This grant was used to inventory Joint Ditch 15 (JD 15) for areas that could benefit from the installation of Side Inlet Control Structures (SICS) and vegetated buffer strips (buffers). JD 15 is known to have areas of significant erosion that effect both benefited landowners as well as a number of impaired waters downstream. The impaired downstream waters include Sucker Creek, Cokato Lake, and the North Fork Crow River. The JD 15 Inventory was completed during the summer of 2015. The goal of this project is to implement best management practices (BMP's) that will address the issues identified in the JD 15 Inventory. Given the JD 15 Inventory prioritized resource concerns along JD 15, the current project will focus on addressing the most significant areas of erosion and coordinating with the Wright County Drainage Authority to address lower priority areas. With the recent buffer legislation a lower priority will be given to buffer establishment along JD 15, however, the results of the JD 15 inventory will still be presented to landowners to promote the voluntary adoption of buffers. The implementation of BMP's along JD 15 and within its watershed will reduce the amount of sediment and nutrients transported downstream as well as reduce the rate at which water enters JD 15.

The goal of this project is to implement erosion control practices within three agricultural priority subwatersheds with existing erosion concerns and also to install urban water quality practices in two of the identified sub watersheds within the City of Albany. Preliminary cost estimates and pollutant reduction estimates have been calculated for the proposed projects using data from past Stearns SWCD projects and work completed by RESPEC for the Two Rivers Lake Targeted Conservation Practice Plan (2015). The funds requested with this application will go towards implementation of projects to reduce the nutrient and sediment loading from those properties within those prioritized areas. The three agricultural sites will be focused on erosion control and nutrient reduction practices. BMP?s implemented will range from structural practices (water and sediment basins, grassed waterways, etc.) to management practices (cover crops, residue management, land use changes). Targeted areas in the City of Albany include a potential wetland restoration and multiple urban BMP?s (raingardens, iron enhanced sand filters, infiltration swales, etc.). The estimated reductions associated with proposed urban and agricultural BMPs is 107 pounds phosphorous/yr. and 49 tons of sediment/yr. Outreach to others in the priority subwatersheds will be continued for future efforts and additional BMP opportunities as we work toward positive improvements in the Two Rivers Lake watershed.

In total, we under spent on our budget, over delivered on acre goals, and over delivered on match leverage received while using less personnel costs than proposed. ",,"The pressures from development, industry, and agriculture continue to mount on wildlife habitat within the farmland regions of Minnesota.  In fact, despite our collective investments in conservation, it is believed that many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat.  This unfortunate reality is currently being exacerbated by conversion of lands expiring out of CRP.  Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high quality public habitat complexes that will protect, maintain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations.  In addition, being able to provide public areas for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs and is fundamental to ensure Minnesota’s outdoor heritage and appreciation of the outdoors is passed on to future generations. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever (PF) and our partners have protected (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 1,484.05 acres of high priority grassland (native prairie if available), wetland, and wildlife habitat as state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) throughout the pheasant range of Minnesota.  Striving to build landscape level habitat complexes that will protect and sustain wildlife populations, many of the potential projects are additions to existing WMAs or WPAs, many of which were originally acquired in partnership with MNDNR, local PF chapters, and conservation partners. Projects were developed and selected in conjunction with local and regional DNR staff.  All projects will meet standards and requirements for inclusion into the WMA system and DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal.  In addition to meeting the minimum WMA standards, additional criteria were used to develop the potential project list including: Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations? Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? Does the parcel contain significant natural communities or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities? Does the parcel have the potential and focus for habitat protection and restoration in the future? Does the parcel provide multiple benefits (recreation, access, water control, water quality, lakeshore, local community support etc.)? All acquired lands will meet the minimum initial development standards for WMAs.  In addition, providing high quality habitat and keeping future management concerns in mind, all acquisitions will be restored and/or enhanced to as high quality as practicable, with the belief that quality and comprehensive restorations utilizing native species result in lower management costs.  Acquired croplands will be permanently retired and restored to diverse grasslands and wetlands to the fullest extent.  Enhancement work may include undesirable woody vegetation removal, water control structure installation, inter-seeding to increase diversity and structure, managed grazing, invasive species control, or any other activity that improves the diversity and health of the prairie-wetland habitat complex.  Pheasants Forever’s network of 76 Minnesota chapters and 26,000 members have been actively involved in protecting and restoring lands in partnership with the Minnesota DNR for 27 years and will continue to be a priority.  WMA’s are an integral component to the comprehensive conservation strategy within the prairie region of the state.  The WMAs within this proposal will not only protect, increase, and sustain wildlife habitat and populations; they will provide access and recreational opportunities, including hunting, to ALL Minnesotans, so fundamentally important to our outdoor heritage.  ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Eran,Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Ave S.","South Haven",MN,55386,763-242-1273,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Brown, Carver, Cottonwood, Jackson, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Martin, McLeod, Mower, Murray, Pipestone, Renville, Stearns, Stevens","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-wildlife-management-area-program-phase-5,,,,

",,"The loss of grassland and wetland habitats in Minnesota is well documented.  One of the primary ways to reverse this downward trend is to permanently acquire and restore previously converted wetland and grassland habitats on those properties. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50-years with the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This acceleration program acquired and restored 205.77 acres of wetland and 1,035.02 acres of grassland habitats which are now permanently protected as Waterfowl Protection Areas managed by the Service. Using landscape level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the Service’s Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)], Pheasants Forever (PF) has acquired these strategically identified properties. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife the acres affected by this grant application will produce.  Besides the obvious wildlife benefits the lands acquired through this grant will provide additional water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community here in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing opportunities for hunting and fishing public access and have used WPA’s extensively in the past. To address concerns related to the erosion of county tax revenues due to public land, the Service and PF notified counties prior to acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the Service will make a one-time Trust Fund payment to the County where the property is located.  In addition, the Service will make annual Refuge Revenue Sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective Counties.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Eran ",Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Ave","South Haven",MN,55382,763-242-1273,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Mahnomen, Murray, Rice, Stearns, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-waterfowl-production-area-program-phase-5,,,,

",,"The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 760 acres of native prairie habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Not only were the prairie protection outcomes met but they were exceeded by 582 acres.  Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota’s original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case.  Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, mineral extraction and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts, but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat.  Originally, this appropriation aimed to protect 760 acres of native prairie through Native Prairie Bank easements. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including:     1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey    2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species    3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 10 native prairie parcels for a total of 1,342 acres (582 acres more than initial 760 acre goal) were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements.  These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria and soil fungi.  Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.  ",2015-07-01,2019-10-23,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Judy,Schulte,"MN DNR","1241 E Bridge Street ","Redwood Falls",MN,56283,"(507) -637-6016",judy.schulte@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Clay, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Polk, Redwood, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-native-prairie-bank-protection-phase-iv,,,,

These projects will address work called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"Engineering and construction of major shallow lake and wetland infrastructure includes work on water control structures, dikes, and fish barriers to improve wetland habitat management. Five major infrastructure projects were constructed with funding from this appropriation. The five (Carex Slough/Freeborn County, Mahlke Marsh/Lyon County, Hovland/Mahnomen County, Roseau River WMA Pool 2/Roseau County, and Staples/Todd County) all began with property manager submission of the projects into an annual Section of Wildlife project solicitation process. All projects undergo Regional and Central Office review, with wetland and shallow lake projects receiving additional review by Wetland Habitat Team members. Suitable projects are selected for inclusion in OHF proposals. Given the complexity of major wetland infrastructure projects, OHF project lists in Accomplishment Plans undergo continual adjustments based on engineering assessments, budget projections, and to seek efficient use of appropriation funds. Reflective of the expense often incurred in major wetland infrastructure projects, expenditures for these five projects accounted for 43% of the total expenditures for this appropriation. Four major shallow lake/wetland management actions were implemented to enhance habitat - Simon Lake Drawdown and Fish Treatment/Pope County, Raguet WMA Wetland Tree Removal/Carver County, a major wetland prescribed burn at Roseau River WMA/Roseau County, and a channel cleanout at Moose-Willow Flowage/Aitkin County. Both projects were initiated, reviewed and selected for inclusion in an OHF appropriation by the aforementioned process and both projects presented unique challenges that are typical of complex wetland projects. Water levels at Simon Lake were reduced by gravity drawdown as much as possible, then was supplemented by pumps. When reduced as much as practical, a private company was hired to apply rotenone to remove unwanted fish. Unfortunately, the private company quit only hours after beginning the rotenone application. In an amazing move, the DNR Shallow Lakes Program immediately began work to undertake the rotenone application in-house. One year after the private company quit the treatment, a highly coordinated operation involving DNR Shallow Lakes and Roving Habitat Crew staff successfully implemented the treatment. Follow up assessments reported a successful fish treatment and a subsequent improvement in habitat quality at Simon Lake. Tree removal at Raguet WMA in Carver proved challenging as well. Existence of a high quality fen in the project area prohibited the use of large equipment. Instead, cut trees were removed by pulling them offsite with cables and winches to protect the fen. The prescribed burn of a wetland occurred in August 2019 at Roseau River WMA and involved 7,350 acres. The project ""burn boss"" said the burn was done to set back brush encroachment and cattails in a sedge meadow. One month after the burn, significant rainfall at the site raised water levels and flooded the burned cattails. Thick beds of wild rice were reported in areas in which cattails had previously been dominant. Finally, a channel cleanout was conducted in the downsteam channel of the Moose- Willow Flowage in Aitkin County. Channels often become shallower as sediment is deposited. The shallow channels can be more conducive to growth of cattails. The double-whammy of shallower channels and cattails can result in higher water levels in upstream basins. The Moose-Willow Flowage had declined as habitat due to the described sedimentation and cattail growth. A specialized piece of equipment known as a Cookiecutter was utilized to cleanout the channel is what will be a two phase plan to improve Moose-Willow. Phase I was the channel cleanout. Phase II will see installation of a new water control structure. An exciting activity undertaken with this appropriation is the outfitting of a DNR helicopter with equipment to all annual spraying of invasive cattails. Credit for initiating this goes to DNR Pilot Brad Maas, who saw the potential to add spray equipment to an existing under-utilized helicopter. OHF funding was used for a capital equipment purchase of both a aerial spray unit and new avionics for the helicopter. This new equipment allows for annual spraying of approximately 2500 acres of invasive hybrid cattails. A standardized process has developed for the annual work. Early in the calendar year, the supervisor of all DNR Roving Habitat Crews puts out a call for potential cattail spray sites. The combined list of projects is mapped and projects to be treated are selected based on property manager ranking of needs and proximity of projects to each other and their statewide location. Helicopter landing sites are chosen and property managers are responsible for mowing the landing sites and proving proper public notice. Specially trained staff from Roving Habitat Crews are utilized as ground support for the helicopter. Thirty-five individual parcels were treated in the first year of utilizing the DNR helicopter. Prior to obtaining the ability to use the DNR helicopter to spray cattails, three parcels were sprayed by contracted companies, also with this appropriation. Direct comparison of these two spray methods (private company vs. DNR helicopter) shows that the DNR helicopter allows us to get this work done at less cost and with more control over the timing of the treatment and size of the treated areas. Funding from this appropriation was utilized for wetland enhancement work by two Roving Habitat Crews, the Region 3 crew based out of Vermillion and the Region 4 crew based out of Lac qui Parle. Wetland habitat enhancement conducted by Roving Habitat Crews can include tree removal from wetlands, small scale spraying of cattails and other invasive vegetation, seeding wild rice, conducting drawdowns, sediment removal from small wetland basins, and actual construction of small wetland infrastructure projects. Roving Habitat Crew Leaders are constantly receiving submissions from DNR property managers for potential habitat projects and develop priorities based on Department priorities and the need to address requirement imposed by funding rules. Thirty- two individual wetland enhancement projects were reported by the two Roving Habitat Crews. Of the 28,101 wetland acres impacted by this appropriation, the reported wetland enhancement work done by Roving Habitat Crews accounted for 11,056 acres at a cost of just over $35/acre.

These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. Typically, we burn in the spring before the nesting season. However, this can stimulate the warm-season grasses and begin to crowd out forbs, lowering plant diversity. Burning in the late summer, after birds have fledged but with enough time for some late summer regrowth, has shown to increase both plant diversity as well as structural diversity in the habitat. Just as important, it can knock back the dominant grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass just enough for forbs to express themselves the following year. Although 23,247 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. For instance, we know nest predation of grassland birds is higher near woody vegetation and some birds just won't nest near woody veg. By removing trees, we are impacting both the footprint of where those trees were but also the surrounding grassland where nest success should now be higher. Esthetically, it creates a more open landscape visually which is usually appreciated by grassland enthusiasts. Especially when near ungrazed grassland, grazing can have larger benefits. Birds used grazed areas primarily during the summer when birds are young. Having ungrazed grassland, good nesting cover, next to grazed grassland, good brood rearing cover, should increase overall number of birds that survive into the fall. I have personally visited a number of public lands grazing sites in western Minnesota and have always been impressed with what I've seen. Although grazing is a summer activity, I've flushed a number of birds, both pheasants and songbirds, from these areas in the fall. Often the biggest benefit to grazing comes in the first couple years after grazing as the habitat is regrowing. Although there is still much to learn, we have learned a lot in recent years about restoration techniques. We still use several methods for restoring prairie and there's probably no one perfect way of doing it. It's very clear to even someone without botanical training when they are walking through a recent restoration and an older restoration. Even if they can't identify every plant, the diversity people see is striking. This in comparison to older restorations which are strongly dominated by only a couple species of grasses. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit. Now we are left with the larger and more challenging projects.

Initial development/piloting of an augmented reality sandbox, sound abatement remediation in the loft for more successful school group learning, and smaller-scale exhibit development/remediation efforts across other Museum galleries resulted in significant enhancements to the visitor experience (please refer to photo documentation). Museum staff across all departments engaged in a process to inventory Museum A&CH features during a two-part staff education discussion/activity. The results of these efforts were used to develop a Museum Explorer’s Guide designed to inform/engage visitors around the multitude of A&CH features that are embedded throughout the Museum. CMSM staff engaged with faculty/students from Gustavus Adolphus College to develop an evaluation strategy to assess what MN Arts and Cultural Heritage learning looks like for young visitors that engage at the Museum. A Timing & Tracking observational tool was implemented with 73 children visiting the Quarry and Grow It Gallery. Data collected through this tool noted time spent in each gallery by age group as a measure of “exposure” and awareness-learning at the Museum. 153 group visits took place over the course of this project. Group visit feedback was solicited from educators using an on-line post-visit survey tool. Over 6,250 Museum visitors participated in Museum access opportunities. Feedback received from families participating in Museum access events was solicited through written surveys and post-it feedback activities. Visitor feedback indicated high levels of satisfaction with their Museum experience, along with identified learnings on the part of both children and adults.",,,,147000,,"Brian Benshoof CEO, MRCI Worksource; Neal Benson Manufacturing Operations Consultant, retired from Emerson Electric; Laura Bowman Director of Community Relations and Development at Mayo Clinic Health System; Nick Hinz President, Frandsen Bank and Trust; Barb Kaus President, Greater Mankato Area United Way; Linda Kilander Retired Principal, Mankato Area Public Schools; Kim Kleven Early Childhood Coordinator, Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial; Naomi Mortensen Marketing Director, Environmental Tillage Systems; Tim Newell Director of Solutions Business Management, Kato Engineering/Emerson; Christine Powers Partner, Abdo Eick & Meyers; Tom Riley Telecommunications Operations Executive, Greater Mankato Growth; Beth Serrill Attorney, Blethen Gage & Krause; Christie SkilbredP roject Manager, Capstone Literacy Center/Coughlan Companies; Dr. Katie Smentek Pediatrician, Mankato Clinic; Sara Steinbach Regional Manager, Public Affairs & Marketing, Mayo Clinic Health System; Keith Stover Retired President, South Central College; Vance Stuehrenberg County Commissioner, Blue Earth County, MN; Anna Thill President, Visit Mankato; Liz Ulman Organizational Development Manager, Dotson Iron Castings; Dr. Ginger Zierdt Interim Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Education, Minnesota State University, Mankato",2,"Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","CMSM opened its new permanent site with increased capacity to serve as an informal learning center that playfully engages children, families, and school groups in interactive experiences with the art and cultural heritage of southern Minnesota.

Legacy funds help us implement this program bridge barriers that keep people from connecting with all the Zoo has to offer. Access Services The Zoo is committed to ensuring that economic circumstances are not obstacles to experiencing the Minnesota Zoo. With Legacy support the Zoo recently created the position of Community Relations Coordinator, a position responsible for the statutorily-mandated free ticket program for economically disadvantaged Minnesotans, all aspects of ADA compliance, and other programs related to accessibility of the Zoo. Lifelong Learning The Minnesota Zoo is not just for children! Legacy funding supports a number of programs aimed at supporting and expanding Zoo programs for adults. This includes a recently introduced adults only program, “Adult Night Out.” These age 18+ evening events offer an after-hours experience for working and older adults who might not otherwise visit the Zoo. This program also incorporates the Our World Speaker Series designed to engage guests in conservation issues. These lectures are offered free of charge to all attendees, ensuring access for all interested guests. The Zoo is also offering a number of adult education programs that focus on special interest areas such as Zoo horticulture and wildlife photography. These programs serve a range of adult audiences including seniors, corporate groups, and young adults. Strategic Communications In an effort to help Zoo guests care more and do more for conservation, this project was designed to test and implement zoo-based conservation messaging that would encourage people to act for wildlife. The Zoo began implementing its new brand strategy “Where Amazing Lives. Every Day.” This campaign creates a consistent story throughout the Zoo. Expanded Zoomobile Geography can be a barrier to accessing high quality environmental education programs. The Zoomobile program exists to serve people who cannot visit the Minnesota Zoo by bringing the Zoo to them, regardless of where they live in Minnesota. Trained interpretive naturalists travel with animals to all corners of the state and deliver programs at schools, libraries, community centers, children’s hospitals, senior centers, and more. Zoomobile participants experience live animals up close and learn about the ecological principles that connect all living things to one another. Legacy funding makes it possible to expand the service and reach of Zoomobile by sending more staff and more animals throughout the state.

",,,,,,,,,,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","The Albert Lea Lake Management project replaced the previous Albert Lea Lake fix-crest dam with a 3-in-1 structure that included a rock riffle dam, a lake level management structure, and an electric fish barrier. The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) encompasses 246-square miles in Freeborn County. The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system.3.  Electric fish barrier:  An electric fish barrier was installed and is used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure is now fully complete. The outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier worked in harmonization as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource.   The existing Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, are in need of repair.The proposed project would replace the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels and allow fish passage (see concept drawing). A lake level management structure would also be constructed, as well as an electric barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake. This project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity. It has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, developed with public participation, and subject to public review and approval by the SRRWD Board. Specific benefits are outlined below. 1.  Rock-Arch Water-Level Control and Fish Passage: Replacing the existing fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches will provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake, with the upper-most rock arch controlling the normal water level. The arches will also provide fish passage, allowing northern pike to move upstream from the Shell Rock River to spawn in the lake. Northern Pike typically spawn in March and April, while carp spawning/movement typically does not start until May. A fish passage—in combination with an electric fish barrier activated in May to preclude carp—will increase the population of Northern Pike, natural predators of carp. Albert Lea Lake populations of Northern Pike and Bluegill (also a carp egg predator) are currently below Minnesota DNR norms for similar lakes. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: Installation of a structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective. This program is endorsed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fishery and Wildlife Divisions and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and conducted with their technical assistance and cooperation. This project is consistent with recommendations of the 2004 Shell Rock River Watershed Management Plan (Appendix B & J). It is also noted in the Albert Lea Lake Management Plan, as part of the Freeborn County Comprehensive Water Plan 2006-2015. Other applicable plans include the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan Phase II provisions that address the control of invasive species, restoration of shallow lakes, water quality improvements in impaired waters, and  protection and enhancement of fish and waterfowl breeding habitat (pg. 30-96); and the 2009 Minnesota State Management Plan for Invasive Species. Activities are also within the goals of the Basin Alliance for the Lower Mississippi in Minnesota (BALMM). This project is a component of the 2011 Restoring Native Habitat/Water Quality to the Shell Rock River Project funded by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund for the fee-title acquisition of the headwaters of the Shell Rock River. The land has been acquired and will be turned over to the DNR to be operated under an Aquatic Management Area Management Plan. There are no known opponents or anticipated barriers to project completion. These efforts will be highly visible and seen as a benefit to the entire region. They are endorsed by the local Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Freeborn County, City of Albert Lea, DNR and Fountain Lake Sportsmen’s Club.  ",,2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Andy,Henschel,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","411 S Broadway ","Albert Lea",MN,56007,"(507) 377-5785",andy.henschel@co.freeborn.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Freeborn,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/albert-lea-lake-management-and-invasive-species-control-structure,,,,

At five of these sites wells were constructed to monitor groundwater levels.

This information is critical in deciding how much groundwater can be pumped – and from which aquifers – to ensure the long-term sustainability of the water supply and the natural resources that rely on groundwater.","In some streams, groundwater is a significant source of stream flow. This groundwater can be important in sustaining species like trout that need a constant flow of cold, clean water. The groundwater comes from an aquifer, which is an underground deposit of porous rock or sand that holds water. Groundwater pumping from wells drilled into shallow aquifers that feed the stream may decrease the amount of groundwater flowing into the stream. This is a concern because pumping can threaten the ability of some stream to support trout in the future. Drilling wells into deeper aquifers could be a solution to concerns about effects of pumping from the shallow aquifers. However, aquifers can be connected, and pumping in one aquifer can lower water levels in the aquifers above or below it. The strategy of drilling deeper only works when thick layers of clay and shale act as a protective barrier between aquifers. But it is difficult to predict how water moves between a given set of aquifers without special tests designed to detect responses from pumping in nearby aquifers and surface waters.",,2014-07-01,2016-06-30,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Jay,Frischman,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5733",Jay.Frischman@state.mn.us,"Analysis/Interpretation, Monitoring","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Dakota,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/aquifer-testing-stream-flow-and-groundwater-interactions,,,,

This groundwater can be important in sustaining species like trout that need a constant flow of cold, clean water. The groundwater comes from an aquifer, which is an underground deposit of porous rock or sand that holds water. Groundwater pumping from wells drilled into shallow aquifers that feed the stream may decrease the amount of groundwater flowing into the stream. This is a concern because pumping can threaten the ability of some stream to support trout in the future. Drilling wells into deeper aquifers could be a solution to concerns about effects of pumping from the shallow aquifers. However, aquifers can be connected, and pumping in one aquifer can lower water levels in the aquifers above or below it. The strategy of drilling deeper only works when thick layers of clay and shale act as a protective barrier between aquifers. But it is difficult to predict how water moves between a given set of aquifers without special tests designed to detect responses from pumping in nearby aquifers and surface waters.",,2014-07-01,2016-06-30,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Jay,Frischman,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5733",Jay.Frischman@state.mn.us,"Analysis/Interpretation, Monitoring","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Dakota,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/aquifer-testing-stream-flow-and-groundwater-interactions,,,,

We will do this by adding a web-based input system for data from cooperators (Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Cities) and upgrade the website so the public can access groundwater data. We will continue to work with our partners at the MPCA MDH MDA BWSR MGS and Metropolitan Council to make groundwater data sharable and available between agencies. We will also continue migrating chemistry data from the Geologic Atlas Program to the EQuIS database. We will continue to work with our partners at other Agencies and MN.IT to establish shared data governance standards. We will continue developing groundwater sustainability thresholds. These thresholds will be used to identify problems that could by caused by groundwater pumping for certain lakes rivers and wetlands that depend on groundwater. When completed these thresholds will be used to help us make individual permit decisions about groundwater appropriations. We will finish building a computer model for groundwater in the Little Rock Creek area We will continue to provide technical support for communities developing water supply plans. For example we will work with Moorhead on its analysis of the Buffalo Aquifer and the role it plays in Moorhead’s water supply planning. We will also continue to provide training for soil and water conservation district staff in FY16. We will conduct nine aquifer tests to provide information about regional aquifer information needs and our aquifer test database will become operational in FY16. ","In FY16 DNR staff installed 117 wells instrumented 18 wells with available equipment and processed 196 continuous groundwater well records. Staff also completed the planned integrated data input system allowing cooperators and remotely deployed staff to enter data online. We refined the website making it easier for the public to access data and see recently collected raw data within two days of downloading from network wells. Data processing was also streamlined to provide approved and final data sooner than previous years. DNR staff continued efforts to develop a groundwater model for Little Rock Creek and involved an external technical advisory committee in the process. Staff investigated water supply issues near the City of LaSalle related to cumulative impacts from expanded crop irrigation and reviewed cumulative pumping impacts to the Union Creek watershed. The latter effort helped guide permitting decisions and identify groundwater monitoring sites. DNR staff participated on an interagency water data governance team which developed two proposals to improve data governance and sharing among agencies.

To measure them we will complete the following activities: Dakota Wicohan Arts Coordinator will maintain program records of all arts activities; The 20 middle school youth will share what they’ve learned in focus groups and circles led by Dakota Wicohan staff and the consulting artists; The 5-10 high school apprentices will write reflections of their experiences for publication in our newsletter; The families and audience members will assess their experience in the guest book at each public showcase. The assessment team will monitor the arts residencies. Our participants play the most important role in the evaluation. We are using indigenous evaluation methods to identify the sense of belonging and our new youth leadership project for middle school youth. Results will be used to improve our future arts programing at Dakota Wicohan. We intend to permanently incorporate the arts into our youth programs and are committed to continue nurturing and supporting our Dakota artists and their work in our Native community. We also hope that our high school apprentices continue to develop their interest in the arts for sustainability in revitalizing the arts in our community. We hope to learn how connecting rural Native youth to contemporary art forms sparks an ongoing interest in the arts. We hope to learn how to model to families ways to support their youth’s interest in the arts. We also hope our organization better learns how to operate arts activities and to support Dakota artists.","The Dakota Star Stories Project met its three intended outcomes, engaging slightly fewer youth apprentices than projected, but reaching many more audience members through more PR channels than projected. It was interesting to see the development of skill between the first and the second videos made by the youth. We are pleased with their growth and confidence as artists. At least half of the participants expressed interest in continuing the art form. The summer camp video enhanced a sense of belonging and cohesion among the group and the participants' connection to Dakota traditions, and the land. More than 100 people watched the two youth videos at the Dakota Wicohan Annual Event held at Jackpot Junction on Lower Sioux on October 17, 2014.

Outcomes: Over 25,000 people will view and interact with the art installation over the year. The installation will become an ongoing topic of family and community dialogue. Community dialogue and arts appreciation will cultivate global perspectives. Using best practices established by the Association of Children’s Museums, outcomes will be measured through: Attendance tracking of museum visitors and event participation. Number of field trip and group tour bookings. Participation in performance, both as performer and audience. Feedback surveys from program participants, parents, teachers, and the community. Interviews with volunteers and program partners. Staff and board member observation and reporting.","An interactive art display was created for permanent display at the museum. 9 youth participated in a co-created performance that was viewed by over 100 people at the museum's November First Friday event. Nearly 7000 individuals visited the exhibit during the extended project period. The installation was so popular, an additional admission policy was added for adults without children. Thousands more viewed the art created through this project during All Souls Night and the Christmas City of the North Parade, as well as field trips and outreach programs.

We will identify barriers to participation in high quality art activities, describe our tools to overcome the barriers, and include a written survey to assess. The barriers to citizens in our region include the following: distance, access, cost, quality, isolation, time, and feeling not invited/not involved. Our tools to combat these complex and real issues are the following: Distance—hold workshop where people live and make it possible and reasonable to attend and return home at night or stay overnight (60 mile radius). Access—advertise to a varied group of potential participants including using local newspapers, local radio stations, Minnesota Public Radio (aimed at a different level of literacy), on-line regional writing groups, previous participants (past 3 years), direct invitations, Facebook, Big Stone Arts website, and Big Stone Art Council one on one invitations. Registration will be on-line, phone, and snail mail to accommodate the comfort level of potential participants. Quality—we have two high quality presenters who will address writers at the level of ability they designate. Students will have access to both presenters at the final presentation on Sunday as well as at the informal dinner on Saturday evening and the free public reading on Friday evening. Cost—charge a very reasonable fee for 1.5 days of instruction and guided practice as well as 3 meals, 2 light breakfasts, and two coffee breaks. Provide discounted rate for traditional student age (22 and younger) and senior citizen age (65). Isolation—build relationships at all the events with special emphasis on how do we continue to stay connected and write and share writing? We plan to organize scheduled gatherings during the year and make available participants emails and phone numbers to the group if they choose to engage in that exchange. Survey as a tool to empower participants—we will ask for anonymous input as well as suggestions for future workshops and ask for new volunteers to step forward to continue to keep the annual writer's workshop a reality.","There was 80-100% agreement that the instructors and their topics were thorough and useful and appropriate. 50% indicated need for space that was warmer and less noisy, and 100% liked the beautiful setting. 15 participants said they would help with the next workshop. 1 person asked for more scholarships next year. The distance from Ortonville ranged from 0-140 miles with several at 20 miles and 90 miles. There were many excellent ideas suggested for future workshops.

The achievement of goal one (1) will be self-evident. To measure goal two (2) we will provide a sign-in sheet for those in attendance at the Dakota Women’s Gatherings so that we may have a record of attendance. After sharing the CD and allowing an opportunity for those in attendance to hear the CD, we will have an evaluative discussion about the project, recording the results of those for inclusion in the final report to Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. Questions we might ask include: What is your response to hearing these songs? What do they bring to mind? Why are these songs important? How might they help you? And, how might you use them in the future? To measure goal three (3), we will include an evaluative survey in CDs we send out to organizations, institutions, libraries, and individuals outside the Dakota community. That survey is attached below.","For the community responses provided during the CD-Release events, we took notes of the feedback as each individual spoke. This allowed us immediate feedback from everyone in attendance and was extremely useful and uplifting to know that this project was having a positive impact on people in our communities. Those who took the time to respond to the CD evaluation survey believed it to be of great value and benefit. For example, one treatment center believed that using the CD to help ground one of their Native American female clients in her culture helped to alleviate her cravings, triggers, and stress. Libraries in Madison, Dawson, and Minneota felt the project would give their patrons an introduction to music they had not heard before and that it would open doors to understanding and appreciation of Dakota culture.

A measurable goal for the Market will continue to be to determine if the participant was familiar with the musical talent prior to their visit to the Market and for that participant to also indicate if they are familiar with the type of music that they experienced during the market season. If the musical talent or type of music is something new to the participant, they will be asked, via a survey, what their impressions are of this music. As a way to continually determine what draws people to Central Park Market and to assess their thoughts and feelings regarding musical performances at the Market, the Market committee will distribute the attached survey to participants during market hours. This year, the survey will be made available during and after the market season. The Market committee will also post a link on our Facebook page to a survey link on Survey Monkey that they can continue to submit throughout the market season.

To provide five artists with uninterrupted time and space to produce art and expand artistic skills. 2. Address Grand Marais Arts Colony strategic planning goals including: a) broaden artist services, particularly studio access, to include more opportunities for intermediate and advanced artists; b) develop Grand Marais Arts Colony's reputation as an organization that supports artistic exploration, experimentation, and creative risk-taking; c) create a successful programmatic model for the late winter season. 3. Craft opportunities for audiences to engage with artists to benefit both the artist's creative process and the viewer's exposure to the arts. Grand Marais Art Colony uses a variety of tools, surveys, and forms to measure and evaluate success including time sheets, appraisal information, organizational forms, financial reports, artist evaluation forms, enrollment forms, and attendance sheets. Specifically, for this project the following evaluative measures will be taken: 1. Provide residencies to five artists. 2. Provide evaluation forms to all artists-in-residence. 3. Facilitate verbal/interview-style evaluation with participating artists. 4. Track numbers of attendees to community outreach events and exhibitions. 5. Increase number of residency applicant. 6. Increase interest in Grand Marais Art Colony services including studio access. 7. Increase number of members.","Measurable outcomes and evaluation: 1. Grand Marais Art Colony provided five artists with space to expand artistic skills. 2. Outcomes of Grand Marais Art Colony's strategic planning goals: a) include more opportunities for advanced artists. All residents were advanced artists and eight first-time studio artists chose to do an independent residency; b) Grand Marais Art Colony's reputation as an organization that supports artistic exploration is steadily expanding. While seeing the trajectory of this goal will take time, verbal feedback from residency event participants suggested there was a diverse and experimental nature to the artist's process. Grand Marais Art Colony's reputation for hosting a quality residency is growing as applicants are now coming from beyond Minnesota. c) Grand Marais Art Colony has created a successful programmatic model for the late winter season as artists continue to apply and come. 2. Written evaluations rated factors out of a possible 4. Communication with Grand Marais Art Colony staff rated 4, as did Grand Marais Art Colony’s welcoming atmosphere, accommodations, preparedness of the studios and the overall experience. The open studios and engagement projects were rated at a 3 by two artists, allowing Grand Marais Art Colony to reconsider how they can be improved upon. 3. Through verbal evaluations Grand Marais Art Colony learned that having a contemporary art gallery nearby is a huge draw for contemporary artists looking for residency experiences. Grand Marais Art Colony also learned that its residency is most geared toward artists with some residency background as it is highly self-defined. 4. Grand Marais Art Colony hosted a total of 75 participants to community engagement projects. Through Grand Marais Art Colony’s e-newsletter and two radio interviews approximately 1,470 people had access to the artists. 5.

The long range outcome is to expand the regional artistic community by producing a quality, entertaining, and thought provoking film festival, provide organizational growth and raise the profile of films produced regionally. The Duluth Superior Film Festival will continue to use the measurement outcome tools of: audience surveys, attendance tracking at festival screenings, press and promotional coverage logging, new audience cultivation through cross collaborations with other arts organizations, profile raising of films produced regionally, fundraising increases through grant and sponsorship opportunities. Duluth Superior Film Festival culls incredibly valuable information from use of these tools. Surveys give us feedback regarding audience enjoyment levels which gives insight to whether we are attaining our goal of providing quality, entertaining and thought provoking cinema events.","The 2016 The Duluth Superior Film Festival created new opportunities for audience access to filmmakers, artists, and art in a previously under-served cultural canon. The festival also presented films produced from the Arrowhead region and from around the world, engaged with cultures unlike our own and to revisited cultures from which audiences have been previously disconnected. The 2016 Duluth Superior Film Festival achieved its stated outcomes to increase attendance at all events, provide greater access to larger audience, gain higher profile press coverage, and create year-round financial stability. Quantitative proof of these statements through measurement of a 20% attendance increase from 2015 proving increased attendance, the provision of priority access seating to approximately 120 members of Native American community via partnership with the American Indian Community Housing Organization, realized increased publicity and press profile on a regional, state and national level, and accounting practices which demonstrate that Duluth Superior Film Festival remains debt free and has applied for 501c3 status. Quantitative proof is evidenced through an exceptionally high ballot survey return rate of 40% with overall score of enjoyment at 3.78 out of 4.

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

Measurable goals include: 1) Attracting an audience of at least 200 people to the Finale Concert; 2) Attracting audiences of at least 25 individuals to the Panel Discussion and 100 individuals to the Chamber Music Concert; 3) Attracting at least 100 total audience members who have never attended or rarely attend Southwest Minnesota State University Music events; and 4) Sharing the music of Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein with at least 100 total audience members who have never heard a live performance of their music. Total audience numbers will be tracked by ushers, program counts, and ticket sales for the Finale Concert. A survey will be included in the programs from each of the events and audience members will be encouraged to share their thoughts on the festival. The survey includes questions that gauge audience members' previous concert attendance (project goal 3) and their experience with the music of Copland and Bernstein (project goal 4).","Of the 59 surveys completed, 45 indicated that they were regular attendees of Southwest Minnesota State University Music Program events. 9 reported that they attend occasionally. 4 responded that they rarely attend these events, and 1 person reported that this was the first Southwest Minnesota State University Music Program event they have ever attended. We hoped that the festival and our publicity would generate interest among new audience members. Unfortunately, because the surveys were not distributed during the event, it is difficult to ascertain if this happened except through anecdotal evidence (of which there is at least some evidence that this happened). However, the second focus of the survey yielded very positive results. Although 23 respondents reported that they have seen other live performances of the music of Bernstein and Copland; 24 had only heard recordings. Therefore, this was a new experience for them. Furthermore, 12 people reported that this was basically the first time they had ever heard the music of Copland and Bernstein other than as part of commercials or TV/film. We believe that this is an important achievement, and we believe that had the surveys been distributed as planned, there would have been similar or greater positive results.",,2931,"Other, local or private",7931,,"Connie Gores, Dwight Watson, Jan Loft, Patricia Brace, John Ginocchio, Daniel Rieppel, Stephen Kingsbury",0.00,"Southwest Minnesota State University","State Government","Art Project",,"Copland/Bernstein Festival",2015-09-15,2015-11-08,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Ginocchio,"Southwest Minnesota State University","1501 State St",Marshall,MN,56258-3306,"(507) 537-6246 ",John.Ginocchio@smsu.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,Lyon,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-150,"Mike Hulsizer: actor/theatre director; Deb Larson: visual artist; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Kathy Schaefer: musician, photographer, Southwest Minnesota State University business professor; Judy Marquardt: visual artist, theatre.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Kate Aydin: retired educator; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, former HS English/creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Dana Johnson: producer/filmmaker; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Scott Tedrick: journalist, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, theatre director/actor.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Greta Murray (507) 537-1471 ",1

By thinking of the types of lines they will learn an approach to the challenge of putting marks on their paper to represent something that they see and know but that they may not have attempted to draw before. Opposite concepts that the preschool teachers have previously taught during the year will be included (ex above/below, up/down, big/small, far/near, in/out) in the drawings then the children will identify the parts of their drawings that illustrate this. A drawing of a turtle character from the preschool social emotional curriculum will support teachers work with the children and motivate children to try a familiar fun subject. The children will have experienced an effective problem-solving technique of breaking down a large project into smaller pieces so the task does not seem as daunting. This will happen at every stage as we look at smaller parts of the drawing to see how the lines were made, and see that thinking of it as little bits at a time will calm worries they may have that the drawing may be too hard. Success will be evident in the completion of each drawing, as children will be able to point to straight lines, curved lines, etc., as well as things that are opposites that were included in their work (inside/outside, above/below etc.). Their work creating drawings that closely resemble the animal and surroundings will also be a strong measure of their success learning the concepts presented. Each teacher will have her unique input for other concepts to be included in the four drawing lessons which will match her particular class curriculum plan.Pairing drawing with the different curriculum areas naturally lends itself to survey and observation of the children's work to determine if learning has taken place. There will be many samples of student work that will point to a successful project and goals met. The children will be asked to show the things they have drawn that are opposites: above/below, inside/outside, etc. the primary focus of their drawings. They will be able to describe their choices of appropriate additions to the drawings and why they were chosen and drawn. They will choose their two favorite pieces of work to exhibit at a Student Art Gallery, and they will be able to tell why the pieces are their favorites, and to point to specific areas and describe what is important about them. This will also give the students a chance to talk about their work to their parents, as it is important to them when they have their work displayed in a careful manner, as grown up artwork would be also. Another impact of this residency will be that the 5 Early Childhood Family Education Preschool teachers will learn from Mary Ellen the resident artist, how to teach preschool children how to draw in developmentally appropriate ways using the methods Mary Ellen presents with children. See supporting material pdf of child showing his drawing from spring 2013 TARP drawing lesson where you can see how he drew the arm of the animal inside the body shape and another arm outside; also the panda subject matches the class' focus on a field trip to a Zen Shorts play, hearing the Zen Shorts stories read in class previously, using bamboo blocks, seeing panda and bamboo pictures in the classroom, and watching a panda cam live video of pandas etc. This shows how the drawing lessons can accomplish the goals planned by extending and enriching the teacher planned curriculum.","All children were taught drawing concepts that included ""lines: thick and thin, angled, dots and circles,"" positions of ""above, below, next to,"" they had 4 drawing lessons and drew animals based on their preschool field trips or social emotional curriculum ex sheep from the farm or ""Twiggles the turtle"" then had an art gallery for families and friends where they exhibited their ""best"" drawing.

They will show different types of body expression to show feeling about what they will be reading. Also, in orally reading in small groups they will be working as a team to bring a piece alive.

The session focused on fundamentals that need to be in place in order to produce an outstanding sound. The session was very interactive, with the students asking good questions. The students enjoyed hearing Copper Street Brass play a few pieces as well and several of them attended the concert the next evening. The desired outcomes for the “informance” at the Senior Center were also achieved, as the seniors got to hear Copper Street Brass play many pieces; speak about their instruments and the music; and ask questions. The seniors reported enjoying this format, the interaction with the musicians, and the learning that took place. Many of the seniors attended the concert the next evening. The Brass Petting Zoo sessions also achieved the desired outcomes. The students learned basic concepts such as loud and soft; fast and slow; and high and low pitch. The Copper Street Brass played several songs that the students knew. The Copper Street Brass used “hose-a-phons” – rubber hoses of various lengths with a funnel serving as a bell on one end and their instrument mouthpiece used for playing the hose on the other – to teach the students about the relationship between the length of the brass instrument tubing and the instrument’s pitch. The Copper Street Brass players excelled at keeping the students fully engaged during these sessions. The evaluations were different for each of the residency components. For the masterclass, a written evaluation was given to the band directors to complete. Their responses are included in the evaluation document uploaded with this report. They both indicated that the learning goals were either met or exceeded for the masterclass. For the “informance” at the Senior Center, the Senior Center Director and the Community Education Director sought verbal feedback from the seniors in attendance.

At the close of this residency, students will demonstrate an understanding of how to approach a complicated drawing.

They will also know that they can cover up"" part of the model that they are drawing, and this will allow them to see little bits at a time, which can alleviate the stress of looking at a complicated drawing and trying to figure out where to start work on it. Elementary students love representational drawing, and at the end of this residency, the students will have a folder filled with drawings that are accurate and realistic, and show more detail than they would have noticed before. This experience will give the students confidence and motivation in their artistic abilities, as they will know that there is no drawing that is too hard for them, just some that will take longer to complete. This attitude change comes about after the sequence of sessions will lead the student to see that drawing more realistic and personally satisfying drawings are within their abilities. The artist has personally seen success after similar residencies, and has spoken with teachers and students years later, who have related how much they enjoyed the drawing classes, and that they saved all of the drawing that were produced in the class. This experience of learning that there is a drawing language, and that it can be learned to the point where doing mature-looking drawings is well within reach of anyone who learns it. It is also important to point out that the use of drawing pencils instills in the students a very strong feeling of accomplishment, that they know what kind of pencil they like to do certain kind of job. The artist has overheard students on many occasion discussing which pencil they ought to use, and asking to borrow a certain one from a classmate.

Out of twenty one drawings that were presented as complete, it was found that all had depicted accurate feather patterns. (Overlap from one feather to the next). Nineteen had depicted shading on the owl, while two had not included any shading, which had been addressed as a way to show the actual softness that is an adaptive feature of an owl's biology. For the Fourth grade project of self-portraits, out of a representative class of 33, the artist found that 29 showed accurate proportion in the placement of the eyes (halfway in the oval blank), while 4 had places the eyes in a more obvious high placement. Twenty five showed accurate proportions for the nose/mouth (halfway to chin/third of the way to chin). Thirty one of the students were also able to show at least two textures in their drawings using the different drawing tools. This included shiny eyes, various hair textures (straight, curly, and fuzzy), textured knit (clothing), hard/shiny (glasses), and smooth (lips and teeth).

The feedback from the ELL students include an average 4.3 out of 5 in rating their enjoyment of the project. 70% of the students would like to do more art projects. Most students appreciated making a book. One comment that stands out is ""I learn how to wrote sentence and how to match pictures and the word and I learned many things."" This response triggered an idea for improving future projects by simply matching imagery and vocabulary, the students could warm up to the ideas of visual information and creativity. We also learned the following: 1. The Somali-American students call Munsinger Gardens ""The Garden of Love"" because there is one back in Somalia. 2. The students gained confidence with the collage and Zine making by repeating it in the semester. 3. One student from China was married to an artist at one time. She had a mature artistic eye, softer in color and aesthetic, allowing for the conversation to gravitate towards global aesthetics and sensitivities. 4.

The climax where this was achieved and demonstrated was the puppet parade which took place on Friday. To have 110 children make hand puppets was great. What was so special about this was that with 14 different ethnic groups the children came up with many different ideas on what they wanted their hand puppets to be. There were of course the traditional animal puppets but we also had a number of characters from different countries. To have kindergarten children do this was a major achievement for our classes.

Success is thus based on (1) completion and (2) distribution: downloads, play-throughs and replays, exposure through exhibitions, and acceptance in festivals including imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and IndieCade. Completing Thunderbird Strike and merging my own digital art with my game design and code is the most vital outcome that will expand my body of work and serve as the step that transitions me into fully independent artful game development. The distribution of the game to players from all around the world through free web play and mobile downloads, exhibitions, and festivals is paramount to measuring the game's success. Finally, the number of play-throughs and replays can be measured to better understand games as art that can be revisited. The design and the reception from players will result in media articles and peer reviewed academic articles with credit attributed to Arrowhead Regional Arts Council for making the game possible.","Design and development of Thunderbird Strike, a 2D sidescroller game that merges Woodlands art, Anishinaabe stories, and engaging quick-paced gameplay that empowers the player as a thunderbird stopping the pipelines and protecting the Great Lakes.

Addressing each of our three goals: Goal 1--Participation: We had strong participation, increasing throughout the program period from about 40 at the first rehearsal, to the last few averaging closer to 50. People were enthusiastic about being there, evidenced by them inviting other friends to attend, suggesting songs to sing, suggesting places where we might perform next year, asking to make a CD, asking ""Can I sing a solo on this song?"" These were all frequent observations. And new relationships were and continue to be made. One member said, ""This is the only place where I can make an actual friendship with someone with a disability, and I'm not seen as the helper, or support staff, or authority. We're just equals having fun. So we look forward to seeing each other and singing together. Goal 2--Lifting up Advocating Change Together's vision: The People's Chorus successfully spread the mission of disability equality in both our performances and our rehearsals. We educated and empowered our members and audience through the words of the songs. We also lifted up the mission of community integration by modeling it in who we are as an integrated arts group performing. For example, at a December performance, one audience member said, ""I've been coming to performances at Hamline for 25 years, and this is the most powerful thing I’ve ever seen."" Through our singing songs of power and liberation, as an integrated group that includes people with intellectual disabilities, the People's Chorus is displaying power and pride and ""ordinary person-ness."" Goal 3--Building leaders: Twenty seven (27) people with disabilities played leadership roles: 17 sang a solo or lead a call response song, 4 served as welcomers to greet members as they arrive, 14 spoke up to offer ideas for how to perform a song, how to do it better, how to make rehearsals run more smoothly. Yes, we successfully reached our intended community of adults with developmental disabilities and their allies without disabilities. IN this now our second year, we are noticing how important this singing opportunity is for the core members. They look forward to it. They look forward to singing, they look forward to seeing other members. This is truly an open and integrated arts group. We do have the challenge of getting equal participation numbers from people without disabilities. (See Project Changes, below). As for promoting community diversity: We were the first disability group to participate in Hamline's theater for social justice day, which brought a new diversity to that annual arts/theater event. We were also the first developmental disability group to perform at the Macalester Plymouth Church's Sunday service. [Note: this is the organization at whose building we meet and rehearse.] They invited us to present at their Sunday service as a relationship-building opportunity between them and us. After the service, their music director asked if we could host a joint rehearsal with their choir and ours. We were successful in making this an open accessible artistic opportunity. About 25 % of members arrive using metro mobility or city bus. 5 members use wheelchairs and were able to fully participate, as the venues of rehearsal and performance, and the methods included them fully. Indeed, two members who use motorized chairs for movement and use synthetic speech devices to ""talk"" actually were the song leaders for a call response song called ""We Are the Ones."" It is a song in a call/echo format, where the leader sings a line, everyone echoes it back, continuing back and forth. Having this type of leadership at a public singing performance is truly transformative for everyone, audience and chorus members. It's a rare opportunity to experience total and never before experienced equality and shared humanity--without the sympathy and pity so often sullying any attempt to create peer connections between people with disabilities and their friends and allies and general public. Singing and participatory art is a perfect format for helping this happen.",,7680,"Other,local or private",17680,,"Doug Angier, David Belcourt, Denise Cady, Gordon Crawford, Ron Erickson, Angelina Johnson, Jenny Johnson, John Kerrigan, Kelly Lee, Larry Lubbers, Peggy Mehan, Steve Mono, Carrie O'Keefe, Carol Robinson, Larry Smith, Manny Steinman",0.00,"Advocating Change Together","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Self-Advocacy Singing Group",2016-07-01,2017-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Bret,Hesla,"Advocating Change Together","1821 University Ave W Ste 306S","St Paul",MN,55104-4533,"(651) 641-0297 ",act@selfadvocacy.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-934,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

10004717,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"This project was intended to provide an opportunity for Somali youth to speak to the community based on their own lives and experiences. Our aim was to create a safe space for the kids to explore the basic structures and challenges in the kids’ live. The stories they chose to tell addressed family, being an immigrant, overcoming racism and islamophobia, and their desire to good students. When Average Mohamed began this project, we set out the following goals: Short-term: serving 15 students, teaching the required skills, producing videos within schedule and budget, creating an experience which empowered the students. Long-term: Connecting with the broader audience, encourage dialogue within the Muslim community as well as externally. We feel that we met the short-term goals in that we had a group of approximately 20 regular participants. They met each Saturday for six months, and learned how to create a message, write a script, provide constructive criticism, create story boards, record voice-overs, and edit their cartoons. The five videos focused on Family, Islamophobia and Racism, School, Soccer Star, and Being a new Immigrant. There were several things that did not go as planned, the most significant of which was that the Young Achievers group backed out due to scheduling conflicts. This left us scrambling to find another group of kids with which to work. Fortunately, we were able to connect with a group from West Bank Athletics that fit the same demographic of teenagers from the Somali community. We did have to readjust as the language skills of this group were a bit different from what we had anticipated. Several participants had only been in the U.S. for a short period of time and were uncomfortable communicating in English. This group was also coming directly from a soccer practice, and were always famished. We soon learned that providing food for them made the sessions much more productive. This was also a transient group, with many students changing housing locations 3-4 times within the six month period. They were all enthusiastic about participating, but transportation was often an obstacle. The director of Average Mohamed often ended up providing transportation for the participants. Although most of the project went as planned, there are a number of things we would do differently the next time around, the most important of which is shortening the duration. Originally we had planned for one-hour sessions to meet once a week for six months. In hindsight, it would have been better to do two-hour sessions for three months. One hour was simply not enough time to go into depth and it often seemed as if we would have to wrap just when the conversation was getting interesting. Since the sessions ended in June, the unveiling of the videos coincided with the month of Ramadan, which was less than ideal. Our release party was not as well attended as we would have liked since many of the families were fasting and often do not go out during the day. The surveys we conducted at the end of the project indicated that the participants felt empowered by the project, and the feedback was overwhelming positive. Some felt that we spent too much time talking about the challenges they faced, and not enough time talking about solutions, so that is one thing we will try to incorporate in future programs. In our proposal we defined the community we wished to serve as kids, ages 8-14, from the Somali community. The group we worked with was slightly older, 12-18, due the switch from Young Achievers to the West Bank Athletics group. The greatest obstacles to participation were language, the fact that the kids were hungry and had a hard time focusing, and the fact that the kids lacked transportation. These obstacles were overcome by having the instructor translate into Somali, providing food during the sessions, and providing rides to and from the sessions. The group discussed issues ranging from family, the challenges of being new immigrants, their experience with racism and islamophobia, and about their dreams and ambitions. More of the classes were conducted in Somali than we anticipated, and the language issues created more challenges in recording the voice-overs than expected, but we were able to work with the recording studio to bargain for some extra time. We would love to be able to offer the program to a larger group of kids, but keeping the class size relatively small was crucial to keeping a manageable dialogue where the participants had an opportunity to share their ideas. We would often break into small groups, and a larger class size would have been difficult to manage. We were able to reach a broader audience by hosting a public event to launch the videos and by posting our videos online. MPR did a short story on the creation of the videos and the community event, which brought out quite a few people to the launch party that might not have otherwise attended. For many of the participants, this was the first time they had ever been involved in this type of discussion. This experience provided an opportunity in which the students could voice their frustrations in a safe space, develop language and public speaking skills without fear of failure, have an open discussion with one another, and frame the conversation around their own thoughts and ideas, rather than in response to community events. We were able to make the project open and accessible to all who wished to participate. In the future, we will plan more resources for language translation.",,,,10000,,"Mohamed Ahmed, Farhiya Farah, Maren Christenson Hofer, Peter Krug, Christine Skovira",,"Average Mohamed","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Average Mohamed Youth Cartoon Project",2016-07-01,2017-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mohamed,Ahmed,"Average Mohamed","5209 Humboldt Ave N",Minneapolis,MN,55430,"(612) 310-2843 ",mohamedamin_1@hotmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-936,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2
10004718,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"We had 240 total artists (73% of cast and crew) including 22 contractors and 218 volunteers who worked in various visual and/or performing arts roles. Volunteer artists included 126 adult visual artists and 69 adult performing artists, plus 6 youth (age 13-18) and 17 children (age 12 and under), representing 8 visual and 15 performing artists. Of the 22 artistic contractors, 15 also performed. Our project, entitled ""You Were Once Wild Here,” was a thrillingly beautiful show that largely achieved our proposed artistic goals, with several key challenges. Though we didn't quite hit the 350+ total participants as proposed, we did have 330, including a cast of 99 (total performers) and a crew of 231 (total non-performers). These included 52 contractors (16%) and 278 volunteers (84%). Volunteers included 7 youth (3 performers) and 17 children (12 performers) – the youngest age four. Among all participants, 90 were mainly in non-artistic roles (27%), and 240 were mainly in visual or performing artistic roles (73%), with some in each. It would have been our first time staging six shows, but our second weekend Saturday show (which normally attracts our largest audience) rained out so that we only staged five. The rain-out was our first since 2009, third since 2005, and only the second we couldn't make up. Performers included 17 musicians compared to “dozens” proposed, but 82 main stage performers compared to “85+”, some of whom had multiple performing roles. These included 59 puppeteers/dancers, 21 fire performers (with 15 safety spotters) including, for the first time, two fire acrobats, as well as 10 stilters, 9 ritual performance artists, and 8 bike puppeteers. We did not have aerialists as proposed, included since 2010, due to our inability to attract a lead aerialist willing to perform in late October temperatures. We had two notable challenges involving staffing and artistic directorship. First, contractor staffing was delayed by two months and didn't start until July, so that artistic staff were not hired until after August 1st, our goal for it to have been done. This caused a cascade of delays. For example, the Staff Orientation scheduled for August 14th was not held until September 12th. Probably because some contractors were not in place for the Storyboard Process, there was no storyboard to present at the Community Kickoff on September 13th. Likely owing to delayed story boarding, we had an average run-time of 89 minutes, well past the target ideal run-time of 60 minutes that we defined in 2012, which probably lead to significant audience walk-offs on the two nights with the largest attendance. Second, staffing became rushed. We eventually hired a solo Artistic Director for the first time (instead of two Artistic Co-Directors) who, in spite of being an experienced stage director, didn't have experience directing puppetry arts or working on our production. This resulted in two serious directorial challenges, a shortfall in the capacity for attention and communication at outdoor rehearsals, and a clash of leadership style with veteran contractors and volunteers fraught with perceived communication and respect issues. The Board has since established staffing policies that favor Artistic Co-Director applicant pairs, and require any solo Artistic Director applicants to have had prior experience on the production. We had volunteer participation generally as proposed. After our volunteer count hit 250 in 2012 and 300 in 2015, it was down slightly at 278. We recruited mainly with MailChimp and Facebook, and our Volunteer Coordinator used SignUp.com for the first time to promote volunteer opportunities and schedule and remind volunteers. We again faced perennial challenges to fill some of the non-artistic volunteer roles in audience services. As late as four days before opening night, for example, urgent appeals were being sent to e-mail networks for Parking Hands and Ushers on opening weekend. For the seventh year running (since going to five shows), we had a total audience of 6,100+, down somewhat compared to the prior three years. Our shows drew an average nightly audience of 1,341 and a total audience of 6,704. This was down 1,244 (16%) from our average total audience of 7,948 for 2013-15, and was closer to our average total audience of 6,395 for 2010-12. Attendance was, in fact, extremely similar to our 2011 production, the last time Halloween fell on a Monday, which also featured a run starting on October 22nd and a very similar schedule of SA/SU + SA/SU/MO compared to FR/SA/SU/MO in 2016. After setting both opening night and weekend attendance records for the last two years, and in spite of ideal weather, opening weekend attendance of 2,081 was down 927 (31%) from the three-year average of 3,008 for 2013-15, and was very close to the 2011 total of 1,941. Reasons for lower opening weekend and overall attendance are complex. There could be a socio-cultural factor surrounding a Monday night Halloween. Besides weather, key factors influencing past attendance have likely included how early before opening weekend we issued a press release, and the amount of print, broadcast, and online media coverage the show received prior to opening weekend. In 2016, our press release went out one day past our latest date target of three Wednesdays before opening night. For the first time in recent memory, our performances received no staff interviews, feature articles, or reviews from any of the major Twin Cities mainstream or alternative news media that have covered us in the past, including Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, TPT, Fox 9, MPR, Minnesota Monthly, City Pages, and Unicorn Riot. In addition, upon the request of City of St Paul, we intentionally limited our largest two audiences to 1,800 and 1,900 by additional staffing and “at capacity” announcements at the park entrance, to significantly reduce 2,000+ bubble audiences as occurred in 2013-15. In terms of ADA accessibility, during our run 33 cars used reserved accessible parking, 116 audience used reserved accessible seating, 7 audience used ASL services, and, for the first time since we began offering Audio Description in 2011, 2 audience used AD services. We counted 515 bikes on our racks at performances representing generally 7-10% of our audience nightly and 8% of our audience overall.",,56457,"Other,local or private",66457,,"Jan Elftmann, Scottie Hall, Joel Swearingen, Heather Hinrichsen, Jeff Adams, Tom Carlson, Angie Courchaine, Dan Polsfuss, Peter Schulze",0.00,"Barebones Productions AKA Barebones Puppets","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"23rd Annual Halloween Outdoor Puppet Extravaganza",2016-07-01,2016-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brent,Harring,"Barebones Productions AKA Barebones Puppets","PO Box 7246",Minneapolis,MN,55407,"(612) 374-9103 ",puppets@barebonespuppets.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-937,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

10004720,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"264 people attended 4 concerts, performed by 15 musicians. Audience feedback showed that the audience enjoyed the performances, and felt closer and more connected to the music through personal contact with musicians. The Artistic Goals of this project, as defined in our narrative were: 1. Present intimate concerts to connect with audiences in meaningful ways. 2. Challenge ourselves with demanding repertoire that is both technically and emotionally satisfying. 3. Expose audiences to significant masterworks of the Baroque era. 4. Promote and educate audiences about Historically Informed Performance. We believe that we achieved these goals. Addressing our 1st goal, we performed our concerts in The Baroque Room, an intimate chamber music space designed acoustically for baroque music. There is seating for 60 people, but it feels full with as few as 20 people in the audience. They are seated on the same plane as we are, and the front row is 5 feet away from the nearest player. This small space allowed us to have a direct connection to the audience with our performances, removing the barrier between performer and listener. We know that this was true for our audience because they would sometimes ask us questions between pieces, and were open in their emotional involvement in the music. Their reactions affected us directly as players, and we responded musically in turn. We felt that we had an exchange with our audience which was very fulfilling emotionally. Addressing our 2nd goal, we certainly challenged ourselves with our choice of repertoire! Concert I was challenging to Marc Levine, our violinist, who played as a soloist alongside his teacher Marc Destrubé. Concert II was programmatically challenging. ""A Baroque Christmas"" is a program we do every year, but we pick different music. This year included technically challenging music, especially for Tulio Rondón (viola da gamba), such as Marin Marais's La Sonnerie and a Telemann Paris Quartet. This program also included colonial fiddle tunes that Marc Levine (violin) improvised upon. Concert III was especially challenging for Tami Morse (harpsichord). She performed 12 sonatas in 3 days, of some of the most difficult music for harpsichord. It was a marathon for her especially! Concert IV was a challenge to Tulio Rondón (cello), as he played cello sonatas alongside his colleague and our guest Beiliang Zhu. It was a satisfying season for all of us! Addressing our 3rd goal, we exposed our audience to Baroque standards such as the JS Bach double violin concerto, the JS Bach f minor harpsichord concerto, and music by JS Bach that one might not necessarily hear, such as all the violin and gamba sonatas in 3 days. We programmed music by lesser known composers such as Avison, Muffat, Becker, and Barrière. Addressing our 4th goal, we spoke at every concert about historical performance practice, our instruments, and the repertoire. The greatest challenge we all had was learning so much music at a high level. Three back-to-back days of Bach sonatas, for example, was extremely difficult, since all 12 needed to be learned and maintained at the same time. In the future, we would spread a project like this out over the season. We successfully reached our intended community of musicians and audience members. Our audience was diverse in that there was a wide range of ages attending, including children and grandparents. Our ticket prices are not too high ($20 adult/$15 senior and student), and we made an effort to give out complimentary tickets to people we know that would not be able to attend otherwise. In terms of ethnic diversity, there were Chinese and Canadian musicians, and two of our core members are Venezuelan and mixed-race Japanese American. Approximately 10% of our audience was made up of minority ethnicities. As a group, we have discussed how to have a more diverse audience. We are thinking about a number of solutions such as performing in different locations and handing out comp tickets to minority communities. Next season we are MPR class notes artists, and will be performing for mostly elementary-aged children. We are happy that we will be exposing younger people to baroque music, and hope to encourage the most enthusiastic to attend our concerts in the future. Our concerts were all open to the public and handicapped accessible. Our flexible seating allowed us to put people in wheelchairs right up front, or on the end of a row. We made an extra effort to make everyone in our audience comfortable, and they seemed to appreciate it. All in all, we served the community that we expected we would, and are brainstorming about how to expand that community to be more diverse in the future.",,14975,"Other,local or private",24975,,"Marc Levine, Tami Morse, Judy Gilats, Andy Wilson, Maria Jette, Beth Wenstrom, Johanna Novom, Nissim Schaul",0.00,"Flying Forms","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Flying Forms 2016-17 Concert Series",2016-11-12,2017-04-22,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Marc,Levine,"Flying Forms","275 4th St E Ste 280","St Paul",MN,55101,"(651) 705-6772 ",info@flyingforms.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-939,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

It started as my role, but quickly expanded to include everyone. Several women from Alliance self-designated themselves as the organizers, and they are. They come early, help set up chairs, and then make sure everyone who walks in is welcomed and hugged. We also hold an 'end of session' potluck at a nearby condo. That has become something to anticipate and, again, has been taken over by the group. There truly is no group leader, other than JD when we sing! The model we found is working! We are passionate about our group. There was a 3 month hiatus planned for January-March of this year, and there was so much discussion about THREE months being too long, that we found the money to add in March rehearsals. We want to bring in neighbors from the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. That has not been successful up to this point. It would be a major point of effort if we are allowed to repeat this grant. Expanding our rehearsals from 24 to 30 is a major new goal. In our grant proposal, we suggested that we would ‘solicit audience opinions about their enjoyment of performances via short questionnaires about our stated artistic and community goals.’ While we did not use questionnaires, we did solicit opinions. The questionnaires became logistically problematic, so we decided to ‘spread out’ after performances and solicit opinions from audience members verbally and report back to the choir about the remarks. The majority of comments were about the magic of JD Steele, the diversity of the singers, and the enthusiasm and passion with which we sang. We performed in very different venues to very different audiences, ranging from the Guthrie Theater, the MacPhail Music Matters Luncheon, at the Concert Across American to End Violence, Winterfest on 2nd Avenue in the Mill District, to singing ‘Take Me out to the Ballgame’ during the 7th Inning stretch at a Minnesota Twins game. It is difficult to imagine a more diverse range of venues, although we are determined to add audiences next year. Our goals were met in ways we couldn’t have imagined, and we far surpassed anything we were able to imagine. Our intention to do outreach to diverse communities was accomplished, but we are clear there is much more work to be done. We did not perform in the Cedar Riverside community and are already in discussion to do so next year. It is a slow process as we discovered. Gaining entre demands gaining trust and that is done by ‘showing up’ which is exactly what a group of us has begun doing, and we are confident that next year we will accomplish this goal. We ended this season with 160 members on our roster. The average attendance at rehearsals seems to have ‘settled’ at 42-43 singers. We have carloads of men from Harbor Lights attending, people from Alliance Apartments and Emanuel Housing, as well as many members from the Mill District condominiums, as well as members from condos in the St Anthony neighborhood. There is even a ‘friend’ who drives from North Branch to sing with us. While our outreach has been incredibly successful, we are just getting started!",,4000,"Other,local or private",12000,,"Claudia Evarts-Kittock, Cynthia Froid, Ken Searl, David Tinjum",0.00,"Friends of the Mill District","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Mill City Emanuel Singers",2016-06-04,2017-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Claudia,Kittock,"Friends of the Mill District","212 10th Ave S Apt 102",Minneapolis,MN,55415,"(763) 913-7469 ",cjkittock@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-940,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2
10004722,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"This four concert, free-will offering program, showcased twenty-one artists touching the lives of 260 attendees. 92% of participants valued the performance with the remaining 8% indicated that time of day was not the most convenient. Free-will offerings increased 50 % in comparison to last year. The Bauman Fine Arts Concert Series consisted of four concerts during the 2016-2017 season. These concerts showcased interdisciplinary experiences, world class professional musicians, award winning dancers and amateur artists including a children’s choir and dance troupe from the Twin Cities. Overall, this project proved to be creative, educational, artistic, and spiritual for both the performers and audience. The first two concerts, “Love and Death at Harvest Time” and “O Holy Night” were held at Hazel Park Congregational United Church of Christ. The acoustics enhanced the sound to a high quality giving the listeners an intimate insight to what the musicians hope to hear as they produce the sound. The drawback to this concert space is the positioning of the musicians. Due to a faulty architectural design, the soloists are separated from the piano/harpsichord making this an added challenge to communicate while performing. In order for future performances to take place in this setting, significant thought is needed for proper positioning of musicians. “O Holy Night” shared the stage with professional musicians and a children’s choir. The children got the opportunity to hear and experience professional musicians in their neighborhood. Though both of these concerts were family-oriented, we recognized two things: 1) “Love and Death at Harvest Time” needed more relatable music for the younger audience to truly make it family-oriented and 2) in the “O Holy Night” concert, we needed to build a better relationship between the soloist and the children’s choir, so it did not feel like two separate entities coming together for one concert. The third concert, “World Music in Motion” was a beautiful display of dance and music at the Steeple Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. The music seemed as though it was written for the dance and the choreography was shaped to each note. The stage at the Steeple Center was beautiful and yet two things were noticed: 1) the musicians were so far to the back of the stage to make room for the dancers that it was hard to hear at times; 2) this concert really focused on the performance more than the educational component. More interaction with the audience may have been elicited if more explanation of the style of music in conjunction with the kind of dance was more fully articulated. The fourth concert, “New Music” was a milestone of professionalism as Asako Hirabayashi premiered her new work, “Espressivo-Siciliano-Vivace,” trio for oboe, bassoon, and piano. It was a high caliber performance showcasing musicians from the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra. The concert was held at Parkway United Church of Christ and the acoustics made the music soar giving the attendees an opportunity to engage this kind of music outside the walls of Orchestra Hall. The only drawback to this concert was the lack of a stage manager which would have facilitated smoother transitions between music selections. The Bauman Fine Arts Series reached a new level of artistic involvement by the individuals who performed in this 2016-2017 program. The multidisciplinary projects gave artists an opportunity to work together in ways they may not have otherwise. The assortment of styles and techniques made the work both professionally engaging and challenging. The Bauman Fine Arts Series reached our intended audience; however, not to its fullest potential. Our average attendance was 65 individuals. Attendees were women, men, gender non-conforming, young, old, different abilities, races, ethnicities, and religious affiliations. Our largest attendees were white, which leads to our main question, how do we better engage the diversity in our neighborhood? Is it through the music performance, is it through the educational component? Our completed surveys indicated that individuals appreciated the repertoire presented; however, this was answered by a majority white audience. Many of our regular concert goers did not attend “World Music in Motion” at the Steeple Center. Even though this was a professional stage, our attendees did not want to travel to a third ring suburb of the Twin Cities. Also, it was noticed that even with substantial advertising in the Rosemount area, we did not see a significant number of new concert attendees. If we choose to have another concert in this venue, more advertising research is needed. Our final concert, “New Music” in North Minneapolis was an example of true collaboration between two organizations with established concert series. This concert also featured highly acclaimed musicians who bring a following of their own. With that said, attendance was diverse and new attendees were present. Our work with the Bauman Fine Arts Series has to be more strategic in collaborating with other organizations within the Eastside St Paul neighborhood as well as other targeted organizations in the Metro area in order to get the word out more fully. The publicity schedule that was outlined in the grant proposal was completed and yet, we are finding that building relationships with specific organizations will prove more beneficial in the future for advertising and community involvement.",,,,10000,,"Sara Morse, Asako Hirabayashi, Julie Kovacs, Sara Mensen, Andrea Marshall, Clea Galhano, Margaret Humphrey, Momoko Tanno",,"Hazel Park United Church of Christ","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Bauman Fine Arts Series 2016-2017",2017-06-30,2017-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Morse,"Hazel Park United Church of Christ","1831 Minnehaha Ave E","St Paul",MN,55119,"(651) 735-2555 ",hirabayashi.asako@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Dakota, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-941,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Approximately 60% of our audience stayed for post-concert receptions, interacting positively with Lyra's musicians and building relationships. Audience surveys yielded a surprisingly high 45% average response rate, and with the exception of two, responses were thoughtful, effusive, and positive. GOALS: 1. Rediscovery and reinterpretation of popular and seldom-heard early music that is beautiful and powerful: This season included popular works such as Telemann’s Tafelmusik and Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, as well as repertoire by less familiar composers like Georg Muffat and Carl Heinrich Graun. One highlight was exploring Der Tod Jesu (The Death of Christ) by Graun with Grinnell Singers. A wonderful piece that was beloved in its day, the Lyra performance was the North American premiere. 2. The potential of the music and musicians to communicate with the audience: This season Lyra’s Artistic Director Jacques Ogg began a series of well received pre-concert talks, to share information about the music, the composers, and his reasons for choosing them. Audience members were invited to mingle with musicians at post-concert receptions, staying as long as an hour after the concert to get to know each other and discuss the concert they just shared. 3. The potential of the program to educate the audience in musical and cultural understanding: Lyra’s Artistic Director wrote this season’s program notes. An engaging and approachable writer, he is also exceptionally knowledgeable. The pre-concert talks and post-concert receptions encouraged open exchange of ideas and questions between musicians, audience members, and Lyra board/administrators. 4. The music’s technical and intellectual challenges for the performers: Many musicians said that the concert of Brandenburg Concertos was both one of the most challenging and most musically satisfying experiences they’d ever had. It's rare to perform all six concertos on the same concert, and doing so on period instruments increases both the difficulty and the satisfaction. The March concert, with full orchestra, soloists, and chorus, was not only one of the most technically challenging concerts of the season but also featured unfamiliar repertoire. By the end of the project, people were in love with the piece and looking eagerly ahead to the next chance to work together. 5. Distinctiveness and personality of themes, lending themselves to effective audience building: Each concert featured a different theme and collection of sounds. For example, the first concert featured all instruments in different combinations, as laid out by Telemann for his “Table Music” vignettes. January celebrated Telemann and all of his connections, with rich strings, and outstanding emerging artists on harpsichord and flute. Overall, we were quite successful in working toward these goals. Jacques’s programming is always engaging, and this season brought in a lot of new audience members. One area on which we could have focused more is educating the audience in musical and cultural understanding. While our concert experience is informative and welcoming, we can do better at making more information about the music and instruments we play available online so that people arrive at concerts with greater basic understanding of baroque music. Lyra successfully reached our intended community this year, which included early music lovers as young as two years old, senior citizens, and everyone between. In terms of numbers, we averaged 252 people per concert, shattering expectations and our goal of 210. Students made up around 10% of that total. We are always exploring new ways to bring in more students, both to encourage the next generation of musicians and music lovers and also because of the special vibrancy of a multi-generation audience. Lyra’s concerts are economically accessible to the community through low prices for students ($10/ticket), and our policy of giving out many complimentary tickets to families, low-income fans, and anyone else who requests them. This year around 60 people received comp tickets for our Sundin Hall concerts. We also offer volunteer opportunities for those who would like to exchange their time for concert tickets, resulting in an additional 5-10 people per concert attending for free. One of the reasons we chose Sundin Hall for our performances is its convenient parking and easy entry, and we give early entrance through a side door to our patrons with special needs. This includes one blind woman, and a number of people in wheelchairs. Promoting cultural and ethnic diversity is a challenge, which is unsurprising considering that classical music audiences in the region are overwhelmingly white. We have had the most luck reaching diverse audiences through our school outreach programs, and we continue to explore new ways to encourage and welcome a culturally diverse audience at our programs. Our community of musicians is as diverse as it can be within the Twin Cities region. Just about every professional early music specialist in town is hired by Lyra at some point in the season. Lyra is unusual in that the majority of its musicians are women. The LGBT community is represented including gay and transgender players. Ethnically Lyra is mainly white, but includes players from Brazil and Venezuela.",,44590,"Other,local or private",54590,,"Ellen Rider, Bonnie Turpin, Nancy Levine, Margaret Sullivan, Joan Rabe, Elizabeth York",0.00,"Lyra, Inc.

As predicted, the festival was also able to provide a platform to 30 Arab and Arab American filmmakers, not to mention the cast and crew involved with the films. The festival also attracted 1,500 audience members, and increase of 25% over the previous year's festival. Our main goal was to successfully produce the 11th edition of our Twin Cities Film Festival. Within that, we sought to be a platform for Arab/Arab American/Muslim filmmakers of both emerging and established status to share their work, authentically representing real Arab experiences and countering current stereotypical and harmful representations of our communities circulating through popular media and politics. Through this, we also sought to give Minnesotan audiences a complex, real encounter with the Arab world and Arab diaspora through film. We sought to increase and diversify that audience, and therefore in-crease our revenue with an eye toward sustainability of this program. We did indeed achieve our goals—the 2016 Twin Cities Arab Film Festival was successfully presented by Mizna at Saint Anthony Main Theater September 29 through October 2. We showed 14 feature length films and 16 shorts, including a set of local Iraqi emerging filmmakers’ shorts in conjunction with the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project and, for the first time, a special free high school screening with partner schools/teachers. We also had an opening party at Pracna. The 2016 Twin Cities Arab Film Festival box office numbers grew by 25%. The special free high school screening brought in a new population of youth to our festival for a film about the contemporary music scene in four Arab countries, with a post-show discussion with local Arab and Muslim artists. Regarding what did not work, we had a large group of high school students who were coming for a school-day matinee cancel at the last minute because of a mix-up with their transportation that their teachers did not anticipate. Although did have a theater half-full of high school students, we had expected to be completely full. What we will do differently is to di-versify the locations that students are coming from, and to sign an agreement with schools or teachers so that there is a commitment to follow through with bringing students for this special opportunity, understanding that there may be unforeseen circumstances. The community identified in this proposal is the Twin Cities Arab and Muslim community. This community is critical for Mizna; we strive to serve it and to be an outlet for the vital voices it represents. We did successfully reach the intended community, in that the numbers in our survey results point to 40% of our audience identifying as Arab or Muslim. While we did reach the audience we intended, generally, we have noticed that we don’t often have first generation immigrants attending our film festival, and that was the case this year. There may be a continued perception among relatively new immigrants, or for community members who are relatively new to the US that our film festival is too racy or esoteric. We are committed to reaching out at community events like Palestine Day, Egyptian American Society of Minnesota’s annual picnic, and the Maronite Church’s Lebanese Festival to spread the word about the festival. We also are working to seek children’s films or current cartoons that are popular in the Middle East to be screened at our festival for Family Screenings. We met our accessibility goals in that our ticket prices did not increase, we continued to offer student and senior ticket prices. We advertised the accommodations of large-print materials and translation more than two weeks before the festival. We also offered for the first time a free student screening.

While this evidently demonstrates financial access to the program, the level at which attendees donated jeopardizes my ability to meet budget, and grow the project. I would have liked more artists to apply to the project. This year I will extend the submission/application period. The artists uniformly created successful works. This year there some artists had expectations that were not a good fit with the project, and so for the coming year I will create an Artists' Information document so that each artist applying understands the capacity of the project. This year there were way too many comp tickets given, due to the fact that I was offering comps on a more informal basis than I probably should have. In the coming year I will only offer a set number of comps per artist. Additionally, artists included free tickets as part of their individual fundraising campaigns, and this led to a loss in income. I will no longer allow admissions as part of the artists; individual promotional activities. Audience numbers were strong, commensurate with each individual artist's promotional efforts, so those who put more effort into promotion had bigger audiences. Unfortunately, there isn't the budget to do more marketing than I am already able to do. There was artistic diversity, in both the artists chosen and the audiences who came. However, too often the audience for one artist would leave prior to the performance of the second artist. This is because I have set up the program to be ""a la carte"", hoping audiences would stay for both shows. Next year I will schedule the performances to prohibit audiences leaving after the 1st performance.

10004729,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"Quantitative: Untitled increased the visibility of local and emerging artists by introducing them to larger audience every year, we increased the number of individuals viewing the work from 6600 to 7000 (this includes online viewership). Qualitative: Untitled will lead to 85% of the participating artists securing additional opportunities as a direct result of exhibiting their work in Untitled. We feel that in many ways Untitled 13 exceeded our goals, thanks to our funding from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s arts activities grant we were able to fulfill our objectives in the following ways: Internationally known curators, Dean Otto and Astria Suparak selected 16 artists out of 184 submissions. The culminating exhibition had a wide range of artistic approaches site-specific light activated installation, a video and audio work, large scale paintings, mixed media, photography and sculpture, that all came together in a harmonious and thought-provoking way. Dean Otto and Astria Suparak deliberated extensively about how the pieces would work in the space, in the final meeting Dean Otto was able to come to the space in person while Astria Skyped in and they made final decisions about the participating artists and the placement of the work. Rik Sferra, professor of media arts at Minneapolis College of Art and Design and accomplished photographer, documented the work for each of the artists so they have high quality images for their portfolios. Artists were provided with shipping and transportation stipends based on need. Each of the artists received feedback and assistance on their artist statements and special installation needs for their work from Executive Director, Carolyn Payne and Associate Director, Alison Hiltner. Untitled 13 also had an exhibition catalog that included information about and images of all the participating artists work, an essay by Astria Suparak, a history of the Untitled exhibition series, and a dedication to Craig Seacotte. After over sixteen years of programming, SooVAC remains committed to supporting local artists and exposing many traditionally under-served groups to contemporary art. We provide an environment that appeals to visitors who are aware of issues within contemporary art (artists, art historians, curators, collectors) and those who are not (children, passers-by, and neighbors). Strengthening our connection to community is a priority of SooVAC and Untitled is a prime opportunity for supplemental programming and outreach. Several of the artists exhibiting in this year’s Untitled have had few if any exhibitions in a professional art space, providing them not only with a setting for their work that compliments and spotlights the final piece but also bringing them plenty of exposure through the public, potential collectors, and the press. We created the opportunity for new audiences to be introduced to artists in Untitled by holding an event for Kill Kancer, a local nonprofit that brought in an audience of 200 people. And SooVAC also held a book launch for Stefanie Motta’s Water Line, 25% of all book sales was donated to Clean Water Action by the artist. Both of these events brought in new attendees to the space and exhibition. It is imperative to the success of the Untitled series that we have a large applicant pool, allowing the guest jurors to choose from a richly diverse group of artists. We have a very minimal fee of $15 fee and for those that could not pay we waived this fee for several of the applicants. Lifting this socio-economic barrier is a very important step to expanding our submission pool and ensuring this opportunity is available to everyone. Coinciding with the Untitled 13 exhibition was Side Effects May Include: New Work by Chelsea Reeck. Chelsea was selected to exhibit by Payne and Hiltner through an open call to all Minneapolis College of Art and Design Masters in Fine Art candidates, 2017 marks the 15th year of SooVAC exhibiting work by Minneapolis College of Art and Design graduate students. We actively assisted any artists that needed guidance preparing their application to ensure anyone who wanted to apply could create a successful submission, this included walking some artists through the process step by step in person or over the phone. We also did not enforce the submission fee all applications were accepted. And in an effort to increase the diversity of the artists applying and selected, we always reach out to past jurors, non-metro art organizations, other twin cities non-profits and post announcements with both local and national institutions of learning. Our diversity efforts are at the fore front of planning the Untitled exhibition series and includes ever evolving methods to reach as many communities as possible, at the fore front of this is insuring we have diverse jurors. This year’s jurors Dean Otto, currently Curator of Film at the Speed Art Museum and was previously Associate Curator of Film/Video at the Walker Art Center, and Astria Suparak, has curated exhibitions for PS1, Museo Rufino Tamayo (Mexico City), The Kitchen, Eyebeam Art+Technology Center, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, The Liverpool Biennial 2004, and Exposition Chicago 2014 as well as for non-art spaces such as roller-skating rinks, elementary schools, sports bars, rock clubs, and ferry boats. Both curators have put an emphasis on representing a variety of different voices throughout their careers. Otto curated the Walker’s Queer Takes program after serving as the programmer for the Minneapolis/Saint Paul LGBT Film Festival for several years for Minnesota Film Arts.

When reading the post - evaluations by the women participants virtually every one of the 47 women indicated that they would definitely recommend this program to others, this evident through the inmate requests I receive on a daily basis inquiring when the program will be offered again. I believe I did achieve the artistic goals set out in the proposal. Incarcerated women were given the opportunity to express themselves through the narrative process of communication. The participants created poems and other written dialogues that helped that important human need of self-esteem. In addition I saw a bonding of the women participants after the four week program. I witnessed tears of joy and tears of sadness emanating from the women after they had expressed themselves through their works of art. I would like to change where the final reading takes place. Currently it takes place in a gymnasium that is very spacious and the acoustics are poor. In 2017 - 2018 I am going to attempt to hold the final reading in a large programs area, this may be a bit cramp however it would be worth a try. The participants all were hoping to ""practice"" their poems and writings before the final reading. I feel this is a fair request and I will attempt to incorporate some practice time into the four week program. In my proposal it was hoped to reach out to the other female inmates. I was successful in this endeavor, I provided lemonade and cookies at the conclusion of each public reading. Although this was a carrot for the other female inmates to attend, it was interesting to note the positive interaction and socialization the female inmates had after each one of the three public readings. In addition to the female inmates attending, I had the Sheriff, under Sheriff, Commander, Assistant jail Administrator, program staff, probation officer and we even had a retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice attend the public readings.

The Wayzata Symphony Orchestra sought out to advance its mission of bringing together accomplished and passionate musicians to engage the community with enlightening concert presentations. We were successful in achieving the following goals: Present new and familiar technically challenging works in every concert. Partner with local soloists and composers to bring light to new artists and works. Illuminate the ‘inner life’ of the music through verbal commentary and multimedia presentations. This season was challenging yet rewarding. We presented a world premiere, time-honored masterpieces, showcased world class soloists and incorporated multimedia into our performances this season. Our collaborations challenged the orchestra to accompany guest artists at a very high level which resulted in positive feedback from audience members. Each season we strive to broaden our community and this season we were successful in reaching more people through various social media and streaming outlets. We encountered challenges with live streaming to assisted living communities this season. The acoustics in the Wayzata Community Church sanctuary proved to be challenging for the live stream. In order to continue in these efforts, we will have to find quite a bit more funding for equipment which will enable a higher quality product. However, we learned about what is needed to better the technology for the future. We enjoy educating our audiences with facts about composers and their works. This season we were successful in reaching our goal to include information about our orchestra members and guest artists in the written programs. Our goal is to continue to use our Long-Term Planning Committee to further develop ways to reach and educate our audiences in the future. We were successful in reaching our intended community this season. Our outreach efforts of presenting four diverse programs resulted in reaching more new audience members. Specifically, the “Wind Wizards” program reached more children and youth because of our unusual ""Balloon"" soloist; the collaboration with Minnesota Poet Laureate Joyce Sutphen attracted audience members interested in literature and poetry; The Brahms' Requiem attracted and engaged audiences who know and love choral music and that piece in particular; The Planets program with our guest narrator from the Minnesota Astronomical Society brought a large number of audience members who were attracted by the science focus of the concert.

Our participants came from 57 different schools. Their increased skills and motivation strengthened their school music programs and inspired their peers. Our groups performed 21 times for over 6,000 people, bringing them joy and appreciation of music. Overall our artistic goals for the project were met. We ended up serving 153 students in nine ensembles, with overall enrollment approximately the same as last year. We had planned for our ensembles to do at least 14 total performances and they did 21. We hoped to have approximately 2,000 audience members attend our concerts and we estimate that we had more than 6,000. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands provides our participants with an opportunity to study and perform jazz music with musical peers on a regular basis throughout the school year. While there are similar school-year opportunities for classical musicians and plenty of summer jazz camps, we believe that Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands is unique in providing a high level ongoing jazz rehearsal and performance opportunity during the school year. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands benefits not just our students, but also their families, friends, schools and the musical community at large. Our students return to their school programs with increased skills and understanding, which strengthens and inspires their peers. This past season students from 60 different schools participated in a Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands group. There were no unusual challenges this year. The project went very smoothly. We added an extra ensemble for 10 weeks in the fall to accommodate some applicants who did not make our higher groups. The students and parents seemed to appreciate that added opportunity. Our groups performed a total of 21 times: Jazz I performed in public six times, and Jazz II five times; Jazz III three times; the Supersax group twice, the fall Mid-Level Group once, and our North Metro and three Mid-Level groups once each. Each of our public performances brings joy and appreciation to hundreds of people at a time. This past season our groups performed for over 6,000 people, a large increase over the previous year. Parents and families of participating students are very supportive. Recent quotes from parents: “Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands is extremely impressive. You attract many of the state's top young musicians to the program, treat them like the artists that they are, and help nurture their talent and musicianship. It is just a great opportunity you provide for them to gather and rehearse each week and then knock our collective socks off when it comes to the concerts.” “Thanks again for 4 wonderful years. You have a superb team of band directors working with you. Zach has learned so much and has had a lot of fun, as well as making a lot of great new friends.” Accessibility: The community we serve has gotten increasingly diverse over the years. Minnesota Youth Jazz Bands recruits students from over 170 different middle and high schools in all seven metro counties. Our students come from diverse geographic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Students from many different racial/ethnic backgrounds, male and female, have participated in each of the program’s 12 years. Our students vary widely in age and ability. We’ve structured each of our eight groups for different ages, abilities, program lengths, and geographic locations so that we have a spot for almost everyone who has an interest. We provide liberal scholarship assistance in cases of financial need. Students vary in age and ability. What they all share is a desire to learn and perform jazz music, directed by professional musician-educators, in the company of other students who love music as much as they do. Our rehearsal locations are in different parts of the metro area to provide better access to our program. Our concert locations are centrally located and open to the public. Performance dates, times and location are announced publicly. The CDs we produce are available to anyone for a small fee that helps us cover the production cost. We give away a number of free CDs each year to aspiring jazz students. All of the rehearsal or performance facilities used by the Youth Jazz Bands program are accessible to people with disabilities in accordance with ADA guidelines.

We will accomplish this goal by presenting concerts, artist workshops, networking opportunities and one-on-one mentoring sessions with industry professionals as part of a 3-day free festival. Last year we had about 500 people who attended the Summit, and this year we hope to boost that to 750 or more.The Minnesota Music Summit was conceived and designed as a result of our first Caravan du Nord, in response to evaluation, feedback and successes of that endeavor. As we enter our third year of the Minnesota Music Summit, we continue to build on the program based on artist and participant feedback. The Minnesota Music Coalition will continue to evaluate the success of this project both qualitatively and quantitatively. To track attendance, we will do both a head count and an email sign-in at the networking event and workshops. The Amsterdam staff track total number of concert attendees that come through the door. We will provide written surveys to participating artists after the Summit is over, a method that has worked well in the past. We will also measure the quality of the event through comments on our social media as well as through informal conversations and post-event meetings with Minnesota Music Coalition staff, board and partnering organizations.","All participants who responded to our survey said they had a ""good"" or ""excellent"" experience at the 2014 Minnesota Music Summit and thought the program content was of high quality; All of the musicians who performed said they were ""very likely"" to recommend this event to other artists; We increased attendance overall and more than doubled the attendance at the Thursday night social hour.",,4710,"Other, local or private",14050,,"Tony Mendoza, Chris Osgood, Mark Stutrud, Chuck Hermes, Beth Burns, Sean Dowse, Dessa, Mark Gehring, Molly Maher, John Munson, Andrew Volna, Brian Turner",,"Minnesota Music Coalition","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 3rd annual Minnesota Music Summit, a free festival that includes workshops, mentoring sessions, networking opportunities and concerts showcasing the state’s best artists with young bands from the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.

Most of our audience, 56% reported hearing about the show from friends of family members. ""Friend saw a show in 2012 and he's been raving ever since. In town for the weekend and had to catch it!"" Our audience has been great advocates for the production. Donald Giovanni in Cornlandia was a big success with audiences in the metro area. We received big audiences at performances at the JD Rivers' Childrens Garden, the Skidmore Park Community Garden, the Alexis Bailly Vineyard (two performances), the Bronx Park Community Garden, Dodge Nature Center's Farm Education Center and Frogtown Farm. We received a lot of coverage in local press, praising the musical, theatrical and edible elements of the production. Reviewer Arthur Dorman of Talkin' Broadway praised the production: ""The Picnic Operetta does not pretend to be serious opera, or even operetta, but a delightful send-up of the form, which can be enjoyed by opera buffs and those who don't care for opera, or perhaps have never seen an opera at all. Don Giovanni in Cornlandia is ninety minutes spent in natural surroundings, laughing and having our wits sharpened a bit, enjoying some genuinely lovely Mozart compositions along with some soul tunes, some rock, and some country—and being pampered by the tastes and scents of seasonal foods. The audience includes young and old, and there seems to be something in the Picnic Operetta for everyone to enjoy."" The satirical and political elements of the show landed well on our audiences as we responded to current events, including the Iowa caucuses and the presidential campaign. Members of the cast relished performing in a broad and physical style and relating to an audience in an intimate outdoor setting. ""'m extremely proud of the show we put forth. It was like lightning in a bottle given how intense this election season has been. The opportunity to meet the angry zeitgeist of this season with a show that brings laughter to anyone was incredible and so fulfilling. The project itself of the picnic operetta encourages playfulness and imagination as a performer that I really loved learning to embrace. I think it all went quite smoothly."" Artistically, a few small holes remained unfilled during production, involving props and scenic painting. Our design did not fully take into account sufficient translations of the Italian text in the production. Many props were not created with materials durable enough to handle the outdoor conditions, including rain. Future planning with designers will take these needs into account. Set pieces and equipment used for touring were unreliable and involved a complicated set-up that took an inordinate amount of time. This included our flatbed trailer, which was used as a shelter for the band. This piece of equipment broke several times, welding needed repair and the tires on the trailer blew. This created some burn out for members of the production crew. 2016 was our 8th year presenting the Picnic Operetta. Most of the communities where we perform are very familiar with our work. We have a loyal following and dedicated outreach via our marketing staff and our host partners in each community. Our company values inclusivity and accessibility. Our reservation system is elective, with audiences using an on-line system and making voluntary contributions on-line. Audiences have offered positive feedback regarding their experience regarding this system. We do not turn anyone away at our production. However, we have noted from our post-performance evaluations, that our audience is consistently very white, middle aged and upper middle class. Nearly 500 audience members filled out our post performance survey. 48% of our audience stated that they were between 46 and 65 years old. 94% said they were white. 27% reported household incomes greater than $100,000. For 2017 we wanted to broaden our support and reach more young people. We did meet our goals of openness and and accessibility in the communities where we perform. Traditionally we get a mixed audience of people attending our show from within the community where we perform and people who travel to see our show at a specific venue. 30% addend the performance within their community. 26% reported that this was their first time seeing live opera. Our planning team has concluded that we need to do more specific outreach to group serving youth within the communities where we perform. In 2017 we are developing partnerships with Urban Roots on the East Side of St. Paul and Youth Farm in South Minneapolis, to buy vegetables and work with youth to develop menu items for 2017. We are also planning a performance in North Minneapolis for Project Success students and families. For 2017 we are adding a performance at a community garden in Powderhorn Park. Audience members responded positively to the accessible spirit of our performance. ""Favorite food was the cucumber! Love the energy of the performers, music, and the show's goal of more diverse and accessible opera."" ""Loved your cast! It is wonderful to be in a community that supports art and the outdoors.

