describe the pride and confidence and joy my spouse has been filled with since finishing the bell casting project. He takes great pride bringing it to events and articulating the process of making the bell and the mission of Vets for Peace. He was so shy, but his public speaking skills are ringing out like his bell. Our bell ringing for peace happens at many events here, not just November 11, and now at least one of the veteran made bells goes, with mention of the Arts Board grant and the process. The bells will go to our national convention in August to ring out the beginning. When we were at Festival of Nations, many students were English Second Language, often from war-torn countries. They expressed joy that veterans were working for peace, and there was often talk of We could do a project like that at school. All this, and I work part-time for Plymouth Church, running a program for adults with mental illness (not necessarily veterans, but mental health issues for veterans duly noted). Several times, as we worked on the bells, artists we encountered expressed interest in creating art experiences for this population. This is all narrative/anecdotal evaluation, but we experienced a great rippling out of excitement and inspiration from just making it all happen. Project was designed to give a small group of veterans the opportunity to create their own bell, an iconic artifact that historically has rung out for peace, but perhaps more often been melted into weapons for use in war-making. This is healing on so many levels. The grant called for a closing program, which we staged at Plymouth Church on March 20, World Storytelling Day. 150 people came, maybe 1.0 from Plymouth, One minister sent a note, Thank you so much for bringing this amazing program to Plymouth. It was so powerful and moving. We thought that wonderful night was the end, but then the Festival of Nations (also supported by Arts and Heritage Fund) heard about us and asked us to be there with a Peace Bells exhibit and bell ringing and stories on the stage each hour. There seems to be a contagious excitement about this that just won't stop. Two of our veteran belimakers are visual artists, but most are not. I'm a veteran and a storyteller, but normally would not have opted to do something like this.

Residents were also less likely to attend events in the past due to fear of going to an event in an unknown place by themselves.

This encouraged them to utilize the opportunity because going with a friend made them feel more comfortable. We obtained confirmation on meeting this objective through participant interviews. 2: Although the Sheldon Theater is located in relatively close proximity to the housing facility, due to the previously described barriers the majority of residents had not attended past performances. Since this partnership, the theater has developed an understanding of the barriers faced by the residents regarding access to performances and they have agreed to work with us outside of the grant program to help make performances more accessible for our residents.

Challenges such as language and finances make arts participation more difficult for this population than other groups. By actively approaching the participants in this project to recruit them, as well as Dangerous Production’s goal to create a project that would genuinely interest the artists, we guaranteed a higher participation rate. When challenges in participation came up, such as transportation of the young artists, we came up with a ride-sharing plan. The problem of appropriate footwear for parkour also presented itself as a challenge early on. To remedy this, we contacted individual donors with a specific ask of donating for footwear. 2: Partnerships are developed between social service organizations, artists, and arts organizations to better serve underserved communities: There were some great and unexpected outcomes to this project. The media spots that we were featured in gave our project a higher profile than we anticipated, and because of this we made some great connections, including World Refugee Day, and a staff member of Goodwill looking to connect with Karen workers.

Among these issues are mental illness, chronic health conditions, cognitive disabilities, and traumatic brain injury. Those who face these issues often cannot find safe places to create, learn about art and explore personal creativity. Many lacked self-esteem, and feared being stigmatized because of the combination of their current living situation and the illness issues with which they are faced. Many never had a chance to explore their artistic abilities because they felt intimidated or overwhelmed in formal classroom settings. As we planned the classroom activities, we also created and used a series of written inventories, before and after each series of classes. We also engaged participants in individual and group conversations, to discern their progress. We saw these barriers lessen, as they became engaged in a variety of high quality arts activities led by professional artist/teachers this year. 2: We partnered with ArtiCulture because of their successful programming for people with a variety of mental and physical health challenges, their belief that art should be accessible to all, and their dedication to inspiring social change through art.