Each program will be 15 weeks long (1 hour, weekly sessions) and will provide artistic programing for 15 adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Surveys of participants and their support staff members will show that 95% of respondents believe they had an opportunity to ""be heard"" artistically. To evaluate the programs, we will use a tool developed by Upstream Arts that measures the impact on arts learning and particip","During two 15-week sessions, 15 clients participated with only two clients overlapping. Staff members report greater participation in activities and willingness to try new things. They indicate a decrease by at least 50% of maladaptive behaviors. For example, Mike has a history of pulling staff member's hair, and In the ""Art of Social Skills,"" he has been learning positive ways to get attention. Achievement of artistic goals: For this grant, our goals for detailed that the clients would: Have high quality artistic experiences in a variety of disciplines; Express themselves through artistic forms of communication (self-expression); Positively and creatively interact with one another (social interaction); Have increased verbal and physical interactions with peers and staff; Collaboratively participate in the creative arts (cooperative learning); and exhibit fewer maladaptive behaviors. The artists from Upstream Arts brought many different disciplines with them: painting, non-verbal interactive play (e.g. an invisible ball), music, exploration of colors, body movements, and acting. This variety of artistic elements gave each of our participants an avenue to express themselves and learn about verbal and non-verbal communications. It is a beautiful thing when we see clients explore new ways of communicating, whether it is through the use of musical instruments, color, or by using their body. We have had considerable reports of less “maladaptive” behaviors from participants in the program; the Upstream Arts program has provided new avenues for self-expression and self-confidence. We have seen an increase in the interest of our non-verbal clients to interact with their staff. Our program area has drums, tambourines, and shakers. Many times throughout the day, we have clients lead staff members or peers to the instruments and engage in a “conversation” with the staff or a friend using these instruments. One of the favored activities by our clients has been collaborative art pieces. The artist brings a canvas and begins telling a story. Each participant takes a turn, choosing from a variety of colors to add to the canvas, deciding what they want to add to the canvas – e.g. a bold line, a squiggly circle, a thin square, or a rippling ribbon of color. Everyone takes great pride in the pieces they create together, or the stories they act out together! What worked or didn't work? What were strengths/challenges of the artistic process? Each session had a core group of participants. On any given week the group would only fluctuate if there was an absence that day. We know that keeping these core participants together built a feeling of camaraderie and trust between the participants and artist instructors. This trust helped clients move out of their comfort zones to try new things. The clients modeled the positive behavior of the Upstream artists by cheering for each other. Staff members have learned from the artists new techniques to engage their clients and also gained confidence to try new ways to communicate with non-verbal clients. Changes for future programing? In addition to ""Art of Social Skills,"" Upstream offers other programing that would be relevant for clients at Merrick, including ""the Art of Me"" and ""Art of Relationships."" We would be interested in offering these during our service day as well. Internally, we were sometimes surprised by individuals who expressed interest in participating in the program - clients who had not previously expressed interest in the arts, joined the group for an initial session and chose to keep going back each week. As we mentioned in our proposal, artists from Upstream are trained to assume ability and approached the clients with a fresh perspective of encouragement. The small groups and teams of artists gave each client an opportunity to be included and feel they were being ""heard."" Clients are asking when the artists will return!

Evaluations will show an increase in understanding the diversity of types of relationships and how to advocate for themselves in those relationships. Participation data will be collected. Pre and post program evaluations will be conducted with each participant and staff.","100% of participants indicated they understood the concept “my body belongs to me.” Open ended survey responses about what was learned include “take care of myself, healthy relationships,” ”boundaries, relationships, respecting others,” “my body belongs to me. Not to do things that make me uncomfortable. Saying no.” and “how to effectively communicate wants and needs. Sex, babies, birth control.” The artistic goals for this project were to: 1. Provide adults with disabilities with high artistic experiences in theater, music, dance, visual arts, and poetry; 2. Provide a safe and creative venue to practice appropriate communication (body language, tone of voice, facial expressions) and “rehearse” relationship interactions; 3. Develop communication skills that will empower participants to make informed choices, with the goal of increasing self-sufficiency and decreasing risk of abuse and negative health outcomes. Midwest Special Services participants experienced a variety of art mediums through The Art of Relationships- theater (rehearsing appropriate relationship interactions), music (creating songs with lyrics), visual arts (painting emotions), and poetry (creating group poems with everyone contributing). Participants and staff expressed in post surveys that Upstream created a safe space where individuals could go “outside their comfort zone”. Participants demonstrated communication skills around the topics of sex, relationships, personal space, etc. They demonstrated this by sharing the information with peers who were not a part of the program- they were empowered by the information. When asked what they learned during the program some participant responses included “I had fun. Learned about personal space/""bubble."" The importance of communication and working together,” and “relationships, sex, communication, boundaries. Taking safe risks.” Using art as a vehicle to relay this type of sensitive information to learners who may not be familiar worked well and was definitely a strength. It fostered an openness within the group and allowed participants some freedom in how they participated. Yes- this program successfully reached the intended community- adults with disabilities and their staff. 100% of the participants were adults with disabilities who attend Midwest Special Services. All of Upstream Arts’ programs are designed for groups with a range of abilities, and Upstream Arts artists have experience addressing the differing needs related to certain types of disabilities, and creating an environment inclusive of all individuals. Adapted tools and techniques were used to enhance the participation of non-verbal individuals; adaptive art supplies for those with limited mobility were used, as well as visual aids. Our goal for making this project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate was met by opening the program up to men. Previously Upstream Arts held an Art of Relationships program at Midwest Special Services that was only for women. This program was open to individuals of any gender identity and the program and group as a whole benefitted from the range in perspectives. This effort resulted in greater diversity of participants within the program and increased diversity in the topics covered in the program.",,5335,"Other, local or private",15335,,"James Clapper, Kelly Chase, Jeff Betchwars, Jane Miller, Lois McCray, Tom Lyman, Harry Hansen, Bobbi Hopman, Dan Ryan, Mark Novitzki, Jenni Taylor, Lynn Schmidt",0.00,"Midwest Special Services, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the Art of Relationships program, a partnership with Upstream Arts that uses theater, poetry, music, and visual arts to help adults with disabilities make informed choices about relationships and sex education.

Our success was above and beyond our goals. The concert itself attracted more than 1200 audience from the local Chinese community. In addition, the project involved three guest artists from Chicago. As for serving the second community: students and Americans who are interested in Chinese culture. The concert attracted about 250 students and non-Chinese spectators. We also had one American student serving as the Masters of Ceremony for the concert; Chinese and American audiences were really impressed with his Chinese language skill and understanding of Chinese culture. The singing performance given by guest artists: Mr. Tong Tao (Tenor), Ms. Vanessa Liao (Soprano), and Ms. Amy C. Youngquist (Mezzo-soprano) was another success story. They received many rounds of applause and cheers from audience. As for the third community the concert intended to serve, the senior Chinese community, we were told by many of them that the songs we chose really brought back their memory and touched their hearts. Compared to our previous production concerts, our efforts in reaching out to the senior Chinese had enhanced our relationship with the senior Chinese community. Their input and guidance had definitely helped us to accurately re-stage the vocal arts and styles of the Chinese Modern Era (1920s – 1940s).",,20500,"Other, local or private",30500,,"John Zhang, Sophie Liu, Nancy Tang, Mary Wei, David Hsu",0.00,"Minhua Chorus","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Forgotten Treasures, a full-length concert featuring Chinese Popular Songs and Art Songs from the Modern Era that were banned due to political censorship between 1949 and 1978.

Our evaluation plan includes providing surveys to all who attend the Twin Cities Book Festival in the exhibit hall and at the readings in the Fine Arts building; as well, we will pass out raffle tickets for attendees to enter a free raffle, which allows us to get a general count of attendance, gain some demographic information, and capture emails in order to send out a more thorough post-Festival survey. All exhibitors will also receive surveys after the Festival to gauge their success that day, as will presenting authors and participants, who will give feedback about their Festival experience.","6000 attended, with 287 authors participating. Readings attracted over 1500 audience members. The Book Fair featured 142 exhibitors. 85% attendees rated the event a 4 or 5 (scale of 1 to 5), and 99% said they plan to attend future Festivals. 47% experienced the Festival for the first time. 49% stayed for 1-2 hours, while 36% stayed 3+ hours. Most exhibitors made $100-$1500 and liked the community. Rain Taxi successfully staged the 2016 Twin Cities Book Festival on October 15 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, drawing over 6000 booklovers to the day-long celebration that includes a book fair, readings and signings, and activities for all ages. The Festival kicked off Friday with an opening night party and talk by Kathryn Aalto, on The Natural World of Winnie-the-Pooh. Saturday started off with a bang with a Morning Mingle—over 30 local poets, novelists, and more met with Festival attendees and signed books. Minglers included John Coy, Allen Eskens, Chris Monroe, Faith Sullivan, and Marlon James. Throughout the day, thousands thronged the exhibit hall to peruse nearly 150 publishers, literary orgs, magazines, authors, and more who presented books, author signings, giveaways, deals, and fun all day long. Folks of all ages helped create a giant collage in celebration of 100 years of Dada and tried their hand at a bicycle-driven letter press, creating postcard-sized broadsides. The Children’s Pavilion featured STEM-based activities, along with readings by local authors/rockers Stephen and Trisha Speed Shaskan, and Kare11’s meteorologist Belinda Jensen. Visiting illustrators Philip C and Erin E Stead joined author Michelle Cuevas in presenting their picture books. Youth programming featured Minnesota authors Abby Cooper, Brian Farrey, Kelly Barnhill, Shannon Gibney, and Lara Avery; visiting authors included Stuart Gibbs, Sarah Mlynowski, MA Larson, AS King, and Kathleen Glasgow. Adult presentations in the Fine Arts building included Minnesota authors Stephanie Wilbur Ash, Jason Good, Geoff Herbach, John Jodzio, Mary Mack, Ray Gonzalez, and Charles Baxter. Visiting authors included poets Michael Waters and Janice N. Harrington, comics artist Eddie Campbell, novelists Francine Prose, Lidija Dimkovska, Derek Palacio, and Karan Mahajan, and comedian Phoebe Robinson. One challenge we faced was budgetary. While Rain Taxi won a general operating grant from the State Arts Board, this disqualified us from receiving a Minnesota State Arts Board grant that directly fueled our Festival. Our Board applied to many local businesses for co-sponsorships, but were rejected. We also lost our Metropolitan Library Service Agency partner and co-sponsorship, as they had a retraction in legacy funds. We ended up revamping our exhibitor table fees, offering some premier exhibitor spaces and sponsoring exhibitor options that carried a larger price tag. Even with these increased prices, the Festival is a bargain compared to many across the country—our tables sold out swiftly. We also scaled back on publicity expenses, spending more on digital and targeted advertising. We continue to struggle with the Fairgrounds over having enough food vendors, and received many complaints from attendees. The Fairgrounds didn’t notify us until a week before that we had no inside food vendor and only one outside vendor. We will explore other venues, but so far, the Fairgrounds are affordable and offer enough space and parking. The Twin Cities Book Festival brought together a diverse array of audience, participants, and artists—all book enthusiasts who enjoy celebrating the written word in an energetic and fun setting. The Festival featured a diverse array of presenting authors from many different genres and interests, including African American comedian and podcaster Phoebe Robinson who spoke to a standing-room only audience about her feminist-inflected book You Can’t Touch My Hair. She attracted a wildly diverse audience as to race and age and gender, and her talk was ASL interpreted. The Canadian showcase was also quite diverse, with African Canadian novelist André Alexis and poet Fred Wah, who is part Chinese. Our international authors showcase, The Personal and the Political, featured Indian author Karan Mahajan, Yugoslavian writer Lidija Dimkovska, and Cuban Derek Palacio. Eight of the nine events were ASL interpreted. Exhibitors included publishers, magazines, arts organizations, and more, including Mizna, Button Poetry, Twin Cities Sisters in Crime, Green Card Voices, Minnesota Literacy Council, and more with appeal to book-lovers of all kinds and ages. The venue at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds is ADA accessible, and the spacious Progress Center allowed for plenty of room for navigating wheelchairs and strollers. The Festival engaged people of all ages and backgrounds. Our attendee survey revealed that for 47% of respondents, it was their first one. The rest had returned 2 to 4 times. Most were attracted either by a featured author or the book fair. And 90% spent at least $16 or more at the Festival.

We will use a post-only retrospective survey of participants at/near the end of the project to ascertain what they learned, and how important they thought it was to them.","We had 40 people who participated in the beading sessions at least once, and another 30 people who attended the final celebratory event. About eighteen of the participants were able to successfully finish their pieces. The majority of the participants were Native American, which was our target audience. The age range of the participants went from 12 to 70; most were women, but there were a handful of young men as well. There was a great deal of tribal diversity among participants, including people from the different Ojibwe bands in Minnesota, Lakota and Dakota Sioux, Ho-Chunk, and Potawatomi Nations. We had a number of non-Natives as well, including people who identified as European American/White or African American. A quarter of the participants had no previous beading experience. Two thirds had “some experience,” and only one person rated themselves a “fairly experienced in beadwork,” so the classes had a nice mix of rookies to those with some background. This turned out to be helpful because some of the groups were pretty big, and with only two or three instructors/coaches, the participants helped each other. The social element of the classes was one aspect they liked the most about the project—being able to sit around the table, working on their projects, and talking: the time spent with community while completing my project; the people, welcoming environment, tested my patience which was very good for me, knowledge of the instructors; it has been a nice little escape for me, and its motivated me to start beading at home; So much time to sit and practice and be creative. My life is stressful and its very therapeutic; it’s a great place to work, staff was helpful and understanding; people actually talked and had fun; gathering, socializing, native music (when available); beading and gossiping. Projects like this are especially important to Native Americans, who have experienced historical trauma, including separations from their families, culture and identities. This came out in the comments of participants as well: “Nokomis (grandmother) did beadwork on a loom, so I always told myself I would one day try it. As I was beading my tulips, I felt that much closer to a woman who made such as positive impact on my life,” and “Greater connection to my culture that I have only just begun to learn about due to not knowing about it while growing up. Thank you for that opportunity.” The beading workshops were held in the Gallery which is on the main floor of the Indian Center, so was easy to get to for people with mobility challenges. All of the supplies were provided through the project, which helped many of the low-income people overcome barriers to participate in this art form. Participants completed beading projects and reported feeling a great sense of accomplishment and community, as noted by half of the participants. 75% of participants said their skills increased and 75% noted they learned more about Ojibwe culture, history and traditions.",,3551,"Other, local or private",12351,,"Sam Olbekson, Mark Erickson, Valerie Larsen, Gerald Auginash, Richard Masur, Cecilia Martinez, Dawn Paro",0.00,"Minneapolis American Indian Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for activities focused on Ojibwe beadwork, including workshops, field trips, and a final exhibition.

Participants, coaches, and audience were as outlined in the proposal. Southwest High School orchestra received 40 hours of sectional coaching sessions for strings. Two Southwest High School orchestras received a total of 20 hours of string instrument coaching, and 3 bands received a total of 16 hours for woodwinds and brass. Summer Kids Play reached our intended participants, although not as many as we had hoped for. 12 coaches worked with 22 students last summer for 3 sectionals and a full student orchestra rehearsal. Diversity in both School-year and Summer Kids Play reflected the diversity in the school ensembles. South High School Orchestra: 2 orchestras, 24 and 28 students each.

The student members will perform concert, Folk Dance of China, on January 15, 2017 in Brady Educational Center, University of Saint Thomas. 350 audience members are expected to attend and enjoy the concert, Folk Dances of China, while appreciate the vast styles, techniques, and presentations of Chinese Folk Dances. An after-concert evaluation will be conducted on February 9, 2017 by Ms. Cui Tianjiang and Ms. Geli Sun with input from audience surveys, members’ feedback, and newspaper articles.","The most significant outcome of this project is that Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has increased its audience members. The annual concert drew more people than last year. The outreach programs had doubled last year's due to the large crowd in Mall of America. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater will focus on this opportunity next year and develop strategy to maximize the audience it can attract. -Yes, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has achieved the artistic goals of presenting its annual concert, Colorful Yunnan, on December 4, 2016 at Brady Educational center in University of Saint Thomas. Nine dances which represented Mongolian, Tibetan, Korean (northeast region of China), and 6 distinct Yunnan tribes (Dai, Yi, Jinpo, Mosuo, Bai and Zhuang) were showcased. Audience members commented on how colorful those varieties were! Each dance was unique and stylish. Together, they dazzled the audience. After the annual concert, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater repeated some of the most popular dances in different outreach concerts. On January 28, 2017, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater performed in Mall of America for the TwinCities Chinese New Year celebration. On February 4 and 5, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater performed in Student Center in U of M for, again, Chinese New Year celebration, organized by U of M Chinese students. On February 12, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater performed in University of Saint Thomas Asian Student Association. In each outreach concert, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater received enthusiastic responds for its cultural and ethnic dances which were rarely seen outside of China. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has successfully reached its mission of bringing the world of Chinese dance and Chinese culture to the public and providing access to this art and promoting the art through the passion of its members. By presenting a variety of Chinese ethnic dances with authentic costumes and music, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has become one of the most regarded cultural organizations. Many organizations invite Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater to perform at the cultural events. Some even collaborated with Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater in its 2016 annual concert: Xu Qian Music Center Chorus and Mr. Ying Zhang, a traditional Chinese musical instrument soloist. The Chorus performed songs that augmented Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dances and allowed Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dancers to change their costumers for the next dance. Mr. Ying Zhang delighted the audience by playing a rare Chinese castanets solo using ""Radetzky March,"" a fusion performance of the east and the west! However, some audience members commented that the musical performances were ""boring."" They said they would rather wait for Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dancers to be ready for the next dance than watching the musical performances. To rectify the audience's comments regarding added musical performances, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater will split the dancers into two groups. Each group will alternate; Group A will perform dance 1, 3, 5, 7... while Group B will performance dance 2, 4, 6, 8... thus the musical performances wouldn't be needed. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has successfully reached its intended community. The annual concert drew over 380 audience members which comprised of 62% Asian, 30% Caucasian, 4% Black, 3% Hispanic, and others. The outreach activities were attended by over 1,000 people! Yes, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater's outreach effort in Mall of America on January 28, 2017 had attracted many audience members who had never seen Chinese dance before. They commented on how beautiful the dances were and they subscribed to Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater email list to receive future performance info. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has achieved its goals for making Chinese dance accessible to all by performing in varies cultural events. The outreach concerts were all free and audience members can subscribe to Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater email list to receive future performance info or visit website.

During the production phase, we will survey the production team using a short series of fill-in-the-blank questions, e.g., “I’m worried that ________ will be the least effective part of the spoken word series,” following up when necessary with brief 1-on-1 phone interviews. Directly after the screening, we will collect audience reactions using a one-to-ten scale to determine our Net Promoter Score regarding the event, and on the Monday following the screening, we will collect poet and filmmaker reactions using a 5-question participation survey; we'll also track YouTube hits and social media activity for the online releases.","100% of our artists reported a desire to work with Motionpoems again. All of our three institutional partners reported a desire to work with Motionpoems again. Two of our five poets have either taken up film classes of their own or initiated another film project after engaging with this project. All but three of our artists came to the premiere at IFP Minnesota (those three were out of town). All artistic goals were met. We hired E. G. Bailey as our Guest Producer, solicited poems from the local spoken word community with help from several activists in that community, recruited filmmakers, negotiated contracts with all artists, completed all films on time, screened them all publicly at the Walker Art Center and IFP Minnesota, paid all artists, and evaluated our programming as planned. We are always re-tooling our production model, changing up our partnerships, exploring new ways of working. This project was a first for Motionpoems in that we haven’t yet turned our attentions on the spoken word poetry community, and we were grateful for the opportunity to do that. Motionpoems is a national organization, drawing poets and filmmakers from around the world, and this project allowed us to focus some attention on our local community of artists and serve artists here. We found the community receptive and enthusiastic. Poet Kevin Yang loved his project, mainly for the way film reimagined his poem; he’s talking about getting into filmmaking classes at Saint Paul Neighborhood Network now. Poet Louis Alemayehu liked his film despite early trepidation. Poet Blythe Baird liked how Valerie took her film to the Women’s March, a film that broadly interpreted her poem; she initiated another film project on her own after engaging with us. Poet Dessa Wander was thrilled with her film, a highly stylized Coen-esque reimagining that took audiences by surprise. Filmmakers reported favorably as well. One liked “how much creative freedom I had. I also enjoyed talking to the poet a lot about her work and what we planned on doing. Also, in creating the piece, how intense it was working with only women in front of the camera! It had a different energy or vibe.” Another: “Being able to explore and being able to just step out of my narrative filmmaking style truly allowed this project to challenge me... which I really like and enjoyed. The experience was definitely worth it and the diverse cast of poets and filmmakers was incredible!”All artists reported in surveys that their completed film would help them in their careers. “It’s a great showcase of my film archiving work and reinterpretation of history,” wrote one. Two said they would submit their film to film festivals. Said another: “It allows me to have a more diverse video work to show to my clients or recruiters looking to hire me for my work, as Motion Poem truly allowed us to experiment and have full control of production.” Yet another: “I will use it on grants, promotional material, and as an inspiration to create more work/collaborate across mediums.” We successfully reached our intended community. We had no particular audience demographics in mind, fully aware that the spoken word community is extremely diverse, but we did stress the importance of diversity in the selection of our filmmakers, which in the end skewed female and minority. Open calls for poets insured that everyone connected to the Loft’s spoken word community or the local slam teams knew about the opportunity. Our partnerships with Button Poetry, The Loft Literary Center and IFP Minnesota assured broad notification and awareness. Attendance at our events is always free and publicity was supported by The Walker, Button, The Loft, and IFP Minnesota. Since one spoken word film was completed early (October), we included it in our annual Motionpoems premiere at the Walker which was produced in partnership with Cave Canem, “a home for black poetry” in Brooklyn, New York.

The fall performance saw x audience participants (x first time attendee), the winter performance saw x audience participants (x first time attendee) and the summer performance saw x audience participants (x first time attendee). For this project, we proudly achieved our goal to present three meaningful, thematic choral programs for our audience. We were particularly successful in our projected ticket sales. Sales for both ""Cuentamé un cuento"" and ""imPulse Happy Hour"" sold out. Our collaborative process with ComMUSICation, our storyteller for ""Cuentamé,"" and our experience with In the Heart of the Beast added to the creative process. Our project shined in its diverse audience and venues. Our July performance proved to be our most racially diverse so far, and the Phillips Neighborhood got closely involved. Our greatest challenge was our experience with Lake Monster. While or most popular performance, our verbal agreement for use of the space did not translate to the actual performance. Expectations for use of the space on both sides were misread, which affected the success of the venue itself (noise level, beverage service, and chair set-up for audience. One important change that we would adopt that we have now established is to enter into a written agreement with our partners and venues, since many of the venues we work with are not accustomed to working with a choral or performing ensemble. MPLS (imPulse) audience members are diverse in age (18-65) but are predominantly Caucasian Twin Cities residents. MPLS (imPulse) presents mostly secular music in a choral community where sacred music is predominantly performed and supported, which provides opportunities for diversified concert repertoire and thematic programming. Performing this music in secular spaces also eliminates potential barriers of participation from the non-religious or people of different faiths. By creating a welcoming environment, we reach audiences that may be overlooked. Through this project, MPLS(imPulse) successfully reached its intended audiences and expanded further. Each performance was deeply rooted in the community and additional opportunities came to the forefront as the projects developed with our community partners. The fall performance increased our reach to child and family audiences in St. Paul through the collaboration with ComMUSICation. Our summer performance with In the Heart of the Beast connected MPLS(imPulse) with new audiences in the south Minneapolis viewing the performance on stage, but also allowed the neighborhood to watched from their front doors as the choir marched by on their way to the river to release their lanterns.

We will be able to better compensate our artists, and also better tell their stories and share their exclusive, world-caliber insights with more people in concerts as well as online. We will track the growth in audience sizes both in our regular Sundin series as well as at new venues. We will survey audiences at least one regular series concert and one runout event to track how effective our programming is at reaching the goals outlined in the grant narrative.","The biggest outcomes for The Musical Offering over the last season relate to the seriousness with which the company has to approach its operations. First, we've seen audiences respond to being engaged by intellectual content via video - wicked popular online, and right. Second, we are forced to develop a plan to sustain our annual funding needs through sustained donor development. Over this past season, The Musical Offering focused on the works of migrant composers who traveled to Paris, a season that began in the wake of the November 2015 attacks and ended up concluding in an atmosphere of increased social and political tension. This was an opportunity for the ensemble to do two things: first, we raised the level of awareness our audience had about the density and frequency of migrant composers - canonical names like Prokofiev and Copland aren't often recognized that way. Since conversation is wound into The Musical Offering's concerts through intermission interviews and intentional post-concert discussions, we found audiences resonating with this theme regardless of their political views, a recognition of music as an international, cross-cultural phenomenon that is enriched by the intersection of nationalities. The second opportunity The Musical Offering has focused on during this time is the experience of listening to live chamber music itself and the positive physiological effects that come from attending concerts. The time of peaceful, restful contemplation of complex, diverse, and richly beautiful music is an undeniable refuge for our audience and our musicians in this time of social and political crisis. In terms of tangible evidence of these artistic goals, we've had strong metrics from our concerts to support these claims. We always survey our audience at least twice a year (and at least once post-concert), and again this year we found audiences unanimously agree that the quality of music is world-class, ""as good as one could expect anywhere in Europe or America."" We also found again this year that first-time attendees are most likely to express that their experience was so positive that it both exceeded their expectations and encouraged them to attend again (and bring friends). Our core ensemble musicians also attest that the artistic direction of the group is strong and the musical quality high. One strong piece of evidence for this is their willingness to be recorded and observed throughout the rehearsal process, primarily through videos that our Executive Director created in advance of performances for promotion and educational purposes. Rehearsals are not necessarily pretty, glamorous, and commonly in other ensembles it can be a time of tension and conflict - but not for The Musical Offering's ensemble, the magic 'secret sauce' that keeps The Musical Offering at the top of its game. The Musical Offering had both successes and missed opportunities in its 2016-2017 season in terms of audience engagement. At the beginning of the season, The Musical Offering was poised to repeat every concert in at least once additional venue throughout the year, building community relationships and visibility that we hope will continue to increase our subscriber and patron base in the long term. For instance, in October 2017 The Musical Offering repeated selections from its season opener at the Bakken Museum, returning to that venue after over 20 years. The venue had a long-standing relationship to The Musical Offering prior to the mid 90's, so it was an opportunity for us to rebuild those bridges and increase our presence on the Minneapolis side of the river. Our audience skewed much younger for that concert - exactly what we had outlined and intended, even letting us engage young professionals groups and other pockets of the next generation that has been sorely desired in our seats for years. Ultimately, this season saw an increase in audience size, culminating with the season finale concert of Appalachian Spring, which was our largest audience size in years, including a tourist group from France. However, The Musical Offering fell short of its goals in that we were not able to repeat our two 2017 concerts in additional venues. This is directly tied to an unforeseen outcome of expanding the number of concerts in our season: personal personnel conflicts among decades-old stakeholders in the organization. Short of revealing identities, a retired member of the ensemble was taken aback by not being the first choice to substitute in for a free hour-long public concert at Centennial Lakes park in Edina, but because of his stake and long-standing connections in the organization, we ended up losing about 50% of our contributed revenue for the season when he, his spouse, and their close network of supporters pulled their regular sponsorship-level gifts. This created many levels of challenges for The Musical Offering over the course of its last season, but it is leading to a future of more sustainable operations. We had to have serious conversations about interpersonal expectations while completely readjusting how we raise money from our donor base. Fortunately, the board of directors has taken this task very seriously, and we are currently working with outstanding fundraising and nonprofit management consultants pro bono to create a more robust development portfolio for the upcoming seasons. We are also planning much more aggressive marketing tactics for our upcoming season that will for the first time in years let us reach every one of our core supporters individually through phone calls and meetings.",,51680,"Other, local or private",61680,,"Jack Bryce, Susan Billmeyer, Dorothy Delegard, Don Davis, Caroline Lemen, Jerry Luckhardt, Pam McNulty, Norbert Nielubowski, Susan Ripley, Michael Landrum",0.00,"The Musical Offering","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 46th season featuring four concerts focused on immigration and chamber music.

Although the selection process is rigorous and participants must have demonstrable skills in writing or composition, no experience in creating for music-theater is necessary. Indeed, part of the Studio’s success in the past has been to introduce the artform to artists who would otherwise not consider it a viable outlet for theatrical or musical expression. The Studio is designed to include both emerging and established artists, who tend to interact with each other with gusto: the emerging artists learn from the established artists, and the established artists gain access to “beginner’s mind”. We cast a wide net across the Twin Cities’ arts community, and since we are especially interested in nurturing artists who may not think of themselves as traditional writers or composers, we contact a wide variety of performing arts organizations for suggestions for possible participants. In this case, we successfully reached our target community. We had 5 established artists, and 10 emerging artists; 2 artists of color, 5 female artists, and 1 transgender artist. Our selection process is rigorous, as the evaluation panel consists of previous participants who know the program, and the two directors. We were very pleased with the mix of participants.

(Vocational Immersion Program) will participate in the customized eight week residency ""The Art of Working"" every Monday morning at a community location in Hopkins. Participants will gain tools to help in development of their “soft skills” with a focus on their gaining a better understanding of their power, consequences of their actions, and how to communicate effectively with those around them, as they demonstrate a willingness to perform in fron","As noted above, 100% of those surveyed indicated that the project had a positive impact. Much of the credit goes to the teaching artists from Upstream Arts as they, with support from PRI staffers, were able to draw each participant into the activities while respecting their choice to do so at the level most comfortable for them. Each participant gained skills for success they can use every day. The goals of the project were to remove barriers to access for 15 adults with disabilities so they could participate in a high quality artistic experience, in a safe and accessible venue, that employed multidisciplinary activities providing engaging ways to practice appropriate communications (body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, etc.) and “rehearse” workplace interactions while developing the soft skills that can increase employability and work readiness. The artistic goals of Partnership Resources service recipients, staff participants, and teaching artists were reached over the 8 week project period. Reaching goals such as self-awareness, ability to focus, cooperation, effective communication, positive attitude, being a team player, flexibility, and accepting feedback were different for everyone. Goals were achieved to varying degrees, but the overall assessment was that the project was both enjoyable and successful. The variances related to each individual's goal achievement is attributable more to the person's abilities than any shortcoming of the artistic process. While the scale of improvement achieved ranged from slight to significant, all answered ""yes"" to the question ""Do you think the program has a positive impact on this individual?"" One of the most significant strengths of the artistic process relating to ""The Art of Working"" program was the support of the teaching artists along with Partnership Resources staff support, which gave participants the confidence to go outside their comfort zone and participate in front of their peers. The only thing that would be changed, should the opportunity to repeat the same or similar project occur, would be to have at least two more sessions in order to give participants either more time to get comfortable or to improve skills at an even higher level. It seemed that those who were inclined to participate in group activities experienced more success than those who tended to be a bit more shy and the additional sessions might be enough to get the more reticent participants to get to the next level of success or skill improvement. The community served by this project and the population benefitting was consistent with what was described in the proposal as submitted. Having the project activities at the Hopkins Pavilion brought diverse groups of people together as it included Upstream Arts teaching artists, a group of adults with disabilities, and Partnership Resources Direct Support Professionals in the increasingly diverse community of Hopkins, Minnesota. The Pavilion staff and members of the public who shared the community resource with these groups during the project period fostered diversity through their daily interactions. The goal of making the project open and accessible, while considering the safety and welfare of Partnership Resources' service recipients as we are committed to do, was achieved primarily through the Regional Arts Council funding as it removed the financial barriers to access for project participants. The project being open and accessible was also achieved through Partnership Resources' ability to choose its community arts partner, Upstream Arts, and a venue that was easily accessed by project participants. This allowed Partnership Resources to design and execute the project so that it made for a safe, productive, and fun way to gain skills that can help the individuals engaged be confident contributing members of the community.",,1862,"Other, local or private",5585,,"Lisa Benrud, Michael Blaes, Fred Borstad, Jeffrey Ericson, Kevin Hofman, Robert A.

Additionally the project was accessible as the assistant art instructor during the project period was Partnership Resources' primary art instructor, Candice Simpson, which helped ease the transition to working with a new instructor, James Holmberg, who served as the project's lead instructor.

The organization will continue its tradition of providing performance and professionalization opportunities for an array of at least 100 artists of diverse backgrounds during the project period. We will track artist participation and demographic details, audience size, ticket sales, and other financial data, to ensure we are meeting our mission and sustaining the organization. We provide formal and informal opportunities for project staff and artists/audiences to evaluate the project qualitatively.","During the 2016 Fall and 2017 Spring Seasons, Patrick’s Cabaret produced 9 distinct Mainstage Cabaret events, 19 evenings of performances total, reaching nearly 1000 audience members. The Cabaret programs served a diverse community of 148 artists to present their own short-form work, including significant proportions of artists of color, with disabilities, and with queer and trans identities. Despite a year of great challenge, we did reach a number of goals, artistically and operationally, in our first year as a newly mobile organization. We produced fewer evenings of Cabaret performances than expected, producing 9 rather than the 12 distinct events we expected to produce, resulting in 19 rather than the 24 evenings we anticipated. We did produce annual returning platforms Anything But English, and CabarABLE, and even created three new annual platforms that will return in 2017 and 2018 (Lighting Rod, Controlled Burn, and My Horrifying Holiday). Our primary challenge was the wider organizational crisis of losing our building, and the subsequent loss of funding and audience. We were unsure about what our new mobile orientation would do to our business model, project costs, and results, so the 2016 Fall and 2017 Spring Seasons became laboratories to test what worked and what didn’t. We have scaled our activities to what the current staffing level can afford, which is approximately 8-10 Cabaret events in a 12-month period, which we have now newly branded our “Mainstage” Cabarets. We have also shifted to an all-Curator model, where external Curators put together Cabaret line-ups and serve as the primary community-builders of Patrick’s Cabaret’s most public program. We have continued to adapt the Mainstage Cabaret program, and are making continuous improvement. As stated, we have moved to a Curator-driven model, which will not reduce the amount of energy we spend on producing event, but will diversify participants (in the broadest sense of the word), and strengthen the pipeline of engagement of new people in our activities. We also are working to improve how we plug Cabaret participants into other parts of our programming. Overall, the core spirit of the Cabaret program initiated in 1986 continues on today, supporting the growth of artists by making the space for them to generate art that is often discouraged, quieted, censored, or (perhaps most tragically) never even considered possible in the first place. We carefully track the number and demographics of artists we engage, serving as the primary quantitative measures of our activities, and we did a good job of maintaining these records. In our proposal, we expected to engage 250 artists, and 2500 adult participants (audiences), which was based on numbers from our previous seasons’ statistics. In the end, with our programming reduced slightly, and with a significant loss of our previous audience, we supported a (still impressive) 148 artists, and attracted 952 audience members. While our footprint was reduced, we remain one of the organizations in town serving a relatively large number of artists in each annual cycle, and are unique in that we support artists presenting their own work, as much on their own terms as we can. During these seasons, the Cabarets provided an effective and impactful platform for artists to create new work, and we continue to strive to center our programs on serving artists of color, with disabilities, and with queer and trans identities. Unfortunately our programming statistics from this newly mobile period did not live up to the statistics from 2015 across the board, with a slight reduction in the percentages of people of color (-18%) and women (-15%), but did see growth in the percentages of queer artists (+21%), transgender artists (+17%), artists with disabilities (+6%), and emerging artists (+22%). Overall, our statistics still show a diverse community, well above the demographic averages for the state of Minnesota. We expect that adopting the Curator-driven model will further increase diversity, especially racial diversity. As we have sought out venues, we have made it important that they are as accessible as possible. All Cabaret performances were produced at venues where BOTH the audience areas and the stage are fully accessible to wheelchairs. It is unfortunately extremely uncommon for stages to be accessible to wheelchairs, which greatly reduces our options for venues. One venue (Intermedia Arts) also has a fragrance free restroom. We provided ASL interpretation and Audio Description at multiple performances, but unfortunately did not have many users of these services. We expect that the challenges of audiences following us to new venues is particularly difficult for audiences with disabilities.",,54705,"Other, local or private",64705,,"Peter Foster, Lisa Brimmer, Howard Lieberman, Paul Nemeth, Tom Cassidy",0.00,"Patrick's Cabaret","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce the 2016 Fall and 2017 Spring Season Cabaret events, including Concept Cabarets, Open Call Cabarets, and Guest Curated Cabarets.

The second, and perhaps, as important outcome, was that 30 youth were able to meet mentors and have a vision of what they can become in the future. The last important outcome was that we gained 12 key community leaders that aim to continue involvement with youth and educate them on community leadership. Did you achieve your artistic goals? The artistic goals of the project were to provide a platform for youth to discuss and welcome diversity as a life skill, and further, to empower the youth as leaders of diversity and engage the audiences. We accomplished this by providing 30 youth with the opportunity to explore the history of south Minneapolis neighborhood they live in and understand changes that have happened over the decades. Including about a dozen well-known community leaders, we accomplished this with a real pizzazz. What worked? What didn’t work? What were the strengths/challenges of your artistic process? Because we were unable to have Pancho Demmings as the host theater guide, we had to find other known personalities to support the youth and act as mentors in the program. We decided to change the approach (as we communicated, this also meant that we were postponing the performance from Summer 2016 to Spring 2017). In early 2016, we created a Community Room that highlighted famous area residents. Sharon Sayles Belton, Judge Pamela Alexander, Judge LaJuene Lange, Senator Jeff Hayden, Civil Rights Activist Rosita Blach and William Glanton took to the stage to join youth. What, if anything, would you do differently if you had the opportunity to repeat a similar project? We would do this same project again because both the youth and the adults were so greatly impacted. The adults loved that they were such heroes to the youth. The youth felt that these individuals were the highlight of the show and afterward, said ""I'm going to be a judge when I grow up, I'm going to be a police officer, mayor, etc. If we did anything more, we would involve more adults and more youth as pairs. The concept of our play became that a youth would portray the public figure (for example, Sharon Sayles Belton, Pam Alexander, Jeff Hayden) when they were a youth growing up in South Minneapolis, and then, the real person would come out and talk about diversity, opportunity, and challenges in the neighborhood as it was in the past and currently. Did you successfully reach your intended community (i.e. audience, participants, artists, etc.), If not, why? Yes, we were able to include about 30 youth and 12 community leaders. We had scheduled the play practices so that we could include area programs like the Boys and Girls Club and students from Richard Green, but those programs decided not to participate, so we only had 30. To counter this, we opened it up to after school programs in our buildings and had some involvement there. In the above section, if the estimated Population(s) Benefiting was different than the actual Population(s) Benefitting, please explain why. The youth were impacted, as originally proposed. The youth were greatly impacted by being mentored by key community leaders including first female African American Mayor of Minneapolis, Sharon Sayles Belton. Famous lawyers and senators were there to discuss with youth, and youth really saw that they can become something great. Did your outreach efforts result in community diversity? If not, what would you do differently in the future? Yes, Sabathani Community Center represents community diversity. Not only did we have key African American leaders, but we had key Latino Civil Rights Activist Rosita Blach. We had tried to include key Somali leaders, but were unable to get the buy in we needed for the performance schedule. In what ways did you meet your goals for making your project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate? We put out fliers about the Community Showcase to share with The Boys and Girls Club, Richard Green Elementary, and Hosmer Library. They were invited to be involved and we created a schedule so that Boys and Girls club youth could join us.",,8153,"Other, local or private",18153,,"Stefan Miller, Katie Pfeifer, John Beam, Tessa Mielke, Cindy Booke, James Burrough II, Carolyn Henry, Jay Isenberg, Clarence Jones, Jason Justus, Ederick Lokpez, Cora McNeil, Lean Milojevic",0.00,"Sabathani Community Center, Inc.

Average attendance was 23 with the memoir class being the smallest and the puppet class being the largest. Only two of the attendees were below the poverty line. In addition to our mostly Caucasian residents, we had 3 African Americans, 2 Native Americans, 1 Hispanic and 1 East Asian. Trying to invite everyone, we posted a large colorful poster provided to us by COMPAS in the bulletin window by the front desk and another in the elevator, we made smaller flyers that were posted throughout the building, the activities were listed on the daily sheets given to residents and we included the announcement on the white boards which are by each nursing station and are updated daily. We also personally invited residents and they were announced each morning. We encouraged all regardless of their ethnic diversity. The diversity of our entire population was represented in the programs we offered. Our volunteers also, were a mixture of diversity, not only ethnic but in age as well. One of the high school students wants to follow in Anne Krocak's steps and has come back to Redeemer several times with other high school friends to do more art with our residents on week-ends! It was great to hear the students say how much they learned from the residents. I had not expected that the community we touched would expand to have such an influence on our young people. A celebration was planned at the conclusion of each art learning experience. The greatest of these was the chance to load our residents in our bus and take them to a real live stage at Bryant Bowl to share their memoir stories. The audience including many from the Uptown Community, was supportive and encouraging. We went early enough so residents could eat at the Bryant Lake Cafe which made the evening extra special for them. We did go over ahead of time to check out accessibility and had to change the stage a bit to accommodate the wheelchairs. Everything done in our building is totally accessible. The other proud moment for the residents was their puppet show. The wonderful high school helpers were behind the curtain with their resident to hold up their arm so the puppet could be seen. One lady in introducing her puppet said ""My name is Helga Jorgenson and I am from Sweden and I like coffee with a lot of cream. You'd love Sweden so come over and visit."" All of it was said in a Swedish accent! One puppet, the Cookie Monster, made by a resident that is quite reserved, become a funny, outgoing character as he took on the role of his puppet. One lady could only say the name of her puppet, but Christopher, our teacher, would say, ""Gertie is a little shy but she likes to dance!"" He played on his guitar and with the student's help, Gertie danced! Residents love their puppets!

Participant surveys will show that our cast of at least 40 participants (both youth and adults) will evaluate the experience positively. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes with audience/participant count and surveys. We will also gather post-performance feedback from email, Facebook, and an in-person post-production meeting open to our community.","We had 958 people attend. We had 39 cast members. We had over 50 volunteers. Audience surveys, Facebook comments, and comments during our post-production meeting showed that our audience was happy with our production. Our goal with our production of Jungle Book is to continue to grow our increasing fan base and provide a high quality theatre experience to both the participants and audience. We feel we achieved our goal in several aspects. One of the reasons River City Theatre Company chose Jungle Book was the challenge and opportunity for development it presents for each of the cast, crew and production team. One of the biggest challenges we anticipated was accommodating a large and diverse cast. We experienced both benefits and challenges with this. We had 39 actors participate ranging from 4 to 60+ including seven families with more than one participant. We were able to see a strong connection and bond form between all ages of the cast. We had over 100 years acting experience on stage. A great majority of our children actors were participating in their first on-stage production. We considered that a benefit and a challenge. First-time actors benefit a show because they bring a fresh perspective to the stage. It was challenging because new actors need more input from the director and need to learn the basics of projection, stage directions, and staying in character. Equally inspiring was the amount of learning that occurred behind the scenes. Our set was designed such that participants of all ages and skill levels were able to participate in building it. We had six-year-olds and 60 year olds working on the set at the same time. We had over one dozen volunteers working on everything from construction to painting, to making rocks out of papier mache. Thus, the show allowed all participants to become an integral part of a live theatrical production. Our challenges included finding enough backstage help for the stage crew and back stage child supervision, as well as help in the front of the house. We accomplished this by bringing in siblings and parents of cast members to help with ushering, ticket sales, concession sales, set moving, and child supervision. We also had adults and older youth cast members help out as set movers. If we had an opportunity to repeat a similar project, we might try to recruit more volunteers ahead of time. We felt that we reached the community we wished to serve for the most part. We achieved diversity in age in our cast, crew, volunteers, and our audience. The Jungle Book drew audience members from babies under a year old to many senior citizens from our community. We served the populations we expected to serve. The community of Watertown continues to support River City Theatre Company. Our 19 local business sponsors showed strong support from our community. The local newspaper wrote articles about the production, and flyers were sent home with children in local school districts. We also had support from our local Girl Scout troops and Leos (youth Lions Club), whose members volunteered to usher. We made our show accessible by offering roles, either on or offstage, to anyone who wished to participate. Part of our accessibility efforts are the low participation fees for cast members. We cap our participation fee at $60 per family ($30 per individual). The Jungle Book had seven families participate as cast members in the show. We offered scholarships to 14 people who could not afford to pay the fee. Our regular ticket prices for The Jungle Book were $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. We offered a variety of $1 off specials and even sent a flyer home with the elementary school students that offered free child admission with a paid adult.

We performed three times- first for a VERY Diverse student summer school audience (which was also recruiting for future programs) which was very receptive and responsive; a ""Rosetown audience"" which was a performance advertised to our database and was very well attended with a variety of ages; and a performance at Woodbridge Apartments, which brought in many diverse community members and families of students. The audience reactions and anecdotal comments after seeing the show were very positive. The Karen traditional song and dance, hearing Dah Salween play an instrument which was built in a refugee camp and brought with to the US was amazing, and the stories shared about what was ""in their bag"" and how it got there were moving and funny.

Season tickets sold during the season were 206. One of our artistic goals have been to perform diverse repertoire from concert to concert within a season to better serve the varying tastes of our community. Our three concert series this season included our traditional Christmas touching on styles of traditional music from various cultures around the world, a February concert exploring the masterwork collection of eleven Zigeunerlieder (Gipsy songs) by Brahms which was a significant challenge, and an April concert series featuring small group performs and the entire chorale performing songs by Billy Joel, Miley Cyrus, Franz Joseph Haydn, Steven Sondheim, etc. Another of our goals was to seek new artistic challenges. The most prevalent example of this during the season was the performance and rehearsal of Brahms Zigeunerlieder for the February concert in our season. The piece required great vocal flexibility from the singers as well as wide vocal ranges, not to mention the entire work was performed in German. Many of our singers have sung in German but the amount of not repeating German text presented a very significant challenge more so than was anticipated. The performance of the Zigeunerlieder would have benefited from both additional rehearsal time and better preparation from some of the singers. Another of our goals were to keep our concerts affordable and accessible which we did achieve with the addition of student/senior price tickets and a new ticket voucher program which was very successful, 3/4 of all vouchers used by the end of the season. Our organization served the community we had intended and had expected. They are the demographic age between young adult, 25yr old, and the elderly, 65+. Of those two defined age definitions our audience is a little stronger in the elderly demographic. In our local community and surrounding counties cultivating a diverse audience is difficult. This season in an attempt to broaden our audience diversity we implemented 2 new strategies: discount tickets for seniors and students, and new ticket vouchers for season ticket holders. Ticket vouchers were very successful with 3/4 of all vouchers being utilized by the end of the season. We also saw a small uptick in the number of student tickets purchased. We still feel there could be additional avenues for increasing community diversity within our audience.

For Saint Paul Vocal Forum singers, a desired outcome is to confront our ideas of homelessness and to form new understanding as we go through this process, and to achieve a clearer vision of what we mean when we say every voice matters."" Evaluation of the success of this project will include a count of the audience attending, an estimation (based on voluntary audience survey) of diversity of the audience. We will also conduct singer surveys and host a post-project joint meeting/debrief with both the Saint Paul Vocal Forum and New Day singers, for a group discussion to understand how this project impacted their ideas of homelessness, human resilience and the power of music to create connections.""","By survey, 100% of choir members expressed deeper understanding of “every voice matters” –they found connection in the process, appreciated the different places we come from as we interpreted the music, found meaning in the emotional rather than the intellectual interpretation of the music, and focused on connection and trust as the project went on. 225 audience members attended the concert. “Success for this project will be realized when our choirs come together to create a concert that speaks deeply and builds connections between singers and audience.” As we reflected on this, we realized that the originally planned repertoire would not lead to this success. As a result, our theme changed to one of inclusivity and our desire to “draw the circle wide.” The new repertoire included all singers-both Saint Paul Vocal Forum and New Day – in all songs as one choir. With this change, we met our artistic goals and surpassed our expectations! Our August retreat brought together both choirs to explore the music which centered on the concept of Widening Circles. We shared stories and perspectives about the musical messages, we shared a meal, we created shawls for every singer to wear at the concert. We began the process of writing our own verses for an arrangement of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” facilitated by Jean Greenwood and J. David Moore. The repertoire selected by director Karin Barrett explored the idea of widening circles, widening our perceptions…it gave all the singers some challenge. It also musically represented the theme by including rounds, and by including the audience in the singing (widening the circle at the concert). Asking Saint Paul Vocal Forum to commit some of the music to memory created a new level of engagement. While the challenges of directing New Day remained (attendance is fluid, more process oriented rather than goal oriented) it was important for them to understand that their contribution was key to the success of the program. NEW DAY was grateful for the opportunity to learn more about reading music in addition to teaching by imitation, and they expressed that this was really important to them even though it was quite a challenge! A reception for all the singers and audience members followed the concert. Many choir and audience members took advantage of the opportunity to talk together about their experience. It was very well received. The strength of the process was the collaboration, coming together for rehearsals at Saint Christopher Place, where many of the New Day singers reside, and owning the idea of being part of a unified circle of existence – all of us, regardless of our backgrounds or stories, are part of the inclusive circle. The challenge of the process was to stay in the process…to not get drawn into a more goal oriented approach, which is what Saint Paul Vocal Forum is used to. Working with NEW DAY made us more aware of the process of music making, and this helped Saint Paul Vocal Forum singers who may have been frustrated or judgmental at the outset to shift the focus from judgment to joy in the process of singing together and finding deeper value in our collective voice. The concert was held at Central Presbyterian Church in downtown St Paul. While the New Day choir rehearsed at Assumption, they were not available to host the concert. We believe we may have lost some Dorothy Day audience because of the added distance-a consideration for a future project. The singers from New Day included people of color and people who have experienced homelessness or those who support them – clearly one of our intended communities. We hoped for more singers to participate in New Day, but feel like this was a good start due to the fluidity of this demographic. There were between 8 and 10 singers who consistently joined us…4 women and 4-6 men, depending on the day. Overall, the community who came to hear the concert was more diverse both economically and racially than our normal audience due to friends and family of the NEW DAY singers. We also attracted new audience members who were interested specifically in the collaborative vision that this concert represented as well as audience members interested in supporting people experiencing homelessness. It was disappointing that we did not see as many people from the Dorothy Day Center as we had hoped would attend the concert. We believe part of the difficulty was that the concert couldn’t be held at Assumption Church which is just across the street from Dorothy Day. Central Presbyterian was about 4 blocks away. While a concert is one format, to really engage the people who are experiencing homelessness who use the services of Dorothy Day center, the concert program would need to be at the facility or right there outside. This is something in the works for a future time! We have been pleased that interest remains high in both choirs and the audience to continue this collaboration! In order to be open and accessible, we held joint rehearsals at Saint Christopher Place, where many of the New Day singers reside. We also provided rides for New Day members to the concert venue as needed. We were able to accommodate those with physical needs during the concert (seating, music stands, etc.) and provided healthy snacks/meals at rehearsals and at the concert reception. Central Presbyterian Church is fully accessible and served by public transportation, allowing easy access for audience members and choir members.",,7550,"Other, local or private",17550,,"Mary Jo Lewis, Phil Soucheray, Karen Esbjornson, Patrice Cicchese, Glenn Davis, Janet Zahn, Scott Sandberg, Perri Graham-Raff, Kathleen Bartholomay",0.00,"Saint Paul Vocal Forum","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Through the Valley, a collaborative concert with New Day Street Choir that will explore through choral music the paradox of lament and praise, and its meaning with respect to the challenge of homelessness, human resilience and the power of mus",2016-07-01,2017-01-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,MaryJo,Lewis,"Saint Paul Vocal Forum","1400 Searle St","St Paul",MN,55130,"(612) 280-9160 ",saintpaulvocalforum@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-717,"Glorianne Svitak: Artistic, education, organizational development; John Megas: Artistic, youth programming, disabilities specialist; Angela Bernhardt: Fundraising, administration, community service; Jessica Briggs: Artistic, administration; Taja Will: Artistic, education, community service; Marlene Pauley: Education, artistic, youth programming; Andrew Dolan: Artistic, fundraising, administration; Chris Yang: Artistic.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Participants will also report on artistic skills gained and artistic challenges experienced through surveys.","18 actors, 5 currently homeless and 9 formerly homeless, performed in a high profile, well executed performance which altered the perspectives of our community. 1310 audience members attended the production and judging by post show response, a significant number of them were moved to think about homelessness differently and take action. zAmya Theater articulated the following goals for our performance of Home Street Home Minneapolis at the Dowling Studio in September: a script re-visioning period incorporating new interviews with downtown stakeholders, new information about development in Downtown Minneapolis and new stories from actors currently homeless; a rehearsal period to blend in new material and sharpen existing scenes and songs; a team of professional design artists to create set, sound and lighting for the production; the addition of live musical accompaniment. All of these goals were accomplished with the support from MRAC and other sources of income. We added 6 new cast members recruited from our workshops at the Salvation Army and Youthlink Shelter in Downtown Minneapolis. We updated content around the Vikings Stadium scene, affordable housing, accomplishments in ending homelessness in Minnesota and other areas on which we'd received input from downtown stakeholders. We had a team of design professionals who did outstanding work in lighting, sound, costume and set design bringing a real professional look to the production which was one of our goals. We had a keyboardist who added music including a show stopping church hymn. The cast rehearsed all summer long and by the time we performed we felt we were presenting our best possible work. The response was outstanding. We are so pleased and grateful for the support. It was a challenge to work in new material and to work with the professional design team as we'd not done that before. There were moments when we wondered if we'd taken on too much given our resources. It was more work than anticipated to adjust the show to accommodate that number of new characters and bodies on stage. However, in the end it all paid off in the gorgeous final product. The new cast members who are currently staying in shelters downtown added authenticity as well as a level of joy that can only come from performers on stage for the first time. The new set design enabled a thrust configuration which worked so well for the intimate nature of the show and also helped incorporate a new concept of everything being under construction. We had 1310 people attend the production (with total available capacity at 1365, that’s 96%!!). As articulated in the proposal we had a mix of downtown stakeholders, people experiencing homelessness and Guthrie subscribers. The Guthrie offered 120 outreach tickets for people experiencing homelessness and Saint Stephen's employed an outreach person to advertise these tickets, take reservations and hand them out in the lobby. We know that 100 of these tickets were used by folks currently in shelter and transitional housing. We were able to offer $10 transportation cards to help facilitate access. We distributed 80 of these cards. ASL and AD was offered and space reserved nightly for people with access needs. For the actors we provided meals before every show and epic levels of transportation support. We created and filled the role of ""backstage support"" for an actor with special needs and an actor who is blind. Audience discussions were held nightly and from the responses we know we had the impact we were seeking. We had a board where people could answer the question ""What does your heart in action look/feel like?"" and we received many suggestions large and small for ways our community can help end homelessness.",,24077,"Other, local or private",34077,,"Jim Nikolai, Chuck Webber, Kristina Skar, Karen Klein, Henry Bromelkamp, Stanley Brown, Christine Jones, Andrew Herring, Loretta Larkey, Sandra Larson, Jay McGregor, Ed Murphy, Katherine Schafer",0.00,"Saint Stephen's Human Services AKA zAmya Theater Project","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to support a two-week run of zAmya TheaterÆs Home Street Home Minneapolis at the GuthrieÆs Dowling Studio in September 2016.

We solicit feedback from our artists through a post-mortem process, in which we gather all artists involved in the project to have a moderated conversation about what worked and didn't work with the artistic process.","13 theater artists created this play, which was attended by 368 individuals from the Twin Cities metro area. 15% of the audience were members of the Southern Theater's ARTshare program. Overall, we believe we achieved the artistic goals for this project. The final product follows closely to the description originally laid out in the grant proposal. We created an all-female production in an imagined future following the fall of civilization that was very beautifully realized with movement, music and shadow puppetry. We have been honing our ensemble creation process for 12 years now, and it worked very well in generating the material for this show. Two of our performers and our stage manager had never worked on an ensemble-created piece before, and our Project Lead had never been in charge of a project before; but they were able to slip right into Sandbox's creation process with very few hitches. The biggest challenge of this process was in constructing a play without a direct reference. Our previous shows have usually been based on an older story, book or historical incident. In this case, we were more or less cutting the world of the play from whole cloth. This affected our research process by forcing us to do more speculative imagination than we would normally have liked. It also made structuring the play a bit more difficult, as there was no previous story to model the show on, and we had no one person in the ensemble who could take charge of the script with an eye toward playwriting. In future projects, we would like to have more of the design elements in place much earlier in the creation process so that the performers would have more time to create the show with them in mind. We would also like to make sure that we have more time in the performance space to work out technical elements before the show opens. We have also decided that we should have one member of the creation ensemble be someone who fulfills a role more as a playwright, so that the finished script can be as cohesive and beautiful as the design and movement elements, and so that more story beats and plot points can be decided before rehearsals begins and the cast fleshes them out. We have not yet had time to collate and process all of the audience surveys distributed during the run of the show, but, from casual observation, the age/type/ethnicity of the audience seems to have been what we expected. However, the overall number of attendees was much lower than had been planned for, despite putting extra efforts into marketing to a wider audience than we have for past shows. For all of our shows for 2016, Sandbox has made a conscious effort to diversify the artists involved in our shows, both on stage and off. For this project, we specifically sought out artists of color to fulfill roles not already being performed by the permanent members of our company. 1/3 of our performers were non-white. However, this increase in diversity on the stage does not necessarily seem to have translated into increased diversity in our audiences. From a casual observation, the racial and ethnic makeup of those audiences has not changed from previous shows. This show was also important for increasing the diversity of meaningful roles for women in theater. All of the performers on stage, as well as the director and 2/3 of the design team were women. From conversations with audience members and feedback in audience surveys, it was apparent that women in the audience were appreciative of and empowered by this presentation. Again, this does not appear to have changed the makeup of our audience. All performances were held at the Southern Theater, which is wheelchair accessible, and geographically accessible by bus, light rail and bicycle, and we provided an ASL-interpreted performance. For economic accessibility, we provided a ""Pay What You Can"" night, student and senior discounts and group discount rates. This show also had tickets distributed through the Hennepin County Library system's new Smartpass program, which provides free and reduced-rate tickets to library patrons. In the future, we would like to start marketing to targeted groups and organizations much earlier. Instead of focusing on marketing to a wide, general audience, we would like to identify specific groups and organizations that whose makeup and mission would lead them to be inclined toward the subject matter of the show itself. In this way, we hope to create personal relationships with these groups that will translate into increased attendance and more personal allegiance over time.",,5300,"Other, local or private",15300,,"Connie Rutledge, Angie Beckey, Katharine Meyer, Anna Decker, Paul Jones, Matthew Glover, Derek Lee Miller",0.00,"Sandbox Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for 600 Years, an ensemble created theater piece told through silhouette, gesture, expressive physicality, sound and oral narrative.

We also met our goal of serving over 1,200 audience members at the Friday showcases as well as having over 40 staff members who taught at our programs. We were able to make our project open and accessible to a diverse group of participants. We were able to offer financial aid to 21% of campers and did not have to turn any participant away due to finances. Our program was also open to participants of all abilities. Roughly 55% of our participants had never played their instrument before camp and they were all able to successfully write and perform a song. We have been putting very intentional work towards making our program open and accessible to students of all racial and ethnic makeup. This year, that included a racial diversity training for all staff members that was presented by YWCA. We also tried to put advertisements in as many diverse media outlets (newsletters, social media, Radio K, Women’s Press) to ensure we were reaching all communities.

We are working on several strategies to further increase our outreach and accessibility to women and girls of color.

This made the program more inclusive and safe for a diverse group of students, especially for students who identify as part of the LGBTQIA community. In order to accommodate students of all identities, we talked about gender pronouns with the campers and had every camper write their gender pronouns on their name tags. We were not able to collect statistics on how many participants identify as LGTBQIA, but 44% of the staff members at GRRR this year identify as LGBTQIA. 100% of parent/guardians reported that the camp was a safe space for students who identify as female, gender non-conforming and trans. 94.7% of the campers indicated improved skill level and 88.6% indicated that they felt like their songwriting improved.

Six Families hopes to maintain an average audience size of (at least) 50 listeners for each event. For each workshop and performance Six Families will do a head count in order to track attendance. To evaluate the effectiveness of the workshops and performances regarding both audience members and performers Six Families will survey audience/participants/artists at each event with an accompanying post-performance interview with each lead artist in each performance.","As a result of this project Six Families established two new partnerships with organizations in the community. Additionally, Six Families supported 4 new collaborative teams of filmmakers and composers and contracted thirteen artists that were new to collaborating with the collective. Several of these artists have made plans to work with the Six Families in the future. In broad terms, we certainly achieved our artistic goals. We presented three events that fulfilled our goals of freedom from standard genres and developing unique formats and themes. In so doing, we supported emerging musicians seeking non-traditional performance opportunities. Our audiences were therefore able to benefit from positive experiences with creative music. To address our goals more specifically, and speak to strengths and challenges, each of our three events will be summarized below: “Solos”: This event achieved its goal of including Issam Rafea, Maja Radovanlija, and Matt Rahaim in an unconventional performance setting at the Omega Collective House in Minneapolis. It also expanded to include a second performance featuring Rafea and guitarist Chris Cunningham at the Khyber Pass Cafe in St Paul, and a workshop with Rafea co-sponsored and hosted by Mizna, and Arab arts organization in St Paul. While our initial plan to have Rafea, Radovanlija, and Rahaim perform a new work together did not come to pass, both performances and the workshop emphasized new collaborative groups. The concert at Khyber Pass Cafe featured spontaneous composition between Rafea and Cunningham. The Omega House performance and Mizna workshop featured new collaborations between Six Families members, local musicians, and featured soloists. While outreach to refugees proved insurmountably challenging, our efforts led to a new partnership with Mizna. “Tinkerfest”: This event achieved its central goals of bringing electronic music and instrument building to a diverse group of youth in an accessible and interactive way. It also achieved its goal of allowing youth to perform using hand-built instruments and electronics alongside older Twin Cities musicians (Mitch Stahlmann and Beatrix Jar). Its ability to empower youth to work creatively using low-cost and “found” electronics to make sounds proved to be an incredible strength. The challenges inherent in working within schools, notably scheduling, space acquisition, and promotion to students, were met with gusto. “Film”: This event achieved its goal of pairing sound and moving-image artists to create unique works not limited by genre. The end result was a diverse array of works including digital media, antique film projection, and live performance that were complimentary in surprising ways. There were many logistical, technical, and artistic challenges in presenting such a program, and the end result was perhaps a bit more heterogeneous than intended. However, we succeeded in providing artists and audience a positive opportunity to engage with novel and provocative intersections of sound and image. In summary, though the scope of some original ideas had to be refined, and some details altered, in order to bring together such a wide-ranging season, the breadth of our vision made for a special, unconventional series. We will learn from the challenges we faced, but would not change anything fundamental about our process. Six Families succeeded in working with several new musicians throughout the season, strengthening our relationships with previous season collaborators, and consistently meeting our new and recurring audience attendance goals. We ended up working closely with high school students through TinkerFest, which was not included in our original proposal. During the workshops at the High School for the Recording Arts we worked with anywhere from 10-20 students each day of the 5-day workshop. The final performance reached ~40 staff and students. While we did not end up reaching refugee communities in a much as we had hoped we did forge a significant bond with Mizna, which we will certainly take advantage of in the future. There will always be a need to strive for more diversity in our audiences, but this year's projects artist/audience diversity significantly surpassed previous years, thanks mostly in part to the funds received from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.

Participants in the classes will reach deeper levels of engagement with Somali culture through art study; weaving students will end the class series with an in-progress piece of weaving to work on at home; gabay students will end class with a fully memorized poem; and dance class participants will perform the dances they've learned","Weaving: The first session took place at Franklin Library in Minneapolis in February-March, and the second session took place at Skyline Tower in St Paul in August-September. We chose these locations as gathering places for members of the Twin Cities' Somali community, where people might stumble upon the classes and choose to check them out. This approach was successful, but we would like to continue to deepen our engagement of Somali youth specifically. In the future, we will offer classes that are separate for Somali youth and non-Somalis, because feedback indicated that Somali youth felt more ownership of spaces that were specifically for them. We would also like to continue to improve in regards to student retention, so they can gain deeper understanding of the craft. In the future, we will likely shorten each class session and also target activities to spaces that cater to more specific demographics, to increase a collective accountability for finishing the class. Finally, Cultural Interpreter/Education Coordinator Amina’s role in the class was also part of the program’s mission, as Amina is herself a young Somali-American adult interested in studying her own culture, and the class offered her a unique opportunity to engage deeply with elder women teachers and study a traditional art form. Dance: This program engaged a phenomenal group of Somali-American teens and young adults. These participants exceeded our expectations for their commitment, and established a model for future youth programming at the Museum. Participants made significant sacrifices to participate in the Dance Troupe, including one student who ended a romantic relationship in favor of focusing on dance study. In addition, the participants created a space for themselves to call the Somali Museum home. Several Dance participants now come to the Somali Museum most days after school, as a space to do their homework immersed in their culture. Other participants have testified that participation in the Dance Troupe has kept them away from trouble and bad influences. One more story-- Although it is not covered in this grant, it also bears mentioning that this year the Dance Troupe was invited to perform in Grand Forks, North Dakota as part of the African Arts Arena annual showcase, as well as in Washington, DC at a gala event of the organization Islamic Relief USA. It was a great honor for these youth to represent their community through their art. Poetry: Although we advertised the class as for those who already speak, read, and write Somali, several participants attended hoping to actually increase their knowledge of Somali language. This is an important demographic for us to offer resources to, but unfortunately limited the ability of this program to offer high-quality arts programming for participants who came seeking poetry study. We will work to be extremely clear in marketing in the future about the ability levels required to attend programs.

More than 80% of session participants and staff will report that the arts experience was enriching and satisfying, and that it improved their quality of life. Artistic staff will make and note weekly observations of changes in individual participants. Facility staff will attend all sessions and make separate observations, which they will report on an ongoing basis to Sounds of Hope staff. Subjective feedback will be solicited from participants following each session. Because of writing and reading challenges faced by many participants, the subjective feedback will generally be oral. Quarterly, the artistic staff will review the progress of each group meeting learning objectives.","Because we had a somewhat ""captive"" audience at each facility, we had great success reaching the community we desired to serve. Most of our participants were home-bound and many were also wheelchair-bound or walker-bound. Our success reaching most of those residents who were physically capable of attending was in large part due to an enthusiastic staff in each facility and an equally enthusiastic word-of-mouth promotion among those residents able to remember us from day to day. In both facilities, we achieved our targeted numbers, which had been established with the prior input of staff based on their knowledge of the residents. Staff was extremely good about coordinating schedules, reminding participants, and attending themselves in a support function. At Little Sisters, sessions were preceded by an ice cream social that certainly didn't hurt attendance. Also, during the ice cream socials, a 96-year-old resident played piano to add music to the event and to get participants more in the mood to sing. Schedules were more fluid at Sholom Homes, where better finances made more events outside ours possible, and as a result we had occasional issues with conflicts of events or schedule changes that were not as well coordinated by the facility's staff as they should have been, but this was only occasionally and it did not cause too much disruption. On the question of diversity, since participation was nearly 100%, we achieved as much diversity as possible. In the summer concerts, we brought performers meeting our diversity goals, with the youth who interacted with the residents coming from 15 countries on 5 continents, and with local performers from diverse ethnic and racial origins. 60-80 participants at Little Sisters of the Poor and Sholom Homes regularly attended singing, percussion, and movement sessions. 100 percent of those participants reported that the sessions improved the arts quality of their lives.",,2800,"Other, local or private",12800,,"Judy Morrison, Virginia Cone, Hannah Hoes, Fred Perez, Jim Keane, Gary Pederson, Bethany Gladhill, John Choi, David Pizzuto, David Badgley",0.00,"Sounds of Hope, Ltd.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for weekly music sessions in St Paul at Sholom Homes and Little Sisters of the Poor for elderly residents experiencing the effects of aging, including physical and cognitive limitations and difficulty accessing the arts.

36006,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We hope to achieve a successful two-week performance run of our new project PEOPLE I KNOW at the Red Eye Theater in November 2016, by engaging at least ten professional artists in the making of the work, and 150 audience members. We also hope to gain insights as to the impact of the process and performance through a variety of feedback from audience (written and /or verbal), collaborators, our advisory committee, and published criticism of the work. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes through a comprehensive audience/participant count, audience feedback forms, and informal post-show reception. Post-project we will also hold a series of wrap-up meetings with the cast, our dramaturgical team, and our advisory committee to talk about strengths and weaknesses, best practices, artistic and aesthetic questions and opinions, and next steps, which will help provide closure for the project as well as a deepened context in which SuperGroup can continue to make new performance work.","PEOPLE I KNOW: engaged 11 working artists from at least 7 different artistic disciplines, with a combined 300+ years of artistic experience. It also surpassed our goal of reaching an audience of 150, by over 50%, reaching 230+ audience members. Roughly 30% of the audience had never attended a SuperGroup show before, which is exciting for a small experimental performance company. We are pleased to report that we feel we successfully accomplished the goals we outlined in our application through the making, rehearsing, and performing of PEOPLE I KNOW: We designed the show and the space to allow audience members a different perspective on viewing performance in general and specifically at the Red Eye. The audience was placed very close to the performance, just a few feet away from the performers, forcing intimacy. This proximity also prevented any kind of broad visual perspective on the work, which meant audience members had to make very conscious choices about where to look and when. In feedback with the audience we found that this arrangement was sometimes freeing and sometimes frustrating or fatiguing, but seemed to really encourage critical thinking about audience agency, what performers drew attention when and why, and the pleasure, awkwardness, and complexity of getting to experience performers bodies up close. We arranged a diverse cast of performers from many different performance disciplines. It was exciting, and very challenging at times, as lead artists to try to figure out the best ways to translate our aesthetics and artistic desires to such a varied group of people. We found that language that might work for one performer, would absolutely confuse another. We all had patience around this and eventually found ways to build common ground and/or at times let go of everyone needing to be on the exact same page. For example, one of our performers who works in representational and visual portraiture eventually found their way into the work by comparing it to abstract painting. By viewing the performance as a live, three dimensional abstract painting, they were able to find a logic that allowed them to relax into the performance of it. Along these lines, if we could have done something different it would have been to lengthen our timeline. Though the show by our standards was beautiful and compelling and accomplished, we would have loved more rehearsal time to really hone certain sections, and to develop more directorial and structural strategies that worked for the whole group. One of the most profound moments of the process was coming to tech rehearsal the day after the presidential election. Everyone was scared and confused about the potential of the new political shift. After rehearsing for almost a year together, there was a level of trust within the group that allowed us to be together and support each other and find strength and comfort in making art together. There was a real sense of intergenerational and interdisciplinary respect, as well as mutual mentorship, and a building of understanding perspectives outside our own. In the words of our board op (the youngest member of our team, still in college) ""I'm grateful to have had this [show] to go back to during the past couple CRAZY weeks, and to sit with you all after the election. I think formative is something you sense later, but this felt like it."" We feel successful in the communities that PEOPLE I KNOW: was able to reach. We had over 230 audience members over 7 performances and around 30% of them were people who had never before seen a SuperGroup show. We consider this a great accomplishment, especially since we have a small but very dedicated following and our work is not so easily explained or contextualized. In our post show surveys, audience members had an age range from 18-69, and identified in many ways including: gay, Jewish, queer, parent, artist, person of color, sensualist, white, Christian, able-bodied, Improvisor, Environmentalist, Quaker, grandparent, somatic educator, food lover, trans, plant-enthusiast, early-riser, etc. We feel that we were quite successful in drawing a diverse community of people into the project, and that in great part was possible because of the diverse cast of artists who agreed to work with us. Each cast member was able to draw in their particular communities of family, friends, and colleagues reaching a much broader audience than SuperGroup alone has access to. That being said, we believe there are always opportunities to outreach to new and broader communities in the future and will continue to look for ways to connect our work to people beyond our loyal base. We promoted and advertised the work on various online platforms (Facebook, Instagram, dancemn.org, MNplaylist, etc.) and in print. The project was highlighted in the Star Tribune and City Pages, and was written about on two local performance blogs. The performance took place at ADA accessible Red Eye Theater in the centrally located neighborhood of Loring Park in Minneapolis very close to many public transportation options. We had a sliding scale ticket prices ranging from $10-$26 dollars which included all fees so there were no hidden costs for attendees. We also had a well-publicized ""no one turned away for lack of funds"" policy if ticket prices we're a financial barrier to people. Tickets were available online, by phone, and in person and we had a flexibility in our space to never turn an audience member away. We had an opening night and closing night reception for artists and audience members, providing complementary food and drink in a fun casual atmosphere. We also made a point to stay after each performance to greet and talk with audience. We found that many audience members were very curious about the process of the project and the content, and members of SuperGroup as well as the performers were more than happy to spend time answering questions and deepening audiences’ knowledge of the work.",,18500,"Other, local or private",28500,,"Rachel Jendrzejewski, Miriam Must, Byrd Shuler, Michele Steinwald, Harry Waters Jr",0.00,SuperGroup,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for PEOPLE I KNOW, a group solo performance in which six individuals standing in a straight line do the same solo, in unison, inciting a rift in our understanding of authenticity, ownership, and identity.

We will keep participation counts for all events, tracking numbers of artists, youth, and adult learners attending. We will conduct participant surveys in conjunction with all workshops and apprenticeships, and gather written feedback from panel discussions and community meet-ups.","We grossly underestimated our reach in all cases. We had originally projected to work with 30 artists, but we quickly realized we needed to draw from a wider, more diverse pool of artists for our Panel Discussions and Community Meet-Ups if we were to equitably engage with the issues and communities for which we were holding space. Additionally, our Youth Workshops, originally slated to be taught by four pairs of artists, quickly became much larger endeavors as the needs of the schools and youth camp clarified, and more teaching artists were needed to maintain our good teacher-learner ratios and more representative exposure of both the kinds of art practiced in our community and also the demographics of the people practicing it (we finished at 54 artists engaged instead of our projected 30). We had originally planned for our Youth Workshops to engage with groups of 20 students each, but in discussions with the schools, we quickly found the need to engage with far more students and adapted to that. We entered multiple classrooms and gave professional performances to large numbers of students which were then used as jumping-off points for further engagement and learning (we finished at 1296 youth learners instead of our projected 80). We had projected that participation for our Adult Workshops would average 75% (up from 60% in our first 2 years). However, our workshops all were either 90% full or sold out, and participation in our Discussions and Meet-Ups nearly doubled from previous years! We account this to a more aggressively spreading the word through social media, a better organized newsletter, a more established presence, but perhaps most of all to an outreach effort rooted in going directly to communities that are often overlooked or sidelined and building intentional, two-way relationships. That approach also informed our outreach in working with teaching artists, specifically seeking out artists who are almost never given a public face, either because of who they are or what they do. Our very affordable prices were combined with an aggressive scholarship policy, trading a massive discount in exchange for ""helping set up and load out with the instructors"" (or, in other words, pay less for additional instruction time), and light food and drink provided on-site. This helped alleviate a lot of the traditional barriers preventing access to the arts, which was precisely our main goal as regards community. Of our teaching artists, more than half were women. The Asian-American, African-American and Latinx communities were represented among the teaching artists. This representation was important given the large numbers of women and people of color among our participants, especially our youth participants. Both our Apprentices were new to the technical theatre. One is a Latinx musician and the other a Hispanic visual artist, both of whom intend to use their new skills to support communities traditional theatre typically does not interact with. Technical Tools of the Trade held 8 workshops, 4 panels, 4 community meet-ups, and organized 2 apprenticeships. We served 1296 youth learners, 181 adult learners, and 54 artists. Of the participants that completed surveys, 96% of adult learners and 79% of youth learners reported that their skill level or community engagement was improved by Tech Tools programming for a total of 83% improvement program wide.",,29225,"Other, local or private",39225,,"MIchelle Pett, Robin Gillette, Jen Rand, Molly Diers",0.00,"Technical Tools of the Trade","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for an education program in technical skills and design in the performing arts for school-age through adult students from February to October of 2016.",2016-02-01,2016-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Laura,Wilhelm,"Technical Tools of the Trade","3451 Wilshire Pl NE  ",Minneapolis,MN,55418,"(612) 968-5539 ",admin@techtoolstraining.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-691,"Stephanie Nevilles: Disabilities specialist, volunteerism, youth programming; Karen Gundlach: Artistic, education, youth programming, Community Education; Mara Miller: General management, artistic; Justin Christy: Education, general management; Jennifer Halcrow: Fundraising, general management, volunteerism; Dudley Voigt: Education, artistic, youth programming; Lynda Monick-Isenberg: Artistic, education; Hlee Lee: Artistic, general management; Ian Vaver: General management; Shana Crosson: Computer design, education, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Artist surveys indicated the experience was positive and they would work with Theatre Unbound again. Audience count from box office records. Artist feedback through surveys and conversation.","256 people attended. Artists indicated the show was a good opportunity for them and they enjoyed working on a team of predominantly women. Our artistic goal was “to create a production that does justice to the ferocious comic energy of the script, and that appeals to both liberal and conservative audience members.” We feel our production of The Taming achieved this goal. Jill Shafer of Cherry and Spoon blog praised its “political satire, humor and wackiness.” Art Dorman of Talkin Broadway noted its “exaggerated, winking energy” and its ability to rock his usual political stance: “My own bias usually favors the liberal in a policy duel—not this time.” Audience members called it “timely and relevant.” Wide-ranging Twin Cities theatregoer Scott Pakudaitis included it in his list of favorites from 2016. The main challenge of our process for this show was that we were unable to hire a contract production manager early enough, so production manager duties were split among artistic director Stacey Poirier, executive director Anne Bertram, and technical director Brittany Pooladian. On occasion, responsibilities were not clear and efforts were duplicated or missed, for instance when both Ms. Poirier and Ms. Bertram brought artist contracts to the first read-through. In the past, we have given stage managers the responsibility for scheduling production meetings. The Taming’s design team had unusually hectic schedules, and when the Stage Manager was unable to find a time that all designers could attend, no one made the call to go ahead with the meeting. Consequently, only one in-person production meeting was held. Designers felt they were somewhat out of the loop as to the director’s intentions. As a result of this experience, we have made scheduling production meetings the responsibility of the production manager, with the mandate to hold production meetings if most designers can attend. (We have hired a salaried part-time production manager for the 2017-18 season.) Some artistic choices didn’t work for everyone. The theatre at SteppingStone is a proscenium arch with a red velvet grand drape, and the director chose to close and open the curtains for scene transitions, in keeping with the over-the-top theatrical tone of the script. Some audience members felt that the time it took for the curtains hurt the pacing of the show. Others felt that the performers had not mastered the Southern accents that were used (the characters are Georgians). For future productions where accents are important, we will budget for substantial help from a dialect coach. A secondary goal was to give women performers the chance to hone their skills at comedy, and we feel we succeeded here. As actor Nissa Nordland says, “I loved the challenge of being Katherine and George Washington and Martha and Dolly…this was a great opportunity for a female character actor to show their stuff. THANK YOU SO MUCH.” We serve two communities, artists and audience. Our goal for our artist community was to provide employment for 11 artists. We succeeded at this. With our audience community, we intended to attract 550 people, and attracted only 256. In part, we overestimated people’s appetite for a light-hearted look at politics in the fall of 2016. Our lack of success in attracting audience members has prompted us to learn more about our audience and what they value about Theatre Unbound. With the help of staff at Arts Midwest, where we were attending the ArtsLab development program this winter, we designed a set of questions for regular TU audience members. Board members were able to connect with a couple of audience members to ask these questions by phone. In the interests of getting a wider response, board member Danielle Schreppel, a Marketing Strategist with 3M, adapted the survey questions into an online questionnaire. We sent out this survey in a newsletter after the Taming, but made the mistake of including it as a second paragraph after other material – it got somewhat buried. Response was light and did not give us any substantive information. In the next couple of weeks, we will be sending the survey out again with a newsletter entirely to itself. Our actual Populations Benefitting did not include as many older adults as we anticipated. They were present, but according to audience surveys made up only 21% of the whole. The largest single group was adults 25-34, which was a bit unusual for us. We attribute this to the fact that most of the artists involved with the show were in this age bracket. Unsurprisingly, artists tend to attract audience members who are like them. As regards ethnic diversity, all project artists for The Taming were white, as were the majority of the audience members. We have made a commitment to employ artists of color on every Theatre Unbound production going forward. In terms of gender diversity, 60% of our audience identified as women, which is typical for US theatre audiences. The remainder identified as men or as trans*. In terms of accessibility, we stationed ushers at the wheelchair accessible entrance to assist patrons who were unable or disinclined to enter the theatre through the large flight of steps in front.

In two days, about 1300 audience members came to watch our shows. The audience gave a lot of good comments to Twin Cities Chinese Dance Center students’ performance. It is the first time all 400 tickets of days show were sold out by O' Shaughnessy. More Minnesotans attended our arts activities. Sally Tu came from St Cloud and joined Sunday shows. The annual production of 2017 Rooster Chinese New Year was so successfully. About 1300 audiences attended two days show. Our students after a yearlong learning and training, they performed 9 different ethnic dances, delivered the authentic Chinese culture of Art. They performed in solo, trio and group dances format. Twin Cities Chinese Dance Center is the only arts group to perform the variety Chinese folks and ethnic dance programs in this celebration season. On the stage, they performed well in reflecting what the features of the ethnic dance compare with other dances, what is the typical movement of the essential concept of one specific ethnic, in the manner of the arts performance, they told the audiences that core belief and spirit in Chinese dance movements for each program in ethnic, modern and classic dance formats. Our students were so excited in costumes with the lighting and music, they did not simply repeat what they learned from the classrooms, and they paid attention to deliver the characters of the ethnic/traditional dances. It is time again we use moving and video clips controlled by programming on the back screen, dynamic fireworks, and blowing flags, children cartons, etc. gave the strong vision impact to the audience. Most words we heard from the audience were “Amazing!” Our students made progress and have enriched their performance integrated dance skills, culture features, and their personal intelligence successfully. Ingrid Yelkin sent an email to Twin Cities Chinese Dance Center board: Wow! Joy of Dance VIII, we attended the Chinese New Year celebration on Sunday, my sons and I learned so much! The performers were impressive. I am reaching out to see if your dance group would be interested in participating at the Celebration of Cultures at the Countryside Elementary School in Edina. There is an issue as of last year, the lighting in O’Shaughnessy is showing they still not being able to match our vision requirement; they have limited light colors available now, cannot provide wider range of the light colors, so we need pay more attention in selecting the costumes’ colors to make sure we can maximum the light and color vision effecting to the audiences. This activity was planned to celebrate Chinese New Year, we mainly serve to Asian and Chinese communities in twin cities. However, more other race people called for buying tickets to attend our performance. There were about 1100 people attended our shows, and market share remained in stable in Chinese communities since the qualities of our shows have built up. Many audiences have watched our show more than twice. We think from the large view point, we brought Chinese culture to the residents of twin cities even though it is a small part of Minnesota culture. In our shows, we added some other culture components, our Mexican youth students performed Latin dance, and all audience gave the huge applause to the young artists. We selected O’Shaughnessy as the place of our show project. It is wheelchair accessible as well as free parking sport to attended audiences. In our brochure, we print wheelchair accessible sign, we wrote both English and Chinese to introduce our artists and program details, so the audiences know what the dance was about for. As we stated earlier, we sent our postcard to community and asked them to join us. We give about 10% free tickets to public schools, foundations, arts groups, and low income families.

We will track the number of participants throughout the year. We will engage in ongoing dialogue - verbal and written - inquiring as to ways that these experiences may be applied beyond this project.","500 audience members attended performances of Sights and Sound Bites, participating in dance and discussion about social justices. 27 dancers engaged in dance, writing, music and video to explore themes of social justice. Young Dance Guest Artist in Residence, Brian Evans, worked with 75 dancers in classes, company rehearsals and outreach workshops. Through Sights and Sound Bites, the Young Dance company explored dance through a lens of social justice. Choreographic residencies with Ananya Chatterjea, Brian Evans and Elizabeth Johnson, a partnership with Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts, workshops with H. Adam Harris and service projects designed and implemented by Young Dance company members all shone light on issues of accessibility, equity, and justice facing the dancers in their lives and communities. A Young Dance parent commented that their daughter, age 10, was very anxious, in the fall, and was uncomfortable discussing the election and issues in the local and national dialogue. As the year progressed she grew more comfortable discussing concerns and asserting her own values through actions. They attributed her evolution to the opportunities she had at Young Dance to discuss and move with others as they explored fear and hope, ideas and actions. Though this lens was not entirely new to Young Dance, staff and dancers alike deepened our understanding of equity and of social justice structures and practice. Dancers voiced their passions through choreography, whether it was their own or in the work of professional artists. Dancers acknowledged the difference they can make simply by coming together as a group in support of others, and took the initiative to organize for service projects and public demonstrations. However, both staff and dancers ended the season with a desire to go deeper, to promote social justice through our art making, to provide dance opportunities for others, both within Young Dance (class participants) and in the larger community. Working with multiple guest artists provided a myriad of approaches to social justice through dance. Dr. Chatterjea coached the dancers in declaring their fears, hopes, convictions and putting the commitment of their emotions into the dance. Mr. Evans facilitated community art making processes in which each dancers contributed ideas and the collective group found ways to voice them. Ms. Johnson enriched the Young Dance/Semilla collaboration with creative explorations of fear and bravery, isolation and community. The work with guest artists informed the artistic process of Young Dance staff, Pick and Jones, both of whom pushed into new territories in work they created for the Young Dance company. A framework of social justice permeated rehearsals and classes where we reflected upon who held power as a facilitator and ways that creative processes and learning environments supported inclusion and/or exclusion. Though artists, professional and youth, were passionate about the work created this year, we were challenged with having enough rehearsal time to achieve a consistent high quality with all the dances. As we look towards future seasons, we are mindful of trying to take on an appropriate amount of work to create a high quality experience that engages artists and audiences alike. Our commitment to a process at an intersection with social justice led to a deep investigation of who we each are as individuals and as a community. From a demographic explanation, the community would likely be very close to how it was defined in our proposal. However, the diversity of the Young Dance community revealed itself in ways that we didn't know going into this process. At rehearsals and in classes we engaged in dance activities around identity, inclusion, group awareness and support. This led to an environment where dancers felt safe revealing more invisible aspects of their identity, such as gender fluidity, sexuality, disabilities that are not obvious, and ways their family histories impact their sense of identity. One of the most significant successes in the area of community of this project was creating an environment in which people could engage their discomfort and grow as individuals and as a community. Partnering with Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts allowed us to engage with their community, a Phillips neighborhood based community. Though the actual rehearsal process only lasted two weeks, and took place in May, we began meeting with Semilla “youth leaders” in the fall, to create the vision of the project. We had hoped that an equal number of participants from Young Dance and Semilla would take part, but we had 5 Semilla participants and 10 Young Dance participants. Upon reflection, the director of Semilla suggested that it is difficult to recruit consistent participants during school, and a future project may work better for them in the summer. We do have plans to come together and perform the final project one more time in July at Open Streets. The 5 Semilla participants were Latina and African-American. The project with Semilla provided participants with important challenges of community building in the arts. Over the course of the process, though the participants from each community shared generously and openly with each other when creating together, they tended to stick to their own social groups on breaks. The performance itself was planned with times for the audience to meet each each other, walking form sight to sight they were given tasks to talk to someone they didn't’ already know and begin to build connections. The process of planning these interactions for the performance showed the youth participants that they needed also to do that work. All felt like the two-week rehearsal process was a beginning, a first step, significant only if we continue to build understanding and connections. We are continuing conversations with Semilla about how to build upon this partnership as well as developing partnerships with other community organizations with these lessons in mind.",,40876,"Other, local or private",50876,,"Laura Busian, Kimberly Skalbeck, Jonathan Morris, Rachel Gagliardi, Jess Rehbein, Megan Thimmesch, Aubrey Donisch",0.00,"Young Dance, Inc.

We will track attendance in our classes; teachers will document concepts covered in classes and articulate how those concepts are demonstrated through performance; and each class will culminate in a public showing.","Through All Abilities Dancing, Young Dance branches out in the exploration of dance, and in the diversity of the individuals who participate in the classes and come to the performances. The 15-20 participants in the All Abilities Dancing Level Two class are individuals with and without disabilities, ranging in age from 12 – 50, (majority between 12-22), 40% male, and no single racial group is a majority. This is a model of diversity we would like to emulate throughout our organization. We look to the ways that we do outreach, engage the community for feedback, develop curriculum and create partnerships with All Abilities Dancing to inform programming throughout Young Dance. We encountered different successes and challenges with the communities we reached through our partnerships. As mentioned above, the process of setting up classes at Hennepin County Home School took much longer than we anticipated, so we were not able to run as many classes as we had planned. However, the relationship that is now established is much deeper, with Young Dance staff better trained to teach the classes and HCHS staff have a more thorough understanding of the goals of the classes. Through this partnership we are currently poised to continue classes through the summer and next school year, with funding provided, in part, from Hennepin County. In addition to Dowling School, we were able to do after school classes at Marcy Open School, which has a significant populations of students on the autism spectrum. The dance specialist at Roosevelt High School felt that the Young Dance classes redefined, for her, how to approach dance with her population of students with Developmental and Cognitive delays. On her own, she has pursued more learning opportunities with Young Dance. In turn, her sense of arc over a semester, necessary for school, and her need to be responsive to state standards and evaluation are informing a more clear articulation of curriculum that Young Dance can use for all of our programming. We conducted classes with Lifeworks in the winter of 2016, however due to staffing shifts at both organizations, Young Dance and Lifeworks, the partnership did not resume in the spring and fall. This partnership had started in 2015 and was aligned with Lifeworks goal of integrating their clients into the community, bringing participants to classes that were off sight of their day center. However, holding classes off sight also presented challenges resulting in inconsistent attendance, arrival times and last minute cancellations. When Ms. Pick went on sabbatical, after one session of these classes, the temporary outreach coordinator evaluated that the inconsistencies drained our resources more than the classes benefitted our organization. Lifeworks also had a staffing shift, and the new staff coordinator was not especially interested in the dance programming. Without anyone championing the classes, they were not prioritized for the spring and fall schedule. 20 dancers, with and without disabilities, participated in intermediate-advanced learning opportunities in the Dance for All Abilities class while 60 participants, ages 5-40, were introduced to dance through ongoing classes and partnerships with community organizations.

Both residencies address Minnesota standards of education in both the arts and other content areas. By doing this we hope to reinforce and enhance the understanding of both content areas. The goal of Layl McDill's residency is to combine her unique art form with concepts from science, social studies and math. By using creativity, problem solving and math concepts, 3rd grade students will create physical representations of the animals that they are learning about in science. For the fourth grade, social studies standards will be addressed and students will use communication, creativity, and problem solving to create physical representations of state birds from the states that students are learning about. The residency will be considered successful if the following criteria are met: 1. Students are able to use and incorporate polymer clay, armatures, color mixing and millefiore/caning techniques to make a 3-dimensional form. 2. Students are able to successfully create unique 3-dimensional representations of predator and prey animals and state birds. 3. Students are able to talk about their use of elements and principals of art to represent the unique qualities of their animals or birds. We will also know that we have achieved our goals by documenting the end products from each residency with photographs. The sculptures that each child creates will demonstrate pride and show that they participated in the artistic processes of learning new information and skills, planning, decision making, production, and evaluation of their artwork. To further evaluate the process, we will distribute a survey to instructors to evaluate the success of the residency in teaching the state objectives and creating excitement for learning. Community performances and art shows will also provide feedback by participation from parents, showing excitement for the arts and their child's experience. Surveys will specifically address the following statements. Teachers: 1. Interest in the arts. 2. Excitement for learning core classroom objectives. 3. Reinforcement and enhanced comprehension of both art and core content area learning. 4. Achievement of above state objectives. 5. Overall quality of the residency. Parents: 1. Interest and excitement for the arts. 2. Involvement in residency and community event. 3. General excitement for going to school during residency. 4. Student understanding of the basic objectives outlined above. 5. Overall quality of the residency.","One measurable outcome was the huge increase in students that have now had exposure to another actual working artist from our state.

Each of these residency addresses Minnesota standards of education in both the Arts and other content areas. By doing this we hope to reinforce and enhance the understanding of both content areas. Ross Sutter: The dulcimer project will incorporate the language arts, math, science social studies and media arts by accomplishing the following: 1. Perform at least three tunes on the one-stringed dulcimer alone and/or in a group. 2. Read and write tunes for the dulcimer using a system of notation (tablature). 3. Improvise and/or compose a tune to play on the dulcimer. 4. Demonstrate understanding of the cultural and historical context of the Appalachian (mountain) dulcimer, including songs. 5. Identify parts of the dulcimer. 6. Students will understand how math and science are involved in the functioning of stringed instruments. 7. Students will understand ways to change pitch, volume and timbre on a stringed instrument. 8. Students will measure accurately. 9. Use and convert fractions with accuracy. We will know that we have achieved our goals by documenting the end products from each residency with photographs. The map boxes and dulcimer that each child creates will demonstrate pride and show that they participated in the process. To evaluate the process, we will distribute a survey to instructors to evaluate the success of the residency in teaching the state objectives and creating excitement for learning. Community performances and art shows will also provide feedback by participation from parents, showing excitement for the arts and their child's experience. Surveys will specifically address the following statements. Teachers: 1. Interest in the arts. 2. Excitement for learning core classroom objectives. 3. Reinforcement and enhanced comprehension of both art and core content area learning. 4. Achievement of above state objectives. 5. Overall quality of the residency. Parents: 1.

Media Arts Apprenticeship Program’s artistic goals are for young artists of color to develop a greater understanding of media arts as a career through practicing their proficiency in the craft in a professional setting of a documentary film production, increasing artistic quality and professional expectations, and comprehending more deeply the real-life application of arts techniques. The program and participants will be evaluated structured program quality assessment activities and processes such as surveys, interviews, monitoring, and other evaluation tools results of the evaluation will be used to make program adjustments, ensure proper implementation, and establish long-term program sustainability. We intent to share our results, outcomes and products with the community, funders, and the public to bring greater visibility to all involved in Media Arts Apprenticeship Program. The Media Arts Apprenticeship Program leaders and the advisory committee will regularly measure the impact of the program to ensure that the participants are getting the previously outlined artistic/educational benefits. We will measure the success of the Young Artist-apprentices, Program, Media Creations, and Community.","Media Arts Apprenticeship Program 2016 focused on engaging the Hmong community. The Hmong are a distinct ethnic group with ancient roots in China, and began coming to Minnesota in 1975 as refugees from the destructive wars that had ravaged their homelands in Laos. Today, there are more than 66,000 Hmong in Minnesota, and the Twin Cities metro is home to the largest concentration of Hmong in America. Tragically, about one-third of Hmong Minnesotans live in poverty. For these reasons, more positive professional development activities such as Media Arts Apprenticeship Program are needed in the community. Media Arts Apprenticeship Program participants were young Hmong artists of color from low-income families with a strong interest in media arts (video, audio, etc.) or new media (Youtube, Instagram, etc.), and curious about exploring the arts as a profession, and were select for interest in the program and their cultural and linguistic understanding of the subject matter. Media Arts Apprenticeship Program was designed to engage young low-income emerging artists of color by providing apprenticeship opportunities, stipends, and a professional arts experience they otherwise may not have. Sharing the talents of creative professionals of color, while developing the capacity of emerging artists of color, helped to create and sustain art that speaks to and come from diverse communities. We also helped to create an understanding and cultural bridge for mainstream Minnesotans and others to better relate to the increasingly multicultural world around them. Media Arts Apprenticeship Program leaders and artists are diverse community members with extensive experience serving communities of color in Minnesota. We make it a point to employ artists of color from similar backgrounds as the young artists we serve. Also, the focus of Media Arts Apprenticeship Program was to provide aspiring media and new media artists of color professional development experiences, to address employment, educational, and other deficiencies. Moreover, the projects that the participants assisted in creating helped to shed light on the plight of the Hmong community as refugees in Minnesota. Lastly, through Media Arts Apprenticeship Program’s artist leadership development activities, young artists collected stories and input from Hmong community members and other stakeholders about relevant community issues, which was produced into media to be shared with the community, public and decision-makers. Media Arts Apprenticeship Program has been designed to eliminate most barriers to participation and be accessible to those who wish to get involved. We offered Media Arts Apprenticeship Program for free to participants since the program serves economically disadvantaged young artists of color. These benefits were announced to our partners and others when promoting the program. Furthermore, Media Arts Apprenticeship Program participants were paid stipends for completing media arts projects. We also provided access to media equipment, training, and mentorships, which are valuable resources for disadvantaged community members. When necessary, we also provided transportation assistance since we recognize this to be a significant barrier to participation for youths of color. Youth apprentices trained in professional media arts techniques, were assigned project related tasks, and worked with professional media artists on a high-quality media project.",,6000,"Other, local or private",16000,,"David Kang, Kang Vang, Raiza Beltran, John Bell, Peg Thomas, Kue Xiong, Ai Vang",0.00,"The DIAL GROUP","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for the Media Arts Apprenticeship Program for artists of color ages 15 through 21.