These students also became successful in their ability to practice Saori weaving techniques at an almost independent level where the teaching artist provided minimal support. This achievement was assessed based on each person's ability to complete pieces to present in a gallery show scheduled for October 2014. 2: The six students with disabilities are an artistically underserved population in that access to a skill and art form like Saori weaving would not have presented itself without the creation of an opportunity such that this grant allowed. The TSE, Inc. and Weavers Guild of Minnesota partnership became so strong that it developed beyond the grant. The teaching artist is continuing to volunteer to work with these students to further grow their Saori weaving skills. The result has also been that a new community partnership has developed with Homewood Studios for these students to share their Saori journey and art with the public.",,,,3888,,"Steve Lilly, Mary Kay Carlson, David Strock, Ellen Hill, Jerry Biese, James McClean, Tim Moore, Jamison Randall, Deb Weston, Marlene Krumrie, Mike Fleming, Kevin Kelly",0.00,"TSE Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Partners in Arts Participation",,"TSE will create an artist-in residence weaving program to support Weavers Guild teaching artists for six TSE students.

Both Youth Farm and Juxtaposition Arts bring years of youth development and community organizing experience, and Saint Olaf Community Campus provides many existing social services to neighbors and community members across North Minneapolis. One artist from Juxtaposition Arts worked with a Youth Farm summer staff member to plan and implement an eight week public art installation on the side of a 40 foot long steel shipping container. The container was repurposed to accommodate storage for a communal tool lending library that is used by Youth Farm programming and community members throughout the growing season. The Juxtaposition Arts artist and Youth Farm staff engaged youth, community members and residents of the assisted living facility at Saint Olaf Community Campus in every step of the design and implementation phases of the project. Youth and community elders worked together several times per week throughout the summer to create a large mural focusing on urban agriculture, food access and healthy eating. The mural was unveiled at the community wide Youth Farm Harvest Festival on August 11, 2013. 2: Through this strong partnership between Juxtaposition Arts, Saint Olaf Community Campus and Youth Farm, young people, elders, community members and artists were able to come together and learn from another through art. Youth Farm youth, Saint Olaf Community Campus residents and community member participation in Saint Olaf Community Campus services and programs increased in some areas as great as 50%.

We evaluated the results of our efforts through pre-and post-activity surveys to parents and caregivers, post-activity surveys to clinical staff, and post-activity facilitated discussions amongst staff and artists. Through their contact with, and knowledge of the children, clinical staff identified economic challenges, parental/caregiver challenges, and the children’s mental health status as the primary barriers to participation in high-quality arts experiences. Barriers were temporarily mitigated for all children by virtue of all participating in the funded activities. Whether barriers were permanently mitigated will vary from child to child based upon family circumstances and the degree to which the child has the skills and is motivated to self-initiate and self-advocate for further arts experiences. Some children certainly have this ability but determining to what extent this is true for all the participating children would require long-term tracking and is beyond the capacity of funding. 2: As a result of collaborating on the project over the course of many weeks, we established productive and rewarding relationships between us and our two partner arts organizations, Upstream Arts and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.

This was measured via surveys which frequently noted that without the grant, finances, including transportation, would limit the older adults from participating. Social barriers were also overcome measured via survey results which told us that our older adults ""would not have done this alone, felt they made a contribution to the group, made new friends or strengthened friendships, and found new ways to be creative"" as a result of their experiences. Physical barriers were overcome by having a handicap accessible vehicle, which most of the older adults used, and by having nursing staff attend whenever needed to assist with restrooms and transfers from wheelchairs to theater seats. This was measured by the 100% success in all residents who wished to participate being able to regardless of physical ailments. Physical, social and financial barriers were identified by our older adults prior to submitting the grant application. Concerns were voiced about being nervous to try new things and intimidated by social stigmas relating to hearing or vision loss and on occasion cognition concerns. Thru our surveys we noted that the predominant concerns regarding participating in the future were financial and transportation. The results of our surveys show that barriers were temporarily mitigated when evaluated in the context of ""free, transportation provided and knowing they would be going with friends and staff.""

The final evaluation report will be completed in May. Mentors were also asked to complete an evaluation that included detailed narrative questions as well as their assessment of their mentees' progress and preparation as a teaching artist in an older adult setting or working with elders. Four of five mentors gave their experience the highest rating possible (very satisfied), with the other identifying it as satisfactory. Collectively, the mentors identified ten artist-participants--more than one-third—whom they believe capable of moving into a master trainer role.","Held five Introduction to Aging Workshops during the final week of October 2013 that attracted 292 participants (exceeding goal). Sites included Fergus Falls, Grand Rapids, Austin, St. Cloud and Minneapolis. Key presenters included Jeanne Bayer, Andrea Lewandowski, Joey Clark, Jeanie Brindley-Barnett and Jane Tygesson. Evaluations on site and given via follow up email survey were overwhelmingly positive. Respondents noted how critical is was to get foundational knowledge that combined arts learning with key information about the aging process -- as well as new research documenting the positive impact of professionally-conducted arts activities for elders. In addition to actual participation numbers, pre-and post- assessments were used at all training activities. A follow-up survey (via Survey Monkey) was created and distributed to Intro to Arts and Aging workshop participants that asked questions about critical learning areas, what content could be added, facilities and pacing, and whether their community would be interested in hosting a subsequent conference. 2: 55 individual artists and 18 arts organizations applied; 30 artists and 8 arts organizations were selected to participate. Of this group, 26 artists and 7 arts organizations completed the training program. A majority are female, reflecting the large number of females to males in the applicant pool. More than 10 percent are artists of color—a proportion that we believe is commensurate with the larger artist/teaching artist population. As a group, they represent a variety of ages, both chronological age and 'career age,' ranging from their 20s to late 60s; in terms of discipline, about half work with visual arts; slightly more than one -third in theatre arts; and the balance in dance, music, literary arts, or film. Arts organizations included two from Greater Minnesota and five from the Twin Cities metro. Participant summary survey data is appended here. For the arts organization evaluation (still underway), ArtSage contracted with an evaluator from the National Center for Creative Aging to develop and implement a logic model for the arts organization track.

This is a cooperative project between the City of Lindstrom and the Chisago Lakes Lake Improvement District. This 66 acre catchment receives runoff water from residential, commercial downtown and light industrial areas. The park is used as a playground in summer and an ice skating rink in winter. The storm sewer is not sized to handle runoff from wider streets and more impervious surfaces and the outlet in South Lindstrom Lake is under water. During high rain events sediment is carried into the lake and creates a large delta three to four feet below the surface of the water, which also creates a hazard at the private beach area where the outlet is located. Due to the lack of upstream treatment, debris (cigarette butts, papers, cups) is carried directly into the lake and deposited on the shoreline. Filtration and holding areas upstream of the lake will resolve these issues.

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. Patrons at the public performance were asked to complete surveys to find out if this project attracted new audiences to dance performances or if this project changed perceptions of contemporary/modern dance.

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.

Educational outcomes: each of our six choirs will learn specific musical, dance, and theatrical material with the outcome of performing two performances. There is a structured weekly schedule of incremental instruction for each age group, one hour each week for youngest choirs, approximately two hours per week for middle and high school age choirs. Additional instructional and preparation time is employed in the week prior to each major project. 2. For each choir student to grow in understanding of singing and style by performing a variety of repertoire that will expand their knowledge base according to their age and commensurate with their skill level. Members learn how different musical styles need to be approached differently from a technical perspective. 3. For students to grow in understanding of music theory, especially harmony, through practice and performance of multi-part music which requires each member to learn to listen intently while singing in order to hear the proper balance of parts. 4. To culminate all weekly, structured learning through a concert performance, so students will profit by their hard work and preparation by presenting the results of their efforts for family, friends, and the community. 5. For the members of the choir, the family members, and the community to observe performances from staff at a very high level, and to witness what professionalism and musical expertise looks like. To increase awareness of choir families and community of the talent of the staff so that they see artistic staff experience and skills as performers and musicians and not just teachers. 6. To maintain educational and artistic offerings of the Command Performance Choirs in the region. 7. To offer accessibility to our performances for seniors in the communities that we perform. 8. Boys/Girls Club collaboration: this is beneficial to advance our mission and the mission of the Boys/Girls Club to provide arts education or enrichment opportunities youth in the region.Outcomes 1 and 2 are measured based on musical exactness, instructor feedback, improvement of singing, technique and interpretation as assessed by the instructors throughout the course. Learned material: students learn material and performance skills by rehearsing, practicing, skill building, and performing. Outcome 3 is evaluated by constant critique by the instructors during instructional and rehearsal times, and Outcome 4 is measured by conducting the concert and surveying members of the choir and the families involved to gauge artist and audience response and appreciation. Outcome 5 is evaluated by post concert assessment or survey of choir members and families. Outcome 6 is evaluated by the continuity of our program and the maintenance of artistic program offerings for regional youth. We will achieve outcome 7 by direct contact with local senior housing facilities, to personally invite them to our performances. We will engage survey methods for parents and board members to assess educational and overall effectiveness in achieving outcomes and meeting organizational goals.