At South High School, the student body includes African Americans, Caucasians, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and Latino Americans. The workshops drew from all of these groups. We feel good about the subset of students who attended a performance and/or rehearsal in addition to the workshops. This gave an added depth of processing and exposure over time that is fundamental for cultivating long-term engagement. This project was not, per se, intended to be open and accessible to all students who might wish to participate at each school. It was open and accessible to the four differently situated schools who sought us out for participation. 97 students at four Twin Cities middle and high schools participated in 37 Choreographing Identity Workshops conducted by five Ananya Dance Theatre artists.

The evaluation plan is comprised of daily rubrics filled out by teachers (artist/mentors) that have numerical values attributed to the development of desired skills, such as shading or incorporation of a personal narrative in artworks. This is paired with weekly self-evaluations completed by the students that assess their comfort and confidence as artists and individuals.","The Art Bus successfully reached the intended community we planned to serve by holding The Art Bus sessions at Mount Airy Hi-Rise, a low-income, multi-family housing complex made up primarily of Somali, Hispanic and African-American families in downtown St Paul. Our outreach efforts were held at the community center and involved signing up participants and obtaining permission slips from parents and guardians. By holding the signup sessions after school we tried to make The Art Bus accessible to the entire youth population at Mount Airy. We used poster boards with pictures of the bus and specially designed signup sheets. These were posted on the community board and individuals at the front desk were available to provide materials and direct any questions to Beth Pacunas, Resident Initiatives Department at Saint Paul Public Housing and Ubax Ali, a Somali community center coordinator. The demographic makeup of Mount Airy Hi-Rise was an ideal fit for the population we wished to serve. Because of our community partnership with Saint Paul Public Schools, we were provided with valuable resources and contacts with Cultural Specialists in the Office of Family Engagement and Community Partnerships.

On-Ice Program presence improves downtown winter business traffic and increases gross sales for restaurants and bars, broadens the visitor population from areas outside White Bear Lake and expands city brand as a year-round destination and hub of arts activities. Artists and audiences alike will experience an expanded notion of the arts through participation. Participants are counted by volunteers located in the parking lot and on the ice. At the end of each day, numbers are compared and averaged to provide a reasonable estimate of attendees. Volunteers stationed near the entrance or inside the Welcome Shanty survey willing audience members about participation experience. Electronic version of the survey is also available online during the program. Artists are surveyed during the planning process and again after the program. Volunteers are surveyed after the program. Sponsors and businesses are asked about their experience and direct outcomes in one-on-one interviews after the event has ended.","Art Shanty Projects expands the notions of art and definitions of artist through mission goals demonstrating nearly 80% of audience members agree their ideas of art were changed by the engagement with communal public artwork in unpredictable spaces. With an aim to deepen impact on the city, over 75% of visitors were from outside the city. Nearly 8,500 people engaged with the On-Ice Program. The focus of the project is on both quality and process of artistic product as demonstrated by: Artists creating projects that push themselves creatively and engage the audience. Flexible project management allowing for the development and realization of an artist’s idea. Reverence for the lake environment and existing community while bringing a new use to a place that has an established relationship with patrons. Artist-audience engagement as essential to the success of the experience. Art Shanty Projects is able to achieve artistic goals by providing a challenging environment that stretches artists technically and conceptually—offering individuals the opportunity to create as a collective, organize multidisciplinary activities and complement each other's work. The project invites creativity, exploration and risk, while demanding an attention to place and environment. Working with over 130 artists, the festival included 20 shanties and 13 interactive performances and facilitated almost 8,500 community members to engage in the arts. Our simple application process encouraged creative people of all types to apply; bringing in almost 50 applications from teams of artists ranging from 1-30 people. Most of the participants consider themselves emerging artists, yet were able to successfully create interactive art that pushed themselves creatively and engaged audiences completely. Collaborations with other nonprofits led to donated materials which helped decrease out-of-pocket requirements to complete a feasible project. Leadership and site visits from the Artistic Director help provide guidance while cooperation with other presenting artists fostered flexible project management and collective development of artist ideas. Greater than 80% of surveyed artists felt involvement with the program provided them with additional opportunities and connections to the arts community. The leave no trace mandate ensured our presence left only footprints at our host location. Audience members cited affinity for the program stemmed from the program being a free, fun way to get outside during winter and become part of the art. While the process worked well, the stipend for artists is still appallingly low. It is Art Shanty Projects' plan to increase artist pay 20% year-over-year until adequate funds can be allocated to ensure artists are paid a livable wage for their projects. The On-Ice Program provides a free, vibrant creative opportunity for residents and businesses in our host community as well as visitors from the Twin Cities and surrounding metro area, Greater Minnesota and locations beyond our borders while maintaining reverence for existing on-ice communities through coordination with the City of White Bear Lake. The On-Ice Program brought almost 8,500 people to White Bear Lake during a time of year when recreational visitor population is at its lowest. Approximately 3/4 of audiences members were from outside the city; 6% of them heralding from other states (including a handful from outside the country)! Almost 60% of surveyed audience members were new to Art Shanty Projects and 60% of attendees typically participate in less than one arts event per month. The On-Ice Program not only provides a gateway into the arts, but exposes new people to White Bear Lake, a community seeking to improve downtown winter business traffic, broaden the visitor population and expand city brand as a year-round destination and hub of arts activities. Art Shanty Projects strives to address inclusiveness through greater outreach including: A commitment to free access to the project, open to everyone during daylight hours. Increased accessibility to those that may have physical barriers to participation. The organization allocated funds to hire a sign language interpreter and audio describer on select days of the project and advertised those days prominently in all media channels and through cross-promotional partners. We offered artist-designed and build kick-sleds (chair mounted to skis that can be pushed by volunteers) for use by those who have difficulties walking on the ice. Nonprofit partner, ArtCars/ArtBikes, supplied volunteer pedi-cab rides as on-ice transportation to those in need to help keep the shanties accessible. Art Shanty Projects saw a growth in audience numbers as a result of increased accessibility efforts, with over six deaf visitors using the American Sign Language interpreter services. Patrons anecdotally shared their gratitude for the efforts toward inclusion in social media. And other small arts organizations reached out to Art Shanty Projects management to seek guidance on actions to emulate efforts of improved accessibility to the arts.",,90000,"Other, local or private",100000,,"Monica Sheets, Marlaine Cox, Greg Mann, Caitlin Warner, Carolina Borja, Esther Callahan, Clover Earl, Sarah Shives, Lauren White, Scott Nortrom",0.00,"Art Shanty Projects","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to curate and present the 2017 Art Shanty Projects, a free four-week interactive exhibit of performance and visual art on frozen White Bear Lake.

Qualitative: children understand that music making in small groups is analogous to leader/follower roles in a sports team, children learn to distinguish the melody leaders and harmonic supporters, etc. We will interview the Park Board staff after the concerts, count the number of children and adults attending, evaluate how well they are understanding the concepts by their success in the melody/harmony/rhythmic games we play, and interview the musicians involved.","We performed for 488 individuals, including staff, community members, and children. The biggest groups each had 61 people; the smallest was 11. Counselors surveyed responded 100% positively to the questions we posed: did the kids engage with the games, was the concept of musical teamwork clearly conveyed, was the quality of performance high. We felt that we achieved our artistic goals, presenting high quality intimate concerts to an underserved population, kids 6-12 at Minneapolis Park Recreation Centers. Presented in the Rec centers all-purpose rooms, the children sat or lay on the carpet listening directly in front of the musicians, all with a clear view and clear perception of what music making entailed. We were especially happy with the total, and accurate, participation of the kids in the ""Identify Who Has the Melody?"" game, where they would stand when ""their team member"" had the ball (melody). We repeated that activity with a different piece after the first presentation. Other things we changed were the order - one piece was harder for the children to comprehend, so we put it further along and added a story about it so that that could better visualize ""Alligator Escalator"" (by John Adams). Challenges? Playing outside Lake Hiawatha Center in gale force winds; their designated room was too full of gear on the day we arrived. Concentration was not good in a couple cases due to the 100 degree heat of the afternoon. When we repeat this, we also will write up some basic expectations about listening to music for the counselors to convey prior to our arrival: we found some counselors prepared the children for the experience much better than others, and the children were especially receptive. Also when we repeat this experience, we will have different musicians talk with the children, not just one focal person, so as to more fully engage them with each instrument. Sunshine Concerts did reach our intended community, kids aged 6 - 12 and their parents, plus community members. Our intention was to reach kids, people of less economic means, and according to the musicians' and staff reports, we reached a significantly higher proportion of racially diverse people than in our concert season. Staging these concerts in the Rec Centers meant that not only were there day care kids in the concerts, but in two instances, many people voting nearby heard music and stopped in to enjoy the music as well. General public attendees found out thru our web-site, the Park and Recreation Board web-site, posters in the centers and in coffee shops nearby, thru Facebook, ours and theirs, and - this was especially helpful - e-letters sent out by the individual centers. Handicap accessibility to the centers allowed at least one child with multiple disabilities and oxygen to attend; he couldn't speak, but took the violinist's hand and kissed her afterwards. Because of the geographical spread of the centers, we played for all races and ethnicities served by the city parks. Feedback from centers included: Nokomis: ""one of the highlights of the summer.

We will work to gather zip codes or we will ask people to place a pin on a map to measure our geographic reach. We will also count audience members, survey participating artists and have a post-season debrief meeting with the organizing committee.","The underlying story in this project is about the residents of this scenic river valley being woken up to the arts in their midst. In the end, 203 people experienced the Pop-up Performances at Marine Art Fair, 120 at Abnet Farm and 93 (rain) at Afton Art in the Park. One audience member was overheard telling another, ""Hey, that's my neighbor"" as she pointed out Brian Wicklund. The artistic goals of ArtReach’s mobile art gallery and the Pop-up Performances extend the goals of the organization. Below the stated goal is a description of how the goal was achieved. Highlighting the work of artists who live and work in the Saint Croix Valley. The Pop-up Performances highlighted the work of musicians from Marine on St Croix and Stillwater, Minnesota. Brian Wicklund's first performance of the series was at the Marine Art Fair which is also a fundraiser for the village's fire department and EMT department of which he is an active volunteer. Blue Hazard includes musicians from Marine, Stillwater and beyond three of these musicians were students of Wicklund's. The artist selection was deliberate and in the end, ArtReach was able to introduce these musicians to their neighbors and others in the region. Wicklund performs frequently out of the area and Blue Hazard is an emerging group. In this way, we felt as if our goal of connecting audiences to St Croix Valley artists was achieved. Sharing the confluence of arts and nature that give the region its unique identity. The Mobile Art Gallery and the Pop-up Performances are based on the notion of finding ""artful ways to interact with the land"" and of finding surprising and delightful ways to present art in unexpected places. During the fall art fairs residents and visitors to the St. Croix Valley explore the area through the arts. However, ArtReach works to extend this message by building content that works at the confluence of art and nature. Connecting visitors to a sense of place and residents to a sense of home through the arts. People's arts experience was deepened through the Pop-up Performances because of the multi-sensory Sunday morning event. You could smell the fair's coffee booth and kettle korn stand. You could hear contemporary bluegrass from the temporary venue and you could see the bright graffiti ""STX"" on the back of the Mobile Art Gallery beckoning you from across the art fair. The first weekend (two performances and Instrument Petting Zoo) were very smooth, very well-received and very exciting. The planning team was overwhelmed with emotion after the long months of building, planning, anticipating, etc. to see it come together like a dream. The musicians were uber professionals and the sound system was ideal for the setting. The majority of the audience was passing by rather than sitting to enjoy the full performance. On the beautiful sunny day people lingered longer, but on the drizzly day this definitely impacted the audience numbers and their experience of the music. In both instances, we decided we should have set the chairs up more like a cafe (with small groupings) rather than rows. This would allow people to pop up and down more easily and would be a little less intimidating. I think it would be easy to add an instrument petting zoo to the end of each performance in the future, but it would be good to find a way to make this inviting to adults too. Our community can be described as a part rural/ part 3rd or 4th ring suburban community, with a small and growing population of minorities. As the center of our geography, Stillwater is often the hub of our programs, but we hosted the Pop-up performances at a farm just north of Stillwater, in Marine on St Croix and in Afton. These art fairs are popular because they do not happen in the Twin Cities. ArtReach successfully reached our intended audience by planning and implementing the Pop-up Performances at the Valley's fall art fairs. In this way, we had a bit of a built in audience and we could rely on our art fair partners to amplify our marketing about the new Mobile Art Gallery. We also attracted music lovers to the art fairs at a time of the weekend when the art fairs are a little slower. Our Pop-up performances drew very small children, the elderly and everyone in between. We attracted a larger number of young adults than we had expected in part because of our selection of Blue Hazard. Bicyclists dismounted to stand along the edges of the crowd at Marine and artists left their booths to join the audience if they could. It is difficult to know if our outreach efforts resulted in attendance by lower income residents. We could have purchased a mailing list to specifically reach out to this portion of our rural and semi-rural area. We received a lot of great press about the Mobile Art Gallery, the Pop-up Performances and the Instrument Petting Zoo, in this way we met our goals for communicating to the broadest possible public about these free events. Other communication pieces included a postcard mailed to ArtReach's list and distributed to public places in the Valley. We also distributed an electronic version of the postcard and posted flyers on bulletin boards in the area. Facebook updates were used to spread the word from ArtReach, but also from Brian Wicklund and from Blue Hazard. A Facebook event was created and we boosted the reach of a post with a paid ad. Overall we received 6433 impressions with 8 posts, an average of 804 impressions per post. At the last minute, we also had an inexpensive opportunity to promote fall events in the City Pages. Since the Pop-up Performances were part of the region's fall art fair season many people happened upon the events. In this way, the Mobile Art Gallery's performances provided an unexpected experience in a unique setting.",,4300,"Other, local or private",12900,,"Gary Kelsey, Greg Seitz, Jami Flanagan, Jay Higgins, Guillermo Cuellar, Lois Duffy, Margaret Pennings, Karen Johnston",0.00,"ArtReach Saint Croix","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the Mobile Art Gallery and Pop-up Performance project featuring fiddle master Brian Wicklund and emerging bluegrass musicians from the group Blue Hazard.

About 50% of the participants will try this experience for the first time. Examples of evaluation methods may include, but are not limited to: surveys of the participants, the visitors; and interviews with the participating artists and representatives of the organizations. There will be participation observation and video recordings of the sessions in order to study them later.","We intended to include in different ways people from the Balkan communities, those who already are interested in the Balkan folklore and to attract some who were new to these cultures. We wanted to include all age groups and different levels of ability to dance the complicated Balkan dances. We also envisaged some who would not want or could not dance but would enjoy watching the others. We succeeded in attracting all these categories, but we would like to have more teenagers and more people from Roseville. The reason that we could not attract more participants from them was that we were spread too thin and could not afford people to visit the local schools, and even the announcement in the Roseville Lutheran Church newsletter was not published because of change of editor and loss of connection. We could have reached out to more dance communities in the neighboring states, as we discovered existed and were willing to travel, in the process of organizing and execution of the project. We still had a wide range of diverse participants. In the classes we saw teenagers dancing together with octogenarians. For the concerts and food came whole families, from the babies to the grandparents, and we had at least six languages spoken during the project. Thanks to the grant we kept our prices at a minimum, and advertised volunteering opportunities for those who would like to trade some of their time for free classes and concerts. The venues were handicap accessible. We have successfully attracted diverse participants and audience but we would like to include more categories and plan to work harder to attract them mainly in the schools and the local higher educational institutions. 200 audience members attended two concerts where 70 dancers and musicians performed on stage. Ten to 25 participants attended 10 classes, with approximately 75 individual participants.

Qualitative: We project that 85% of those in attendance will report that they have enjoyed participating in the interactive storytelling model that we employ. We will have an actual count of audience participants. We will collect open-ended card survey instruments from audience participants.","Quantitative Data: 1,301 students and 535 adults over the three day period. We also used a short survey form to capture audience responses: 98% highly favorable. We have placed the form on our website to solicit additional responses from those who did not do so on site as well as sent it out to our email lists. Yes, we were able to achieve our artistic goals and in the case of the desired audience interaction and participation we think that we exceeded those goals. Each of the professional Master Storytellers did an excellent job of demonstrating the actual artistic quality of oral storytelling as an art form. Each audience gave enthusiastic responses to the artist's engaging performances. In a number of instances the adults appeared to be as ""caught up"" in the narratives the children were. It's a great feeling to see adults and children equally involved. It teaches children that adults can share their creativity and imagination together - without fear of the loss of their ""adult status."" What worked was the narratives and the interaction between professional performer and engaged audience participant. This is something that we always strive to achieve every year because it's a major part of oral storytelling. It's a visual demonstration of the imagination that the Tellers call upon from the audience participants. And it's often very spontaneous, creative and informative. It's part and parcel of the African form of storytelling. That is to say that in spite of how often a story is told or how many times it is heard, the difference is in the audience participation which ensures that the ""story"" is forever different! Each of the things that we have said are the strengths of our artistic process: evoking the imagination and imagery of the stories; involving the audience as participants in the actual narrative; including the audience participants' responses as part of the narrative and encouraging all to immerse themselves as part of the performance. Likewise the challenges are a direct result of what we strive to achieve. It's an emotional, high-energy, draining experience to see the audience for the first time and work hard to ensure that they accompany you on the narrative journey. The audience's involvement requires sincere work on the part of each Teller. That same response is what recharges each of us as well. At the end of each day, it's great to know that the audience came. It's even greater to know that they left feeling uplifted and informed. We were indeed successful in reaching our desired audiences. It was just as we had identified in our initial proposal. It was very diverse in terms of age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and ability. We held all of our events in venues that were handicapped accessible and provided ASL interpreters for our storytelling events.

Musician survey will show that 85% or more see artistic growth over the past four seasons (tenure of the current Music Director). The method for evaluating the concert attendees and paid guests will be via ticket count and box office revenues. The musician survey will be conducted online at the end of the season and will provide an opportunity for all members and substitutes to give input.","One of our proposed outcomes was having 1,500 concert attendees and 1,000 paid guests. We had 909 paid guests and 1,182 concert attendees. Our other outcome was to have 85% or more of the musicians see artistic growth over the past four years. Survey results indicated that 82% of the musicians were seeing growth. We reached a large number of young people and got them excited about classical music. The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra’s goals for this project were to present works of living composers as well as standard classics in order to maintain and stimulate interest in classical orchestral music. We feel that we achieved these goals this year by presenting four diverse subscription concerts, plus a side-by-side performance with students from the Bloomington High Schools’ string programs. One of our artistic challenges was choosing repertoire that stretched the musicians as individuals and as an ensemble. The repertoire for this project included well-known pieces like Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique. It also introduced lesser-known pieces like Shostakovich’s First Symphony, which is not performed frequently, as well as the world premiere performance of Grant Luhmann’s Flute Concerto. The orchestra was challenged by Manny Laureano’s uncommon interpretation of Symphonie Fantastique, and by learning the Flute Concerto, which had never been heard before! There was no recording of the Flute Concerto available because of the extended techniques the piece required. However, the musicians rose to the occasion during every artistic challenge, putting their best effort forward, to achieve a strong musical outcome. The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra also undertook a mighty challenge by presenting music from all of Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle operas, in a concert featuring a cast of ten singers and a narrator. This repertoire was challenging from a language perspective (music with notes written in German, score with notes written in Italian), from a musical perspective and from a personal preparation perspective. This experience caused the musicians and Music Director to confront the importance of repertoire selection and personal and ensemble preparation. One way we will try to encourage personal practice in the future is by making the parts available on our private members-only website as early in the season a possible, so musicians can download and practice their parts earlier in the season. We hope that a small effort like this will motivate people to practice early and often, and make it easy for people to get the music or parts they need to do so. The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra’s community goals were to serve the audience, the City of Bloomington community and the musicians. We met all three of these goals. We served our audience by presenting diverse programs that were of interest to old and new audience members alike. Audience surveys told us that more familiar programs were more likely to make people want to attend our concerts and conversely, unfamiliar programs were not the reason people attended. In the future, we will strive to message our programs so that all concerts will be compelling to potential attendees. The City Bloomington and its businesses, schools and nonprofit organizations were impacted by our project through venue rental fees and supporting local workers. All venues were easy to locate, handicapped accessible, well-lit for ease in reading program notes, and offered generous, free parking for audience and musicians. According to concert surveys, about 25% of our audience lives in Bloomington. About 25% of our audience members indicated their intention to dine out in the City of Bloomington before or after a Bloomington Symphony Orchestra concert, which provided indirect income to local businesses. Our musicians were served by preparing quality, challenging repertoire. We had the chance to perform the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 4, under the baton – or rather, bow – of our concertmaster and soloist Michael Sutton. 80% of the musicians who completed the survey felt the 2016-17 season repertoire was enjoyable to play and appropriately challenging. We reached a very age diverse audience with our project. 60% of our audience self-identified as being 60 years of age or older. We distributed 130 free student tickets over the length of the project, which means 11% of our audience was made up of young people. We were able to serve not only our traditional older audience, but also a diverse group of young people, which was very exciting for us. In the area of accessibility, we had a busload of seniors from the Mount Olivet Lutheran Home in Minneapolis, who attended a concert. We also had a group of home-school students who attended a concert. We also worked with each of these groups to make sure it was accessible to them in terms of physical need (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.) and the opportunity to meet with the Music Director after the concert (home school group). We would like to increase our reach to both of these groups and will do so by making sure more groups know about our concerts and discounts we can offer to make attending more accessible to them. Another way we made our project accessible, was to players. We have one player who has Parkinson’s and needs some assistance to make it possible for her to play. Everything from helping her carry in a special chair, to allowing her to miss rehearsals when she was not well enough to attend, were important ways that we helped her to be able to play and contribute to the success of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra.",,45580,"Other, local or private",55580,,"Rebecca Jyrkas, Brianna Wassink, Laila Stainbrook, Matthew Cummins, Charlotte Bartholomew, Kristin Brinkmann, Jenna Loeppke, Daniel Mollick, Brian Rule",0.00,"Bloomington Symphony Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 2016 - 2017 season consisting of four public performances featuring symphonic repertoire and a collaborative concert with the Bloomington Jefferson and Kennedy High School Orchestras.

Results will be gathered via survey given to all program participant families.","In our survey, feedback was unanimous that all children gained knowledge in theater arts as a result of our theater educational program. This is a great success to our program. Every child should grow and the parents are seeing that result. In order for our program to feel successful, every child should experience personal growth within the range of skills we teach. Our goal is that every child feels a part of the whole production. Each child learns that every role within a production is important. We feel these goals were achieved. For example, there were a couple young boys (3rd graders) that were assigned the role of trumpeter. At first, they didn't feel it was a role. By production time, the trumpeters had 4 scenes and multiple blocking that needed to be used. This was in addition to the roles in the chorus. The boys came up to me, the choreographer, and said, ""This trumpeter role is really turning out to be a big deal."" This is one of many examples. As always, this is a strength in that we can do this for everyone in the cast. It is a challenge to find and deliver all these opportunities. Another challenge we faced was ensuring that the younger group, our Rising Stars, also felt a part of the whole production. Their show runs prior to the main show and they can feel isolated. They come and go at different times from the ""big"" kids. We did do some joint learning sessions, but think that next year we will incorporate more of those opportunities. Our Junior Director program worked better than the prior year. This year we assigned the Junior Directors to shadow different production personnel. Most Junior Directors had a primary assignment and a secondary assignment. That allowed for them to learn multiple facets of the show in depth. It also helped to cover absences. At show time we put the Junior Directors in teams of 2. They were each assigned an area to work the shows in those teams. We had a Stage Left a Stage Right and an Audience Stage team. The helpers worked well to facilitate all the children and their props. We feel that this was very successful and will expand upon it next year. We worked hard to advertise our program throughout the community. We utilized print and social media. We used an ASL interpreter. We had a free preview night. Our preview night was attended, but we hope to have more attend in future years. We were able to accommodate some children with special sensory needs. We had some senior community members attend. A group that wanted to attend from the local assisted living facility was unable to attend due to last minute transportation challenges. Overall, our attendance numbers were similar to prior years. This was the first year we sold tickets, but our attendance didn't change. We kept ticket prices low in order to make it accessible and that strategy seemed successful. Even with those successes, we are working to include more groups in our preview night experience. We have already arranged for someone to head a committee to work on this - specifically targeting the special needs community. In addition, we are increasing our network of assisted living homes and branching further outside of Forest Lake. As always, all children who register for our program are able to participate and are accommodated. Scholarships are offered to those in need.

Because all new choreography and story lines were incorporated dancers and audience alike not only expressed satisfaction with the artistic challenge but were amazed at the intricacies and high quality of the performance. Many declared Chinese American Association of Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater's performance on par with any performance in China! Artistic goals were met. Original challenging choreography was taught and performed by dancers at all levels, including juxtaposing various styles appropriate for flexibility and strength, highlighting classical as well as some more modern trends. Programming for audiences was new and exciting, a story centered around family traditions, highlighting art forms of embroidery and porcelain making, very appropriate to celebrate the year of the rooster, representing hard work. Staging and lighting incorporated many new techniques not yet seen in the Twin Cities, including realistic projections of interiors and fantasy invoking lighting. Community reached was as expected, families, young and old, various ethnic backgrounds, in the artists and audience, primarily Asians with a significant number of Caucasians came to see the show. Outreach through social media and traditional media continues to bring in new audiences each year as well as sustaining ongoing audiences. Continuing efforts with current audiences allow a base of audience each year. In fact continuing audiences are ask to bring in new audiences. By keeping prices at reasonable level audiences found the show very accessible. Two groups grew this year over the last year bringing in new audiences. As result of mailings to senior communities, the show saw an increase in senior groups coming to enjoy this programming. Also due to the unique nature of the programming and great reviews from audiences on opening night, new audiences came from as far away as Rochester Minnesota. In future Chinese American Association of Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater will strive to draw more audiences from these groups. Chinese American Association of Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater will also continue to look for niche groups with interest in Chinese culture and dance. This production introduced group arrangements and pricing options. Increasing audiences through this method is also an option. Chinese American Association of Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has not changed ticket prices in almost ten years, making it as affordable as can be to audiences. Using the O'Shaughnessy has also allowed many audience members with limited mobility to attend performances. Programming is also intended to appeal to dancers and audience from broad backgrounds with little understanding or immense appreciation for Chinese culture and arts. This year programming was consistent with its programming for 25 years. For dancers the diversity of community also grew, both with geographic and age. Chinese American Association of Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater opened classes in the western Twin Cities suburbs last fall.

Audience surveys and feedback will indicate that a majority of those that attend will leave the Fiesta with a greater sense of neighborhood and of Latino arts and culture. Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio will evaluate the Fiesta Latina via participant feedback and surveys handed out at the event. As well, we will gauge success by tracking social media posts and number of participants who attend the event.","Two outcomes of the arts/cultural components of CLUES Fiesta Latina begin with our ability to showcase the work and artistic efforts of Latino artists and performers in the Twin Cities. The second most significant outcome was the higher than expected attendance at the event. We estimated that 500 people would attend; however, we estimate that close to 1,000 people attended the event. With our first annual Fiesta Latina, CLUES definitely achieved its artistic goals. Our goals with the event were to highlight the richness of Latino arts and culture in the Twin Cities. CLUES promoted Latino arts and culture in two specific ways: highlighting the dance and performance traditions of Latino and Hispanic cultures and we featured John Acosta, a local Latino artist, who led a mural project for participants and for CLUES Youth in Action program. Ten dance troupes representing the cultures of Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain, to name a few, were featured at the event and 25 Latino youth worked on the mural project with John Acosta. Regarding strengths and challenges, the new Fiesta Latina was a significant improvement to our past health fairs. Including arts and culture in the Fiesta Latina increased participation and provided the neighborhood as well as the Latinos who attended the event a sense of civic and cultural pride. Going forward, CLUES would like to increase the arts and culture elements of the Fiesta Latina, perhaps including additional artists and diversifying the genres of Latino arts and culture, perhaps including poetry readings, dramatic presentations, and more music. The CLUES Fiesta Latina reached approximately 1,000 individuals, which was higher than the intended 500. We, indeed, reached our intended audience of Latinos and Dayton’s Bluff neighbors. As well, we are also proud to have provided exposure to Latino artists and performers, who were paid for their time. Regarding promotion, we found that promoting the event via social media to be especially effective. Facebook is more widely used than other social media platforms, so we focused our marketing/communications to Facebook. We created a detailed social media plan for the event, posted almost daily in both Spanish and English, and received a significant amount of shares and likes. As well, we advertised in Spanish focused newspapers. Approximately 80 percent of participants at the event were Latinos. Going forward, although we created postcards and other materials to hand out at area businesses, we would more than likely increase “physical marketing” more next year. As well, although we did a couple of radio interviews about the event, as well as a feature on Univision, increasing radio advertising and interviews about the event would conceivably increase people reached. Because the event was outside in the CLUES parking lot, we felt that the event was accessible to diverse audiences with diverse needs. We had two entrances, which increased the ways in which participants could enter the event and we had ample parking on the street and at an adjacent parking lot.

Then for each, we determined what could be done to make sure that student could participate successfully. For students with the most severe disabilities, they had an assistant with them at all times to help them, which helped a lot.

They will experience and have hands-on active learning in the arts. 100 adults and family members will view the artwork by the youth in showcases presented at each school. This Arts Learning project will be evaluated before and after residencies with reflective conversations and written evaluations from artists, teachers and participants to assess learning. Evaluations will identify 1) what students learned through arts learning residencies; 2) what value the residencies have for teachers, artists, and students; 3) impact on student access to quality arts learning experiences.","This project successfully served the intended community outlined in our proposal. The schools included in this project are attended by youth who qualify for free and reduced lunch at an average rate of 85% and almost half are enrolled in English Language Learning programs. These residencies with professional artists were designed to accommodate English language learners by offering a multi-modal approach to literacy by using less verbal art forms of puppetry, performance, and bookmaking to reinforce lessons in creative writing, language, and poetry. The feedback gathered from “talk-alouds” during program evaluation affirmed that students and teachers alike benefited from the engaging style of learning made possible by East Side Arts Council artists in residence. Phalen Lake Hmong Studies Elementary, Hope Community Academy Hmong Magnet School, Academia Cesar Chavez, and Highwood Hills Academy are vibrantly diverse schools and the artists hired for this program reflected that diversity. Marie Olofsdotter’s experience as an immigrant to the United States is one that is shared by many students at both Phalen Lake and Hope Community Academy, which are attended in great numbers by students who come from predominantly Hmong and Karen immigrant and refugee families. The diverse, mostly Latinx youth at Cesar Chavez were able to see Latinx experiences reflected back at them through a performance of Teatro del Pueblo’s The Adventures of Juan. Malia Burkhart, an artist who is multi-racial and draws from that experience to help youth explore complicated concepts around identity in arts educational settings, was requested specifically for a residency by the staff at Highwood Hills, which is attended by mostly East African youth. Access is at the core of every East Side Arts Council program. For this reason, each school selected for this project is, like all East Side Arts Council program sites, ADA compliant. Classes were free for youth to attend and all artists worked with school staff to adjust as necessary to meet the specific needs of each classroom. It was particularly helpful that artists were able to meet with teachers and each site before their residencies in order to gain the necessary information about the students they would be teaching so they were better equipped to prepare. Artists and teachers checked in throughout the residency to ensure all access needs were being adequately met. According to extensive program evaluation and feedback, this project was very successful and we would not change anything about the way it was delivered if we are given the opportunity to offer it again.

The following outcome indicators will measure success. 100% of students will identify an idea they wish to pursue for a photography or sound project; 90% of students will demonstrate increased understanding of concepts relative to composition in photography and sound; 90% of students will be able to describe their editing process and how it helped them better ex-press the idea of feeling they were trying to convey; 80% of students who participate will create at least one photography or sound project they feel comfortable presenting; 80% of students will report they enjoyed exercising their creativity in new ways; and 80% of students will be able to describe at least one positive thing they learned about the students in the other Out-of-School Time program, their community, or their artwork. We will use a pre- and post-test to assess interest and measure knowledge gained; information will be tabulated to compile percentages. We will also ask students to write a brief artist statement about both themselves as artists and the art pieces they have created; these artist statements will be created as a guide book to the artwork created during the workshops.","INTENDED COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY DIVERSITY: With this project, we successfully reached our intended communities: the students who attend East Side Neighborhood Services’ Out-of-School-Time programs at Menlo and Heritage. At Menlo, 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and 85% of students are people of color. Heritage serves youth ages 12-20 who are primarily of East African/Somali heritage. Our youth come from the southeast and northeast Minneapolis, and most of the families we serve are below or at 100 -200% of the poverty line. Many of our students come from very large families and are typically first and second generation Americans. For many of the youth at Heritage, finding ways to communicate the complexity of the multiple lives they live on a daily basis - daughter/son, translator, student, religious scholar, and American Muslim teenager - is very difficult. Through this project, students at Menlo were able to connect more deeply with the Northeast-based Six Families collective, and students at Heritage were able to connect more deeply with Somali photography Mohamud Mumin. In addition, students at Menlo and Heritage begin connecting together and learning about each other’s communities. Students also had the ability to present their work at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Gallery and the work was left up for one week following the opening, which allowed students to show their work to people who might not otherwise experience it Parents and sibling of students, teachers from the schools, and Youth Department staff from East Side all attended the final event along with artist from the community. At our final showing approximately 100 people showed up to see the work; this group was a mix of ages, ethnicities, and genders. Since our students and artists come from diverse backgrounds, this project was designed and executed by people from diverse communities. Our final performance brought two groups of alternative high school students together, during a transitional time in their lives to tell their stories using art forms that allow them to communicate how they feel, what they see in the world, and how it sounds to them. Friends, family members, teachers, youth workers, and siblings invited to the final performance gained insight into their unique viewpoint, and the world that they navigate daily. ACCESSIBILITY. East Side Neighborhood Services’ Out-Of-School-Time programming is accessible by design. We provided transportation for youth via bus passes and vans whenever necessary. A healthy snack was served every day. Any student at Menlo or Heritage who was signed up for afterschool and interested in attending was able to attend. No additional access needs existed within our group, though we were prepared to hire translators if needed. Thirty-four students from Menlo and Heritage attended at least one arts workshop with 90% creating at least one photography or sound project that they felt comfortable presenting. Additionally, 90% demonstrated an increased understanding of concepts relative to composition in photography and sound.",,2500,"Other, local or private",12500,,"Michael J Burns, Terry Butorac, Dan Christian, Steve Dunphy, Hamdy El Sawaf, Robert Foster, Michael Giefer, Douglas W Helm, Curt Holewa, Harvey Johnson, Judy Larson, Andrew Martin, Michelle Mercer, Michael Miller, Robert Miller, Nikki Neubauer, Susan O'Reilly, Robert Rand, Donette Rico, Gloria Sheehan, Dennis Spalla, John Thompson, Kathy Waite, Tina Walman",0.00,"East Side Neighborhood Services","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for workshops exploring the theme of composition through sound and photography over 12 weeks during spring of 2016 for youth at East Side Neighborhood ServicesÆ Menlo VIBE and Heritage VIBE Out-of-School Time Programs.",2016-01-27,2016-07-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Nancarrow,"East Side Neighborhood Services","1700 2nd St NE",Minneapolis,MN,55413,"(612) 781-6011 ",pnancarrow@esns.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-664,"Masami Kawazato: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Sam Stahlmann: Artistic, youth programming, organizational development; Jessica Peterson: General management; Melinda Ludwiczak: Community Education, education, general administration; Christian Novak: Fundraising, audience development; Crystal Brinkman: Youth programming, artistic; Kate Lawson: General management; Harrison Rivers: Artistic.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

35895,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Our project will involve 25 artists in the creation and performance of the show and related workshops, 1,200 adult audience and workshop members and 400 youth audience and workshop attendees. Through our audience surveys, our audience and workshop attendees will express a 90 % positive response to our work. We will use ticket sales and audience count to track numbers, post-performance surveys to evaluate responses to our work, surveys to measure artist participation feedback, and anecdotal evidence from post-performance discussions. We will also track both numbers and feedback from workshops related to the production.","Our three most significant outcomes were our artistic success in the face of great challenges as indicated by the positive responses by reviewers, audiences and participating artists, the impact upon our audiences as indicated by the comments on surveys and post show discussions and the diversity of all involved in the production whether artists, audiences (from audience surveys) or reviewers. We truly achieved our artistic goals by mounting our production of 46 plays from the anthology 365 Days/365 Plays by Suzan-Lori Parks, at Penumbra Theatre. We ultimately had five directors (Rick Shiomi, Martha Johnson, Harry waters Jr., Stephanie Lein Walseth and La Trujillo) and ten cast members and seven designers (Dan Keyser, Karin Olson, Patricia Brown, Trevor Bowen, Malick Ceesay, Quinci Bachman and Michelle Barnes) work together to produce a seamless two act main stage production that received very positive responses from the media, peers and audiences. We received extensive coverage including reviews in the Star Tribune, City Pages and several major bloggers (Jill Schafer of Cherry and Spoon, John Olive in HowWasTheShow and Matthew Everett of Single White Fringe Geek). These quotes sum up the media response: ""I’ll just get this out of the way up front. Go. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this production. It will renew your faith in the power and purpose of theater. It is a delight."" Matthew Everett and ""In fact, this show, this cast, this theater with their mission of diversity, representation, and justice, is exactly what we need in this post-Hamilton world. A world in which all of us are represented in the stories we tell."" Jill Schafer. Audience responses on our post show surveys consistently reflected how challenging, thought provoking and engaging our production was. A survey via Survey Monkey of cast members showed scores of 4.9 out of 5 about diversity in the production, 4.5 out of 5 for artistic success and 4.1 out of 5 for positive experience showed how successful the production was from their perspective. In speaking with several peers, we were told that our production had a really positive ""buzz"" in the theater community because of controversies about other productions in the community. The whole process worked generally as designed but not without challenges. There were casting changes and various discussions among participating artists about differing interpretations of some of the 46 plays. The primary strength of the production was the experience, talent and willingness to work together of the directors, cast, designers and crew. The primary artistic challenge was the complications of presenting 46 different plays in one production. The technical challenges alone were enormous but ultimately overcome. There was no artistic challenge or obstacle that we weren't able to overcome. We would probably reduce the number of plays by about six. It would make the production a little less complicated and make each act a little shorter (to make each act about 50 min rather than 56 min). We would not have one person (Quinci Bachman) end up doing three jobs on the production (general manager for the company, stage manager and co-sound designer). She ended up as our stage manager because the person we originally hired to do that job had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts. We reached our goal of engaging our intended communities. We were able to bring in audience members from a wide range of community based organizations such as Neighborhood House (youth and English Language Learners members), The Wilder Center for Communities (youth group), Center for Hmong Arts and Talent (Hmong youth leaders), New Native Theater members, East Side Library, Equity Alliance Minnesota, Japanese American Citizens League and VSA Minnesota. For our production, 122 (of approximately 500 attendees) completed surveys, and of this subgroup, 46% were Anglo or European Americans and 54% were non-Anglo/European: 22% various ethnicities of Asian American, 9% African American, 5% Native American, and 18% Latino/Black Latino, Mixed Race, or Other. Ages ranged from 52% in their 40s or younger, to 48% in their 50s – 80s. Income levels ranged from 15% under $20K annually, to 32% $20 – $49K, to 29% $50K - $99K, to 26% over $100K. And finally, a part of the success was the response of audience through the post show surveys and discussions. Here are some examples of the type of comments on the surveys: “I like Radical Inclusion…It will keep working on me. “Absolutely fantastic. I got lost in it.” “This was a really entertaining and thought provoking play!” “Absurdist—helped me see new ways of viewing plays, different set of expectations,” and “So many powerful pieces and keeps me thinking! I can’t even finish my thoughts before the next play! Great production!” In terms of artists we were able to cast a wide range of actors: Of the ten actors, four were African American, two were Asian American, two were Euro American, one was Latino and one was Native American. There was an age range from the mid-sixties to mid-twenties and there were five women and five men. The production team had eight African Americans, two Asian Americans, two Latino, one with mixed Native American and Euro American heritage and nine Euro Americans. Our general manager/stage manager/co-sound designer is of the disability community as well. And in our production team the balance of men to women was nine men and thirteen women. We were also able to reach the media effectively with reviews or articles in both major media (Star Tribune and City Pages) and the emerging Twin Cities Theater Bloggers world (John Olive of HowWasTheShow, Jill Schafer of Cherry and Spoon, Laura Van Zandt of One Girl Two Cities, Mathew Everett of Single White Fringe Geek, Becki Iverson of Compendium and Hailey Colwell of MN Playlist). And their response was very positive across the board. In terms of numbers fell considerably short of our projected goal. We were aiming for one thousand six hundred participants and ended up with about six hundred. We believe there several factors involved in this shortfall such as our performances opened on the Memorial Day weekend, the nature of our production of 46 plays proved harder to market than expected and we are still a relatively new company just beginning to build our base following.",,36200,"Other, local or private",46200,,"Gregory Anderson, Ross Peterson, Christina Ogata, Michael Katz, Ken Ujifusa, Martha Johnson, Rick Shiomi, David Hwang, Cochise Anderson, Rose Chu, Don Eitel, Ricardo Vazquez, Harry Waters Jr, Jennifer Weir",0.00,"Full Circle Theater Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce a set of 46 plays selected from the anthology 365 Days/365 Plays written by the Pulitzer Prize winning author Suzan-Lori Parks.

Attendance will be evaluated via ticket sales. The project will be evaluated via post-show audience talk-back conversations and online artist and audience surveys.","The most significant outcome for Gadfly is the growth of our community. 56% of artists, both on stage and technical, had never participated in a Gadfly production. Most of those were not aware of the organization before joining this production. That sort of growth is vital to the quality of future productions. Over 30% of the audience was new to Gadfly. Those new patrons are how we can expand. Goal 1: engage at least 4 artists new to the Gadfly community. This goal was met. 7 of the 15 artists were new to the Gadfly community. This happened through specific outreach to local arts organizations serving youth artists, and through paid marketing of audition and technician calls. This targeted approach, investing both time and money in reaching out to communities we often don't engage with, was very effective. We would repeat this process to find new artists. Goal 2: bring in at least 30 patrons from the local geek community. This goal was met. Show postcards were placed at local geek centric businesses, including a yoga studio, dance classes, coffee shop, and gaming stores. We also connected with Twin Cities Geek, an online forum. Through that organization, we were able to get a review of the show from the perspective of their gaming and pop culture blogger. This review brought a surge of ticket sales in the second weekend, presumably from the local geek and gaming communities. Goal 3: collaborate with local gaming community for post-show discussions. This goal was not met. When we set this goal, we did not know how much work would be taken on by the board in taking running a rehearsal and performance venue. The additional workload did not leave enough time to organize facilitated talkbacks. However, board members reported hearing conversations happening after the show between audience members and artists that were similar to our talkback goals. Many audience members spoke about using role playing games as a way to work through real-life situations. The actors spoke on the things they had learned about being a queer teen in the 90's, when this play was set. Not having facilitated talkbacks is our biggest disappointment of this project. We have discovered that the talkbacks are a vital part of our artistic and community engagement process. Most of the time, our work is outside the traditional theatre box in some way. Giving the audience and artists a chance to come together and discuss what happened on stage helps both process the themes of our shows. Future projects will have at least one talkback scheduled during the run of the production. We were able to successfully reach our intended community of artists through carefully targeted marketing of audition calls. This resulted in a diverse group of artists- 64% were under age 18, 55% identify as a race or ethnicity other than white/non-Hispanic, and 55% identify as members of the queer community. The population of our audience was more than 25% white/non-Hispanic, which was higher than our original goals. However, it does fall in line with the demographic breakdown of Minneapolis, so we feel we are still on the right track with our demographics. Our outreach efforts did bring in a community that does not typically attend our productions, through specific work within the geek and gaming communities. We are pleased with this result. Our initial goal was to have 120 people attend this show. Over the two weekend run, 153 people attended the production. One of our biggest goals for accessibility is to keep productions financially accessible to members of the community. To that end, we had two pay-what-you-can shows, inviting the community at large to attend, regardless of what they could offer for a ticket price. Overall, 23% of our audience used a discounted ticket to attend the show. We continue to see these as very successful opportunities to open the door to the world of live theatre for individuals who do not have the financial means to attend other productions.

We changed the actual population benefited to “individuals below the poverty line” because 86% of the students we worked with at the three schools qualified for free or reduced price lunch based on their income level. It is the goal of Heart of Dance to make Dancing Classrooms accessible to all students with accommodations for religious practices, language differences, and for students with physical and mental disabilities. All three schools we worked with were ADA-accessible, as well as the location of the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match. We were able to make adjustments for students that were unable to dance, making sure they were still included in the group somehow. For example, at Benjamin E. Mays World School there was an autistic boy that would not dance and had such high anxiety that being involved in the dance circle was detrimental. He became the class DJ and Teaching Artist Assistant, which gave him a sense of responsibility in the group. He was able to connect with his classmates in a way that felt comfortable to him, yet kept him involved in the program. 184 students from three Twin Cities elementary schools learned to dance through Dancing Classrooms. 86% of surveyed parents of participating students reported that they saw a positive change in the way their children felt about themselves as a result of the program.",,12395,"Other, local or private",22395,,"Dennis Yelkin, Nell Collier, Chris Kempainen, Dede Ouren, Jill Smith, Ha Toung, Greg Warner, Leslie Whitney, Joyce Thompson, John Sandgren, Patricia Harmon, Jessi Fett, Shane Haggerty",0.00,"Heart of Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for Dancing Classrooms, a program that provides ballroom dance lessons to fifth-graders at Four Seasons A+ Elementary School, Benjamin E Mays World School, and Friendship Academy of the Arts during the fall of 2016.",2016-08-15,2016-12-23,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ember,"Reichgott Junge","Heart of Dance","500 Grant St E Ste 1308",Minneapolis,MN,55404,"(612) 750-1262 ",heartofdancemn@outlook.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-667,"Thomas Surprenant: Administration, artistic, youth programming; Yumi Inomata: Administration, volunteerism, education; Brandon Bagaason: Artistic, education, youth programming; Kate Sheldon: Artistic, education; Jerri Neddermeyer: Artistic, education, administration; Mary LaGarde: Administration; Julia Floberg: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

The Hopewell Orchestra will advance in American String Teachers Association standards by one level and 75% of Hopewell Students being mentored by the Minnesota Sinfonia will indicate their playing ability was enhanced due to this partnership. Hopewell Music will evaluate the project's success in building audience through audience counts at Hopewell Orchestra concerts during the project period. Hopewell will survey its Orchestra students at the end of the project and will use The American String Teacher Association Evaluation Standards at the beginning and end of the project period to evaluate the advancement of the Orchestra.","The most significant outcome is the increased confidence of our orchestra members. The Sinfonia musicians' helped players feel confident in their abilities which resulted in great improvement of the ensemble. As a result, orchestra members have shown pride in the group which is shown by their inviting more friends and family to concerts and to join the ensembles. The Hopewell Orchestra Advancement Project exceeded all of our artistic goals. Our primary goal was to increase the playing ability and level of repertoire of the orchestras by one level over the course of 1 year using the standards of the American String Teacher Association and the National School Orchestra Association. We performed 5 pieces on our first concert at an average level of 2.6. Our second concert was a turning point in which we drastically cut the number of pieces we worked on, but raised the average level of the music from 2.6 to 4. By our final concert we went back to a more robust program and performed 5 pieces at an average level of 4.2. We exceeded our goal by .6 Our second goal was to that 75% of orchestra members mentored achieved felt their playing ability enhanced by the program. When given an anonymous survey in June, 100% of the orchestra members felt their playing ability was enhanced by the Orchestra Advancement Project. The mentors from the Sinfonia made a significant impact because they both helped the orchestra members individually and as an ensemble. Because the overall sound of the group improved, the orchestra members felt more confident as musicians. The Sinfonia members built relationships with Hopewell musicians by offering extra time, working one-on-one with struggling players, and donating instruments to help build the orchestra. The Hopewell Community Orchestra has more room to grow in our audience development. Although we met our goals numerically, we were actually hoping to exceed our goals and build a more diverse audience base at the concerts held in our home location. The Hopewell Orchestral Advancement Project is helping us improve the quality of our performances which is helping us to build our audience base. Because of the success of our final concert, we were invited to perform for the grand opening celebration of the Webber Library. This performance proved to be a great opportunity for reaching new audiences and building community partnerships. We discovered that as the skills and playing level increased, we needed more time for preparation, this proved both a strength and a challenge. Planning concerts and preparing rehearsals took more time as the year progressed because we were able to work at a higher level of detail. Orchestra members found they needed to put more time and thought in practicing at home. In the end, everyone put more time and effort in the project but the results were outstanding. The only possible change we would consider is to partner with additional organizations to benefit from their expertise. We reached our intended community, but plan to be intentional in diversifying our reach in the future. The estimated population benefiting from our program matched the actual population served. Since the start of this program we have gained 5 new orchestra members a 41% increase in participation. The age range of the new members ranged from 7-59. Although the ethnic demographics did not change dramatically, continuing the current rate of growth stands to further diversify our ensemble. Accessibility is intrinsic to the structure of our program, but one example of how we met our goal of accessibility and the strength of the partnership involves one our new members who is a cellist. She relies on public transportation, but cannot transport a large instrument safely on the bus so we for her to borrow one of the Hopewell cellos at no cost. Keeping a cello for her on-site allowed her to participate consistently in orchestra.

The program began in September 2016 and came to completion on April 28th, 2017. Participants were selected from In Progress’s base of existing networks of youth involved in school and community based activities. Criteria for selection were based on 3 key elements: 1. A curiosity to learn from others; 2. Commitment to participation; 3. A history of producing in video, music, photography or writing. The original intention was to begin the program with a complete group of participants already identified. Because the program required a high level of commitment, one group of 14 were identified in September, with an additional 6 identified in October. This also ensured that the intended demographic outlined in the proposal could participate. Of the original group of 20 the following demographics were served: Ethnicity: 5% Native American, 5% Middle Eastern, 45% African American, 30% Hmong, 15% Mixed Heritage. Gender: 75% female, 25% male. Income: 90% living in poverty (22% of participants identified as homeless during project), 10% low income. Age: 100% under the age of 20. Once participants were identified – mentors began individualized communication channels with participants. For those that required transportation (40%), bus tokens and rides were provided. Participants were fed snacks and meals as needed. Because individualized learning plans were designed cooperatively with each participant, those with learning disabilities received stylized learning. There was no cost to participation and all out-of-pocket expenses were covered. A similar process will be used next year with this program, as it was proven to be highly successful. By adding past participants as peer mentors and collaborators, we will likely strengthen our ability to maintain engagement over the 8-month mentorship period. 87% of the students completed the project as evidenced through completed web portfolios. 100% demonstrated increased technical and artistic competency as determined by product assessment and pre-post testing.

Following each concert, the Executive Committee will review the audience size, artistic success, revenue generated and the overall success of the concerts. This information will be collated, summarized and analyzed by the secretary and Public Relations officers of the Executive Committee and will include audience participation and count, audience surveys and post-performance oral feedback from artists and Executive Committee members.","For the 2016 fall season, Indian Music Society of Minnesota averaged 250 people/concert, including workshop attendees. Surveys revealed excitement from members of the audience about exposure to the music and the artists, and appreciation of Indian Music Society of Minnesota’s role in bringing this about. We also received numerous requests after every concert for contact information regarding tabla, vocal and instrumental teachers in the area. The fall 2016 Indian Music Society of Minnesota concert season in a manner similar to the previous Fall season, focused on instrumental music (and vocal inspired instrumental styles). We included both senior artists as well as young, upcoming performers representing both Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) genres. The three-concert season as originally planned had included a Hindustani (North Indian) Sarangi recital by Harsh Narayan on September 18, a Carnatic (South Indian) Instrumental duet (jugalbandi) concert featuring the power couple, Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh on the Veena and Maestro R. Kumaresh on the violin on October 9, ending with the Hindustani Bansuri (Bamboo Flute) recital by Pandit Rakesh Chaurasia, with Tabla accompaniment by Aditya Kalyanpur on October 31. The annual community festival of music Aradhana showcasing local talent was also included in the season offerings and was held on November 12. We are confident that we achieved our overall artistic goals. First, we were able to expose both experienced and new audiences to North as well as South Indian styles of Indian classical music and second, we were able to present the entire selection of instruments mentioned in the original grant submission - sarangi, violin, veena, mridangam, flute and tabla. However, the sarangi performance originally planned for September 18 had to be cancelled. The reason for the cancellation was that Harsh Narayan, the main artiste, did not obtain his travel visa in time and consequently had to forgo his entire USA tour. Ensuring that the selected artist/accompanist combination is able to perform on the day and at the venue agreed upon is a persistent (and growing) challenge that is, unfortunately, here to stay for the foreseeable future as the visa granting process becomes steadily more cumbersome for touring artistes. Fortunately for us, Pandit Pankaj Mishra, an equally accomplished sarangi player, was also on a North American tour in the fall and agreed to perform on November 6 with Subhajyoti Guha accompanying on tabla. The setbacks encountered due to visa delays and rejections have motivated us to identify and keep on file, other touring performers of similar caliber as back-up options, early in the concert season. All concerts were outstanding and very well received. The two workshops conducted by Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh following the veena/violin duet in October were also a resounding success, and helped improve the quality of the music while boosting the confidence of the participants in the community festival, Aradhana, that took place on November 12 at the Hindu Temple of Minnesota. The small ticket price increase that had been put in place in 2015 still kept our prices low, by most standards, and well within the reach of the general public, particularly students and seniors, while allowing us to accommodate artists' fee increases and continue to showcase the very best of Indian classical music in accordance with our mission. Our aim was to increase the awareness and understanding of the rich diverse traditions of Indian classical music in the Greater Twin Cities. For Fall 2016, again, our theme was instrumental music. We presented both North and South Indian styles and included the violin, veena (South), bamboo flute, (North) and percussion instruments, mridangam and tabla. The concert series made it possible for Indian and non-Indian Twin Cities’ residents to experience live classical music performed by world-renowned senior and talented upcoming younger artists visiting from India, as well as by artists residing in the USA and local Minnesota talent. In addition to seasoned listeners and connoisseurs of music, the performances were also able to draw the uninitiated and younger generation non-Indians to a unique musical experience, and to reach community members of diverse ethnic backgrounds and economic status. Invaluable educational experience was offered to students of music, in performance format and in workshop and classroom format. The explanations, lectures and workshops, in particular, helped to make the unrelenting classical style of music a little less daunting and more approachable to first timers. Last, but not least, with the Aradhana community festival, we staged a performance that promoted local (Greater Twin Cities) talent of all age groups, backgrounds and skill levels, and helped to improve community participation and awareness. The audience, as expected, comprised largely of Indian community members drawn from the greater Twin Cities. For the first veena/violin duet, 50% were of Indian background, 30% were Caucasian, 10% African Americans and 10% were represented by other ethnic groups. The Oct 31st and Nov 6th events, the bamboo flute concert had a slightly different demographic, attracting more community members of non-Indian ethnic background and more young people than the previous event. This might have had to do with the exotic nature of the bamboo flute, the relative young age of the performers and the additional student and group discounts that were offered. Indian Music Society of Minnesota’s efforts to ensure accessibility through various means, including educational tools, economic breaks, varied programming, and performance venue standards were also successful. Although general admission ticket prices increased slightly since 2015, non-members could save on online advance tickets. The two venues for the 2016 season, the Performing Arts Center at the Normandale Community College and the Nath Auditorium in Maple Grove, are venues that provide excellent access to those with disabilities, with access ramps to the theater, space for wheelchair seating inside the hall, and handicap access to facilities. A small number of volunteers were at hand to provide rides to and from our concerts in case of need. The availability of these rides and special seating facilities ensured that our senior patrons and members with disabilities were able to attend.",,5950,"Other, local or private",15950,,"Ameeta Kelekar, Mythili Chari, Vineet Sinha, Sriram Natarajan, Jay Patel, Siddharth Iyengar, Sandhya Joshi, Allalaghatta Pavan",0.00,"Indian Music Society of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present the Fall 2016 Concert Series, a series of three chamber concerts featuring internationally renowned artists from India and one community festival of Indian classical music.

The qualitative outcomes are that students discover their creative potential, reach the learner objectives set for each class, create an original work of art from their own unique perspective and show growth in artistic ability, experience, and self-confidence. Quantitative outcomes will be measured by program class/intern/Artist Mentor count and Community Showcase audience count. Qualitative outcomes will be measured by Showcase participation and presentation, pre and post student program evaluations, parent/guardian evaluations, and program team evaluations that include input from Artist Mentors, Hope Staff and teacher assistants.","We reached our intended community as outlined. The diversity of the South Minneapolis/Phillips Neighborhood was reflected by students, interns, and by the 250+ family members and friends attending the Showcase. This continues to be an underserved population of the Twin Cities and Hope Academy has a great need but very few resources for arts programming. Inverted Arts was able to provide quality tools and training by a group of professional and diverse Artist Mentors and put them into the hands of the student participants so they could discover their own creative voices. Our outreach efforts did result in a celebration of community diversity. Student creative voices and stories reflected their own unique perspectives. Evaluation results show positive increases in student creative confidence and self-image. Empowered students in will impact their diverse community through their new-found confidence, creativity and expanded creative dreams. Student creativity affects their families, friends and their interactions with the community. The families and community are affected as they attended the Showcase Celebration and by their presence affirming the value, talent and creative potential of students. We met our accessibility goals with the program was open and accessible to every middle school student at Hope Academy, with a wide range of artistic experiences, a convenient time slot in conjunction with Hope’s Summer Session, free of charge, and transportation and lunches included.

The evaluation will be done by the count of the festival attendees as well as the feedback from the audiences and the participants of the festival.","We were very pleased with a near record attendance this year of 12,000, the second largest gathering for this event on record. The Bon Odori dance program and the other performances were as much a celebration of intercultural ties as a display of Japanese cultural heritage. We will continue to work with the performing groups throughout our community to bring us closer together. The Como Park Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival is modeled after Obon festivals, which are held in August all across Japan to honor the dead, and feature paper lanterns or bonfires. A highlight of these festivals is the bon odori, or folk dance exclusive to the Obon holidays. We invited local musicians, singers, and dancers to lead a bon odori at Como Park as part of an ongoing effort to build an authentic, self-sustaining community-based Japanese folk dance tradition here is Minnesota. In the past, Japan America Society of Minnesota has requested funds for only the Bon Odori program. This has been a successful project for which we appreciate the support of Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. This year, in order to build a stronger entertainment program for the Lantern Lighting Festival, we received a grant for funding to support a larger entertainment offering. It included not only the Bon Odori performance but also performances by other Japan related arts groups in Minnesota. The groups performing were the Chura-Ryukyu Okinawa Sanshinkai (songs and music from Okinawa), Mu Performing Arts (Japanese taiko drummers), Mu-Min (a Japanese chorus) and Mikaharu Kai (a classical Japanese dance troupe), Harisen Daiko (Japanese taiko drummers), Sakura Kai, Sansei Yonsei Kai and Taikollaborative. As it happened, three groups did not perform as planned: Kawa Tatsu Yosakai, the Minneapolis Japanese School, and TaikoAlive. In their place, we added the Ensemble MA group that featured taiko drumming that was well received. The final expense report reflects this change. The funds requested also paid for the rehearsals, a community demonstration at an open house rehearsal for the Bon Odori, and a public performance at the Como Park Lantern Lighting Festival on the evening of Sunday, August 21, 2016. In addition to this traditional performance, a pre-festival demonstration and open house was offered to the community as a way to build excitement and allow community members to gain a more personal and deep understanding of what Minnesota Bon Odori is. The event was held on Monday, July 25th, 2016 at the Christian mission center in Uptown and featured a short demonstration by the artists, a presentation on the Minnesota Bon Odori traditions, and an hour for socializing and discussion including Japanese appetizers and refreshments. The event provided a window on traditional Japanese culture and also encouraged cultural exchange among a very diverse group of Japanese residents and Americans with an interest in learning more about Japan. Over all the entertainment part of the event went quite well. In the future, we will consider some improvements in advertising the stage location. This year, we had a brand new expansion plan for the venue that featured the stage in a new location of the festival site. Since it was new, the festival attendees were not aware of the change, so a few people had a difficult time finding the main stage. We look forward to having more people enjoy the entertainment in the future. This year's bon odori project continued to bring various performers together to create an authentic bon odori experience and we believe that we made a difference for our audience as well as for the artists. The Minnesota Bon Odori is designed to serve the performing artists as well as the community members who attended the open house and Lantern Lighting Festival. Altogether, nearly thirty artists were given a chance to work with each other providing both the dance, music and the taiko drum parts of the performance. The artists who participated in offering this unique program of artistic collaboration only made possible through this project, and the Twin Cities community at large is able to meet and interact with the artists and learn about Japanese traditional music and dance. Although the cultural heritage of the Minnesota Bon Odori is Japanese, there are multiple communities brought together though its performance; the open house which has drawn about 30-35 people and the festival is open to everyone. This year with the cooperation of the Saint Paul – Nagasaki Sister City Committee in recruiting and directing the entertainment at the main stage, there were 10 groups participating in the full entertainment program. The audience was made of members of the Japan related community with Japanese and American citizens with a Japan connection or a positive interest in Japanese culture. There were families with children and adults as well as seniors in the audience. We view this as an important opportunity to present a unique Japanese folk tradition with the Minnesota Bon Odori and the other performances. The event appealed to Japanese immigrants and Japanese-Americans interested in their cultural heritage, but it also attracted a wide variety of people who have an interest in Japanese culture or have lived in Japan. We also welcomed individuals who have no specific ties with Japan but are curious to learn more about another culture. To ensure that the our project fully embraced the diversity of the community, we advertised both out in the general public through recreational and community centers and Twin-Cities news sources, as well as through community-specific media such as our newsletter and other media that serve the Asian-American community in the Twin Cities. In addition, the pre-festival open house and demonstration allowed a broader section of the community to gain a deeper understanding of the bon odori tradition and Japanese culture. The artists involved, while predominantly of Japanese heritage, did include performers of varying backgrounds and ages. We hope in the future to integrate younger and more diversified artists into the project to guarantee the sustainability of Minnesota’s own bon odori tradition and the lantern lighting festival tradition of Japan in Minnesota.",,3500,"Other, local or private",10500,,"Liz Brailsford, Marc Blehert, Ted Dorenkamp, Shannon Meyer, Chris Armacost, Ayako Birch, Clint Conner, William Mondale, Hiroshi Nakato, Bill Paterson, Sayuri Testa, Richiko Kamata, Elizabeth Fehrmann, Ryan Polzin, Hiroko Shade, Masako Yoshida, JoAnn Blatchley, Kaitlin Ostlie, Bill Pesek, Maggie Quam, Theo Thompson, Beth Blackledge, Lionel Blatchley, Debra Caron, Courtney Hofflander, Jim Kunzman, Thomas Kurihara, Fusako Muro, Robert Palmer, Larry Rossow, TJ Souphaphone, Linda Hashimoto van Dooijeweert, Al Zdrazil",0.00,"Japan American Society of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present bon odori, a traditional Japanese folk dance to be performed during Como Park's Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival in August 2016.

One measure of success will be counting the number of older adults who participate in the learning sessions. A second measure will be the use of participant surveys completed at the end of the arts series which address the proposed outcomes.","Each of the three buildings where we hosted the series has its own unique community of tenants. Graham Place Apartments and the Weinberg Apartments are both buildings for older adult tenants only. Each has a large population of refugees from the former Soviet Union as well individuals who are African American and Caucasian. Montreal Hi-Rise hosts tenants who represent the populations of younger adults with disabilities as well as older adults. Our experience in each building was different. We had the most difficulty drawing participants at the Weinberg. That said, this was the building where we had participants from the former Soviet Union who spoke very limited English mingle together with older Caucasians. One of the Russian participants said ""we never had anything like this in Russia!"" A second participant commented ""I've never seen her (fellow tenant) talk like this -- she is so excited."" The Minneapolis Institute of Art docents noted sharing the art experience seemed to transcend language barriers and with the help of translators, all attendees were able to participate equally. At the Montreal Hi-Rise it was a very diverse group of younger disabled and older adults. Despite the physical and mental challenges several of the participants faced, the Minneapolis Institute of Art docents commented about how respectful and supportive the participants were of each other. This group consistently had the maximum number of participants attend. This was a ""return appearance"" at Graham Place of the Celebrating Life series, as Graham Place was the site of the pilot the previous summer. Several of the previous attendees came back for the series this year. This building had only older adults participate and lacked the most diversity within the group. This group was also well attended with maximum participation at each session. Things we would do differently: 1) We learned that it is important to have an identified champion(s) within each building. These champions can be building staff or tenants (who are seen as leaders in the building). We did not have a champion at the Weinberg, and therefore we were able to draw only 6 participants. When we go back next year, we will work with an identified, enthusiastic tenant to secure her assistance in promoting the event. We already have identified champions at the Montreal Hi-Rise and at Graham Place -- and securing attendance was not difficult at these two buildings. The docents determined that it is important to keep the size smaller -- to a maximum of 12 people -- in order for all participants to have the opportunity to share what they are learning and their arts experience. 2) Despite the enthusiasm for the culminating trip to Minneapolis Institute of Art, several participants cancelled at the last minute. Several said they were not feeling well enough to go; others expressed their anxiety about being able to navigate the museum, despite the assurances of the docents. Likely this will be a consistent problem in the future given the nature of this population.

Z Puppets worked with Tubman staff to distribute and post flyers, connected with Free Arts (an arts organization who had been doing ongoing year-long residency) to ask their advice on how to best recruit participants. Both the staff and Free Arts said that the most effective method was to have the kids' themselves experience it and then spread the word. Both reported that they overheard our core group of youth speaking excitedly about Happy Places to others. The parents' concern for confidentiality was much lower than we anticipated and instead they readily granted permission to share the youth's work publicly even when it included images of their faces. Because confidentiality was not a barrier, the final reached a much wider audience than we had planned, via online and social media opportunities we had via the City of Maplewood.

We will continue to explore the artistic frontier where our model of radical inclusion in participatory performing art making values deep diversity, facilitating learning and creating art works meaningful to all participants. We will track numbers of participants and their staff and rely on on-going feedback from staff and active participation of arts learners to evaluate ongoing success of creating meaningful experiences. Teaching Artists’ reflection evaluates each residency session for participant mastery (integrated skill development and increased mastery in dance, improvisation and storytelling) and socialization, also focusing on highlighting dances and stories that can be developed into performance pieces for the Intergenerational Dance Hall Finale. Kairos Alive! Teaching artists create a dialogue with staff to create on-going evaluation of artistic engagement and direction of thematic material depending on the interests and response of participants. Following each staff Introduction to Moving Well training, each participant will complete a survey to track new learning. At the conclusion of the Residency/Intergenerational Dance Hall Finale, Kairos teaching artist staff will meet with MSS Lauren Hughes and core staff to evaluate the success in mastering stated project goals and outcomes.","Again, we met all goals of this project. We successfully reached our intended community, giving benefit to the intended population. Diversity goals were met of involving people of contrasting ages and physical and cognitive abilities in the dancing/music/story/theater circle. Midwest Special Services, at their venues and with their practices, specialize in provide accessible services to their clients and families. The Minnehaha Park site was accessible to people of all ages and abilities. We used our inclusive accessible interactive participatory involvement methods. Midwest Special Services bused people from their sites to the culminating Minnehaha Park Intergenerational Dance Hall event, as did Walker Methodist Assisted Living in Minneapolis. Included in the event was a group of 8-9 year old day camp children, who were actively involved. In addition, members of Kairos Alive!’s volunteer cohort attended and participated. The Minnehaha event included 160+ participants, half of whom had developmental disabilities. 50 were children below the age of 18. We felt honored to hear this reaction to our Minnehaha event from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council Program Director Kelly Affeldt: “This celebration was just a ton of fun and I was so inspired by your organization’s work. To sit back and observe the absolute JOY that poured out of each person there was food for my soul. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your work as a community member. I have three children, one of whom is the same age as the young students who joined in yesterday. The emotional intelligence of these preteens is quickly developing and I find they are very perceptive to the vibes surrounding them. I really appreciated the fact that you included these kids and provided them with an experience to learn compassion and sensitivity. And in terms of the residents of Walker Methodist Assisted Living and Midwest Special Services - wow! Words and metrics simply cannot do justice to what was experienced yesterday. I watched guarded people open up and I saw people jump out of their wheelchairs and joyfully dance. It was plain to see how fulfilling this day was for each and every one of them! I was so impressed by the way Kairos connected with this community. You were not putting on an event for them - you WERE one of them. So, I wanted to thank you all, not just as someone from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, but as a community member. Each one of you at Kairos is doing extraordinary work and I am crazy about all of you!” Midwest Special Services project manager Lauren Hughes says of this arts learning project with them, “It was amazing to see what dance could bring out in people. Participants enjoyed the music and the direct engagement of dancing one on one with someone else. Kairos’ genuine desire to connect with each participant is so apparent and the participants pick up on that too. This was our second time working with Kairos and everyone was very excited to have them back.” 12 Dancing Heart sessions were conducted with 13-24 client participants and 3-6 staff/volunteers. The Intergenerational Dance Hall had 160 participants, plus 25 Midwest Special Services staff/volunteers.

We also hope that by widening our audience base we will provide new populations exposure to Kathak dance and will promote education about Indian culture and arts (Outcome 2) Post-performance discussions; Workshops evaluation forms; Participants interview; Responses from community leaders; Reflection and evaluation from presenting partners to track outcomes and reactions.""","15 artists performed in Sufiana - The Sufi Ecstasy and in one weekend 733 people attended the shows. Audience surveys showed that 50% of respondents experienced this art form for the first time. Sufiana - the Sufi Ecstasy was a new work collaboratively created by Local artists Rita Mustaphi (vision, direction and choreography) and Dr. Pooja Goswami Pavan (composer and vocalist). The artistic team also includes Dr. A. Pavan (Tabla drum), Greg Herriges (Guitarist), Pankaj Mishra (Sarangi), Abhinav Sharma (Percussionist), Vinod Krishnan (Keyboards), and Dipankar Mukherjee (narration). It featured the Katha Dance Theatre company dancers who loved this opportunity since they were challenged and artistic growth happened and they did rise to the expectations. This production was presented by The Cowles Center for the Performing Arts, opening their 2016-2017 season. In 3 shows we provided an ASL interpreter, a post show Q and A session with the artists. Additionally, for Thursday night dress rehearsal showing was open to select needy patrons, free of charge. This collaboration exposed the greater public to the breath of Indian arts that are represented locally. The subject matter of Sufiana - The Sufi Ecstasy showcased original Sufi music and choreography, introducing our viewing audience to the greater Indian cultural subsection of Sufism. There were a total of 723 tickets sold for all shows. We offered tickets at three prices from $21-$26, with reduced price tickets for seniors and students. We created an extensive program note for our audience members and conducted Sunday matinee show with a post-show discussions free of charge. What did not work: It took more time to develop, because the music and dance collaborations needed to accommodate a large cast and took time to assemble collectively for rehearsals. What we did well: We firmly believed that undertaking Sufiana - The Sufi Ecstasy was a significant step towards fulfilling Katha Dance Theatre’s mission, which is to preserve the Kathak dance culture of Northern India through the development of accessible, innovative, and collaborative works. All of the individual partners that participated in the project came together with their collective artistic ability, audiences, and resources which resulted with a strengthened presence in our community that will better position us all to sustain our roles as cultural ambassadors throughout the 7-county metro area. Additionally, each artist that participated was able to reach and connect a broader community and wider audience otherwise not accessible acting on their own due to limited budgets, staff sizes, and resources. Our audiences were challenged to evaluate both their own and another culture’s concepts of beauty, gender, and love, providing them an opportunity to experience the transcendence associated with experiencing a piece of art. The post-show discussion helped to provide a rare opportunity for diverse voices to articulate the role cultural arts play in understanding and strengthening community diversity. In short, we feel that Sufiana - the Sufi Ecstasy, was a great success. Yes, we reached our intended community. Katha Dance Theatre and its presenter, The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts, were responsible in marketing the show to targeted audiences. Katha Dance Theatre mailed postcard invitations and displayed event posters at locations throughout Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington counties that included area businesses, libraries, and schools. Katha Dance Theatre conducted widespread media and social campaigns that were directed to local newspapers, magazine, and radio stations and to the organizations’ of Facebook, Twitter, and Constant Contact mailing lists. Additionally, Katha Dance Theatre used advertising dollars to put ads online and on many events calendars, including the Dance Newsletter, Localfiles.com, and Star Tribune, which are popular online destinations for Minnesota’s culture and dance community as well as our targeted population. We also had 10 radio commercial segments on MPR that we used to target a wider audience. Katha Dance Theatre's Artistic Director, Executive Director, and Board of Directors used information provided through post-show and class discussions, critical reviews and audience surveys to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of its programs and performances. With the aforementioned programs and goals, Katha Dance Theatre met the goals of making it accessible. 1. Katha Dance Theatre creates multidisciplinary performances and educational works. These activities united people from various geographies, races, and cultures while expanding their understanding of cultures. 2. It enhanced Katha Dance Theatre's cultural collaboration effort by creating a new work with the Indian Music Society of Minnesota, and Pangea World Theatre. 3. It brought in diverse constituent composition, including youth, seniors and minorities. 4. Katha Dance Theatre received positive responses from box office statistics, audience members, and written surveys. Katha Dance Theatre performances focused on the creation of community-inclusive art making that emerges from a long-standing commitment of the organization to work with varied and diverse populations and educate them on Kathak art and culture of India, as well as Hindustani music traditions, and Sufi music, dance and poetry. The audience was be challenged to understand and experience the transcendence associated with experiencing a piece of art, and the post-show discussions provided a rare opportunity for diverse voices to articulate the role cultural arts play in understanding and strengthening community diversity.",,50000,"Other, local or private",60000,,"Sangeeta Jain, Rita Mustaphi, Kalyan Mustaphi, Marcia Boehnlein, Anu Jain, Jeffrey Davies, Anurag Sharma, Vidyotham Reddi, Elizabeth Fifer",0.00,"Katha Dance Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Sufiana û the Sufi Ecstasy, featuring live music, dancing and poetry.

Kids wore their show T-shirts and handed our postcards as they excitedly invited people to their show. Attendees were drawn from the general public, and included participants family and friends.

Goal 6 will come from conversations and discussions with Peyton for the creation of murals in the cafeteria, and then the actual creation and painting of the murals.","Robyn Henderson the coordinator of the entire Yellow Medicine Integration Collaborative calls and asks for feedback on the strengths and weakness of each collaboration. Everything is non-formal and done very action research style. Each instructor evaluated the students' responses and discussions and postulated how the day went. Lakeview and Peyton received amazing responses. Most detailed how exciting the day was and the energy of Peyton and other presenters were during our day. My students really remarked how they missed Peyton on the following Thursday. Many were just starting to develop a relationship with Peyton. I believe that is the strongest evaluation, he called and said later that day how he felt very empty and really missed the interaction with the students.",,10,"Other, local or private",4010,,"Jennifer Hinz, Nancy Bertrand, Tracy Sterner, Cindy Anderson, Jason Louwagie, Chris Fenske, Al Grube, Chad Johnson",0.00,"Lakeview Public Schools","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools",,"Graffiti artist residency at Lakeview High School",2015-12-15,2016-05-02,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Sterner,"Lakeview Public Schools","PO Box 107",Cottonwood,MN,56229,"(507) 423-5164 ",johnsterner@lakeview2167.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Yellow Medicine, Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood, Renville",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-schools-51,"Andrea Anderson: education; Ellen Copperud: literature education, theatre; Jeff Iverson: music education, theatre; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Kate Aydin: retired educator; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, former High School English/creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Dana Johnson: producer/filmmaker; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Scott Tedrick: journalist, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, theatre director/actor.","Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Greta Murray (507) 537-1471 ",1

All surveys will also have space provided to give suggestions to help us continue to serve them better, and to leave comments about their interpretation of the piece, giving us evidence of the success of Eclectic Edge Ensemble’s mission. We will have a talk back with our audience after the Saturday matinee performance to talk about our process and answer any questions and receive spoken feedback on the production. Cast, creators, designers and crew will hold a post mortem meeting after the production closes and fill out artist surveys with their evaluation, reaction and feedback on our process for Snowbound!","481 patrons attended Snow Bound! over 4 performances. 34 artists were able to work directly on this production. Demographic surveys showed 52% had never attended an Eclectic Edge Ensemble performance before! Female audience members made up 65% while 35% were male. In terms of ethnicity 18% identified themselves as being African American, 7% Asian American, 6% Hispanic/Latino and 69% Caucasian. Eclectic Edge Ensemble achieved our Artistic Goal for Snow Bound!: A Journey from Autumn to Spring which included creating a rich environment for diverse artists by bringing multiple mediums together to create one collaborative work. We collaborated with an array of artists including a director, choreographer, 3 local composers, 11 dancers, 11 puppeteers and 7 designers to work on the full production of Snow Bound! Snow Bound grew from a 60 minute work to a full evening production running 87 minutes. For our new version of Snow Bound the directors decided for the lead character to be played by a woman. We had local actor Emily Madigan perform as The Figure. She did an incredible job of taking the audience on her journey by feeling everything she was experiencing. We added 3 new sections Birth of a Snowflake, Isolation and Survival. Eclectic Edge Ensemble collaborated with composers Richard Sloss, Warren Park and Nathaniel Kling to create these new sections. Birth of a Snowflake gave a touching glimpse of motherhood as the audience watched the Mother snowflakes make the difficult decision on when it was time to release their baby snowflakes into the world. Isolation ended with 3 dancers being trapped in boxes of light giving the haunting feeling of being stuck in a never ending winter. Finally Survival followed a pack of rams fighting amongst each other for the limited supplies they needed. These 3 new sections really completed our production. The directors worked closely with their technical director and designers on creating a snowy world while finding hiding places for all of the puppets including a giant snow dragon, whirling snow tornadoes, and hibernating wire framed animals. The Lab’s space is very unique with little to no masking. The scenic design made it possible for the audience to feel a part of this world, its magic, wonder and keep everything a surprise. Snow Bound!, gave a unique opportunity for the artists of Eclectic Edge Ensemble and Mad Munchkin Productions to bring the art forms of dance and puppetry to the stage as a cohesive experience of narrative imagery. Eclectic Edge Ensemble company members rehearsed roughly 10-15 hours/week for the 5 months leading to the show with the ambitious undertaking of creating work that challenged the dancers beyond picking up choreography, they also had to find ways to embody all these different elements and objects of winter that changed from scene to scene. They also worked with director Laura Wilhelm on puppetry sequences for Snow Bound., including taking puppetry workshops in October that introduced this art form and gave them an understanding for rehearsals. Similarly to the dancers, the puppeteers were also stretched in new ways as performers. This cast reversed roles many times, using a completely different medium from what they are used to. Instead of manipulating a snowflake puppet, a puppeteer used their entire body as a snowflake dancing in a choreographed blizzard. And a dancer, performed the dance of migrating geese using puppets in the air rather than their own limbs. Eclectic Edge Ensemble had great success in reaching our intended community. To add a wider reach even farther beyond the dance community, Eclectic Edge Ensemble identified youth and seniors as potential patrons that would be well served by this production. We provided 80 free tickets for youth and their guardians through Project SUCCESS. During the same performance we also offered Ebenezer Senior Living Life Long Learning Program 20 free tickets to their seniors. We held a talk back after this performance to give both of these groups a chance to ask questions to Snow Bounds’ creators, designers, composers and performers. We heard great feedback from both groups who were so grateful for the opportunity to see Snow Bound! Focusing in on youth audience members we also decided to design and hold our first youth poetry competition asking for winter themed poems. Submissions could be any style of poetry (limerick, haiku, free form, etc.) and must be original work. We worked directly with 5 classrooms, ranging in age from 1st– 6th grade, 6 different dance studios and was open to the public. Entries were submitted on-line, by mail or picked up at the school or studios we directly worked with. Winners read or had their poems read to the audience during intermission of one of our performances and received two free tickets to the selected show. All other entries were displayed in the lobby of the Lab Theater throughout the run of our show. We had huge success with our Youth Poetry competition with over 80 entries! It was incredibility memorable watching students see their poems displayed in the lobby or who were chosen build confidence as they read their poems in front of an audience. It also brought in many students and families who had never attended a dance concert before and had exciting feedback and seemed to leave an inspiring imprint. We had a talk back after our Saturday and Sunday productions, which was ASL interpreted on Sunday, and we were able to answer audience questions about our process and experiences. Even though we tried different avenues of advertisement we did not have any members of the deaf/hard of hearing community attend our Sunday matinee. We also offered a pre-show tactile experience for blind and low vision patrons before Saturday matinee performance which was also going to be audio described. We were excited because we were contacted by one family who had a low vision 10 year old they wanted to bring to our production, but then he was unable to come because he had a horrible cold. We also addressed accessibility in more practical ways by offering concert tickets at a below-average rate ($17 advanced, $20 at the door). We had a study guide that was offered on our website that included interviews with choreographers, composers, designers etc., affiliated with Snowbound, and fun related puzzles. We received great feedback from patrons on our study guide on how helpful, informative and fun it was.",,13000,"Other, local or private",23000,,"Ryan McGuire Grimes, Tori Holtz, Bill Mohr, Blake Iverson, Matthew Prediger",0.00,"Eclectic Edge Ensemble","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce four performances of Snowbound!: A Journey from Autumn to Spring, in collaboration with Mad Munchkin Productions.

At least 150 people will participate in the African Culture workshop and music master class and gain understanding about West African culture and lyrical music (e.g. “sweet speech”) or culture-specific rhythms, music patterns, and vocal/drumming techniques. 3. About 100 students and community members will perform in the evening concert; at least 200 more College and community members will attend. All will experience the music of Ghana, West Africa. The project will also increase regional youth interest in African art, music, and culture. We will determine outcomes through various avenues. First, we will ask all participants to complete brief surveys after each session. We will pose questions such as: Did this festival inform or enhance your understanding of African culture? Are you more interested in World music based on what you encountered here? How would you describe your overall experience? Will this experience encourage you to participate in any future music/art experiences? Surveys will also ask respondents to indicate the sessions they attended. Project directors, community partners, and guest artists will monitor the learning that occurs during the sessions and participants’ engagement in interactive portions.","Short Range Outcomes: Chorus members have an increased understanding of how a piece of music comes to be; saw the composer as a real person making artistic decisions within specific criteria; learned basic compositional skills; shared their experiences with others; performed the new music with accuracy and emotional understanding. Long Range Outcomes: Chorus members have a deeper understanding of the value of art to society, specifically how it can directly connect with their community.

32538,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Up to 30 individuals with disabilities will gain exposure to and experience with a high-quality, interactive arts program they would not otherwise have access to, in a safe and creative venue, where they will have opportunities to practice appropriate social skills (communication, body language, tone of voice, facial expressions) and “rehearse” a variety of interpersonal interactions. Program participants will improve their social skills, which will positively impact participants’ interpersonal interactions, including those related to being successful in volunteer settings, in the workplace and in broader community settings. Community Involvement Programs staff will complete a pre- and post-program evaluation for each participant, and Upstream Arts staff will conduct interviews with select Community Involvement Programs staff and use their findings to improve their program model, determine impact on individual participants, and show the potential of arts-based social skills training to other disability service providers. Community Involvement Programs will also assess changes in interpersonal interactions, communication skills, and other social skills for the participants of the programs utilizing the pre- and post-program surveys.","26 individuals participated in the program (2 unable to complete). 77% of participants indicated they “very rarely” participated in arts activities prior to the program, and 35% indicated having no access to arts in the community outside of this opportunity. Post-program surveys indicated 100% of participants demonstrated gains in their interpersonal and social skills as a result of the program. Participants in The Art of Social Skills were all successfully provided with high quality experiences in theater, music, dance, visual arts, and poetry by accomplished professional artists, achieving our first artistic goal. More than 80% of participants indicated they weren’t engaged in any form of arts activities at program initiation; of the five who indicated that they currently participated in arts activities, only three indicated exposure to the arts more than monthly. None of the participants were engaged in this type of high quality, intensive artistic experience, however. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the participants reported they “very rarely” participated in arts activities of any type at program initiation. The Art of Social Skills successfully met our second artistic goal by providing a safe and creative venue to practice appropriate communication, such as eye contact, body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions, and to “rehearse” a variety of social interactions. Three of the ten domains measured by pre- and post-program evaluations where most improvement was reported included effective communication, demeanor and attitude, and cooperativeness. One individual who had “a lot of trouble with communication and engaging in conversations” at program initiation demonstrated gains in six out of ten domains measured after program completion, including self-awareness, communication, demeanor and attitude, working with others, professionalism, and acceptance of feedback. It is unlikely he would have be open to engaging with others, let alone gaining skills from the experience, without the safe environment provided by the program. Achievement of our final artistic goal was demonstrated by a comparison between pre- and post-program evaluations, which indicated that 100% of the individuals who participated in the program for the entire period had gained improvements in social skills that will positively impact their interpersonal interactions, such as being successful in volunteer settings and in the workplace, and engaging more effectively in their broader communities. Some things that worked well included: Individuals who had been withdrawn, and even “dependent” at program initiation had opportunities to express themselves artistically in a supportive environment, resulting in a greater willingness to risk vulnerability and being more self-reliant through performance opportunities and creative choices. Individuals who struggled with impulse control gained greater insight into the importance of taking turns, watching and listening to others, and providing feedback in constructive ways and at socially acceptable times. Role play opportunities also provided experience with connecting the more abstract painting, dance and rhythm activities to the real world situations, by acting out and practicing solutions to challenges they face in social settings on a daily basis. Our project successfully reach the intended community with regard to program participants, support staff, and teaching artists. Because we were able to pull from a pool of diverse candidates who receive services from Community Involvement Programs, both groups had a rich diversity of participants. The programs were accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities including intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental illness, emotional/behavioral challenges, physical disabilities, and sensory deficits. For example, the program space was fully accessible for individuals who used wheelchairs and sign language interpreters were provided for participants who were deaf/hard of hearing. In addition, Community Involvement Programs provided transportation support to ensure participants were able to get to each arts session. Participants came from a wide variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, and socioeconomic groups. The program also provided exposure to a unique arts experience for 10 staff employed by Community Involvement Programs, who provided support and oversight to the participants involved in the program while participating alongside them. The small size of each group (no more than 15 people with disabilities plus several support staff), allowed the teaching artists to address the diversity of experiences and abilities that were present. The programs were designed for groups with a range of abilities and the teaching artists had experience addressing the differing needs related to certain types of disabilities, and created an environment inclusive of all individuals. One way to potentially enhance the richness of experience for future programs such as this would be to open up the classes to community members who were interested in an intensive arts program, to provide increased exposure to those in the greater community for the participants, as well as offering an opportunity for community members to have a rich and engaging experience with people who experience disability. The biggest challenge with this would likely be managing larger group sizes and the diversity of potential responses, while still ensuring that those who were primarily designated as program participants still received the intended benefits of our artistic goals.",,5000,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Lisa Baron, Sonja Bigalk, Gewn Carlson, Gay Gonnerman, Kyle Holtz, John Klinck, Jesse Mason, Michael Mason, John Ottman, Lori Sedlezky, John Watson, Doug Wise",0.00,"Community Involvement Programs","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to collaborate with Upstream Arts on its Art of Working program, using performing arts practices to develop social and communication skills for individuals who have struggled to be contributing members of their communities due to challenges with s",2015-10-12,2016-06-03,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jolene,"Thibedeau Boyd","Community Involvement Programs","2300 Kennedy St NE",Minneapolis,MN,55413,"(612) 353-4595 ",jolenet@cipmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-618,"Denise Prosek: Artistic, administration; Laura Sorensen: Artistic, administration, organizational; Mathew Janczewski: Artistic, organizational development, administration; Adriana Rimpel: Artistic, administration; Chris Garza: Artistic, administration, audience development; Natalie Madgy: Administration, education, artistic; Caitlin Marlotte: Administration, fundraising, artistic; Jane Heer: Artistic, administration; Elysia Michaelsen: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Jeff Prauer (651) 645-0402 ",1
32553,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We hope to have an audience of between 700-900 patrons from all cultural, ethnic, economic, gender, artistic, and age backgrounds. We also hope to facilitate discussions of both mental illness and economic strife, two major themes of AND SO IT GOES, and their impact on individual lives, families, community, and society through post-show discussions that engage the patrons and participants (actors, creative team), along with community partners (past partners have included Planned Parenthood, the Sexual Violence Center, and Artspace, as well as individuals, such as Hennepin County Court Judge Kristin Siegesmund). We will evaluate our outcome in two ways: quantitatively, we will look at attendance numbers and earned revenue from ticket sales, as well as surveys from patrons administered at performances. Qualitatively, we will talk with both patrons and the cast/creative team to get their feedback about how the process/show has affected them; what benefits they have received, insights they have gained, and other thoughts and feelings about the production.","1,182 patrons attended And So It Goes, surpassing our goal of 800, seeing the work of 17 artists. 52% of audience members were seeing a D and S show for the first time, so we are reaching new audiences. The top two reasons that audiences attended, the cast and creative team (31%) and because they are fans of intimate theater (23%), indicates they will support future projects like And So It Goes. And So It Goes by George F. Walker was the most successful production in Dark and Stormy’s history financially, and one of its most adventurous and successful artistically. We had the advantage of rehearsing in the performance space, which was set up in a “clock” formation – a variation of a theater in the round, with the audience spread around the space in a full circle that was generally only two rows deep (a very intimate seating arrangement). The playing space was centered by a large concrete pillar, which slightly obstructed the view of each audience member and actor from each other at times, (intentionally). This unique style of staging was new to the entire creative team, the actors, and the audience, and it proved to be an exceptionally successful artistic choice, and one we may use again. Because some of the action was placed amongst the audience, the “fourth wall” was often broken, creating a truly intimate and immediate experience that had a profound effect on the audience, according to our surveys. This experience provided a multi-dimensional challenge for our creative team and even our most veteran actors, who had to adjust to a large obstruction in the center of the playing space (they eventually found it to be a grounding force), and to the audience being close enough to touch. In addition, our assistant stage managers (usually kept from view back stage) remained on stage as a full part of the production, amongst the audience and actors. It was the first time any of the highly experienced cast had performed George F. Walker’s complicated and nuanced work. Sally Wingert, Sara Marsh, Robert Dorfman, and James Craven are all at the top of their field, well-known and well-loved by Twin Cities audiences and critics alike. They had excellent chemistry, and director Benjamin McGovern helmed a collaborative, open, engaging rehearsal room. The artists had the skills and ability necessary to successfully take on the delicate mix of humor, absurdism, and tragedy in this material, which, while disturbing and challenging, brought the actors and creative team closer together. We achieved all our goals with And So It Goes: Walker’s complex characters, structure and narrative were challenging even for our highly experienced artists (who have Broadway, national theater, and major feature film credits among them); our unconventional staging; it was the first time any of our artists, crew, or designers had worked on a George F. Walker play; it was the national premiere of this production; the playwright was thrilled with our production and hopes that we produce more of his work; and it can be best summed up by a statement from Broadway veteran Robert Dorfman on closing night, “We changed people with this play. We changed people’s lives. This makes me excited to do another play. This is why I do this.” The rest of the cast and creative team felt the same way. All in all, And So It Goes was a massive artistic success. Dark and Stormy was seeking to serve three distinct groups with And So It Goes: audience members, area artists, and participating artists. We successfully reached these groups with record attendance. And So It Goes is the second most highly attended production in our history, limited only by house size and length of run. And So It Goes played to an astonishing 123% capacity (a record), showcasing the work of 17 participating artists. Our surveys and feedback on social media show that we reached theatergoers. We offered a free preview performance, well attended by theater artists and the community. Our $5 Wednesday night performance, geared specifically toward area artists, sold out. In addition to seeing many artists after each performance, we received a great deal of feedback from artists on social media. Our outreach efforts resulted in some community diversity. Audience surveys show that, as we expected, our audience demographic is largely Caucasian, has an income over $100,000 per year, is middle-aged, and evenly split between male and female (with only a small number identifying as transgender, though over half identify as LGBTQ allies). However, as we have previously seen, we had a large response on social media from individuals under the age of 35. “Go see Dark and Stormy’s latest show ‘And So It Goes,’ tomorrow or the next day. I CANNOT get over how brilliant it is. Wow. Go see it. Really. Wow.” “Go see Dark and Stormy’s show, it’s honestly amazing, and I don’t think I have ever recommended a show on here.” “You are incredible and I loved watching you and supporting your work tonight!!” “Fantastic performance! I would say it’s a must see production :)” We received many incredibly moving survey responses, messages, and emails from audience members, such as this: “My wife and I lost our 23 year old daughter…she had struggled for many years with bi polar disorder and clinical depression…You and your company did an amazing job capturing the horrors of dealing with mental illness and untimely death. As one of the lines in the play stated parents never quite recover from the loss of a child. Yet – with help – we do find ways to move forward. Let me simply say thank you.” Our outreach efforts met our goals in making our project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate; we offered discounted tickets, used free spaces to publicize (like social media, leaving postcards at strategic locations, word of mouth, etc.), and our accessibility and low prices compared to larger theaters were highlighted by the press. In addition, excellent reviews from critics and a large feature on artistic director Sara Marsh in the Star Tribune dramatically increased visibility. We also worked with our partner, Artspace, to offer a discount to our fellow tenants. We will continue to build partnerships will fellow organizations to be even more inclusive and accessible.""",,30761,"Other, local or private",40761,,"Julie Bruns, Wilson Eugster, Lynn-Ellen St Martin, Jill A Anderson, Amy Bettwy, Kevin Cannon, Sara Marsh",0.00,"Dark and Stormy Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the national premiere of George F Walker's play, AND SO IT GOES, to be presented as part of their fourth season.

These results will be shared and analyzed by Alternative Motion Project's board for a final evaluation.","285 people attended a dance performance that featured 16 different artists from 2 art forms. Audience Surveys showed 59% of the audience sees 0-3 dance performances per year, showing a need for Alternative Motion Project to cater to those that don't regularly see dance. Alternative Motion Project Rehearsal Vlogs got a total of 2,243 reach/views showing a need for more consistent opportunities for audiences to connect to the process. With Alternative Motion Project's 5th Season Performance, Alternative Motion Project achieved its goals of creating an evening-length Modern dance performance. This included 6 new dance works for 11 dancers that were diverse in style and subject matter and were also creative, entertaining and accessible to its audience. Alternative Motion Project provided the following audience engagement activities: Rehearsal Video Blog, Audience Create-a-Dance, Behind-the-Scenes Video (during performance), Post-Show Q and A, and Audience Surveys (online and paper). While Alternative Motion Project was not able to reach 400 audience members (approximately 300 instead), we were still able to reach and exceed our goal of 30% overall audience participation in one of our several engagement activities: 2,243 total reach/views on the Rehearsal Video Blog (Facebook, Vimeo); Approximately 40 total audience surveys completed; 40 Audience Create-A-Dance Surveys completed; Approximately total of 100 people attended Post-Show Q and A between 3 performances. The collaborations between artists of different genres Kristin Howe (dance) and Richard Haglund (music) were successful and well-received. The artists were able to challenge themselves to cross their own individual disciplines to truly collaborate on a project that blended music and dance and included an exciting live music performance by Haglund on a new instrument, the Octapad. Alternative Motion Project was also successful in blending technology and dance when Joanna Lees shot, edited and choreographed video that was projected during one of her world premieres and was a crowd-pleasing favorite of the show. Each dancer was challenged by the artistic product either in stamina, technique, emotional content or a combination of these things. All four choreographers were challenged to develop their choreographic abilities by exploring a new combination of movement style, subjects, themes, cast of dancers, music, and sets. One of Alternative Motion Project's major strengths was to be able to keep to the timeline that was planned and organize the logistics of the production flawlessly. Another Alternative Motion Project strength is finding ways to bring its audience into our artistic process. The Rehearsal Video Blogs were particularly popular (2,243 total reach/views through Facebook and Vimeo over the course of 13 episodes) as well as the Social Media posts describing aspects of and insight into the artistic process throughout. A recurring challenge for Alternative Motion Project has been in terms of marketing and promotion. While Alternative Motion Project is able to connect with its supporters via social media fairly well, we still weren't able to maximize the potential of paid advertisements, either online or in print. In future projects, Alternative Motion Project will continue to research and compare these options to reach out to new audiences through trial and error. Another challenge this year was in overall attendance. Alternative Motion Project's 5th Season was held at the same time as several other dance performances in the Twin Cities. Alternative Motion Project believes that dance audiences might have had too many shows to choose from and this affected a decrease in audience members (vs 2015). According to the completed audience surveys, 53% of the audience sees 0-3 dance performances per year, confirming this outreach. Of these completed surveys, 91% were either very or somewhat likely to attend another Alternative Motion Project show in the future. Alternative Motion Project also learned that (of the completed surveys) 74% of its audience is female, 15% male and 6% identify as other. 59% were between the ages of 21-49, 27% were 50 and older, and 9% of Alternative Motion Project's audience were under 21. In terms of diversity, Alternative Motion Project certainly met its goal of creating stylistically different modern dances for its program. The program ranged from contemporary ballet to post-modern to gestural to dance-theater to evocative while all being extremely physical movement techniques with differing music (contemporary classical, electronic, sound score, audible sound from the dancers and world music percussive influences). Alternative Motion Project was also able to include a diverse range of art forms showcased in each performance (music, dance, video projection) as well as a variety of cast sizes for each world premiere (8, 2, 3, 6, 5, 7). In terms of accessibility, Alternative Motion Project provided several discounted opportunities for those with financial barriers to attend, including a Pay-as-Able show. In addition, Alternative Motion Project provided an ASL interpreter for one of its shows; while this show was advertised through VSA and its marketing materials, Alternative Motion Project can continue to reach out more specifically to Deaf/Hard of Hearing communities for future projects. Alternative Motion Project's 5th Season Performance was also held in an ADA accessible theater (The Lab Theater) that was close to some bus lines/public transportation. Alternative Motion Project set out to make the artistic work intellectually accessible for all of its audiences through its Post-Show Q and A, Behind the Scenes Video during the actual performance, Rehearsal Video Blog and the Audience Create-a-Dance, choreographed by company member, Jesse Schmitz-Boyd.",,14596,"Other, local or private",24596,,"Danielle Robinson-Prater, Katherine Dunbar, Amy Anderson, Kristin Howe, Joanna Lees, Dameun Strange, Stephanie Flanagan, Andrew Leitch",0.00,"Alternative Motion Project","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 5th Annual Performance, including the creation of six new dance works, a rehearsal process and audience engagement activities.

As proposed, Ananya Dance Theatre created and presented two performances of ""Horidraa: Golden Healing"" at The O'Shaughnessy at Saint Catherine University, St Paul, September 16-17, 2016. The full-length work focused on the role of women as healers and sustainers of communities. Artistic Director Ananya Chatterjea choreographed using contemporary Indian American dance. Her collaborating partners included guest artist Shá Cage; behavioral artist Marcus Young; composer/instrumentalist Greg Schutte; composer Andrea Reynolds aka Queen Drea; vocalists Mankwe Ndosi, Pooja Goswami Pavan, Michelle Kinney, and Tenzin Ngawang; costume designer Annie Cady; scenic designer Alison Hiltner; lighting designer Kevin A.

Our philosophy of #occupydance informed our creation of an interactive audience experience that brought people into the world of ""Horidraa."" The experience included performers moving among audience members in the lobby pre-performance, and the opportunity to touch and be touched by turmeric paste, with its external medicinal value and temporary skin coloring post-performance. We anticipated serving a range of individuals – artists, communities of color, women and girls, social justice activists – who are part of our audiences, ensemble, and decision-makers. Our vision of audiences for this project comprised a cross-section of local communities that included members of local immigrant and youth communities. We anticipated that at least 25% of the audience would be members of Asian communities, Black/African American communities, and White/not Hispanic, and that youth 19-24 and adults 25-64 would comprise at least a quarter of the audience. We reached, if not exceeded, the intended breadth of community participation, but not the anticipated depth of particular demographics. We reached artists, communities of color, women and girls, and social justice activists. Of 785 total audience members at two O'Shaughnessy performances, 51 (6.5%) returned written surveys. Based on these self-selected responses, 56.9% were first time attendees of Ananya Dance Theatre; 74.5% were women; 37.3% were LGBTQ and 60.8% straight; and 7.8% had a disability.

We certainly accomplished our artistic goal of building cross-cultural understanding by using multicultural music to foster cultural identity conversations. This concert occurred after the Jamar Clark shooting and was in response to that. We used African-American poetry as well as Civil Rights songs including Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around and We Shall Overcome. We talked about the context of these songs and invited our audience into this perspective. We also accomplished our goal of collaborating with different levels/ages of musicians to build awareness of and encourage music as a lifelong pursuit. Youth sang with Central High School youth and both ComMUSICation choirs (including the training choir) and listened to each other sing. Unfortunately, the pen pal project didn't happen due to the tragedies at Central High School. The challenges were scheduling and communication due to Central happenings. Something that truly worked was having so many different youth on the stage. Next time, we will have our training choir only on stage for part of the performance as they lost their attention span and thus were not able to fully engage after an amount of time. We will use watching a performance as a measure of growth. This performance didn't have the best turnout, but taught us some important lessons. Only 2/3 of our training choir youth attended this performance, which taught us an important lesson; they aren't in the program for the performance aspect, but rather the relationship and 1:1 time they receive from our teachers. This made us rethink how we talk about performances and get buy-in from youth and their families. Audience-wise, we had great board turnout, which has been a struggle in the past.

At least 25% of audience members will be attending a Contempo Physical Dance performance for the first time. Post-performance one-on-one meetings will be held with each of the dancers. Patron data will be reviewed to determine the number of new audience members.","100% of artists participating in this project indicated that they experienced artistic growth and diversified their vocabulary of highly physical movement. More than 25% of audience members saw Contempo Physical Dance for the first time. Marciano Silva dos Santos and Carl Flink, the choreographers, grew artistically, challenged their thinking and expanded their repertoire of highly physical movement. At the beginning of the creative process they began with one choreographer creating a movement idea and then the other choreographer taking that idea and modifying it. Marciano said that he came up with new ideas because he was able to come from a different starting piece, shifting Carl’s vocabulary and fusing it with Afro-Brazilian subtleties. Carl challenged Marciano to use more partnering work and movement that went upside down. Marciano, on the other hand, challenged Carl to use more polyrhythmic movements. Both choreographers used highly physical movements and it was interesting to watch the dancers increase their range of movement with Contempo dancers finding the partnering sections more difficult and Black Label Movement dancers finding movements like shoulder and hip isolations challenging while moving so physically. By the end of the process both Marciano and Carl were able to anticipate some of the creative choices of the other and it was less obvious who was making which choice. In the end, the work was a seamless collaboration and even the choreographers couldn’t tell you who came up with which idea because they worked together so much. The collaborative project resulted in a duet for Marciano and Carl and an ensemble piece performed by both companies. There were four public performances at the Cowles Center in Minneapolis. We had several audience engagement activities leading up to the performance and two post-performance talkbacks. We had both regular Contempo and regular Black Label Movement audience members who were being exposed to the other company for the first time and learning about the creative process. A comment we heard several times from different people in the audience was that a collaboration such as this could go very wrong because of such different aesthetics and approaches, but we were successful. Before the premiere of this collaborative work, both companies showed a piece from their respective repertoires. Audience members stated they could clearly see both companies in the premiere and that the voices worked well together. Both choreographers and companies worked really well together. The only major challenge was for the choreographers to agree on costume design because they had drastically different opinions, but through conversation they were able to resolve their differences. There isn’t much we would change about this project if we had the opportunity to repeat it. And we hope we do have the opportunity for future collaborations. The only thing the choreographers discovered was that they weren’t getting anywhere at the beginning during their initial planning meetings, which were verbal in nature. But they found that the collaboration flowed when they were working kinesthetically together, so I think they would go straight to the studio in the future. We successfully reached our intended community both in terms of our artists and audience. We had a cast of racially diverse dancers with artists of color representing more than half of the ensemble. We also did significant outreach activities including an episode on TPT television highlighting the creative process, spotlights in local newspapers and magazines, e-blasts, social media promotion, and Contempo’s audience advocates program among other activities. This resulted in a racially diverse audience, including adults, seniors, students and children. We performed at the Cowles Center, which is an ADA compliant venue, we had discounted tickets for students, seniors and children and student rush tickets were available. We also had an ASL interpreter for one of our shows. He interpreted during the show and for our post-performance talkback. All of our pre and post community outreach activities were free of charge and open to the public and we offered a series of open classes, open rehearsals and discussions with Marciano and Carl. These experiences deepened the understanding of the work and the collaborative nature of this project and we could see from the questions asked at our talkback that the audience was intrigued and engaged. Our actual population benefiting was different that our estimated in terms of age groups. We had a good turn-out of students, seniors and adults, but we had less children than anticipated because we did not do a student matinee performance. We had hoped to do a matinee, but at the time of our proposal it was only a possibility, and we made it clear in our application that our conversations about it was only preliminary and it was not confirmed. We, in collaboration with the Cowles Center, reached out to numerous groups to share the opportunity. We could not find enough interested student groups to attend due to the time period of our performances. It was late enough that all schools were out, but early enough that all summer school programs were just beginning or hadn’t started at all. In the future, we will avoid this time frame because we found it difficult to engage a K-12 audience.",,17425,"Other, local or private",27425,,"David Hoffman-Dachelet, Anthony Galloway, Shih-Yu Kuo, Jenny Pennaz, Nancy Rosenbaum",0.00,"Contempo Physical Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to create, produce and perform two new highly physical dance works in collaboration with Black Label Movement.

Qualitative outcomes: The Teen Arts Council becomes a fully functioning well attended core committee of dedicated teens, which is well supported by mentors and lead artists. Project evaluation will be measured by how many teens are involved and their desire to continue as a member of the Teen Arts Council as will their successful recruitment of new teen participants. Mentors and lead artists will give constructive critique of project success and surveys will be collected from each Teen Arts Council participant and key community contacts and leaders where projects took place.","We successfully completed one large-scale mural project in a busy south Minneapolis neighborhood. Survey responses collected from participants, neighboring businesses, and the neighborhood association all reflected that the mural is a very valuable addition to the community. The creative teen group is a fully functioning collaborative supported by teaching mentor artists and lead artists. Our Teen Arts Council program reached all artistic goals set forth of completing the minimum requirement of one public art project. We witnessed an interesting change in the core group in how they viewed their individual and collective roles. Through various conversations, they concluded that there was less of a desire for a council concept since community partner development and site evaluation were laborious and sometimes intimidating. They were ultimately much more interested in focusing on the design and execution of creative public art projects instead of being both creators and an administrative council. This approach will allow them to best apply their time to project development and design sessions in future projects. The group thus renamed themselves the Youth Arts Collaborative. Staff will identify community partners and locations for future projects and share the external partnering processes with the group, enabling them to indirectly learn some of the administrative tasks. Also, our original model of majority recruitment responsibilities by the teens was inadequate. In the future staff will take a more active role in upfront recruitment with a more extensive social media campaign and through local schools. Youth Arts Collaborative partnered with Audubon Minnesota (environmental conservation organization), Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association in Minneapolis and local businesses. The project entailed designing and installing a large mural that depicts what it means to live in a river city where protecting clean water resources for birds and people is not only a responsibility but a way of life. Audubon Minnesota taught the teens and Articulture staff about water conservation issues and migratory birds who rely on Minnesota’s water resources. This encouraged the teens to think of solutions to these clean water conservation issues. Their challenge was to use their art to educate the public about this issue and stimulate social change. Youth Arts Collaborative planned a community paint day where the community came out to participate and learn about the educational project. Our biggest challenge was the unusually high number of rain days, causing scheduled paint days to be canceled. During the installation we received a lot of positive feedback from citizens and the local businesses. Youth Arts Collaborative mentoring artists and our lead artist all did a fabulous job of supporting the teens throughout the project process, keeping them on track and allowing them to take ownership of the design process. Both the mentors and the lead artist have reported their observations of artistic growth in many if not all of the teens during the project. Some teens at the beginning of the project were more reserved or made negative comments about their artistic abilities. However, they progressed into more confident young artists who sought out opportunities by taking the lead on design elements or worked on improving their painting skills and taking initiative to have ownership in developing parts of the project. Our hope was to engage a core group of urban teens in a meaningful public arts program, and to connect with the community at large where the public art would be installed. We successfully recruited, educated and inspired 9 local teens who exceeded our expectations and took on the task of also honing and clarifying what they wanted the program to be—less administrative and more about being a creative collaboration. Audubon Minnesota was the critical community partner Clean Water for Birds and People with the creation of the Mississippi Flyway mural. A site was identified in the Standish Ericsson neighborhood and we received a vested interest and support from the Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association. Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association helped to get out information about the new mural in the neighborhood through their communications network, which also served to cultivate community volunteers for both the public community paint day and the final unveiling event. Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association also arranged for wall preparation services, which included power washing and priming the wall. The community paint day event successfully engaged 67 people from the community where the mural was installed. We had single adults, young couples and children of all ages come to paint and ask questions about the project. Information about the Youth Arts Collaborative our public arts program was distributed with the intent of introducing the Articulture to new families and teens for future projects. A local business, A Baker’s Wife, located directly across the street from the mural, donated freshly baked doughnuts while Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association provided beverages and pizza for both the community paint day and the final unveiling event. The mural is located in Minneapolis at the corner of 42 St and 28 Ave South. The corner has a busy Metro bus stop, is near the Light Rail Blue line, and there are more than 8 local businesses that surround it, which makes the site a perfect place to engage community members where they live. It is at an intersection where there is a lot of car and foot traffic and a restaurant with sidewalk seating directly across from the mural. Lake Hiawatha is located two blocks south of the mural site, of which the community, city and park service are attempting to address toxic health issues of the lake due to runoff.

Adults with developmental disabilities report they have gained new skills in using art materials and tools to create art, as well as an increased appreciation of nature. Evaluation plan includes a survey of artists, program participants and support staff, as well as informal observation of artists working with participants. In addition, a portfolio of work created over the duration of the program is created for each participant and reviewed by staff and administration from each organization involved.","The outcome for the organizations participating in the project is continued work with ArtStart-we believe because of the successful engagement of artists, particularly, to bring out each participants artist within. We have been able to deepen our partnerships and add new partners, an unexpected serendipity, and continue our work with this amazing community of emerging artists. The project achieved the following goals as assessed by the evaluation using informal observation and surveys of key stakeholders: 1.) to increase opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to communicate feelings and ideas through art making experiences led by an artist and naturalist; 2.) to celebrate and share each participant's unique artistic expression; and, 3.) to deepen partnerships between ArtStart and other community organizations. Certainly the artist-naturalist team was one of the strengths of the project as participants explored nature before participating in the art making portion of the project. A challenging aspect of the project was the reaction of some participants to being in nature. While all chose this experience, when faced with a more open environment, some participants were fearful. Others found it hard to engage all of their senses particularly smell and touch to explore natural objects. The art making sessions at each group's respective home base were most successful, as participants seemed more comfortable in that space. Artists helped each participant keep a portfolio of their art work which ranged from drawings, paintings, prints, and weavings, as well as a mixed media piece inspired by nature exploration. To celebrate their successful completion of the project, the Lifeworks and Kaposia participants displayed their art work in ArtStart's Art Gallery throughout the duration of the project and also at The Show art gallery as part of the April 2016 Art Crawl event. A reception was held at ArtStart for participants and families. TSE participants hosted a reception for the art mural created as part of the project at their site. The art exhibits were the highlight of the project as the artists and naturalist were present and could talk directly to family members and other staff of the organizations involved. Probably, the only difference which we would make to the project is to keep in better communication prior to the grant decision-making process with one of the organizations named in the project (Highland Friendship) who had received a large state grant and could not fit this project into their schedule. We were able to reach 60 adults with developmental disabilities thanks to the wonderful support staff from each organization who helped us identify and select a group of 8-10 participants. The invitation for participants to be part of this project was open to all at a site, but staff from each site had the final word in the composition of the group. Criteria for selection ranged from interest in art to ability to adapt to a new setting. The range of diversity in this project included adults who were mobile to 2 adults who needed wheel chair access. Staff from each organization were present at the workshops to assist the artist-naturalist team with special needs a participant might have. Adults had a range of learning disabilities, but all loved to make art. Another interesting point of diversity that we did not count on and that was quite a contrast, was the way each organization involved in the project saw their work with adults with developmental disabilities. Participants from Lifeworks were involved in a daycare program as they were not yet ready for placement in a community-based work program; TSE participants had jobs within the community and a common work schedule dictated who could participate in the project. Participants from Kaposia had many more independent living skills. Transportation was not an issue for them, as they all knew how to take a bus to The Show located in Lowertown, St Paul, while Lifeworks and TSE participants were brought by van.

We tracked audience numbers and used sign-in sheets and staff interactions with visitors to identify those who were new to the park. While the threat of bad weather reduced attendance at two performances overall audience numbers were good, engagement was high and our outcomes were met. We successfully achieved the artistic goals for our 2016 Summer Performance Series. On June 12 the Minnesota Sinfonia presented a well-received concert of familiar and less well known pieces of classical music. This performance was dedicated to the memory of the Art Park’s founder. On June 26 director Jim Cunningham and a cast of 3 actors presented The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). This parody of all 37 Shakespeare’s plays brought a bit of Fringe Festival sensibility to the park’s tradition of “Shakespeare in the Park.” July 10 Aunt Beverly and Voice of Culture performed a combination of traditional and contemporary African stories and drum and dance from West Africa and Afro-Hip-Hop. The performers were Beverly Cottman and young students of Voice of Culture led by Kenna Cottman. On July 24 the High-48’s presented a concert of classical bluegrass and original songs with a wide range of influences beyond Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs. In our grant application this slot was intended to be filled by the group Buckets and Tap Shoes but we were unable to keep in contact with them through the planning process and made this substitution. The connection between the two – they are both high energy performers whose work features driving rhythms. On August 7 Mu Daiko, an ensemble of Mu Performing Arts, filled the Theater in the Woods with the sounds of Japanese Taiko Drumming. On August 21, Mixed Precipitation presented “Donald Giovanni in Cornlandia: A Picnic Operetta.” This was a 1980’s pop retelling of the 1787 Mozart opera Don Gionvanni the style of classical Italian comedic opera meets ‘80s hair bands and modern day politics. This performance in particular brought many new people to the park who knew of Mixed Precipitation’s work but not about the park. Our community of Dakota County and Eagan is made up primarily of families with young and school-age children, and a growing number of older adults. According to our surveys, this is the audience who attended the Summer Performance Series this season; roughly 60% of the audience was from Dakota County and the other 40% was from the greater Twin Cities area. Each performance in the series attracted slightly different audiences: the Minnesota Sinfonia trended older and more patrons had physical limitations; the High 48s, Mu Daiko and Voice of Culture attracted more families, the Shakespeare and Mixed Precipitation audiences were mostly adults. As a whole the audience continued to be more ethnically diverse. Since these performances are presented without tickets we cannot use sales to track the number of new and returning audience members.

Our three areas of focus are; sustainable seafood through informed consumer choices, advocacy and supporting marine protected areas or other environmental organizations of their choosing. Our evaluation plan includes; audience surveys, Post-performance feedback, audience video interviews, as well as post show press and reviews.","With Audio Description and American Sign Language performances we feel that out outreach efforts resulted in real community diversity. There were 436 patrons for Finding Fish, with an average house size of 31. 104 were persons of color making up about 24% of the audience. 13 patrons identified as seniors and 59 as students. The major artistic goal of Finding Fish was to bring nature and weather into the theater as central characters and intricate parts of a narrative that explores our human relationship with the natural world. We wanted the audience to witness through the continued presence of weather, nature’s unfolding in a constantly changing and eternal flux both beautiful and terrifying, dominating and engulfing the powerless creatures within its grasp. We achieved this mostly through video design with a series of moving/living images rear projected on a scrim that spread across the stage of a Maine seascape framed by pines trees standing on the waters’ edge. These moving images changed from scene to scene from a gathering storm, to a sunrise with a pinkish cloudy sky to a fog and a starry night. This was accompanied by a sound design of water lapping on the shore, waves crashing, foghorns, bells and whistle buoys that gave it all a sense of place, presence and authenticity. Thanks to the talent, skill and imagination of our video/sound designer, who happens to run a small theater in Maine during summers, what we thought would be a major challenge came together quite smoothly and rendered the effect that we hoped to achieve. Somewhat more challenging, in a good way, was the character of Fiona, the fisherman’s wife who in the play is in fact a sea creature, somewhat in the order of a Selkie. The question for us was how does a human being play an animal, without mimicking the traits of that animal’s behavior? How would an animal behave if it had a human body? How can she communicate when she cannot speak? Moreover in all of Fiona’s entrances she is in the nude (clothes are just annoying for an animal), but is quickly covered up by one of the three fishermen. The play’s point about Fiona is that her nude flesh is not her real skin or her identity. Her real skin is a seal skin which she needs to survive in the natural world and has been taken away and hidden by her husband so that she can find fish for him. She is being exploited. Its’ difficult idea to convey, but the great work by the actress playing Fiona and our talented, vigilant director we succeeded in giving nature a voice. Artistically Finding Fish was a great success in our own estimation and a challenge and joy for all the artists who took part. We are most grateful for this experience. The principle community outreach goal around the production of Finding Fish was to raise awareness about the state of our oceans and our natural environment. We held a panel on October 16 titled The Future of Fish and the State of our Oceans. The featured panelist were Jeffery Bolster, historian and author of The Mortal Sea, a book that takes us through a millennium-long environmental history of our impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world, and Julie Morris, a former commissioner of the Florida fish and wildlife agency and a member of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council. On October 23 our feature speaker was Indigenous Nibiwalk Water Walker, Sharon Day who has led walks along the length of the Mississippi, Ohio and Minnesota rivers in extended ceremonies in prayer for our waters. Biology Professor Joshua Lallaman from Saint Mary’s University in Winona spoke about issues of sustainability in Minnesota fisheries. Playwright Carlyle Brown conducted audience talk-backs following every performance. Our program included an overview on Cod fish in the gulf of Maine, where the play is set. Resources for more information and ways for audiences to get involved such as The Ocean Conservancy and The Environmental Defense Fund, a short essay on how these issues of Ocean sustainability relate to Minnesota, and Governor Mark Dayton’s Water Stewardship Pledge with notes actions citizens can take from the local Alliance of Sustainability. Our opening night buffet was provided by Coastal Seafoods. We held a special matinee performance for junior and senior students from Patrick Henry High School in North Minneapolis an age and racial demographic we did not anticipate, as well as the Indigenous youth who attended the performance with Water Walker, Sharon Day. One night a Somali playwright talked about how the presence of the sea in the play reminded him of the desert. And on another night an African-American man who had just been fishing that day, caught a White Bass he could hardly wait to fillet, after seeing the play and hearing the talk back, wished he had thrown it back.

In particular, we hope to increase participation and enthusiastic responses from audience members under 50 years of age. We track audience attendance and ticket sales as a measure of how many people we reach. We also distribute an audience survey at the last concert of the season (with very high percentage response through connection with door prizes) that gives useful evaluation, demographic information, and open-ended feedback.","1: People heard great, varied performances. Repertoire ranged from 400 years ago to now. 2: Support for this series has increased. Over 1/3 of participants attend all four concerts. 3: These concerts build community. People greet each other and the artists, and take pride in these concerts that draw people from a wide region to experience what Lakeville and its Arts Center have to offer. We achieved our goal of sharing a wide variety of chamber music, from early instruments and music of Lyra Baroque to the Classical Contemporary music of Zeitgeist. The concerts went very well, were generally very well received, and the artists were pleased with the venue and the artistic outcomes. We had expected larger audiences, and had hoped in particular to attract larger numbers from teenagers through age 50. More work will have to be done in terms of contacts with area high school music programs. For future seasons we have made several adjustments – 1. Modified ticket prices so student prices are age 18 and under. (This season student prices applied to ages 12 and under.) 2. Be more realistically conservative in our audience projections in estimating ticket revenue as a match to the grant. We had hoped for 80-90 per concert, and actually ranged from 60-70. We reached the intended community. The community reached was similar to past years, with about 28% from the Lakeville area, 11% Apple Valley, 11% Burnsville, 11% from Minneapolis/St Paul, 6% Eden Prairie, with attendance reported from 13 different cities of towns from about a 50-mile radius. (13 survey respondents didn’t list their hometowns). The estimated population benefitting from the concerts closely matched estimates. As always, more would be welcome, particularly school age, 20-40 year olds, and from as wide a demographic as possible.

We intend to send out a survey to all ticket buyers after our production, with the goal of having at least 75% of attendees state that our show met or exceeded their expectations. We will count the number of tickets sold to our special matinee performance. We will design and distribute a survey to all ticket buyers at the completion of our production.","Of the patrons who attended, over 85% rated that the production met or exceeded their expectations, and of participants, over 90% said they would participate in a Chaska Valley Family Theatre production again in the future. Additionally, responses from three senior center leaders indicated that 100% of participants to the senior matinee commented that they enjoyed their outing and would do it again of given a chance. We met most of our goals for this production, though we fell short is a few areas. We held eight performances for the public during our run from February 26 to March 6, 2016, and also held a special weekday matinee luncheon performance geared toward senior citizens. Goal achievement was as follows: We created an artistically excellent, attended by nearly 2200 patrons; we had hoped for 3000. We provided a quality, participatory experience for all involved, especially families. Our senior matinee lunch and a show was attended by 140 patrons, and was a truly memorable experience. We had hoped to get up to 300 for this performance. Both our participant and audience survey results that reflected a high level of satisfaction. We were unable to arrange an ASL-interpreted performance for this production. In the end, our artistic and participation goals were solidly met. Survey comments from audiences including words like ""fantastic costumes and scenery"" and ""glorious musical performances."" Participant survey comments included ""this is the most fun I have had in years!"" Since this was our organizations 20th anniversary production, director and organization co-founder Paula Atkins reached out to many participants from over the years and encouraged them to participate, truly resulting in an ""anniversary,"" celebratory experience. As older-generation musicals, like ""My Fair Lady"" age, so too do the audiences. We were successful bringing those people to this production. Where we fell short, perhaps, is getting more student attendees. 85% of tickets were sold to adults, which was not unexpected, given the fact that the majority of the cast were adults. However, earlier, more thorough marketing to schools, or more discounting of student tickets may have resulted in better youth attendance. We knew going in that, due to the nature of this show (older-style musical, fewer children in cast), that we might have difficulty drawing younger audiences. This came to be true, but overall, we served our targeted demographic well with this production. That is, families from within our community who we serve with quality, affordable, LOCAL, entertainment. In particular, for participants, we were able to draw both old and new amateur participants from within the community for on and off stage roles in the production. Of specific note was the special senior matinee, where busing was provided and a special meal and show were held. In this instance, we were able to bring quality, affordable live musical theater to people who may not otherwise be able to attend due to lack of transportation or funds. One area we continue to struggle is in gaining traction with hearing disabled persons. In the case of this show, we were unable to coordinate a specific date that worked to have our ASL interpreters come to provide their services, so no ASL show was performed. Past efforts have been hit and miss in attendance, with the bulk attending being ASL students/teachers, and often families of deaf persons.

Attendees will be surveyed at the final concert and counted at all three concerts.","Over 4000 attendees came to our Live on the Drive events throughout the summer of 2016 and were exposed to 3 different artist groups. Over 1/4 of attendees were attending for the first time this summer and every attendee we engaged with, left an overwhelming positive response to our concert series. Our artistic goals for the 2016 Live on the Drive concert series covered three areas, the artistic performances, and the audience/community and community awareness. Our first goal was to bring a “diversity of artistic talents together… to highlight their talents and to provide public arts programming where there is little.” Through our three concerts we featured three diverse artistic performers. Our performers were Rio Nido, #MPLS and Ashley Dubose. We were able to feature an Artist Spotlight during an intermission in August due to a total of four rain cancellations throughout the summer. Maria Isa was the featured local poet, in August. Our second goal was to draw the Northside community together and to get them to engage with each other. We saw evidence of this through strong attendance, much like the last couple years. In 2014, we saw an average of 1300 attendees per concert and in 2015, we saw an average of about 1400 attendees at each of the three concerts. This year we had about the same attendance as last year. We were confident that we were going to have an even larger turnout than the previous years since we increased our marketing however, we were struck with a lot of rain which caused us to have to move performances to the assigned rain dates. We are proud that our event is remaining established as a premiere community gathering. After asking many attendees if this was their first Live on the Drive Concert event, one out of every four said it was their first time and that they heard about it previous years from a neighbor or friend. The majority of the attendees lived in 55412 and 55411 North Minneapolis zip codes, and many came from Robbinsdale, whose borders rests on the adjacent side of Victory Memorial Drive. We feel that we were successful in reaching an audience that reflected the diversity of residents in north Minneapolis, but did not actually reach our ambitious numbers for audience turn out. As noted above, over 75% of our audience came from the direct and adjacent zip codes and we also attracted residents from throughout the Twin Cities. The crowd at each concert was notably diverse in racial make-up and age, however we had no measure for socio-economic diversity. We believe our engagement has consistently reached our board and diverse audience and was accomplished this year through our marketing: yard signs, posters, word of mouth, mailings social media and newspaper ads. In the future I think we will make greater efforts at more targeted outreach to cultural groups. This year, two out of three performances featured artist groups of color. We felt very good about the access to all of our concert series. All concerts and planning meetings happened in ADA Accessible spaces. Our event is close to public transit and is completely free. We will be reaching out to local translators to further reach a larger audience through multi-lingual posters next year.

Providing quality theater for the community was a need that was met with this project! The cast was good size filled with parents and their children working side by side as actors, musicians and back stage assistants. The audience loved the show! We continue to get feedback that this was one of our best shows. Due to construction in the high schools in the district, it was necessary to produce this show in one of the middle schools in the district. This provided us with no orchestra pit which is something we rely on for our summer productions. Fortunately, this specific show was orchestrated for a smaller group of musicians thus it was possible to incorporate the musicians within the stage set-up. At first, this appeared to be an incredibly difficult situation, but the artistic team was quite creative in placing the pit within the scenery. This placement ended up providing strong support for the actors on stage and was not a distraction for the audience members. There was a theft of money out of the purses that were stored in the ladies dressing room during tech week. In the future, we will make sure to provide secure storage of valuables during the rehearsal and production process.

The total number of guests attending the spring season will be calculated based off of ticket sales. Guest and artist feedback will be collected through in-formal interviews post-performance and audience member feedback will be gathered through post-performance surveys.","535 audience members attended all of our performances spread across 8 different nights. 96% of audiences reported having a positive experience at the performance. We're even happier to report that 94% of audiences reported learning something new about the issues and topics on which we presented far exceeding our pre-show estimate of 70%. After an extraordinary season of laughter around political issues, The Theater of Public Policy achieved all of the goals it set out to accomplish. Overall, we encountered far more strengths than challenges in this process finding many of our strengths were the result of thoughtful planning and intentional follow-through with a clear focus on defined goals. One of the goals for which we’re most proud is paying our performers for their time and talent. Working artists are often sidelined or expected to offer their art for the love of it without financial compensation. While our artist cost comprises the largest portion of our budget, we're thrilled that we can offer pay rates that match or beat much larger theaters. As we undertook this project, one of the biggest unknowns was bringing in outside artists to participate in our show. With few precedents for bringing different mixed media artists together to create art for one production, we faced the challenge of figuring it out without much guidance. While a challenge, it was also an amazing opportunity to create a model that would suit our needs and reflect our unique creative vision. We invited 8 different regional artists to create works of art inspired by what happened onstage. They created works using markers, watercolors, broken glass mosaic, chalk, pencil and more. While artists mentioned that the subject matter, time limits and live event structure made the opportunity challenging, these constraints pushed them in ways that they valued and all found the overall experience positive. Other arts organizations have contacted me about how they might do something similar at their events. With a limited marketing budget, our ability to devote resources to social media outreach is extremely valuable. To bring diverse communities to our shows, we sent hundreds of personal invites to people and organizations that are stakeholders in these community issues. While not every invitation was accepted, plenty were which allowed us to have the experience of audience/panel Q and A reflected in the artistic process. While many theater companies may explore a relevant community issue in one production, we were able to cover eight very different topics in one season. We featured varied guests including Lt. Governor Tina Smith, Minneapolis City Councilman Abdi Warsame, Reps Pat Garafalo and Frank Hornstein, former Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak exploring issues such as affordable housing, water quality, small town vitality, the history of Minneapolis skid row and the proposed sandpiper pipeline. Overall, we focused on issues facing communities on a neighborhood, city, state and national level reflecting where we’ve been while thinking about how to make our future better. Pushing our success further, repeating a run of shows would have us asking how can we be more relevant to the community and how can we involve artists in new ways that expand their role in the show. The answers would be the basis for future goals. Through intentional planning to ensure those in the house saw themselves reflected in the audience, we succeeded in reaching our intended community with both onstage cast and audience participants. Though not always perfect, when we did encounter a challenge, we made adjustments to ensure our future work was better. Using post-show surveys to gauge new learning from show content, we can emphatically say we reached an audience that was unfamiliar with many of these issues. In several cases where people reported minimal learning from show content, they indicated that they worked closely with the issue on a daily basis so felt they would be comfortable talking about it on stage. While our style of performance is surely on the fringes of political discourse, we do hope that we are reaching people making decisions. Our show was built around the idea that there are not wizards behind the curtain, but we do acknowledge that there are decision makers who go to work every day to make policy happen. This season in particular, we feel strongly that we reached not only political outsiders, but the political class itself. Among those in attendance were city council members, the CEO of the largest affordable housing provider west of Chicago, current and former Minnesota legislators and others. We make a big deal that political people are just like everyone else, but these attendees did humble us. The estimated populations benefiting from our performances were consistent with the actual demographics. Amongst all shows, in total, we had 17 different on stage performers and 8 visual artists. One audience member raised the issue of gender diversity as they were disappointed that the show they attended had only one female performer that night. Yet, the week prior we had four women performers and only one man. From this we learned that it's not just important to have a diverse cast in aggregate, but to make it a priority for every show. As we recruited visual artists to create during our show, we didn't simply contact our own favorites and close friends. We leveraged our networks and used social media to spread the word that we were looking for interested artists. There was no application process or form to complete; all who wanted to participate would be considered. This exposed us to a wide variety of artists for which we had no prior knowledge and gave them a fresh challenge and space to exhibit their work. We continue to make the audio from our shows freely available online. Each show is archived on our website in perpetuity. By offering material online, we have been able to satisfy the content requests of those that were unable to attend live. Since submitting our original grant proposal, our online audience has doubled meaning the number of people accessing our shows online is more than actually attend in person.

We will implement participant and audience follow-up surveys to evaluate our proposed outcomes; the types of surveys will include workshop registration counts, show ticket sale counts, open house attendance counts, guest artist surveys, and post-event assessment with Advisory Board and Ensemble members.","1. Rakkas Minneapolis raised the profile of Turkish dance and music in the Twin Cities; audience surveys show 57% were first-time attendees to one of our events, and 57% responded their knowledge of Turkish dance and music greatly increased. 2. Dancers will travel to Minnesota for Turkish dance workshops; on a low-high scale of 1-5, 33 dancers rated all the workshops 4.83-5.0. 3. New collaborative networks have been formed. Offer a depth and variety of dance workshops. Achieved by offering 11 different dance workshops. Strength: Appealed to a broad range of dancer interests and skills. Challenge: Participants had to choose one workshop over another if they ran concurrently. Strategies: Hold fewer workshops; add more days to event to avoid scheduling overlap. Offer program for attendees to experience a range of Middle Eastern culture. Achieved via Open House and Gala Show. Open House provided a means learn about guest instructors dance styles, who inspires them, and why they dance. Gala Show showcased Turkish dance and music spanning ancient to modern times from countries that were part of the former Ottoman Empire. Strengths: Live music created a relaxed Open House setting; guest artists greeted and mingled with audience before the Open House Q and A session began; Gala Show featured a broad range of dance performances, vocals, and live musical performances. Open House Challenge: Possible audience reluctance to ask questions during Q and A. Open House Strategies: We prepared advance questions for audience to read. Gala Show Strength: Wide variety of music, dances, and costumes kept the audience engaged. Gala Show Challenge: Problems with the venue sound system. 3 hour sound check was insufficient for venue staff to get their sound equipment working properly for the musicians. The resulting monitor feedback detracted from their performance. Gala Show Strategies: A detailed report of technical issues was provided to venue manager. If we use this venue again, additional sound check time and better trained technicians will be requested to ensure proper sound system function. Strengthen participant technical and creative skills, regardless of dance experience. Achieved. Participants responded in exit surveys their technical and creative skills were greatly enhanced by the workshops. Experienced dancers were challenged by new dance styles, and newer dancers were given the tools to tailor the dance steps to their level. Challenge: Offer future workshops with instructors skilled in engaging, challenging, and inspiring all levels of dancers. Strategy: Continue to research high-caliber instructors through attending local, national, and international dance workshops. Develop collaborative partnerships. Achieved via natural collaboration that occurs when artists come together. Strength: Participants and guest artists have requested we begin to plan the next Rakkas Minneapolis. All expressed wanting to be involved each other’s future events. Challenge: Increase local Middle Eastern dance community involvement. Our event conflicted with events the local dance community participates in (Renaissance Festival, State Fair, restaurant gigs, and mandatory rehearsals). Strategies: Research event venues with more open schedules, hold event at a different time of year Community/Audience/Attendees Evaluation. Rakkas Minneapolis was the first local event to provide both Turkish and Egyptian dance workshops to the local dance community, and a positive example on creating an event welcoming for all dance styles. Participants had prior exposure to Turkish Romani dance, but few workshop opportunities to learn it. Our Romani workshops taught by Reyhan Tuzsuz sold out prior to the start of Rakkas Minneapolis, indicating an artistic need was met. Workshops taught by Serkan Tutar and Artemis Mourat also were filled, indicating another artistic need was met. Some of the participant’s comments: ""I have learned so much and have so much information to take home and digest!"" ""Warm, generous, welcoming, and well-prepared instructors and organizers - impressive! This doesn't happen here for Middle Eastern Dance!"" Audience response to the Anatolian Origins Gala Show was also positive, including this positive response from the local Turkish-American community: ""Thank you for representing our culture so well. You did an incredible job!"" We did not receive as much local Middle Eastern dancer participation as hoped. Despite notifying local dancers through social media, direct communication, and multiple local newspaper/magazine coverage, there were scheduling conflicts that could not be avoided. We will continue our outreach efforts with the local dancers to increase their participation in our Turkish dance events. Diversity: We are pleased Rakkas Minneapolis had an increase in the diversity of participants from our 2013 Romani Festival event: African-American participation increased from 2 individuals to 5; Asian-American participation increased from no individuals to 2; Egyptian-style dancer participation increased by 67%. Workshop goal of increased attendance of male dancers was not met: we had one participant in 2013 and one at Rakkas Minneapolis. To address the challenge of very few male Middle Eastern dancers in the Twin Cities our Artistic Captain, Benjamin Lamb, is exploring ways to offer Middle Eastern dance classes for men. Overall we will continue to explore ways to increase diversity from all backgrounds. Our collaboration with the local Turkish American Association has yielded very positive results, and we are developing strategies to continue working with Turkish American Association in the future. We were partially successful in meeting our accessibility goals: Early Bird and Build Your Own package pricing options were successful, and our 4 volunteer positions for the gala show were filled. We did not receive any accommodation requests from physically-challenged dancers, requests for a Sign Language Interpreter, or for Braille printing; payment plans for workshop registration and reduced fee scholarships were not utilized. Using social media data, we had over 975 views of the scholarship availability, therefore we are confident we successfully promoted it. We will explore additional options to promote scholarships in the future.

In addition, approx. 200 seniors were reached in open rehearsals/preview concerts at Friendship Village and The Colony. 93 attendees (15%+) indicated this was the FIRST time they had attended an Edina Chorale concert. The favorite aspect for audience and singers was the music selection/repertoire. Edina Chorale successfully achieved all six artistic goals. Goal 1: ‘explore love from different perspectives and across generations’ was done through music and stories from different viewpoints. Music was programmed into five segments: young love, longing/separation, marriage/weddings, forbidden love and love of mankind. Each segment featured a written story. Surveys reported the audience was ‘delighted and moved’ by the musical/story selections. Music featured classics of Gershwin and West Side Story and unexpected songs of Annie Lennox, k.d. lang and Billy Joel. Stories were by turn tender and funny achieving goal 4. Valentine's weekend provided the perfect backdrop for a special event accomplishing goal 2: ‘create a special event for everyone’. Wine, desserts and beverages were served; the traditional red/white decor created a festive, love-inspired venue. Vocalist/guest artist Prudence Johnson performed 3 solo pieces with accompanist Dan Chouinard and 3 pieces with the choir. Audience and singers alike were delighted to hear her perform; singers added Ms. Johnson provided a level of professionalism that was very helpful to observe. Surveys indicated singers felt well-prepared for a high-quality performance. A large audience, professional musicians and soloist contributed to singer’s enthusiasm/work ethic preparing for the concerts. Goals 3 and 5 were achieved by singing unexpected songs with Ms. Johnson that challenged singers and delighted the audience presenting a professional concert. Goal 6: “attract/engage a multi-generational audience with focus on seniors’ was met as nearly 50% of the attendees 65 and older. Edina Chorale focused on seniors through open rehearsals, reduced ticket pricing, music selections, location, concert time and had resounding success. One item that worked well was two open rehearsals at senior living locations; the benefit being a chance to perform music before a live audience before the concert. Residents enjoyed the music and actively engaged in the creative process of learning and following the conductor's directions. The open rehearsals served an added benefit of being a marketing tool for the chorus. Many of these residents attended and invited friends. A significant challenge was the size of the venue - the seating was tight as 5 additional tables were added each night to accommodate the extra ticket sales. A ticket limit or added concerts may allow room between tables for seniors. Theater-style seating and refreshments served at intermission may be another option. The intended communities of the audience and Edina Chorale were successfully served by 'Seasons of Love'. 84 singers and 3 staff members participated in 2016 vs. 67 singers and 3 staff in 2015. Ticket sales of about 590 compared to under 500 for the 2015 Pops Concert. 11 singers participated in their first pops concert having joined Edina Chorale in September and late-November. The focus on seniors was very successful. 47% of tickets were sold to seniors, due to reduced price ($10 vs. $20), accessible location and Saturday afternoon offering. In addition, 200 senior citizens were reached in open rehearsal/concert previews. This allowed Edina Chorale to reach many who do not have physical ability or transportation means to attend most concerts. The addition of Prudence Johnson to the program attracted some new audience members and added value for singers, but not many audience members listed Ms. Johnson as a primary reason for attending. The exploration of different perspectives on love created a new level of awareness and empathy among singers, and most likely audience members as well. The stories about a lesbian love affair and a gestational surrogate complemented the more traditional stories about romantic love.",,17900,"Other, local or private",25900,,"Scott Smith, Ann Sundberg, Susan Tarnowski, Ed Skelly, Terri Burks, Michael Frey, David Beatty, Freda Marver, Karen Olson, Karina Carlson, Jack Kemme, Donna Helin, Diane Etling, Anita Hoffman, Shea Johnson, Jean Gregory, Thomas Paulson, Becky Borrell",0.00,"Edina Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Seasons of Love, a choral concert celebrating the many types and stages of love featuring guest singer Connie Evingson.

Some people had to be turned away due to the capacity limits of some performance spaces Flying Foot Forum achieved its artistic goals for this grant. Retitled PASSING THROUGH PIG’S EYE, the production ran from 8/25/16 thru 9/11/16 in downtown St Paul. This exciting dance event: Showcased a series of vibrant percussive performances; Explored a wide range of percussive possibilities combining music, dance, text and visual elements; Performed at multiple sites in downtown St Paul; Expanded audiences for the Flying Foot Forum, developing new ways to engage them. 11 creative collaborators created a full evening of dance around a central theme. Audiences were treated to new experiences by traveling with the performers to different locations where they participated in a variety of ways: dancing, singing and thinking about questions posed by the performers. The production took place in various locations in St. Paul including the Hamm Building and Landmark Center – but went beyond that concept by inhabiting the whole area of downtown around Park Square Theatre, sometimes crossing paths with other productions, pedal pubs and Pokemon Go players. People stopped on the street to watch. Others asked for a flier. This excerpt encapsulates the event’s success: ""If you are a dance aficionado, the variety of this sampler platter will tickle your aesthetic taste buds. But ‘Passing Through Pig’s Eye' might be the ideal introduction for those who don’t consider themselves 'dance people.' It’s engaging and accessible; rangy in style and mood; energetic, educational and a whole lot of fun."" Dominic Papatola, Pioneer Press. Strengths/Challenges of Artistic Process: Working with 11 separate creators and collaborators was exciting and stretched everyone in new ways. Dancers who rarely speak or sing had to deliver lines, and led “tour groups” of audience members. Musicians played, but were also asked to sing and dance. Everyone used multiple skills, and in some cases developed skills they didn’t know they had! The creative and rehearsal process was also complex. While project lead, Joe Chvala, fully briefed each collaborator on the concept, everyone worked independently. When the completed pieces were reviewed, determining how they would fit together was tricky. Some dances were longer than others. Some evolved and didn’t easily fit the original concept. Accessibility, potential weather issues and how to safely move the audience thru the city also posed challenges. Developing the final program was like working on a moving, 3- dimensional puzzle. Regardless, it’s clear that these challenges also enriched the work, making it more unique than it might have been otherwise. What Might Be Done Differently “Next Time”: In the future, Chvala would likely become more involved in the creative process of each of the pieces so that they could thread together more easily. Or, each choreographer might be given carte blanche for a more traditional repertory concert where a piece lives on its own without having to fit the context of an entire evening. PASSING THROUGH PIG’S EYE was very successful at reaching its intended community. 16 artists were involved as collaborators and performers onstage, and another seven scenic and technical artists were involved in creating the aesthetics of the work. From an audience perspective, attendance exceeded our expectations. There were two “tracks” for the show (each named after a fabled gangster in St Paul’s history), enabling participants to experience very different versions of the production. Some patrons opted to return for a second night to experience the performances in the “other” track. The attendees were, perhaps, a bit more diverse that expected and younger that the typical dance and theatre-going audiences (many were in their 20s and 30s). There were also a large number of people who had never seen the Flying Foot Forum perform. This may have been the result of the excellent press received for the show. There were four exceptional reviews, as well as a preview cover story in the entertainment section of the Pioneer Press. Attendance was also enhanced because Park Square Theatre assisted with marketing and provided access to their extensive audience database. The program was well-designed to provide accessibility to everyone who wished to participate. All the buildings and the streets involved in the traveling portion of the performances were wheelchair accessible. Performers were assigned to direct people who might need them to elevators, and assisted people in getting from one place to the next. There were also seating areas designated in each location for patrons who used wheelchairs. One patron in wheelchair was a 101 year-old woman who had been a docent at the Landmark Center when she was younger. When asked if we got all the history right, she responded with a definitive “yes!” Chairs were provided in all locations for people who needed to sit. While there was a significant amount of time traveling from one venue to the next, rest stops were built-in to make sure that the walking was never unpleasant for each track of people made up of different ages and physical ability. Finally, two ASL interpreters were hired for the signed performances because there were two tracks in the show. There was (at least) one interpreter in each location at all times.",,73800,"Other, local or private",83800,,"Timothy Fuller, Joan Loshek, Joe Chvala",0.00,"Flying Foot Forum","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Dancing Through the Streets, a joyous community event for young and old alike that takes audiences through downtown St Paul on a journey filled with percussive dance, drumming, and music.

32574,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","To evaluate Don Quixote, our goals are twofold: to assess the students' participation we will hold post-play talks to evaluate not only the number of students served, but also their investment in the creation and characters of the play. To gauge our Guthrie audience's investment in the piece, we will provide audience surveys to review their connection with the characters and to monitor the number of supplementary play guides distributed to measure their interest in the story and the original source materials. To collect our evaluation criteria, we will hold numerous post-play discussions and distribute surveys for both our students and our Guthrie audiences. We will count the number of students, new audience members, and in particular any students who continue to stay engaged with the production after it transfers to the Guthrie.","Many of our small theater peers have performed at the Guthrie Theater and ultimately have been unsatisfied with the artistic product of their work, because they felt inclined to overproduce their material so it ""rose to Guthrie standards."" Four Humors’ biggest takeaway was collaboratively create a piece, retain its artistic identity, and not to feel pressured to match the aesthetics of our venue. Four Humors had three artistic goals for this production of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha: to create an adaptation of this renowned piece of literature in an honest way that highlights its positive outlook and unique style of humor, which piques audience interest in revisiting the original text; to increase the participating students’ sense of empathy towards people that they may write off as “crazy” or different through a close analysis of the text and creation of a physical character for the stage; and to create a show that demonstrates that small theater does not mean amateur, it means small budget. Artistic Director Jason Ballweber believes that the company created an adaptation that was true and honest to the source material. Numerous audience members and survey respondents also commented both on the faithfulness of the production to the source material and about wanting revisit and more closely explore the novel. By the end of the student workshops the students had a much easier time understanding Don Quixote’s world. Also, all participants had the opportunity to perform and by playing the character Don Quixote, he became less of a feeble-minded fool and more of a misguided dreamer. The workshops with the students was the biggest success of this project. Because of the additional workshops the company had additional time to work with the material, which helped the piece tremendously. Four Humors’ biggest strength is the relationship to the performers. By letting all the actors collaborate in the creation of the piece, a more fully realized story is ultimately told through many voices. Finally, the audiences at the Guthrie were wowed by the creative presentation. Through the work with video projection, Four Humors was able to show an audience modern theater techniques, while staying true to actor-driven theater through the use of imaginative puppeteering. The one drawback was the limited amount of time to rehearse with the technology in the performance space. Similar to our artistic success, Four Humors met its audience goals with this production of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. By offering two student workshops with the University of Minnesota and Augsburg College, the company was able to work with and perform for an engaged student community. Based off audience surveys, 15% of our audience was under the age 24. Those figures do not include a special student matinee that was performed at the Guthrie’s Dowling Studio, the first student matinee that has been performed by a guest company in the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater. Four Humors was also able to engage with our audiences through 3 post-play discussions were held for the audiences, 2 for the general public and one specifically for the student matinee. We also employed our board members to greet and welcome guests in the lobby before and after every performance. In addition to strong student participation, Four Humors was also able to perform for a completely new audience. According to audience surveys, over 70% of our audiences had not seen a Four Humors performance before. Over 1,700 audience members attended Don Quixote and we performed to multiple sold-out crowds in the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater.",,7800,"Other, local or private",17800,,"Mark Long, Jason Ballweber, Kristin Campbell, Brian Columbus, Seth Goodspeed, Ryan Lear, Rachel Levitt, Nancy Paul, Matt Spring, Doug Tiede",0.00,"Four Humors Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for an original stage adaptation of Don Quixote of La Mancha.

In addition, Hope Theater Company connects cultures by creating theatrical experiences that address our common human apprehensions such as love, loss, hatred and war. Founded by a group of immigrant Iranian artists, we present original theatrical works, and reinterpretations of world classics, that speak to a modern audience. Response from the participating artists, audiences and non-profit partners: We will conduct a written survey of all the project participants to get their feedback on their experiences with the project and their recommendations for our future activities. Also, we expect that our endeavor will attract new artists, whether they are actors, designers or directors that will be interested in working with us in the future.

Moving to Minneapolis to expand our audience, and reaching out to new audiences in new place in Minneapolis and increase the reach of our productions. Also, discovering a great of artists who are passionate about Hope Theater Company. Recent Experiences"" represents the second project of our company, Hope Theater Company. Producing ""Recent Experiences"" was a pivotal second step toward achieving our goals, second and foremost of which is achieving closeness with our community, and opening the lines of communication and discussion with our new audience. Some Outcomes: The story was lovely story from Canadian Play writer Nadia Ross and Jacob Wren. They are well known writers in Canada. Story was about an African American man in 1900 that he was fell in love with White lady. They get together without going to church and without telling to anybody that they married. We are following this story from 1900 to 2007, and listening to four generations stories. We were lucky because our audiences were positively impacted, and enjoyed the show almost unanimously. Our artistic process began in February 21, 2016. After securing our venue, Phoenix Theater, Which is located in Minneapolis, we started our rehearsal. During first part of rehearsal time we have met many actors and artists who love to be part of this project. Finally, we have found our all 6 actors. The Rehearsal process included extensive research with the actors on the setting, story, and characters in the script for two and half months. ""Recent Experiences"" garnered amazing results as the debut production for Hope Theater Company. In addition to production a socially and politically relevant piece which was well-received by its audience, we were successful in the following goals: A. Introducing our second production and Hope Theater Company to the Twin Cities. B. Hosting a successful fundraiser, where we raised funds for our project and more than that, made more new and valuable friends within our new community. C. Discovering a great of artists who are passionate about Hope Theater Company and its goals, and who we hope to collaborate with in the future. (We have two new members in our company now which we are so excited about them.) D. Reaching out to new audiences in new place in Minneapolis and increase the reach of our productions. E. Obtaining the attention of local media, by garnering some reviews, a write-up in the Minnesota playlist, MNartist website, and an interview piece with Persian media, all of which can be found below. F. Engaging in meaningful conversations with our audience. We facilitated multiple post-show discussions, where we received feedback from our audience, answered their questions, and engaged in extremely meaningful conversation between the company and the audience. G. We had two weeks venue and 10 shows in Phoenix Theater, and during this time, we found almost two hundred eighty audiences. Also more than 15 artists came and see our play. I. We had one night ASL for our play and we had some people at that night who need ASL and it was great to have ASL signer for them. We believe we are off to a great second step on our way to building a secure and exciting future for our company. We started with: Amy Danielson, our communications director, introduce Second project of Hope Theater Company and promoted ""Recent experiences"" on social media, Minnesota Playlist, the MNDaily, City Page and MNartist. She also helped us develop and improving our website and our page in Face Book too. It was instrumental in promoting ""Recent Experiences"" in the community at-large. One of wonderful point for us was working with Rich Ryan local photographer. I invited him to join with us and collaborated with me during the project and results were amazing photos which we published in our website and our Facebook page. After these amazing jobs, we have gotten verity of people who involved in our project and our venue. We believe that moving to Minneapolis help us to find more new generation audience and also we have gotten more people who were interested about Hope Theater Company's goals and plan for future. In fact, after this project; two of our actors, Kimberly Willow, and Philip Matthews were excited to involve to Hope Theater Company, and they are part of our company now. In addition, we were lucky to have some students from University of Minnesota who came to see our play and it was first time for us to attract new generation. We hope that if we will continue our productions, we are going to be more popular in twin Cities and we can involve more and more audience with different culture and ages.

Ananya dance presented a special piece on social justice created and dedicated to Indiafest--it was commissioned by and created for and premiered at India Fest. Katha dance presented Rubaiyat on Indiafest state which was again very well received. We also had Pangea create a special play for youth leadership where 17 teens perform.

Ensure there is something for everyone – all ages, Jewish and non-Jewish, GLBT, etc.: Most ticketed events were for adults 18+, but two were appropriate for teens. One event was geared towards the GLBT community, and we offered one workshop for children. Provide learning opportunities in addition to entertainment experiences: There were two workshops (Improv Comedy and Laughter Yoga), as well as Q and A opportunities with some of the artists following their events.

32580,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Audience surveys showed that 90% of respondents indicated the event increased their awareness of Jewish identity or culture. Audience surveys also showed that at least 10% of respondents are under 40 years of age, and at least 30% are attending a Jewish Book Series event for the first time. We will design a program booklet survey asking audience members to volunteer demographic data (age, race, gender, income, connection to the Jewish community, etc.) and how they heard about the event. The survey will also specifically ask participants whether the event increased their awareness of Jewish identity or culture, and if so, in what way.","Over 50 people attended at least one event throughout this author series that had never previously participated in a Jewish arts program. Approximately 30% of attendees chose to purchase the author’s book after hearing them speak, indicating a desire to delve deeper into literature. Our proposal consisted of four artistic goals. We believe that all of these goals were met during the course of our project. Our first goal, to celebrate and explore Jewish identity and culture and highlight the rich diversity of the Jewish experience through a variety of engaging and unique narrative voices, was met by the wide range of topics discussed by our featured authors, as well as their unique backgrounds. Topics ranged from interfaith friendships and marriages to stay-at-home fathers, and from tensions between Israelis and Palestinians to rock n roll. The range of topics throughout the series also helped us to meet another goal, to attract and engage a broad audience by presenting notable artists likely to have wide recognition and appeal. Several audience members attended two, or even all three events, but many simply attended the singular event that they connected most deeply with on an individual basis. Although attendance numbers were not as high as we had hoped overall, we did succeed in attracting audience members from many walks of life. As books struggle to stay relevant in our ever more technology-driven world, we hoped to honor and celebrate literature and the written word through these events. We believe this goal was accomplished first by simply inviting these authors to come and speak to our community, and to share their stories and their art form with us. We also accomplished this by making copies of each author’s book available for sale at their event. Some audience members attended having already read the book, but many came simply because they were interested in the topic. After hearing from these authors, many in the latter group were excited to continue exploring the topic at hand by reading the author’s book. Our final goal, to build community and strengthen individual growth by stimulating dialogue and discussion was met through rich, engaging conversation between audience and authors. We successfully reached members of all three different audiences that we set out to target, including people who are already strongly identified with and active in the local Jewish community, people who have a connection to the local Jewish community but are not actively involved, and people who may have an interest in Jewish arts and culture or overlapping areas of interest. Each of the three events had audience members from each of these three categories, although interestingly, and somewhat unintentionally, each event seemed to attract more from a different category. Our first event, with author/journalist and illustrator Christopher Noxon, who addressed issues of interfaith marriage and stay-at-home fathers, attracted primarily members of our first targeted audience, those that already have strong ties to the local Jewish community. Those that have a more indirect connection to the local Jewish community, such as secular or unaffiliated Jews and non-Jewish friends and family members, were the primary audience for our second event with author and journalist Anthony David, who addressed tensions between Israelis and Palestinians through the story of a surprising friendship between two powerful women on each side of the conflict. Our third event, featuring musician Steve Katz, welcomed a large number of non-Jews with an overlapping interest in Katz’s music. By hosting all of our events in our own auditorium, we ensured a space that was open and accessible to all, with step-free entrances and wheelchair access. Attendees who were not able to provide their own transportation utilized our Special Transportation Services certified transportation program, and a small number of ticket fees were waived based on need.",,26218,"Other, local or private",36218,,"Howard Orenstein, Tom Cytron-Hysom, Ken Garelick, Patrick Zimmerman, Jeffrey Tane, Jennifer Bagdade, S Zalman Bendet, Lisa Bernick, Herman Birnberg, Tim Bloom, Stephanie Chauss, Lisa Cohen, Bruce Fink, Michael Garr, Laurie Goldfarb, Raleigh Johnson, Todd Johnson, Brian Kamin, Phyllis Karasov, David Kristal, Mark Lerman, Stephanie Levine, Tim Oskey, Marvin Pertzik, Danielle Salus, Stuart Sanders, Michelle Shaller, Marilyn Smith, Rick Smookler, Adam Stern, Susan Tervola",0.00,"Jewish Community Center of the Greater Saint Paul Area","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present Christopher Noxon, Alan Dershowitz, and Steve Katz as part of the Twin Cities Jewish Book Series, an annual literary celebration of Jewish arts and culture.

We hope produce the regional premiere of this new play that will be perceived as of high quality; we want engage new audience members in the age range 21-49; and we want to foster thought about personal identity in our diverse and assimilated society. Audience survey of patrons when purchasing tickets will provide information on age range of individuals attending. Audience feedback will provide information on what audiences feel they have learned, and their feedback along with press reviews will provide information on the artistic quality perceived of the show.","906 patrons attended 15 performances and 113 attended the three complementary programs, all of which were free. Surveyed patrons aged 18-49 made up 26% of ""Bad Jews"" attendees, up from 6% for our previous production. A valuable connection was made with participating community partner Beth Jacob Congregation, which brought in 15 of 47 young patrons who attended the 20s and 30s Night. Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company produced a top quality regional premiere of ""Bad Jews"" at the Highland Park Community Center, Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s theater home. It ran for 15 performances, April 30 to May 22. There were 906 attendees. The production received 6 reviews noting its artistic achievement as a “sharp comedy” (Star Tribune) that was “compelling, hilarious, well-acted” (Cherry and Spoon) with “masterful direction” (MN Playlist). We received over 15 unsolicited messages through email and social media from impacted audience members who identified with the emotional performances. Michael S. emailed us to say “There were audible sobs from the audience before applause at the final curtain, a fine example of why I love the theatre.” The project successfully fostered thought about personal identity in our diverse and assimilated society. The blog TC Jewfolk praised the production for posing “deeply personal questions about identity and legacy” and providing “opportunity for community discussion.” Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s Outreach and Engagement committee designed three Doorways programs to facilitate conversation around Bad Jews: a continuing legal education seminar that weaved perspectives on inheritance from secular law, Jewish law and familial obligation; a storytelling event at Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s space that allowed patrons to share their own family drama; and a 20s and 30s Night which offered patrons 20-39 discounted tickets ($15) and entry to a private event with the Bad Jews cast at the Highland Grill restaurant. These Doorways programs were attended by over 100 patrons: 52 at the continuing legal education seminar, 47 at the 20s and 30s Night event and 14 at the storytelling event. Patrons aged 18-49 made up 26% of Bad Jews attendees, compared to 6% for our previous production (""The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife""), proving success in engaging our target audience. Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company made effective use of social media to reach our target audience. During our Facebook campaign (March 13-May 28), our page averaged 322 unique users/day with users ages 25-34 making up 30-40% of those reached/week. Through incentive-led marketing, we held ticket and gift card giveaways, and discounted student group tickets ($14) and student rush tickets ($12). We offered comp tickets to reviewers from culture sites (American Jewish World, TC Jewfolk, Not So Kosher podcast) and theater blogs (Cherry and Spoon, MN TheaterLove, MN Playlist, Talkin’ Broadway) to increase visibility to younger audiences who read and share information online. Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company created a one-to-one communications plan to offer group sale packages and engagement opportunities. We contacted university-level students and community organizations. We faced some challenges with universities whose semesters were ending and groups whose own programming prevented participation. Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s most significant partnership was with Beth Jacob, who co-promoted 20s and 30s Night. 15 of the 47 attendees at Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s 20s and 30s Night came through Beth Jacob’s efforts. As a cultural learning experience on identity, assimilation and community, ""Bad Jews"" brought together a diverse audience. Through our survey at time of their ticket purchase, our audience self-identified religious and cultural backgrounds. 64% self-identified as Jewish, higher than our average. Other audience members described themselves as Atheist, Agnostic, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopalian, Muslim, Lutheran, Messianic, Presbyterian, Protestant, and Unitarian. While Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company always produces stories based in Jewish content, the questions ""Bad Jews"" posed around how to “correctly” perform Jewish identity may have attracted a larger percentage of audience members who are Jewish. This project was promoted for teens and up, and successfully drew patrons aged 18-49 (26%), 50-64 (31%) and 65+ (42%). Nine artists and staff involved with the show were in our target age range of 18-49, four of whom were new to the theater. The Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company’s Outreach and Engagement committee brought together a diverse group of staff, artists and board members to plan our three Doorways programs. The programs explored the themes of the play and impacted over 100 participants, including artists, cultural leaders and community organization leaders. Our performance space was advertised in all materials as fully accessible. 15 patrons requested access seats including wheelchair seating and seats without impediment of stairs. Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company also designated one performance for audio description. In addition to our range of ticket pricing ($32-12) and group discounts, patrons 20-39 were eligible to receive discount tickets ($15) to attend on a designated 20s and 30s Night performance. Doorways programs were free and open to the community. The theater is accessible by several public transportation lines. As a supplement, Beth Jacob Congregation, one of our Doorways event partners, already had in place a volunteer system of providing transportation to make events accessible to both Beth Jacob members and non-Beth Jacob members.

Audience surveys indicated that 70% of respondents would like to see the site host additional music festivals, concerts and cultural/community events. The Midtown Global Music Festival took place on Saturday, July 9th from 10:30 AM until 8:30 PM. We did achieve our artistic goals. The event indeed attracted a diverse audience. ETHNICITY: 54%-White,-19% African American-7% Latino-6%, East African-5% Mixed-4% Asian-4%, Other-4%. AGE: 0/18-6%, 18/30-27%, 31/45-20%, 45/60-27%, 60+-18%. RESIDENCE: Neighborhood-20%, Minneapolis-38%, Minneapolis Suburb-21%, St Paul-9%, St Paul Suburb-7%, Outlying/out state-5%. Performance artists represented a wide array of cultural stylings including dance, (Native American, Middle Eastern, Bollywood, salsa, belly, stepping, Somali), music (jazz, salsa, reggae, folk, Swedish, Ecuadorian) and display/culinary-Midtown Global Music Festival tenants and day table renters. We believe Midtown Global Music Festival 2016 was again another successful demonstration to the power of arts-based community development. There is something special going on, especially considering the events that had taken place the week prior to the event, to see people from all walks of life take part in a group salsa dance lesson or jiving to a top notch reggae band. What worked? The lineup! Our group received numerous comments on the quality of the performances. Particular thanks go to headliner The Wibesman, Q-band, J. Most's Command Steppers and Kalpulli Ketzalcoatlicue, all of whom put on spirited performances. What didn't work? To be honest and compared to last year's event (the site had no power until 3 PM), Midtown Global Music Festival 2016 went off without a hitch. The weather couldn't have been better--82%, sunny with a pleasant breeze. Strengths/Challenges-Again, the lineup was a strength. Instead of a second stage, we rented a quality dance floor...a suggestion from last year brought up to us by our dance artists. Our stage and sound vendors were again wonderful, professional and of quality. Do differently-Perhaps add another global artist in place of an US-based style, a minor consideration. Reach community-Yes and no. Yes, we did attract a diverse audience and our participants represented a wide array of art forms. However, we fell short (first time in six years) in meeting our attendance objectives. Actual vs. grant app forecast: Adult attendees: 6,500/8,500 (-31%), youth attendees: 800/1,000 (-25%), total: 7,300 (actual)/9,500 (forecasted). These outcomes were somewhat of a shock to us, primarily because the event attracted significantly more earned media than our prior five ('16: $73.8K, '11-'15 average: $28K, +163%). In addition, it was to be the highlight of the Midtown Global Market's 10th Anniversary. Our conclusion/theory: The racial unrest fueled in part by the Philando Castile shooting motivated most regional residents to stay near their homes. Adding fuel to this sentiment was the fact that social media channels were active in regards to potentially troublesome events that may take place. Supporting our theory were the number of discussions on race relations that took place during the event. For many, a colorful and festive celebration was not in alignment with the vibe being experienced by most in the 7-County Metro. Though a dip in the road, Midtown Global Music Festival attendance is still trending upward in the long run vs. its initial three years and relatively close to 2014's mark. Another bright spot...door counts indicated nearly 3,000 people attended the event after 4:30 PM. Adult artists benefiting: 100/75 (+33%) Of note: 10 children under the age of 18 also performed with their respective dance troupes. Diversity. As mentioned in the prior section, we do believe we reached a very diverse audience in terms of age, ethnicity and where people live. In terms of doing something differently, it would be worthwhile to encourage our performing artists to regularly post on their websites and social media they'll be performing at our event. Many did; however, there is room to improve. Accessibility: Midtown Global Music Festival planning meetings are open to anyone wishing to contribute. Cultural Program Manager Becky George is a member of numerous neighborhood boards and outreach programs and encourages her contacts to assist our efforts. Her networking efforts begin in early April. The Midtown Global Music Festival is 100% ADA compliant. We had a handicap accessible lavatory near the outside music grounds. We placed more pop-up tents near the stage area for shade.

Saw representation of audience members identifying as Lebanese, Somali, Other Arab, European Americans, Latinx, South Asian, East Asian, African American, and Caribbean. We were very happy with the artistic outcome of our project. We wrote plays that delved deep into issues of ""I Come from There"" in terms of immigration, home, exile, and community. We worked with local community members to cull stories and present stories on stage. The actors came from our communities and many acted for the first time in their own stories. The audiences were representative of our communities and we had heartfelt conversations with them. It was an amazing experience artistically for all involved. We were so happy with the outcome. What didn't work: There was not a lot that didn't work, actually. I guess the only feedback would be that everyone wanted more in every way. More time to explore together, more performances, more connections and community. The experience was fantastic. I don't know that I would do much different if had the opportunity to do it again - maybe run the plays for two weekends and hire a stage manager. The only difference in the expected community and the actual community was the participation of Somali Americans as audience members. We did not predict so many Somalis would come to our show and participate in our audience. That was a great surprise. Also the Lebanese community, who almost never shows up for arts events came out in full force. The reason for both of these welcome surprises is that we involved members of both communities in the process of research and presentation, and we did some targeted outreach.

Enthusiasm for these concerts will be measured by full-to-capacity audiences for each concert at Nicollet Island and excited applause for each selection. We evaluate the outcomes of our concert events by counting our audiences, collecting participant surveys from senior group leaders, observing and noting audience response to the music and hospitality at our concert events, and talking to our patrons and volunteers for feedback. The greatest indicator that our outcomes meet and exceed our expectations is the clamor for reservations in January, and the rush of seniors who wait outside the venue an hour and a half before the concert hoping to get seats close to the orchestra.","About 2,250 people attended 5 concerts: 500 each x 4 at Nicollet Island; and 250 at Elliot Park. 45 musicians, 1 conductor and two guest artists performed. Audience members enjoyed these performances, judging from enthusiastic applause and survey comments: “The whole thing is wonderful! Great setting, wonderful music, excellent volunteers and the seniors love having the treats.” – Group Leader. The artistic goal of this project, “to provide artistically excellent, live orchestra performances, created especially for audiences that usually do not have access to such performances,” was achieved. Concerts were highly successful, drawing large crowds of people (averaging 500 at Nicollet Island) who provided excellent feedback for evaluation. Artistic quality was high for the orchestra, guest artists were excellent and personable with the audience, and repertoire was an obvious hit with seniors. They especially enjoyed Gershwin’s “American in Paris,” along with the patriotic tunes in the MPO’s Fourth of July celebration. The Minneapolis Pops Orchestra collaborated with internationally renowned Celtic string duo Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas in a performance at Nicollet Island. Soloists performed an array of Scottish and Celtic music with great artistry. Several new arrangements for orchestral accompaniment with the duo were premiered as well. The artistic process is challenging every year for several reasons: (1) Only one rehearsal for each concert; (2) performances in different venues than rehearsals; (3) outdoor venues with wind, sun, high or low temperatures, etc. Musicians and administrators have learned to adjust to all these factors, and in fact enjoy the challenge. Unfortunately, lack of funding forced the cancellation of the St Paul performance. Originally scheduled for Cerenity/Humboldt, we had changed the location to Como Park Pavilion in order to increase general audience, draw more seniors from St Paul, and provide a more convenient venue for St Paul patrons who already attended Nicollet Island concerts. This was the only change to “Free Concerts for Seniors.” The community served was exactly as listed in the proposal: “low-income senior citizens, many living with disabilities.” Senior activity centers and day care facilities serving low-income seniors were invited to the four Nicollet Island concerts, which were at seating capacity for all four performances. Seniors from the Elliot Park neighborhood and Augustana Residence (across the street) attended that performance. Attendance at Elliot Park was higher than usual because of the lovely weather the day of the performance. “We love everything about coming . . . the comfortable space, fantastic refreshments, generous donors; but most of all hearing the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra’s splendid performance! Oh my, what a treat. This is only one of many years of attending this July series at Nicollet Island. We (my senior citizens and I) attend 3 or 4 concerts every summer. Thank you SO VERY much! It enriches our lives in immeasurable ways!” – Senior group leader. The diversity of this senior community was just as proposed. The audience at Nicollet Island exhibits a wide range of mobility and disability. Invitations are issued to senior facilities throughout the Twin Cities, many working with Volunteers of America. We cannot control for racial or ethnic diversity; seniors who choose to attend these concerts are primarily white, although every year we see a gradual increase in racial diversity at Nicollet Island. Based on the list of facilities invited and comments received from group leaders, we believe that many attendees are low-income and could not afford concert tickets at more traditional venues. The audience at Elliot Park is extremely diverse, with many attendees of color, neighborhood residents of all ages, and seniors who listen from their windows or the verandah at the Augustana Residence. Since the targeted audience is low-income seniors with disabilities, every effort is made to provide access. All venues are ADA accessible, and seating areas have wide aisles for mobility aids. Concerts are free, transportation is provided for those who need it, and seniors are assisted from vans or buses to their seats. Large-print programs and appropriate amplification systems are used, and access to the cultural medium is provided through the Music Director’s informal comments during the performance. “Loved the show! Music, venue, and treats were great. So accommodating for our group. Wheel chair and walker friendly. One of our group’s members was the owner of the Dick Kast Orchestra and had tears in his eyes he was so happy! Thank you for a wonderful morning!” – Group Leader.",,47295,"Other, local or private",57295,,"Cynthia Stokes, Lynn Erickson, William Goldman, Tom Austin, Mark Bjork, Michael Coddington, Richard Gaynor, John Gray, Shelley Hanson, Mark Kausch, Kathleen Kresge, Jere Lantz, Martha Stutsman, Barbara Thomas, Arnold Walker, Richard J Wildberger",0.00,"Minneapolis Pops Orchestra Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to perform six Free Concerts for Seniors during July 2016.

We will also network with hosts and community members to reach diverse communities and help enrich the performance skills of young artists. Our performance teams will record the number and demographic information of the audiences at each performance. Additionally we will survey our community partner hosts and our performing artists to help evaluate and improve the program in the future.","The Driveway Tour had another successful season, performing 106 times and reaching around 7000 audience members in a wide range of communities and neighborhoods. As one of our hosts put it ""So friendly and accepting :)"" The 2016 Driveway Tour had many artistic goals. Most important of these was providing a valuable and enriching experience for communities by working with local partners to host an inclusive event around a professionally produced puppetry performance. To achieve this goal, we cast three teams of puppeteers, each cast performing one of the three puppet shows. The Driveway Tour Performed 106 times this summer in the Twin Cities Metro area and even traveling as far out as Red Wing. Our community partners included both experienced and first time hosts. Feedback from hosts was conducted via an online survey was very positive. Specific quotes include ""It was the highlight of the summer"" and ""There was a grandmother who laughed so hard and loud during the entire performance, she really got a lot more than she was expecting."" This summer we reached a total of 6923 audience members with at 106 Driveway Tour performances. We unfortunately did not reach our audience goal (10,000), we did perform slightly more than our goal for number of performances (105). Part of our lower attendance was a larger number of show cancellations than in previous years. These were due to a number of reasons, but primarily because of weather or other unforeseen events. In the future we will try to work with hosts to have additional contingency plans available so that the show can go on. This summer also included a large number of first time hosts, who often have a hard time attracting audiences in their first year, when there is not an established tradition. We will also continue our efforts to help our hosts spread the word and publicize their events. Another goal of the program is to create a professional quality performance while training and developing the skills of young artists. We originally estimated that we would train between 3-6 performers this summer, and we exceeded this goal and trained 5 new performers and further developed the skills of 3 returning puppeteers. These returning performers took on the additional leadership role of being a show manager, handling the day to day logistics and host relationships at performances. We received the feedback about our performer teams ""Everyone was really impressed with the professionalism as well as how engaging it was for children and adults!"" As in previous years the Driveway Tour succeeded in its goal of reaching audience members brought together through the efforts of our community partners and hosts in local performance locations i.e. backyards, schools, libraries, etc. In 2016 we reached audiences that were approximately 21% people of color. This percentage is very similar to that of previous years. This year also featured the show The Adventures of Juan Bobo, which is performed half in Spanish and half in English. This show is often requested to visit communities with a large Spanish speaking population, while still being accessible to families who speak any language. Some feedback we received about Juan Bobo included, ""We loved the bilingual aspect of our performance."" and ""It's great because it gets the kids outside and involved in the story, and we loved having Juan Bobo in our largely Hispanic neighborhood."" Also this summer we saw a change in our host composition as we had a much larger percentage of first-time hosts apply and bring shows to their neighborhoods. This is very exciting and will hopefully indicate a new generation of hosts starting a tradition in their communities as is common among our more established hosts. As some new hosts stated ""Great opportunity to meet our neighbors, as we were new to the neighborhood."" and ""This performance was part of our first potluck event ever."" One exciting aspect of this summer was our Ice Cream Social. Each summer Open Eye hosts a community Ice Cream Social at our physical location at 24th and Portland in South Minneapolis to engage with our own neighborhood. This event features free ice cream and games as well as performances of all three Driveway Tour Shows. This year we had attendance numbers, upwards of 400 people in our small theatre. Additionally we were very successful in bringing in people from our diverse neighborhood, with about 50% of the attendees being people of color. We will continue our efforts and outreach to hosts who identify as people of color and hopefully continue to increase opportunities for new and diverse communities to engage with our work.",,37500,"Other, local or private",47500,,"Robert Van Nelson, Charles Vanek, Larry Lamb, Jean Abbot, Kathy Gaskins, Susan Haas, Craig Harris, Keith Lester, Candace Miller Lopez, Michelle Pett, Ryan Setterholm, Michael Sommers, Amy Warner",0.00,"Open Eye Figure Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present the 14th annual Driveway Tour, offering family-friendly puppet theater to more than 100 communities in the Twin Cities area during summer 2016.

","Seventy-two percent of respondents enjoyed the show to the extent that they would be likely to recommend the show to friends or colleagues. 80% of key collaborating artists said felt comfortable in making decisions and taking risks regarding their artistic piece. The project team decided their evaluation objectives were to demonstrate the impact of the Palabras Project in: 1. Building a diverse audience, 2. Determining how audience members identify with the performance, and 3. giving artists a respectful and safe place to take risks. Four evaluation questions guided the project. Below is a brief overview of the responses to both interviews of artists and surveys sent out to audience members. 1) Is the Palabras Project successfully building a more diverse audience? a. Yes. Comparison data from other performances and cities indicate that the Palabras project had a relatively more diverse audience relative to the Minnesota general population and theatre projects in other states. Because this was the first showing, the data should help serve as a baseline for future performances. 2) How are audience members identifying with the stories told by the palabras project? a. Strongly identify. The data supports that a significant number of audience members strongly identified with the Palabras Project stories. Seventy-two percent of respondents would be likely to recommend the show and one-third left comments indicating that they felt the show was unique, creative, powerful, and an innovative approach to Lorca’s Blood Wedding. 3) How are the artists involved experiencing the Palabras Project? Are they feeling like it’s a respectful and safe place to take risks? a. Artists felt respected. Almost every artist explicitly indicated that they felt comfortable making decisions and taking risks. Several indicated that in a future performance, additional preparation time and direction on how pieces would be woven together would be helpful. 4) How are community partners experiencing sharing the Palabras Project with their communities. a. The community partner felt that their community was very engaged in the show, though sometimes confused as to where to go next. We experienced a great challenge/opportunity with the huge collaboration across 5 artistic disciplines (Flamenco, Mask, Shadow puppetry, Installation art and indigenous flute, and hip hop). Different art forms require vastly different timelines/modes of creation. We learned a lot about how critical it is to build a common vocabulary in order to facilitate cross-disciplinary conversation. If/when we repeat a project of this scope, we will utilize new language to get all collaborators on the same page, and implement more regular check-in moments to ensure we continue to be on the same page. We identify our intended community as: artists, community partners (such as CLUES and Neighborhood House), and audience members. We anticipated that at least half of audience-members would come from communities of color, particularly from St Paul’s Latino communities. We expected a portion of our audiences to be representative of the Twin Cities’ average theater-going community, which is primarily upper middle class Caucasian women older than 55. Collaborating artists and actors were to be primarily of-color, with focus on providing opportunities to Latinos. We are proud of the artistic impact of our project. All in all, we employed 42 artists, most of whom had never set foot in Park Square previously, 33 of whom were of color. Four of our five primary artists were all Latino/Hispanic/Chicano identifying, and the fifth was Spanish. According to our demographic survey, sixty-nine percent of respondents identified as Caucasian, seventeen percent considered themselves Hispanic or Latino, and three percent identified themselves as Asian. Ten percent of responses fit their own category including identifications such as Italian, Eastern European, and Arab. However, we only received a 21% response rate to our survey, and we believe that we reached more audience members of color than the survey indicates. The data appears to support that the Palabras Project successfully built a diverse audience considering the general population demographics and comparison examples. While the percentage of attendees for the Palabras Project who identify as white, not Hispanic (69%) is larger than the percentage of individuals who live in Minneapolis or St Paul and identify as white, not Hispanic (60%), the gap in who attends a performance is lower than in other performances and cities. While only one community partner was available for a post-show interview, the feedback can be used as a starting point. The community partner was interviewed about their experience with the project. Key Takeaways: 1) The community partner invited mothers from her preschool group and a senior’s program. 2) Because going to a production at night was a challenge, we provided a bus to transport people to the show. This was incredibly helpful for the partner’s community. 3) From the partner’s perspective, the community felt very engaged by the show. According to the partner, community members were excited and felt that the music and the art was great. That said, there was some confusion and potentially a little too much walking for the seniors that attended. Attendees got lost throughout the project and did not fully understand that they had to continue moving. Although we had wheelchairs available, and designated seating for the mobile performance, there were still audience members who were confused, or didn't feel the experience was physically accessible.

We used the performing arts as 1) a creative platform to promote collaboration among different ethnic groups within the Asian American/Pacific Islander community; and 2) presented the highest quality of Pan Asian arts. In addition, we have created forums that transcend social and cultural barriers by encouraging collaboration among disparate groups. Event: Pan Asian Arts Festival. Date: May 14, 2016, from 11-8pm. Location: Mall of America. Overview: The festival is to foster collaboration among Asian American and Pacific Islanders performing arts/cultural groups and expose more cultural and arts activities during May Pan Asian Heritage Month with Pan Asian arts/cultural demonstrations free of charge, to support the communities with better access to diverse Pan Asian Arts/Customs and Cultures. While promoting a sense of unity, this festival had celebrated the rich cultural diversity within the vibrant local Asian American/Pacific Islander community with the Public. At the event, 56 enthusiastic group demonstrated various Asian performances including Cambodian, Indian, Chinese, Hmong, Japanese hip-hop, Korean hip-hop, Thai and African American rap singers at the Rotunda in Mall of America. There were 12 different booths to explore what is available in the Asian community. Over 2,000 people gathered to catch a glimpse of the collections of performances as well as enjoyed the different arts and crafts, carnival games, and educational enrichment from the community. Activities included origami crane making, henna tattoo, Asian games, and other related Asian activities that the attendees enjoyed very much. Over 150 attendees commented that the event was amazing and the various cultural performances were spectacular. Attendees get to engage in the cultural exchange and try on Asian costumes as well as write in Chinese and Japanese. “We need to see more of this cultural enrichment in our community. My children get to experience different cultures in one day.” School Administrator. Comments from attendees, volunteers, Asian Media Access/Pan Asian Arts Alliance staff, Mall of America personnel’s, vendors and performers: The performance was great. There were different, various kinds of dances from the different region in Asia. Performing at Mall of America was a great way to show cased the different Asian culture. Performers love the experience in showing their dedication to dance at the Rotunda. The 9 hours of performance is too long. There were not enough staff and volunteers to help the event. Educational demonstration was too short and fast to gain anything from it. Some activities such as henna tattoo and the game booth were popular. The long hours demand too much time from the AV people. The simple decoration is good. It doesn’t distract the audience. We have successfully reached intended communities. 56 Minnesota Pan Asian Arts Groups have presented their cultural arts throughout the Festival, along with their international counter parts in variety of Arts fields. Presenting various Pan Asian folk arts have been exhibited through dance, music, story-telling, jewelry making and other folk arts demonstrations, etc. Successfully attracted 5,000+ festival goers in 2 series of events, with at least 60% are people of color. The project venue - Mall of America has been selected in part for their complete accessibility to individuals with physical disabilities. The handicap access signs will be posted throughout the promotional materials, such as: websites, flyers, event postcards, posters. Through skillful promotional efforts, we strived to reach a wide audience. We made arrangements to accommodate different-ability and language needs. We passed out flyers to local schools and grocery stores around 7 metro counties.

32591,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Artability will provide free visual art and writing workshops offered to anyone with a mental health diagnosis January through August. In 2015, seven workshops for children and youth and 50 workshops for adults were available, with similar expected outcomes in 2016. The year of workshops will conclude with the Annual Artability Show and Sale in October 2016, traditionally featuring over 100 artists with mental illnesses and more than 400 works of art. Artability instructors and staff have regular check-ins with artists to discuss their process, experience and how we can improve the program. Participation in workshops and attendance at the Show and Sale are counted, and Artist/instructors are surveyed on popularity of curriculum and success of locations and facilities as teaching environments.","Artability exceeded projected outcomes, with artists attending 45 days of private workshops and 104 days of public workshops. They attended workshops in north and south Minneapolis, and at the Project Recovery Drop-In Center in St. Paul. In the words of one artist, “I learned a lot!” The 2016 Show and Sale featured 487 works by 125 artists. 231 pieces were sold, 32 more works than in 2015. Achieving our Goals: In 2016 Artability workshops were held 149 days at five People Incorporated locations, and the Show and Sale took place October 28-29 at the Great Hall in downtown St Paul. The show featured visual arts in all media- two and three dimensional, from a few inches across to as tall as six feet. Written work was compiled in an anthology, with 27 authors represented through poetry and prose. Two authors shared their work through readings at opening night, which was very moving for all involved. As stated in our narrative, the main goal of our Artability Workshops and culminating Show and Sale is to empower artists with mental illnesses to share and display their work. Success is inherent in the steady increase in participants and attendees, and the high quality of the work. With a focus on participants’ identities as artists, not their diagnosis, Artability challenges stigma and negative public perceptions about people living with mental illness. The events gather families, friends and the community together to celebrate the artists’ creative talents and art’s great impact on mental health and wellness. Challenges, and What Worked: During 2016, People Incorporated’s Children’s and Family Services moved offices, making scheduling Artability workshops too difficult for facilities staff and direct service providers. Now that Day Treatment and other programs for youth are in their new home, we look forward to holding workshops again in 2017. The greatest strengths of the program continue to be the dedication of our artists and Teaching Artists, one of whom, Corilyn Wagner, became more involved with the program. Corilyn not only continued teaching and added classes, but has also joined the Steering Committee, assisted in coordinating the Show and Sale, and has continued her support as part-time staff with the departure of Advancement Associate Khadijah Ramadan. For the Future: The nature of Artability is to bring the supplies and instruction to the artists when possible. We try to be flexible about changes in locations, as facilities are constantly being improved and added. Our plan for the future is to continue working with People Incorporated staff to integrate the workshops more fully into programming, this will facilitate changes and improvements, maintain and grow our schedules, and reach more artists. Artability’s outreach, in partnership with People Incorporated programs and those of likeminded agencies, connected with an underserved population of people disabled by serious and persistent mental illness. Many of our artists have co-occurring challenges, such as chronic medical issues, and physical issues such as deafness or ambulatory difficulties. Even without physical issues, illnesses such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder can manifest symptoms that make transportation, new situations, communication, and participation in large groups of people difficult if not impossible. Artability instructors and leadership understand these needs for accommodation- small class sizes, varieties of techniques, quiet environments and attention to sensory issues, patience and respect for different modes of communication and boundaries are important facets of our workshops. Workshops take place throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area, accessible to public transportation, and are not restricted to any residency. We were very proud this year to begin offering workshops to the People Incorporated’s Northside Community Support Program, located at 1309 Girard Avenue North on the north side of Minneapolis. Ten workshops over 15 days were held this year in a diverse community, in order to bring these programs and the opportunity to make art to people who would not otherwise have the opportunity for financial or medical reasons. Mental illness does not discriminate, nor does Artability. Our program serves any individuals in the Minneapolis and St Paul metropolitan area who are living with mental illness regardless of their socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or gender identity. The Workshops, Show and Sale are wholly free of charge to participants, and assist the artists in marketing and receive proceeds from the sale of their work. Proceeds from work brought in $22,056 this year; $2,474 more than last year. This income means a great deal to our artists. Instructors and staff have regular check-ins with artists to discuss their process, and reflect on their experience and how we can improve the program. We survey artists and instructors on the popularity of curriculum and accessibility of facilities. Staff are still the process of compiling results from 2016, however we can provide an example from one workshop. Seven individuals completed the evaluation, all agreeing that they improved their skills and felt more confident in their abilities after the class.