The motivation of young musicians who stay with the Suzuki program long enough to enable them to play orchestral pieces on Buffalo Community Orchestra's level will be gauged by the numbers of students increasing year after year, eventually joining Buffalo Community Orchestra as regular members even by the middle school ages. We expect these student members of Buffalo Community Orchestra to remain steady or grow beyond the 20% level. Buffalo Community Orchestra membership is a time and energy commitment for them beyond their involvement in school orchestras, but it launches them into adult and lifetime music, which is a goal of Buffalo Community Orchestra.Audience numbers exceeding 350 and ticket sales of at least $1900 will reflect how well our publicity has reached out into nearby communities; this figure is derived from past March ticket sale records, especially for 2009, when Dr. Burgdorf last performed. We will hope to see new faces from our large medical community (practitioners and patients) as well as increased student attendance. This will be evident in scanning the audience and at the post-concert reception, where our music leaders and board members will directly solicit feedback on our performance of this music.

",,"Activity 1 Complete design and all permit requirements for a ""sweeping"" electrical barrier at Lock and Dam 1. The MN DNR believed that the best approach to keep Invasive Carp out of the upper Mississippi River watershed was to close the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock. The lock is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers and required an act of Congress to shut down. Minnesota senators and representatives successfully added an amendment to the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) that called for Upper St. Anthony Falls lock closure within one year of passage of the bill. The bill passed both chambers of the federal legislature and was signed into law by President Obama on June 10, 2014. Lock closure happened June 10, 2015.   Prior to lock closure, the MN DNR initiated an invasive carp deterrent project at Lock and Dam 1 based on the status of carp population at the time and the uncertain political will to close a federal lock.  The DNR contracted with Smith-Root Inc. to design an electrical barrier at Lock and Dam 1.  With the passage of the 2014 WRRDA bill, construction of a Lock and Dam 1 barrier was not necessary. But, due to the timing of passage of the bill, there was no cost savings by terminating the design contract for the electrical barrier. Also, by completing the design, the MN DNR has a better understanding of the costs, potential effectiveness, and safety concerns associated with this technology. The contractor submitted a final design to the DNR in 2014. Activity 2 Complete design, acquire permits, and construct deterrent barriers in Minnesota's portion of the Missouri River watershed. Waters in the southwest corner of Minnesota were vulnerable to Invasive Carp expansion from the Missouri River watershed. MN DNR fisheries identified locations to prevent Invasive carp from entering Minnesota waters and from entering the Mississippi River and Minnesota River tributaries through watershed breaches. • Okabena Creek - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR acquired a flowage easement and removed two road culverts. With these culverts removed, the township gravel road acts as a physical berm to separate the watersheds. • Okabena Creek Barrier: The DNR installed an electric barrier by removing two small culverts and installing a 12 foot by 6 foot electrified culvert. The barrier prevents upstream movement of fish. • Little Sioux River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR worked with the Jackson County Soil and Water Conservation District and a private landowner to build up an earthen dike berm to disconnect the watersheds. • Little Sioux River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR worked with the Jackson County Highway Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to install a grate system and tile line caps to prevent fish from moving across a watershed boundary via the tile line system. • Minnesota River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: An earthen plug was installed in a ditch to reestablish watershed disconnection. • Little Sioux River - Rock River Watershed Breach: An earthen plug was installed in a ditch and an outlet structure was modified to reestablish watershed disconnection. • Illinois Lake Protective Barrier: The DNR installed an electric barrier on a WMA downstream of the outlet of Illinois Lake. Activity 3 Develop cost share agreement with State of Iowa to construct barrier at Lower Gar Outlet. A joint powers agreement with Iowa DNR was executed to help share costs on a barrier to prevent Invasive Carp in the Missouri River watershed from entering Minnesota. An electric barrier at the outlet of Lower Gar Lake became fully operational in December 2012. Activity 4 Complete evaluation on feasibility of barriers in the Minnesota River watershed. The Minnesota River is a free flowing system whose watershed covers much of southern Minnesota. The MN DNR contracted with the Water Resource Center at Minnesota State - Mankato on a project to evaluate several Minnesota River aspects including barrier feasibility.  Increasing the understanding of this system aided the DNR in evaluating deterrent barrier potential on the Minnesota River and its tributaries. Additionally, the project provided information on habitat suitability and described the Minnesota/Red River connection.  A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in July 2018. Activity 5 Implement and evaluate deterrent barriers at Lock and Dams. The susceptible portion of the St. Croix River is not conducive to electrical barriers due to the high level of recreational use (safety concerns) and the required cooperation from Wisconsin, which has expressed limited to no interest in constructing a barrier. The best alternative is exploring deterrent technologies in lock(s) below the confluence with the Mississippi River. The MN DNR contracted with the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center to evaluate the potential effectiveness of flow modifications and an existing acoustic deterrent in Mississippi River Lock and Dam 8 to prevent Invasive Carp movement.   A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in March 2019. Activity 6 Complete design, acquire permits and construct deterrent barriers in the Minnesota River watershed. The uncertainty associated with a barrier (effectiveness, timeline, cost, native community impacts, and ability to construct) on the Minnesota River was high.  This was substantiated by the evaluation completed by Minnesota State Mankato (Activity 4).  Given this scenario, DNR Fisheries identified high value aquatic resources that could be protected at locations in tributaries.  Construction of the two electric barriers, Madison/Eagle lakes protective barrier and Elysian/Buffalo lakes protective barrier, were completed in February 2019. Activity 7 Lock and Dam 5 Acoustic Deterrent Feasibility Study Mississippi River Lock and Dam 5 was identified as a potential location for installation of an acoustic barrier to deter upstream movement of Invasive Carp.  Before any potential construction project, the DNR required a feasibility study to estimate the effectiveness, construction costs, and annual operation/maintenance costs.  The MN DNR contracted with the University of Minnesota-Duluth to complete the study.  Study results suggest further development of the technology was needed before deployment at this site.  A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in December 2018.   ",2012-07-01,2019-11-04,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Nick,Frohnauer,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5670,nick.frohnauer@state.mn.us,"Grants/Contracts, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Hennepin, Jackson, Waseca",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/protect-aquatic-habitat-asian-carp,,,,