32592,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ","The 25th Annual Powderhorn Art Fair will continue to attract over 20,000 people from around the Twin Cities. It will contribute to an estimated $500k of economic impact to participating artists, surrounding businesses and the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association. The use of artist and attendee surveys will be used to measure participant engagement and perceived value. Several volunteer debrief sessions will be conducted to identify areas of strength and opportunity. The totality of feedback will be used to enhance future Powderhorn Art Fairs. The use of artist and attendee surveys will be used to measure participant engagement and perceived value. Several volunteer debrief sessions will be conducted to identify areas of strength and opportunity. The totality of feedback will be used to enhance future Powderhorn Art Fairs. ","The Powderhorn Art Fair facilitated two core outcomes within the community. These connect directly to maintaining a vibrant and relevant arts experience in South Minneapolis; by driving $500,000 of economic impact across artists, local businesses and Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association. The art fair also has become a meaningful tradition for 16,000 local residents by providing an award winning and holistic arts experience. The four artistic goals of the 25th Anniversary Annual Powderhorn Art Fair were achieved through the collaborative partnership of the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Each year, goal attainment is driven from having a well-documented plan, appropriate monetary and staffing resources and the cultivated ability to attract a broad and diverse group of multi-disciplinary artists to an award winning art fair. Convening a cadre of high quality visual and performing artists was facilitated by promoting the opportunity across various local and national artist networks. The compilation of fine artists across various stages of their careers also results from the fair’s juried process; which requires the digital submission of portfolio samples that are reviewed by an independent jury. This year’s artist outreach drew 437 applicants from which 229 artists were selected as a Main Exhibitor, Group Exhibitor, or Community Showcase artist. Given that the Powderhorn Art Fair is overseen by Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, organizations that strive to positively shape the Minneapolis community, another core goal involved ensuring a prevalent number of artists came from the community. In this regard, over 100 of artist applicants came from Minneapolis resulting in 35% of the artists in this year’s fair being Minneapolis residents. Although this year’s local artists’ penetration achieved the goal; there is an opportunity to deepen this penetration in a hyper-local way by increasing the number of artists’ participants from within South East Minneapolis. This will necessitate a reconfiguration of promotional and outreach resources to shift this penetration by at least five percentage points next year. Additionally, the ability for fair attendees to experience and engage with art and artists through numerous means was also attained. This was achieved by continuing partnerships with several local arts institutions including; Articulture, Steven Be, Open Eye Figure Theatre and Pillsbury House Theatre. The activities spanned knitting tutorials, a poem mobile and puppet shows. These artistic partnerships add to the overall dimension of the art fair and provides a clear roadmap and precedent for how to increase participant inclusivity in an event that attracts approximately 18,000 persons. The art fair’s economic contributions positively and directly impact over 220 artists, dozens of local businesses and both Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Based on artist survey input regarding fair sales, artists average approximately $1,250; which represents an estimated $275,000 among artist alone. This coupled with income collected by Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and the estimated uptick in sales for local businesses; the fair continues to drive roughly $500,000 in economic vitality. The Annual Powderhorn Art Fair continues to achieve its artistic goals; which inspires Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to enhance how it brings local artists and community together through the fair. The 25th Anniversary Powderhorn Art Fair successfully reached the stakeholders it sought to attract. This was achieved by following a multi-faceted promotions and outreach campaign that shaped all key phases of planning and coordination. The resources deployed to ensure the overall success of engaging and connecting with diverse artists, attendees and community partners relied heavily on adhering closely to the year-long planning schedule. During the first several months of event coordination, the majority of resources were aimed at reaching out to diverse artists’ networks. The strength of the Powderhorn Art Fair brand among local and national artists results from seamless execution year-over-year and the extremely picturesque setting of Powderhorn Park where the event is held. These factors, in addition to the tremendous opportunity to showcase and earn income from one’s art, are the central factors surrounding why 437 artists submitted applications for only 229 available slots. These insights were confirmed from artist’s survey input; collected from over 20% of participating artists. The fair’s location and overall organization received the highest rating of ‘Excellent’ by 92% and 83% of respondents. As in year’s past, fair attendees are estimated to have exceeded 16,000 participants; which based on the demographics of the surrounding community likely garnered participation from 12,000 adults and 4,000 youth. The event’s annual community popularity is viewed extremely positively. From survey data collected from attendees, nearly 74% indicated that they knew about the event because of word-of-mouth or as a result of it being a yearly tradition for them and their families. Participants are also attracted to the event as a result of external promotional and outreach efforts that included paid advertisements in local print and online mediums and flyer, poster and program drops throughout the South East Minneapolis community in English and Spanish languages. The artist diversity at this year’s fair also attained the goals that were set; which resulted in over 50% of the Group Exhibitors representing culturally diverse groups and organizations. These arts groups represent populations who serve adults in transition from homelessness, at-risk-youth and weavers from the regionally renowned Somali Museum are a few examples of the collective diversity of artists present. In an effort to achieve its overall event accessibility goals; the event remained free of any monetary expense to attend, it maintains low artist entrant fees in comparison to similar events of its size, increased its number of ADA compliant portable toilets, provided set-up assistance for showing artists with disabilities and continued to partner with park staff to ensure accessible seating areas for attendees. The overall success of this year’s event can certainly be viewed through attaining its goals surrounding the communities the art fair sought to attract and serve.",,81092,"Other, local or private ",91092,,"Erin Rupe, Ryan Allen, Marisa Rivera, Kevin Ely, Reyna Payan, Miski Noor, Wang Vue, Malia Burkhart, Josiah Waderich, Matthew Frater, Cora Lund Preston",0.00,"Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support ",,"Funding for the Powderhorn Arts Festival, a two-day public event featuring juried art by local and national artists, performances and art making.

Evaluation methods for this project include final reports from artist participants, final debriefing meeting with artist participants, written public comments and/or reviews on social media, and audience/participant count. ","Participants reported it was “great to have an opportunity to create new work and a structure to help nurture it."" 40 artists worked on 9 new pieces, collectively playing to 930 people. A continuum of opportunities for emerging artists: Two of the Isolated Acts artists had participated in the Works-In-Progress program in prior years; and one of the Works-In-Progress 2016 groups was invited to create a work for Isolated Acts 2017. Red Eye's Fiscal Year 2016 New Works 4 Weeks program successfully enabled the participating artists to take creative risks in a supportive environment, engage in critical conversation and critique as the projects evolved, form new connections with other performance-makers and eventually experience how audiences engaged with and responded to their creations. Following one performance an audience member emailed, “Had a great time at the show tonight! Sold out – extra chairs added - exciting. […] You can see the impact Red Eye has on the artists’ development. What a wonderful program and evening you guys have built. Thank you!” The artists described the program as ""enlightening,"" ""validating,"" and ""transformational."" Following are additional excerpts from assessments submitted by the Fiscal Year 2016 artists that speak to how well the program served its participants: A critical platform for emerging artists: ""Red Eye's Works In Progress program provides avenues for emerging artists I have yet to find anywhere else in the Twin Cities theatre scene. The process of group feedback, and long timeline, provide the space needed for a safe environment and dialogue to be formed between artists that is highly unique. Critiquing and sharing work with peers here in the cities was the perfect way to start defining my own artistic voice."" ""Creating NOCTURNE was not inevitable; I could have easily continued performing the thoughts of others with joy. But this opportunity gave me the courage and the push I needed to see my vision through. […] At times I felt very vulnerable, and at other times I felt invincible. As a part of a company that is extremely well established, this was the first time that I held the reigns and had agency over my own performance. It was thrilling."" On taking risks: ""I felt completely free to pursue whatever ideas and impulses came through me. [...] Experimentation felt like the only rule, and that was a truly enormous privilege."" On the value of the feedback sessions: ""I appreciate the generosity and openness of the feedback- that it's not about defense of a work but about exploration, reflection, and is in service of the artist creating what they are called to create. The program offers both faith in artists and support for taking risks."" “The feedback sessions were not only helpful to my process, but I found that in giving feedback to others I was able to engage with works in a totally new way that made me appreciate the variety of artists that are a part of the festival. On the long-term impact of the response protocols: ""I have no doubt that the questions asked in protocols will come from my own mouth again, years from now, when I have long since wrapped this experience at Red Eye, but still carry the energy and enthusiasm for both creating and supporting new work into my career."" The 15 performances of this year’s festival were very well-attended, and generated the most ticket revenue ever. The program included the work of two artists of color – Pedro Lander, a recent arrival to the Twin Cities, and the other was Ashwini Ramaswamy, long-time, beloved feature dancer with Ragamala Dance Company, who was presenting her first choreography set on other Ragamala stalwarts. This helped attract a more racially diverse audience than the festival typically draws, specifically a large East Asian audience for Ashwini’s performances, and a larger percentage of young people of color to the Works-In-Progress weekend, which Pedro was part of. In addition, there was a significant LGBTQ contingent of attendees (one of the Works-In-Progress pieces featured a cast of transgender artists, while another of the Works-In-Progress and one of the Isolated Acts pieces explored drag culture), along with an unusual mix of dance, theater, film and music audiences because of the mix of disciplines featured. Many of the participating artists included comments in their evaluation narratives about the benefit of having their work viewed and responded to by artists from multiple disciplines, as well as how the process of engaging with each other throughout the six months of the program forged a genuine sense of community: ""I am also grateful for the people I have met through this process. Forming new relationships with fellow creative people engenders more communication, conversation, and discussion about many topics within our respective fields. Having a diverse cross-section of artists who support each other is a cornerstone to creating a close-knit performance community. The mutual respect for our different artistic expressions only fuels future ground-breaking work."" We began each evening with a brief curtain speech that provided the broader context of the festival and encouraged the audience to stay for a few minutes after the show to provide feedback to the artists. Audiences received annotated playbills, which included short essays from the artists about the work being presented. Red Eye also hosted a post-performance reception each week of the festival to help facilitate informal dialogue between artists and audience. Although we didn’t receive any request for audio described or ASL interpreted performances, we did have patrons in wheelchairs, whose seating requirements were easily accommodated. In terms of economic accessibility, we’ve very much codified a ticket structure that is barrier-free by kicking off each weekend with a pay-as-able show. Most people understand that to mean whatever dollar amount they can afford, but this year a couple patrons paid in “artwork.” We were able to keep ticket prices for the Isolated Acts portion of the festival at $15 or less, while the price for all the Works-In-Progress evenings remained a modest $8.",,44666,"Other, local or private ",54666,,"Kristin Giant, Victoria Temiz, Joshua Tanz, Steve Busa, Laura Gisler, Paige Greenwood, David Kelley, Diana Konopka, Alonso Luengo, Miriam Must, Peter Wold",0.00,"Red Eye Collaboration AKA Red Eye Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support ",,"Funding for NEW WORKS 4 WEEKS 2016, a multidisciplinary performance festival that serves as the culmination of Red Eye’s artist development programs, which provide space and technical support for the creation of new work.

32594,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Cultural Heritage","The Rimon Artist Salon series intends to engage 275 participants over the course of the four events. At least one new work of art will be created as a direct result of an artist participating in an Artist Salon. Audience participation will be measured by the number of tickets sold. The creation of new art work will be measured by its presentation during the Artist Salon and through dialogue with the artist(s) following the event.","Educate audiences: 95% of those surveyed expressed a new appreciation for art as a vehicle for exploration and understanding. Advocate for creating new art: 100% of the audience at the 4th Salon were moved by the new work and want to hear more of the composer’s music. Create new audiences: 80% of the attendees want to follow Salon artists in the future (e.g. attend performances, gallery openings). The Rimon Artist Salons in the 2015-16 season were artistically among the strongest Rimon has presented. They encompassed a broad spectrum of art forms and artists—from glass arts, mixed media sculpture, and photography to theater and music. The featured artists themselves spanned several generations—from emerging millennials to seasoned, well-known artists. This variety in the participants and the quality of the dialogue were among the chief strengths of the Artist Salons. Another notable strength was the outstanding commission for violin and piano which received its premiere at the fourth Salon. The piece of music was of exceptionally high quality, and its performance was riveting. It has already received a repeat performance outside of the Artist Salon which is an indicator of its appeal. An enduring outcome from the commission is a strong, new relationship with the composer Ofer Ben-Amots. Some of the unexpected challenges that presented themselves during the season related to changes in personnel. Two of the moderators (Salons 1 and 3—“Sculpting Light: The Art of Glass” and “From Selfie to Groupie”) changed jobs mid-year and thus were unavailable to participate in the Salons. They were replaced with very satisfactory substitutes. One of the artists (Salon 4—“Copyright or Birthright: The Music of Ofer Ben-Amots) was obliged to withdraw but was replaced with two outstanding musicians. Another challenge was uneven performance by some of the community partners which resulted in somewhat smaller audiences at those Salons than anticipated. Rimon’s staff has learned in this process that some community partners, no matter what their initial level of enthusiasm may be, are unreliable, and Rimon will be more circumspect about working with them in the future. Attendance at the Artist Salon series in 2015-16 was somewhat lower than projected (225 instead of 275), although age and cultural diversity goals were met. The first and last Salons were very well-attended, but the middle two attracted smaller audiences, although still within the desired audience size of 40-70 participants. In the case of the second Salon (“Backstage at the Adoption Play Project”), there were two obstacles—Super Bowl Sunday and a modest effort on the artists’ part to reach out to their own fan base. The audience that did attend was treated to an exceptional experience. The third Salon (“From Selfie to Groupie”) had been developed with the Russian-American community as a key partner and intended audience. Rimon was surprised when modest numbers from that community attended, possibly related to an unreliable community partner who promised more than she delivered. Again the event itself was quite strong, but attendance was lower than projected. Over all, Rimon’s leadership was happy to see an increasing number of younger adults attending the Artist Salons in addition to the usual cohort of adults over 40. There were a significant number of non-Jewish audience members which was a key outreach goal. This was accomplished by emphasizing the universal appeal of the ideas embedded in each Salon topic.

The show will accommodate and feature 65-100 cast members ages 7-70+ providing an alternative to a holiday show that centers on Christmas, and will attract audiences looking for new imaginative work and new music, as evidenced by our ticket sales for the performances of an average house of 175 for each of the 6 performances. Our cast will complete a survey after the show opens which will ask them to evaluate their experience, specifically working on a brand new show and brand new music. These surveys are done after each one of our productions and we adapt them to the specific experience in the specific show. Our ticket sales will indicate our audience interest in seeing a new show.","Over 90% of our cast indicated on a cast survey that they were proud of the final product and excited to have premiered a new work. Our audiences were responsive with lots of laughter in addition to applause in every single performance - which does not always happen in shows! The chance to ""light the torch"" of a new playwright and composer was huge and for them to see their work come to life! We did achieve our artistic goals! Reluctant Dragon was a very well written, funny, entertaining show that was a fun production to produce, and fit our Rosetown style perfectly. The playwright was very familiar with Rosetown Playhouse and was able to write in the additional small characters and ""group"" scenes that provide opportunities for many. The composer and the arranger composed 11 songs from solos to all cast songs that were challenging and yet accessible, and they enhanced the storyline beautifully. We choreographed most of the songs and that enriched the cast experience. The message of the play itself was very timely and very affirming of avoiding stereotypes, ""not judging a book by its cover,"" allowing fear and ignorance to cloud what we really know about others. What didn't work as well was the ""producing"" of the actual new piece and we learned that we need to have someone driving the process as the piece is being written - script revisions, lyrics and music. We had people hired to do the work, but no one really in charge of pushing deadlines etc. which made for some frustrations near audition time. The strengths of creating a new work were the artists: playwright, composer- both brand new to doing this work and composer/arranger- more experienced. Another difficulty with doing a new work is that people are unfamiliar with it and so we need to do a better job of publicizing what it is, giving some musical and script examples, highlighting the opportunity to do something NEW instead of the same old shows. Our audition numbers were lower than what we often have, still plenty of people to perform the show well and plenty of talent. The same issue happens with advertising the show itself to an audience. When it is a new work, it is harder to sell to the audience. The title recognition of ""Reluctant Dragon"" was not as strong as we anticipated. We did reach our intended community, with a small but significant amount of diversity in our actors and audience. One of our KaRen immigrant students who has been involved (along with others) in Rosetown shows had a lead role in this show which was a milestone for that relationship between Rosetown Playhouse and the Karen students we have been working with. Our audiences were what we expected. We had an ASL interpreted performance and had hearing impaired audience. We created a ""family pass"" ticket which helped reduce the price of tickets for our families who come multiple times to the show. We gave comp tickets and did not turn away anyone for lack of funds. Meeting our goals for making the project accessible to all who might wish to participate probably had more to do with the timing of the show and has encouraged us to rethink the rehearsal schedule (time, lateness) and timing of December for performance particularly since we are intentionally not doing ""Christmas"" themed shows.",,16940,"Other, local or private",26940,,"Mike Cogan, Steven Kelitz, Margot Olsen, Melissa Lund, Shana Crosson, Heather Lee Anderson, Wachen Anderson, Katie Bates, Jacqueline Enge, Kay Hatlestad, Jodie Intihar, Valerie Neri, Kaying Thao, Josh Warn",0.00,"Rosetown Playhouse","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for The Reluctant Dragon, a new musical based on the 1898 children's story of the same title.

We also added the full color catalog which; 29% of the artists surveyed were pleased with how much of a focus the catalog put on the artists and 23% thought the addition of the colored images was the best part of the catalog. The 25th Annual Spring Art Crawl was a success for the Saint Paul Art Collective. We had the most artist participants and attendees of any of our Art Crawls. For the 2016 Spring Art Crawl we placed a lot of emphasis on our catalog which highlights the artists participating and how to get a hold of them after the crawl. Our catalog this year was a full color book that artists could purchase space in to showcase their work. These catalogs were a big hit and were “sold” on a donation basis with an ask of $3.00 this year brought in more donations for the books than other years. We even had people calling ahead of time to secure a catalog, something that we have never had in the past. Our direct challenges come from having dedicated building organizers, we have put plans in place to have more meetings and check points to ensure that the building organizers are informed and have all they need to help make the Art Craw a success. Our surveys informed us that many volunteers were unsure what to say to people when they came to get a catalog. In response to that feedback, the Saint Paul Art Collective will also be putting together a bit of a script to help volunteers convey that the catalogs are available with an at-will donation, and if someone cannot donate they should still be given a catalog. The Saint Paul Art Crawl did meet our intended community and exceeded the number of Artist participants! Our intended audience did not vary from what we expected but we will be administering surveys to participants and to artists that will be including optional demographic information. We are doing this with the hope that we can show our work towards a more diverse and inclusive events are effective.

We hoped 90% of the participating artists would express interest in returning, and 100% of them said they want to return (We are most proud of this). We had hoped to serve 300 audience members, and actually served 338. Artistic goals were achieved. All groups were of high artistic quality as evaluated by the curators, board, staff and audience response. Staying in the new space for the entire season really helped us artistically. We had dependable equipment and a space that wouldn't cancel without notice. The equipment and space issue has been a struggle, and having insufficient equipment to support the artists impacts artistic quality. This season, we didn't have to make any emergency runs to rent equipment, which used to be costly and embarrassing. Not having the right equipment at load in impacts the trust that our artists have in this company, and not having to struggle with that issue has helped us to build trust with the artists. We are glad to be in Landmark Center. We would like to start reaching out to season staff earlier next season and getting curators to visit more groups earlier so the season planning and execution wouldn't be so crunched. We are reaching the intended community, and we are working to do more research on our audience. This season, when working with a marketing person, we have decided that our target community (the community served) is actually the artists we present because our mission is to build their audience base. We are doing a good job of reaching out to these folks, as evidenced by our wait list. Our Community Liaison continues to do outreach to artists of differing cultural backgrounds, and that is successful, although not fast. We have a diversity of arts genres and cultural artists on stage, so we are happy with that and will continue to reach out to make the stage welcoming to all artistically excellent artists. The difference in articulation of 'audience' that we are starting to talk about is 'ticketed audience members' as opposed to 'artist audience served'. We started to do surveys last season to 'ticketed audience members' and are currently working with a marketing person to try and see how we can increase ticketed audience members. We have applied for some grants to do a better evaluation of these ticketed audience members, so that we can increase their numbers in the future.

Over 90% of post-performance survey respondents will indicate connection to the themes and a positive experience of the work through thoughtful and engaging feedback. Audience members and collaborating artists are invited to fill out post-performance surveys including demographic data and critical/creative questions about the work. Beyond formal surveys, we invite conversations to continue beyond the performance venue by encouraging social media engagement, lobby discussions, and informal gatherings at local establishments.","We engaged 644 audience members over 10 performances. 100% of post-performance survey respondents indicated connection to the themes and a positive experience of the work through thoughtful and engaging feedback. In addition, audience members reacted overwhelmingly positive in post-performance informal conversation and on social media: ""A truly important piece of theater."" (Audience member) We greatly surpassed our artistic goals for this project: GOAL: To develop a high quality production in which all artists involved are integral to and invested in the production. EVALUATION: The artistic process for researching and creating JUNE was inspiring for the artists involved. Many of the performers approached the director to say how important the process was to them as queer women. Some had never had the opportunity to play a character with which they identify, or that has a romantic or complex story (they are often playing boys or older women or animal characters; the funny parts). They described the experience as “life-changing”: having your first stage kiss (at age 28), or exploring a character that looks and moves like you, or researching a place in time that opened the doors for who you are today. We focused on creating a cohesive team and a respectful rehearsal room from the start and it made a huge difference. From performers during the process: “I feel like the cast is bonding quickly because you have created a safe, respectful space. I'm very excited and grateful to be a part of this project.” ""I have to say, it's been awhile since I've felt this excited to be going to rehearsals where I don't know anyone. It feels wonderful to be creating with, and getting to know, a whole group of kick ass women. Thank you for including me in this process. I couldn't be happier to be involved."" ""I feel like a completely new person."" GOAL: To serve as a space for critical thought and conversation in our community. EVALUATION: Our audiences engaged in thoughtful post-show conversations, and brought those conversations out into their communities. This buzz around this show on social media (including positive reviews and thematic conversation) was unprecedented for Savage Umbrella: “It's important that you go see Savage Umbrella's JUNE at the Southern if you want to support art that has a message relevant to our community. Even better, it's relevant beyond our community and pretty much everyone would benefit from seeing it. It's hilarious and sad and sexy and brave. You will find yourself somewhere on that stage. And you will be confronted with people that maybe you never thought about, but you probably should have.” (Unsolicited audience feedback via Facebook.) Audience members who identify as queer thanked us for telling this story and said, “This is exactly what I needed” and called it “a truly important piece of theater.” Audience members who do not identify as queer reported connecting the universal themes and gaining expanded knowledge of this tumultuous historical time. Our post-performance community talkback was not well attended, but the conversation was incredible. Instead of a formal structure, we adapted to have an informal conversation in the audience seats including the cast and company. In the future, we plan avoid holding talkbacks on Sundays and publicize the event much further in advance. We view our community as two core (and often intertwining) constituencies—artists and audiences. ARTISTS: As we described in the previous question, we were incredibly successful in engaging our artists on this project. The performers, musicians, designers, and other team members built the production from the ground up including the characters, story, music, and mood. Each artist expressed feeling integral to the process as a whole (and expressed interest in working with Savage Umbrella in the future). In post-production artist surveys, the following feedback was provided: “This project was very focused and we had a lot to inspire us. The structure around the free-wheeling creation helped us make the most of the time.” “Communication of expectations was very clear, and my input was valued.” AUDIENCES: Audience members of ARTshare are much less likely to fill out post-performance surveys than audiences we’ve encountered in other venues. Possible reasons for this include that more attendees are new to Savage Umbrella, the venue is less intimate, the Southern also asks for a survey (fatigue), and we have a less personal connection with each audience member than we do at our own space. This lack of survey responses means we do not have sufficient data to accurately assess diversity. Anecdotally, our audience was more diverse in age than Savage Umbrella’s usual audience (ARTshare members tend to skew older) and, based on post-performance audience conversations, it seemed there was a much higher percentage of attendees who identify as queer than is usual for the Southern Theater (though not for Savage Umbrella). However, due to the thematic content of the show, it may also be true that more attendees were discussing their own identification than they would after a different production. There may also have been more queer audience members (especially women) because of our marketing and outreach efforts with local queer arts and community organizations. ACCESSIBILITY: We had a number of attendees with mobile impairments that reported being able to engage with the production wholly through quality seating arrangements. Although we made extra efforts to publicize our offered ASL interpreted performance, we did not have any attendees take advantage of this service. This is not unusual for Savage Umbrella (and other small companies). Through conversations with the interpreters, we’ve identified some potential marketing strategies for our next project and will avoid scheduling this service on performance dates that are historically less attended (Wednesdays and Sundays). ADDITIONAL OUTREACH: We also engaged in outreach with theater students at the University of Minnesota (through Lisa Channer). After they attended the production, we attended their class to have a guided conversation about the creative process and themes of the work. It was invigorating and useful for us, as well as the students.",,5226,"Other, local or private",15226,,"Laura Leffler-McCabe, Hannah K Holman, Lisa Brimmer, Russ Dugger, Heidi Jedlicka Halvarson, Mason Mahoney, Carl Atiya Swanson, Blake E Bolan, Amber Davis, Rachel Nelson",0.00,"Savage Umbrella","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to develop and produce June, a new play set in pre-Stonewall America about women grappling with fear, love, and identity.

Our qualitative outcome is for 80% of the singers and the conductor to feel we have reached our goal of artistic satisfaction. Our post project evaluation will include a meeting of the singers to provide feedback to the board of directors both verbally and through survey. The conductor will provide his evaluation through a written survey.","In our post-project review, we heard how both the singers themselves and those who attended the concerts, found the concerts to be both inspiring and educational. Many discovered how musically complex and sophisticated this genre is. We exceeded our goals for artistic satisfaction and performed for nearly 400 people. While this number was lower than our goal it was one of our largest audiences. This project was both successful and inspiring. Through this two hour concert both audience and singers experienced the rich texture and variety of music written by Black composers outside the spiritual, gospel, and jazz genres, which are most often associated with them. The project had four artistic goals, all of which were fully realized. The singers had a chance to learn, and the audience to hear, works that were mostly unfamiliar to them. These works were complex and demonstrated the beauty and sophistication of works from this little known genre. Through both program notes and verbal comments by our conductor, G. Phillip Shoultz, singers and audience members learned of the historical context of these pieces and how the personal background of the composers had influenced their style and their compositions. Our program also featured music written by Black women. In fact one of the composers featured, Undine Smith Moore, (1904 – 1989) is known as the Dean of Black Women composers for blazing a trail for others. Most of our singers had never heard of her but expressed a desire to perform more of her music. The musical quality of the program was excellent. Dr. Shoultz is one of the top young conductors in the US. We brought to Minnesota soloist Dr. Gregory Broughton, of the University of Georgia, who is known as one of the top tenors in the US in performing our concert center piece, the oratorio “I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes.” This piece was accompanied by a professional orchestra. This performance was unique since the piece, when it is performed, is most often performed with only a piano. The results were stunning with audience members, even those experienced choral audience members, commenting on how moved they were and wondering why they had never heard this piece before. Most of our artistic plans worked well – rehearsal time was adequate for learning the music and performing at a high level. The addition of the children’s choir, ComMUSICation, added both additional opportunities for combined adult/children singing but also provided artistic growth for these children. They had challenging role and were expected to perform at a higher level than they had previously done. They appreciated this challenge and the audience was impressed with their growth from the previous time we had performed with them. One area we would change if we did a similar project, was that the concert ended up being too long. We have found 60 – 75 minute concerts are optimal, but this concert ended up being nearly two hours long (with an intermission). This happened, in part, because the orchestra played two pieces alone and the conductor’s comments took more time than planned. However, the conductor’s concert comments were excellent and very important to the artistic goal of the concert. In hindsight, programming two or three pieces less would have made the concert more enjoyable for our audience. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the outcome. As planned, the participants and attendees served and benefited by this project were drawn from the Twin Cities metro area and western Wisconsin. There was a high level of interest and enthusiasm for this project from area choral singers and we ended up with 70 singers (50 adults and 20 children under 18) who volunteered many hours of their time and completed the project. These singers, auditioned for choral singing skills, were from a wide range of ages: 13 – 75 years old. Many of the children come from communities of color. Singers were provided a variety of aids to learn music so that the different learning styles could be accommodated. Since the singers came from a variety of religious/ethnic/socioeconomic backgrounds, no one was required to pay to participate. All felt that their religious beliefs were not compromised in any way by the texts of the music chosen. A full orchestra, honoring the specifications of the composer, was hired to perform the oratorio. The collaborative singer/conductor model unique to Singers in Accord helps to further weave the rich fabric of community relationships built around choral music. In these ways our intended community was the one reached. While we accomplished tremendous diversity of age, gender, and ethnicity in our choir, our audience was diverse primarily only by age and gender. Since this concert was focused on performing music of Black Composers, we promoted the concert, using discounted tickets to most of the Black Church congregations in the Twin Cities. Unfortunately our attendance surveys indicated that not many individuals from those churches attended. The ethnic diversity we did have in our audiences came primarily from families of the children who were performing. We were delighted to see that and promoted their attendance by providing free tickets to families of the children. In the future, we will likely need to make personal contacts and appearances at churches or community gatherings if we are to attract more people of color to a concert like this. We also attempted to draw more students to the concert through offering free-tickets to students. This drew a few students, but not as many as we hoped. Future attempts will be made to promote the concert to school choirs so that students can be encouraged to come in groups not just as individuals.",,11100,"Other, local or private",21100,,"Dan Digre, Mike Borg, Schele Smith, Jan Leclair, Ken Williams, Penny Meier",0.00,"Singers in Accord","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to present a concert with guest conductor G Phillip Shoultz, III, titled, I Will Lift Mine Eyes: Celebrating the Choral Tradition of Black Composers.

32601,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The Twin Cities Jewish Chorale provided 800 members of the Twin Cities community choral music that embodies the Jewish culture, including songs that (1) reflect the culture’s focus on tradition and (2) make light of the Jewish experience. The Twin Cities Jewish Chorale increased the consistency of its artistic growth with the 35 singers advancing their technical musicianship while delivering the emotional content of the music as measured by a self-reflection survey and other evaluation measures. We will measure the outcomes with audience surveys, Twin Cities Jewish Chorale membership survey, Board evaluative reflection, review of concert recordings, number of audience members at performance, anecdotal responses from audience members.","Twin Cities Jewish Chorale directed touched about 415 audience members at three concert performances, 39 Twin Cities Jewish Chorale members through rehearsals and performances, 40 Sholom Home residents and 25 Talmud Torah students at outreach programs. Twin Cities Jewish Chorale and Sabes Jewish Community Center Inclusion program provided the community musical experiences through a group of singers, with and without disabilities, sharing choral music with passion and enthusiasm. Twin Cities Jewish Chorale had two artistic goals. One goal was to provide the Twin Cities Jewish community choral music experiences that embodied Jewish culture and music the community may not hear otherwise. Twin Cities Jewish Chorale provided a different style of concert programming this year under the leadership of its new director, Jayson Rodovsky. Mr. Rodovsky has a wealth of knowledge of choral music and is acquainted with several current composers. As a result, he brought into the Chorale’s repertoire many new pieces for this season and future seasons. He also programmed this year’s concerts to include other local performers who enhanced each program’s theme and the overall experience. Each concert included a written program that listed pieces and performers and provided notes about them. In this way the audience’s experience was more than musical and visual; it was also educational! The rationale is the belief that a greater understanding of the music, text, and composers creates a richer experience for the audience. We believe we met our goal, judging by audience reactions at the concerts, and feedback following them, Chorale members, and Advisory Board members. This was particularly the case for the June concerts. The June concerts were programmed to feature Jewish humor and fun, and the atmosphere within the performance space was to make that easier to experience. The February concert was the first for the director and choir as a team. Glitches and jitters from that concert informed our plans for upcoming rehearsals and concerts. Also, the positive reactions to adding other performers to the program reinforced our conviction that sharing a concert with varied musical partners creates a much richer experience for the audience and participants. There were 215 people of a range of ages in the audience for the February 2016 concert. The June concerts brought in around 250 people. The Chorale’s second goal was to increase the consistency of its artistic growth. The success of this goal was difficult to measure. A variety of rehearsal strategies were used: the use of online listening aids increased; the number of sectionals increased significantly over previous years; Gary Wolfman, himself a conductor, helped run those sectionals; Max Elkin, a long-standing promoter of the Yiddish language in this region, coached the group on its Yiddish pieces as he has done in the past; each rehearsal focused on blend, intonation, dynamics, tempo, and phrasing. All of these efforts were valuable to the Chorale singers. Core members of the group are amateur performers who love to sing. The large amount of time in rehearsal was necessary; the modeling, creative coaching, and practice were important to the singers. Overall, especially by the June concerts, the group could communicate the music’s message with enough confidence to communicate the pleasure they felt performing it as well. As a choral group, Twin Cities Jewish Chorale experienced changes this year that gave the group a slightly different persona. There was more variety in the concert programs. Mr. Rodovsky added several performers to each concert (e.g., four cantors from local synagogues; The Sons, a group of local musicians; two Twin Cities Jewish Chorale members performing on piano and violin; and local members of Hazamir: The International Jewish High School Choir). And the spring concerts were within a cabaret setting. All of this provided regular attendees to Twin Cities Jewish Chorale concerts new experiences. It also created a rich musical experience for newcomers to Twin Cities Jewish Chorale concerts or to Jewish choral music in general. Another change from previous seasons was to add a second June concert so that one would be on a Thursday evening and the other on a Sunday afternoon. Past seasons only had Sunday afternoon concerts. The intention for this change was to reach community members who would find an evening concert easier to attend than Sunday afternoon concerts. The June concerts drew a larger audience than previous June concerts and were much more enthusiastically received. We attribute this partly to the programming changes described above and the addition of a second performance. This year, we tried a new measurement tool that turned out to be unsuccessful. We provided audience members a simple, short survey on their tables at the Sunday afternoon concert as a way to get more audience feedback. It was meant to be informal, with no pressure to participate. Unfortunately, the response was very limited. Next time, we will add more of an incentive to the process and, hopefully, attract more responses. Part of our outreach this season was to collaborate with the Inclusion program at Sabes Jewish Community Center, a program through which people with special needs can participate in all Sabes Jewish Community Center programs. The Chorale's original plan was to have a performance with an educational focus on choral singing and on the particular pieces being performed. However this evolved into a plan in which members of the Inclusion program could join the Chorale and fully participate in rehearsals and concerts throughout the season, with the support of two Inclusion staff members and a great deal of between-rehearsal support within the Inclusion program. This proved to be a highly successful plan, benefiting members of both organizations as well as concert audiences. It is a plan Twin Cities Jewish Chorale and the Inclusion program would like to continue into the next season.",,10960,"Other, local or private",20960,,"Norma Kaplan, Paul Eastwold, Julie Eckhert, Stephen Sinykin, Bonnie Sussman, Ruben Tahir, Marilyn Weisberg",0.00,"Twin Cities Jewish Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for their 2015-16 Season featuring two full-length concerts and three outreach events.

At each event, 20-200 people will encounter and engage with Somali traditional art and culture. Success of this project will be measured by ongoing demand for the program. We will track locations continuing to request presentations, and plan for future programming with those sites. Content of the culture programming will be evaluated by Somali Museum advisors, including: Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, poet and folklorist; Scott Pollock, American Swedish Institute; Cadar Kaahin, historian and storyteller; and Said Salah Ahmed, Board Chair of the Somali Museum and globally-respected leader in Somali culture preservation.","The Somali Museum presented the Mobile Culture Show at 24 events, engaging 2,115 participants in an interaction with Somali culture and art. 900 attendees were Somali-American. Youth who had never before studied their traditional culture immersed themselves in learning about traditional artifacts and artworks, and non-Somalis gained information about Somali culture and art for the first time. The Somali Museum aimed to increase access to Somali traditional arts by bringing a mobile exhibition out into the community. We achieved this goal by bringing mobile exhibitions to 24 community events around the metro. These events comprised an exhibition of cultural artifacts, a lecture presentation, a question-and-answer period, and in some cases a family storytelling component. For 8 locations, the event included performance by the Traditional Dance Troupe. This enabled audiences to immerse themselves in Somalia's lively, joyful traditional dance. Many audience members cited the dance component as their favorite part of the event. Locations for this program were as follows: 1) Immanuel Lutheran Church – Cross Cultural Dialogue Presentation; 2,3) University of Minnesota, Coffman Union – Gallery Opening Reception, Culture Showcase; 4) West Bank Business Association – West Bank Crash Course; 5) Anoka County Immigration and Refugee Committee – Cultural Competence Training; 6-11) Franklin Library – Franklin Culture Camp; 12) CommonBond Communities – Community Presentation; 13) Children’s Theater Company – Brown Bag Lunch; 14) Whittier International School – Poetry Event; 15) Integrated Arts Academy – Extracurricular presentation; 16) Armatage Elementary – Extracurricular presentation; 17) Skyview Elementary School – Student club presentation; 18) Minnesota History Center – Valentine’s Day Around the World; 19) General Mills – Cultural Workshop; 20) ALIF Center – Family Event; 21) St Paul College – Racial Equity Talks; 22) Whittier School – Whittier Alliance Community Presentation; 23) Lyndale School – Family Cultural Night; 24) Al Amal School – Cultural Night. One highlight from the project was a 6-week event at Franklin Library. After previous seasons, we determined that recurring events are more effective for deepening youth’s engagement. This year, we partnered with Franklin Library because it is a major community hub and hangout for Somali teens. We offered a 6-week program as part of the Library’s regular teen programming, which we called “Franklin Culture Camp.” This program included 3 presentations of artifacts and art history lecture, followed by 3 presentations focused on dance. The participants shared positive feedback, saying that they had never known their own art history was something they could “study” the way they study other subjects in class. Many participants pledged to continue as volunteers at the Somali Museum. Overall, demand for this program exceeded our expectations, and we were delighted to present this program at 24 locations. To accommodate increased demand, we set up a system of work-sharing among staff, rather than having all staff at each event. This encouraged us to train all staff in cultural presentations and setting up displays, which has increased our capacity. We also adapted our pay documentation to tracking weekly hours, rather than hours per event. This was an effective solution, and we will continue this approach as the program grows. We aimed to target Somali youth re-connecting with their heritage and non-Somalis encountering Somali culture for the first time. We achieved this goal by bringing mobile exhibitions to 24 community events with diverse audiences. These events were catered to different audiences’ needs, allowing non-Somalis to ask questions and begin to understand Somali artistic culture, while challenging Somali youth participants to dig deeply into studying their own heritage. Participants at locations were as follows: Immanuel Lutheran Church – 45 participants (all non- Somali adults); University of Minnesota, Coffman Union – 65 participants (mixed Somali and non-Somali college students); Coffman Union Event 2 – 300 (mixed Somali and non-Somali students and instructors); West Bank Business Association – 10 participants (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults and youth); Anoka County Immigration and Refugee Committee – 100 (non-Somali adults); Franklin Library – 15 (all Somali youth); CommonBond Communities – 40 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults); Children’s Theater Company – 30 (non-Somali adults); Whittier International School – 150 (mixed Somali and non-Somali parents and children); Integrated Arts Academy – 60 (non-Somali high school students); Armatage Elementary – 100 (mixed Somali and non-Somali elementary students); Skyview Upper Elementary School – 40 (Somali students); Minnesota History Center – 600 (mixed Somali and non-Somali families and children); General Mills Headquarters – 20 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults); ALIF Center – 80 (Somali parents and children); Saint Paul College – 60 (mixed Somali and non-Somali college students and instructors); Whittier School – 100 (mixed Somali and non-Somali adults and children); Lyndale Community School – 200 (mixed Somali and non-Somali parents and children); Al Amal School – 100 (all Somali high school students). Our goal was to increase access for Minnesotans of all backgrounds, and particularly Somali-American youth, to Somali culture and art. We achieved this goal by engaging an estimated 2,115 people. Of these, estimated 900 participants were of Somali background. Both non-Somali and Somali heritage participants shared positive feedback, saying that the Somali Museum offers a resource for cultural learning that is unavailable from any other program in the Twin Cities. Interestingly, both Somalis and non-Somalis shared a similar comment: they were happy to begin to learn about Somali art and culture, but this event didn’t do enough to teach the full complexity of Somali culture. Participants from both demographics expressed that one-time events were essential for “breaking the ice,” but they also desired opportunity for deeper study. The Somali Museum is taking this feedback to its leadership and will deeply consider ways to offer deeper study in the future.

We seek to increase the audience attending events that feature Minnesota made experimental film and animation. We conduct surveys with attendees, performers and volunteers on site. We conduct audience and participant counts before and after the event.","We think that the quantitative outcomes of the festival are disproportionate to our size. We interweave film with 9 different musical acts throughout the day, and 500 attendees experience 42 different locally made films. There really aren’t any other festivals in the region that do this. The 2016 Square Lake Festival achieved its artistic goals of promoting the underserved artistic communities of experimental, animation and short film. We achieved this goal via a sold out festival that featured some of the most popular music acts of the Twin Cities. Generally speaking, attendees frequent our event for the intimate music experience with acts that generally play much larger events. Though drawn to the music, the artistic program is 50% film, so these same attendees leave the event with an increased awareness and appreciation for locally made, independent film. What worked really well this year was the increased number of film scores. Each year we commission a film score, but in 2016 we knew of two different film score projects that we wanted to include. One was a locally produced, feature length animation. We’ve always wanted to use a local animation for the film score. The other was a film score project called Seven Secrets of Snow. We challenged ourselves by digging deeper into our unique event identity, and it worked. We sold out the show, and we did something that few other events are doing. Something we’d do differently if we could go back in time would be to emphasize our radius clause in performer contracts. Radius clauses are requests from the venue for a contracted performer to not play another show in a competing market for a certain amount of time prior to and after the event. This year, our headliner booked a free local show the day after our event, and we felt its impact on our ticket sales. We had requested a radius clause, but the booking agent made a mistake. We recovered, through hard work and networking to sell remaining tickets, but this is something that took a lot of time and was frustrating for us. We’d prefer to avoid this in the future, so we’re going to make our own event contract. Generally speaking we did reach our intended community. We received more film submissions than any previous year, and many of these submissions came from outside the core-Metro area. Our event has witnessed a change in attendees over the last five years, with more coming from suburban areas than in the past where most came from core-Metro. I would not describe the actual community served any differently than I did in our initial proposal. Our outreach efforts did result in community diversity, especially in respect to our film festival submissions. Going back 7 years, there was a popular film festival submission website called Withoutabox.com. We could never afford to use this service, as it required a $2,000 up front fee in order to collect submissions for the low price we wanted to charge. However, about 5 years ago, a new service became available called FilmFreeway.com This service has no upfront fees, and only charges a small percentage on submissions. FilmFreeway has become very popular, and is a powerful tool for us to reach filmmakers all across Minnesota. The impact on the diversity of submissions is considerable. Attendees that can’t afford to pay for a ticket can volunteer. In 2016, there were 31 volunteers. Filmmakers that can’t afford to pay the submission fee can ask for a waiver. In respect to volunteers, we accept nearly all volunteer requests that we receive. We also offer reduced admission for bikers. An in respect to film festival waivers, our policy is to offer waivers to all students who request them, and we still consider these applicants for festival prizes.",,17515,"Other, local or private",27515,,"PaHoua Yang Hoffman, Sam Ziemer, Mary O'Brien",0.00,"Square Lake Film and Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 2016 Square Lake Film and Music Festival, a daylong, outdoor celebration of Minnesota-made music and film held on a scenic 25-acre hobby farm near Stillwater.

32605,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The Tours of Duty project will engage veterans from the VA Adult Day Health Care Program in a series of 6 of Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Life Stories workshops and present 2 on-site performances for the veterans, their family members, and the VA staff. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater also hopes to engage these audiences in post-performance discussions about the work presented and the creative process. On-site interviews and written evaluations will be offered for the veteran participants in the project. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater will provide on-line evaluation surveys for the VA Staff. The principal evaluation tool for the performance portion of the project will be Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Talk Piece, to be recorded by Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater.","The most significant outcome of this project was the emotional impact it had on both the veterans and the artists of our company. As one veteran expressed to a staff member, “I was sad when I came in, but I feel better now.” And another commented, “That was spectacular!” This new project, Tours of Duty, was enormously successful both artistically and organizationally. The project was implemented as described in the grant proposal. After completing the Planning Process in September, Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater presented a series of Life Stories workshops for veterans at the VA Adult Day Health Care Center in Richfield. These workshops invited the veterans to share their stories and experiences of wartime and returning home. Their stories were then translated into movement to capture the emotional impact of the experience. The participants represented a broad spectrum of veterans from Iraq/Afghanistan to Viet Nam to Korea to WWII. Although these conflicts had very different historical contexts, the commonality and comradeship between the vets was extraordinarily evident. As many of the vets were present for a number of the workshops, we were able to build on the material we had developed with them previously. Eventually, we wrote a song combining images from their stories and created lyrics set to the melody of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. All of the veterans and staff learned the song and helped to create movement for it. The project concluded with the company creating a “theater” in the VA Day Center with the use of pipe and drape, lighting, and sound equipment. On the final two days of the project, the company presented performances for the vets, their family members, and staff. The performances represented selections from Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater repertory including Sentry, the company’s critically acclaimed work which illuminates the life of a soldier. Both performances concluded with Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Talk Piece, an audience/performer discussion. The overall response to the entire project was overwhelmingly positive, both from the veterans and the staff. For all of our company members, it was extremely powerful emotionally. These men, who had experienced and seen events we can only imagine, opened their hearts to us and could not have been more appreciative of our time with them and our interest in their stories. There is only one thing we would do differently, if schedule and funding allowed. That would be to extend the project over a longer period of time. It was very difficult to say “goodbye” on the last day and many of the veterans asked when we would be returning. As we had anticipated, the populations we reached through this project are underserved by the arts for a number of reasons. Many of the vets are dealing with a number of mental and physical disabilities including PTSD, memory loss, hearing loss, amputation, or dementia, among others. Further, many live alone and have little access to transportation, furthering their social isolation. And, sadly, many are living below the poverty line. We designed this project to be entirely accessible to all of the participants, and we were very successful. Many of the veterans are transported to Adult Day Health Care by Metro Mobility or family members, helping mitigate that barrier to participation. Because of the diversity of abilities, the workshops were conducted with all participants seated in chairs. Those who were able to stand were assisted by Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater company members to ensure their safety. We made use of microphones and sound equipment to address issues of hearing loss. Also, because we worked with many of the veterans over a number of workshops, we built a vocabulary of movement exercises which assisted those with memory loss. We also engaged the staff during these workshops, many of whom commented about how much they had learned about their clients as result of our project. Finally, as we had previously determined, access to the theater is very limited for all of the reasons mentioned above. Therefore we brought the theater to the veterans. We rented pipe and drape, lighting instruments, and sound equipment to create a theatrical experience in the Adult Day Center. The vets enjoyed watching the company set up and transform their space almost as much as seeing the performance. The company presented two performances on site which included selections from Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater repertory. One of the works, Sentry, was particularly significant for this population as it is a work that sheds light on the life of a soldier. Many of the audience members were brought to tears by the performance. We concluded both performances with our signature Talk Piece in which we engage the audience in a discussion about the work. The veterans, family members, and staff were enormously grateful for this project and our time spent with them. Over the course of Tours of Duty we engaged an average of 30 veterans and 6 staff in each of the series of workshops. The performances, which we presented on site, reached an additional audience of the veterans’ family members. We also offered the veterans and their families, as well as the VA staff, reduced-price tickets to Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Twin Cities performances in February at the Cowles Center, although we don’t believe there were any takers, due to the barriers discussed above.",,5000,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Ruth Balbach, Howard Bell, Michael Brooks, Judith Johnson, Jennifer Olson, Zoe Sealy, Carin Skowronsky, V Paul Virtucio",0.00,"Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Tours of Duty, a program of Life Stories workshops and on-site performances presented at the VA Adult Day Health Care Program for veterans, their families, and VA staff.",2015-09-23,2016-01-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Stuart,Pimsler,"Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater","528 Hennepin Ave S Ste 707",Minneapolis,MN,55403,"(763) 521-7738 ",spdanth@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-669,"Denise Prosek: Artistic, administration; Laura Sorensen: Artistic, administration, organizational; Mathew Janczewski: Artistic, organizational development, administration; Adriana Rimpel: Artistic, administration; Chris Garza: Artistic, administration, audience development; Natalie Madgy: Administration, education, artistic; Caitlin Marlotte: Administration, fundraising, artistic; Jane Heer: Artistic, administration; Elysia Michaelsen: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Metric will be collected through surveys. Audience and artists count.","The two major outcomes that we can identify as very important are the following: Over 50% of the survey respondents learn more about the issues portrayed in our productions. We were able to works with 5 new artist and designers that we hope to collaborate in the future. We are excited to inform you that we have achieved all three goals successfully. The presentation of The Women of Cuidad Juarez showcased the realities of life in the southern border and brought to light the human rights abuse against women that has been going on and continues till this very day. It reflected the plight of young Mexican women that are being murdered and enslaved by criminal elements that see these women as a commodity to be exploited. We opted to go with the production of La Familia for our one-act series also brought about the historical challenges of “Chicanismo” as well as issues affecting our community today, like LGBTQ rights and homelessness in the Latino community. The Women of Cuidad Juarez was bilingual thus allowing Spanish speakers as well as non-Spanish speakers to experience the play. We also translated all the plays and provided open caption in English for the hearing impaired and the non-Spanish speakers. These plays also provided educational experience and the post-play discussion also provide unique and historical contexts to our audiences. The Marketing of The Women of Cuidad Juarez presented a few on foreseen challenges. Since this was a presentation, the lead artists needed to approve the marketing materials and this in turn slowed down our marketing efforts. Once we streamline the process, we were able to move much quicker. We will need to clarify the need for prompt marketing material feedback response from artists we present in the future. In addition, our timing for La Familia production coincided with a local festival that competed with us for the same audience, which affected our attendance. Even though we are at the mercy of the availability of venues, we need to do a better job on researching competing events. In the future we need to take that into account. In our non-scientific poll we calculated that more than 50% of our audiences were Latinos. We had larger than expected Latino attendance the first night for The Women of Cuidad Juarez. Several groups from Centro, a social service organization serving the Latino community, brought a very diverse group of women from a number of countries like Mexico and from Central and South America. We were surprised by the fact that a number of community members had heard of the show through community channels such as planning meetings for other events throughout the cities. During the weeks leading to each production, we were able to hone our marketing message to precise segments of the Latino community through a more tailor social media marketing approach. This allowed for a more personal approach. Our effort to become more accessible to Spanish speaking audiences for the most part was successful. We had some challenges at first with our marketing efforts with the presentation of The Women of Cuidad Juarez. Feedback from the artist took too long since they were touring at the time. We feel that once we were on track with our marketing materials, we were able to reach out to many Spanish-speaking audiences, but we were not able to achieve the attendance numbers we were expecting. We are hoping to connect with more language schools and classes in the future.

We will constantly evaluate with video and audio self-evaluation, and attendance data.","Over 1,000 people attended the concerts listed in this proposal. This resulted in well over our projected ticket sale income line from our two ticketed concert programs and shows a large reach for our free concerts. Our artistic goals for this project were 1) To shatter the idea that a chamber music ensemble can, and should, only play “classical” music, thus keeping performances of live instrumental music relevant through programming classical, jazz, and pop music that appeals and connects to diverse audiences. 2) To develop our artistry and proficiency of these diverse musical styles. 3) To educate children of all ages - newborns and up - about music through engagement, entertainment, and interaction. 4) To keep chamber music alive as a performance genre, and help it thrive by bringing in new, younger audiences who become educated about music through our spoken commentary from stage. Through the production and presentation of the concerts described in our proposal we were able to meet the above goals. Specific examples of how we met the goals are: At all of our concerts we performed a mix of music and genres (goal 1), for example at our “Christmas” we performed selections from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite (classical music) alongside an arrangement of music from the Disney movie “Frozen” (pop music). We deliberately don’t separate music by genre but program tunes from widely different styles and time periods in succession to show that all music can be fun and accessible - not just modern pop music. To prepare for the concerts we devoted a maximum of 10 hours of rehearsal time each week leading up to the concerts, ensuring our artists were prepared for the artistic challenges of presenting four completely different concert programs (goal 2). Our “Hands on Brass” program at the Science Museum attracted around 250 people from babies to seniors who heard our music and learned about the basics of sounds from our spoken commentary and visual aids (goal 3 and 4). Overall we were very happy with these concerts. Our season as a whole exceeded our audience goals and nearly doubled our ticket sale revenue over our 2014-2015 Twin Cities Season. We will continue to present our “Christmas on Copper Street” concert many times each season, as that program has become very popular. Artistically we feel like that concert is solid, and we will only make small changes to the repertoire. In addition, our “Grammy” concert program was very well received by both our artists and audiences and we’re planning to bring a similar program back on our Twin Cities Concert Series in the next 5 years. There aren’t any major changes we would make. We are presenting our 2016-2017 Twin Cities Series this season (outside of Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s grant programs) and will carry out this season in a similar way. We have added more “Christmas” concerts in new communities around the metro to meet demand and are presenting “Hands on Brass” and “Inside the Brass Quintet” (formerly called “Open House”) together as our “Free Family Series.” We’re also devoting more resources this season to promoting our series to hopefully continue the audience growth we experience last season. The community served with this proposal looked like the community we described. We attracted the target communities we identified in our proposal - for example we had several large groups of senior citizens from local assisted living facilities who bussed to our “Christmas” matinee concert. We didn’t conduct in-depth surveys to determine the ages and income level of our attendees, but our staff and volunteers reported that our audiences were similar to past audiences, only larger. This season we are expanding our marketing reach to more print and radio ads to continue to grow our audience. While these ads aren’t intended specifically to diversify our audience, we expect that will be a welcome side-effect of audience growth. We were able to accommodate all requests for accessibility. All of our venues are ADA compliant, so making accommodations for our guests with disabilities was relatively easy. Examples of accommodations made were: We staffed extra volunteers for our “Christmas” matinee shows at all entrances to the venue and at the elevator lift to be sure that all patrons could easily find their way and operate the elevator lift. We reserved sections of seating at our “Christmas” and “Grammy” concerts for patrons with wheelchairs and their families. Our two free concerts, “Hands on Brass” and “Open House” addressed economic barriers or child-care concerns people may have had when considering attending our other shows.

We will also use surveys from the participants and attendees to get feedback on what was successful and what can be improved.","Due to weather, the attendance was about half of 2015, and well below the planned 15% increase. Performances were reduced to one third of the scheduled. The festival started about 5:30 pm, from a planned start of 11 AM. The wet conditions prohibited the planned audience survey. A photo review provided some idea of attendance. We would say a qualified yes on artistic goals. Produced a very diverse mix of performers. International artists work permits presented some issues and required replacement with some additional costs. Many performances had to be scrapped due to the weather. Though artists and displays were scheduled, we were able to show about 50%. The costumed display and parade was severely curtailed. We believe we have a good system and model in place. Securing artists as early as possible would be a delight. Yes, successfully reached the community. The word of mouth is fantastic. Elementary school community outreach added a potential participants. The weather kept away most except the long standing Carifest patrons. Many of the older attendees decided to stay home.

Via surveys, we hope 90% of students would recommend the program to a friend. We will conduct participant and audience counts. We will also offer an online survey and paper survey.","Quantitative: We had 45 students attend and total concert attendance for the four concerts over 200 persons. Qualitative: Students improved and some parents were emotionally moved by just how good the students sounded performing on their own. 45 students attended. We had a goal of 48 and though we didn't reach that goal we actually offered more sessions which featured smaller groups of 5 or 6 each (instead of 8 which is full capacity). More guest faculty taught which exposed the students to different approaches to jazz. We committed to having all our concerts at Icehouse as the Dakota Jazz Club became to hard to schedule. The change was a good thing as different from the Dakota Icehouse offered a full menu and promoted the concerts in its publicity, something the Dakota never did. Also this summer we spaced out the workshops to have sessions in June, July, and August. This worked well and schedule allowing, we will replicate a similar offering for 2017. What we would do differently would be to begin recruiting key instrumentalists, particularly bassists, early in the Spring. For some ensembles there was no student bassist and so a guest faculty had to function in that role. It was good in that the students had a second teacher in the room but having a student bassist would be preferable. We did reach our intended community of students interested in learning more about jazz improvisation. Our outreach efforts did involve more students of color and girls- to subgroups we are most interested in helping discover jazz. Recruitment for these group was most effective when instead of classroom visits we inquired from our jazz peers if they knew of an up and coming young player who would be interested in the workshop.

The audience was strongly moved to respond to the production and the ideas behind it through post-show discussions, lobby conversations with company members, and written correspondence. We will evaluate the outcomes using audience count, box office receipts, and post-performance feedback (oral and written, including individual and press).","1375 people attended The Christians, earning $19,376 in individual ticket sales. The audience was strongly moved to respond to the production and the ideas behind it through post-show discussions totaling 100 people, nightly lobby conversations with company members, written correspondence in emails and lobby post-it displays, and more press reviews than any previous show. Did you achieve your artistic goals? We realize that these reports are usually quite effusive and positive but truly, this was one of our strongest productions ever. At a rudimentary level, we did the project as outlined: we presented all performances when and how we said we’d present them. Easy enough. For our goal to “Create a compelling, visually stunning theatrical work that is fun to watch and perform,” we can report success. Audiences responded passionately, some moved to tears, many moved to discussion, and more than I can count sought us out after the show to share their responses. Responses like: “I feel like all good theater is like church, right, it sort of gets you in the head and the guts at the same time and it connects you to the thread of spirit/god/energy that runs through the whole universe…. Congratulations and thanks for that amazing production.” –Audience member. Similarly, the press for this show was stunningly positive and effusive, more so than any other show we can remember. “Oh, Lord, does this play ever make me uncomfortable. I mean that in a good way.” –Eric Ringham, MPR News. Our next goal was to “Explore the play’s themes by focusing on relatable characters in compelling situations.” Since the script itself laid this all out beautifully with multidimensional and clearly written characters, this was an easy goal to meet. And we had great performers on staff to execute it beautifully. To meet our third goal to “Provoke thought and discussion, and provide our community with opportunities for discussion” we utilized the oft-repeated line within the script, “I have a powerful urge to communicate, but I find the distance between us insurmountable,” the cast and crew had a rallying cry to foster conversation with the audience. Furthering the conversation, a neatly even 100 audience members stayed for three energetic, considerate, and involved post-show discussions. For those who wanted to share their thoughts in a non-public way, we posed questions on posters in the lobby and audience members chimed in via Post-it note. What worked? What didn’t work? What were the strengths/challenges of your artistic process? The script required the use of wired microphones for all the actors, justified to the audience by the in-church scenes, but more curious when the story moved to a private office and a bedroom. We integrated them into rehearsal early so we avoid tangling cords, but also to make sure the actors would be constantly aware of the limits of gesturing with one hand, and the way the amplification would impact their performance. One quirk of casting was finding out that all of the actors had a very strong connection to faith, and were brought their experiences and history to bear in the rehearsal room. What, if anything, would you do differently? We would have tried sooner to engage a choir. Our eventual strategy was a nail-biter and probably took a month or two off the director’s life expectancy. Did you successfully reach your intended community (i.e. audience, participants, artists, etc.)? If not, why? Oh absolutely- we served all the artists mentioned, and based on their responses, this was an incredibly special show to them. None of these actors worked with Walking Shadow before, and only one of them worked with the director before (with DalekoArts of New Prague). All of our actors had a very strong connection to something spiritual in their personal history, and this show resonated with them in a very strong way, and we think it only lent strength to their performances. Our lead actor, playing Pastor Paul, was new to town and found this to be a tremendous introduction to Twin Cities stages. Several reviews (and more audience members than we can count) responded with a stunned, “Where did HE come from?!” Both of the actresses in the show were surprised to be called in to audition, considering themselves to be comic and character actresses, suddenly asked to do some deeply soul-searching drama (at which they excelled). And both were thrilled and honored (their words, not mine) to be allowed to stretch their own limits in a different kind of role. Audience-wise, we had 1375 attendees, almost double our budgeted attendance. This show was a tremendous success for us. Did your outreach efforts result in community diversity? If not, what would you do differently in the future? We did an audience survey (with an unheard-of 62% response rate) and based on the demographics we regularly measure, this audience was as diverse as ours usually are in terms of gender identity, sexual orientation, age, income, and disability. We remain not particularly diverse in audience’s race/ethnicity. One of the five actors was an artist of color, as were 2 of 9 choir members. We know that casting more artists of color is critical to reflect our community, and increase the diversity in our audience. In what ways did you meet your goals for making your project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate? We did everything we spelled out in our application, much of it in thanks to Mixed Blood’s recent efforts to make their space more accessible. We did two performances of ASL interpretation (one without ASL patrons, another with 2), and two of AD interpretation (6 total). One of the AD performances encountered significant problems with the borrowed equipment. After the performance one user said, “The AD didn’t work but the play hit home nonetheless. I want to make a donation.” Lucky for us, the power of this show was more auditory than visual! Incredibly close to our estimate of 230 tickets, we gave away 223 comp tickets. 218 people enjoyed major discounts (student, military, pay what you can) – about the number we estimated, but a smaller percentage of the audience because of the increased number of people who paid full price.",,19207,"Other, local or private",29207,,"Michael Borchert, John Heimbuch, David Pisa, Amy Rummenie: Charleen Zimmer, James Matheson, Ben Thietje, Brent LaSalle, Angela Sylvester, Amanda White Thietje, Kit Shelton, Mary Mullen",0.00,"Walking Shadow Theatre Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce The Christians, a new play by Lucas Hnath.

Participants will be engaged in a hands on learning environment in a well-rounded theater experience. The professionals and artists involved with the program will evaluate the outcomes and at the end of the project. Financial success is measured by meeting two goals of keeping the participants and audiences fees low, so it is accessible to everyone in the community. The second goal we stay within our project budget expenses. Additionally this year we will ask parents to complete an anonymous online survey with five basic questions to help improve our program. One question asked parents is to rate their satisfaction 1 to 5 (1 = extremely dissatisfied; 5=extremely satisfied with Summer Youth Theater as a program. We are also hoping to receive some practical suggestions to help improve the program. We plan to continue the online survey in future years.","Parents were to complete a survey with 5 questions. Out of 32 families, 16 surveys were completed. One question asked was to rate satisfaction 1 to 5 with Summer Youth Theatre. 15 chose 5 (extremely satisfied), and 1 chose 4 (satisfied.) We received praise and practical suggestions. We planned on 40 youth involved in this year’s show, we ended up with 39. We estimated an audience of 500 and our actual audience was 780! We achieved all 4 articulated goals, and we consider this year’s show a success. We provided a place for youth to explore their creativity and learn about theatre. 39 youth were involved. Our original script allowed students to be creative and add their own touches. Cast members had a blast diving into their unique character, building background stories, and turning a rough draft into a polished show. One obvious strength in this year’s program was the opportunity for our participants to develop leadership, self-esteem, discipline, and cooperation in working together to produce a show in 6 weeks. This year’s cast was especially young, and it encouraged a group of eighth graders to really step up into that leadership role when our leaders are traditionally closer to tenth grade. This group served as a model to others for teamwork and positive attitude despite a large age difference. Another strength of this year’s show was the script’s theme. Each year we strive for a theme or moral that encourages global consciousness and/or critical thinking. This year’s script was certainly educational and timely. Kids for President taught our cast members about the electoral process and challenged the audience to consider the desired qualities in leader of this country. One young mother told me that after seeing the show, her conversation in a fifteen minute car ride with her 5-year-old went from definition of a good and bad leader to exploring different government systems! We certainly met our goal of challenging audience members to reflect. One challenge this year to the artistic process was changes in the personal lives of directors. For the past five years, Hannah and Jake (script authors and directors), Lauren (music composer and director), and Kyle (tech director) have worked very well together and developed an easy rhythm. This summer all had big changes such a new baby, graduate school classes during rehearsal, and a new job. This demanded some creativity at rehearsal bringing in past participants to help with rehearsals. Additionally, our student directors had to be absent for a couple weeks here and there. The inconsistency of adults at rehearsal created a challenge in developing a routine-based environment for young learners. If a similar situation occurred in future years, we would work hard to have at least two or three adults who can be at rehearsal every day rather than just one consistent adult. We feel that we served the diversity of our community well. The program is designed to be open and accessible to all who want to participate. The registration information clearly states that all youth who completed grades 3 through 12, had an equal opportunity to be involved in the production. All households in the district receive the registration information in the Summer Community Education brochure. Those who were involved in the administrative, artistic, and volunteer groups who worked on the project represented the diversity of our community. We believe the community is always affected for the better by Summer Theatre performances. We see positive reactions from the actors, their families, and their friends. We also hear testimonials from current and past participants that Summer Theatre is or was one of the best experiences. We have seen many Summer Youth Theatre participants continue their theatrical involvement in the high school plays, often landing large roles because of their abilities and experience. Students testify that they not only grew theatrically, but also personally. Strong friendships are formed in Summer Youth Theatre, and it is the goal of the directors to be mentors in all aspects of life. The majority of the participants are involved in their early teens. It is such a crucial time in developing their morals and ethics. Summer Youth Theatre fosters a positive, safe environment in which students are able to grow. Summer Youth Theatre provides an opportunity for individuals to shine on stage. Every student is given at least two lines, and everyone participates in several songs with choreography. Participants are encouraged to stay after rehearsal and contribute to set work and finding/creating costumes. Students are given the opportunity to be involved in whichever way they wish, resulting in learned teamwork skills, technical skills, and self-esteem. They then carry those skills out into the community in a variety of ways: involvement in their church, 4-H, jobs, sports, teams, and volunteerism. Because our program design is flexible and inclusive, we are able to readily accommodate participants with special needs. Participants can indicate special needs on the registration form. An American with Disabilities Act statement is printed in the Community Education brochure. A number of participants this year were diagnosed with anxiety. With the help of directors communicating with parents, they were able to participate without barriers. Students do not need to audition to be in the show. Registration alone guarantees them a spot on stage – auditions simply dictate which part they get. This makes theatre accessible to students who may be shy initially and allows them to grow in confidence. We were able to accommodate several limited-mobility persons at our performances by use of our easily accessible, state-of-the-art performance space.

Also, the majority of students say the Guild is a supportive resource for anyone interested in the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing. The participation numbers will be tracked, and student surveys and instructor feedback will be distributed and collected.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota proposed in our application that 40-50 classes would be offered. We far exceeded this, offering 90 classes, 83% of which were held; this was more classes than in any class series. There were 657 registrations total with 495 unique students. 100% of students would take another class from their instructor, and 99% told us the class met their expectation. The Weavers Guild of Minnesota has been preserving and advancing the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing for 76 years; our Winter/Spring 2016 Class Series continued this tradition. Through these classes, Weavers Guild of Minnesota accomplished the four goals detailed in our application. Goal 1: Celebrate and respect all individuals from beginners to seasoned artists and craftspersons. We offered many classes for beginners; all had at least five students in the class and most were completely full with ten students. Specifically, there were six floor loom weaving, six portable weaving, three spinning, three dyeing, and twenty-five one-day experience classes. This was a notable increase over the previous year. Weavers Guild of Minnesota also supported our advanced artists. Many of our intermediate and advanced weavers took more than one class. While most repeat students took two or three courses, two students took seven classes. These two students were able to significantly develop as artists because of this intensive study. Goal 2: Promote innovative, art-based uses of fiber. Innovation is vital to ensure these arts remain relevant and vibrant. Weavers Guild of Minnesota offered several classes specifically to address innovative uses of fiber, two examples are: Spin a Picture in which students used paintings or photographs to inspire color palette and spinning strategies to create unique art yarn that captured a moment in time, and Mixed Media and Sustainability, in which students explored using found materials and generating minimal waste during the weaving process. Goal 3: Provide a rich, positive environment that inspires lifelong learning in a non-competitive environment, nurturing a multi-generational community. We had two new instructors during the Winter/Spring Class Series, both of whom are under 30 years old. We also had four advanced students start as classroom assistants to gain teaching experience. Additionally, our particularly advanced courses were attended by several students who had not taken classes at the Weavers Guild for over five years. These individuals are active members and study group participants, and by taking advanced courses in Winter/Spring, they were able to continue developing their artistic skills. Goal 4: Provide opportunities for individuals to learn from teaching artists about the creative process and artistic expression. All Weavers Guild of Minnesota classes present weaving, spinning, and dyeing as artistic disciplines. However, as with many mediums, foundational classes focus more on technical knowledge. Design and creative process become a greater focus in intermediate and advanced courses. One third of our classes offered in Winter/Spring 2016 provided the opportunity to explore such topics with experienced teaching artists. For program evaluation, we asked if students had broadened their artistic skills in these classes and if Weavers Guild of Minnesota was a supportive resource, but only about 25% of students provided answers to these questions. We plan to revise our survey to obtain the information we need. Members of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota community share a passion for weaving, spinning, and/or dyeing. Weavers Guild of Minnesota is the main resource for community members located in the Twin Cities and wider metropolitan area, and also for those from other Minnesota communities that do not have a local weaving, spinning, or dyeing resource. We know that our Winter/Spring 2016 Class Series was particularly successful because a dramatic participation increase was observed. There were 657 class registrations, which was double that in the same period in 2015. Of these registrations, 47% were Weavers Guild of Minnesota members and 53% were non-members. Regarding non-member students specifically, we had triple the registrations as compared to the same period in 2015. We attribute this increase to our successful marketing and outreach efforts. By demonstrating at diverse venues such as Twin Cities Pride, Mini Maker Faire, and the Minnesota State Fair, as well as an increased social media presence, more potential students were reached. While there were 657 class registrations, there were only 495 unique students because many took more than one class. This, paired with qualitative stories, clearly show that our members are taking multiple classes and advancing through the curriculum. While we are successfully broadening our community through increased non-member registrations, we are still supporting our core membership of artists and craftpersons. Our core membership has historically been at least 50% individuals who are 55 and older, and female. We are proud to provide a safe and creative space for these individuals, especially since this demographic remains largely under-served by arts education organizations. We also value welcoming new members to our community. Two years ago, we had only five members under 30. Now, we have nearly sixty total, and some individuals in this group are on the Board of Directors. It is far more difficult to measure our success in creating classes to attract more individuals of diverse gender identification, race and cultural backgrounds. We do not currently collect data on these identifiers, but in the future, we hope to implement a way to gather and analyze this information in a respectful and meaningful way. Finally, Weavers Guild of Minnesota continues to strive to offer a rich array of classes for all budgets. Our on-site classes range in cost from $17 to $350, but through our partnerships with Dakota County Library Adults Programming, Weavers Guild of Minnesota is able to offer free classes at several locations.

Workhaus Collective is tremendously proud of the work we did on LASSO OF TRUTH. Artistic goals were achieved for a very complicated show, working with a limited budget but apparently unlimited enthusiasm and teamwork. The strengths of the piece were its challenging form, which included moments of extremely non-traditional storytelling (including the use of drawn comic-panels telling a slightly different story than the one being told by the actors onstage, expanding the narrative and calling into question the truth of memory, and sections that were performed in darkness) and moments that dealt frankly with unusual sexualities. The strengths of the artistic process definitely included assembling the team of amazing actors and designers, beginning with director Leah Cooper, and nurturing and giving space to this astounding collection of talent. Ms. Cooper ran a thrilling, warm, and respectful process. Workhaus was able to attract a high level of acting talent, all people who had worked with Carson Kreitzer in the past, and were excited by the piece. Several accepted lower fees than their usual in order to work with us. The design team was similarly accomplished, and excited by the challenges inherent in the piece. These challenges, unfortunately, often fell upon the backs of the fantastic projection and sound designers, who had to wrestle an astonishingly large number of cues into Qlab. In the course of running the piece, the challenge fell upon the shoulders of our wonderful, young stage manager, who handled an intensely dense book with aplomb, calling cues pretty much non-stop for the whole show. The resulting theatrical event was absolutely thrilling, and one of our most successful productions in the history of the company. In future, we would take steps to ensure that there is sufficient additional tech time built into the schedule for a show of this complexity. The designers put in many hours at night after regular tech hours. We are eminently grateful to them, and everyone was thrilled with the final product. But in future, we would make sure they have time to get their best work done, and also get enough sleep! In our proposal, we hoped to reach an audience of at least 400. We are thrilled to report that actual audience attendance was a record-breaking 1,018. We absolutely reached new communities for Workhaus, especially the Comic/Geek community, and the bondage/alternative sexuality communities. We also continued to bring in new audience through outreach to universities, this time making special efforts to reach feminist communities within the universities, often through personal connections with feminist professors. This was very successful, pointing to a real need for more plays that put women at the center of the narrative. Working with Walking Shadow Theatre Company on this show was a wonderful chance to have our companies ""cross-pollinate."" Because of previous work they have done, Walking Shadow had access to those who would be particularly excited for a comic-book inspired play, and also members of the polyamory community, who were eager to see their lives reflected onstage in a non-sensationalistic, respectful manner. We got wonderful feedback from members of these communities. Walking Shadow also helped us reach out to the deaf community, even finding us an interpreter who has connections to the deaf LGBT/kink community. Her feedback on the process was invaluable! For the history of our company, we have always had pay-what-you-wish tickets available. This became a challenge for this show, because we were selling out so many shows ahead of time! But we wanted to insure that we would always have pay-what-you-wish seating available, so we added a front row of benches, which we held back from pre-sale, and let our audiences know that we would always have a certain number of pay-what-you-wish tickets available for every show, even if it appeared to be sold out online. This is certainly a show that appealed to younger audiences, and college students; making sure we had pay-what-you-wish tickets available definitely helped bring these audiences in.",,18550,"Other, local or private",28550,,"Jeremy B Cohen, Polly K Carl, Jonathan J Wolfe, Daniella Topol, Christopher Smith, Keri Kellerman",0.00,"Workhaus Playwrights Collective AKA Workhaus Collective","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the area premiere of Lasso of Truth, by award winning playwright Carson Kreitzer.

Young Artists Initiative will grow its audience by 15% over last year's performance at this same time of year. Young Artists Initiative solicits quantitative and qualitative feedback from participants rating their Young Artists Initiative experience, the learning involved, and the family's experience when participating. Data is collected from and about audiences to rate effectiveness of publicity and outreach.","45% of the young actors were new to Young Artists Initiative. This was very close to our target goal of 50%, a remarkable achievement due to the audition-based nature of the experience. We did receive 5% critical feedback for how we can improve, particularly in the area of actor's musical development. We also increased our audiences by 50%, well above the target goal of 15%. Our primary artistic goal is to give young performers an artistic learning opportunity that goes beyond simply putting together a performance. We achieved this with an amazing artistic team that really put young people at the fore of the work. Comments from young people and families alike spoke to the community building that occurred during the process and the sense of honoring the value of the kids they experienced. Each actor played at least two or three roles in the production, and as such had multiple costumes. This influenced the overall size of the cast, due to budget restrictions. Interestingly, we also had a number of young people who dropped from the production after being offered roles. This is always a challenge with an audition-based show, as some actors are only wanting specific parts. One particular story is in regards to the girl who played Ariel in the production. She was from Mankato, Minnesota, and her mother is a teacher. She expressed a little skepticism that Young Artists Initiative could deliver on the level of quality as such a small organization, especially after attending our parent meeting at the beginning of the rehearsal process. Checking in with her over the course of the production, I was able to learn that she was incredibly impressed and proud to be a part of the organization. Her husband volunteered countless hours of driving and set-building time. The artistic team really delivered an amazing final production. The performance's colors in lights, sound, and the scale of the set were unprecedented for a Young Artists Initiative show. This was the first time we were able to realize a false proscenium. As mentioned before, actors had multiple costume changes, and audiences continually complimented on them after performances. The final goal was to deliver an outstanding artistic experience for our the audience, and the record-setting attendance we had spoke to much of the word-of-mouth ""advertising"" that occurred from audience members who came to see these young people perform. Many audience members came to multiple performances because they enjoyed it so much. One even commented that they enjoyed the production even more than when they had seen a professional production performed in town in 2015. Our artistic team was really the key to this experience, and it was a little tight with staffing, due to the inability early on to find a suitable director. We have entertained the idea of beginning our season staffing process even earlier, to ensure we have access to the best available adult talent to work with our young people. It is my hope that we can work with each of these artists again in the future, and even invite some leadership opportunities with the organization. We are also building our capacity for volunteers, and trying to recruit from some of the new families that joined us on this production. Our first goal was to have 50% of our young artists new to Young Artists Initiative programming and describe personal growth. We had 10 of 22 participants new to the program (45%), so we almost reached that goal. We were surprised by the lack of turnout for male performers. We had a wide geographic range of participants as well, with the longest distance being an actor from the Mankato area. We were glad to have additional actors of color — and in fact all three were new to the organization. This is still an area of growth for us, and we are looking at deliberate programming efforts to push into school within one mile of our rehearsal space. Actors' feedback on their evaluations during this project were not as insightful as we have seen in the past. This could be due to the younger demographic that participated. Families' evaluations were also supportive, but offered less specific detail. One piece families spoke to specifically was a dislike of our attempt to better meet evening family needs by adjusting rehearsals; they preferred a consistent time each day of the week. As for our audiences, we exceeded our goals in this area. We grew our audience by 50% over last year. We believe it is due to the popularity of THE LITTLE MERMAID as a story. Even as a theater organization that provides programming for young actors, we were surprised by the number of small children who were in attendance, given that the show was a full two hours and twenty minutes long. All parents described the show as completely engaging for these young people. We also felt like our audience demographics in this production better reflected our community as a whole. We would still like to better reach audience members who utilize our ASL interpretation, as turnout was very low. Audience surveys were small in turnout, but highlights included positive feedback on the costume design in particular. One additional data point to note was that 50% of our adult artistic team members were new to the organization. The opportunities that Young Artists Initiative provides emerging artists who are just beginning their careers in the Twin Cities is something we are proud of. The fact that we also bring back artists year after year who are interested in working with our organization again also speaks to the quality experience they have. Young Artists Initiative always conducts an all-staff debrief and shares audience and actor/family feedback with the team for their personal development and growth as well. This is also an opportunity for us to hear from our artists about how we can improve.",,9550,"Other, local or private",19550,,"Barb Deming, David Holewinski, Raymond Krause, Benjamin Lacina, James McCormick, Tim Moy, Laurie Mucciacciaro",0.00,"Young Artists Initiative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 2016 Winter Theater Experience, an eight-week auditioned based theater program for youth that culminates in eight public performances of The Little Mermaid.

32617,"Arts Activities Support",2016,9400,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","25-30 underserved Burnsville Junior High school students, will register for and participate in an 8 week MODERN DANCE PROJECT. Of those registered, there will be 90% attendance at each class with the same participation rate in the Community Concert presented at the end of the project. The Community Concert attendance will reflect an audience of parents, family member, educators/support staff and community members. Evaluations will consist of documented registrations of 25-30 underserved Burnsville Junior High students with consistent attendance (attendance will be taken at each class). Two parent volunteers will count seats filled at the pay as you are able Community Concert. A short survey will be included in the Community Concert program asking How did you hear about our Community Concert?","Most outstanding was the artistic growth of the participants where 100% of those surveyed indicated a positive and creative environment when modern dance was experienced and performed for the first time. Additional information from the survey indicated that 93% of the dancers from the Modern Dance Project would like to participate in this project again. Through the course of the project, the following Artistic Goals were achieved: The Teaching Artists started each class with modern based warm-ups. Not only were the participants exposed to modern technique, but basic ballet terminology and technique were also introduced. Trust and support of individual movement, were addressed during the early weeks of the project. Once boundaries were established, students were exposed to and actively participated in improvised movement. The transition of the dancers was exemplary and profound! As choreography progressed, a variety of music was introduced to the dancers. The selected music for one of the dances was chosen in collaboration with the participants. Through this process, participants learned the relationship between movement and music. Participants also had an opportunity to vocalize in one of the dances. The performance level of the participants at the Modern Dance Project Concert exceeded all expectation of comprehension. The performers were professional and encompassing. The most outstanding event that took place during the project was the transformation of the participants and the success they experienced. Most of the students all faced a variety of learning barriers. They learned that whatever they brought to the dance studio on any given day, they could leave it at the door and focus just on dance. The best feedback came from Aunestie who commented, ""this is the first time my family is going to see me do something right."" The biggest challenge that we faced was that of losing one of our teaching artists who relocated to New York after this grant was submitted. A large amount of effort was dedicated to finding a replacement who possessed the same skills, willingness, and talent to make this project successful. We found all of these qualities in Alejandra Iannone who was an asset to the Modern Dance Project. We experienced two more challenges that were not foreseen. One was that of performance space for the Modern Dance Project Concert. We had originally booked the Mraz Performing Arts Center at Burnsville High School. It is a wonderful performance space that seats 505 people. At the end of January, after the project had already started, we were ""bumped"" from the facility to high school programming. This situation created a huge challenge for us as there was no other performance venue, close to the same size, with the needed technical capability for the performance. Accessibility was also a challenge. We are grateful that Burnsville Community Education was able to financially assist us with the cost and the performance was held at the Ames Performing Arts Center. In spite of the theater seating over a thousand people, and we had just over 300 in attendance, the theater was a delight for all involved. In spite of all our recruitment efforts, we did not meet the number of participants we had hoped to reach. Recruitment at both Nicollet and Metcalf Junior High Schools yielded over seventy five interested students. Follow up emails were then sent to those students to remind them to register. Of that number, twenty two were males. During the week prior to start of the Modern Project, only twenty four females had signed up to participate, even with concerted efforts to include young men in the project. On the first day of the Project (January 11, 2016) twenty dancers attended. We did try to recruit additional students but the feedback we received was that their after school activities were already in place. In the end, 16 dancers participated in the Modern Dance Project Concert. This was a disappointing number in that Community Education was confident that they could recruit at least 25-30 participants. Discussions have taken place to research how we might better reach out to those interested in the Project. The Community Education leadership is very supportive of the project is pleased with the outcome. They are not concerned about the lower than expected turnout of participants. Christian Kibler (Community Education liaison for the district) commented, ""No matter what, Youth Dance Ensemble has set up this program as an assurance for at risk students to have success"" The Project's population was diverse in terms of ethnicity. Brian Evans (Teaching Artist) is bi-racial, Alejandra Iannone is Venezuelan. The ethnic breakdown of the participants was 83% black, 8% Latino, 7% bi-racial and 2% Caucasian. There was also diversity in age with a range of 11 (our youngest participant) to 57 (our oldest Artistic Support). We exceeded our intended audiences for the Modern Dance Project Concert as projected in the grant. Although Burnsville Mayor did not attend the concert, we were very pleased with the number of community members and school staff who came to the concert. This included administrators, teachers and support staff. Because the Ames Center is located in the heart of the city, those attending the concert were easily able to access the facility by public transportation, school buses, and walking. Presenting a concert in March always brings the concern of snow which could cause a barrier for access.

Box office records will be kept by the Cowles, and workshop/fiesta attendance records kept by Zorongo. Informal interviews will also be conducted with all artists following the performances and Artistic Director, Susana di Palma, together with the Zorongo Board of Directors, will complete a final review and evaluation of the entire season.","95% of audiences (937 attendees) expressed interest in attending another Zorongo event in the future; many new names were added to our mailing list. The number of students attending (over 450) has made us re-consider the number of matinee performances offered and how to reach even more schools that might benefit by seeing our work. Artistic goals for LORCA’S WOMEN were to: 1) engage Twin Cities’ audiences with consummate flamenco dance and music and; 2) provide local dancers and musicians with the opportunity to work closely with artists who have reached the apex of skill and artistry in flamenco voice, guitar, dance, and choreography. “Throughout, di Palma drives the connections between stories… It is her shouts of “Silencio” at the beginning and end of the show that draw our attention, but also captivating is her lifelong commitment to finding new ways to showcase flamenco as a mesmerizing form of creative expression.” –Caroline Palmer, Minneapolis Star Tribune. Zorongo’s much-anticipated production of LORCA’s WOMEN performed at the Cowles Center in April 2016 was enthusiastically received and regarded as one of Susana di Palma’s “strongest to date.” The quote above is indicative of the response by audiences who reacted spontaneously—viscerally and loudly—to the passionate and “riveting” movement on stage. Our 5 guest artists included dancer Omayra Amaya, guitarists Jose Valle “Chuscales” and Roberto Castellon, and singers La Conja and Kina Mendez. Local performers included Susana di Palma, AJ Frenzel, Deborah Elias, and Colette Illarde who were joined by Zorongo’s 8 apprentice dancers. New creative challenges were successfully met by Zorongo company dancers as the piece presented multiple soloist opportunities. Zorongo’s apprentices excelled, reaching the next level of artistry and involvement with the company, a few even dancing in lead roles. The participation of our guest artists pushed all Zorongo artists to new heights technically and performatively. The success of Omayra’s involvement continued off stage. Her workshops resulted in record attendance for Zorongo and were strongly supported by the Twin Cities’ flamenco community including support from other companies such as Anda Flamenco. A pleasant surprise to us, Zorongo’s student matinee performance was sold out prior to the opening weekend. However due to time constraints, we were not able to add another student showing. This is something we wish to add next year. We also hope to provide more rehearsal time for the artists and include more musicians in the production. We saw many opportunities for future artistic collaborations. Overall, our biggest strengths for the project included: a fantastic review by the Star Tribune that mentioned all performers in a positive light, record attendance at our guest artist workshops, and a well-attended meaningful talk back event. Artists and audience members were engaged in new ways with the art form. In our proposal, we wrote that success for this project will mean that a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the art of flamenco will be gained by participants, that more interest in attending Zorongo’s activities will develop, and that increased visibility and recognition will occur—these goals were all met. Zorongo was successful in reaching our intended community including the local flamenco artists, students, Spanish language and cultural enthusiasts, and Lorca scholars. Our audiences were diverse as expected in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. We did experience a greater number of students than originally anticipated—the student matinee was sold out two months prior to the performance. Exploring the idea of expanding our student performance schedule is on the table for next year. The post-performance talk back session was a draw for those interested in learning more about the production, artists, and Lorca. About 70 individuals participated in the discussion led by Susana di Palma and Carleton College professor Silvia Lopez. New partnerships with 3M and Anchor Bank, each sponsoring the performance, provided rich resources for promotion. 3M’s “Newsroom” created a promo video for the performance. The video aired at 3M the week prior to show time and currently has over 30,000 views; it is currently 3M Newsroom's most viewed video. In the future, Zorongo will seek additional corporate partnerships to attract new audiences. Attendance goals for performances and workshops were met and we feel that we were successful in making our project’s accessible to all who wished to participate including through the ADA compliancy of the spaces used, (The Cowles Center and Zorongo Studio), and through admission prices and low workshop fees. The new channels of performance promotion (see above), and methods for promoting workshops also helped us to meet our accessibility and diversity goals.",,40836,"Other, local or private",49200,,"Christine Kozachok, Robin Moede, Vicki Walker, Catherine Higgins Whiteside, Alessandra Chiarelli, Tamara Rogers, Matthew Hoerr, Jill Martinez, Silvia Lopez, Thomas Peden, Maria Jose Martin Orejana, Evelyn Padilla, Trisha Beuhring, Sarah Strauss",0.00,"Zorongo Flamenco, Inc.

Through this event, we aim to 1) increase the understanding of Afro-Brazilian culture among at least 90% of participants, 2) increase the physical skills among at least 90% of local practitioners. Objective 1) will be assessed through a short survey asking if they found the event educational and if they would return for a future event. Objective 2) will be assessed through instructor evaluation as follows: A) Local students will be evaluated two weeks before the event by the project director according to their ability to perform related skills.

First, we will ask all participants to complete brief surveys on their last day of painting. Considering age appropriateness, we will pose questions such as: Did this project enhance your understanding of mural painting and/or art in general? Are you more interested in public art, based on your experience? What was your favorite part of the project? Will this experience encourage you to participate in future community art projects? Teaching Artists and Laura McArthur’s Art Specialist will also observe the learning that occurs throughout the process and students’ engagement in the interactive portions.","Two-thirds of Laura MacArthur students (300), grades K-5, were engaged in the brainstorming and ideation stages of the mural.

The Crow Wing County (CWC) Water Plan identifies Big Trout Lake as a priority lake to enhance due to its significant decline in water clarity and high ratio of impervious surface surrounding the lake. The 2015 CWC Assessors Property Tax Assessment reports that Big Trout has the second highest taxable land value in CWC at $4,200 per foot of shoreline. This demonstrates how significant the lake is to the local community and CWC. In order to ensure Big Trout Lakeshore property retains its value, this project will implement a targeted and high priority stormwater project based off the University of Minnesota Central Regional Sustainable Development Partnership (CRSDP) study. This study consisted of stormwater product design research, landuse cover data, public meetings, engineering, and survey design work. The SWCD will utilize the draft engineered plan to solve a 30 year County Road 66 (CTY RD) stormwater problem which currently contributes 50 pounds of phosphorus per year to Big Trout Lake. To mitigate the runoff, the SWCD will partner with the CWC Highway (HWY) Department, City of Manhattan Beach, Whitefish Area Property Owners Association (WAPOA) to install three Downstream Defenders and a series of underground pipes. This targeted approach reflects the lessons learned from SWCD's Deerwood Stormwater Project; which included extensive community outreach, use of media resources, site preparation and design components, communication and oversight of contractors, site inspections, proper maintenance, and project evaluation. The SWCD believes that if stormwater runoff problems are not addressed within Big Trout that water clarity will continue to decline, negatively altering the quality of life and economic vitality of Manhattan Beach and CWC.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Melissa,Barrick,"Crow Wing SWCD","322 Laurel Street, Suite 13",Brainerd,MN,56401,218-828-6197,melissa.barrick@crowwingswcd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Crow Wing",,"Pine River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/big-trout-high-quality-lake-county-road-66-stormwater-project,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",No

Recent advanced modeling by the MN DNR and Metropolitan Council of aquifer supplies, in conjunction with predicted demand, indicate the major metropolitan area aquifers are currently subject to extraction rates that exceed recharge. Simply stated, we are mining our groundwater. In addition to supply concerns, several surface waters within the metro area, most notably White Bear Lake, are experiencing impacts due to reduced aquifer levels associated with excessive groundwater extraction. Sustainable groundwater strategies will need to influence both the supply and use side of the water budget. Supply can be increased through efforts that infiltrate precipitation into the soil; use can be decreased by implementing efficiencies, and the use of alternative water sources. The Metro Conservation Districts (MCD) propose to provide groundwater conservation planning protocols to member districts for implementation on large-acreage, public campuses (e.g. public schools, hospitals, and government facilities). These areas are targeted due to their educational benefits, likelihood of stakeholder buy in and implementation, magnitude of potential impact, and opportunity for school district-wide implementation.

Protection of four large complexes - Koester Prairie (Prairie Creek WMA), Circle Lake (Circle Lake WMA), Erin Township (Big Woods Heritage WMA), and Wells Township (Sunktokeca WMA) provide new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. Located just south of the Twin Cities metro in an area that has seen development pressure due to the close proximity of the Twin Cities, I-35 and the Upper Cannon Lakes, the Cannon River watershed has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are also the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase III program was designed to address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State, degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour's drive for over half of the state's population. The Phase III program is a part of a multi-year conservation effort, focusing on the Cannon River watershed, that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The Phase III acquisitions were prioritized toward protecting existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, oak savanna, tamarack swamp), and shallow lakes. In addition, landowner willingness to sell and the threat of conversion were also taken into consideration. Protection of these lands provides critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock), white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, lake fishing, and wildlife observation. In addition, restoration work conducted by the MN DNR has been focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired and has included restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands and lakes back to native habitat. Four acquisitions were completed with Phase III funding: 1. Koester Prairie (Prairie Creek WMA)  (Rice County) The Trust for Public Land acquired Koester Prairie and conveyed this 460 acre property to the DNR on December 20, 2013 to be managed as a new Wildlife Management Area. This property contains approximately 327 acres of rolling grassland, prairie, and oak savanna that are associated with Prairie Creek and its tributaries and that directly buffer approximately 133 acres of rare and highly significant native prairie. Over forty native upland prairie species have been documented here as well as a number of sedge meadow and wet prairie species. The dry oak savanna found on the property is also extremely rare, with only 13 occurrences of this type documented in the state. The site is known to locals as being the biggest and best birding area in the county. Bird Species in Greatest Conservation Need utilizing this site include: Swainson’s Hawk, Upland Sandpiper, Red-headed Woodpecker, Grasshopper Sparrow, and Bobolink.  The Trust for Public Land purchased this property for a total of $1,885,000 using $1,032,507 from Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Phase II (ML 2012 OHF; allocated acreage 200), and also $652,493 in funds from Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Phase III (ML 2013 OHF; allocated acreage 127), and RIM funding of $200,000 (133 acres). 2.

",,"All of the areas targeted by the Trust for Public Land have been identified and prioritized through state, regional and local natural resource plans due to their high biodiversity and connectivity. The Cannon River watershed includes Big Woods, oak savannas, wetlands and sensitive shorelines, which provide habitat for a variety of Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Specifically, the shoreline zones protected are one of the most essential and threatened habitat resources in the state.

This resulted in one new Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and four additions to existing WMAs. Now publicly accessible, these protected areas include wetland, prairie, and ""Big Woods"" forest habitat. The permanent preservation of these places has reversed habitat loss, allowed for habitat restoration, and increased access to public lands for hunting, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor recreation opportunities.","The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase V program acquired 242 acres of high-quality wetland, prairie, remnant Big Woods forest, and shoreline habitat for wildlife in the Cannon River Watershed. The protection, creation (Trout Lily WMA), and expansion (Gray Fox, Factor, and Warsaw WMAs) of three large complexes provide new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase V program was designed to address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State, degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour drive for over half of the State's population. The Phase V program is a part of a multi-year conservation effort, focusing on the Cannon River Watershed, that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lake shore, and river shoreline. The Phase V acquisitions were prioritized toward protecting existing large wetland/upland complexes and rare communities (Big Woods forest, oak savanna, tamarack swamp). In addition, landowner willingness to sell and the threat of conversion were also taken into consideration. Protection of these lands provides critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallard, canvasback, wood duck, hooded merganser, pintail, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock), white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappie, bluegill, and walleye). Protection provided access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, lake fishing, and wildlife observation. In addition, restoration work conducted by the MN DNR has been focused on degraded portions of the lands acquired, including restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands and lakes back to native habitat. Specifically, five acquisitions were completed with Phase V funding: 1. Gray Fox WMA - Rice County The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired the Gray Fox WMA property on October 19, 2018 and conveyed the 78-acre parcel to the DNR on April 23, 2019 managed as a new WMA. This property has rolling topography of wetland and grassland habitat located in the upper reaches of the Cannon River Watershed just west of Shields Lake (the headwaters of the Cannon River). It has great scenic views and natural beauty, and it will provide much needed public access for dispersed wildlife-based recreation including hiking, hunting, trapping, bird-watching, and general nature observation. TPL purchased this property for a total of $406,000 using $336,979 of the Cannon River Phase V acquisition funds (ML2015 OHF; allocated acreage 65), and also $69,021 from Cannon River Phase VI (ML2016 OHF; allocated acreage 13). 2. Warsaw WMA - Goodhue County TPL acquired the parcel on July 31, 2018 and conveyed 18 acres to the MN DNR on August 1, 2018 to be managed as an addition to the Warsaw WMA. Identified as a priority by the Wildlife Action Network this acquisition is adjacent to Hwy 56 and expands the existing WMA, squaring up boundaries, and provides improved public access for quality outdoor recreation and hunting opportunities within an hour drive of the Twin Cities. TPL purchased this property for a total of $61,900. Several rare features were identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey within one mile of the acquisition which is located within a Site of High Biodiversity Significance. 3. Factor WMA - Le Sueur County TPL acquired tracts 4 and 6 of the Factor WMA property on July 30, 2018 and conveyed the 54-acre parcel to the DNR on August 28, 2018 to be managed as an addition to the Factor WMA. TPL purchased this parcel for $272,200, the acquisition helped to square off boundaries and provide an additional access point to the WMA. This property has a significant amount of wetlands which provide high quality habitat for wildlife and help to buffer the adjacent Cannon River near its headwaters. It has great scenic views and natural beauty, and it will provide much needed public access for dispersed wildlife-based recreation including hunting, trapping, bird-watching, and general nature observation. 4. Trout Lily WMA (Phase I) - Rice County TPL acquired the first phase of the Trout Lily WMA property on August 9, 2017 and conveyed the 112-acre parcel to the DNR on November 6, 2018 to be managed as a new Wildlife Management Area. This property was identified as a high priority for protection by both the State Wildlife Action Plan and SNA Strategic Land Acquisition Plan. The property has deeply dissected wooded ravines and upland which drain to the adjacent Cannon River just upstream of The Nature Conservancy?s Trout Lily preserve and the DNR Trout Lily Scientific and Natural Area (SNA), both of which abut this property.

Outcomes will be: a statistical and narrative record of the impact of the show as a whole, and of individual pieces, completion of the Battleship series, an increased network of fellow artists, more public recognition as a unique regional artist, a presentation of Great Lakes history made memorable by the use of gaming materials, and a new graphic metric for sports fans to see the movement in a particular game. For my own artistic development, the grant will allow me time to pursue my vision of play in art and expand into new areas. Since having a second child, time and resources have become more precious. My experience with the Quick Start showed me how grants like this can help keep my art practice viable. I will keep a record of local media, blog, and other mentions or reviews of the work. I will note the number of new followers of my blog and twitter accounts, and visitors to my website. I will likewise track any invitations to future art shows or collaborations, keep a sign-in/comment book at the opening reception, and note any income such as art sales, jobs or commissions deriving from this opportunity. The Duluth Art Institute and Depot may also keep door counts which I can tally during the month of the show to estimate an overall number of viewers; director Annie Dugan estimates 11,000 visitors over the course of a show, perhaps 15% being children. After completing a number of new pieces, I will gain insight into my current working process, and what direction my continuing work might take. I am interested in designing some of the new pieces so that the experience may be interactive for the audience, fitting with the theme of games and play.","My 3 specific outcomes were met: completing my series of Battleship great lakes maps; exhibiting them with related new works including sports collages; and sharing ideas with other artists and the public. I created 5 new assemblages and 6 collages. An archived recording was made of our artist talk, moderated by local artist Tim White. Some 200 people attended the opening; I grew my network of fellow artists, including exhibitors Chris Selleck, Elizabeth LaPensee, and Jonathan Thunder; and I added connections on my 2 social media feeds (Twitter and Facebook). The exhibit garnered at least 5 media mentions. In print, the Duluth Reader ran a photo and article, with estimated readership of 40,000; and the DNT with its daily circulation of 22,300 mentioned it in ""Best Bets"". In broadcast, my interview on KUMD's Radio Gallery reached 2,000 listeners, and is available to the 13,000 monthly home page visitors; while Fox 21 TV news interviewed Annie Dugan about the show. Online, Perfect Duluth Day ran an article by Dr. David Beard. The grant allowed me 114 hours of art-making time to pursue my vision.

The essays explore my own growth as a soldier and writer and try to come to terms with some of the horrors I witnessed in that locale, as well as their subsequent impact on my outlook as a critic.

The second, proposed essay is also a follow-up piece, in this case to an essay called ""Rights of Return,"" which is currently under review at literary journals. This second, proposed essay will explore how the Palestinian refugee camp in Bethlehem, where I previously lived, has changed in the fifteen years since I left. The piece will also explore how the refugees perceive the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and will articulate what hopes, if any, they have for the future.

I want to expose my writing, and myself as a writer, to the scrutiny of a much-admired and accomplished literary writer, gaining fresh perspectives and new skills to accelerate the completion of my novel, The Order of Love. 2) Manuscript. I will finish this novel begun several years ago, giving voice to the main character who has lived with me, polishing the manuscript to be ready for publication. To accomplish this, I’ll participate in a week-long Mentorship in Fiction Writing with Faith Sullivan. Then, I’ll use the ten hours per week devoted to my personal writing to focus on this novel, which is about 60% complete. 3) Gratitude. I’ll present my work in a public reading to an audience of regional fiction writers, inviting them to present their work as well, to celebrate and recognize this literary community as we consider how to contribute our voices and our energy. Participation in the mentorship with Ms. Sullivan, and in group discussions with classmates, will help me evaluate the qualities present and missing in my fiction writing. By the end of that intensive week, I will be able to articulate a clear blueprint to finish my novel. I’ll evaluate my writing progress regularly from September 2016 to June 2017 to stay on track to complete the manuscript by the end of June 2017. In January 2017, I’ll begin planning the public reading with and for my fiction-writing peers, and will evaluate the success of that event based in part on feedback from participants. This grant is a catalyst in my evolution from childhood storytelling to my young and middle adulthood crafting nonfiction, to my second adulthood as a fiction writer. Recognizing that the path to publication requires more than merely producing pages, I’m confident that the plan outlined here will result in a polished manuscript, a necessary and valuable step in my literary career.","1.

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

This objective will be successfully met when the instruments are complete and on display. Additionally, I have two secondary goals that supplement and result from my primary goal: 1) improve craftsmanship as a builder; 2) develop a reputation as a local banjo maker. An improvement in my craftsmanship will be measured by successfully incorporating inlay and decorative wood techniques that I have not previously attempted that will improve the overall aesthetic and tone of the banjos. The foundations of a local reputation commence as I interact with area banjo players who happen to see and play the instruments created in this project. I will have two completed banjos for sale and on display in Duluth no later than September 30, 2016. I have built previous banjos in one month. With improved access to supplies and more efficient tools, construction of two banjos in three months is reasonable. To ensure timeliness of completion, I have established the following benchmarks corresponding with the building process: 1) Necks and fingerboard completed by August 1. 2) Pots completed by August 15. 3) Finishing and hardware installation completed by September 1. 4) Banjos setup, tuned and delivered by September 15. Quantification of improved craftsmanship will begin with a review of project notes, recordings and photos of my previous banjos. I will be focusing especially on improving my skills in decorative wood and inlay techniques. Peghead and fingerboard inlay work will occur in the first phase to allow time to rebuild or improve inlay and decorative work. Once these two methods are successful and incorporated into the completed banjos, I will consider my skills improved and the goal met. A local reputation takes years of collaboration to develop. To evaluate the progress towards this goal I have established long and short-term measures. A short-term measure will be communication with at least one area banjo player who has seen and played my project instruments within the first month of display I hope to achieve my long-term outcome of collaborating with and building a banjo for at least one local musician within one year.","Completed two banjos incorporating decorative wood and inlay techniques.",,1140,"Other, local or private",3000,,,0.00,"Ben Cogger",Individual,"Career Development Grant ",,"Made in Duluth banjos.

The first targeted area is around the East Creek Chain of Lakes in the City of Chaska, the second is located around Benton Lake in the City of Cologne, and the third within the City of Waconia protecting Lake Waconia, the third largest lake in the Twin Cities metro area and a regionally significant resource. Our goal for these funds is the installation of 6 to 8 projects that aim to reduce the amount of impervious surfaces or provide treatment for previously untreated areas through the use of Low Impact Development Best Management Practices.

At the heart of these reports is a suite of quantifiable performance measures.MDA's Clean Water Research Program is reporting on performance measure OPM12: Percent of research projects meeting research efficiency goals.This performance measure was developed using guidelines from the National Academies of Sciences 2008 report Evaluating Research Efficiency in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Each individual research project has specific deliverables.According to the National Academies' framework projects are evaluated according to two main criteria:1) Investment efficiency: is the agency making investments in the right projects? Investment efficiency is best evaluated by an independent, expert review panel that uses predominantly qualitative metrics to evaluate the program. The charge of the review panel is to determine if the research supported is relevant, of the highest quality, effective and efficient.Relevance is a measure of how well research supports the mission or purpose of the Clean Water Fund, which is to protect, enhance and restore lakes, rivers, streams, groundwater and drinking water in Minnesota.Quality refers to how research contributes to our understanding and knowledge of water resources in Minnesota. The review panel will evaluate the soundness, accuracy, novelty and reproducibility of the research projects.Effectiveness refers to the usability of research results by various stakeholders such as TMDL and other technical field staff, conservation professionals, and policy-makers.Efficiency refers to the ability to achieve quality, relevance, and effectiveness while minimizing resources devoted to the project in terms of time and money The review panel can also identify emerging issues and determine their place in research priorities. 2) Process efficiency: are the research investments being managed well?Process efficiency uses quantitative measures to track dollars and hours devoted to a project. Process efficiency refers to inputs, outputs, and intermediate outcomes of a research project and overall program.Inputs include agency resources such as funding, facilities, and staff that support research.Outputs are products delivered by a research project such as conclusions, reports, published papers, monitoring data and new techniques developed.Intermediate outcomes provide the review panel tangible metrics of evaluation. Examples of intermediate outcomes may include an improved body of knowledge available for decision-making, and newly developed tools and models. Tracking Outreach and EducationNumber of outreach activities (presentations, workshops, field days, and other events)Number of educational events (presentations or outreach to K-12 students or teachers, undergraduate science classes, non-science majors, grad students, etc)Number of peer-reviewed publications ",,,,,949783,9769,,"1 ","Funding is awarded to projects selected by the evaluation committee.

Clear Lake is identified as a priority lake within the Rice Creek Watershed District's (RCWD) Watershed Management Plan and does not meet the nutrient goals established by the RCWD. Mid-summer algae blooms are common and occasionally severe enough to impact recreation. This project will significantly reduce the stormwater phosphorus load coming from the City's central business district and the State Highway 61 corridor to Clear Lake, decreasing the frequency and magnitude of algae blooms. The subwatershed surrounding this area does not currently receive treatment and was identified as a phosphorous loading hot spot in recent studies including the Clear Lake Diagnostic Study and Management Plan. This project is timely because it coincides with the major redevelopment of land owned and operated by the City of Forest Lake. Construction of the City of Forest Lake Public Safety and City Hall site work is planned for the spring of 2014. The Clear Lake Water Quality Treatment Project will treat stormwater above and beyond what is required by the RCWD rules. By constructing them in concert, this water quality project will be exceedingly efficient in terms of cost per unit of phosphorous removed. The Clear Lake Water Quality Treatment Project will remove 38 to 83 pounds annually or 27%-60% of the 140 pound total phosphorous reduction goal for Clear Lake.

Improve the existing diversity percentage of the Internship Program student interns by 5% to 45% in FY16. The Diversity rate for FY15 was 40%. This was a decrease from FY14, however, our rate increased because of the We Are Hmong exhibit, placing a large group of interns to assist us with this project. This percent does not include the returning interns. In FY16 we have a 34% diversity rate however, we expect this to grow over the summer semester. We hope to reach a 40% diversity rate. These figures do not include returning students. Of those interns who returned to do multiple internships, the diversity rate of returning students was 57%. This tells us that interns from diverse communities are doing multiple internships that increase their skill level and make them more marketable in the workplace. 2. Have over 90% of interns state that the internship met their expectations, in a post survey conducted at the end of their internship. We have changed our survey tool in the past year. Instead of measuring intern expectations, we are using a Net Promoter Score. This adapts to our new evaluation system. We have an average Net Promoter Score of +54 for FY16; which we are very happy with. For FY16, 97.5% of interns surveyed said their internship increased their knowledge of current issues in the public history field. 95% said their internship increased their interest in working in a cultural institution. 86% said they would apply for a job at MNHS. The number of interns who rated their job skills as above average or higher increased from 35.5% at the beginning of their internship to 86.5% at the end of their internship. 93% of interns said their experience increased their interest in history.

The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations have been receptive to partnering with the watershed district. Commercial and school property owners, however, are often harder to access, and can also be harder to motivate into partnerships that result in implementation of stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMPs). This grant will assist the District in identifying and assessing commercial retail centers and strip malls in high priority drainage areas for retrofit opportunities that will assist the District in meeting stormwater volume and nutrient reduction goals. This project will not only identify promising sites for retrofit BMPs on commercial sites with large impervious areas, but involve a series of conversations with commercial property owners about the potential for partnering on project implementation, now and in the future. An important part of this project involves interaction with commercial property owners to introduce the District and its goals, determine their willingness to partner with the District, identify barriers to installation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs, identify ways to reduce or eliminate barriers, and to generally lay the groundwork for the District to effectively work with commercial property owners into the future.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/commercial-site-assessment-bmp-retrofit,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO

Attendance will be evaluated through tickets sales reports and data gathered from tickets scanning as attendees enter the theater from our PatronManager ticketing system. Post show artist surveys will be sent to participating artists to gather feedback about their experience.","We achieved our artistic goals of engaging, entertaining, and educating our community through this project. A strength AND challenge of our artistic process is having 10 different artists directing 10 different plays - each with different actors. This results in a variety of artistic visions for each play, each unique and engaging for the audiences, and each resulting in different learning experiences for the artists. The challenge in this process is coordinating all the different artists and volunteer actors through the rehearsal process, and ""tech week"" as each production worked through different sound, lighting and other tech needs. The end result was a highly successful festival with performances filled to 91% of capacity. Attendees were engaged, as shown by their response in voting for their favorite play: 791 voted (62%) for a fun show called ""Gram Scams"" which looked at perceptions and misconceptions between generations. Of the playwrights with plays selected for performance, nine were from across the United States from Maine to California, and one was from the Twin Cities metro community of Little Canada. The Festival included comedies and dramas with diverse topics from aging to speed dating to theater ghosts to a murder mystery spoof. We feel this activity was a tremendous success and we would not do anything differently for future festivals. We successfully reached our intended community of audience, volunteer actors and directors. Actors of all ages, abilities, and levels of experience were invited to audition, with a total of 52 actors coming out to try out to be in a play. Actors ranged in age from 17 to 70, with 14 men and 13 women cast in 27 roles. Most of the actors were Caucasian, with two Latino, and one African American. At least one of the artists self-identifies as gay. One of our directors, who is legally blind, was driven to and from the theater with his service dog. Of the 1278 attendees, 84 (7%) attended with a half-price or pay-what-you-can ticket, and 147 (12%) attended free of charge. There was no fee for actors to participate in the Festival. We exceeded our attendance goal of 75% of capacity, with the Festival filled to 91% capacity. The number of actors was 27 (8 fewer than anticipated), a result of plays selected for performance having fewer roles than in past years.

We plan to present a series of programs, several featuring collaborations with musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra, featuring accessible classical music that will please and enlighten our audiences and challenge our musicians at least 50% of the time. To evaluate the community involvement the audience count is taken at each performance. Members of the orchestra will fill out a survey at the end of the season, which gives the board members feedback regarding the amount members were challenged, as well as feedback for improvement for the next season.","We had an excellent season. As we experienced last year, the artistic quality of the group has increased. With that, we are able to learn and perform more artistically rewarding music. Due to the location of our first large concert of the season, we experienced a lower than expected attendance. To avoid this issue in future seasons, we are exploring new alternative concert venues within the Linden Hills area. Our concert in April was the highlight of the season. Our performance of Pines of Rome was an amazing experience for audience and orchestra alike. The orchestra was inspired by Eugena Chang's fierce performance of Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations. We noticed a varied spectrum of audience members at our performances. Unfortunately our first large concert had a much lower attendance than anticipated. We will focus our concert venues closer to and within the Linden Hills neighborhood in the future to avoid the lower turnout. Some of our regular attendees could potentially not attend due to location. Yet again this year, Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra was fortunate enough to gain several new musicians in our strings, woodwinds, and brass sections. Just as our current member base reflects a broad cross-section of individuals, our new players also represent a wide range of ages, races, and backgrounds. We are hoping to continue our diversification of the group with more recruitment done online, in person at concerts, and networking via our current members in the hopes of further cementing our place within the community, as well as making our orchestra even stronger. The Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra was able to provide another excellent year of accessible classical music to over 500 people in our community via four formal performances and one community outreach concert.",,7504,"Other, local or private",12500,,"Elise Steffel, Emilie Rexeisen, Mark Bradby, Monica Brewster",0.00,"Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for three distinct symphony orchestra programs, open to the public free of charge, designed to bring artistically challenging and appealing music to a diverse audience.

Instructors will develop new lesson plans, learn repertoire, new ideas for teaching choreography, stage presence and increased knowledge of the history of dances that can be used in teaching regular classes over the next two years. We will evaluate our outcomes by audience/participant ","Artistic Goals: The project was very successful. Zadoc Fuentes Marin, of Instituto MIZOC of Mexico City, led a robust 8 day week intensive workshop which included choreography for over 30 dances for the various groups, innovative teaching techniques and historical context for all. A full day was dedicated to having each participant create head pieces connected to one of the dances each participant learned. His enthusiasm and energy was 100 percent contagious and the participants were engaged and determined from the first class to the last. The instruction took place in the dance studio at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church as well as a local school gymnasium for the additional open space to make headpieces and to practice the larger group dances. In addition to the daily workshop classes, the visiting artist will work with lead Los Alegres Bailadores dance instructors to develop extended lesson plans for future classes of folkloric material not yet known widely by instructors currently in Minnesota. Challenges: We could have used a second day for making headpieces. These projects required more space and time than one day would all allow. Transportation to and from morning and early afternoon classes were a challenge for families. Ride sharing was required. Strengths: Networking and camaraderie was plentiful during this project. Having the large practice space donated was wonderful. Community Participants: St Paul’s West Side has a large population of first, second and third generation Mexican Americans who have a strong desire to keep their Mexican Culture alive. A majority of the Workshop participates live, have lived or have family on the West Side and Los Alegres Bailadores is based on St Paul’s West Side so locating the Summer Workshop in the same location that Los Alegres Bailadores offers regular classes throughout the year ensures that a large number of regular Los Alegres Bailadores students can participate. The project also attracted individuals from other areas: Oakdale, Minneapolis, Eagan, Cottage Grove, Rosemount and Hugo to name a few. Out of the 75 participants, 15 had never taken a folkloric dance workshop before. The majority of the workshop’s participants are of Mexican descent, but not all. We had several participants purely interested in the cultural sharing that was provided by this unique workshop. We exceeded our anticipated participation numbers by 36% for a total of 75 participants. 15 of these participants had never taken a folkloric dance workshop before.

We will use participant counts and a survey to measure our success.","We were very satisfied with the results of our efforts. We had more demand at the middle and high school levels, so altered our numbers a bit, serving 28 elementary age youth and 82 middle and high school students. Our primary goal of providing access to the performing arts for youth is well served by these workshop models that provide both education and training in theater, but also a chance to perform on the Loft Stage in a true audience-attended performance. Most models provide workshops and perhaps workshop demo performances at the end. Or they just provide a show that youth can perform in. But our model combines the benefit of both, with true theater arts training plus a full show on a live stage, with lights and sound and a great audience to clap along. Youth really want to be part of a ""true performance"" and we're thrilled to be able to provide that. The model also works by aligning with time we already have booked on the Loft Stage. We can maximize the cost effectiveness of our time on the stage, but this time did book our own tech which was very helpful. Otherwise, it does stress out our Woodbury Community Theatre partners with whom we're sharing the stage. We will continue to hire our own tech to make sure the shows we offer to our workshop participants can function independently. We did lower our elementary student count from 40 to 28, and increased our middle and high school count to 82. Our surveys revealed that 1-3 day workshops in the summer are less popular than full-week activities, because parents are looking for more all-day opportunities where they can drop off their child, go to work, and pick them up at the end of the day. We will look to update our model accordingly. We still do not attract many youth of color. We do have a bigger cross section demographically, and did award a couple of scholarships to kids, but we do need to engage in more relevant outreach in order to understand the interests and needs of youth of color to participate, and how we can better engage a broader cross section for our community. 110 youth ages 8-16 were able to receive quality performing arts instruction and performance opportunities. 8 college students were able to learn and practice leadership skills in serving youth through our workshops.

It is planned that the final project will be displayed in the community with the intent of informing others through demonstration, the abilities and gifts that intellectually disabled individuals bring to our community. We will measure the participation rate of enrolled consumers and gather ongoing feedback on the activity by those participating. We will gather post-completion feedback from consumers, staff, guardians, and others participation in the creation of the art and/or observing the final products.","The artistic goal of a combined metal sculpture was achieved; a detailed 3D community model was made by the participants. About 60 individuals participated in the creation of the final project. Our consumers expressed excitement while participating. The project helps them focus, which in turn helps them create a final project. The final project impacts the behavior of the participants, and they show pride in their accomplishments, with smiles and pointing out the part that they contributed to. Families are impressed with the abilities shown by individual consumers. 58 adults created some portion of the 3D community model. They spent time in a 4-week set of workshops. During that time small groups explored the community creating the clay molds by taking imprints of various landmarks, such as a PO Box in the post office and bricks and art work of the buildings. These imprints supplied the 3D community model with actual textural images. The clay molds provided the artist to complete the sand carving before the metal pour and painting of 3D community model. The artist did the final welding assembly with the completed project being unveiled on July 24th at Lake Streets Open Street day. A new goal for 2016 was to build community through the cast metal sculpture process. The community chosen was the one block surrounding Metro Work Center, Inc. We believed that having businesses participate with our consumers it would be a beneficial exposure for both. Several business actively participated by sharing the business mascot or giving a brief history of the company. The project started on schedule and was primarily completed in a timely manner. The process to have the 3D community model put on display at the Lake Street library is currently on hold due to one of the artist breaking her leg and having complications. Being this injury took place after the final project was complete it did not impact the value of the arts experience for our consumers. Fortunately, the library is flexible and understanding helping us avoid a challenge. Having continuity of artist from the previous year gives our consumers a sense of safety and recognition and makes many of them more secure in participating in the process. Sara Hanson, the artist, continued her supportive work with the consumers, using her talents in metal sculpture to help consumers create an excellent 3D community model. Since we believe that the project was very successful, we would use the same process for a similar project, but create a different combined final artwork. We believe this continuity over three projects is a great strength of the program in helping our consumers to be involved in a process and be successful with a product. Metro Work Center successfully reached the community we planned to serve. Metro Work Center is a Day Training and Habilitation Center for adults win intellectual disabilities and related conditions. Our primary goal for this project was to provide experiences to this population that might not otherwise have the opportunity to access such sophisticated art projects. Our consumer vary widely in age (21-75), motor skills, and functioning levels. While some of our consumers work independently, other need had-over-hand assistance. A great deal of ""show and tell"" experience is involved rather than communication through language only. The artist and the Metro Work Center staff worked with each individual to help determine the scope of their ability to work with the sculpture. The poured metal art project was also a new experience for the surrounding community business who participated in the in strengthening of relationships and expressed a greater appreciation of the community of people with disabilities while collecting imprints for the project. Several businesses participated by sharing the business mascot or giving a brief history of the company with the consumers. Building this relationship lead to gaining textile pieces to be incorporated into the file project. The businesses were then invited to the unveiling of the 3D community model at Lake Streets Open streets event. Opening up this unique art experience to the community was a successful effort. Business owners/employees gave positive feedback of the experience. The artists also had the opportunity to show off and explain to the community the completed 3D community model and the process. Our Center, programming space, and surrounding community is accessible. The sculpture will be on display at the Lake Street library (as soon as the artist's injury is healed). The library is also an accessible space for our consumers and the public. 58 adults participated in assembling the clay molds for the 3D community model. The adult consumers plus the local business participated in contributing to the molds. Due to the influx of new consumers 15% of the adults and all of the business experienced this art form for the first time.",,1950,"Other, local or private",6950,,"Rhoda Becklund, Elizabeth Burmeister, Shirley Cavallaro, Ben Coauette, Angela Henderson, John Maciejny, Boyd Malo",0.00,"Metro Work Center, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for a metal sculpture project for adults with severe to moderate intellectual disabilities.

We did this by programming music that was familiar (Tchaikovsky's Italian Capriccio) and music that had not been heard in this area before (Guilmant's Organ Symphony No. 2 and Nazaykinskaya's Trombone Concerto). We reached out to the community by promoting this concert in local schools, through social media, and through our host venue, Saint Andrew's Lutheran Church, as well as care facilities in the area. This resulted in increased attendance (450 people vs. 420 the year before), many of whom had not seen us perform before. One long time audience member commented afterwards that this was one of the strongest performances he had heard of ours. People were particularly delighted with the new trombone concerto, and the pre-performance talk given by the composer, Polina Nazaykinskaya. What worked was the additional outreach and the participation of the composer. The venue was also excellent. Saint Andrew's is a wonderful performance space, with one of the best organs in the area, which really helped the Guilmant piece. Since we had some success reaching out to care facilities, in the future, we would do even more outreach to similar organizations in that area, as well as increasing the number of schools we contact. We did reach the communities we set out to serve. Our musicians really enjoyed practicing and performing the pieces we played, and greatly appreciated having the opportunity to work on new music. Our audience also appreciated the connections between the new and old music, and the opportunity to hear from composer Nazaykinskaya about how she came to write her piece, and what it means to her. Our outreach to local care facilities and schools resulted in greater diversity in ages who attended, and our outreach to communities associated with our host venue, such as their homeless shelter, led to attendance by some who were seeing their first orchestral concert. We were delighted at how well our outreach resulted in more diverse audiences. Also, the selection of music, including a trombone concerto and an organ symphony, led to our reaching audience members associated with those instruments who had not heard us perform before. By not charging admission, we removed that economic barrier. By helping to arrange transportation from the care facilities, we removed that barrier. By working with the host venue and their partners, we were able to convince people to attend who might otherwise have been intimidated by a classical music performance. The main quantitative outcome was that 450 audience members got to hear this great music, and the 80 musicians of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra got to rehearse and perform this music, two pieces of which were played locally for the first time, so it was new music.

After each lending event cycle, we send out a 15 question survey asking patrons about their experience and how they learned about our program. We also ask questions regarding patrons' demographic.","In our proposal, we outlined three artistic goals: to provide exposure for artists, to share the joy of art with members of our community, to build ongoing support of the arts in our community in the Twin Cities. During the course of this grant period, all of these goals were met to varying degrees. In our search to create more ways to support artists, we developed and implemented a paid artist fellowship program; an opportunity for artists to develop a participatory program that engages the library patrons at the lending event. At Public Functionary artist fellow, Teresa Audet discussed the process of working with the Japanese papermaking fiber kozo, as well as the history and traditional methods of the material. And at the American Craft Council, artist fellow, Carolina Borja displayed, Better a bird in the hand than two in the bush—a Mexican craft- papier mache piñata installation that incorporated sound and audience participation. Both artists were available to meet and discuss their work with the library patrons at the event. Patrons have enjoyed this opportunity to learn more about an artist’s work and artists appreciate this paid opportunity. Additionally, Minneapolis Art Lending Library provides exposure for artists by continuing to feature on our social media sites, and various forms of publicity (blogs and newspaper). We were able to share the joy of art with our community quite successfully. Our attendance has remained steady with new and returning library patrons. The community has shown their support by attending events, borrowing artwork, and spreading the word to their friends, family, and networks. During the two lending events from the grant period, we had approximately 125 people attend, over 100 artworks checked out, and 40 new borrowers. We have built up a strong support network in the community; both Public Functionary and the American Craft Council donated their space for our lending events. The project did reach new communities of both borrowers and artists. Each lending event we see many new borrowers, though we have not been as successful in diversifying our audience as we had hoped. Previously, we held our lending events at one location; at the American Swedish Institute. This year we decided to hold our events at different locations by partnering with organizations that already have well-established and diverse audiences. However, we realized we saw more diversity and higher attendance rates when holding lending events at spaces that aren’t affiliated with art, like community and recreation centers. Also, Public Functionary is not fully ADA compliant and a few of our regular and new patrons said they had issues locating the space and finding parking. We anticipated that this would be the case with the American Craft Council, so we bought a sign which many patrons thought was helpful. Moving forward we will target spaces that are more community oriented, fully ADA compliant, have ample parking, and are well marked. Our outcome goals are tied to the three facets of our mission. We raised our collection size to 110 artworks by 50 artists. During the two lending events, 125 attended our lending events, we lent out 100 artworks, and registered 40 new patrons. In July, 15 artists submitted 60 artworks confirming that artists are increasingly interested in our program and want to participate.",,1405,"Other, local or private",6405,,"Leslie Barlow, Danielle Butenhoff, Larsen Husby, Dianne Kramer, Robert Nicholl, Nicole Soukup, Thomas Wegner, Nathan Young, Patricia Bronstein, Heidi Vardeman, Mary Beth Kehrwald",0.00,"Minneapolis Art Lending Library","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the Minneapolis Art Lending Library, a program that allows patrons to browse a collection of artworks and select one to borrow for three months, to display and enjoy in their homes.

We presented artists who have won international awards and artists who are just starting their performing careers. We presented male and female artists from Minnesota, New Orleans, Hawaii, Brazil, and Thailand. One of the most enthusiastic and well received local performances was offered by a student classical guitar quartet from MacPhail - we will continue to include student groups in the future. One of the concerts had to be rescheduled because of snow - the artist came on a Tuesday and as a result had a smaller audience. We reached our community of people who love the guitar - we also reached more people who enjoy classical music as a result of targeted publicity via Facebook ads to people who ""like"" Minnesota public radio and classical music. The student group that played in June brought in more children to come hear their friends. The students from McNally Smith College of music and from the University of Minnesota came to more of our events this year - the guitar faculty are making an effort to encourage their students to come to our concerts and that is having a noticeable effect. We are continuing to use microphones when performers are speaking so that all audience members can hear what they are saying. The venue is physically accessible as well as on a bus line. Program notes continue to be used to offer some insight into the music being played. We offered a survey this year at two concerts and online - more than 125 surveys were completed - we are still compiling the data - it looks like everyone who completed the survey thinks we are offering a valuable service to the community - it also looks like there is interest in offering more non-classical guitar concerts in the future. We noticed that we had more new audience members attending every concert this year - people outside our 200 member list - who heard about our concerts through our publicity, Facebook or friends.

We will accomplish this goal by presenting concerts, artist workshops, a national keynote speaker, networking opportunities and one-on-one mentoring sessions with industry professionals as part of a 3-day festival and conference. Following the trend of the last couple years, we expect that attendance will continue to grow--hopefully to 1,000 attendees. Last year everyone who responded to our survey, said they thought the workshops were of good"" or ""high quality."" We hope to have similarly great feedback on this year's programs. The Minnesota Music Summit was conceived and designed as a result of our first Caravan du Nord, in response to evaluation, feedback and successes of that endeavor. As we enter our fifth year of the Minnesota Music Summit, we continue to build on the program based on artist and participant feedback. The Minnesota Music Coalition will continue to evaluate the success of this project both qualitatively and quantitatively. We will track attendance through online registrations and door sales and through email sign-ins at the free events. The Amsterdam staff track total number of concert attendees that come through the door. We will provide written surveys to participating artists after the Summit is over, a method that has worked well in the past. We will also measure the quality of the event through comments on our social media as well as through informal conversations and post-event meetings with Minnesota Music Coalition staff, Board and partnering organizations.""","The 5th annual Minnesota Music Summit achieved all of its artistic goals, bringing in over 1,000 artists, fans and music industry professionals from across the Upper Midwest. The only local event of its kind, the conference provided access to artists, agents, labels and media that are working at a national and international level. It included performances, workshops, mentoring sessions, industry panels, networking opportunities and a dynamic keynote address from rocker, producer and artist advocate David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven). Deepening our partnership with the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Film Festival, we not only presented some joint workshops and screened the film festival's top music videos of the last year, but we also hosted a music/film networking event and debuted a screening of a documentary about legendary Minnesota jam band The Big Wu followed by a packed reunion performance at the Amsterdam Hall. This partnership was extremely successful for all parties. In addition to this and our ongoing partnerships with 89.3 The Current, McNally Smith, Summit Brewing, Amsterdam Hall, KFAI Radio, the Minnesota Justice Foundation and American Composers Forum, we also worked with The Garage/Twin Cities Catalyst to present a young performers panel about booking and playing in all ages clubs and with The Recording Academy's Chicago Chapter to present a party ahead of the Friday show. The workshops, panels, speed mentoring sessions and legal clinic had terrific content, and the concerts were eclectic and of high quality, featuring Toki Wright (hip hop), Ashley DuBose (R and B) and Katy Vernon (acoustic pop) on Friday and The Big Wu (roots/rock) and Dean Magraw (guitar legend) on Saturday. We also presented the 2nd annual Minnesota Music Champion Award to St Paul Mayor Chris Coleman as part of our kickoff party at Summit Brewing. All events ran smoothly and most were packed. The only thing we might do differently is book a bigger headliner for the Friday show or have a shorter event as attendance petered out by the last set. Also, we might charge more for the conference as it grows in scope and quality. The Minnesota Music Summit brought together different genres of music (hip hop, folk, rock, R and B) for live performances and workshops with a variety of industry professionals from rural and urban areas across the Midwest. Although the artists and workshop leaders represented a wide range of backgrounds and musical disciplines, we could still work on diversifying more of the concert audience. We were proud that each event that was part of this year’s Summit—the social hour, workshops, mentoring sessions, parties and concerts—included artists and music fans of all genres and ages, ranging from high school and college students to mid-career musicians to older veteran artists. This is due in large part to our partnership with all-ages venue The Garage who co-presented a young performers panel. We also did more intentional outreach to McNally's staff and students, which really paid off. All of the venues for the Minnesota Music Summit were accessible via public transit and were ADA compliant. The Minnesota Music Summit is open to everyone and general admission costs a fraction of what other equivalent industry conferences cost. There was no cost for the workshops or most of the networking events. We also videotaped the keynote and most of the workshop panels so we can make available to those who were not able to attend. 1) We brought in over 1,000 artists, fans and music industry professionals from all over the region. 2) We got incredible feedback with one musician telling us it was the best music conference he had ever been to--a far better value than the ASCAP Expo in Los Angeles. 3) Almost all commented on the quality of the workshops and the keynote speaker, who made himself accessible to all participants.",,15900,"Other, local or private",20900,,"Tony Mendoza, Chuck Hermes, Beth Burns, Dan DeVoe, Mark Gehring, Ashley Hanson, John Munson, Jessica Paxton, Mark Stutrud, Brian Turner, Paul Boblett",0.00,"Minnesota Music Coalition","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 5th annual Minnesota Music Summit, a music festival and conference for musicians, fans and those working in the industry featuring workshops, mentoring sessions, a national keynote speaker and concerts showcasing top artists and emerging b",2015-12-16,2016-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ellen,Stanley,"Minnesota Music Coalition","75 5th St W Ste 402","St Paul",MN,55102,"(651) 347-1662 ",ellen@mnmusiccoalition.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-703,"Erin Wisness: Fundraising, organizational development, Community Education; Kevin Vollmers: Fundraising, audience development, organizational development; Amelia Foster: Audience development, community service, general management; Dana Kassel: General management, artistic, audience development; Ann Erickson: Audience development, fundraising, organizational development; Peter Thompson: Artistic, general management, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

We also strive for the orchestra members and guest soloists to feel challenged musically and uplifted by both the music and audience participation. We will ask the audience members to provide feedback on a brief survey to measure attendance and to gauge their reaction to the musical selections and performance by orchestra members and soloists. The board members will circulate during intermission and post-concert to gather verbal feedback from both audience and musicians as well.","Our artistic goals were to provide the Mississippi Valley Orchestra, its collaborating artists, and audience members with a satisfying and musically challenging performance opportunity and to give the featured Saint Paul Piano Teachers Association concerto contest winner, Nita Qiu, the valuable experience of performing with a live orchestra; we feel that both goals were not only met, but exceeded. Ms. Qiu was the youngest contest winner that has ever performed with the Mississippi Valley Orchestra at 13 years old, and the music she performed was very challenging both for her and for the orchestra. Mr. Straka’s patient guidance and the musical insight of Maestro Smith and Ms. Qiu's teacher, Dr. Zins, helped both orchestra and soloist to deliver a moving and rewarding performance. Musicians and audience members alike expressed their praise verbally and in the survey responses. 93% of survey respondents said they were very satisfied with the performance, with comments such as “Have heard the orchestra before and enjoyed it tremendously” and “I love their music - sweet, beautiful, nostalgic. Thank you so much.” Other responses were “Wonderful concert!” “Love the Mississippi Valley Orchestra!” and “First rate!” Many of the challenges we encountered throughout this project had to do with the amount of time the orchestra had to rehearse with the soloists and the limitations of the rehearsal and performance venues. There were unforeseen scheduling challenges with the school district that caused the orchestra to alternate between different rehearsal venues each week. Neither location had a piano available, which meant that the first rehearsal the orchestra had with Ms. Qiu was the week of the concert. That is a very limited amount of time for the orchestra and soloist to get to know the music and become comfortable with the nuances of performing in collaboration with one another. The other challenge was that the rehearsal spaces were acoustically opposite of the church in which the orchestra performed. The orchestra could only rehearse so much with vocalist Maria Jette in the rehearsal spaces, because once they started rehearsing in the church everything had to be re-evaluated and adjusted for balance concerns. One survey respondent stated “Could not hear the soprano during much of her performance. Needs more space between her and the orchestra, which is not available in this setting and I lost interest. Pianist was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the program.” Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would try to schedule at least one more rehearsal in the church in order to work through balance and spatial concerns such as those that the respondent noted. We would also look into alternative rehearsal spaces that are more acoustically similar to the church so the orchestra can have more time to adjust to the performance acoustics. Additionally, we would make an effort to have the orchestra rehearse in a space that has a piano so that they and the competition winner can have more time to put the music together. More than 300 people attended the concert, ranging from local community and church members, to devoted patrons from all across the Twin Cities metro area, to friends and family from out of town that drove as much as 3 or 4 hours to attend this concert. The musicians felt a strong sense of pride and achievement in their performance that was reinforced by the positive response of the audience members noted in the evaluation above. The survey results indicated that 48% of our audience ranged from 18 - 65 years of age, and 52% were 65 years or older. Both West St. Paul and Columbia Heights have a rapidly growing population of senior citizens, low-income families, and those with physical disabilities, so these results are not atypical. The central location of First Lutheran church in the community of Columbia Heights presented an opportunity for many patrons to attend who may not otherwise be able to hear an orchestra of the caliber of the Mississippi Valley Orchestra; in fact, 32% of the survey respondents indicated that the location of the concert was one of the reasons that they came. One person wrote in the survey comments “I greatly appreciate being able to experience such a wonderful performance so close to my home in New Brighton.” Another 32% said that they came because it was free of charge, and 11% specifically stated that the ADA-compliant, easy access venue was what attracted them. Survey results also showed that many of our audience members are repeat attendees, which points to the success of our outreach and the strength of the community that we’ve built over the last 40 years. Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would continue marketing towards our current audience members, but we would also strive to reach the younger generations and minority populations to build relationships that will sustain both the community and the Mississippi Valley Orchestra for years to come. We would do this by programming pieces that appeal to a more diverse audience base, such as our local Hispanic, Hmong, and Somali communities. We would also program music with younger children in mind, possibly incorporating props or costumes, dancers, or actors to add a visual aspect to the performance. We would develop our marketing strategy further to increase our social media presence to reach and appeal to the technology generation. We would also reach out to music educators in the local school systems for help in promoting the concert; this would be mutually beneficial, as it would both strengthen the Mississippi Valley Orchestra community and increase audience attendance and expand their students' musical knowledge and experiences.

Also, we would like to screen 16 films for the event. In order to evaluate our project we will do an audience count and a count of the films submitted. We will also solicit feedback from the audience and artists through email surveys after the event.","“The culture that Film Score Fest fostered gave me as a beginner composer the confidence to attempt composing a film score for an 18-piece orchestra, something that I had never considered doing. It was the perfect balance of creative challenge vs a safe environment in which to share my work.” –Jonathan Koh, composer. Our artistic goals were to: 1) foster individual artistic development in the participating artists, 2) create a community of artistic collaborators, and 3) host an artistically engaging and exceptional event for the audience. Our kickoff event included a filmmaking workshop, led by Missy Whiteman, Sundance fellowship awardee, and a composing workshop, led by Adam Conrad, film composer and conductor of the Improvestra improvising orchestra, which inspired and guide creators. It was also a successful way to sign-up participants, of the 25 that attended, 18 people signed-up to participate. While our kickoff workshop was well attended, there was less networking than in the past because the event was in a classroom setting. In the future, we’d like to host the workshop somewhere that has informal atmosphere to promote more networking. Additionally, next year we’d like to film the workshop component and make available online for those who cannot attend the event. Despite this setback, there were many successful partnerships between filmmakers and composers during Film Score Fest 2016. For example, a pair that met at our kickoff resulted in a film with harmonious music and visuals. The composer said that being able to do things like be on set during the filming helped him strike the right mood when creating the music for the film. In order to foster artistic development, we drew on our partnership with Saint Paul Neighborhood Network to offer a free storytelling and cell phone-video classes, and affordable camera and editing classes. This year we asked participants to volunteer to mentor other artists. This was a successful idea, and we’d like to further promote it next year. Aida Alkadi, a novice filmmaker told us she was able to finish her film in time because her mentor gave her the guidance, encouragement, and the accountability she needed. Last year, we were at capacity, so we moved to the Science Museum of Minnesota for more seating, and as expected we had a near full house with 260 attendees. The 18 original films that premiered that night were well received. In our audience surveys, community members highly rated the event. Yet, a critique we struggle to address is making the festival accessible to artists of all skill levels, while making the event engaging. This year, we had a film selection panel who curated the event. This resulted in a more engaging event with films of different styles and genres, but we’d like to get more film submissions, which result in a richer diversity of films. Next year, we’d like to have our kickoff event earlier in the year, so we have an extra month promote our event. Every year we seek to engage artists from different skill levels, income levels, who bring us films with diverse of styles and genres. Because our event is free to enter and films are based on artistic merit and not skill level, we succeeded at doing this. We also offered a good deal of support to our participating artists, including filmmaking and composing workshops at our kickoff event, free and discounted filmmaking classes through our partner Saint. Paul Neighborhood Network, and offering peer mentorship. Next year, we’d like our event to be more inclusive of artists and audience members from diverse cultural backgrounds. This year we saw an increase of non-white audience members because we partnered with the Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center, which serves youth of color, young women, and youth from low income backgrounds. In return for their generous sponsorship, we are leading a filmmaking workshop for their youth in November 2016, with the hope that they will be empowered to participate in Film Score Fest 2017. This year, we had a powerful partnership between Iraqi woman and a Hmong man, who were both refugees of war. They produced a film that critiqued the US invasion of Iraq, a topic that hit home for both. These individuals participated because we made an effort to reach out to filmmaking organizations that serve marginalized populations in St Paul, including the Hmong film festival, Qhia Dab Neeg, Saint Paul Neighborhood Network, and In Progress, a St Paul nonprofit with the mission to “diversify cultural dialogue and pave the way for new voices in the field of digital art making.” We hope to expand partnerships like these in 2017. Music composition requires one to have a music theory background and the knowledge of writing notated music, which can be inaccessible. We recognize that there are many composers who are capable of creating musical scores for Film Score Fest, but are unable to participate because they don’t know how to write sheet music or they don’t write for orchestral instruments. Next year, we’d like diversify our composers by allowing these individuals to submit an audio recording of their score instead of sheet music for the selection process. If their score and film are selected, we will arrange for them to perform the score live themselves or with other musicians of their choice, as guest artists. We exceeded our screening goal by screening a total of 18 films. In our audience surveys, we asked audience members to rate this event from 1-poor to 5-excellent. 35% rated this event 5, 55% rated it a 4, 15% rated it a 3, and no one rated it below 3. We also asked Film Score Fest artists to rate this event on the same scale, 90% rated it as 5, 10% rated as a 4, and no one rated it as under 4.",,6800,"Other, local or private",11800,,"Oanh Vu, Charlie McCarron, Yuri Ivan, Amy Mino, Ellen Stanley, Bonnie Schumacher",0.00,MNKINO,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the third annual MNKINO Film Score Fest, an event that brings filmmakers, composers, and musicians together to create new short films with original scores that are performed live at the screening.

35952,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","At least 400 people attend the four Young People's Concerts, 25% of whom are children. At least 95% of audience members who respond to a survey have a positive reactions to the concert. An orchestra member will do a rough count of the number attending each concert. Audience surveys will be included in every concert program.","Since the inception of this program 10 seasons ago, the Minnetonka Orchestra developed and refined a model that successfully meets our artistic goal of offering engaging classical music programs for young audiences. Programming is focused on shorter, more accessible compositions. A high school student who is the winner of our Young Artist's Competition performs a movement of a concerto so that the young audience hears a performer who is nearly like them. Concerts have a casual atmosphere in which the orchestra director offers engaging information and humorous comments from the podium. The orchestra members dress in costume for the Spooktacular Concerts, leaving the impression that neither classical music nor classical musician are ""stuffy."" We also use techniques that keep the audiences actively engaged. At some concerts a guest young ""conductor"" is selected from the audience to lead the orchestra in playing a march (with help of the director). Spooktacular Concerts always include a parade, during which costumed audience members march around the room to strains of a short classical piece. All of these thoughtful approaches to concerts continue to make them a success with young audience members, as well as adults. Although we have created a highly successful model for young people's concerts, these concerts have potential hazards. One is programming. While the director is aware that shorter pieces have greater appeal with this audience, he sometimes strays from that standard. In the previous season, he selected one longer composition in addition to several short familiar pieces. As a result, survey feedback suggested that these concerts were less successful than usual. Taking that feedback into consideration, musical selections for concerts during this grant period were much more appropriate in length and audience appeal. Another risk is the quality of the director's engagement with the audience. Ideally, the director will provide comments that provide insight or information about the composition to be performed, as well as an element of humor that prevents the program from becoming too serious. Achieving the appropriate balance is a challenge. The orchestra director for the first two concerts, our Founder and Artistic Director for 42 years, tended to lean towards the silly side of interaction. This definitely lent the appropriate tone to the concert experience, but did not always provide sufficient substance. In August 2016, our director abruptly retired and an interim director conducted the last two concerts funded by this grant proposal. To our surprise, this director provided a much better balance of substantive information and lighter comments that put the audience at ease. The search for a permanent conductor is underway. Our challenge for the 2017 concerts will be to obtain buy-in and understanding of our approach by the new director who will be responsible for leading these concerts. Large numbers of adults and children attended these concerts, some of whom are repeat attendees from last season's programs. We offered the programs in four locations, making the concerts more easily geographically accessible to a wider audience. All concerts were offered free of charge. However, there is an admission charge to enter one of the four venues for these concerts are held: The Arboretum charges an admission fee for non-Arboretum members. Although this is less desirable for our goal to make our concerts free for all, our appearance at the Arboretum attracts an audience that is 2-3 times larger than other concerts, due to Arboretum's ability to promote the concert to its thousands of members and to the fact that the Arboretum venue offers many other attractive options for pre- and post-concert activities. Given we offer three other concerts in other locations that have no financial obstacles to attendance, we will continue to include the Arboretum as one concert venue for these concerts in hopes of reaching as wide an audience as possible. One way we have expanded the diversity of our audience is to offer one concert that is ""sensory friendly"" for autistic children. For the past two years, we have collaborated with those leading an education program for autistic children and have been able to attract over a dozen children with autism to these concerts. The setting for this concert is more intimate. Autistic children are encouraged to participate as performers in the concert. This means that some may join the orchestra in performance of a short piece. Additionally, a particularly skilled young person with autism has performed a solo composition for cello. The impact of this solo is stunning. Audience members and musicians in the orchestra are able to see the great potential those with autism have to offer and to gain a window into this mysterious disability. Unfortunately, the sensory friendly concert was offered during Minnesota Educators Association weekend, which may limit the number who are able to attend. Next season, the concert will a week later so that it more closely coincides with Halloween and to more heavily promote this concert to the autistic community. 99% of audience survey ratings on various dimensions of the concert experience were positive. The dimensions include conductor, pace of the program, length of the program, location logistics (parking, accessibility etc.), venue, program variety, repertoire, and time of day.

And because we have a reception after the concert for audience and musicians, this is excellent time for getting feedback.","Encore, Encore! (re-named from Parlor Music) was held on March 18-19, 2016 at the Washington County Historic Courthouse. This program captured the nostalgia of the origins of chamber music - small groups of friends performing together in the home. Encore, Encore! offered an evening of nostalgic time-travel, a program that might have been heard in a place like Stillwater a century ago. The music would have been light and approachable, perhaps what we consider “classical pops” today. The intimate and historic venue of the courthouse provided the perfect setting for a program of “salon music,” performed as entertainment for family and friends as it was originally. The program featured a wide variety of composers, including American, German, French and Italian music that might have been popular a century ago, from Schubert to Gershwin to Ravel and Puccini. Musicians performed in various combinations, providing a great deal of variety. The audience both nights was very enthusiastic and attendance was great at about 117 paid ticket-holders, along with 9 complimentary tickets. All artistic goals were met. Both performances were well attended, and musical quality was excellent. As always, the logistics of rehearsing and performing with so many different small ensembles in Encore, Encore! was challenging, but Music Saint Croix rose to the challenge. We received many favorable comments from audience members at the reception following both performances. Several audience members also contacted the board president during the week after the performances to say how much they enjoyed this kind of music. This grant also covered Music Saint Croix’s outreach concert at Boutwell’s Landing. Originally scheduled for April, the venue was unavailable at times our musicians could perform that month. An outreach concert featuring Music Saint Croix’s woodwind quintet was held on Saturday, July 16 at 2:00 p.m., as part of Boutwell’s “Saturday Surprise” series in the atrium. The program included a combination of classics and more popular dance-like tunes, by composers ranging from Beethoven and Mozart, to Percy Grainger, Victor Herbert and others. The seated audience numbered around 25-30, with many others passing through. Several residents commented that they enjoyed being able to hear the music in other areas of the building. As part of their “surprise” they passed out ice cream to everyone! The community served was exactly as in the proposal. 117 people were in the Encore, Encore! audience, which contained a good cross-section of music-lovers from Stillwater and the Saint Croix Valley. One change was to move the reception table with refreshments into the performance space rather than outside the door in the adjoining hallway. This made it much easier and more appealing for the audience and musicians to gather following the performance. 9 complimentary tickets were given to seniors and special guests. An increasing number of seniors and students attend at reduced rates; we are committed to maintaining low ticket prices so these people can afford to come to our concerts. At least one senior citizen thanks us for keeping ticket prices low at every single performance. The diversity within the intended community is primarily in two areas: age diversity and disability. People from a wide variety of income levels and all ages attended. All publicity mentions that concert sites are ADA accessible, and patrons with disabilities are frequently in the audience. The audience at Boutwell’s Landing was enthusiastic, and asked questions about the instruments – prompting a quick demo and explanation of single reed vs. double reed woodwinds. They have already asked us to return in the fall! As a direct response to our overall audience growth, Music Saint Croix is excited to announce that we will expand our concert season from three to four annual concerts. Beginning with our 2016-2017 season, we look forward to the opportunity to perform more frequently, with a wider variety of repertoire. (1) 117 attended Encore! Encore! with music by 13 different composers performed by 7 musicians. Performance quality was excellent, judging from audience response and evaluation of recordings. (2) More audience members engaged with musicians at the receptions because the refreshments were more convenient.

We expect 80 children to attend our classes with their parent or grandparent. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes by asking the adults in class to fill out a questionnaire regarding their child's development as a result of our classes. Our board of directors will meet after the Winter/Spring Semester to evaluate the adult questionnaire responses and also to evaluate the success of the semester regarding class enrollment numbers and numbers of families using scholarships and sibling discounts.","We learned that our artistic goals were achieved by observing children's behavior in class, hearing parent comments in class, and by reading the questionnaire responses. Parents and grandparents expressed that their children were exhibiting the ability to keep a steady beat. Some of the adults said that their very young children (ages 1 and 2 years) had not developed this skill yet, which is to be expected for children at these ages. Most parents/grandparents communicated that their children were singing much more frequently as a result of music class and some indicated that the singing was more tuneful. We noticed in the Picture Book Music class that most of the children were singing along animatedly to the books that we sang, moved to, and played instruments to. Adults commented that their children loved to move to music and one child stated, ""I just love to sing and dance!"" Another adult indicated that her child danced more rhythmically as a result of music class. Some adults stated that their children's dancing changed with the style of music. Children and adults in the classes heard many different styles of music from many different cultures including: African-American spirituals, classical music, reggae music and folk tunes from several countries. Our goal was to serve approximately 80 registered children with 70 adults attending weekly classes. We actually had 66 children registered with 67 accompanying adults. Our enrollment was up by 24 registered children from the 2015 Winter/Spring Semester enrollment of 44. We estimated that 24 children would receive 1/2 tuition scholarships; 12 children actually used scholarships for the Winter/Spring 2016 semester. We estimated that 12 children would use the sibling discount of 3/4 full tuition. Nine sibling discounts were actually used. Two thirds of the scholarships were used by families enrolling in the shorter 8-week classes, one class with a $15 materials fee and the other class with no materials fee. Our goal in offering these shorter classes with lower fees was to attract families who might not have been able to afford the 16-week classes, even with the help of scholarships; therefore we met the goal of a more diverse community in our classes, although we would've liked the number of families taking our classes with the help of a scholarship to be higher. We are delighted that approximately 25 grandparents attended class with their grandchildren, most of whom attended weekly, and some of whom attended occasionally or as one-time visitors. We made our class accessible by having chairs available in the classroom for grandparents who couldn't or preferred not to sit on the floor. Fourteen out of the 66 children attending were new to our classes and either were referred by friends or learned of our classes from flyers. Sixty-six children registered for classes, which was a significant increase in enrollment from the 42 children registered from the previous year.

In addition, we sang at 6 preschool sites, a slightly different program, but equally well received (""The kids talked about our performance for many weeks afterward."") We performed music from show tunes, swing, rock and roll, old standards, polka, jazz, patriotic and holiday for senior audiences who would often comment, ""This is the best program we've heard here yet!"" It might be forgetfulness on their part, or, as we believe, our songs and the way they are presented touch their hearts and lighten their day. The only down side to our year was a slightly lower than normal turnout of our singers. It seemed the same small group of 20-25 showed up at performances. We have nearly 40 singers. This is always a challenge with busy senior schedules. We continue to challenge them to make the performances fun and rehearsals educational, or as one singer described them, ""a free music lesson!"" At each performance we saw many seniors in wheelchairs, coming to the performance in walkers and some who needed assistance, so YES, we reached the audiences we intended. Although all our singers come mostly from northern European ethnic background, the same cannot be said for our audiences, which are very diverse. Although the audiences are primarily seniors, they come from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, some sites are senior condos or cooperatives and others are low income care facilities. Minnesota is becoming more diverse ethnically, and all our sites reflect this diversity. We need to concentrate on making our own chorus more diverse ethnically. That said, we have seniors in our chorus of all levels of health--some seem easily confused and need extra help in organizing music and getting to performances.

Participant/audience count; participant/family member survey.","We had three primary artistic goals: Goal 1. Ignite the camper's interest in performing and visual arts. At the conclusion of the camp, 100% of participants were in interested in attending next year's theater arts camp and 93% agreed that they learned about different types of performing arts. Goal 2. Provide them with a two-fold experience of creating a performance and attending a performing arts event. Students produced a final showcase that included 7 short pieces around different social justice topics as well as spoken word and vocal performances. Students participated in two events intended to expose them to a range of theater arts. They attended Scapegoat, a play about race issues in the early 20th century and today, at the Pillsbury Theater, and a performance and workshop with Irreducible Grace Foundation's Fostering Voice Workshop, a program that introduces theater arts to youth aging out of the foster care system. Goal 3. Provide access to the arts for the campers and their families. Students were able to attend the two field trips/guest workshops and students put on 2 performances, one for peers and one for family and community members, reaching a total of 96 people. 100% of parents agreed that their student learned new concepts or skills, and beyond performing arts, 87% of students said they learned more about Social Justice. We were successful in introducing youth to a wide range of theater art concepts coupled with a wide range of social justice topics. Based on our goals from the previous year, we spent more time allowing students to research their topics and produce pieces grounded in facts as well as personal experience. We also spent more time on teaching students how to share what they learn and experience with their family and friends. Finally we allowed students to volunteer to be directors of each piece and that leadership role elevated the quality of each piece as well as the student experience. However, there were two main challenges: 1) Students had interests in theater roles beyond acting and directing such as costumes, make-up, lighting, etc., and we did not have the time or in some cases the expertise to focus on these skills. We would like to offer guest-led workshops in some of these areas outside the normal time so that students can opt-in based on interest and they would be open to outside students, parents, and community members. 2) Given the strong interest in directing and leadership roles, we want to focus more on this going forward, spending more time on directing skills and building in more leadership roles as students participate in a second or third year. Despite planning for 12 students, we ended up serving 25 students due to the demand and student interest. Of the 25 student participants, 76% were students of color, 60% were eligible for free or reduced lunch, and 52% had diagnosed mental health issues. We felt we were successful in reaching our student population because we were able to meet a wide range of student needs. For example, many students were only able to participate because we offered the program for free and provided transportation. The diversity of students that participated led to rich and successful conversations and theater exercises around social justice topics. We were able to make our program open and accessible to all students because we employed staff trained in working with students with mental health needs, we offered the program for free and provided food and transportation, and we had a 1:6 staff to student ratio that allowed us to work individually with each student to meet their needs. We also were successful in reaching a diverse set of artists and community organizations. Our primary theatre artist is trained in social justice theater and has a strong background in spoken word and movement arts. Pillsbury House Theater, both a community center and theatre is committed to partnering with diverse audiences to create transformational arts experiences. They uphold that arts are an integral part of all healthy communities. Irreducible Grace Foundation's Fostering Voice program is committed to providing theater training to youth who have experienced foster care, incarceration, homelessness, food in-security, or are an ally to those who have had these experiences. Three outcomes that highlight success in exposing students to theater arts (93% of youth said they learned about different performing arts), providing them with strong relationships to caring adults (100% of youth felt that camp staff really care about them), and developing their social and emotional skills (93% of youth felt more comfortable working in a group and 100% made new friends).",,1275,"Other, local or private",6275,,"Bryan Belisle, Joseph Brown Thunder, Mary Burg, Judith Cognetta, Tanya Siebert Dowda, John Hakes, Jean Houlding, Blake Huffman, Robert Jacobson, Amanda Little, Dean Maschka, Mary Jo McGuire, Gary Meehlhause, Dennis Murphy, Lindsay Nauen, Daniel Newham, Terry Nybloom, Gloria Alvarez Pederson, Dan Roe, Cory Springhorn, Miriam Ward",0.00,"Northeast Youth and Family Services","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for a three-week theater arts program for up to 12 participants of The Unity Center program.

The scope of the production design, the focus on installation art, the location of an art gallery, and the transformation of the directors’ recent personal experience to a universal expression together open a new chapter for the company. We hope to reach our target age group of 18-25. We hope to reach our goal of $5000 in admissions. We will evaluate the results of the project through encounters with the audience, discussions with cast members, with the Off-Leash Area Board of Directors, and with peers. We will also access information from surveys included in programs, as well as on comment boards on our website and social media sites. We will also invite people to stay after every show for snacks and beverages, and give personalized tours through the set led by the designers and directors, soliciting questions about the sources and ideas that led to that evening’s performance. Additionally, we will take into account the press coverage, community responses from outreach partners, and box office statistics captured by The Soap Factory. We will evaluate these responses and data to improve future outreach, and adjust our artistic process for future shows.","We did achieve our artistic goals. Even though we had a change of venue, which caused some challenges for us. We were able to re imagine elements of the 360-degree scenic design to still offer an immersive experience for the audience. We were able to explore a very topical, politically charged subject matter, terrorism and its aftermath, and keep the experience grounded in the human aspect of facing one's mortality, without ignoring the political aspects. We were able to hire a cast that was very high quality and up to the task. The audience was clearly moved after each performance. Nearly all audience members stayed after the performance to explore the set/installation, speak with the performers, and simply reside in the space with the resonance of what they had experienced. Additionally, the set for AfterWind was among 3 designs that co-director Paul Herwig was honored for as a nominee for a Sage Award for Outstanding Design in Dance by the local dance community. We did reach our intended audience, but we would have liked to have had more of them. The change in venue also caused our marketing to be delayed until we had a new venue that could accommodate our project design, which was the Savage Umbrella space. Savage Umbrella is connected to a young audience, like our original venue The Soap Factory, but we lost out on the size audience the Soap would have connected us to. The audience was more diverse, which was related to the very diverse cast we assembled, and the universality of the themes explored in the production. Approximately 250 attended the performance. Of these 25% were anecdotally of other than Caucasian descent. The production received amazingly positive reviews from the press.

We got a variety of comments that touched upon many aspects of the show: the music, the acting, the variety of puppets, the creativity, the solar power, the fact that children were so engaged, the fact that adults liked it too, the allowance for participation, etc… 2. Community organizers who were present at the shows were most enthusiastic about the community response. Lily Shaw at Hamline Park said that the ethnic diversity at the show was higher than ever at 20% and she expressed interest for next year. Patti Schwartz has contacted me about the possibility of doing shows in the passive parks again next year with the possible addition of puppet workshops with the children ahead of time to enhance their understanding of puppetry. Eric Thompson of St. Paul Park and Recreation is also interested in repeating our project. My Survey Monkey evaluation was a bust for some reason, but I have contacted the organizers I worked with and they have expressed satisfaction with the outcomes of our tour. 3. The artists felt satisfied with the shows and how we performed. Performers and musicians actually improvised some new material that came out through interactions with the audience or the particular location which keeps the show fresh for all. We were gratified by audience response. 4. Our audiences average out at more than 50 in size for the 8 sites, but we did not manage to have every audience with 50 participants. Two of our shows had to be moved indoors because of rain, so we assume that we lost numbers because of people's assumption that the show was not taking place. Ofir Germanic, director at Conway Park was expecting up to 100 audience members, but moving it into the gym curtailed our numbers. He was disappointed. I was expecting to serve children and adults with little emphasis on teens, and that is who we served. Our audiences were diverse ethnically, and that was especially true in the three shows where Patti Schwartz organized bringing children from other rec centers, where our audiences were majority children of color. Though I did outreach on some of the list serves for hearing impaired people, and people with developmental disabilities, we had no one who required our ASL services (we had 2 shows interpreted), and only a few kids with developmental disabilities. We did have a few people in wheel chairs attend with no problems in accessibility. The written surveys indicate that 55% of our audience was seeing a puppet show for the first time.

Combining arts with the creative process of inquiry science turned out to be one of the favorite school-wide curriculum efforts ever. Science educators guided the children in creating structures with a purpose - truly a process-art experience. The project began with an in-service for staff addressing S.T.E.A.M in the classroom.

Additional measurable project outcomes include involving up to ten youth performers in the production, performing for 1,000 audience members, and receiving 85% of audience satisfaction review responses to the production in the “Good and Excellent” categories. The evaluation ","The Park Theater Company’s production of 8 performances of Finian’s Rainbow achieved and exceeded its artistic goals. This production provided a theatrical production of the highest quality for the residents of St. Louis Park and surrounding communities. It also engaged 21 local actors and musicians ages 7 to 70, 60% who live, work or attend school in St. Louis Park, in song and dance, supported by 34 volunteers as tech support, set construction, transportation, ushers, and front of house personnel. Nine of the performers were under the age of 19 years old. The selection of Finian’s Rainbow addressed the relevant social issues of race, social status, immigration, income inequality, and political oppression. This production has resulted in a stronger and broader platform for the support of community theater in St Louis Park. The Park Theater Company was able to engage Julliard-trained, and accomplished, international musician, Roderick Phipps-Kettlewell as its Musical Director. Mr. Phipps-Kettlewell had served as the Musical Director of The Park Theater Company’s production of The Forger’s Apprentice – The Musical in June 2015. Five of the principal actors had also been part of earlier The Park Theater Company productions while 16 were new to The Park Theater Company. Finian’s Rainbow was the first formal stage experience for five of the youth performers. Under Mr. Phipps-Kettlewell’s musical direction and the stage direction of Jim McDonough Jr., The Park Theater Company’s Board Chair, the troupe of performers was able to coalesce and gain command of the script and score with 13 two-hour rehearsals in November prior to opening night on December 2, 2016. The set, stage dressings, props, lights and sound created an enchanting and captivating context for the performances. Master craftsman and The Park Theater Company’s Artistic Director managed the design and construction of the set. Another long-term The Park Theater Company Board Member, performed in her first The Park Theater Company production and coordinated and managed the youth choral. The significant challenges with this performance were scheduling the venue and securing the lead principal performers. The two lead actors who were specifically cast for their roles had to abandon the project after the first four rehearsals because of unexpected work commitments and transportation limitations. The original choir which indicated an interest in the production was not able to commit to the project because of lack of availability and other performance commitments during the holiday season. So the Director was compelled to re-cast the leads and assemble a choral ensemble in 10-days during on—going rehearsals. The Park Theater Company would secure written commitments from the principals with specified circumstances that might interfere with their performing. In June 2016, the Jewish Community Center Theatre Manager asked The Park Theater Company to reschedule because the Management strongly wanted to accommodate a new client request for time in November. This placed The Park Theater Company performances in the most hectic and competitive times of the holiday season but resulted in a significant rental fee reduction. The Park Theater Company did successfully reach its intended community regarding artists, performers, participants, volunteers and audiences. The total number of audience attendees was 56% or 555 persons of the proposed target of 1,000 persons originally projected in the project proposal. The Populations Benefiting in regard to age, diversity and access were not significantly different from the original projections and objectives. The group of artists/performers/volunteers/audience attendees engaged in this production was the most diverse, in regard to age and race, ever in The Park Theater Company’s eight-year history of producing theatrical performances in St Louis Park. The age range of performers was from age seven to seventy and racial diversity included three African Americans, one Korean American, and seventeen of European Descent. The audiences were similarly reflective of this racial diversity. Accessibility was ensured for those audience members with disability challenges including physical, emotional, and social challenges. Specific arrangements were made for the hearing impaired including hearing aid loop technology, microphones and sign language interpreters. Over 200 complimentary tickets were provided to community members including fifteen Sabes Jewish Community Center Inclusion Program participants, 25 veterans and their families, 50 seniors, and 10 low-income families. Meeting the projected general attendance objective of 1,000 persons was not reached due to changes in community notification in local community newspapers, and as a result only being able to purchase advertising for the last four performances. The first four performances had 225 audience attendees while the last four performances had 330 audience attendees resulting in a 47% increase in the second weekend. Increased advertising and targeted group solicitation through the schools, places of worship, and senior residences will be implemented for future productions. Three successful project outcomes include engaging 55 artists and volunteers in St. Louis Park; performing for 555 audience members including 315 paid attendees and 240 complimentary admissions; and attaining 100% of audience satisfaction and reviews in the “Good to Excellent” categories measured by written comments and one to one interview responses with 20% attending multiple performances.",,19413,"Other, local or private",24413,,"James J McDonough Jr, Tim Colby, Marshall Hambro, Elizabeth Chambers Brown, Claudia Fashingbauer, Robert Yarwood II, Michael McDonough, Jerry Wilson, Todd Bruse, Cathy Zolkowski Wilson, Bea Hasselmann",0.00,"The Park Theater Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to produce and present eight performances of ""FinianÆs Rainbow.""

The Evaluation Plan will include: 1) Process Evaluation will measure the success of the process, with Sidewalk chat sign-in sheets/meeting minutes/attendance records to track Participants and Audience numbers; 2) Outcome Evaluation will focus on behavioral changes among participants (involving more in the arts) through community stories, audience feedback and participant surveys; 3) Sidewalk Chat notes form Neighbors’ feedbacks.","With such vision in mind, Sidewalk Arts Project has successfully completed as a summer-long outdoor Arts Learning and Street Arts project on around Broadway and Lyndale corridor in North Minneapolis. Led by established Hmong Artist Yang Yang and her 10 young artists have transformed the Broadway into arts space with Stenciled Arts and Hmong Patterns. The project is designed to mold messages and to provoke discussion around Arts and immigration settlement in North Minneapolis. Sidewalk Arts Project aims to enable immigrant/refugee youth, aged between 14-17 years old, to ACCESS traditional visual arts reflecting through stencil arts design/painting techniques to articulate historical and cultural concerns, and to reveal stories through Community Engagement process, that are personal to immigrant/refugees; yet so common in everyone and everyday life. This year we focused on the Hmong refugee experience. The Project has utilized the unexpected public spaces, such as sidewalks to activate North Minneapolis with art and energy. The project has split into 2 parts. In the first part – the first 6 weeks, youth has participated in one day a week for graphic design trainings to build solid two-dimensional arts skills and storytelling methods, learning different approaches to drawing with Minnesota based artists Yang Yang. Youth then collected Hmong traditional patterns and icons from Hmong elders. In the second part for the remaining 3 weeks, youth have participated in an intensive community outreach with stencil arts printing at North Minneapolis Sidewalks during weekends (7/30, 8/19, and 8/27), and youth have make collaborative designs/patterns, these Street Arts have beautified the neighborhoods with artistic design patterns. Our project has successfully increased participation by eliminating some fairly standards barriers ---arts class cost, lack of communal arts experience and transportation. Through our project, Hmong youth have opportunities to create the new bicultural arts - integrating the Hmong traditional patterns and Western graphic designs into their creations, additionally we have increased constituent influence and ownership through the street outreach to neighbors. The learning accumulated to the Street Arts Events, with more than 500 audiences the day of creation, and more than 2,000 audience over a 2-weeks period. All Planning Committee members and artists have focused on outreach and audience development process to support ACCESS for all people. Pathway Learning Center has reached out to the Hmong community and North Minneapolis residents; postcards sent around Metro areas and flyers to Minneapolis public school students. Our target participants are at-risk, low-income youth with special focus on Hmong refugee youth 14-17 years old. Besides young artists, our project has also successfully attracted – low-income North Minneapolis residents – to share/exchange cultural heritages through arts. We have successfully outreached to the intended communities, roughly estimated about 50% are African American audiences; 20% are Asian Americans; 20% are Caucasians and 10% are other ethnicity groups. Sidewalk Arts Project has successfully hosted a series of activities for the target participants and audiences, which included: Part 1: April - May, 2016, ongoing Community Engagement and Finalize the themes and youth participants, and secured the Sidewalk Arts usage agreements with the FLOW and the City. Part 2: Summer 2016, Mid-June to end July for 1 day a week for two-dimensional drawing and graphic design instructions for the youth, with Lead Artist Yang Yang. Part 3: Summer 2016 – July 30th Sidewalk Arts Project presented at the FLOW as a kickoff event at the Broadway and Lyndale. Youth has learnt mural painting techniques and storytelling methods following the “Comprehensive Arts Learning” model to address issues in their Hmong Community, establish an ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM for self-expression in a collaborative learning environment, and help youth and teaching artists gain creative, conceptual and professional arts skills. Sidewalk Arts Project supports a collaborative learning environment consisting of Minnesota-based teaching artists, for youth and adults, which may not be accessible due to economic barriers to build and strengthen creative and conceptual skills. This structure allows participants and teaching artists to build relationships beyond the student/teacher dynamic and provides for all participants to become learners and teachers to each other with a unified learning goal – to use their artistic talents as motifs to address social or cultural issues in their mural paintings. Through in-depth learning and community engagement, our project provides artists with the space and time to challenge their established ideas, move beyond their best work to investigate their next work. Additionally, the Sidewalk Arts Project, has: Taught transferrable skills to make youth more employable; Engaged artists across generations in a collaborative effort to create a vibrant place that speaks to the culture of the Hmong in North Side; Built an attractive connection between the North Side and urban arts that improves walk-ability and make the area more attractive to developers; Built the capacity of the Hmong artists to teach Asian American Arts and share the community history. We have evaluated the success through 1) Reaching Target Numbers (10 young artists) and the Quality of the Street Arts events (with 100% satisfaction rate with FLOW review), and 2) the Quality of Youth Creations to communicate their cultural heritages, and their growing up experience through design. Youth have also expressed the comments and suggestions for future program design.",,3000,"Other, local or private",8000,,"Ethel Lee Norwood, Maria Thor, Penny Vang, Sue Hawman, Adenike Chon, Dorian Petty",0.00,"Pathway Learning Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the Sidewalk Arts Project, a summer-long public art and collaborative design project with Asian American artist Yang Yang and mentoring ten young emerging artists.

35968,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","REACH will provide each participant to experience a different form of emotional expression and communication. In order to accomplish this experience all the participants will work towards three goals: each artist will complete a warm up activity in the beginning of each session; each artist will create one piece of art they are proud of and willing to share with the group; and each participant will complete a piece of art to the best of their ability to be displayed in the December art exhibit that represents themselves and their Art Abilities experience. The criteria for measuring success will include each participant being able to produce at least one piece of art that they are willing to speak about at one of the six weeks and show a piece of art during the December Art Exhibit. To evaluate the program, the participants will be given an evaluation in the method that best meets the client's needs at the end of the six weeks (survey, a question and answer session where the group participates, or private conversation with the project personnel). Surveys will also be given to spectators of the Art Exhibit.","REACH’s goal was to have individuals with disabilities experience a different form of emotional expression and communication, which Art Abilities accomplished in multiple ways. First, every participant completed a warm-up activity at the beginning of each session. Participants executed a wide variety of warm-up activities, with each activity challenging the participant’s imagination and creativity. Participants of Art Abilities were surveyed to see what warm-up activity was their favorite. Each survey response had a different activity listed, demonstrating that each activity offered something fun and challenging. Second, every participant was given the task to create one piece of art in which they were most proud and would be willing to share to the rest of the group. Again, participants were surveyed to determine which art project they completed in which they were most proud and would be willing to share with other participants. Similar to the responses regarding the warm-up activities, each survey response had a different project listed. This validates the uniqueness of each of the art projects that were offered during Art Abilities and also reflects how each project was tailored so that regardless of artistic ability, all participants could enjoy and complete the projects. Third, participants were challenged to complete a piece of art to the best of their ability to be displayed in the art exhibit. A large number of artists expressed interest in attending the exhibit. Unfortunately, no artists could attend due to scheduling conflicts. Ms. Wright did attend however and modeled a few of the art projects and explained what Art Abilities was to people we support, staff, and community members. Lastly, REACH surveyed the participants to see if there is anything they would change about the Art Abilities program. Over half of the participants stated that there is nothing they would change about the program. The rest of the participants expressed that they would like more projects that spanned multiple sessions so as not to rush to finish the project, which could be achieved by way of offering more sessions. The feedback provided by the participants was overwhelmingly positive and demonstrates that Art Abilities allowed artists to (1) explore multiple artistic areas of interest, (2) challenge themselves in a fun and supporting environment, and (3) learn new and exciting ways to express themselves and communicate with others. At the conclusion of Art Abilities, the community served was the same as the original intended audience. Art Abilities served individuals ages thirteen years and older with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, brain injury, severe learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral disorders. The participants of Art Abilities lived in the Western and Northwestern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The outreach efforts and publication through the REACH newsletter was instrumental in reaching the intended community Art Abilities was created to serve. The printed REACH Reader newsletter is mailed out to 3,485 individuals, and an additional 918 individuals receive our newsletter via email. We also dedicated some social media attention to our free Art Abilities program, and that message got out to our 1,128 Social Media followers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and YouTube). Additionally REACH staff attended local transition fairs, resource fairs, and disability provider events to promote the program which resulted in our highest program registration yet. With limited opportunity for individuals with developmental disabilities to access quality art programming, outreach was necessary to have diverse artists attend the group. The artistic abilities of the participants were also diverse. There were beginner artists who came to the program to try something new, and there were artists who were more experienced. The Art Abilities program was offered at no cost. This allowed participants with financial constraints to participate in the program. People with disabilities on average have a lower socioeconomic status in order for them to maintain financial assistance. By having the program completely free to the participants, REACH was able to make Art Abilities accessible to all who wanted to participate. On the survey, 100% of the participants expressed that they would like to participate in the program multiple times a year. Additionally, 75% of the participants stated they were “Very Satisfied” with the program and 25% stated they were “Satisfied.” Participant’s family members calling and asking when Art Abilities will be offered again further reinforced the responses on the survey.",,2550,"Other, local or private",7550,,"Patrick Boley, Melissa Rahn, Erin Kober, Andy Weinstein, Sharla Duerre, Gary Johnson, Renae Kimpel, Jill Kaiyalethe, Nicolas Montoya, Dan Nelson, Kari Schamber",0.00,"Reach for Resources","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Art Abilities, a six-session series of workshops that offers youth and adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to explore a variety of art media.

35970,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Eighty children and parents or thirty families will participate in a total of six workshops (each workshop consists of two sessions). Ninety (90) percent of parents will report that creating pottery together was a positive family bonding experience and 90 percent of participants will indicate that they gained a better understanding of the pottery-making process. Perspectives utilizes a reflection tool that provides basic and practical feedback for future programming. This quick exercise will be done at the end of each workshop session with the whole group. We will additionally evaluate the project’s success based on the following factors: number of families participating in each workshop, number of families who attend both sessions of their workshop, number of families completing a set of dishes or centerpiece, and number of families who join in the celebration dinner and take part in presenting their work.","Artistic Goals: Our Family Dish project achieved our goals to offer each parent and child the opportunity to create at least one plate or centerpiece within a family set of dishes. Participants learned how to use professional ceramic tools appropriately and artistically to craft their pieces. Once the dishes were created, participants learned the proper techniques on how to glaze their pottery. The families used creative designs and patterns to distinguish their work as a cohesive set while also featuring the unique contributions of each family member. Upon completion of the project, a final celebration was held during which families shared a meal and proudly presented their set of dishes to the group. Approximately 24% of all participants chose to attend a second workshop and 80% expressed interest in developing their pottery skills through additional classes. Strengths/Challenges: We found the best staffing combination for each workshop included: one artist, one staff member, and two or more volunteers. This level of support ensured participants received adequate one-on-one support throughout the process. Step-by-step demonstrations were provided for each project, which greatly helped each participant complete their artwork successfully. Many participants chose to attend the final, advanced workshop session. It was critical for staff and volunteers to be familiar with the techniques and strategies learned during the initial plate workshops so that our artist could focus her attention on instructing how to create a centerpiece. As we had hoped, many families were motivated to try their hand at creating centerpieces following the plate workshops. This leads us to believe that we could possibly offer additional complex clay projects in future classes. Returning families expressed strong interest in tackling more intricate projects, both functional and sculptural. The biggest challenge involved accommodating the varied paces of work while still offering a chance to come together at the end of each class for important group reflection. We learned to manage this by having our reflection time happen once half the families had completed their work, allowing the remaining families to finish after reflection. Lessons Learned: In the future, we’re interested in offering more advanced-level clay classes alongside the beginner-level classes. We believe this approach would encourage new families to attend, and motivate returning families to continue developing their pottery skills. We discovered that the ideal participation number was 12-15 people per workshop. This size provided individuals the support they needed while maintaining an intimate and personal experience for families. Scheduling the workshops in pairs during the same weeks with a shared celebration event at the end also worked well to foster a sense of artistic community as well as allow savings on kiln use. Community Served: Our project focused on providing an opportunity for family connection while making art. We successfully reached the intended audience, as all attendees were connected to Perspectives’ Kids Connection program, which serves both families living in our Supportive Housing as well as the surrounding community. A total of 79 unduplicated individuals participated (50 children and 29 adults). Children ranged from five to thirteen years of age; adults included a mix of parents and grandparents. 100% of these 29 families meet the low-income designation, 75% of which are single-parent families. Thirty-one percent of the families live in Perspectives’ Supportive Housing Program and are considered homeless. These families have a history of trauma including violence, mental health issues, and chemical dependency. Denise Tennen, the artist identified in the proposal, facilitated all six workshops. Mickie Key, Kids Connection Program Manager, four Kids Connection staff, and four volunteers attended and supported the sessions. Tennen was assisted by at least one staff and two volunteers during each class. By serving 79 individuals and 29 families, we nearly reached our intended participation rate of 80 individuals and 30 families. In comparison to our 2014 Family Dish project, we served an additional 15 individuals and 3 families during this project. We attribute this increase to the growing popularity of the project and the staff’s recruitment efforts. Outreach Efforts: The project was promoted in a variety of ways to ensure all interested families were able to participate. Kids Connection staff has built strong relationships with our families, which served as the main avenue to encourage involvement. Staff contacted families directly about this opportunity in person or via phone. They reviewed project details and supported the adults in the registration process. The project was also supported by staff in our Supportive Housing Program, who encouraged mothers to take advantage of the workshop and helped problem-solve schedule conflicts. Project Accessibility: Accessibility was a top priority in the Family Dish project. We removed barriers to engagement by providing a meal prior to each workshop, free transportation, and free childcare for younger siblings. We ensured access by offering all activities at Perspectives Family Center, where children were already participating in our after-school programming. Workshop sessions and the celebration dinners were provided at no cost. During the classes, all materials and tools were provided free of charge. We chose the plates and centerpieces as our art activity because it was a simple way to create beautiful pieces within our fun and structured format. Six workshops were provided for 79 children and adults to create art together. 94% of participants indicated that the project improved their pottery skills; 100% of parents reported this as a positive experience for their family and would recommend the class to another family. Participants described the class as, “fun, inspiring, a new learning experience, and a way to be expressive.”",,1280,"Other, local or private",6280,,"James Kremer, Rae Lesmeister, Dawn Courrier-Cable, Sue Zelickson, Jeannie Seeley-Smith, Cheryl Cochrane, Marne Brooks, Becky Dvorak, Debbie Estes, Susan Grafton, Peter Hayden, Karen Heithoff, Dustee Jenkins, Sarena Lin, Michael Maeser, Kelly Merriman, Jim Murphy, Ellen Schmidt, Karl Schmidt, Ruth Usem, Vicki Wyard, David McNally, Lisa Denzer, Pam Miller",0.00,"Perspectives, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for The Family Dish, a pottery project offered to at-risk families in the Kids Connection program featuring a series of workshops culminating in a celebration dinner.

We will be administering an audience survey at the Spring concert. Audience and participant counts will be taken at both the Winter and Spring concerts.","The Plymouth Concert Band presented concerts on March 6, 2016 and May 14, 2016 as outlined in our grant proposal. The theme for the March 6th performance was Music From All Directions. The selections we performed included the following: Arabesque – Samuel R. Hazo (Middle East); First Suite in Eb for Military Band – Gustav Holst (Great Britain); Fiesta - Symphonic Dance No. 3 – Clifton Williams (Latin America); Overture on Canadian Folk Songs – Patrick J. Burns (Canada); Excerpts from Appalachian Spring – Aaron Copland (Eastern United States); The Cowboys – John Williams (Western United States). The May 14th concert, under the theme of ""Imagine"" included these selections: A Childhood Remembered – Rossano Galante; City Trees - Michael Markowski; Harry Potter Symphonic Themes – John Williams; Wicked - Stephen Schwartz; Shortcut Home - Diana Wilson. Our guest artist for the May concert was trombonist Dean Sorenson, Associate Professor and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Sorenson performed with the band on ""The Blue Bells of Scotland"", two jazz pieces, ""Reflective Mood"" and ""Keep the Stick."" ""Reflective Mood"" and ""Keep the Stick"" showcased Mr. Sorenson's skill as an improviser. We also featured the winner of our Young Artist Competiion, bassoonist Briana McGrane. Brianna performed Rondo-Allegro by Carl Maria von Weber. At the time, Brianna was a senior and member of the Wayzata High School Wind Ensemble. She will be pursuing a degree in music education at Luther College in the fall. We were very pleased with the artistic quality of each concert. In keeping with our programming philosophy, we followed the format of theming each performance. The theming of concerts continues to give our programming cohesion for both the players and the audience. The addition of Brianna and Dean as guest artists for the May concert added greatly to that concert and helped the band play at its highest level. Subsequent to the submission of our Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant application, some adjustments were made to repertoire. These adjustments included addition of ""A Shortcut Home"" and ""City Trees"" for the May concert. Both of these pieces we felt better fit the theme of ""Imagine."" Both are pieces of program music that are striking for the way they paint musical pictures for the audience. At the time of our application, we were in contact with a saxophone quartet, in keeping with our thought that the May concert would feature a woodwind group. Scheduling conflicts made it impossible to engage this saxophone quartet and they will be presented in 2017. For the future, we will make every effort to engage guest artists further in advance to reduce the possibility of scheduling conflicts with our selected guest artists. The audience we reached with the March and May concerts showed very little difference from past audiences. We were a bit disappointed in the attendance, which was approximately 120 people for each concert. While we received very positive feedback from the audience regarding the performances, the Board will be attempting to draw more people in 2016.17. Our efforts in this regard will begin with forming a standing Nominating Committee and more careful consideration of the following of guest artists we engage for the May concerts. It is clear that audience development remains one of our biggest challenges. By establishing a standing Nominating Committee, our intent is to be more proactive in seeking out Board members and volunteers with expertise in developing audiences. It is our hope that by having ongoing activity in recruiting volunteers, we can increase both the number of volunteers and those with talents in community outreach. Both the March and May concerts were free and open to the public. The Wayzata High School Auditorium is accessible to those with physical disabilities. Experience has shown that engaging guest artists with a strong local following has helped increase our audiences. As we plan for future seasons, guest artists' ability to bring their own fans to our concerts will be a larger factor in our decision-making. Both the March and May concerts were free and open to the public. Our concert venue, the Wayzata High School Auditorium is accessible to those with physical disabilities. The Board of Directors remains committed to presenting concerts free of charge and in accessible venues. Approximately 120 people attended each concert versus our goal of 150 per concert. We were pleased that we attracted more applicants to the Young Artist Competition than in years past. Our audience continues to be pleased with their concert experience and band members continue to provide us with positive feedback about their experiences with the band.",,3261,"Other, local or private",8261,,"Erin Kirsling, Travis Kramer, Leah Yotter, Richard Frevert, Tanya Williams, Randy Olson, David Elmhirst",0.00,"Plymouth Concert Band","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for their 2016 Winter and Spring band concerts featuring a special guest artist and the winner from the high school music competition at the Spring concert.

The involvement of senior audiences will be tallied by the number of performances and audience estimates as well as audience size estimates for public concerts where free will offerings also are evidence of the general public appreciation of the Rockers music.","Yes, we think we achieved our goals. We had 73 paid members during this project with some 40-50 participating at every performance. Rehearsals are well attended, with some 50-60 members each week. Because we are a community based senior chorus, there is no expectation that every member attend every rehearsal or performance. The biggest challenge at the beginning of the project was that our accompanist had a stroke, and we needed to find a new one. We continue to sing a variety of music and to have one to three small ensembles or soloists sing at each performance. Members work hard to learn new music all the time, while maintaining a repertoire for on-going sing outs. We exceeded our expectations this year because our community Holiday Concert was on a day where the sub-zero temperatures left us afraid we would be singing to the walls. But, no. We were delighted to still have some 600+ attend. We continue to be asked back by the State Fair, municipal parks, and for the first time were asked to sing at the American Swedish Institute. We changed our advertising to senior clubs and residences by sending out a brochure instead of a letter. We reached the anticipated number of seniors and actually extended our public exposure by singing Parker's Lake and Minnehaha Park. We continue to advertise in local paper. At our gig on February 14, the resident who emceed our performance was in tears at the end of our show that closed with a moving rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. When we leave, individuals in the audience invariably thank us. But, most of all, being asked back to a venue tells us the audience enjoyed our performance.",,10290,"Other, local or private",15290,,"Janice Hannaman, Jim Goetzt, Lynne Ferguson, Ron Schulte, Faye Knowles, Barb Fallstad",0.00,"Plymouth Rockers","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for 25 choral performances in the metropolitan area at senior residences, senior assisted living/nursing homes, community activity centers and churches, and two one-and-one-half hour concerts for the public.

We will have a member of the Advisory Committee 1) Counting numbers of people for the event and 2) Getting quotes from them about their experience and who they have spoken to at the event.","Goal 1: To support poets in the creation of new work by commissioning 10 diverse poets to write a poem inspired by the long light of summer and the current events that they want to struggle with or celebrate. We were successful in commissioning 10 new poems from powerful poets. It is exciting to ask poets to write new poems specifically for this event because the poets can create really relevant new work that grapples with the current news. For example poet Sun Yung Shin created an erasure poem from a New York Times article about the shooting in Orlando. This allows the event to be a place where not only can people luxuriate in community, but they can also process/express their feelings about very current issues. 2: To strengthen community ties by offering a free, bi-lingual unique event during our precious summer season that allows people to be fed good food and beautiful language. Our Spanish speaking poetry reader was wonderful and partnered with several poets whose poems she had received translations for and walked around with them, allowing the poetry to go back and forth from English to Spanish. This was a treat for everyone, regardless of what language they spoke/understood. 3) To celebrate the powerful voices of racially, culturally, intergenerational, local poets while giving them an opportunity to witness and support each other’s work. We had a diverse group of poets who not only had meaningful exchanges with attendees but also stopped to listen to each other's poems, allowing them to connect with one another and be inspired by each other's work. All of them asked to do this event again next year! 4) To highlight the talents of local bakers. The pies! We had 30 pies that each had a distinct personality and flavor of their very own. A few of the pie makers are wanting to start their own pie making business and they were able to network and get future customers! 4) To stretch poets and audiences comfort zones by presenting poems in new ways that breaks down barriers, inspiring conversation and connection. This year, all of the poets commented on how many in-depth conversations poets had with attendees about the subject matter in their poems. To design an event that encourages diverse community members to interact meet each other. We had several people write in our reflections book that they made new connections and met up with old neighbors or were introduced to new ones. We believe this particular goal is the one this event succeeds at consistently. Once again this year we had a beautifully diverse audience/participant base. However, we were missing people who spoke Spanish as their first language. We created a postcard in English and Spanish and truly made the event a bi-lingual event, translating the poems into Spanish. We reached out to key leaders in the Latino organizing community through the Neighborhood Association, Central Area Neighborhood Development Organization, Alondra Cano's office, and other individual community organizers to let them know about the event and also sent out a Spanish email blast. We will continue to make this event a bi-lingual event and continue to build relationships with Latino/Spanish speaking residents year after year. We were able to make this event accessible to all ages and physical abilities and celebrated and welcomed a very diverse group of participants. 200 people attended. Audience and poet surveys were extremely positive and also reflected evidence that people are beginning to see this as part of their annual traditions and look forward to it year after year.",,1500,"Other, local or private",6500,,"Vanessa Fuentes, J Otis Powell, Moheb Soliman, Mire Regulus",0.00,"People for Poetry","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to host the fourth annual Poetry and Pie Picnic in Powderhorn, a solstice celebration featuring a diverse group of poets and pie bakers from Central and Powderhorn neighborhoods.

We will creatively survey the participants and audience members during the event. In addition, we will have a special survey, with room for comment, for the residents of 3200-3400 17th Avenue.","Below are the goals we established for PorchFest and how we believe we achieved them: 1) Provides a performance opportunity for local emerging and established artists. We had 21 groups participate this year with a combination of emerging and established. All of the groups live, play, or work within five miles of the festival. Because of the diverse array of musicians, dance groups, and spoken word groups, each artist performed for new audiences, increasing their exposure to future fans and also meeting other musicians who shared their community-based values. Something we will change/add in the future is working with more curators. We would like to have 4 - one for each porch. This will help us bring in more new artists as well as reach more community members. 2) Increases access to the arts through music and poetry: We believe that traditional barriers to arts participation include difficulty in traveling to an arts event or venue, cost, or lack of family-friendly atmosphere that allows families to experience art together. Porchfest addresses all of these barriers by having an event that starts at 4 pm (allowing families with younger children to participate), that has no costs or fees involved, and that takes place in the streets where people live and can walk to experience. Something to add for next year is to continue to get more input from community members in general for the event. 3) Works to build connection among neighbors across perceived lines of gender, age, race/culture, and ability: This is a huge area of success for Porchfest, specifically with the artists-audience connection. We have a great diversity of bands/musical genres, people can walk down two blocks and hear four different types of music. We had participating musicians from the GLBT, African-American, Latino/a, Native American, White, Mixed, differently abled communities and more. Audience participation is high for families, elders, inter-generational access. To improve in future years: reaching Immigrant populations who live close, people who aren’t on certain social media circles, working with curators from missing audience groups. The diversity of the neighborhoods is represented through the musicians, and there is still work to be done with the audience participation. The successful piece of Porchfest 2016 was the participation of families and neighbors, the inter-generational participation, and a new partnership with Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Pillsbury House and Theatre. We increased our outreach this year with bi-lingual fliers and information in the neighborhood publications. We also had one new curator – a community member and previous Porchfest musician, Carlos Lumbi. The shared curation was a successful collaboration. We recognize the name carries a certain connotation with it of a more white-demographic, blue-grassy vibe. We notice that as new people experience Porchfest each year, they are surprised at the musical diversity – the audience demographics have been slowly but steadily shifting towards greater representation of the neighborhood demographics. This is something we will continue to work towards in marketing and during the event. Visions for the future include arriving at four curators. Also, we hope to increase opportunities for new, emerging, local food vendors to use Porchfest as a jumping off point. We will continue and deepen our partnership with Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association as a way to reach more of the local community members. To paraphrase Thomas X, Porchfest artist: This is what’s possible when we believe anything is possible. We are creating the community we know is possible and reclaiming our streets and neighborhoods. September is perfect for this event: a final celebration of summer and a transition into the fall.