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.

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 keystone feature of this initial pilot program was the launch a new state RIM easement program for wild rice lake shoreland properties intended to buffer and protect sensitive wild rice lake shorelines and limit development. Also, this initial program featured a unique partnership among local, county, state and federal agencies all working together to protect key parcels through a combination of conservation easements and fee-title land acquisitions. The Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources (BWSR) worked closely with northeastern Minnesota County Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) to develop and implement the new RIM conservation easement program for wild rice lakes, which secured 14 RIM easements and protected 821 acres. Due to several landowners canceling their RIM easement applications after the appropriation adjustment availability date, $98,044 of easement acquisition funding, $2,000 of easement stewardship funding, and $112 of personnel money was unspent by BWSR at the end of the project, and BWSR returned $100,156 to the OHF. However, this new RIM easement program for wild rice lakes was successfully launched and is now fully programmatic and ongoing, and has received additional OHF funding since this initial pilot phase. DU also attempted to purchase conservation easements on two parcels of land on wild rice lakes too, but those efforts did not succeed due to landowner unwillingness to continue with the DU easement process. Therefore, DU amended the grant budget to move easement grant funds to fee-title land purchase, and successfully appraised and purchased a 28-acre parcel of land on Moose Lake in St. Louis County in fee-title. This key parcel was then transferred it to the U.S. Forest Service for inclusion in the Superior National Forest and long-term management and public outdoor recreational use. DU also coordinated this pilot program and submitted all grant status reports. DU spent $143,262 but left $147,738 unspent to be returned to the OHF. Minnesota DNR successfully purchased a key 286-acre parcel in fee-title on Yaeger Lake in Wadena County for inclusion in the Yaeger state Wildlife Management Area (WMA). DNR also subawarded OHF grant funds to Cass County to purchase two parcels of 35 acres on Lake George and 40 acres on Lower Hand Lake that were for sale and were appropriate additions to county land holdings in the area and help consolidate Cass County forest management and land ownership. Together, DNR and Cass County purchased 361 acres in fee-title, spent $497,691, and turned back $2,309 to the OHF. Overall, 14 RIM easements were secured that protect 821 acres, and four key parcels of land for sale totaling 389 acres were purchased in fee-title where RIM easements were not of interest to private landowners, for a total of 1,209 acres protected including about four miles of shoreline protected through this initial pilot grant to protect wild rice lake shoreland. This 1,210-acre land protection achievement far surpasses our goal of 700 acres, and was accomplished well-under under budget. Collectively, partners spent $1,640,798 of the $1,891,000 appropriated for this initial phase of the program, and turned back $250,202 to the OHF. This new wild rice lake protection partnership program continues today, with the Minnesota BWSR working closely with SWCDs to assist private landowners and implement additional RIM easements on wild rice lakes with subsequent OHF grants and phases of this initial program. Partners also routinely discuss other land protection needs around wild rice lakes with Minnesota DNR field staff, and work together to ensure efforts are make to purchase key tracts on important wild rice lakes when they come up for sale and are appropriate for public land ownership and management.",2011-07-20,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road",Alexandria,MN,56308,320-762-9916,jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, Wadena","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lake-shoreland-protection-wild-rice-lakes,,,,