Artists will take an audience count at the beginning of each performance and give post-performance feedback on their ability to collaborate with naturalists and how comfortable they are creating a one-person puppet show.","We met all of the goals as written in the original proposal with the exception of creating “one-person puppet shows.” For the goals that we did meet, it worked well to partner with Silverwood Park as a center for the arts and environment because they helped support us in our marketing efforts. It also helped us reach an audience that would appreciate both the artistry of the puppetry as well as the information in each show about the natural world. It also worked very well for us to partner with professional naturalists when writing our productions. It helped us research each of the animals that we had selected as a show topic more thoroughly. Often, the information that we found was just as much as the naturalists knew about a given topic, but we would not have researched as thoroughly if they had not been part of the project. Work with the naturalists also helped us to embed the information more subtly into the shows. For example, one of the shows presented information about birds in its initial writing in a way where characters were reading directly from an encyclopedia. The naturalists helped us brainstorm ways to create more realistic and interesting dialogue so it did not seem like we were just dryly listing facts and information. For the goal of making “quality one-person puppet shows by developing a system for feedback and peer review throughout the artistic process,” we met the spirit of the goal as originally written. In particular, we did develop a system of feedback and peer review. We also made sure that each production was the artistic voice of one artist. However, two of the productions added an additional puppeteer, and one of the productions had a technician to run lights, so we did not follow this goal to the letter. The system of review that we set up was to make six meeting where all of us were present to give each other feedback on ideas. Artistically, this worked very well for us because it is incredibly inspiring to create work alongside other artists. It also helped for us to give feedback and suggestions for how to solve technical problems. We only faced two challenges with this project: the timeframe in which the shows were created, and we could have used a larger budget. Because of the amount of time it took for us to know that we had received the grant, many of the artists involved in the project had already booked up their schedule in the spring and summer because they primarily work as independent contractors. If we were to do the project again, we would propose a timeline in the fall/winter when they tend to have less independent contract work and more time to create. We would also find a way to expand the budget in order to accommodate hiring more artists. We would also create a take-home study guide for kids to have more thought and reflection after the shows. In the initial grant narrative we described our intended community as people who are interested in both arts programming and nature education programming. This audience is primarily the audience that we did have. We were successfully able to get this audience because of Silverwood’s focus as a center for the art and environmental education. We also defined our audience as the tightly knit world of puppetry. This is true because we did end up with members of the puppetry community of Minneapolis attend productions and give feedback on performances. The audience that we anticipated benefiting included adults between 25 and 64 and pre-K children and youth. This was true with our actual audience because of the way that we marketed the puppet shows through Three Rivers. We also anticipated that at least 200 audience members would attend over all of the performances. The final number of audience that did attend was 229, so we slightly exceeded our anticipated audience count. Our outreach efforts reflected the diversity that is present at Silverwood. We had a diversity of age ranges and we had some audience members who were primarily interested in nature education and some audience members who were primarily interested in art. We also had some who were interested equally in both art and nature. If we wanted to reach a more diverse audience in the future, then we may find a way to reach out to specific members of other communities or find a different geographic location to hold performances in order to include a more diverse audience. We met the goals of making this project accessible and open to all who wanted to participate by not charging for tickets and relying, instead, on a suggested donation for entrance to the production. If anyone would have been unable to access a production because of their inability to pay for tickets, they were able to come to these shows. In this project three new puppet shows were created and 229 audience members were able to experience the work of three different puppet artists. Also, audience surveys showed that 100% of audience members agreed or strongly agreed that they learned something new about owls, swallows, or loons, and that the performances were well-crafted, well-performed, and entertaining.",,1250,"Other, local or private",6250,,"Julie Boada, David Donovan, Seth Eberle, Alyssa Riggs, Anne Sawyer-Aitch, Amelia Shoptaugh",0.00,"Puppets 'n' People","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Things with Wings, a series of three new, family-friendly puppetry performances focused on educating audiences about the natural world.

35979,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Quantitatively, we hope to engage 30 artists and 400 audience members, 20% of which are new patrons (an increase of 5% from last year). Qualitatively, we hope to once again offer Twin Cities art patrons the highest quality and most diverse offering of jazz and rhythm-driven dance the area has to offer. We will evaluate the success of our proposed outcomes by surveying audience members and program participants. We will then analyze the data to gain insights to allow for improvement the next time we run the program.","Rhythmically Speaking 2016 yielded successes and challenges in the face of the goals we set forth to accomplish in producing the program. Among the successes were continuation of the organization's mission to support practitioners of jazz and rhythm-driven dance by providing them space, funding, marketing and audience development for their work. Fulfillment of this aim continues to increase; the artists selected for this year's jazz and rhythm-driven choreography showcase received stipends of $1200, up from Fiscal Year 2013's $1000 and Fiscal Year 2012's $800. This is the highest stipend paid to choreographers out of all similar events in the Twin Cities dance community, something of which we are very proud. Rhythmically Speaking is working hard to continue providing increasingly meaningful stipends. Receipt of this funding also allowed us to better the production elements of the show, hiring quality technical staff to bring the Southern Theater space alive not only with great rhythm-driven dance, but also excellent light and sound atmosphere. Personnel-related successes include the ability to fund the Artistic Director's hourly programming, marketing and development work. The goal of the production audience containing at least 20% new viewers was also met, and we engaged 35 artists (5 more than goal) and 396 attendees, just about the 400 we hoped to engage. The artists and audience truly engaged with the challenge to innovate within the territory of ‘jazz and rhythm-driven dance,’ resulting in a production rich in cultural diversity and forward thinking. This year’s choreographers stepped up to the challenge, delivering a diverse range of work that spoke to the ability of jazz and rhythm-driven dance forms to reflect upon serious topics including protest and loss. This variety and depth is a testament to our success in widely spreading word of this opportunity throughout dance community and reaching artists of high calibers. Artistic challenges included the logistics of hosting out of town guests on a budget; we continue to consider how we can best support bringing in guest artists, including the possibility of setting aside travel funding beyond the offered stipend. We also experienced challenge in dealing with audience members who were not conducting themselves appropriately for viewing theater (speaking loudly while the production was in progress). This challenge has caused us to consider more deeply how we language box office information. Based upon audience surveys, Rhythmically Speaking is successfully engaging our creating community (45% of the audience identified themselves as a 'Dancer', 20% as a 'Choreographer'). We also managed to beat our goal of having 20% of our audience be new attendees! 20% quoted reading an article or media piece as their reason for coming. We have also been focused on drawing in people with interests related to jazz and rhythm-driven dance, such as hip-hop dance and jazz music. 30% of responders said they attend live music at least monthly, and 80% gave a 9 or 10 (10 being high) when asked how likely they'd be to recommend the show to a friend, so we are hopeful that new audiences will continue to connect with us. It is important to us that our programming is accessible, so we promoted the opportunity widely throughout the dance community and also took care to select an ADA accessible venue located along public transit routes. Admissions were priced to balance paying the artists a reasonable stipend while providing an affordable experience to audiences. We feel that our general ticket rate of $24 was reasonable in line with this goal, and we also offered student rush rates and volunteer opportunities. One challenge we experienced again being at the Southern Theater was a shortage of parking, exacerbated by the opening of U.S. Bank Stadium and concert events that happened there during three out of our four shows. We also again found challenge in ensuring our measures for making the production accessible to people with physical disabilities were utilized. We allocated $300 in our budget toward providing an audio-described performance, and while we took great lengths to spread the word, maintaining regular contact with VSA Minnesota, we received no interest in the service. We will continue to work toward best practices for engaging the disabled community, and are considering creating an element of programming that will enable us to connect to special needs students in public schools. The strongest long-term benefits we believe our participants took away are the relationships they built and public exposure for their creative work. For audiences, short-term connection to their bodies can translate into long-term desires to seek out such opportunities again. Viewing the show challenges them to fall whole-heartedly into an artistic experience that connects them to their eyes, ears and hearts. The audience stepped up to the challenge, providing feedback indicating they were moved. In summary, the most significant outcomes resulting from the completion of this project include a continually expanding base of new audience members engaging with our programming, a deepening of our support of artists innovating in jazz and rhythm-driven dance and a developed capacity to select artists exploring subject matter with great depth.",,11000,"Other, local or private",16000,,"Katie LeBlanc Gamades, Erinn Liebhard, Caitlin Milligan Shaefer, Nikki Otten, Zoe Sealy, Heather Westerlund",0.00,"Rhythmically Speaking","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the eighth annual showcase featuring dances created by five to nine local emerging and established Twin Cities Jazz and rhythm-driven choreographers.

ArtBlast will attract 2500 participants. We will evaluate our success based on participation/attendance as compared with previous years. We will do exit surveys at all events with a goal of 90/5 favorable ratings of the events.","We believe we did achieve our artistic goals. Our goals were as follows: 1. Provide high quality artistic experiences within our budget limitations. We believe we met this goal, although the attendance was not as high as anticipated in some of the events. The comic classes were cancelled due to lack of registrations. These were among the very few events that required a fee. 2. We targeted 50% of the artists would be local Rosemount or Dakota County artists. This goal was nearly met with 46% being local artists. 3. Provide a wide variety of arts experiences. We believe we met this goal. However, due to budget constraints, we were not able to sponsor the fiddle contest or the multi-cultural day. We did, however, add an art and author fair with 24 participant artists, 90% of which reported high satisfaction with this first time event. 4. Provide educational opportunities to attendees. We believe we achieved this goal in having provided 23 hands-on artistic experiences to groups of all ages. 5. Enable artists to work locally, building their local presence and building a higher profile of the arts in Rosemount. Since we nearly met our goal of having 50% local artists, we believe we also met this goal. The strengths of our process was to have several artists from several artistic disciplines selecting and vetting the participating artists. We were also able to draw on some of the more popular artists from prior ArtBlast years (e.g. ""brought back by popular demand""). We believe that focusing on a broad variety of arts presented and the educational opportunities were positive aspects of our process. Once again, we identified that we need more discipline around our time tables. We need to begin earlier with our fundraising and our marketing. We had these things right in our plan, but life seemed to get in the way, and we ran behind, creating a huge rush and lots of stress at the end of the process. Some of this is a function of having to rely totally on volunteer help. In our debrief, we recommitted to keeping to our schedule in the future. We did reach much of our intended community as far as audience/participants. We were able to observe that much of our audience/participants were older adults. We estimate that approximately 25% of our participants were in this older category. Rosemount is 81% white, 6 Black, 5% Asian, 5% Hispanic. We probably attracted 90-95% white participants. In debriefing with our diversity consultant, we did discuss that the younger people in our community (especially elementary school age) are more diverse than the adult population. It is the adult population that generally make the decisions on family entertainment. We have identified this as an area where we need to continue to work on better outcomes. We planned to have 5 individual artists of color and were only able to engage one artist of color. We have also identified this as an area we need to work on. We were able to attract approximately 5% disabled persons. With respect to our expected Populations Benefitting, we did not attract as many young adults as anticipated. We did have about 25% children and 25% older adults. This was probably due to the programming. We really, in retrospect, did not pay a lot of attention to providing programming specifically to young adults. We did focus on providing programming specifically geared to children and older adults. One metric we could not measure was how many people of lower income we were able to attract as this is not a metric that can be observed. We did market to the Rosemount Family Resource Center and 360 Communities, so we are assuming that the word did get out to that community. We were able to meet our goals of having most of our events free of charge, making ArtBlast accessible to lower income families. We also had very accessible venues where all people would be comfortable and feel welcome -- Central Park Amphitheater, the local library and the Steeple Center, which is a community gathering place, and also houses the Rosemount Area Seniors group. Our most significant outcome was being able to offer a wide variety of arts to about 2500 people, including about 25% older adults and 5% disabled people. By exit interviews, we estimate that more than 90% of participants were satisfied with their experiences at ArtBlast. Of all the artists represented, we only had two who were not satisfied with their experience.

Pros: Rosemount Central Park was a beautiful venue for hosting an all-day music festival. Holding the music in conjunction with the art fair doubled the visitors. Lots of volunteers showed up to help out. Cons: Starting at 11:30 was a mistake; it was a hot day and there was insufficient shade in the main amphitheater. Attendance wasn't what we hoped for; post event analysis indicates that this was a factor of heat and time of day. Do Different: Start the event late afternoon/early evening. It would be cooler, the sun angle would result in more shade, and daytime kid’s activities would be over. Look at having fewer bands, but bigger names. Consider splitting event over two nights While we hope to attract larger crowds, we are satisfied that we reached our target audiences; 1) the citizens of Rosemount and surrounding communities, and 2) local musicians.

Cultural connections during the series were achieved by attracting audience members from different cultures and by presenting artists from distinctive world regions. Also, the audience had many opportunities to interact with each other and with the performers. Examples included Brazilian audience members teaching others how to dance and a Caribbean band handing out percussion instruments for audience members to play along. Many of the events presented integrated art forms such as music types, musical instrument craftsmanship, traditional dance styles, storytelling through dance, world cuisine, and costume design. Even within a specific cultural identity, many of the performances represented different aspects of that culture, such as French cabaret singing and Cajun music sung in a French ""patois"". The audience attending our Live at the Rog series has become increasingly diverse, especially at the Global Adventures events. In the estimated vs actual Populations Benefiting section above, the actual results showed some differences from the estimated. This is mostly due to our misreading the original question indicating groups that made up ""25% or more"" of the population.

The music and dance were great. We had to cut one of the open rehearsal events due to a double booking but those sessions were interesting for performers and attendees. The original intent at Salsa Fiesta was to also include world premieres of new music at the rehearsals and this event as part of a supporting award from the Jerome Foundation. That funding was pending though and didn't come through. On the other hand, the core band Charanga Tropical exceeded expectation by returning from a tour to Cuba with a new CD of music. The event became a Salsa Fiesta and CD release event which was very cool and attracted a different kind of attention and word of mouth. What worked was the project design, the idea of gathering the best musicians from the best Latin bands and putting them all onstage. The mix of energy and talent was incredible. What didn't work so well was trying to coordinate so many performers. Two of the three dance groups couldn't put enough members on the floor the present a show. We overbooked the evening of music and dance and some of the numbers that were practiced didn't get played. A lead guest singer called the night of the performance to say she was in Houston, Texas and wouldn't be there. Both the strength and weakness of this project is the variety and number of performers. It creates amazing music but can cause logistical problems. If done over again, would select repertoire and have rehearsals earlier in the Spring. Would consider paying some performers a deposit to have them lock in the date. We did reach our community. We came up just a few dozen short of our attendance goal but our mix of Salsa music fans was right on. Our estimation of population benefiting was correct. Our outreach efforts were a combination of new media (Facebook, emails, etc.) and old media (handing out flyers at other salsa events). This mixed worked really well. We kept our ticket price low, $15/$20 and had a great mix of people to participate. We had some challenges giving away 70 tickets to those who would attend but could not otherwise afford a ticket price. In the future we will start early, in late winter, to identify the best organizations or individuals to receive the comp tickets. Quantitative: we had an audience of 439 plus more than 27 musicians.

Participating artist's survey will find out if the artists liked our new four theme entry categories or if we should return to the common media categories that we have used in the past years. The evaluation process will include an artist survey to gauge how well the four-theme categories were accepted. By looking through the registration database we will hopefully determine if there was a significant expansion of artist participation in surrounding metropolitan counties compared to last year.","Our challenge was to provide a realistic, convenient, and artistic venue for local and regional artists to share and exhibit their artwork. The process contained an online application, a pre-event jury process, artwork delivery and showcase venue, in-person judging by three judges, a public reception and awards announcement, delivery of artwork to local businesses and city offices, public display for 30 days, and concluded with the artwork returned to artists. We planned to increase our participating artists and increase the number of pieces of artwork entered through an increased digital advertising and artist contact and new artwork categories. Unfortunately we did not achieve our artistic goals this year. Our number of participating artists dropped from 70 artists in 2015 to 49 artists this year. Our total artwork pieces fell from 111 to 81 pieces this year. After a five year gain, this year was our first downswing. Despite the lower numbers, through artist and community feedback we feel that we had a number of successes. This year we moved the art collection, judging, reception to a more public venue of the Cherrywood Pointe Senior Living Center in Savage. We had great collaboration with the management at Cherrywood which allowed us a 4-days special showing of all the artwork in one highly accessible room. Over 100 residents of this independent living facility were able to view the artwork and participate in the awards ceremony. This did effectively increase of community contact and awareness to a new group of people and we received many positive comments from them. For the first year we were able to utilize our new location at the Savage Library for artwork pickup (just across the street from the Cherrywood) and artists got a chance to visit our gallery and classrooms. We expect this to have a positive impact to the awareness of our group and its mission of bringing art to the community. Although we are still researching to determine why our overall artist and artwork numbers were down, we suspect, but can’t yet confirm, that it could be related to one or more of these factors: Moving the competition and show dates back one month from our previous time frames. Changing our artwork categories from medium based to artistic focus/content. Raising our entry fees by approximately 20%. Reducing the amount of printed advertising through local newspapers. We believe some of these factors may have adversely affected our planned and expected growth. We are continuing to reach out to the artists and the community to solicit feedback to determine future changes. It is quite possible there were just too many changes this year and we may need to return one or more factors to previous conditions. We continue to have growing support from the business community, the local artist community and within the Savage Arts Council and have confidence we can continue to offer artistic opportunities. We successfully reached a bigger cross section of the community by moving our awards reception to a more public display at Cherrywood. This also increased the number of people who had a chance to see the artwork. We had approximately 70% of the artists attend the awards ceremony, up from previous years. At the previous location (the Environmental Learning Center) the artwork as up only for the day of the ceremony and even though it is a great display location, it limited exposure due the limited time. This was the first year we could leave the entire display up and accessible for 4 days during the judging and ceremony times. Effectively this gave us an additional community venue during the show. Our estimated population benefitting was as we predicted even though we believe there was an increase in the two areas of individuals with disabilities and individuals in institutions. However not enough of a change to warrant a 25% increase in any one area. This year we reached out the American Indian population through the Mystic Lake community hoping to involve them more with our competition and show venue. They indicated an interest and informed their community but did not actively participate in a display venue. We look forward to continuing to build this relationship. We did get a few more participating artists from that cultural group. Use of the Cherrywood Pointe facility to host the entire competition, show and ceremony in a more public place that had the extra added benefit of providing accessibility to hundreds of people who may not have otherwise had the chance.

Our Artists got to interact directly with the audience as the story was being told. During the post-show discussion with the audience, many patrons said they learned a lot about the shows and were able to reflect on how it impacted their lives and their own stories. Several audience members talked directly with the cast about how it influenced them or challenged their frames of reference. There was also much discussion after the shows with comments such as, “why isn’t this done more often?” amongst both cast AND patrons. We successfully helped the theatre-going community get closer to the issues being addressed by the musicals by getting closer to the material and physically closer to the acting community. Many people said it was their first time seeing the shows/ hearing the stories come to life. Second Fiddle also gave the audience get a better understanding of how a show is produced by giving a brief speech beforehand and also fostering audience/ actor discussion at intermission and after the show. We also provided Twin Cities’ performers with an opportunity to pursue dream roles and get direct feedback from the audience after performances. Twin Cities' music Director Kyle Picha got to play Gordon Schwinn, dream role for him in A New Brain. Kyle is usually utilized behind the piano and he got to show audiences his singing and acting chops, to which Cherry and Spoon said ""It was a treat to find out he's also a wonderful leading man."" It helped to send a follow-up email to cast members to ask what they enjoyed about the Second Fiddle experience and also what we could improve upon. Loads of people asked for more rehearsal time, but unfortunately without a more expensive contract with Actors Equity we can't ask actors to rehearse additional hours. However, we found that lots of people, Equity and Non-Equity volunteered to meet on their own time outside of Second Fiddle rehearsal to work on the material. This ultimately helped the shows, so our music directors have all made an announcement during the first rehearsal telling actors if they want additional rehearsal time that the MD would be open to helping outside of rehearsal hours. Second Fiddle successfully reached the community it intended to and we were always looking to expand our circle of artists and audience. We were aiming for those who loved musicals and wouldn’t get a chance to see them otherwise as well artists who want to pursue dream roles and learn new shows. A dramaturg was hired at the top of the season to do 3 informational packets for directors and cast about the show as well as program inserts for the audience. We gave the audience an informational flyer in the program of a shows history and the director also gave a brief history before the show. There was a great energy from the audience and artists alike that people were just excited to hear the story come to life. We also found that having an opportunity for audience to speak directly with actors opened up individual conversations about the show, process and story. Giving the audience the option to read about the show at their leisure was a treat, and some audience members actually emailed the artistic director after the production stating ""It was so nice to have additional facts to look at when we got home"". We made our project accessible by considering submissions of actors who may play against ""type casting"". One of our actors in A New Brain is supposed to be played by a man, but we gave the opportunity to a woman. Also, we reached out to a senior play-reading group who then attended every show. This created a lovely diversity of age in our audience. We are hoping to continue to have diversity onstage, both in age and race - giving opportunity to those who might otherwise get passed over for certain roles. We had 319 people total attend and were pleased that 1/3 to 1/2 of that audience was made up of seniors from various areas of the Twin Cities community who were just as eager as the younger crowd to learn about these rare musicals. We have a fantastic outcome this year. 50% of our artists this year were NEW artists to Second Fiddle (22 out of 43 artists were first time ""Fiddlers"".) We also saw our record attendance at August's performance with 175 audience members. 100% of artists said that they would love to be in or involved with another Second Fiddle show in the future and that it was beneficial for them to participate.",,3200,"Other, local or private",8200,,"James McGrath, Holly Dolejsi, Robbie Droddy, Rob Goudy",0.00,"Second Fiddle Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to produce a series of staged readings of three musicals that examine social issues relevant today, including A New Brain, Chess and 110 in the Shade.

We will be using program participant count and the audience count at the showcase. In addition, we will be surveying all the participants and staff.","Overall, we felt like our artistic goals were met. In three days, 27 women came together to learn an instrument, form a band, see performances of local musicians, take workshops on recording and gear, and play a showcase. Every woman that attended Ladies Rock Camp performed in the final showcase and 100% of participants reported back that their confidence in playing in a band and playing with others increased either a lot (rated 4 out of 5) or a ton (rated 5 out of 5). Although we did not reach our goal of having 36 participants, we still increased our participants from 21 in 2015 to 27 this year. Additionally, we increased the number of bands formed from 4 in 2015 to 6 this year. We also increased the amount of female instructors from last year. In 2015, we had 8 folks who worked all-day for the weekend and 4 folks who worked during instrument class only. This year, we changed all staff to a full-day position and we had 14 staff instructors. This helped us create a great student to teacher ratio (around 3:1) which helped the students increase their knowledge on their instrument and on songwriting. We also vamped up our curriculum and had written out precise goals for each instrument class and band rehearsal. Because of this, the teachers were able to create an environment to help the students learn in the fast time of three days. We were also able to create a very welcoming, safe and empowering environment which is something that the participants noted and applauded. 100% of participants indicated that they would come to this camp again as well as recommend it to others. We also have some areas of improvement for next year. We got a lot of feedback from participants stating that they would like more instrument instruction time. So, we are going to offer the options for campers to sign up for private instruction before and after camp on Saturday and before camp on Sunday. That will give them more time to hone in their instrument skills at a more intimate level with the instructor. Also, there were a few moments where campers’ attitudes were tricky for teachers to navigate. For example, we had a situation where a student was getting frustrated in her band because she had a more advanced skill level then the rest of her band. The teachers felt like they didn’t know how best to handle the situation and so they ignored a lot of her behavior. Next year, we plan to have teachers role play different scenarios that might come up during camp at our teacher training. This will help the teachers practice different conflict resolution methods. Overall, we felt like we provided an outstanding experience for our participants. 100% of participants noted that they would continue playing music as a result of this camp. In fact, one the bands that was formed at camp, Hot Flash, has continued playing as a band together. And, many other participants have continued on with private instruction from the teachers they worked with at camp. We felt like we were very successful in reaching our intended community. We had initially intended to reach 36 participants with the thought that approximately 50% of participants would be between the ages of 40-55, 35% would identify as LGBTQIA and 30% would have never played their instrument before. We ended up serving 27 participants. Although we had less sign ups than we expected, we still grew from last year. Out of those participants, 75% of them were between the ages of 40-55. We think this is fantastic because there are very few programs dedicated to teaching arts to women of this age group-- and no music programs that we know of that do this. Also, 42% of program participants identified as LGBTQIA which means our outreach to that community was well worth it. 100% of participants reported that the camp felt safe for LGTBQIA folks so are excited to continue work in the LGBTQIA community as an artistic resource and outlet. Our teachers were also a diverse community. Approximately 45% of teachers identify as LBTQIA. Additionally they had the age range of 22-57. One area of improvement we have for this program is to create more racial and ethnic diversity. Only 8% of our teachers and 8% of our students identified as a race/ethnicity other than white/Caucasian. We are in the process of creating a diversity and inclusion committee on our board to discuss this issue and create strategies to be more accessible to communities of color. Overall, we felt like we did a great job at making this program open to all participants. No participant was turned away due to an inability to pay and 20% of participants received financial aid and/or sliding fee. Additionally, we made the program open to participants of all instrumental ability. About 42% of participants reported that they had never played their instrument before participating in camp. Many of these folks were able to borrow an instrument after camp as well, so their learning can be continued. 27 women attended camp and each participant wrote at least one song that they performed at the final showcase. 42% of these participants had never played their instrument before camp, 39% had some instrument experience (6 months-2 years) and 19% had a lot of experience (3+ years) on their instrument. 100% of participants reported that they would participate in this program again.",,11475,"Other, local or private",16475,,"Lisa Whitney, Candi Ince, Shannon McCarville, Jennifer Smith",0.00,"She Rock She Rock","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Ladies Rock Camp, a three-day music camp for women ages 19 and older.

The organization would like to introduce at least three new works to the audience community, in support of the work of today's composers. The Singers board will evaluate based on ticket tally and internal concert review, as well as a brief audience survey. Artistic Director Matthew Culloton and the four section leaders will evaluate the artistic product throughout the entire preparation and performance process.","The Singers' Composers Lab was one of the artistic highlights of the 2015-2016 Season. The choir presented more new works than originally intended, sang for a very appreciative audience, included new technologies into the concert, and performed at a world class level. It was an evening that connected our audiences to the composers and music-making process in ways we had not yet accomplished in our subscription concert programming. The Singers successfully created an experience that was part concert and part workshop. The composers spoke to the audience before their new works were performed, and Artistic Director Matthew Culloton also shared on-the-spot insight into the works. Instead of printing scores for each audience members, a 12x12 ft screen and projector shared the music with the audience in an attempt to save the resource of paper. Audience feedback was very positive because of the intimate Sundin Hall venue at Hamline. The use of this technology is being explored for future use as both an environmentally-friendly choice, as well as a cost savings to the organization. Our guest composers who also shared comments with the audience were Craig Carnahan, Timothy Takach, Linda Kachelmeier, and Tesfa Wondemagegnehu. The choir shared the world premiere of newly-composed works written for this occasion. The choir also premiered a new work by Robert Sieving and a collection of pieces written for The Singers by former Composer-in-Residence Joshua Shank. The programming and pacing of the night was very successful, and audience members were very excited by the diversity of music performed on a ""new music"" concert. No changes to the programming aspect will be necessary in the future. Craig Carnahan's new work allowed for a collaboration with members of the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus and OneVoice Mixed Chorus, two of the metro's LGBTQ organizations. Carnahan's new work was about the human rights atrocities toward the homosexual population in Uganda, and the work's librettist was also in attendance. In the future, we would like even more collaborative time built into the rehearsal process because it was such a positive experience for us to join singers from other ensembles for such a powerful project. The inclusion of a work that tackles these social issues deepened the experience of our artists and our audience. The other strengths of the project dealt with the artistic ability to mount this project in a relatively compact period of time. In fact, in the future, we may explore a similar project and rehearse in a more compact timeframe. This would allow the organization to keep the project on the calendar while minimizing the impact on the remainder of the season. We know that many audience members were insistent that we keep repeating Composers Lab on an annual basis, so we would like to consider that in the near future. The audience for this event was as diverse a population as any we have sung for this season. That diversity was represented in age, race, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. We are proud to report that the audience, artists, and collaborators reflected who we hoped to impact while developing this program. The one difference from the proposed plan was fewer 19-24 year olds in the audience than we estimated. Our primary marketing outside of the postcards and social media efforts is our relationship with Minnesota Public Radio, and it is likely that the demographics of listeners to that station do not reach a lot of the 19-24 year old audience members. Another reason for diversity in the audience came out of the premiere of Craig Carnahan's ""Until the Struggle is Won"" and the musical collaboration with the Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus and One Voice Mixed Chorus. Aside from members of those ensembles, we also had a number of people from Wingspan Ministry, a local group that actively supports the homosexual community in Uganda, especially offering support during the time of human rights atrocities that are occurring there now. We believe collaborations of this sort in the future will provide more meaningful musical experiences for artists and audience alike. Nearly 150 audience members and 70 artists participated in this inaugural Composers Lab program. Access to four composers and the conductor during the event heightened the audience's experience and access to new music.",,11389,"Other, local or private",16389,,"Maureen Armstrong, Craig Carnahan, Alan Beck, Kathy Donlan Tunseth, Connie Foote, Liesl Koehnen, Justin Madsen, Luther Ranheim, Jackie Steele, Erika Gesme, Matthew Culloton",0.00,"Singers Minnesota Choral Artists AKA The Singers-Minnesota Choral Artists","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to support The Composers Lab, a concert and workshop event that puts new music on stage in front of an audience that is holding the music and taking part in a running dialogue with the artists.

The three artistic goals of remounting EX were to: intimately engage audiences in a casual setting by foregoing confessional or memoir formats to explore themes of family, memory, and loss through an unusual structure based on a contemporary alternative song, provide our audiences with a local opportunity to engage with challenging, meaningful, interdisciplinary devised work, and to provide the artists involved with the challenges of adapting a site-based work to a new site. These artistic goals were achieved. The necessarily small houses (limited to 20 audience members) allowed an intimacy that aligned with the ""sharing"" nature of the performance, and in part due to the performance's more abstract structure, the audience reported empathy and understanding rather than embarrassment or awkward discomfort. The adaptation of a site-created piece for a different site was successful in that we allowed the new site to shift and change the performance, rather than attempting to imitatively recreate the original production. No changes needed to be made. Audiences who hadn't seen the original production came to this production, along with many who had seen the original and were interested in either seeing it again, seeing how it had changed, or both. Given that this was our first performance in our new shared space, in a new neighborhood, our audience didn't reflect the local demographic as much as we had hoped. More preparation and outreach would help in the future. Standing at the door and welcoming everyone who came by helped both to foster a real accessibility and sense of inclusion as well as to begin the performance's intimate exchange. There were some audience members, however, who found this openness uncomfortable and avoided the contact as much as possible. Primarily, the overall outcome of this project was the knowledge and experience of remaking an earlier piece, developed from a particular site to a new one.

In a few other years, we've had a few more countries but with very talented young performers from Italy, Russia, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Jamaica, Turkey, Israel, Vietnam, and China, we were able to give our audiences a good slice of music from other countries to enjoy, digest, and learn from. Moreover, the concert program was well-paced with good variety in the kinds of songs, in the accompanying dances and movement, and in the mix of vocal parts. Audiences at most concerts gave a standing ovation and in post-concert feedback reported a satisfying and unique artistic experience. Overall, there were 72 performers on stage, including 39 new performers aged 8-14, 15 performers returning from past years, 5 adults from five different countries, 5 interns aged 16-18, and 8 staff members aged 18 and above. The company learned and performed 35 songs from 14 countries in 10 languages. Framing the global musical selections were English language songs selected to accomplish certain goals: a medley of songs about rain and sun just to get audiences thinking about the effects of climate change on water resources around the globe, songs with messages about people getting along and living peacefully, a song by a Hmong-American composer to remind audiences that people in the United States come from many different backgrounds, etc. The most common audience reaction: In these troubling times with recent events like the Orlando shootings, the bombings at the Istanbul airport (which occurred just nine days after our Turkish performers went through the same airport), and the Nice truck attack (which occurred the day after the father of one of our Italian staff members was in Nice), the messages of Songs of Hope are more needed than ever. The project reached exactly the mix of the twin Cities community that we proposed. This included adults with developmental disabilities at three agency locations, seniors in five nursing homes, low-income and new immigrant families at four concerts in Saint Paul, two workshops for at-risk youth, and concerts in four suburban locations. The audience at Phalen Lake (through a partnership with East Side Arts Council) grew, as did the audience at a North Dale location. Diversity goals were met though we are in discussions about increasing youth outreach in 2017 and 2018.

The quality of the concerts was outstanding. 86% of choir members responding to a survey rated the concert as ""better than expected,"" and passed on positive comments from themselves and from audience members. The chorale had adequate time to learn the music, with weekly rehearsals and practice files for work at home. The artistic challenge for the choir was learning not only the notes but proper vocal tone, dynamics, and emotional presentation of the work, and significant time was devoted to these areas during rehearsals. Significant time was also devoted to learning the proper German pronunciation for Mendelssohn Psalm 42. Grant funds allowed the hiring of outstanding soloists and orchestral musicians, which added greatly to the professionalism of the performances. The Mendelssohn required a men's quartet. The hired soloists for the quartet also sang the rest of the concert with the full chorale, which added to the strength of our tenor and bass sections. Everything occurred as planned and there would be no significant changes in planning and rehearsing for a future similar project.

By comparing concert attendance and Young Composer Initiative participation with that of 2015 we will be able to evaluate our attempts to increase both numbers.""","Sweet Dreams was designed to create an engaging experience for our singers and our audience members to be absolutely captivated by music. Performers and listeners explored the indescribable powers of music that give us inspiration, motivation, and fantasy through the incredible works by Daniel Brinsmead, Paul Mealor, Eriks Ešenvalds, Eric Whitacre, and Daniel Elder. Sweet Dreams included the second annual Young Composer Initiative. This program created an annual call for scores from composers age 25 or younger with the recipient’s work that was performed on the Sweet Dreams program. This project received a high volume of praise from singers and audience members alike in the music selected for the program. The programming of music creative and many commented on the wonderful flow of the program. The piece ""We Can Mend the Sky"" by Jake Runestad was selected to close the concert and this finale tied in the dream-like theme to the practical application of helping others in our community obtain their dreams. Therefore from an artistic perspective, a high level of music making that was appreciated by our audience members and ensemble members were achieved. The project was also successful in that ensemble members evaluated their level of preparedness to be very high as the entered the concert series. In 2015, the first Young Composer's Competition was created and we were delighted to receive 14 applications. This year, we received 60 submissions from young composers primarily in the USA, but also from around the world. This boost can be attributed to more exposure on choralnet.org and a posting on the American Composer Forum's website. This season, our goal was to transition the family concerts from being hosted in a church to libraries with the intent on reaching a broader population as well as targeting communities that Metropolitan Regional Arts Council describes as Distinct Groups: below the poverty line, individuals with limited English proficiency, and youth at risk. This part of the project was not as successful as we struggled to find libraries that would champion our project and promote it to the youth at their library. However, once the performance was completed, the library staff was overly enthusiastic about our project and very thankful for us to have come. Both concerts were scheduled in a way that would target students when they were naturally at the library, however both concerts were under-attended in respects to our goal outreach. We believe that this outreach has great potential and hope that the libraries will help us continue to grow attendance and impact for the future. Sweet Dreams was successful in providing free concerts to our community at a high level of music artistry. This has been a trademark of The Summer Singers. The support of the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant along with a growing Sustainer group of financial supporters and work of fundraising by the board allowed Sweet Dreams to be completely open and accessible to everyone. Sweet Dreams was successful in reaching our longtime concert supporters with positive concert reviews. Our outreach efforts, specifically the family concerts, were successful at reaching a demographic that is diverse from the race/ethnic background of the majority of our traditional concert attendees. The attendance at our Family Concerts put those that would identify as white/not Hispanic in the minority, however over the span of the entire project, this did not account for at least 25% of the benefitting population. Our marketing strategy for the Family Concerts has been to try and take the music to where a more diverse population may be located. This creates the challenge, especially at the libraries, of finding the best time that the library will be full and leaves the numbers of audience members a little more up to chance. We need to develop more strategies for attracting audience members in the future. The attitude of the ensemble was positive about the project. 85% of singers responded that the season was ""about what I expected"" or ""don't change a thing"" when surveying their overall experience. When asking returning singers how they would rate the level of preparation this year compared to last year, over 85% responded with a 4 or 5, with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor.",,11550,"Other, local or private",16550,,"Helen Lockhart, David Afdahl, Linda Neuman, Patrick Coleman, John Hanson, Dave Nickel, Rebecca Nystuen, Sandie Anderson",0.00,"The Summer Singers, Inc.

We were able to successfully execute the video and sound elements integral to the script. We have a limited working knowledge of video/projection and this proved to be a challenge, but we were able to work with a talented designer and assistant designer for these aspects and overcame that challenge together. Our design team was extremely strong, especially our sound designer/foley artist. He was in the rehearsal process with us from the beginning which proved to be a huge strength to the artistic process. The one aspect we would change is the rehearsal period. We would have liked to have an additional 1-2 weeks of rehearsal before tech. While we saw no decrease we were unsuccessful in our goal of increasing our audience attendance by 10%. We are still trying to determine the cause, however, Swandive had the opening production of the ARTshare program at the Southern Theater in 2015, it is possible that this inflated our numbers. Some other possible reasons include time of year (the run of our show occurred during the first few weeks of nice weather of the summer season), show selection, show title and market saturation. We ran a very successful marketing campaign and saw a slight uptick in community diversity. We will continue in that vein and use feedback from audience surveys to help shape future marketing. We were able to offer a pay what you can night, encouraging people of all economic backgrounds to participate and we still believe the ARTshare model, offered at The Southern Theater, provides some of the best accessibility options to audience members as well.

By working with a booker who is familiar with the local music scene, we were able to bring a number of well-known acts to the stage which, in turn, attracted larger audiences to the events. We were also able to offer opportunities to newer, ""up and coming"" artists which allowed them to play before large audiences. With the exception of two performances that were moved indoors because of rain, all of the concerts took place outdoors and performers commented on how much they enjoyed the experience Informal conversations with audience members indicated that participants enjoyed the experiences and many commented that they attended multiple concerts. We also received compliments and thanks that we were offering such high quality performances to the public for no charge. One of our goals for this program is to serve some of the underserved communities in the park's service area. One of those audiences is senior citizens, who don't attend other park programming in numbers representative of their percentage of the surrounding community. Observation of the concert audiences revealed a large number of seniors present at these concerts (even on a night where the act was a hip hop DJ!) We also hope to attract an increase in participation by members of recent immigrant communities in the area. On a night where we invited a Salsa band to play, our observations of the audience indicated a larger number of Spanish speaking audience members than at other concerts. It's our hope to increase this outreach to non-English speaking audiences in future years. Our audience participation grew from ~5000 participants in 2015 to ~6500 audience members in 2016.

Attending artists were exceptional. They 1) put on professional sets that exceeded their experience, 2) drew impressed crowds in part due to their effort marketing their art (their music), 3) engaged in thoughtful conversations with headlining artists about how to be an artist, how to work with other artists, and realities of amateur versus professional pursuit of art, including touring, recording, practicing, and performing. The pre-show Q and A sessions were a huge hit among the promising young artists and participating headlining musicians. The concerts were exceptional and well-received in-person, on social media, and in correspondence after the show. It's a series we feel like we need to continue and improve. The challenges primarily were securing headlining artists. Though we book 100 show year, many with professional headliners, the cancelation rate for headliners of the Young Musician Series was astonishing and caused us this summer to ask for (and be granted) an extension for our grant period. Instead of booking artists for specific Young Musician Series dates, when we do this again we would 1) go through our normal booking process, 2) identify certain headliners who are interested in our nonprofit's mission as well as working with young people, then 3) turn their already booked show into a Young Musician Series event. We would essentially have a fund of money we would use to turn a concert we already have contracted to turn it into a Young Musician Series show. -Yes and no, we were able to reach many young local artists but we were not able to reach a diverse group of people. A large part of this is due the concert genres that performed (metal and punk) versus those which canceled (hip-hop, hip-hop, pop, and singer-songwriter). The genres whose headliners canceled have a larger percentage of performers and fans who are women and people of color. The estimated population that would benefit versus the population that actually did not change, it was still primarily young people and largely white. We did, however, see fewer women and people of color than we would if our entire concert series had happened as we planned, which would have additionally included two hip-hop shows, a pop show, and a singer-songwriter show. Community diversity is something we work on in our conversations with patrons, in outreach, and marketing. In the context of the Young Musician Series we think the primary failure was of a reduced series run, rather than our outreach efforts. We put out open calls for our Performer Meetings and advertised the spots for the Young Musician Series. We widely advertised the concerts for potential attendees and saw greater than anticipated attendance. We averaged 219 people were at each show instead of our goal of 150 people at each show with 26 individual young musicians. 100% of individuals artists rated the series as ""Good"" or ""Very Good""--almost 70% said ""Very Good.""

We will create a photographic/video record of arts camp activities, including the final performance, so that one viewing this record may form a qualitative impression of the arts camp experience. At the end of the final performance, we will conduct a brief survey of the children and audience that seeks input on the arts camp and performance experience as well as suggestions for future arts camps.","Goal 1- We did “provide children from low income families and who have had limited to no exposure to the arts, with a high quality, sustained, hands-on creative learning experience.” Over ten afternoons during the first two weeks of August children had sustained daily opportunities and repeated opportunities over the ten days to devise, create, and execute a circus-themed project. BareBones Productions brought their unique multi-faceted approach to bringing out the energy, creativity and curiosity in every participant. They did this by using a themed approach and designing processes that use many techniques and have many hands-on opportunities, by engaging gross-motor and fine-motor skills in alternation, and by creating large collaborative pieces that require many hands to complete. The biggest process challenge is to accommodate the developmental levels of all participants and to keep everyone engaged throughout each session, especially the very youngest children. This is accomplished by having multiple activities occurring at multiple stations simultaneously and having frequent rotations between stations. It is also accomplished by giving children choices as to what activities they want to engage in. Goal 2. “Children will develop basic technical skills needed for arts expression.” Children had multiple opportunities to use various media and tools.” They made large scale animal puppets/costumes (tigers, lions, gorillas, bears, and a giant cyclops by: sculpting clay molds; covering them with multiple layers of papier mache; painting the masks; and attaching them to a costume body. They made a 4’X6’ ‘clown car’ from cardboard and painted it. They built and decorated stage sets and backdrops. They developed performance routines with the animal costumes and also a ‘fire’ dance. They walked on stilts (many for the first time). Stilt walking is an annual activity that is integrated into all of our arts camps. It is almost beyond words to describe the joy and sense of accomplishment on the faces of each child as he/she masters this performance skill. Goal 3. “Our hope is that this exposure will spur children to want to have more involvement in the arts as they grow and open their thinking to the arts as a possible career path.” We likely won’t know much about individual outcomes for this goal for some time. However, we are working on transforming one of our out-of-school-time programs from one with a general academic enrichment model to have more of a focus on arts and humanities. We hope to provide even more regular exposure to the arts for children. The Arts Camp occurred on-site at and was designed to serve the affordable housing community of Liberty Plaza and the surrounding Summit-University neighborhood in which it is located. The Liberty Plaza Arts Camp served exactly the community and individual participants we intended it to serve- children in grades K-5 (and some older students who helped out) from low income families living in this community and neighborhood. All participants were from minority cultures that included Somali, Oromo, African American, and multi-racial families. The camp was free for all participants; the spaces we used were fully physically accessible. With many of the activities occurring outdoors in an area that is visible to much of the housing community, people were drawn out of their homes with curiosity about the activities occurring near their front doors. New participants joined the camp in this way and parents came out to observe and some to help. Every enrolled child, regardless of age, size, or ability mastered the skill of walking on stilts during the arts camp period. By observation every child who had never been on stilts was walking independently within four days. We achieved our target for average daily attendance for all enrollees at 75%.

A survey will be handed out at the conclusion of each performance.","Artistic goals were achieved, original music was created, actors were employed and production was mounted and was well received. What worked well: The creation of the music was the part of the production that worked the best but the retention of actors was the most difficult part of the process. Some would leave because they got better offers from other theaters and some would leave because of the difficulty of the material. The strengths of my artist process was having a clear vision as to the performance. The challenge of the artistic process was accurately communicating the vision for the production to all involved. If we were to do the same project again it was determined that things would work better if all instructions were both written and orally communicated. Further, we would begin marketing efforts for the production with in the first month of its start. Did you successfully reach your intended community? Yes, our intended community was successfully reached: The age of those reached ranged from ten to eighty years old. We were able to reach such a wide range by contacting local retirement communities and schools. In part owing to the diversity of our cast and crew our audience members showed great diversity in race, age and ability. In order to make our project accessible to all who might wish to participate: We contacted retirement communities, Centers for the blind, schools and organizations specializing in serving people with disabilities. For future productions in order to improve attendance marketing efforts for retirement communities should begin earlier and time and dates should be discussed with communities of retirees and people with disabilities before printed advertisement is produced. One of the outcomes was the creation of new and creative music. At nearly every performance people would ask about the music who created it and some would ask if they could get a copy.",,20900,"Other, local or private",25900,,"Jerry Wilson, Cathy Zolkowski Wilson, Sandra Storm, Tim Golden, Michael Lafleur, Miguel Richardson, Symone Wilson, Dan Kenny, Chirs Morgan, Arthur Turovh Himmelman, Susan Bloom, Jerry Timian, Karen Atkinson, Herman Milliagan, Les Bork, Kenneth Morrison, Pamela Sakayan, Brad Richardson, Rachel Richardson",0.00,"United Artist Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for nine performances of The Illusionist: Shakespeare Reveals All û The Operetta by African American playwright Jerry Wilson.

A mural that the students and their artist mentor create together will be given to the high school as a lasting contribution from these students and a celebration of the creative spirit in us all. The UROC youth participants will be asked for their feedback and parents will be asked to complete a written survey at the conclusion of the project. The students will document their process with photography throughout the project period. Attendance numbers will be kept for the end of project show/sale and the artist reception.","Our goals were achieved by the following: 1. We worked with over 20 youth with and without disabilities to create art for 20+ sessions. Our goal was 20 students and 16 sessions. We worked with two mentor artists to complete several projects, including a mural that we gave to the high school for a lasting contribution from these students. 2. Our end of program show/sale was organized by the UROC students. They were aware from the start that the art they created would be sold in the sale, and they made sure to tell all of their family and friends to come to the sale. They hung posters all around the school, and on the day of the sale, they were all there representing UROC. Several students helped count money, make change, and add the total of purchases made by customers. 3. The mural was on display at our sale and then presented to the high school as a lasting contribution from UROC. (Unified Recreation of the Orono Community) Overall, we achieved our goals set out in our proposal. We were able to work with the artistic strengths of all of our UROC students and allow them to work in a variety of mediums on a wide range of projects during the sessions. This allowed the students and peer mentors to be exposed to multiple art mediums and at the end of the sessions, allowed that wide range of completed projects to be displayed and sold. Some strengths of our artistic processes is that both the UROC students and the peer mentors were very involved in what we were doing. They were excited to try art projects they have never done before. They were also very excited to have the opportunity to share their art with the peers, teachers, and family members. Our challenges during the artistic process were getting all students to participate at the same time. We had such great peer helpers that worked really hard to engage the students in what we were doing. Another challenge was that the UROC students wanted to take home their artwork after each session. But, once they saw the sale at the end, they were all very excited that their artwork was on display for everyone to see. Our intended audience was youth from the communities served by Orono School District including Maple Plain, Long Lake, Independence, Orono, Minnetonka Beach, and Medina. We provided an integrated arts experience for middle school and high school age students with developmental differences, allowing those students to work with their hands to create art while being expressive and creative. Because our sale was open to all community and family members, high school and middle school staff, and all students, we were able to include the diversity of our community in this arts experience. The UROC students hung up flyers around the high school and talked about it to their teachers. Additionally, we did the same at the middle school. Scholarships were provided for those who needed financial support in order to participate in the program. Additionally, high school peer partners were recruited for their interest in the program and caring hearts toward the students they worked alongside. Over 150 students, staff, family and community members attended. A mural was created and gifted to the high school. The students experienced many different types of art mediums. 100% of participants said they wished they had more time to do more art projects!

Audience surveys will be included in the Flute Fest program and artists will give their feedback to the board.","Flute Fest 2016 Final Report: All of our artistic goals were achieved. Flute Fest is a collaboration of young and old flutists and the integration of new and diverse styles of music and performing. The biggest challenge for Upper Midwest Flute Association is to fit all of these events into one day. If we were to change one thing about the event, it would be to hold it over two days instead of one. Our goals for Flute Fest 2016 were to: 1) bring students, amateurs, and professionals together for workshops and concerts; 2) engage listening audience with presentations of solo flute recitals and workshops; 3) commission a new work for flute; 4) present health related sessions/yoga workshop and body mapping class; 6) encourage young players to reach new goals/two competitions/ a non-competitive workshop; 7) present teaching ideas and strategies/chamber music and solo repertoire masterclasses; 8) present a concert and masterclass by a guest artist. Flute Fest 2016 brought together student, amateur and professional flutists for a day of concerts, workshops, and competitions at Plymouth Congregational Church on Saturday, April 9, 2016. Audiences were treated to a flute recital and a master class by Jonathan Keeble, Professor of Flute at the University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana and concerts and pedagogy sessions presented by Midwest flute performers and health professionals. Ensemble Coaching at Flute Fest, Competitions, The Rising Stars concerts, Intro to Flute Anatomy 101: How to Choose a New Flute, Exhibitors' Promenade, Commissioned Piece, Jonathan Keeble Masterclass, Flute Choir Reading Session, Along the Path toward Body Mapping, Yoga For Flutists, Guest Artist Jonathan Keeble in Recital, Closing Ensemble, Midwest Flutists Recital, Two Flute Choir Reading Sessions at Flute Fest, 2016, Flute Ensemble Workshop with Guest Artist Jonathan Keeble, Baroque Flute with Immanuel Davis. We did reach our intended community; audience, participants and artists. We reached flutists and audience of a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. To make the project accessible to all, we offered a very low admission fee and scholarships when needed. A significant outcome resulted in our sessions for members to play in flute ensembles.

Evaluation of the project’s success will be based on the quality of the show, audience surveys, one-on-one ""on the spot"" conversations with audience attendees, discussions with the participants, and post production meetings with the company's administrative and ","The concept of the project was to offer a look at, and appreciation of, poet Langston Hughes, and offer an opportunity for musicians and dancers to create their own pieces surrounding some of his prolific body of work. This happened with resounding success. Artistic goals with this production were 1) to offer an opportunity for less experienced performers to work with more experienced; Of the cast and crew, one crew person had no experience; two dancers had limited experience, and one had dance experience in a different setting. The musicians had vast experience, the oldest member was able to share worldly experience with the youngest musician; the choreographer had 18 years' professional experience; two dancers, mid-level experience, and vocalists had vast experience. 2) To create a live, multi-arts production; This happened, as poetry, theatre, and dance combined; 3) To present Langston Hughes as not only a poet and “artistic figure”, but to show his importance within American history; This was the case; the show offered an education to many; 5) To bring the work of a Black poet/ historical figure to new audiences, emphasis on younger audiences, and people familiar/unfamiliar with his work. The age range of attendees, and performers, was vast, and comments from participants and show attendees indicated the unique way his work was conveyed. Success was determined through attendance, audience response, and positive experience of the performers. Comments from the performers: Janay Henry (dancer): ""The show is lively and full of energy, and I enjoyed every bit of this experience with the cast and crew."" Tazz Germaine Lindsey (dancer): ""The most collaborative piece of work I've ever participated in. Each person brought in a set of skills and we all left with new additions to our sets."" Jovan Valentino (dancer): ""A cast full of talented, humble people sharing their love for Langston Hughes. Richard Woods (actor, Langston Hughes): ""Warm Dark Dusk was a great cast to be a part of. It seemed to me that the cast wanted to get better individually and as a team. Best production I've been a part of in a long time!"" Breanna Lees (stage manager): ""I felt supported and appreciated by cast and crew. It was a privilege and an honor to be a part of this show, and the highlight of my year, and an incredibly powerful experience."" Marilyn Parker (Musician): ""This show gave me freedom of expression. Working with such a dedicated cast raised the bar for everyone. They worked in collaboration with such a positive energy."" Heather McElrath (Vocalist): Working with Judy and the cast was a joy. Everyone worked extremely hard to bring life to the piece. She pushed each and every one of us out of our comfort zones, and the magic happened."" Joey Schad (Music Director): ""I've never seen such focused and supportive cast. Each of us drew creative power from areas of both expertise and experimentation. I learned so much from everyone!"" The project was promoted through social media, websites, television, radio, print ads, newspaper press releases, group emails to the “friends of the theatre” and former participants in other productions. We received coverage in The Spokesman, Insight, Southside Pride, St. Paul Pioneer Press, and we were one of the ""weekly picks"" in the Sunday Star Tribune! The project’s success was based on 1) the quality of the show, as determined by attendance, and by the positive experience of the performers involved; which most definitely occurred; 2) the positive experience of creating and performing around the written works of a well-known poet and historical figure; All performers felt that rehearsals were like a class! 3) The creation of a new piece surrounded a famous person’s words; 4) financially, the company was able to report good box office receipts, (full houses every performance!) and lastly 5) the community involvement brought about by the experience of working in a multi-arts production, and whether that was positive. Response to the show was overwhelmingly positive, and was well represented in the media. Evaluation of the project’s success was based on the above, as well as audience surveys, discussions with the participants, and post meetings with the business’ personnel. The individuals this project served included 1) inner city Southside Minneapolis residents, as attendees, largely working class and many lower socio-economic residents; 2) artists who have a minimal degree of experience, as well as more experienced performers; 3) participants including production people in the fields of graphic arts, multi-media production, lighting, and business. Typically, the company has drawn from the communities of Powderhorn, Central, Lyndale, Phillips, and Bryant. Within those neighborhoods, demographics are roughly 30% African American, 10% American Indian, 10% Latino, 40% Caucasian, and 10% other. These demographics make up the audiences for all productions. Actors and production crew with the company, for the last three shows, have averaged the following demographics: 70% African American; 25% Caucasian; 2% Asian American, and 3% Latino. Within those demographics, 8% were over 65, and 3% were physically handicapped. The project definitely benefitted the communities described above by providing a new educational, historical theatrical experience on the Southside, and benefitted the performers by offering a unique interactive performing experience, and the opportunity to learn about, and perform, a show surrounding the works of a famous African American poet. Community members have typically supported the company’s production through volunteer work in fundraising and participation with the shows, as well as many individuals who have donated faithfully through financial means. A downtown business offered free rehearsal space when space at a local park fell through. 720 people attended the show, representing a good cross section of races and ages. Discussion with attendees after each show indicated that 1) a vast number of audience members had never attended a mixed media production such as this, and that 2) many people were unaware of Langston Hughes' work, and 3) were extremely impressed by the quality of the production.",,6700,"Other, local or private",11700,,"Judy Cooper Lyle, Lois LeBre, Melinda Sandoval Morvari, Penny Masuku, Pippi Ardennia, Pat Perryman",0.00,"The Urban Spectrum Theatre Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to produce an original work based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, featuring local musicians and a mix of amateur and professional dancers and theater artists.

Post-event interviews showed that 90% of participants indicated the artistic process increased their appreciation for the arts and benefitted their personal growth and mental health recovery. We will gather a count of both participants and audience members. We will use surveys, one-on-one interviews, and a post-performance feedback session to gather responses from participants and audience members.","We did achieve both artistic goals set down in our proposal. The first goal was around the performance development process, specifically, that it should: 1) be professional; 2) challenge the creativity of members; 3) expand member appreciation for theater arts and collaborative work; and 4) broaden the creative perspectives of the artists. The work was very professional, led by History Theatre Teaching Artists who each had extensive professional experience and substantial experience working at turning real-life stories into theatrical performances – work they do regularly with the History Theatre’s education programs, where that is the focus. Their ability to maintain a professional working environment depended on their success at gaining the trust of Vail Place members. It’s a real credit to the Teaching Artists that they developed working relationships close enough to, as one put it: ""Allow us to ask questions and push the members to try things they might not try without a belief that we’re all in this together,"" Brian. This brief story from one of the Teaching Artists about her goals going into the project reflects how much the Teaching Artists asked of the members, and also how much the members got from the experience. ""I really wanted to dig into and encourage more specificity in the writing, to make it content rich, and to encourage the members to get comfortable crafting performances. Evidence of performance crafting came when one member dressed in a hospital gown and walked downstage to deliver her monologue about Electrconvulsive Therapy, while two other members, 'cast' as doctors, helped her sit down while giving the audience the definition of shock therapy. The whole thing had been crafted originally as a story, but then the member who wrote it was very open to letting the 'doctors' impart the technical information she wanted as part of her story, and was also very open to changing the voice of the story from past to present tense, which made it more like a monologue. We were also able to get another member who swore she would never, ever, ever, get up and read her stuff, get up and read her stuff,"" Annie. The participating members unanimously expressed appreciation for the project: ""The experience helped me live beyond my comfort zone! Getting these stories out has impacted my personal growth and my mental health recovery big time. It’s been very cathartic. I’ve built confidence and learned to better open up to the “real world,” Kathy. ""Writing in the theater project has been an eye opening experience of exploring my own thoughts and hearing other people’s perspectives,"" Kevin. Likewise the Teaching Artists were deeply impacted by this project. ""I love that we get to do something and work with a special group of adults who teach me and humble me every session,"" Brian. Our proposal stated that the project was for the primary benefit of Vail Place members. We projected 30 members participating and we had 37. We also projected 150 to 200 other members would attend performances. We had about 140 members attending either the performances at Vail Place or the final performance at the History Theatre. There were two main reasons that prevented greater member attendance: 1. Limited transportation for members wanting to attend the History Theatre performance. 2. Performances at Vail Place were scheduled last minute to accommodate additional time that the groups at each location wanted to rehearse. This left little time to do outreach and promotion. Audiences for the final performance were about 200, just short of the 250 projected. However, we did do a couple of public performances for a professional women’s group and another nonprofit. Those performances were scaled back (fewer members performing) and reached an additional audience of about 250 people. On the whole, we successfully reached our intended community. The project was open to all Vail Place members and we promoted it through a variety of internal communications to make sure all members knew of the opportunity. The biggest barrier to participation we encountered, as has been true in the past, was personalities. We had several members at one of our clubhouses who participated who are very challenging personalities. The Teaching Artists did a great job respecting and trying to engage everyone in their groups. But some members, because of their illnesses, find certain people difficult to deal with and that prevented a few members from participating. In terms of diversity, each group represented, as our proposal detailed, a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. The groups at each location closely reflected the total membership at that location. Our biggest challenge is in drawing larger audiences to our public performances. Word of mouth and strategic social media outreach has brought more attention to this project. We are receiving requests from businesses and other organizations to perform for them. We expect this to help us build a broader audience for this project in the future. Also, Vail Place is planning to expand to St Paul in late 2017, early 2018. The community we will be serving there is more diverse than our current Hennepin County locations serve, which will help us build more diverse membership and supporters/audiences. Members found a creative outlet that was powerful in terms of self-expression and also in communicating to others. Members achieved self-confidence and social skills that have positively impacted their mental health recovery and their overall quality of life. We found that theater is a great tool in fighting stigma. Performances informed audiences about mental illness very effectively.",,5445,"Other, local or private",10445,,"Amy Browne, Angie Dahl, Stephanie Devitt, Jane Dixon, Katie Doll, John Duffy, Patrick Hagan, Jack Haggerty, Desi Heaven, Calynn Hendrickson, Scott Kerssen, Elizabeth Knight, Sofya Mikhelson, Emily Pearl, Annette Ralph, Roger Sorensen, Patrick Stroh",0.00,"Vail Place","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to work with History Theatre teaching artists to develop a performance piece based on participants lived experiences with mental illnesses.

36023,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The Velvet Tones chorus will provide nine free concerts to a diverse, underserved audience of 1000 people across the greater metropolitan area while providing the challenge for 75 senior adults to learn and perform a variety of choral music. Surveys of both the choir members and audience members will be taken with an expected satisfaction rating exceeding 90%. For each of the nine free concerts, the choir will compile the number of choir members and audience count; plus, collect unsolicited post-performance audience verbal comments. Written surveys will be conducted at some concerts through use of a form with both check-off answers and space for open comments.","The artistic side of this project is designed to bring life-long enrichment to the lives of senior chorus members. Velvet Tones is a non-auditioned senior adult choir. As the members are not auditioned, this means that the skill level of the artist varies widely placing additional stress during rehearsal on the director. Weekly rehearsals are conducted throughout the Velvet Tones’ season. Recently in the news, Mick Jagger age 71 years, was asked, “What’s your secret in keeping your voice so strong?” Jagger replied, “Practice. You have to do it. You have to do warm-ups.” The same is true for our senior members. Their practice sessions always start with vocal exercises. Another vehicle for practicing is the “single-voice practice CDs” created by Rich Clausen our director. Access to the single-voice practice tracks has been improved through the use of the internet by placing the single-voice tracks on-line at our website http://www.velvettones.org/downloads/. CDs are still available for those who don’t have internet access. The need for practice CDs was the result of grant-funded member opinion polls. The polls indicated that a fair number of our members lacked the ability to read music. While not all members are at the highest level of skill, that has not stopped our director, Rich Clausen, from selecting interesting, complex choir arrangements with very wide music styles and genres. As a result, the practices and shows are enjoyable for the choir members (and audiences too). It is interesting to note that one choir member only attends the rehearsals…for the pure enjoyment. This member’s skill is a definite aid to the choir. Audiences have remarked on “how much fun” our choir members are having. The wide range of music can be appreciated by a partial list of the song titles: “Sweet Home Chicago,” “Fascinating Rhythm,” “Mickey Mouse March,” “Cripple Creek,” and “God Bless America.” It is not uncommon for the young children to profess that they want to be a singer in a group like Velvet Tones. Accepting our artistic challenge, rehearsals were expanded to 90 minutes. Ability-expanding music was selected requiring purchase of new sheet music. Two arrangements were made by our director, Rich Clausen. Our director enjoyed unusual artistic notice. The induction of Rich Clausen and his band, The Swinging Ambassadors, into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame has brought his name to the attention of long lost fans. This prestigious fact is used in the introduction of Rich to the audience. The Velvet Tones Choir members are very active in the Apple Valley Senior Center. The members take on more responsibilities than typical Apple Valley Senior Center members. For example, several choir members have served as president of the Apple Valley Senior Center. This contribution is very much appreciated by the management of the Apple Valley Senior. Due to the support the center receives from the Velvet Tones Choir, there is no charge to the choir or Metropolitan Regional Arts Council for use of the facility. The Mission Statement for the Velvet Tones is: To share the joy of singing, the fellowship of others and promote performing arts throughout the community. Additionally for the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant, the choir promised, “The Velvet Tones senior choir serves the needs of two groups: nearly 80 senior choir members; and, an underserved audience across the Greater Metropolitan Area.” Through recruitment, the choir has continued to maintain a membership level of 80 members, plus or minus. It should be noted that we do not have direct control over the attendance makeup; particularly at care homes and senior housing. People in the facility may not feel “up to” attending an event. The size of the audience is not what matters but the need of the audience. As noted in the summary below, the choir exceeded its goal for attendees this year. Through careful vetting, our director ensures that each venue meets our accessibility requirements. If not, we refuse their request for a show. Accessibility requirements must be met for both the audience members AND the choir members. Throughout the year, there are numerous articles regarding the contribution music makes to the physical and mental wellbeing. A recent article chronicled the life of the oldest known Holocaust survivor who died at the age of 110. In her Oscar-nominated movie, “The Lady in Number 6,” she comments, “Through music we were kept alive.” We hope in our small way, we too are helping people in senior care centers to have increased enjoyment in their lives. Another recent article covered the benefits of music as noted by the MacPhail Center for Music. They feel that housing for seniors, “…to be blunt, [is] a bore.” As an advocate for music, MacPhail Center wants to help senior renters ‘age artfully’. The Velvet Tones agree. In recognition of the mission of the Velvet Tones, the Velvet Tones were invited to sing at the MacPhail Center. Our 9 grant performances drew over 1010 people exceeding our goal. The average audience was 112 people per show. Grant shows had an average of 37 Velvet Tone members performing. Our 19 Paid performances drew 1455. The average audience was 86 people per show. Grant shows had an average of 42 Velvet Tone members performing. A total of 28 Grant and Paid performances were conducted. All 28 shows combined drew an audience of 2465 attendees. The average audience was 95 people per show with an average of 42+ Velvet Tones members performing. The annual audience for the Velvet Tones exceeds 1000. One significant outcome is the competition by grade school choirs to be chosen to participate in the annual “Festival of Music.” The melding of the children and senior voices is amazing. Our surveys show a 100% ranking of 5. More meaningful are the written comments, “Our residents look forward to this concert! It is an awesome performance!”",,2855,"Other, local or private",7855,,"Sue Rausch, Kay Provo, Diane Bergens, Wes Hasbrouck, Helen Rix, Rich Clausen",0.00,"Velvet Tones","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for nine vocal performances for groups with limited arts access.

We will have volunteers walking around at the event asking audience members their opinion of the event and will also have an online survey for people to complete.","ACHIEVE GOALS: We achieved our artistic goals of bringing live music to veterans, their families and friends and all those who support veterans. WHAT WORKED: The music was great. People were engaged in the music. The dance area was consistently full. The Huey helicopter landing was a great success. After landing and shutting down, people were allowed to climb into the choppers. Kids and adults were thrilled to sit in a chopper which flew in Vietnam. DIDN'T WORK: It was a very bright sunny day. The crowd stayed under the shelters in the shade which were to the left of the stage and back a bit. Bands would been able to engage more with the audience if they had been in front of them. Next year we will put up a large tent in the center of the park to provide shade. STRENGTHS/CHALLENGES: The strengths were the variety of bands/music. The challenge was the time between some of the bands. DO DIFFERENT: The emcee would be more engaged with the audience. There would be activities for the audience between sets. INTENDED COMMUNITY: We did successfully reach our intended community. We were very pleased at the number of veterans, their families and friends who attended. ESTIMATED POPULATION: The estimated population benefiting was what we had anticipated. OUTREACH/DO DIFFERENT: For our first event we met the community diversity we had in mind as our goal. In the future, there will be a wider variety of music to appeal to a broader range of veterans, their family and friends. We hope to attract more of the younger veterans. There would be activities for the audience between sets. Food vendors would not be located so far back from the area where people sit. We would like to have more veteran services groups represented. We would add more interactive activates for people to view/participate in between bands. We would also have activities that would draw more families with children and young adults. MEET GOALS: Our goals were met based on the number of attendees representing all wars and conflicts since, and including, WWII. We were able to have the event free to the public, which was a major goal. There was a variety of vendors participating. The program was physically accessible to all who attended.

We will count the audience and will measure audience enjoyment through their post-performance feedback, both immediately following the concerts and through social media, and through their financial support of the project with a free will offering. Our evaluation plan for the participants includes a post project survey as well as post project verbal feedback.","Artistic goals for this project were to (1) engage audiences in a choral experience showcasing the music of women choral artists through the ages; and (2) enhance the education of student conductors, composers, and singers through ongoing feedback for the summer project. The project achieved our artistic goals. The audience’s response to the performances was enthusiastic. Both performances received standing ovations, and many of the attendees sought out the choir and composers to express their enjoyment of the performance. The project focus of Celebrating Women Composers, was well received. Our new composers worked with an experienced composer clinician to enhance their compositions. This is a strength of the process that we used for the project. All three new composers expressed how much they enjoyed the opportunity provided to gain an experienced analysis of their compositions and to make improvements to their work. The challenge of this project is to bring together the choral participants, new directors, and the artistic director, and to produce a high quality performance with a limited preparation time. The process used includes a combination of working with clinicians and a focused rehearsal schedule that pushes the participants to work together and to come prepared for rehearsal. We had over 250 people attend our free performances. They came largely from the Twin Cities and surrounding communities with a few of the attendees coming from greater Minnesota. The audience was provided programs which included information on each of the songs we performed. Through these notes we were able to educate the audience on the challenges and the successes of women composers. We also featured emerging women composers whose compositions were well received with one of the pieces now having been published as a result of the exposure it received from our concerts. Our audience survey indicated they were pleased with the program, the venue, and the overall quality of the performance. We had over 250 attend our performances. The choir consisted of 26 participants representing 9 choral college programs. Audience surveys revealed that 100% were thoroughly entertained and engaged.

This percentage will be lower simply because we lost many seniors last year. We will have at least five students participate as student directors in Tech, Performance, and Band. We will reach at least 1000 people with our program including Washington County Fair audiences, Minnesota State Fair audiences, and Nursing Home audience. We will evaluate the quality of the program by return participation, participant feedback, and by parent volunteerism. We will evaluate the encampment experience by the Arts In reunion (in January) and by encampment evaluation forms.","We outlined four goals for our project: 1. The program is accessible to all youth. We made our program accessible to all youth by keeping the registration fee low. We offer scholarships to make the program affordable. Two used scholarships. The program is advertised during the Washington County Fair, Minnesota State Fair, on T-shirts, in the Clover Update, and at the Open House. 2. The program attracts an audience. We had 3,310 people attend the show this year. 3. The youth continue to participate. We had 67% of the participating youth return from last year. 4. The youth and directors consider the performance to be of high quality. Directors, student directors, PDC members, youth, audience members, parents, and Extension Staff were all proud and impressed with the quality of the program that we had this year. We received very positive feedback. Several things that worked well. The director limited the number of student directors to 7 youth so that he could work with a smaller, cohesive group. This was successful. The director was timely in getting music/script to the youth ahead of time. We purchased a keyboard and used the sound system that the Ag Society purchased so we had excellent equipment to work with. The show was performed within the 30 minute time period consistently. We identified a Technical Director for the 2017 season, and he shadowed 20 hours with our current Technical Director. His experience will benefit our program next year. At his request, our director served several roles: director, assistant director, vocal director and accompanist which turned out to be overwhelming. We will change that for 2017. We identified several opportunities to improve our communication regarding program participation: 1-we will clarify language in our registration form so that seventh graders know they are required to participate on the technical crew because one student changed majors without informing the director or being given instruction to do so by a director. 2-we will clarify expectations for full-time attendance at encampment because we had several students leave for other activates during encampment without notifying anyone. This could compromise show quality so the PDC will discuss this with the 2017 director who will help set expectations with regard to attending encampment. 3-we will update the Code of Conduct to prohibit “ad-libbing” the script. This happened one time this season and in the future, we will require the director to approve all changes. Changes/revisions discussed at post-production PDC meeting: Director application-required to attend all encampment activities, rehearsals, and performances. Director hired for one role. Director expectations clarified regarding major assignment, encampment attendance requirements, and working with the PDC. Provide training for all members of the technical crew on sound and light management to strengthen the team. This show afforded many opportunities to the participants. There were 14 solos. The costuming was exceptional, functional and done cost effectively. We had 100% parent participation. Student Directors led teambuilding activities and assisted with choreography and script writing which increases enthusiasm and participation. We were able to make our program accessible to all. We reached 3,310 people in the community. Unfortunately, we were unable to perform for our seniors due to a scheduling conflict, but we are hopeful that we can reach that group during the encampment in our 2017 season. We invited Commissioners and Legislators and sent a follow up thank you to them for their support. The show was advertised in the County Fair program, on the T-shirts, and in the Clover Update, the county newsletter. Arts-In had a booth at the second annual open house in October, an event that is advertised in local newspapers and libraries throughout Washington County. Two hundred people attended this event this year. Each fair season, we set up an Arts-In display in the 4-H Food Building, Hooley Hall, for the public to view. In addition, county 4-H leaders make announcements at their club meetings about Arts-In. Club leaders have received diversity and risk management training and those ideas were used to make the program safe, cost effective, and affordable for all who wish to participate. Our program reaches senior citizens, adults, and children of all ages. We had 59 participants this year: 18 males (31%) and 41 females (69%). We had two participants on scholarship and 6 students who registered late and were assessed a late fee. Forty youth returned this year (67%). This year we had 6 students graduating from the 4-H program and eight high school seniors who have one more year to perform. We are hoping they all return for one more Arts-In season. Arts-In is accessible to all regardless of socioeconomic, education, or geographic status. The artists who directed our technical crew, vocals, and band had done so in past years. We had a 4-H alumni assist with choreography. She verbalized satisfaction with the role and the students enjoyed working with her. Our vocal director doubled as the Director so that was challenging from an organization standpoint. Next year we will have a new Technical Director who shadowed this year for about 20 hours to learn the Arts-In production process. He has numerous years of experience in local theaters as a Technical Director so we are looking forward to his help next year. We are working as a committee to identify a Director for next year. Several alumni have indicated that they are interested in applying. We had 12 applicants for the Student Director positions. We had 5 SD’s for the performers, one SD for the Technical Crew, and one SD for the Band. Student Director selection is done by the Director. The SD’s were very helpful with encampment activities, script writing, and leading choreography. Outcome 1: The program builds up youth and adults. They learn artistic skills, confidence, leadership, teamwork, friendship, and citizenship and return the next year-- 67% return participants/100% parent volunteer. Outcome 2: Celebrate diversity as singers, dancers, friends, leaders, and people.

Qualitatively, we will introduce and/or enhance skills through the interactive Latin Social Dances residency, and expose youth and audience members to the Latin American culture, traditions, and history. We will evaluate our program through paper and online evaluations, follow-up discussions with the youth participating, the Cowles Center resident artist, Giselle Mejia, School Age Care staff involved in the project, and parents of the youth. We will also evaluate the success of the program by the number of participants and audience members compared to prior years, including an evaluation of the demographics of the participants.","Goal 1: teach participants about rhythm, dance and music, and perform an ensemble for a live audience. Our resident artist, Giselle Mejia, worked with two groups of youth, Kindergarten – 2nd grade and 3rd – 7th grade. Youth learned of the salsa, bachata, merengue, flamenco and hip-hop dances, and the types of rhythm and music involved for each. Ms. Mejia taught the youth how current, popular dance moves originated in Latin Dance, and used them in the routines. Youth were encouraged to free style, by creating their own dance moves, which instilled confidence, artistic creativity and fun. The artist used repetition, games and drills to teach discipline in learning full-body dance moves. The youth’s rhythmic and dancing skills improved greatly over the two weeks, and they practiced dancing together to present a composed, live ensemble. Goal 2: teach youth how music and dance shapes the Latin American community and build an inclusive cultural program. Being from Latin America, Ms. Mejia shared how she learned dance in her household at a young age. Latin America is a warm and welcoming culture, as seen through the confidence of self-expressive dance, which she encouraged each youth to partake in. Ms. Mejia gave a variety of dance steps for the youth to use if they were shy. Using Spanish words as cues to signal dances and steps, Ms. Mejia exposed youth to the language. The youth also researched the dances, and made posters, murals and décor representing the culture, including making carnival masks and bright colored tissue paper flowers for decorations. The younger group performed a routine based off the annual carnival festival. This was our first Latin Dance class, and more members of our Hispanic/Latino community participated to learn about their heritage. Goal 3: reach out to family members and the community through a free performance, and bring awareness to the arts. Ms. Mejia was enthusiastic and welcoming during the event, engaging the audience in each performing piece. Ms. Mejia also performed a solo and taught the audience the merengue. Our families experienced Latin Dance for the first time, and were captivated by its vibrancy. The participants were radiating with pride from performing such a well-done ensemble, charming the audience even further. Families appreciated seeing a glimpse of the skills the youth had been learning at our summer camp and being able to learn with them. Providing this multi-faceted artistic performance showed our community a new artistic form that is captivating to both participants and audience members. Our ability to meet our artistic goals is credited to Ms. Mejia’s teaching techniques. Her talent and strong ability to work with youth was seen through her patience, understanding and flexibility in providing varying avenues for youth to rehearse and learn each dance step. In the future it would be better to offer three classes, creating a separate one for 5-8th grade youth, to accommodate all interested youth and their skills. We were successful in reaching a broader scope of youth through this program. Compared to last year, our total number of participating youth increased from 25 to 40. Throughout the two weeks even more youth tried the Latin Dance Party course, but were either unable to commit to the performance, or our class was already full. Although we had less male participants, we reached our goal of having a more ethnically diverse population, in particular the Hispanic/Latino community. Our focus in offering a residency like this was to reach out to our Hispanic/Latino population, to recognize and celebrate a prevalent culture in our community. There were Hispanic/Latino youth who participated solely because of the cultural representation, and they were encouraged by their families to learn more about their heritage. In addition, there were nine percent more Asian youth, two percent more Multicultural youth, and six percent more youth identified as “Other.” In total our youth population was 22% more ethnically diverse than last year. This year our audience member attendance increased by 37%, compared to last year. Last year our audience attendance dropped, since we offered a new type of community event, and not all families were aware when our family night was. This was also our second year introducing a new cultural performing arts opportunity. The number of audience members also increased because we had more youth participants. This in turn caused our audience to be more diverse, since our youth diversity increased. The audience appreciated the diversity of the performance, and several families who did not have youth participating, stayed to enjoy the performance. Based off other performances parents see their youth in, they had never experienced such a lively, fun performance as this. It caught their attention and will hopefully keep their interest as we continue to offer new performing arts opportunities, and introduce new cultures. This program was highly accessible for all youth in our program. The only reasons youth did not participate in the performance were schedule conflicts, fear of performing in front of others, or because we reached our capacity. No youth was turned away based on their ethnicity, financial restraints, abilities, or beliefs. Compared to last year, there were 21% more youth receiving financial assistance who participated, and seven percent more youth participants with special needs. The hands-on instruction and Ms. Mejia’s ability to meet each youth at their skill level, kept all youth engaged, and made it easy for youth to pay attention and maintain their focus. Ms. Mejia was patient and understanding working with these youth and treated them with equality. The number of ethnically diverse youth increased by 22%, and our target population of Hispanic/Latino youth increased by 10%. Youth with Special Needs and/or needing Financial Assistance grew by 27%, making this arts program our most diverse. Families surveyed showed 100% of youth experienced Latin Dances for the first time, and the event drew 220 audience members, a 37% increase from last year.",,2034,"Other, local or private",7034,,"Joanne Mansur, Stephanie Levine, Byron Schwab, John Chandler, Brenda Corbett, Matthew Klein, Terry Stamman, Missy McGinty, Charlotte Rowland, Amanda Shadoin, Paige John, Giselle Mejia, Jessi Fett",0.00,"West Saint Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan School District School Age Care","K-12 Education","Community Arts",,"Funding for Latin Social Dances, a two week long performing arts experience for youth ages Kindergarten through 8th grade partnering with a resident artist from The Cowles Center for Dance and Performing Arts.

It seeks to increase its audience base, to strengthen its board and organizational structures, to improve and launch a fund-raising initiative, and to continue growing artistically. An award of Community Arts Support funds from the Central Minnesota Arts Board would help Great River Chorale achieve the following specific, measurable outcomes in the 2014-15 concert season: participation in two performances of choral-orchestral music as the principal choral partner of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra; a collaborative holiday concert with two area youth choirs and guest instrumentalists; a collaborative concert with members of a regional dance company in a spring concert; presentation of an outreach concert for members of a central Minnesota community that may not otherwise have access to Great River Chorale's regular season programming; a fall 2014 professional recording and CD production project to promote awareness of Great River Chorale through radio airplay and sales to the public; increased and improved member and community participation in fundraising efforts; heightened public awareness of Great River Chorale through improved use of social, for profit, and public media outlets; implementation of an email marketing service to create a newsletter and to improve communications with members, former members, patrons, donors, advertisers, and supporters; to purchase a data maintenance software program; to recruit skilled singers and attract audiences from central Minnesota through continued programming of high quality music of varying styles and genres from different eras and cultures, and by providing a satisfying artistic experience of the highest caliber.We will evaluate the broad community success of Great River Chorale’s two public concert productions for the coming season by measuring the following: income generated from multiple sources (tickets sales, concert sponsorship, grant awards, program advertisements sales, Great River Chorale holiday albums sales); media coverage from multiple sources (articles, interviews and radio airplay); and verbal and written feedback from our patrons and collaborative participants. Individual revenue areas will be reviewed and compared to data from the previous three seasons to determine if there was an increase in ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, program ad sales, and holiday album sales, and thus an increase in community engagement. A similar comparison will evaluate whether media coverage is increasing, thereby increasing recognition and enhancing the ensemble’s reputation. Great River Chorale will continue to explore and refine data capturing methods in order to increase measurable data collected from our patrons, members, donors, collaborative partners and the larger community. This will include physical surveys, electronic surveys, personal interviews, and direct requests through e-newsletters and the Great River Chorale website. As we move forward in our plans for growth, we will review all available data periodically in order to make informed decisions for our future. In addition, Great River Chorale will continue to review constructive, qualitative feedback from our patrons and artistic collaborators in order to provide a narrative for our data that demonstrates the merit of our programming in terms of quality of musical performance. The proposed professional recording project and CD production is intended to increase revenue through sales to the public and recognition through track selection for radio airplay. Analysis of CD sale revenue and media coverage will measure the success of this endeavor. The success of Great River Chorale’s additional fund raising efforts will be measured through increased member participation in fundraising campaigns, an increase in individual, corporate and member donations, increased advertising sales, and an increase in donations on Minnesota’s Give to the Max Day 2014. Efforts to improve communications with our community will be measured through analytics provided by an email marketing service, social networks, and public media outlets where applicable. The purchase of a software program designed for nonprofit organizations will provide improvement in data management. Success will be measured in time saved by a significant simplification of processes for data projects (freeing up more time for other goals) and a decrease in returned mail.","Two fine collaborative concerts and one outreach concert were produced.

26305,"Community Arts Support",2014,2200,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","By increasing the advertising of our concerts we hope to expand our audiences for both the Paramount concerts and the Summer Concert Series. The expanded audience for these concerts plus the nursing home concerts and high school outreach concerts should reach multiple demographics--elderly, who enjoy our concerts because the concerts stir fond memories, as well as their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who may be exposed to wind ensemble music for the first time and hopefully creating memories to pass on to future generations. We have also been attracting people of non-European heritage to concerts, and hope to expand the race and ethnic origins of our patrons as well. Having celebrated the 125th Anniversary of the Saint Cloud Municipal Band two years ago, we hope to continue to cultivate and expand community pride, which can be measured via attendance estimates as well as positive survey results. We strive for an average of 95% participation of musicians willing to play concerts, which demonstrates the enthusiasm that our musicians feel for the repertoire as well as for the conductor.To measure audience satisfaction, we include surveys in the programs provided at the Paramount, and pass them out during summer concerts and the nursing home concerts. Survey questions ask for zip codes to help estimate the market area of our patrons. We also ask musical preferences, success of marketing strategies, Contingency Valuation questions to try to determine the value the patrons place on the concert, as well as their potential ability to pay. The difference in these figures generally shows that the patron values the concert at a greater amount than they are willing or able to pay for the tickets, and this suggests that our music is indeed a local public good, and that tax funds are well spent to support this activity. Finally we ask demographics such as age and gender as well as comments. With such surveys, we can do cross-tabulations and using Chi-Square tests and other nonparametric statistical analyses, we can determine if there are statistically significant differences between the audience demographics and answers to the other questions. We not only take attendance at each practice and concert, but informally, we experience the excitement and buzz at the recital hall as the numbers of musicians staying after the concerts to chat with audience members expands.","Fiscal Year 2014 goals were to expand our audiences and to demonstrate performers' enthusiasm for our repertoire and conductor. Surveys of attendees suggested we met these goals. We notice audiences of non-white concert goers, young attendees, and families. Solid retention rate of performers for each concert, as well as feedback from surveys suggest enthusiasm for the repertoire and conductor.

Adding an office intern to help with smaller day-to-day office tasks will help the Executive Director reduce the amount of hours spent on administrative tasks like creating labels mailings, and focus more on larger, strategic activities.Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience and ticket sales at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants. We can continue to evaluate our two ensembles by the number of registered auditions. As our current singers have positive experiences while being a part of the Youth Chorale, they are ambassadors to others in their schools, all while promoting an interest in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. Middle School and High School directors will receive updated audition materials to distribute to their choral programs. Our new promotional video will be distributed with these packets and will also be used for Development purposes such as for a speaker’s bureau and when meeting with potential private and corporate sponsors. We can evaluate the effectiveness of this video by the number of new sponsors. Singers have expressed an interest in more outreach opportunities during the season. These outreach sessions will give the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Board and Staff and idea of what our singers would like to do in the community, from singing at local nursing homes to collecting food for the local food shelf. The Board and Staff will discuss what options are viable and proceed with making connections based on singers’ viewpoints. Evaluation of this process will include interviewing singers beforehand, surveying them afterwards, and observing whether our goal for outreach and more visibility elicits more collaborations and/or gain audience recognition. The Artistic Staff will establish a clear structure for the Student Leadership Team that meets regularly, is sustainable, and assists in organizational development. Increased interaction and shared experiences between all members of varied singing abilities will take place. The primary focus of the Student Leadership Team is to assist the conductors in making sure that their peers (singers) are satisfied with how the choir is functioning, as well as making sure that the choirs are operating cohesively. At the end of the season, we expect an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who wish to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. By adding a student intern to the office staff, the Executive Director will be able to focus on larger responsibilities that require more time. Also, the student intern can take on some concert preparation responsibilities like mailings or concert set-up, freeing up the Executive Director to spend more time getting volunteers settled or even greeting concert patrons without having to be spread thin at the events. At the end of the season, the Board and Executive Director will evaluate the time spent on projects compared with the past two years of not having extra help.","Choral Festival reached 85 female singers, 50 middle/high school choir directors, success evaluated by attendance, participation, audience size, online survey; DVD yielded 32 new singers, 3 corporate sponsors; Student Leadership Team grew to 5 members per choir; 200 in assisted living communities reached/large donations to food shelf as part of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota outreach; student office assistant with leadership qualities helped manage concert logistics, allowed Executive Director to focus on larger-scale projects.",,,,10000,7263,"Joann Weber, David Tilstra, Mary Jo Bot, Chad Armstrong, Jennifer Butkowski, Karen Cash, David Paulson, Kara Rysavy, Andrew Walesch, James Wiant, Ethan Wittrock, Tammie Yapp",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Art Support",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a non-profit chorus for students in grades 9-12 from the Central Minnesota area, representing 21 different high schools and 21 communities.",2013-07-01,2014-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-art-support-14,"Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.","Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.",,No

We would love to see the participants and the audience have a take away from experiencing the work which could be documented on video, in their comments through social media, and any feedback. Aniccha Arts will monitor its goals through an evaluation and feedback process, including a a form addressing questions pertaining to the social location of collaborators, the quality of the process and event, and what specifically individuals walked away from the project with. Additionally, there will be video documentation of the event which includes a visual of the audience engagement. For audiences, we will gather information from social media which is directed through traffic on the Northern Spark website.","Artistic Goals: A key goal of Census was to engage individuals from varied social positions within the greater community all at once. This goal was achieved through a recruitment process, rehearsal process, and a public performance which always had this consciousness in focus. Another goal was to sustain engaged participation of 114 collaborators through a 6 week rehearsal process, which included an all-night, nine hour intensive performance. We had 65 collaborators who participated in a 6 week process which concluded in an all-night performance with hundreds of people that joined the performance. It was overwhelming and we had a very difficult time managing the audiences who decided to participate on the line without adhering to our process of integrating as performers. We had a goal to work with impromptu audience participants. We wanted to provide an opportunity for 150 audience participants to sign up. Only a few people signed up prior to the event. There were roughly 34,000 audience members who passed through the festival that night. From 9-midnight, we were able to handle the overwhelming numbers of the audience. But, around 11:30/midnight performers started to perform less which meant that there were multiple unoccupied lights, which led to a lot of drunk and non-drunk audience members taking up the ‘stage’ space. I have been making work that deals with audience engagement for the last 12 years and I had collaborators that have deep knowledge of how Northern Spark functions. There is nothing we could have known to do in terms of preparing for that overwhelming audience interaction, which was so tough to manage. We got an overwhelming response from 20 individual participants via electronic form and 10 through in person feedback. Most of the suggestions were about wanting more rehearsal time. People thought we were planned and organized, and respected in the space, as well as having tools for working on something in community. However, there were a lot of feelings about the audiences that night, although for the most part performers felt that it was out of Aniccha Arts’ control. Feedback from the group at large included: Strengths of process: efficiency of coordination with the large group and the structure for learning; good planning and keeping within promised end times; individuals feeling respected in the process; safe space, open space, welcoming space, community space; individuals feeling power to explore and perform; methods and space for holding accountability and commitment towards each other in a room of 65 people. Things that could improve: craving more space for conversation in the process; needing more time to explore the modules in the process; the overwhelming audiences on the night of the performance; more rehearsal time. I would have fewer artistic collaborators. That would be the only difference if I did a similar project. - Yes we reached our intended community. It is tricky to track the abilities of people given that abilities can be hidden. It is hard to know what gender a person identifies as and it is not an appropriate forum to ask invasive questions of that nature at the festival. Most of our audiences were white as the festival generally brings that audience. But, we really, involved our communities which in turn brought in our connections, just not in the hundreds like the festival. We had an ASL interpreter involved from 9-12am, and advertised to the disability community through various websites and connections about this. We presented our project that could involve audiences on a platform and stage that could bring in people with special needs into the performance as performers. We had Upstream Arts to do a workshop with the lead collaborators to help us create a process with access in mind for performers and audiences. 65 people collaborated in a 6 week process towards the creation of Census. 34,000 individuals attended the festival, and we had hundreds of audiences experience this project.

We hope that comments from participants will indicate that a majority experienced experimental new music and gained critical listening skills as well as a new appreciation and understanding of its artistic and educational value. We will count participants (including audience members) and document (written) feedback based on discussions and other interactive activities.","113’s artistic goals for this project were: 1) to inspire, educate, and engage members of the Twin Cities community through the presentation of high-quality seminars, workshops, and concerts featuring local and internationally-recognized, successful living composers; 2) to introduce underrepresented music by living composers to people who may have had little or no opportunity to experience music of this genre through performances of exceptional quality; and 3) to proliferate and disseminate contemporary art music. We sought to expose the community to current art and art-making and to give composers and musicians of all backgrounds a public opportunity to advance the making and performance of serious art music. We believe that we accomplished all of these goals. Duo Gelland and 113 performed and presented interactive workshops, seminars, and concerts at Eastside Neighborhood Services, Brightwater Montessori School, University of Minnesota music education and music theory classes, Planet Homeschool, Avalon School, the American Swedish Institute, Valley View Middle School, Graham Place Senior Center, Ingebretsen’s, and Grace University Lutheran Church. Strains performed at Studio Z and collaborated with 113 to present a pre-concert new music workshop, as well. We established new relationships with organizations such as the American Swedish Institute and Graham Place Senior Center. Both organizations have expressed enthusiastic interest in partnering with us to present new music events again during the 2016-2017 academic year. University of Minnesota student composers had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Duo Gelland to learn about advanced techniques for violin composition. All events were well-prepared and participatory and the performances were of outstanding quality. The greatest challenge of this project was managing the complicated schedules of our artistic partners and those of so many different venues. Occasional misunderstandings and miscommunications did arise, but since all involved were committed to the success of this initiative, we collectively arrived at workable solutions very quickly. Duo Gelland, Strains, and 113 represent women and men, members of the LGBTQ community, and multiple ethnicities. Through this project, we hoped to speak for people and communities that are often underrepresented in the world of contemporary art music--particularly women and members of the LGBTQ community. We planned to most directly serve local college-age students, members of retirement communities, and young, professional musicians and scholars from throughout the Twin Cities. We hoped to expand our audience base to represent people of all ages, levels of experience, socio-economic and life circumstances, genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds through our educational outreach endeavors. Duo Gelland performed for, improvised with, and discussed new music with students of all ages and senior citizens on a daily basis throughout their Twin Cities residency. We created and programmed underrepresented art music at all of these events. We promoted age, gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity within our core audience through events at Graham Place Senior Center, Eastside Neighborhood Services, and Planet Homeschool, in addition to many other sites. All venues were fully accessible to people with disabilities, and included elevators, wheelchair ramps, and handicap permit parking. All locations were located near Metro Transit bus and light rail lines. We also provided large-print programs. We hosted a reception following each concert, giving us the opportunity to continue discussions between musicians, composers, and audience members. We offered free admission to children and senior citizens and $5 discounted admission for college students. In addition to the populations that we proposed to serve, we were able to work with many children through workshops at Eastside Neighborhood Services, Avalon School, Planet Homeschool, and others. We presented a total of 20 events throughout the Twin Cities community. We premiered 12 new works. In total, we reached 756 people through this initiative.

The project was not able to realize as many project hours as originally anticipated due to scheduling conflicts between ALLY program participant schedules and the COMPAS Artist in Residence schedule. ALLY found that late spring to summer sessions may not be as well attended or as easily coordinated as fall, winter, to early spring sessions. However, the project's soft skills development benchmarks were met for each student artist, and the modules 1-3 for the Finding True North, Artist in Residence Program were achieved. The strengths of the artistic process were: working with a COMPAS teaching artist, having two days for the Artist in Residence ""in-house"" as the population of ALLY artists who were served for this session were individuals who were employed in the community or on work crews; having two days weekly to achieve maximum participation were necessary; this is something we had learned in the 2015 sessions, which continues to work moving forward. The artist process was based on the learning of three new techniques in self expressive art, thus the theme of the session: Finding True North. ALLY student artists related to the theme because most of them had just completed or were in the midst of Personal Empowerment Training being offered at ALLY People Solutions in collaboration with Twin Cities Rise. The theme and modules included self-portraits, stencils, street art and graffiti, which was especially well received with this spring-early summer session cohort who were 50% younger and more diverse ethnically than the student artists who had attended the Allies in Art and Artful Employment pilot project the previous two sessions. The next session that ALLY will propose will comprise of many of the same aspects and assets with which we're working now. COMPAS has been an excellent partner, hosting our Artist in Residence sessions in our dedicated Arts and Cultural space on the Green Line, maximizes participant inclusion and participation, and we will again host two sessions weekly in order to coordinate with schedules and maximize the experience for each participant. ALLY was successful in reaching out intended community of participants and artists. ALLY had secured a COMPAS Artist in Residence and an associate of hers as soon as the grant was awarded. Katrina had worked with ALLY in previous Metropolitan Regional Arts Council Artist in Residence proposals, and she along with her associate were very well received by the ALLY program participants. Program participants who have disabilities received instruction from the Artist in Residence over the course of 14 weeks. They were diverse in racial and ethnic composition and were diverse in their artistic goals, interests and abilities. 1. All 33 Artists had individualized goals to work on. The Artist in Residence provided progress reports on each of their goals upon the completion of each of the three modules. 2.