These types of systems rely on materials such as wood and grasses sourced from the surrounding area as fuel sources for local energy production. However, many questions still remain about how to effectively and sustainably implement these types of community bioenergy systems. Dovetail Partners is piloting an effort with the City of Ely and Cook County to develop the information and tools necessary for communities to assess the viability of these types of energy systems based on the resources available within their own regions. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project helps guide development of sustainable community-scale forest bioenergy programs in Northeast Minnesota and provides examples from the region to assist communities statewide considering similar projects. Locally produced, community-based renewable energy systems hold significant promise for increasing energy security, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to local economies. The goals of this project were to develop and share information and tools that address key questions about the viability of community bioenergy systems. During the first phase, existing models and planning tools were adapted to evaluate feasibility, impacts, and management needs for community-scale and other small bioenergy applications being proposed in Ely and Cook County. During the second phase of the project, the information and tools developed in Ely and Cook County were shared with communities, land managers, policymakers, investors, and others interested in the long-term prospects and viability of locally produced bioenergy. The results of the project indicate that there are abundant potential biomass supplies that could meet the needs of the community-scaled biomass energy projects being considered. The financial analysis illustrates that a number of the projects being considered have reasonable potential payback periods and other positive indications of financial feasibility. The environmental review reports summarize major considerations that were identified in interviews with local stakeholders and provide information about the mitigations that are in place to manage risk (e.g., Minnesota""s use of biomass harvesting guidelines, third-party forest certification and ecological monitoring). At this time, the community of Ely is considering options for moving forward with a biomass system or systems that could serve the community college, hospital, school and/or other facilities. The community of Grand Marais has completed additional engineering analysis for a potential district heating system that could serve a number of public buildings and private businesses that represent the major potential customers for the system. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< The study team has prepared and made publicly available the final reports and fact sheets from the project that address the estimates of available fuel supplies for biomass facilities in Ely and Cook County and evaluations of potential environmental impacts and available mitigations.

In addition to getting information while interacting with the kiosk at each location, kiosk users can enter their email or mailing address and request that additional information--including the Minnesota State Parks and Trails Guide, maps, seasonal program catalogs, fishing regulations, and a wide variety of other DNR publications--be sent to them. That way, if they're in a hurry, they don't have to copy it all down at the kiosk, they can pick up where they left off on their trip-planning when they get home.

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.

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.

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. The data continues to be used by county water planners in the development and revisions of County Water Plans. The GIS data sets are currently posted on an ftp site maintained by Barr Engineering. All county water planners and SWCD staff have access to the site. Because of the sensitive nature of the data access is limited to those staff persons at this time.

In addition, individual meetings were held with the SWCD and NRCS staff in the Olmsted, Dodge, Wabasha and Goodhue County offices to convey our findings and solicit feedback on the development of guidance for assessing BMP suitability for various sites, based on agroecoregion location and site characteristics. A similar meeting was held with Rochester staff to discuss BMP priorities for urban and suburban applications.

Work relating to the project has been published in two manuals and the critical source areas identified throughout the watershed during the project have been stored in a GIS database, along with the background data used in the decision-making, for shared use by the project partners.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Lawrence,Svien,"Zumbro Watershed Partnership","1485 Industrial Dr NW, Rm 102",Rochester,MN,55901,"(507) 226-6787",admin@zumbrowatershed.org,"Analysis/Interpretation, Demonstration/Pilot Project, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Inventory, Planning, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/zumbro-river-watershed-restoration-prioritization,,,,