This goal was achieved. Another goal was to present innovative programming that would engage the audience and motivate them to return for more concerts. The grant funding made it possible for us to dedicate many hours to learning and performing new and challenging repertoire. Survey comments show the audience members were extremely enthusiastic about the music as well as the level of playing. We will continue to work to present programs with engaging music. To help the audience members connect with the music, some of which may have been in styles that they were not familiar with, each quartet member spoke about one piece before it was performed. This provided background information that would help illuminate certain fundamental concepts. Three composers attended the performances and spoke to the audience before their piece was performed. We included photos of all composers in the program which we also believe helps the listener connect to the music. Although our audience at Studio Z was a bit smaller than we expected, it was a very successful concert in that the composers were thrilled with the performance of their pieces and the audience was enthusiastic about the playing and the music. One new audience member showed up the next day at the Weisman to hear the program again (sitting in the front row both times). We are interested in exploring other venues in St Paul to see if a different venue would attract a larger audience. There was some speculation that construction work near the St Paul venue kept some people home. We were successful in attracting our intended community, which was made up of returning listeners as well as people new to chamber music or to hearing saxophone in a chamber music setting. We met our goals of making these concerts available to all by including accessibility information for both venues in all publicity materials and by not charging admission to the performance at the Weisman Museum. Additionally, we offered complimentary tickets for the Studio Z concert to listeners from the disabled community and for people on reduced budgets. We also offered a discount for tickets purchased online in advance. One audience member specified that this was important: ""huge kudos to you for inviting various ""low income"" folks with free admission. I haven't seen this much (in this country), and there should to be more of it. It is a very good idea."" Finally, we provided an usher at Studio Z and large print programs at both concerts. Once on site we made sure the concert venues were accessible, adjusting seating as needed for wheelchairs. We alerted the ushers to the possibility that they would need to assist visually impaired guests or those in wheelchairs.

35840,"Community Arts",2016,4688,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We will feel extremely successful if we reach 500 new individuals between the ages 3 and 85 in our 40 days of operation in spring 2016 - with at least 50% of the 500 being people of color. We aim for 90% positive feedback on exit surveys from participants - rating the overall experience 7 or higher on a scale of 1-10. We will keep a tally by the register to determine the number of new participants daily - registering people of color in a separate category from caucasians. We will give a short, written exit survey to all new participants to determine their enjoyment and perceived growth from their experience at Art 4 All.","The artistic goals for Spring 2016 Art 4 All pop up were simple -- to give the community in and around Maplewood Mall a convenient place to drop in and create interesting, varied, challenging art pieces in a family-friendly setting. We want to help people of all ages understand that their lives can be improved and made more joyful by exposure to and experiences in the arts. This concept in a shopping mall environment is quite unique and many mall patrons noted that having Art 4 All in the mall made the mall a better place -- especially for families. The strengths of Art 4 All is that it is convenient and accessible for all. There is no need to sign up for specific classes or time frames. It is set up as a drop in experience which makes it very accessible for passers-by and thus the percentage of new guests is higher than returning guests. As a business model, however, this flexibility for customers makes it more difficult to project income from day to day. The varied project types and mediums worked well. We always offered at least 5 different project options for guests on our monthly rotating menu. Over the 3 month period we offered numerous canvas painting projects, junk sculpture, mixed media self-portrait, organic abstract sculpture, mini box assemblage, Kandinsky-inspired watercolor, button bouquets, foil and alcohol ink, and tie dye among others. With all these choices, patrons could come as often as once a week and not run out of new project options. One of our goals was to achieve 90% positive feedback from participants. Our survey showed the following results: 1. Overall Experience - 95% Wonderful/4% Good/1% Average/0% Poor. 2. Satisfaction with Quality of Art Project - 92% Wonderful/7% Good/1% Average/0% Poor. 3. Value of Experience for the Money Spent - 81% Wonderful/16% Good/3% Average/0% Poor. 4. Do you plan to come back? 84% Yes/14% Probably/2% Maybe/0% No. 5. Did you enjoy your experience? 0% Less than I expected/25% About as much as I expected/75% More than I expected. Overall we reached our goal of 90% positive feedback! I feel the only struggle with the concept is how to bring in consistent cash flow in order to maintain the business. In the future, we may have to focus more energy on booking larger groups on a regular basis and promote more heavily the party option (both of which would give more steady income). Our goal for our spring 2016 Art 4 All pop up was to reach at least 500 new customers with positive, accessible art experiences with at least 50% of those being people of color. Our results? We reached 714 people total. 292 new Caucasians and 276 new people of color. 146 returning customers. So overall we reached 568 new people. 51% white and 49% people of color. Goal was nearly perfectly achieved! In order to maintain the Art 4 All business, we must charge $6-$12 per project (depending upon the cost of the materials used). Though this is a very reasonable fee, it is still too much for some who would like to participate. In the future, with more and larger grants, we may be able to have all projects be $5 or make a sliding fee scale of some kind. This would open the door even more and make it truly Art 4 All! Art 4 All reached over 700 people with high quality, hands-on art experiences in our 3 month pop up. 49% of the new customers reached were people of color. Audience surveys showed that 75% of guests enjoyed their art experience ""more than I expected"" which means that minds were opened to the arts and lives were changed.",,5122,"Other, local or private",9810,,"Jill Whitney Birk, Keith Russell, David Birckelbaw, Jennifer Lewis, Zaraawar Mistry, Rob Scott, David Whitney",0.00,"Arts Garden","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Art 4 All, a pop-up, drop-in visual arts experience center for all ages and experience levels.

35842,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Bach Society of Minnesota's community will be broadened through inclusion of Saint Paul students in rehearsals and performance, and student surveys will show the impact of the process on student singers. Audience surveys will show that the audience was moved and inspired by the performance. Bach Society of Minnesota will survey students before and after the event to gauge the learning and impact of their experience. Audience feedback will be solicited both informally and through a survey to evaluate the pact of the experience.","We believe we met our basic artistic goals for this project: 1. Create a musical experience that speaks to the soul by approaching challenging topics with honesty, hope, and inspiration. Bach's Cantatas 8, 78 and 72 allow a glimpse into Bach's emotional life and beliefs, and the music has the ability to inspire hope and confidence in the face of life's many challenges. We believe that the program effectively portrayed the emotions of loss (""indeed my weak heart feels fear, worry, pain from Cantata 8), healing (That blood which doth my guilt annul it makes my heart feel light again from Cantata 78) and acceptance (Who trust in God on him relies from Cantata 72) we had wanted to share. We believe the performances effectively portrayed those emotions. 2. Broaden our Bach Society of Minnesota community by including St Paul students in our activities. A highlight of the concert was inclusion of the St Paul Central Singers in the concluding chorale of each cantata. It was wonderful that they had the experience of being on stage with professional musicians, and the students' enthusiasm also benefitted the musicians and singers. It was also wonderful to have the students' families and friends in the audience, which definitely diversified Bach Society of Minnesota's audience. 3. Provide the opportunity for all the musicians, professional and amateur, to be challenged musically in an environment supportive of their success. Musicians and singers continue to express appreciation for the respectful environment Bach Society of Minnesota creates at both rehearsals and in performances. Involving students at the February 27 concert also provided an opportunity for singers to take the younger singers ""under their wings."" There is always benefit to teaching aspiring young musicians, and experienced professionals see their work in a new way as part of this process. Overall, we feel the concert was a success. We enjoyed working with musicians and singers who have been part of previous Bach Society of Minnesota concerts. Because of the size of the orchestra and chorus, there were people who had the opportunity to perform together for the first time. Working with the student choir was also a very positive experience, and brought a sense of freshness to the professional performers. Singing in both a Baroque style and in German was challenging for all, but we were pleased with the performance. It was helpful that there was a student with very good German pronunciation who helped the other students. The process would not have worked nearly so well without the benefit of all the work that Martha Graber at Saint Paul Central High School did with the Central Singers so that they were so well prepared coming in to the project. Bach Society of Minnesota would definitely work with a student choir again, assuming they had already had excellent leadership and training so they were ready to work with professional musicians without a great deal of intensive rehearsal time together. Bach Society of Minnesota's Twin Cities audiences are generally about 48% adults under 65, 48% adults over 65 and 4% students. The February 27 concert had more adults under 65 than usual - about 60%. We believe this is primarily because parents and other family members of the student choir members came to the concert. Our audience is usually white middle to upper-middle class; the February 27 concert was more diverse, with more Latino and Asian-Americans. Again, this was primarily because of the inclusion of the Saint Paul Central High School choir in the concert. Marketing for the concert was done through press releases to local media (print and broadcast) as well as Facebook and MailChimp mailings. For the first time, we also sent information to the music departments at colleges and universities throughout the state, in hopes of attracting more college students. Since the concert was held on Hamline University's campus, we did have two students attend who would otherwise not have attended a Bach Society of Minnesota concert. This year Bach Society of Minnesota has put more emphasis on accessibility. The Board adopted an official Accessibility Statement clarifying that the organization is committed to ensuring equal access to concerts, that care is taken to select wheelchair accessible venues, that ASL interpreters will be provided by request, and that large print programs will be available at all concerts. There was an audience member in a wheelchair at the February concert, and several large-print programs were used. No one requested an ASL interpreter. Bach Society of Minnesota continues to look for ways to broaden and diversify its audience. We have been generous in providing complimentary tickets to musicians and singers, in hopes that they will include younger and more racially-diverse people. The Bach Society of Minnesota board has been discussing broader outreach efforts for the 2016-17 season, and will continue to seek out schools to partner with in hopes of attracting a younger and more racially diverse audience. 120 people attended the concert. 68 were adults, 48 were seniors and 4 were students. 36 people (primarily families of student singers) received complimentary tickets. Audience members expressed positive feelings about the concert. Some (particularly family members of student singers) indicated that it was their first time listening to a concert of Baroque music.",,11200,"Other, local or private",16200,,"Paul Boehnke, David Donaldson, Erik Floan, Jay Kurtz, Jonathan Morgan, Rebecca Ten Brink, Katheryn Wasylik, Nancy Werner, Tomohiko Yamada",0.00,"Bach Society of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Loss, Healing and Acceptance, a concert of three Bach cantatas featuring the Bach Society's Chorus and Orchestra and including a St Paul Central High School choir.

During the concerts will have an audience count as well as opportunities to receive feedback.","We achieved our artistic goals for this concert series. Each concert involved audience participation through an informal question and answer session. Hands on opportunities were available to audience members after each concert. One of our primary goals was to enrich the musical life of the community. This goal turned out to be the highlight for our ringing members. Seeing the joy on the audiences faces as we rang made these concerts incredibly meaningful and fulfilling to us performers. In turn, audience members spoke to us after the concerts sharing their appreciation for such a high caliber musical concert being held at their facility without the need to travel throughout the metro area. Artistically speaking, music selection played a large role in the success of these concerts. Music Director, Bill Mathis, was able to craft the concert in such a way to highlight the music of the 30’s and 40’s that sparked the interest of the audience. Toes were tapping, voices were singing and humming along as audience members were recalled days gone by. One challenge in preparing for this concert series was teaching our ringers music from an unfamiliar era. This experience more than exceeded our expectations for the concert series and we are looking forward to doing it again with new venue partners. Our intended community for this concert series were the residents of the senior living facilities, their families and staff. Each concert was well attended by a diverse population; with various levels of mobility and accessibility to music concerts and handbells. The music we performed made a connection with the audiences that awakened memories hidden within. One lady was brought in the concert venue and did not speak, but when we performed ‘Blessed Assurance,’ she began to hum along. Many concert attendees had heard handbells before, but few in a concert setting. Two concert venues included audience members that were passionate about handbells and had extensive experience in ringing prior to retiring. Our concert was able to rekindle their love for the instrument. It was a joy for our members to see the enthusiasm in these audience members. We were delighted to see the large audiences at each facility. Our local partners did a great job spreading the word to their residents and encouraging participation in attending the concerts. Many residents also brought along family members that came specifically to enjoy the concert with their loved one. Bells of the Lakes worked with each venue to make sure that residents could easily access the concert site. Staff were very helpful in wheeling down residents and making sure all who were interested could attend. 360 people attended the concert series. Audience members didn’t just enjoy listening to the concerts, they felt a connection to the music. The ability to connect with the audience was the highlight for our members.

In addition, we strived to engage the community with interactive experiences. The 2016 World Fest featured music and dance from Latin America, Poland, China, Native American, Japan, Mexico, and the United States. The festivities began with a procession of flags led by a Chinese Lion Dance. Foreign exchange students attending local high schools were the flag bearers. Our audience members were clapping and dancing, smiling and singing along with the performers. The artists wore bright colored traditional authentic costumes. The performers were excellent spokespersons for their culture, describing their costumes, culture, and stories behind the dance. After their performers, the artists became participants, sampling food and joining in on the activities while interacting with the crowd. Cultural and informational booths included learning Japanese phrases, writing your name in Chinese, Hmong crafts, Chinese relaxation techniques, authentic Native American Tip, Cilongu Foundation information, health and wellness information, Foreign Exchange Students Program with a flag display, and a selfie station with hats from around the world. In addition, the Sons of Norway of Anoka County handed out samples of lefse and provided an authentic Norwegian Stabbur for participants to view. The Spin Zone was the most popular activity at World Fest. The Spin Zone featured several toys from around the world such as ribbon sticks, crystal sticks, balance board, Chinese yo-yo, hula hoops, juggling items, and spinning plates. Adults and children tried out these games throughout the afternoon. Our Blaine Arts Council volunteered to staff the children’s craft station where participants decorated Asian fans and made a Native American necklace. A new activity this year was a booth from Macaroon. The leaders of the booth were dressed in authentic cultural clothing and had many items related to their culture. The group played drums and danced and encouraged participants to do the same. Overall, World Fest featured 78 performing artists and 5 crafters. Next year, we will be changing the entertainment line up to include cultures not highlighted in previous World Fest events. In addition, we would like to add more cultural vendors and vendors selling ethnic products. The 9th Annual Blaine World Fest in total drew in approximately 1600 people. The comments and feedback in regards to the 2016 event were very positive and numerous people in attendance commented positively on the new additions of food, cultural displays, and the variety of entertainment. Based on the feedback we received we feel that the event was very successful in providing a fun learning environment for people to interact and build relationships. There were numerous comments on how much people enjoyed the variety of entertainment, dance and cultural booths. Many audience members interacted with performers after the event asking questions about the country they were representing, the clothing that they were wearing, and when they might be able to see them perform again. One goal we set each and every year has been to reach diverse crowd, and it has been exciting to see our crowd become more diverse every years. The 2016 event was successful in achieving this goal. People from different cultures came to see entertainment from their country of origin and taste authentic ethnic cuisine. From toddlers to senior citizen age adults, there seems to be something for everyone to enjoy at the Blaine World Fest. The accessibility of this event was a big goal for us and something we have really focused on. We listened to all the requests and ideas we received from vendors, entertainers, and cultural booths, wishing to be involved in this year’s event. We promoted the event to cultural organizations in the City. We once again promoted the World Fest in local schools. We also did a great deal of advertising in the local papers and a highway billboard. Each and every year we have focused very hard on making things as accessible as possible for individuals with disabilities. We had a large number of greeters working this year whom assisted people with disabilities if needing help with access to bathroom facilities. Town Square Park which hosts the event is very accessible with flat outdoor surfaces, easy access points, no stairs to climb, and handicap accessible bathrooms. Blaine World Fest 2016 reached an attendance of 1600. We had 22 cultural and informational booths, more than in any previous years. We promoted composting at this event and reduced waste by two cubic yards. We had 50 volunteers help implement the event – more than in any past year.",,6500,"Other, local or private",10500,,"Shari Kunza, Nate Monahan, Steve Poreda, Mary Jo Truchon, Sursatti Persaud, Pete Yelle, Jun Li, Brian Bohne",0.00,"City of Blaine","Local/Regional Government","Community Arts",,"Funding for the ninth annual Blaine World Fest Celebration, a public event exploring the cultural arts and ethnicities that currently exist in the city.

Chorus survey of project participants showed that 90% of respondents found that the experience developed their artistic skills and also expressed the project's thematic goals. We will obtain feedback from chorus members and other participants through an online survey and post-performance discussions. We will take an audience and performer number count on the day of the concert.","Project artistic goals: Goal 1. Produce a concert that engages our community singers and our audience in music that expresses women’s voices and promotes social change through song. Response: Audience response to the concert was overwhelmingly positive. In our audience survey, 100% of respondents stated that the performance was an engaging experience, and that the performance achieved Calliope's artistic goals. Our Chorus member survey also revealed a high degree of satisfaction. 100% of respondents said that the experience of preparing for and performing in the concert developed their artistic skills, and that the performance achieved our thematic goals. Goal 2. Use music and other media (stories, photos, personal accounts and lobby display) to help our audience experience how Calliope has helped give voice to the community of women, especially LGBT and other unheard voices, over the past 40 years. Response: This was one of this project's great strengths. The combination of music from the past and present, with personal stories from current and former participants, created a powerful, moving and inspiring experience that showcased the Chorus's impact on many lives. In advance of the concert we reached out to past members and recorded many video interviews. Excerpts from the interviews were played on a 10 x 15 foot screen on stage in between each piece of music, creating a visual and sound tapestry of Calliope participation over the years. At the end of the concert, about 20 former members spontaneously came up on stage to join the Chorus in singing ""Deep Peace"", a long time Calliope anthem. Audience members described the experience as joyous, uplifting, fulfilling, exhilarating, inspiring and delightful, and commented on the beautiful singing and that the performance acknowledged Calliope's role in ""radical social change."" Goal 3. Premiere a new commissioned piece by a female Minnesota composer, and reprise other commissions written for Calliope Women’s Chorus. Response: This was another project highlight. Linda Kachelmeier wrote a setting of the poem ""Everyone Sang"" for us and it received its world premiere at this concert. Linda rehearsed the piece with us extensively. The premiere was incredibly moving. The piece includes the repeated phrase: ""The singing will never be done,"" and the audience is invited to join in with this part of the piece. The whole auditorium chanting together for several minutes with Linda's beautiful melody was an amazing moment of community in music. Many survey respondents commented on this. Recapping other Calliope favorites was appreciated by many former Chorus members who attended and was a powerful chronological review of our musical history. Our main challenge was the sheer scale of this undertaking. Making all the elements work together required planning, coordination and hundreds of volunteer hours. The project succeeded through encouragement by our leaders and our volunteers' persistence and commitment. Did you successfully reach your intended community (i.e. audience, participants, artists, etc.), If not, why? Yes. Concert attendance was 280, which exceeded our projection of 270. Sundin Hall was almost full. Ticket sales were overall equally balanced between full price and reduced price admissions (offered to seniors, students and low income persons). We also provided free admission for approximately 30 persons. We met our participation goals for the chorus. We had projected participation by 48 chorus members. In fact 51 chorus members made the performance happen, including handling logistics, publicity, music selection, program design, rehearsal planning and preparing audiovisual materials, as well as making the music on the night of the show. We also had wonderful participation from other artists. Five former directors of the chorus - Maren Amdal (2006-12), Michele Edwards (2000-06), Jane Ramseyer Miller (1997-2000), Mary Preus (1985-1995) and Nancy Cox (founding director, 1976 on), were part of the project. Each former director conducted a piece during the performance, as well as sharing personal statements during the evening about Calliope's impact and significance in the women's choral movement. Collaborating composer Linda Kachelmeier took part in the premiere of her piece ""Everyone Sang."" Collaborating pianist Jessica Schroeder provided piano accompaniment throughout. Did your outreach efforts result in community diversity? If not, what would you do differently in the future? Our audience survey revealed that the audience embodied diversity in several respects. The survey showed that audience was composed of persons from all age groups, from under 18 to over 65. Audience members who responded to the survey identified with a range of sexual orientations, including lesbian, bisexual, asexual and heterosexual. Income diversity was demonstrated through the mix of full price, reduced price and free admissions. Our survey of chorus members confirmed that the chorus embodies diversity in several respects. The chorus includes women in all age groups from 18 to 65 plus. Members identified as lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, other and heterosexual in orientation. In what ways did you meet your goals for making your project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate? We have steadily broadened chorus membership by outreach at Pride and other LGBT-friendly events. A variety of musical abilities are welcome in the chorus and we provided multiple ways of learning the repertoire for those unable to read music. Both our rehearsal and performance venues are physically accessible. We provided low-price and free admission for audience members. We also provided free or reduced chorus memberships to women unable to afford the regular dues. Nine of our 51 members received free membership this season and 24 members paid reduced dues. No audience member or chorus member was turned away because of inability to pay. Quantitative: 280 people attended the concert and 58 singers and other artists participated in the performance.

Feedback will be sought from audiences, participants, instructors, collaborative partners and referral sources. A comment book will be on site and attendance numbers will be tracked for each activity and changes, thoughts, comments, and recommendations will be recorded and assessed over time.","In many ways we achieved our goals, realizing there is always room for improvement. Clubhouse participants had 27 opportunities during the grant year to work on art projects; learn new skills; experience teamwork and personal excellence; and, put on an art exhibit! The challenge to Jammin’ Art is that the population that participates in Clubhouse Recovery is very diverse in age, skill level, attention span, and ability to cope with the learning process. Some participants are fine with just getting instructions and they go off on their own, others need almost one-on-one guidance and achieving that balance keeps the experience dynamic. The Clubhouse Coordinator, now in her second year, has learned a lot related to group dynamics and motivation and has incorporated that into the program for 2017. Jammin’ Arts serves the community it was designed for – adults living with mental illness and there is great interest in our disability community in having the program be successful. The challenge is getting people to the Clubhouse in Stillwater. Most participants qualify for Metro Mobility but, depending on how the request for rides to Clubhouse is presented to the State for approval, many times it is not approved because it appears as recreational rather than therapeutic. The Clubhouse Coordinator and her supervisor are going to make a more concerted effort to present the program to County case managers and help them understand the therapeutic role the program plays in their client’s lives and the success the program has experienced. With the artist community we have been able to find artists who are also teachers and that has greatly benefited program participants. The Art Exhibit has been a great motivator for clients and family and teachers who attend enjoy and appreciate the event. During the period of this grant 30 adults with mental illness have experienced the joy and satisfaction of participating in art experiences in a supportive environment. More than 80 friends and family benefited from an exceptional art exhibit of works by their family member with mental illness.",,2800,"Other, local or private",6430,,"Robert Johnson, Dean Howard, Jim Ellis, Mike McCain, Theresa Burke Cosgriff, Erin Feigal, Karin Housely, Wendee Jones, John Mielke, Susan Miles, San Raleigh, John Stoxen, Gary Westeen",0.00,"Canvas Health","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Jammin' Art, a 25 session visual art project serving up to 20 adults with mental illness in the Clubhouse Recovery program.

Ten nonprofit organizations will participate in post-show discussions and assist us in providing answers to audience questions and giving ideas on how people can become a part of the solution. Anticipated outcomes will be evaluated through the use of audience surveys in playbills, gauging of audience reactions in post-show talkback/panel discussions and feedback from nonprofit representatives as to audience response. Engagement will also be measured through social media analytics, reposts, shares and comments.","Artistic success was defined as our ability to touch the hearts of audiences through powerful performances, which we did. Our five actors and thirteen artists/production team members touched the hearts of audience members by bringing to life the heart-wrenching stories of the five main characters and the supporting characters. The intimate atmosphere and the fast-paced, emotional storytelling of the performance was a strength of our artistic process. Audiences were spellbound and shocked to learn that we have unseen youth experiencing homelessness and abuse right in our midst. Representatives from fifteen local nonprofits, whose work revolves around the issues of homeless youth, engaged actively with eager and interested audience members at the performances by providing resources and information, answering questions and participating in post-show talkback discussions. The nonprofit representatives validated to the audience the truth of the stories in the play and deepened audience members' understanding of the issues surrounding youth homelessness. We created further awareness through information and resources on our website and in the playbill, as well as through thought-provoking posts on our Facebook page. Comments received in person, on Facebook and in the 115 audience surveys we received were all positive. Many of the comments stated that the script was strong and well-crafted and that the actors' portrayals were powerful and accurate. We also received many comments of thanks to us for raising awareness of the homeless youth in our communities, as well as sentiments that more people should see the play. Some of the venues added their own initiatives, including a youth group attending the performance and sleeping outside in a tent city afterwards. Another venue collected donations ahead of time for the nonprofits attending their performance, which is an action step we could suggest to venues in future productions. Other audience members demonstrated their inspiration gained from the performance by donating to our nonprofit partners as well as to Chain Reaction Theatre Project in support of our work. In addition, we increased our ""Likes"" on Facebook by 83% over the run of the production, and we had 66 new requests to be on our mailing list. We repeatedly had requests to have performances in additional locations, including suggestions that we should perform in schools and colleges. With additional time, resources and cast/crew agreement, we could have implemented a longer performance run. We successfully met our intended community, and our outreach efforts resulted in community diversity. Our goal was to perform for at least 350 people in seven locations with an average of fifty people per show. We actually performed for 558 people in nine locations with an average of sixty-two people per show. Audience members were ages ten on up, (including a group of Girl Scouts and a youth group), and varied in gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status. At our performances, we had twenty representatives from fifteen nonprofits, varying in age, gender and ethnicity. Our five actors, two female and three male, ranged in age from 16-22, with ethnicities consisting of two European Americans, two African Americans and one Latino. Although our outreach efforts did result in community diversity, we were hopeful some of the homeless youth from the nonprofits we partnered with would have come. However, despite invitations and encouragement from nonprofit staff and Chain Reaction Theatre Project, none came. This was actually expected, given Chain Reaction Theatre Project's knowledge and experience about their precarious lives. All performances were financially accessible with a suggested ticket price of $15, pay as you are able. Our average ticket price paid was $12.82, with some audience members attending for free, and some choosing to show their support by paying $100. All venues were wheelchair accessible. Playbills were in larger print. We had one ASL and one audio described performance. Unfortunately, despite promotion in our publicity materials, on VSA's calendar and to Bread of Life Deaf Church, there were no audience members who needed either service. 115 audience members stated in audience surveys that after experiencing the powerful and emotional stories of homeless youth in our communities that were so accurately brought to life by the actors, as well as participating in talkback discussions with the nonprofit representatives, they feel inspired to take action in being part of the solution by volunteering or donating.",,6250,"Other, local or private",11250,,"Jack Neveaux, Karin Van Dyke, Shelley Smith, David Durkee, Jenn Herron",0.00,"Chain Reaction Theatre Project","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the production of Invisible, an original play based on true stories of homeless suburban youth in Minnesota.

Qualitative: We hope audience members will express interest in attending events in upcoming seasons and that our artists will decide to audition and continue to work for Chameleon. Post-performance discussions with audience members to help evaluate their experiences. Post-show feedback from artists to determine who may audition or work with Chameleon again and why or why not.","The number of artists that are new to working with Chameleon and this part of the metro area has continued to increase. For example, more than half of the cast and crew for Macbeth were people that had never worked with Chameleon before and predominantly work in the core cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. All of the artists, new and old, have expressed interest in working with Chameleon in the future and one of the new Macbeth cast members auditioned and was cast for a role in a show for our upcoming season immediately after the conclusion of Macbeth. As part of the Chameleon way of doing things artists are always asked to stretch their roles beyond their norm, to a successful conclusion. The shows challenged both the audience and artists involved. For instance, for Macbeth (a show that is very familiar to most people) we produced the show in a time period and functionally through the use of set, sound, and lighting that challenged the norm. While not everyone agreed that they preferred this rendition, they all agreed that we succeeded in our goal. Our artists always involve a wide range of ages and backgrounds. The range goes from veterans of the theatre scene to newer and often younger artists. We are always open to all ethnicities and wherever possible do gender neutral casting. For example, in Macbeth, a young female was cast to portray several male characters. Our productions are always accessible to audience members of all ages and backgrounds and to those with disabilities. We regularly have audience members attend that are in wheelchairs or use the center’s hearing assist system. We offered ASL and audio described performances upon request, but did not have any request this year. It is always our intent that by producing a wide variety of types of shows, our audience members likewise involve a diverse group. One success was in attracting audience for Catch Me If You Can. This relatively new show, which hasn’t been performed much, played to sold out houses and exceeded our projected attendance goal by about 420 attendees. This included a large group from a senior facility and another from a school.

Actor survey responses will show that participation in the production assisted actors in openly considering production themes such as self-realization, gender stereotypes and community support/outreach. Proposed outcomes will be evaluated through a participant, audience member and ","Children's Castle Theater achieved each of its artistic goals as they related to the production of ""Billy Elliot,"" though some of the goals were not met to the full capacity projected. The primary artistic goals are listed below in detail. In order to assist in evaluating these areas, actors were asked to fill out a post-show survey. Surveys were anonymous and actors were given four days to complete them. Parents of youth actors were asked to fill out the survey with their child. A total of 23 surveys were completed out of 49 actors. In the future, participants will be given a longer amount of time to complete surveys (at least one week). Surveys will also be available beginning on the final production date. This will be done in attempts to increase the number of completed surveys. Each of the artistic goals (listed above) are discussed below in detail. Goal 1.) Assisting actors in growing their performance skills. This goal was achieved through choosing a production that had the right amount of challenge for the actors/participants (100% of survey takers agreed with this) and through hiring production staff who were knowledgeable in their skill set (78% of survey takers strongly agreed and 22% agreed). In addition to staff reporting that actors improved in various areas, each actor who filled out a survey felt they improved in multiple areas. Below lists the percent of survey takers who felt they improved in each area (listed highest to lowest); 96% improved in meeting new people and social skills. 87% improved in singing and music comprehension. 83% improved in acting and emoting AND in working in a group environment. 61% improved in direction following and listening skills. 52% improved in memorization skills. Goal 2.) Fostering a place where actors could contemplate themes within the production. This goal was achieved by encouraging actors to consider how they would feel if they were put in a similar situation as the character they were playing in the production or the characters others played in the production. Survey results were used to assess if actors felt the production helped them contemplate various themes. Below lists the results (listed highest to lowest); 91% contemplated gender stereotypes. 78% contemplated friendship. 74% contemplated charity AND financial hardship. 70% contemplated gay/lesbian themes AND loss due to death of a loved one. 61% contemplated self-realization. 4% declined to answer due to age of youth participant Goal 3.) Increasing audience sizes. This goal was achieved through the selection of a popular show title, quality performance from actors and through a large amount of show advertising and marketing. Overall ticket sales were up from an average of 14 tickets per actor to 21.9 tickets per actor. A total of 1071 tickets were purchased. This number met the lower end of the audience goal of 900-1900 persons. In the future we look to grow these numbers by beginning on-foot at least 6 weeks prior to performances. The project came close in successfully reaching all participants, audiences and communities that it set out to reach. The communities and the success at which they were reached are listed below in detail. Community 1.) The project projected to serve 50-80 youth and adult actors primarily from Dakota County communities. The project fell slightly short of this goal, reaching only 49 actors. Though 54 actors were cast, 5 actors choose not to participate. Participants were residents of the projected communities with 8% residing in Lakeville, 12% in Rosemount, 24% in Farmington, 51% in other communities in Dakota County and 5% residing outside Dakota County. After review, it is believed prominent reasons why less actors were reached than projected included the following; actors/parents were not comfortable with adult language in the show. The Children’s Castle Theater Board feels keeping the adult language in the production was important in order to keep the integrity of the show and would not change this if the project was repeated. Community 2.) The project projected to serve 900 to 1900 audience members. Though this goal was met with 1071 audience members (setting a new Children’s Castle Theater record for tickets sold per actor), it was a lower number than desired. All marketing methods in the original narrative were met with the exception of promoting the production at Farmington Dew Days. This was not done because Children’s Castle Theater chose to market a show that was closer to the time of Dew Days instead. In review, both shows should have been marketed during this time. Additional marketing methods used that were not listed in the original narrative included; attending local Farmers Market, online promo videos, live interview and performance on FOX 9 Morning Buzz and general street marketing. Community 3.) The project projected to provide contract employment for 4+ teaching artists. This community reach was exceeded as the production created contract employment for 4 teaching artists as well as 8 additional local artists who assisted with the production in non-teaching, performance/tech capacities. Overall, the project met the diversity discussed in the narrative. It reached actors from across Dakota County at various levels of experience and ages. Actors ranged in age from 6 to 50+ with no one age group (12 and under, 13-17, 18+) making up a large majority of the cast. The actors also ranged in experience levels from true beginner (first theater production) to professional actor (has previously been paid to perform at local theaters). Production staff worked to make the project open to all who might wish to participate by creating open audition and performance environments that were acceptant of all persons regardless of age, race, gender, sexual identity/orientation, learning/comprehension style, mobility, etc. The cast included actors who identified with various age groups, racial backgrounds and learning styles (actors identifying as having Asperger’s, Depression and Bi-polar traits). The first most significant outcome of this project was that it helped actors contemplate themes they may not normally think about; themes including gender stereotypes, charity, loss due to death, and gay/lesbian themes (results listed earlier). The second was that actors were able to participate in an activity that included persons of varying ages and experience levels.",,19160,"Other, local or private",24160,,"Heidi Schmidt, Jeff Carter, Tammy Nienaber",0.00,"Children's Castle Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to produce and present eight performances of Billy Elliot the Musical.

Our focus is to inspire reflection and dialogue with our audiences about the significance of the music, culture and events of 1966 and how they are reflected in the music, culture and events 50 years later. We will collect audience surveys after each performance to use for evaluating the success of the project. We will also conduct 2 after-show Q and A's in which we will engage the audiences directly in offering us their feedback, impressions and suggestions.","We were very pleased with the outcome of our artistic vision for this project. By setting the performance within the context of a 1966 radio show, we were able to present the music, news and cultural events in a current and relevant manner fitting of the day, resonant in its similarities and its differences between the year and our modern media world 50 years later. We were blessed to have had with us two outstanding musicians who helped deliver the depth and width of the music from the era as we moved from folk to classical through popular and cult favorites, expressing the levity and the gravity of that seminal period in the country's/world's experience. We successfully employed humor throughout juxtaposed with the seriousness of the issues facing us during the time period and we repeatedly heard from audience members how much they were struck with the impression that ""nothing really has changed since then."" We felt that our choices for musicians were excellent but, would in the future, choose a person with minority heritage, particularly since we were able to create a piece with great crossover between races, genders and socio-economic lines. Our artistic process as collaborators is one that has proven to result in projects that bloom during our working months into a well-balanced, complimentary piece of musical exposition and theatrical expression of significant merit. Our only real challenge was finding the time in all of our busy schedules to complete the project, though we were able to do so. The fact that each of the four of us have very distinct yet complimentary gifts to bring to the table, makes our work together particularly satisfying, though sometimes challenging when seeking consensus on ideas. But as we are all professionals, we find our way to the best possible solutions. We were able, through various radio shows, social media, advertising and target calls, to reach audiences in our own demographic and older and younger. We had a healthy showing of all ages and cultural backgrounds and considered our outreach efforts to be successful as a result. We also offered, through the theater, a pay-as-able feature and so those who would not ordinarily be able to attend our show, were able to acquire affordable tickets for themselves and friends and families. And as always, we comfortably accommodated several members with disabilities. We were happy to have reached our audience participation goals and through talkbacks and direct feedback, we understood that our messages throughout the show were well received, even though they were offered merely through the events and music of the day.

We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes if we meet our audience/participant count, and if we receive positive responses in our post-production participating artist surveys. We will ask all artists involved in the production to participate in anonymous, long-form surveys where they will be asked to respond to both open-ended questions where they may narratively describe their collaborative experiences, as well as multiple choice questions where they may rank their experiences in a more quantitative manner.","Yes, we feel that we achieved our artistic goals with this project, which culminated in a 6 performance run at Red Eye. We feel we created a new performance work that integrated puppets and masks as “integral storytelling elements” in order to “illuminate the major questions and themes within the work”, and that we successfully integrated “ensemble-driven storytelling, masks, and puppetry to illuminate our key questions”. We feel our success was supported by positive responses from critics and audiences: ""[I]f, like me, you enjoy something a little unusual and fantastical, something that is alternately funny and serious, ridiculous, decadent, and fabulous ... get thee to Red Eye Theater and give yourself over to the magic..”-Liz Byron, Aisle Say Twin Cities blog (https://aislesaytwincities.com/2016/12/03/the-sleeping-beauty-in-the-wood/) “This devastatingly beautiful, compassionate, witty, subversive, and exquisitely imagined play about the struggle for human dignity is not playing long (it closes December 11), but if you can get down to the Red Eye Theater in time, go see it. It will blow your mind and break your heart at the same time.” -Kit Bix, Talkin’ Broadway Regional Reviews blog (https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/minn/minn534.html). Jack Zipes, nationally-recognized scholar of fairy tales/professor emeritus at University of Minnesota wrote an e-mail to the artistic director: “Personally, I felt that the staging and the acting were superb. The spoof of Perrault's ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and other variants was very well done, and the entire question of gender stereotypes and gender bending was delightfully provocative. I think you have a good company and look forward to your new productions.” We also feel that we successfully curated “a rehearsal environment of collective artistic ownership,” as illuminated in the responses from the anonymous surveys that our collaborators took post-production, where 100% strongly agreed or agreed that they felt they “participated in a rehearsal process that was inclusive and collaborative” and felt that their “ideas, thoughts, and opinions were heard and listened to during the rehearsal process.” The biggest challenge that we faced was that this was our largest production to date – our previous production was a two-person play at a small cabaret venue for a one week run, using a small group of long-time collaborators. This time, we were in a full-sized venue with a two week run, with several new collaborators (and a much larger cast and design team). We think at least one more week of rehearsal would be necessary when we undertake a similar project, in order to give our new performers/collaborators more time to get used to our non-traditional rehearsal process, and also give us more time to dramaturgically work out a challenging new script on our feet. We would also not have performances in the month of chilly/snowy December, which is not a good time to curate new audiences for unknown work (see 5). We feel we reached our intended community for participants; numbers of participating artists were a few higher than originally estimated. During audition process, we encouraged artists of all backgrounds, ethnicities, abilities and gender identities to audition, and we didn’t require a paper resume and head shot. All roles were gender, age, and race blind cast. Over half of participants were women and at least a quarter identified as GLBTQ; participants came from range of zip codes/neighborhoods. While we didn’t reach our audience projection of 240, in hind sight we feel that this estimation might have been too ambitious for a theatre company of our size; we feel that the weather and timing of the production was also a huge detriment (see 5). In future, a projection of 200-225 might be a more realistic goal. 192 people purchased tickets online; 181 attended. 26 filled out the audience surveys included in program. Surveys showed that audiences came from diverse neighborhoods/zip codes and socio-economic backgrounds. On the contrary, 92% of our audiences identified as Caucasian; 92% had bachelors or graduate degree. Half attend 12+ performance events/yr., and half attended because they knew someone in the production. Facebook proved to be the most effective platform in which they heard about the show. We notified several GLBTQ organizations and groups about this queer- and feminist-themed production, dropped off postcards and posters at many area queer-friendly coffee houses, and posted ticket deals on queer-inclusive pages on Facebook. Some audience identified as non-binary in the audience surveys, and we recognized several audience members from the local queer community. However, in order to strengthen/grow this community, we need to officially partner with other GLBTQ groups and organizations on future productions. Additionally, while we contacted undergraduate theatre programs about the production, we feel that in order to grow our community here we also need to partner with theatre-oriented schools/youth organizations, by offering free ticket deals to organizations like Project SUCCESS, and schools like Saint Paul Conservatory of Performing Arts, Perpich Center for Arts Education, and South High School. Our performance venue was ADA-accessible, with easy wheelchair access and walker accessibility, plentiful street parking, and located on multiple bus lines. We informed VSA Minnesota of the production, and we advertised on all promotional materials that an ASL interpreted performance would be arranged (with 3 weeks’ notice), and that large print programs would be made available (with 48 hours’ notice). We educated our audience about our rehearsal process on our blog at least once per week, we promoted an open rehearsal, we included director’s notes in the program, and we hosted 2 artist-and-audience talk-back sessions. We felt these ventures were successful in making our work accessible to an audience, and would continue all of this in the future. Didn’t quite meet audience goal; exceeded participant goal. Asked participants to do anonymous survey post-show; 6 responded. 100% strongly agreed or agreed they “participated in a rehearsal process that was inclusive and collaborative” and felt their “ideas, thoughts, and opinions were heard and listened to during the rehearsal process.” 100% said they would work on another project with the company.",,5600,"Other, local or private",10600,,"Joel Sass, Leif Jurgensen, Marianne Remedios, John Wald, Beth Wald Hanzal",0.00,"Collective Unconscious Performance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Spun Sugar, a new production inspired by variations of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, collaboratively re-imagined through a queer lens using puppetry and mask work.

35864,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Thirteen to fifteen artists from underrepresented communities from around this area will have an opportunity to present their works and ignite positive conversations around issues of diversity and difference. We anticipate that the greater visibility of artistic works from underrepresented communities will draw more people to the center to view the exhibits as well as participate in community engagement events. A sign-in and feedback book will be available throughout the year at the front desk and feedback forms will be available at all community events for attendees to fill out and return to the hosts with invitations to sign in and comment placed next to the exhibits. In addition, feedback forms will be sent to all participating artists in order to get feedback about levels of engagement and artistic quality of the exhibits.","Our artistic goals, as stated in our original application, were defined by a focus on artists from specific cultural communities whose work is unique, thoughtful, and engaging. Artists who have remarkable talent or facility in their chosen medium and who are seriously committed to their practice will be of particular interest. Emerging or young artists whose work shows special promise and who are looking to pursue professional careers as artists will also be sought out. The Free to be Different Together program successfully met these artistic goals by showcasing a diverse and unique collection of artists over the course of the program. Based on the response from the community, it was apparent that the art experience was both provocative and valuable. For example, with the community engagement event for our first exhibit around LGBTQ issues, the promotional flyer language received push back from some leaders in our community, however this led to more dialogue and conversation around the LGBTQ issues. On another occasion, an artist featured in our second exhibition displayed work around the topic of racism. Audience members were initially offended by some of the work and yet, through conversation a deeper understanding of artistic expression around difficult topics was explored. Our main challenge was in developing community engagement events around each of the exhibits. Each exhibit was truly unique… featuring different artists and themes. One of our challenges with the events was understanding what type of event best provided access to the appropriate community. Also, at different times of year the activity in and around the building would vary. Should we do an engagement event over lunch? In the evening? Should we bring in other artists for dialogue, or focus on the artists displayed on the walls? Our process included much experimentation and trial. We varied the styles of the community engagement events, almost always with positive outcomes. We were able to determine that the most beneficial community subset to engage were the people who work in the building on a daily basis. This community is diverse and interested. When we hosted community engagement events at lunch time, with a shared meal and shared conversation with the featured artists and the project curator, we observed the most interest and participation from our community. In the future, as we extend this program, we have learned that informal gatherings for those who work in the building around the artwork with the curator and the artists would be received the best. Participants in our events expressed gratitude for day-time events that they could attend, as well they seemed eager to learn more about art and understanding how they could incorporate art into their programs. They expressed a lot of appreciation and admiration of the artists that we featured. Over the course of this program we successfully reached our intended audience and artists engaging 13 artists, about 160 audience members at engagement events, and over 40,000 people with access to the exhibition displays in the Center for Changing Lives lobby throughout the year. The exhibitions were free and open to the public during all open hours of the building, and each engagement event was also free and open to the public. We successfully reached our intended engagement of diverse, underrepresented local artists. We accomplished this by successfully carrying out all of the scheduled programming each summarized below. Exhibit 1: June 13- August 12. LGBTQ Artists -- Photography by Anna Min, Community conversation with Anna and artist Andrea Jenkins of the University of Minnesota Libraries for Transgender History project on July 26, 2017. Exhibit 2: September 27- Nov 25. Youth of Color Artists-- Photography by Denetrick Powers, Mixed media by Lynette Simpson and drawings by Annette Hughes. Community Engagement event on November 2, 2016 with the artists and spoken word by Chante Lidell. Exhibit 3: December 12, 2016 - Feb 5, 2017. Refugees and recent Immigrant Artists-- Photography by Selma Fernandez Richter and Fabric Arts by Sara Kidane, Tsehaye Abebe, Bekelu Haile, Rita Butoyi from the Sub-Saharan African Youth and Family Services with community engagement event on January 25, 2017. Tricia, the curator presented about the art program and spoke facilitated conversations on the value of arts and participants were very engaged, even making suggestions about the future direction of the program. Exhibit 4: February 10- April 24-- Muslim Artists: Mixed media by Khadija Charif and paintings by Aziz Osman who both presented at the Community engagement event on May 5, 2017. We were pleased with the level of diversity we were able to represent within our exhibitions. The theme of the program was “Free to be Different Together.” In the same space were able to represent youth artists, Somali artists, LGBTQ artists, artists who are emerging with artists who are more established. We also featured non-traditional artists and a few who have never exhibited before. Most importantly, our community was reflected through the art works displayed at the Center. All the artists allowed us to have the works for extra time (1-2 weeks longer than contracted period) as we had on occasion people who saw the exhibit and asked if we could keep it a bit longer for them to bring other people in their networks to see. The exhibitions were most successful in creating a platform for dialogue and connection around challenging topics. One comment received from a viewer: I was deeply moved by the artwork created by Lynette. I was bummed that I did not have enough time to fully envelope the entire piece and I have not been able to get it out of my mind.

Audience size will be measured by a count (conducted through Eventbrite and an onsite box office), and audience exposure to opera and Baroque opera will be measured by an audience survey (conducted via post-concert handouts and/or email). Musicians will be surveyed, as well, for their insights and ideas on how to improve both the artist experience and the audience experience.","Consortium Carissimi achieved its artistic goal of successfully premiering the lost Italian opera, Il Tirinto, at the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis June 3-5, 2016, thanks to a collaborative and dedicated effort by musicians, artistic directors, board members, visiting artists, and, especially, Jon Cranney and his years of experience, wisdom, network of resources and personal generosity. Strengths included the following: quality of musicians participating, both vocally and instrumentally (i.e. please see final program on our web site); Ritz Theater venue was optimal for this grass-roots opera set in a hillside town outside of Rome; stage design and production aligned simply but well with opera story; enhanced audience exposure for the organization resulted; new geographical / neighborhood relationship in Northeast Minneapolis; opportunity and ability to bring Alassandro Quarta from Rome, Italy to Minnesota to provide musical direction to the orchestra and singers. An additional strength of program included the more intimate pre-show dialogue between Jon Cranney and Alessandro Quarta and audience members. Jon and Alessandro provided cultural background and perspective on the ""Commedia dell'arte"" (i.e. the Comedy of Craft) that emerged in 16th century Italy. They took questions from audience members, shared their experience of pulling this unique performance together, and explained why they were drawn to participate in this first-ever production. Challenges included the following: unexpected costs associated with securing musical direction from Alassandro Quarta (i.e. organization has never before had to navigate the Visa process); some technical glitches with sub-title production; and sometimes unclear communications / expectations around musician rehearsal commitments. As a result of these lessons learned, Consortium Carissimi will do a few things differently, hence forth. First, if ever we have a need again for sub-titles, we will ensure the program used is fully compatible with the computer type (i.e. PC versus Apple). In addition, we will codify a rehearsal calendar at the outset of an ambitious program and ensure clear communication and understanding of when musicians are obligated to attend rehearsals (particularly dress rehearsals) as a condition of participating in program. Finally, with more planning time, if ever we bring another musician from a foreign country, we will navigate the Visa application process more cost-effectively. Consortium Carissimi reached the community of audience, participants and artists that was anticipated in its proposal. This is not to say the organization is content with its audience reach. We will continue to discount seniors' admissions and to allow all students into performances free of charge. However, we will also continue to think creatively about how we might continue to expand our audience reach in terms of greater diversity. For our organization, diversity refers to the richness of human differences including socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, geography, disability, age and individual aspects such as personality, learning styles and life experiences of all kinds in its musicians, board members, volunteer staff and audience. While our musicians and audience may not appear to be as racially diverse as we would like, we know they all bring a range of diverse life experiences and individual human differences that create a rich environment for their collaborative work and artistic experience. In addition, the opportunity to have Alessandro Quarta from Italy to assist with musical direction created a unique opportunity for both musicians and audience to interact with an Italian national musician. Alessandro brought diversity to the overall experience through his nationality, native Italian language (also the text and lyric of the opera) and cultural perspective. ~ 350 attended opera, a higher number than for any prior production by at least 150. ~175 of 350 tickets were purchased online through the organization's web site.

Increased number of audience and participants (850 and 90 respectively from previous PAMANA) by 20% if not more and to deliver a better and more entertaining production that will leave a strong impression to the attendees. We plan to solicit participant and audience’s feedback through a survey soon after the performance to ascertain how, if at all, it has impacted their lives and to determine how we reach our targeted audience in terms of numbers and the level of entertainment and educational values they get from the production. After the performance, the group will conduct a feedback session to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the project, and what we can improve for the next PAMANA.","The Cultural Society of Filipino Americans proudly presented PAMANA X on September 10, 2016 at the Ames Center. Through this successful artistic endeavor, Cultural Society of Filipino Americans succeeded in fulfilling its main mission of promoting and sharing the Filipino culture, arts and heritage. Ethnic dances and music of the different regions of the Philippines were showcased through movements, sounds, rhythms, stage settings and costumes. There were a total of 59 dancers, ages ranging from 5 to 78 years and over 40 production stage crew and reception team member volunteers. With this project, Cultural Society of Filipino Americans was able to accomplish the following: 1. Artistically, this project provided the opportunity to express artistic talents, confidence and pride in our racial identities. Individuals, some of whom have never performed in front of a large crowd, showcased and featured their musical abilities through movements and steps of different beats and rhythms. The choreographers and dance masters recognized that each performer had different musical and dance backgrounds and training (if any), hence, modifications were made without sacrificing the meaning of the dance. For some, more attention had to be given in order to provide proper execution of the steps and expression. The opportunity to perform and to express one’s self especially one’s ethnicity through dance on a big stage and the audience’s positive reaction through their applauses was an unforgettable experience for the performers. 2. As students of ethnic dancing and music, movements and sounds had to be learned and understood to properly convey the message of the dance. Although half of the dancers were experienced and veteran members of the Cultural Society of Filipino Americans Dance Troupe, all performers had to understand and learn the background of the dances in order to successfully relay to the audience the significance and essence of what was being performed; which we were able to achieved. 3. As members of the organization with the main mission of promoting the Filipino culture, PAMANA X was able to share with and impart to the Filipino community and to fellow Minnesotans (to both the viewers and performers) the wealth and vastness of our colorful heritage. Through the dances, music and costumes, one could recognize and understand the way of life and belief of Philippine people, the sceneries and the natural resources of a nation and the influences of its colonizers and surrounding nations. 4. As parents and teachers, colorful dances and traditions that are part of our identity as a people were passed on to the youth who watched the show and also to those who participated in the production. Like previous PAMANA, it was encouraging to hear young performers telling the organizers that they can't wait to perform again and want to invite more children to be involved in the next production of PAMANA. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans knows that understanding and appreciation of one’s ethnic roots is vital in contributing better self-esteem and producing more well-rounded and productive members of this society. A big majority of the audience were members of the Filipino community in Minnesota. They shared with us that watching PAMANA X, brought about a sense of pride and elation for being a member of the Filipino community here in the Midwest. Some parents and grandparents brought their children and grandchildren to introduce them to the Philippine arts and culture in an entertaining setting. Migrant Filipinos and Filipino-Americans who longed for the music and the dances of their motherland, Minnesotans with established Filipino connections, and scholars of Philippine and Asian history and culture came that evening to support the event and to be entertained. Minnesotans, even those of Filipino lineage, learned through PAMANA X that the Philippines have a diverse and vast culture influenced by both the Western and Eastern worlds. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans reached out to Filipinos and Minnesotans who are performing artists, who wanted an opportunity to perform and to express themselves through dance, and who wanted to share artistic and organizational skills. Flyers, social media and personal communications were used to announce PAMANA X and to recruit dancers and volunteers. There were no auditions held, only dedication and commitment to show up for rehearsals was required. There were several non-Filipinos that participated in the production, which encouraged diversity. To launch the production, we invited community and non-community members to watch the previous PAMANA production and volunteer opportunities and artistic and production description for PAMANA X were presented. Sign-up sheets were passed around for those interested to be part of the production. The practices and the performance itself were held at the Philippine Center of Minnesota (CSFA office's location) and Ames Center respectively; both are in central and accessible locations within the metro area that ensured travel convenience and safety for participants. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans sold 778 tickets but 685 attendees were recorded. We were hoping to have about 1,000 attendees but since we only have 5 months to recruit, rehearse, prepare, advertise, and sell tickets, we failed to reach the numbers we forecasted. We agreed that we should have started early and allowed at least a year to plan, prepare, and execute the production in order to reach our goal and to have a better outcome of the production. Learning this, we will definitely take this into account for our next PAMANA production. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans reached out to the community to find out who wanted to watch the show but could not financially afford it; 30 tickets were given to students and elderly individuals. Elderly, disabled and wheelchair users were able to use Ames Center’s ramps and elevators and had designated seats. During the show, souvenir programs were available to guide the members of the audience to the individual dances and backgrounds, the represented regions, historical eras, and foreign influences. The program notes also offered information about the Philippines. PAMANA X gave individuals who otherwise do not participate in art activities, an opportunity to learn and express art in the form of dance. PAMANA X was able to address the longing of the American-Filipino community for a Filipino production that they have not seen for 4 years. Based on an audience survey, about 95% positively changed their attitude about the Philippines because of the production.",,29500,"Other, local or private",34500,,"Ligaya Carlos, Nena Alojado, Rowena Carlson, Lorna Faustino, Bernadette Panaligan, Gary Alexander Paz, Mary Jane Ungemach, Catherine Van Hoecke",0.00,"Cultural Society of Filipino-Americans","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for PAMANA X (ten), a 2-hour dance and music production that showcases authentic Filipino dances, music and costumes; depicts distinct historical periods, geographic areas and cultural influences; and provides an artistic forum for Filipino cultur",2016-03-25,2016-09-10,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Catherine,"Van Hoecke","Cultural Society of Filipino - Americans, Inc.","1380 Frost Ave",Maplewood,MN,55109,"(651) 243-2732 ",cathyvanhoecke@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-662,"Bill Muchow: Artistic, finance, administration; Alejandra Pelinka: Administration, artistic, fundraising; Laura Narhi: Fundraising, administration, organizational development; Paul Eastwold: Disabilities specialist, education, administration; Juliet Parisi: Artistic, education, organizational development; Brenda Lyseng: Administration, education, organizational development; Edna Stevens: Fundraising, computer systems, disabilities specialist.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2

Numbered tickets will again be used to track guests as they are greeted into the event. To evaluate success, surveys will be provided to volunteers and guests to complete.","Overall we feel we achieved our artistic goals. Our entertainment groups were well received with very positive comments on our surveys. We had dancer and singers representing 3 European countries; Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The performers also enjoyed the day. They appreciated the ample space and quality dance floor provided to them. Our craft vendors filled the space allotted with quality items. Their booths were very organized and appealing to the shoppers. Survey comments liked the quality and variety of these handmade items. Overall vendor comments were the best since this annual event started, stating their sales were higher than in previous years, some even selling out of inventory. New this year were volunteers helping vendors bring in and take out their inventory which was very well received by the vendors. Also new this year was live entertainment in the Kids Corner; Frozen Appearance, which were two high school girls who interacted with the children in the characters of Queen Elsa and Princess Anna from the movie Frozen. They were a huge success and helped increase the number of children attending the event. Overall we feel we reached our intended audience. The Czech Heritage Club tracked attendance showing over 620 attended. This includes crafters, entertainers and volunteers directly involved. Local crafters who were able to show their quality wares were able to sell more than in previous years. Survey comments show audience members enjoyed entertainment they normally do not see and enjoyed it very much. Our free event invited guests to bring a non-perishable food item to the food shelf. This resulted in a substantial donation in both food and financial donations to community food shelf. The kitchen of the ballroom served more food than in the past, and were very pleased with the outcome. This result shows that attendees spent enough time at the event to be able to eat a meal in addition to enjoying the entertainment and the crafters. We show that our attendees totaled approximately 620. Audience members were able to shop 25 local vendors with handcrafted items and enjoy European style entertainment groups who do not regularly perform in the community. 95% of audience surveys indicated they were pleased with all the activities, food and layout of the day.",,2304,"Other, local or private",6604,,"Vi Chromy, Stan Chromy, Deb Ziskovsky, Arnie Ziskovsky, Jeanette Kes ",0.00,"Czech Heritage Club","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the seventh annual European Christmas Event featuring traditional folk dancers and singers, artisans and craft vendors and family friendly activities.

We will provide an opportunity to 100 artists to show and sell their work at our venue. We will use a counter at the entrance to the festival, and at both activities tents (kids and art experience). We will provide surveys to all artists, vendors, and sponsors to gauge their experience and we will provide social media interaction for the audience.","Our goal was to bring the literary arts into the visual arts mix this year while continuing the engagement and quality of the artists and activities we offer annually. Our goal to have 100-104 qualified artists was achieved with our jury of 3-D and 2-D experienced judges. We had 120 applications and juried in 100 artists. We were able to bring in 12 authors who shared a tent over the two day festival on a rotating basis. The authors seemed pleased to be there, but if we continue with this in the future we will look at some training/advice on how to engage with our community audience as they were not very active in conversing with the audience coming by. Our community engagement projects went very well with children spending up to two hours in the Children's Art Tent creating their own books and telling a story. The community art project was equally well received with participants age 11 and up spending up to 2 hours on an illuminated letter project and story - 150 participated. Usually we have a large number of participants for this project, however, it was structured to be a deeper project - not a quick add and dash so that may explain the number variance. We will be discussing what the sweet spot is between deeper engagement vs. number of touches for the 2017 festival. Both are valuable. We had a couple of new bands in the Entertainment lineup and they were very well received. One was a 90's throwback band that we hoped would entertain and engage 20-30 somethings at our event and increase their participation. This worked very well and people loved them. We will be bringing them back for 2017 if they are available. The Youth in Art program continues to be a challenge to maintain. This year the change up was to bring elementary art onto the site to start a process of having kids participate at a younger level so that they will continue to be interested in participating as community members as they grow into young adulthood. Working with the schools to make this happen was challenging due to the fact the festival is held when school is out. Also because of the outdoor venue it was difficult to display the large number of pieces that were provided to the festival. We will be revisiting this part of the project for 2017 to find a better way to manage it. We successfully reached our intended community of people from the City of Eagan and surrounding area... Our attendance was down a little due to excessive heat on Saturday which was disappointing, but not unexpected. The festival is located on ADA accessible grounds, and one thing that was noticed is that there seemed to be more people in wheelchairs then in the past - so the asphalt path around the artists was very important along with the accessible bathroom facility. The number of different media among the artists increased slightly this year and several had multimedia applications - selection of artists will become more challenging if that trend in applications continues. The audience at the event by observation tends to be more middle aged and older people in the past, but this year there were many younger people and young families (strollers) then in the past so this will be kept in mind for 2017 as well. Marketing materials were deliberately left in all public buildings possible where many different people would be including the library, all city buildings, many area businesses and hotels. The festival markets to and opens the door as wide as possible to attract all people from this community. With 7000-8000 people on-site it would be wonderful to have a way to track cultural diversity more accurately and we would welcome any recommendations. Over the two days several different languages were heard including Hmong, Spanish, Pashtun, Russian and Ukrainian. It would be difficult to say how many cultures were represented among the attendees. The festival has continued to grow for several years by an average of 10% so in 2016 8500 people were expected. The number attending was just under 7300 - due mostly to a heat index of 107 degrees on the Saturday of the festival. There were 123 artists and sponsors on-site. 400 children created books and 150 ages 11 and up made Illuminated Letters. 85% of artists will be re-applying in 2017.",,42425,"Other, local or private",47425,,"Karen Sames, Juliet Parisi, Barb Graycarek, Yvette Johnson, Dick Pletcher, Kathy Thompson, Wayne Sames, Jerri Neddermeyer, Wanda Borman",0.00,"Dakota Center for the Arts AKA Eagan Art Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 22nd annual Eagan Art Festival, a free two-day outdoor art festival featuring a broad range of artists, entertainment and arts activities for all ages.

We would like to show how art is a unifier where every person, whether performing or listening, can appreciate the feeling of music. The Dakota Valley Symphony evaluates the success of a concert artistically by the judgment of the Music Directors and the feedback of audience members and performers. Financial success will be determined in part by concert attendance and whether our budget goals are attained.","Our artistic goals were to: 1) Present a variety of repertoire of different genre and periods, 2) Offer the audience, performers, students, parents and families the powerful experience of a live performance of provocative choral and orchestral music, 3) Provide an opportunity for young singers to perform with a community orchestra. We were able to achieve all of these goals during this concert. The repertoire was indeed from different genres and periods. Our performance included a piece from 1840, a piece from 1925, a piece from 1974 and a world premiere of a piece written by one of our very own performers. The audience, performers, students, parents and families all enjoyed this live and powerful performance of choral and orchestral music. This performance included 2 high school orchestras and gave these young singers a chance to perform with a community orchestra. It is always difficult to pull together that many performers together for a concert, but having a new chorus director this year has helped tremendously. The chorus director worked with Lakeville North High School Chorus, Lakeville South Chorus and the Dakota Valley Symphony Chorus while Steve Ramsey was able to focus on the Orchestra. The result was a stunning assembly of performers for this Gala 30th Anniversary Celebration. If we were to repeat a similar concert we may add a few more rehearsals just to pull it together with the Orchestra and Chorus a little more. We had intended to reach out to 660 members of the Dakota County area and were able to achieve an audience of about 550 from all around the South Suburban area of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. We had about 100 less audience members than we had planned on, but from all who attended there were only good reviews. Also, the number of artists was slightly lower than we had intended, but did not make enough of a change to affect the performance. We had intended on 170 youth singers, but ended up having about 140. Also, we had intended on having 40 singers from the Dakota Valley Symphony Chorus and only had about 24. We're not sure why attendance was down for this performance, but we always aim to reach out to as many members of the community as we can. There could always be a little more diversity in the audience and artists. We welcome performers and audience members of all ages, races, cultures, etc. to be involved with our concerts. There is not much we can do to boost the diversity except advertise more in certain areas. Large print programs, being close to the Burnsville Transit Station and a fully accessible facility for those with challenges of movement makes it easier for all members of the community to be part of the Orchestra or Chorus or attend our performances. 550 audience members came to hear our performance celebrating our 30th year anniversary which was performed by 24 singers from Dakota Valley Symphony, 140 youth singers from Lakeville North and Lakeville South High Schools, 62 instrumentalists and a soloist. We were able to show how art is a unifier where every person, whether performing or listening, can appreciate the feeling of music.",,12350,"Other, local or private",17350,,"Merry Daher, Shane Fjestad, Jerry Goodrich, Marjorie Heap, Duane Jacobson, Kay Provo, Peggy Sherman, Sean Smith, Matthew Surprenant, Judy Tschumper ",0.00,"Dakota Valley Symphony","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the Gala 30th Anniversary Celebration, a family-friendly concert featuring four selections including a world premiere.

The project will bring an arts experience to West Side residents and contribute to a more art-filled environment and identity in the West Side community; bring increased business to West Side businesses on the day of the Procession and increase awareness of those businesses; and provide rewarding artistic experiences and growth for our group. To evaluate anticipated outcomes we will look at: Media Presence: Facebook (how many posts, shares, likes, and other activity there is about the procession); Email (how many people opened the email and clicked on links, as reported in Mailchimp); Web (how many people looked at the event on our web sites); and News Media (whether the event is in calendar listings, articles, or radio stories/interviews). Audience numbers: We will estimate and record the number of audience members at each site as we go. We will try to identify both situational and intentional audience members. Testimonials: We will have conversations with performers, West Side Community Organization staff, and West Side Community Organization businesses/organizations (procession sites) to get their insights on the questions above. Photo and Video Documentation: We will use these to help confirm estimates of audience numbers, to assess audience reaction and experiences, and to evaluate artistic quality and identify artistic/performance goals for future processions.","We had six artistic goals for this project: Bring more arts experiences to West Side residents; Provide arts experiences that connect with Spanish-speaking audiences; Pique the interest of non-Spanish speakers in Spanish language/culture; Contribute to a more art-filled environment and identity in the West Side community; Benefit businesses along the procession route; and provide rewarding artistic experiences and growth for our group. Overall we were successful in achieving our artistic goals. The Spring Procession took place on Saturday, June 4th, from 3 to 4:30 pm. We met first at Neighborhood House to teach the songs to people who came to process with us. We gave performances at six prearranged sites: El Burrito Mercado (market and restaurant), El Buen Sabor, La Guadalupana (corn roasting stand), Riverview Library, Icy Cup, Wabasha Brewery. The first three goals had to do with impacting West Side, Spanish-speaking, and non-Spanish speaking audiences. We definitely met these goals for the audiences we served. However, we did not have as many audience members as we had hoped for because there were fewer people out in the streets and at the 2nd and 3rd sites than we had anticipated. Goals 4 and 5 had to do with benefits to the West Side community, and we also met these goals. Seeing posters hung in businesses and public places in the neighborhood, and driving by and seeing a colorful procession of people in an unexpected place – all these help to change the feel of the neighborhood for people who are regularly there and make it more art-filled. We also benefited most of the businesses we worked with – El Burrito, Icy Cup, and Wabasha Brewery all had additional customers who were there because of the procession. At Icy Cup we took a break and everyone (about 50 people) had an ice cream cone or other treat. El Buen Sabor provided the food for the ending reception, and there were many people who were at Wabasha Brewery and who celebrated the end of the Procession there. Those three businesses benefited substantially. The final goal was definitely realized. Our group learned a new repertoire for the Procession, gained valuable experience, and had a great time preparing for and doing the Procession. In general, everything worked according to plan. What didn’t work as well as we had hoped was getting people to some of the businesses. For more information, see Question 2 below. If we were to repeat the project, the one question is timing – would there be a better time of day to do this when there might be more people out or when people might be more likely to go out? Or, a date earlier in the spring before people want to spend their weekends outside? We did ask these questions when we planned the Procession, but none of our community partners were sure what date and time would work best. So, if we were to repeat the project, we would just try a different time and/or date. Overall, the community we served was the same as what we outlined in the proposal. We reached our intended community in terms of artists and participants. As noted above, we had approximately 45 participants who processed with us, in addition to the 14 artists. An estimated 60 people saw us at the various venues. That means we served about 120 individuals, which was less than estimated. As noted above, the audience at sites 1, 3, and 4 was smaller than we had hoped. We provided posters and postcards, created a Facebook event and tagging the businesses, getting nice coverage in newspapers La Voz and The Voice, and working one-on-one with the businesses to support them in promoting the event. But it’s not clear that they did as much as they could to draw customers/audiences – perhaps because they didn’t understand what it was until we were actually there. Small, local business owners are inundated with the demands of running their businesses – some suggested (indirectly) that it was difficult for them to add something more to their plates, even if they liked the concept. The flamenco and Spanish audiences who came to see us perform (not participate) was smaller than hoped for (though they did turn out in good numbers to participate in the Procession). The outreach efforts did result in diversity, although we would like to have seen more West Side residents engaged either as audience members or participants. More support from West Side community groups could perhaps have helped support this. Our community partner West Side Community Organization was not as actively involved as we had planned and hoped; and unfortunately, in the days after the Procession was completed their Executive Director abruptly left, which reflects challenges that may have been going on within the organization. The project was very open and accessible to all because it was free of charge, was in the neighborhood where people live/work/shop, and was promoted in both English and Spanish. 14 artists and 45 community members participated in the Procession, which served 60 audience members in 6 venues. 100% of artists and participants surveyed indicated they enjoyed the experience and would like to repeat it.

The DIAL Group will collect participant feedback/surveys to measure the impact and satisfaction of the program's participants, and artist surveys to measure the success related to the program's facilitators. Furthermore, we will audit the project income and expenses to ensure that In Focus activities are completed within projected budget and time frame.","The DIAL (Data-driven Initiatives through Artists Leadership) provided our In Focus: Digital Media Arts and Youth Leadership Program (or simply In Focus) – a program that provides at-risk, under-served youths of color in North Minneapolis a high quality, after-school media arts program, with a service-learning component focused on community engagement and information sharing regarding issues of concern to the participants, their peers, and the community. The artistic goals of In Focus were to: (1) Expand the access to art for communities of color and youth, (2) Leverage the talents of community artists for social betterment, and (3) Develop the artistic interest and skills for at-risk youths of color. We have successfully achieved the three goals we had designed for the program. The DIAL and our partners measured the artistic success through pre- and post-program participant surveys, interviews, focus group discussion and critiques of art projects, and regular monitoring and evaluation of In Focus activities. Several In Focus activities that worked were: Highly skilled artist-organizers provided weekly, after-school media arts training and production session to students of color in North Minneapolis. Artist-organizers demonstrated the power of the arts to positively impact communities, using media arts to engage other youth and community members. In Focus instructors, who are from similar backgrounds as the participants, shared media arts techniques and mentored the youth, to help them develop interest in the arts and positive growth. One program challenge was having the participants attend the program weekly. Although we had good overall participant numbers, weekly attendance numbers fluctuated greatly throughout the program period due to the youth’s busy schedules and competing external activities. We discussed this issue with our program partners and advisors, and decided to implement a stipend, provided by Beacons Minneapolis, for youths who regularly participated in the program. This had a positive impact on the weekly attendance numbers, and we saw more students participating on a consistent basis. Two things we will do differently in future offerings of In Focus are securing resources, internally or externally, for participant stipends; and conducing broader outreach in the school and community to enroll greater number of youth. The DIAL intends to include the youth stipends in the program budget to make it a regular part of the program’s expenses. We will also work with our partners to identify more opportunities to recruit students for the program. We believe these adjustments will improve weekly participation attendance, and lead to program growth. In Focus’ media arts training and leadership program successfully served and benefited our different intended audiences: at-risk youths of color, artists and creative professionals of color, and under-served community members. The reason for serving these specific groups is based on past programming experience and research findings that they face some of the greatest challenges and barriers in the Twin Cities. Participants: 100% of the participants were youths of color from low-income families. Artists: 100% of the artists were from communities of color. Audiences: A great majority of audiences at our presentations were people of color from under-served communities. The DIAL was also successful in meeting our goals for making our project open and accessible for all who wanted to participate. In Focus is a free program so there are no cost barriers for our target participant group of low-income youth. Also, we provide In Focus at our partner school Patrick Henry High School, which is a public high school, meaning all facilities meet ADA regulations. Furthermore, we provided transportation options (bus cards, reimbursement, etc.) to be inclusive of those who want to participate but have ride issue. Quantitatively, we trained and mentored 15+ at-risk, students of color, employed 3 artists of color, and created 4 high-quality media/communications products for the community. Qualitatively, we learned through participant interviews and surveys that 100% of the youth learned to better express themselves through media arts, found it to be a useful tool in supporting the community.",,7500,"Other, local or private",12500,,"David Kang, Kang Vang, Peg Thomas, Raiza Beltran",0.00,"The DIAL GROUP","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for In Focus: Media Arts and Youth Leadership Program, providing at-risk, under-served youths of color in North Minneapolis a high quality, after-school media arts program with a service-learning component focused on community engagement.",2015-12-16,2016-06-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Kang,"The DIAL Group","1930 Glenwood Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55405,"(646) 335-2008 ",davidkang.dial@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-667,"Erin Wisness: Fundraising, organizational development, Community Education; Kevin Vollmers: Fundraising, audience development, organizational development; Amelia Foster: Audience development, community service, general management; Dana Kassel: General management, artistic, audience development; Ann Erickson: Audience development, fundraising, organizational development; Peter Thompson: Artistic, general management, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Amy Crawford (651) 523-6390 ",1

Of the total of those participating, 30% will be youth under the age of 25 years and 20% will be elders over the age of 50 years who have not been exposed to such a project before. We will keep records of participants (counts and break-down by age and by repeated participation) and have regular interviews of experiences. We will particularly focus on questions about previous experience with the arts and solicit feedback on participant reactions to the project and their involvement.","We definitely achieved our artistic goals - we had community members sharing their stories, weighing in on the artistic depiction of the symbols of those stories, painting the mural, and demonstrating pride in the accomplishment through verbal statements throughout the process. What worked well was drawing the symbols from the stories, and attracting painters, especially when the mural began to take shape. The youth were particularly engaged in the process, participating and showing delight in their assistance with making the image take shape. What didn't work so well was our partnership with the apartment management - they did not assist with recruitment to the level they promised and did not seem willing (as they had said they would be) to provide our organizers with access to their facilities for our own recruitment. So recruitment happened in a less systematic way than we had hoped. We also discovered that in the Somali community art projects are felt to be for young people, and not something that adults do, so having adult supervisors of children participating was a great struggle. Our older youth, who were to assist with this were more interested in painting themselves than in supervising younger children as they painted. Bottom line is that the project involved far more staff and artist time to supervise than we anticipated. In addition, we had a change-over in our staff (not the artist) working on the project that was anticipated. However, what was not anticipated was the impact this would have on our recruiting, especially in light of the lack of assistance from the area management at the site. The weather this summer was another major challenge. When painting days were scheduled, too often they had to be canceled due to weather. This affected our timeline, which then ran into conflicts with the artist's and staff time constraints. But the surface was perfect for the project, its location made it very visible to passers-by, who commented extremely positively, sent children to participate, and in some instances came to paint themselves. People were proud, and the youth were EXTREMELY proud, of the design and the beauty of the final project. As a first project of its kind in our area, this project will act as a spark to the imagination of other neighbors. In subsequent projects, we will allow more time for completion, we make sure that there is more buy-in at the get-go, and we will include all levels of people in the planning to assure that there are no logistical surprises as we move forward. The overall premise and the ultimate outcome, however, were dynamite!! We successfully met our goals for participation although we would have liked to have doubled or tripled the participation on the design end of the work. We had almost 100 people participating in design and painting, and 40 people at the celebration. Again, we also found that for people new to art projects such as this, neighbors had to see the mural taking shape to actually commit to participating in the painting. Once that happened, however, they grew from merely curious to active participants. The artist and our staff were good at drawing people in, accepting them where they were in feeling comfortable with the arts, and letting them explore the possibilities. We drew a broader range of people than we expected from the neighborhood, and not just from the apartments, which was helpful in building a broader sense of community. But we had fewer older adult Somalis and other East Africans participating as a result of preconceptions from their cultures about who art activities are designed for - children, not adults. That we drew Asian and white participants was a positive thing, because it brought African immigrants, African Americans, Asian Americans and white folks together to work on something they could all take pride in. Our outreach efforts certainly resulted in diversity, but if our outreach partners had participated more fully, our overall numbers could have been much greater. We were quite clear on expectations from the beginning about this partnership responsibility, but getting it in writing and having continuing face-to-face meetings would have helped. The fact that we had our youth group doing some recruiting, that we were in a very public place along a public thoroughfare, and that the work took place in the summer when families were enjoying a range of cross-generational activities all made the project accessible and attractive. The fact that the design was so dynamic, colorful and enticing also helped. The symbols spoke to everyone. mural design from stories - ""I am amazed the artist could capture everything we talked about and make something so unified and beautiful"", ""you all are doing great work - keep it up - this neighborhood really needs this!"" complaint ""why didn't you do the whole wall??"" 100 part and 40 people at party (cold day in October!). 75% people of color, mostly African-American and African immigrants.

We also had live entertainment by the Family Trade, artist demonstrations, raku pottery firing and pop-up artist tents. Each of these activities invited participants to interact directly with artwork, art making and/or artists. A new activity included this year was the Community Supported Art project. This project, modeled after Community Supported Agriculture, featured 25 shares of artwork from 6 local artists. Each share include 6 original pieces of artwork created just for the 2016 Community Supported Art. Artwork included: set of hand painted greeting cards, photo of Eagan's natural settings, pyrograph coasters featuring Eagan locations, horse hair fired pottery piece, fused glass platter and an oversize clay serving bowl. While, it was challenging to explain a new concept to the community, it was very well received and offered a unique way for people to connect to artists and their artwork in a very personal manner. Community Supported Art buyers picked up their box at the Harvest event and were able to meet each artist. We are planning to repeat the project again in 2017. 2.) Skill building for artists. The Eagan Artist Connect group continued to grow with 80+ Facebook group members and regular monthly attendance of 25-30 artists. We hosted Springboard for the Arts' ""Career Planning for Artists,"" ""Framing Your Artwork"" with Wet Paint and a presentation by mnartists.org. We also invited members of the group to speak on areas of their own expertise, including ""Applying for Art Festivals"" and ""hands on pricing workshop with Excel."" The group also had 2 art making sessions, allowing artists to create work, sketch and share ideas. The guest speakers and discussion topics were helpful and imparted valuable information to artists working in the community. This project succeeded in deepening connections between the artists and the Eagan community through several strategies, including the Community Supported Art project, the Harvest exhibit and event activities. The project allowed the community to engage in a variety of ways from viewing to buying to participating. This multi-focus on engagement is a key component to the project. For future artistic/community engagement projects, we will repeat the Community Supported Art and Harvest event activities. The focus on skill building for artists through Eagan Artist Connect continues to face challenges. This multi-disciplinary group has great synergy, but lacks internal leadership for sustainability. Staff struggles with capacity to adequately support this group. The group will continue, but will need to re-assess their goals moving forward.

The professional development workshops and monthly meetings attracted new artists to engage. All six Community Supported Art artists were already involved in the Eagan Art House Community. However, one artists was fairly new at artwork production, so the Community Supported Art opportunity was a great way for her to strengthen her connections to the community as an artist in addition to being a well-known business owner. The artists who participated in pop-up artist booths at the Harvest of Art Event had exhibited or sold with art house events before. However, 2 of them had not had an artist booth before. All of the individual artist connections with the community represented a broad diversity of media, including pottery, watercolor painting, photography, fused glass, acrylic painting, jewelry, oil painting, and wood burning (pyrography). We also reached a broad diversity in age from the young participants in the raku pottery firing and exhibitors to the senior adult population. The Harvest of Art Exhibit was a prime example of representing a diversity of skill levels of art making. Because of the welcoming nature of this community visual art exhibition, we highlighted the very beginning artists to the very skilled artists, and every skill level in between. Some artists are self-taught and work on their own. Others have taken art classes for many years and make most of their art at the Eagan Art House. One mother and daughter pair both entered work into the exhibit - the mother started painting to spend creative time with her daughter. The Harvest of Art Event also attracted new audience members from diverse communities in Eagan, especially those from India and East Asia. We also saw an uptick in new volunteers. As far as accessibility, our activities were very accessible to artists and to the community. Artist workshops with Springboard for the Arts and with Wet Paint Artist Supply were free. The Harvest Event was free to attend and Raku pottery was for sale at $5, $10 and $15 levels. The facility of the Eagan Art House is ADA accessible. We paid special attention that the parts of the event that took place on the outdoor grounds of the Art House could be accessed by those with mobility challenges. For example, the artist pop up tents and registration table were both on asphalt to aid in accessibility. Grassy areas were kept clear of barriers. A video of the event was produced by ETV and broadcast on local cable TV. On-line promotional materials were formatted to allow for audio transcription. Event attendance increased from 275 in 2015 to 400 in 2016. Local artists supported was strengthened. From a survey of Community Supported Art purchasers, 2 of the respondents didn't know any of the artists when they purchased, showing a support of local artists regardless of who it was. All of those who responded had purchased or contacted the artist after the Community Supported Art. 6 artists participated in the first ever Community Supported Art.",,14398,"Other, local or private",19398,,"Jerry Farlee, Nathan Neuman, Michael Palmer, Dorothy Peterson, Andrea Todd Harlin, David Wietecki, Dave Morris",0.00,"City of Eagan Parks and Recreation AKA Eagan Art House","Local/Regional Government","Community Arts",,"Funding for Art Connect Eagan, a year-long project connecting local visual artists and the Eagan community through monthly artist gatherings, the annual Harvest of Art Celebration event featuring a visual art exhibition, artist demonstrations, artist vend",2016-01-01,2016-12-18,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Julie,Andersen,"City of Eagan Parks and Recreation","3830 Pilot Knob Rd Eagan Art House",Eagan,MN,55122-1810,"(651) 675-5521 ",jandersen@cityofeagan.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Dakota,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-670,"Anna Buchholz: Audience development, artistic, Community Education; Josh LaGrave: Artistic, fundraising, organizational development; Christine Shyne: General management, audience development, youth programming; Scott Swanson: General management, artistic, finance; Mary Beth King: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Hannah Rosholt: Artistic; Joanna Cortright: Education, Community Education, artistic; Peter Carlson: Artistic, general management, volunteerism; Donna Lindsay-Goodwin: General management, fundraising, audience development.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Amy Crawford (651) 523-6390 ",1

Our youth were able to perform in a safe and loving environment, where their peers, families, friends and the community came out to support them. The older youth voluntarily became mentors to the younger youth. Helping them in all areas of the program; during art class, dance and drumming. This was beneficial as we had more younger youth. Moving forward, with our youth program, we would like to incorporate instructor assistants for each class. This would help the instructors keep their classes more structured. It would also help with smooth transition of students moving to and from each class. We were able to reach out to our intended community, as we described in our grant. This was made possible through all of our communications; Facebook, website, e-mail distribution list, flyers within the community and by word of mouth. The program was also accessible because of the center we utilized and the location, which is by major public transportation, such as the green line and buses.

We hope to successfully incorporate multimedia into a concert and establish this capability for East Metro Symphony Orchestra in future performances. Evaluation methods will include audience count; audience survey results; and post-performance feedback from audience members, artistic partners, orchestra members, and technical support.","East Metro Symphony Orchestra achieved most of the artistic goals outlined in our proposal. Our three performances were family-friendly, our audiences were enthusiastic about the programs presented, our orchestra members embraced the music selections and found them appropriately diverse and challenging, individual orchestra members were showcased and our collaborations continued with two Senior Living communities. Our Senior Living concerts were well received, with a 20% increase in audience size and they continue to be a satisfying tradition in our concert seasons. For the May concert, our original proposal had to be modified (see 4. Project Changes) because of the sudden and unexpected dissolution of our musical partnership with Saint Mark's Lutheran Church. We performed at that venue as planned, but were not able to present a concert in collaboration with their music director and choir. The program we substituted, however, more than met our goals. We connected with the Twin Cities Russian community, showcased Saint Mary's Balalaika Orchestra and a superbly talented local Russian pianist, and hosted a display for concert attendees provided by the Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis. We successfully added a multi-media component to this concert that both challenged and expanded our capabilities as an organization. Beyond the musical challenges of this May concert, the expenses and logistics of coordinating with Saint Mark's media people and equipment requirements (including bringing in a concert grand piano) were much more demanding than for our typical concerts. Orchestra members and volunteers rose to the challenges with creative solutions to problems and extra donations to cover additional expenses. Our success with this concert gave us the confidence to try something like it again. We now know some of the complications to anticipate, and more about how much lead time it takes for planning. Because this May concert was an unexpected substitution for our original plans, we did a lot of scrambling to pull it together. We learned that as a group we are capable of doing this, but also that we need to keep working on expanding and maintaining adequate volunteer resources both within and outside of the orchestra to support our future efforts. We were not able fulfill the goal of strengthening our collaboration with the Saint Mark's music program, due to the sudden departure of the music director. We did, however, keep our association with the church as a performance venue. We went beyond serving the community we intended to and expected to. The Senior Living concert at Stonecrest had an audience that was larger and more diverse in age than we expected, because the facility advertised it to its greater community (beyond just residents). Because of the change in our May concert offering we actually expanded the diversity of our audience culturally and geographically. We attracted members of the Twin Cities Russian community because of our concert program. Our outreach also resulted in more audience members from the Minneapolis area. To be more accessible, we offered ASL support (upon request) and large print programs. We had no requests for the ASL support and so did not provide it at this concert. We did have a number of audience members who took advantage of the large print programs. We will continue to offer these supports at future concerts. East Metro Symphony Orchestra successfully organized and presented a multi-media concert, establishing the groundwork and confidence to do something like this again in the future. We also began a very positive relationship with a new Senior Living facility, Stonecrest. We expect to continue this affiliation.

Artistic quality and the committee's commitment to making the morning meaningful for families has created an event that families now put on their calendars in advance so they don't miss the opportunity to be part of this free event that combines fun and learning. For the 2nd year in a row, we added performances on the main commons stage area. We added an Appalachian clogging dance group to the mix this year. It was very popular. We had planned for the added congestion this viewing area would cause and decided to adjust the floor plan accordingly. We moved some visiting authors to another area of the event where they could speak with guests more easily. We added more demonstrations from pottery, painting and performing artists in the hallways. As always, we tried to connect as many books as possible to each activity. This subtle association is intentional, capitalizing on every opportunity to promote literacy and the relevance of the arts in our lives. Each year attendance grows so we have had to plan for the purchase of books - each child receives a free book. We have added more diversity to our selection and added more books for younger children in the mix. We will be seeking additional sponsorship funding to provide these books in the future. This year's event welcomed more than 2,500 community members. Children from all ages, toddlers through fifth grade, attended with parents, grandparents and neighbors. The event was free. Free transportation was offered, but not highly utilized. Our intercultural specialists worked with families to share information about the event.

Membership has decreased by 7 due to some of our more elderly members having health problems or not feeling able to keep up the schedule. New members are open to join at any time and we are contacting senior centers in the Southwest Metro and working to get more publicity to encourage more members. 100% of audience surveys were positive about the type of music provided and enjoyed the sing a long format. At most performances 25-65% of the audiences responded by clapping or moving to the music as they were not able to sing along for some reason.

The musicians and the board were satisfied with the outcome. The board met on June 2, 2016 to review and evaluate the season. The project was an opportunity for Encore to collaborate with guest conductors, Jack Stamp and Lindsay Boyd, and to share the stage with young musicians at Edina High School and the University of Minnesota. The organization continues to partner with other organizations and musicians to grow our audience and grow artistically. All Encore concerts were free and open to the public to eliminate any financial barriers, and all are held in public spaces that are handicap accessible. The repertoire for this project was intended to introduce people to a range of different musical styles and genres by playing known wind ensemble music as well as newly composed pieces. Encore has a commitment to connect with young people through our concerts, and we achieved this by sharing programs with the University of Minnesota Symphonic Band and the Edina High School Concert Band. These performances introduced us to the student members and parents of the students to demonstrate the opportunities to perform through adulthood. There were approximately 70 college students at the university concert approximately 140 elementary through high school students at the Edina concert. Encore’s publicity was mostly electronic for this project with a limited amount of printed material. Emails were sent to the mailing list of 350 supporters and Facebook was used to publicize the events. Post cards were printed with the season’s events. These were sent by individual members to friends and family. The heart of our audience is comprised of family and friends of the ensemble so we have focused on using that strength of relationships to build our audience base. Combined audiences of approximately 750. 140 were under 18, and 70 were college students. Performances in Minneapolis, Wayzata, and Edina bring music to different communities.

We will have a survey form to be filled out by concert attendees.","The performance of Emmanuel was artistically successful in that the additional 36 musicians from the community were high-quality and the number of rehearsals with the entire ensemble was adequate to prepare for the performances. By seating the additional singers among and between the regular Exultate professionals, they were supported in learning the music and blending with the ensemble. After many years of performing a large work with added musicians, we have developed a strong system that works and will continue this process of auditioning and rehearsing the larger group. Dr. Rossin held a demonstration/lecture at each of the three concerts and the feedback from the audience surveys was very positive. We were very pleased with the audience for this event - 518 in attendance. Although we did not increase our attendance over last year we believe that was because of the less popular work of music we were performing and not because of the efforts made to increase the audience size. The Exultate musicians were given complimentary tickets to give only to someone who has never attended an Exultate concert before and of those in attendance, 50 were new as a result of this program. We also had many ""under age 30"" concertgoers so we believe our reduced ticket price ($5) for that age group has had a positive impact.

35894,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Artistic outcome: An open call sent to artists nationally and internationally will yield high-quality submissions of both accessible and challenging works of art in the book form. Quantitatively, we want to present the work of 50 artists. Logistics and Partnerships: A good working relationship with Saint Paul Parks and Recreation and a canoe rental business will make logistics of an on-water project as easy as possible and will ensure that people can access the Library through subsidized boat rental. Media: Significant media attention will be garnered and readers far and wide will see the work of Minnesota artists along with the natural and cultivated resources of one of Saint Paul’s largest city parks. Experiential: Hundreds of people will be moved by experiences they have with artwork and each other at the Floating Library. Specific demographics include people in these categories: a. new to Saint Paul b. new to Lake Phalen c. new to artist books. The artistic goals of the project will be met in the success of the open call and project commissions, themselves will be successful by engaging the advisory committee to thoroughly advertise the call. The experiential success of the project will be evaluated in two ways: 1. informally by project staff and volunteers as they engage with Library patrons 2. Through a “guestbook” Library patrons can sign. A book artist will design a floating book that patrons can sign while visiting the raft to leave their impressions that may also include a take-away postcard or other component. We also collect attendance numbers and make efforts to gather data on park attendance and boat rental numbers from Saint Paul Park and Recreation and Wheel Fun Rentals. A tally of media mentions, articles, news interviews, etc. will prove the success of our media goals. The project will be successful financially if expenses are kept within budget.","We achieved the goal of commissioning 4 artists to make inventive new works for the collection. St Paul artist Aaron Johnson-Ortiz made a bilingual book exploring exile, solidarity, and oblivion through water, light, and walking. Minneapolis-based artist Caitlin Warner made a silk-screened, reversible book that juxtaposed fish in water with stars in the sky. Toy, game and graphic designer Tou Yia Xiong made a waterproof book sewn with fishing line illustrating animals and their names in English and White Hmong. Seattle-based artist Martine Workman create a trio of books in honor of Minnesota’s patron musical saint Prince. An open call promoted via Facebook, Floating Library website, email and to 68 list-serves nationally and internationally yielded 75 submissions. 60 of these were selected for inclusion on the raft (50 was the goal). Many of the artists responded enthusiastically to the themes of water, immigration, St Paul history and climate change that we put forward as optional in the call. We received many submissions around the theme of water, including a hand-sewn book made to float and a book made to dissolve in the water after being read aloud each day. We turned this into a daily performance where a Floating Librarian on shift 1 would read the poetry out loud and ceremonially toss the page into the water to biodegrade. These inventive forms challenge and expand the definition of a “book” -- one of our artistic goals. The operations of the Open Call were much better organized this year thanks to the participation of the Floating Library’s Co-Captain and Open Call Organizer who completed efficient communications with the artists. We asked for a limited number of copies to reduce the need to mail extra copies back to artists. We also added a book-making workshop component in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library in the neighborhood of Lake Phalen. Commissioned artist Johnson-Ortiz led a free, hands-on workshop for people to make books about their heritage and family history using simple tools and the immigration history resources at East Side Freedom Library. 10 people ages 3-70 attended. Areas for improvement: A less successful component was soliciting books in languages other than English through the Open Call. Two of the commissioned books were bilingual, but our network is slow to grow in bilingual communities. With the new relationships forged with new artists this year, however, this is changing. If/when the Floating Library floats again I would repeat many of these artistic strategies (commissioning, open call) and would give more time to the workshop component. Simple bookmaking is incredibly accessible -- it can be taught in an afternoon. People love to tell their stories and the Floating Library is a good platform for the dissemination of stories not found in popular media. I would continue working with the commissioned artists to further network to bilingual book artists, and hold more workshops in communities where English is not the first language. Intended communities: Artists: 64 artists were successfully presented; 60 through the open call and 4 commissioned. Artists express gratitude and excitement for being in the project. Several returning artists made new work for the Open Call. Volunteers: 35 volunteers completed 64 shifts in 3 hour increments on the Library’s 7 open days (1 day was rained out). 25 of them attended Volunteer Orientation at Phalen’s Lakeside Activities Center to learn about the project get to know each other. About 1/3 of the volunteers returned from previous years, with 2/3rds new participation. Patrons: The intended patrons as described in the grant include St Paul residents new to Lake Phalen; metro area residents new to St Paul, and boaters already on the water. The Library’s playful survey tool asked patrons to identify whether they usually spend time on water and where the live, among other questions. Of 96 collected surveys, we know: 14% of visitors were surprised to find the Floating Library on the water; 82% of visitors were not surprised, indicating they came for the project; 7% did not respond. 42% live in Minneapolis, 28% live in St Paul. 28% rarely go boating, 40% sometimes go boating, 28% often go boating. Lake Phalen was listed only 16 times of 96 surveys in response to a fill-in-the-blank asking “Most-visited Twin Cities Lakes and Rivers.” These stats indicate that the project did succeed in drawing people to Lake Phalen for the first time, and in drawing Minneapolis residents to Lake Phalen. The Mississippi River, Lake Calhoun and Como Lake were the top most frequently visited lakes as indicated in the question above. Populations benefitting: The higher percentage of Minneapolis residents than St Paul residents was slightly surprising, though in anecdotal conversations many people said they had attended the project in Minneapolis previously. Fewer patrons than expected were already on the lake in boats. Overall we found Lake Phalen to be a less-used body of water. Upon observation, we saw that many people use the lake, but from its edges. Getting people to the lake is different than getting people on the water, as it turns out. Outreach: The community partnerships that proved most successful were Saint Paul Parks and Recreation and East Side Freedom Library. Multiple attempts to speak with other civic and arts groups on St Paul’s East Side were unsuccessful. We learned that focusing on a deeper relationship with 1 or 2 partners is a better use of time than trying to work broadly with many. The outreach efforts provided by Parks and Rec were minimal, unfortunately. Openness and Accessibility: The Floating Library’s placement in a public park with amenities of ample parking, inexpensive boat rental (further subsidized by the Floating Library) and the location of the Library within easy paddling distance from the beach contributed to a relative ease in reaching the project for those able to paddle a boat. Signage at the boat rental announced discounted rates. 370 people boated to the Floating Library; 35 volunteers participated; 250 boat rentals through the City of St Paul, half of which were subsidized. Survey data states a strong positive experience among patrons. “Delightful” “fun” and “relaxing” were the most common words. 64 artists were presented. We deepened relationships with the commissioned artists, including 2 artists new to the Floating Library network.",,15000,"Other, local or private",20000,,"Molly Van Avery, Moheb Soliman, Allison Herrera, Sam Gould, Margit Wilson",0.00,"The Floating Library",Individual,"Community Arts",,"Funding for The Floating Library, a public art initiative that brings artistsÆ books to people recreating on an urban lake.

After a planning process that began in January, rehearsals starting in May, Shrek Jr was performed on July 21st and 22nd. Forte Fine Arts Academy's production of Shrek Jr was able to meet the goals set forth in the grant of building theatrical skills for the 34 youth performers and 4 technicians through a structured rehearsal process. The students were an integral part of the development process, they were able to take time to learn about the art and science behind live performance. Students aided in the creation of the play through development of their characters, as well as, hands on time spent building and creating the physical environment. The student actors built costumes, props and participated in scenic painting and set construction. They ran and learned about the use and responsibility of live sound accompanied with performance in a large auditorium as 90% of the cast wore body microphones for the shows. Additionally, Shrek Jr gave the students and adult leaders the opportunity to explore the themes of inclusion and acceptance expressed in the script. As the students were ages 10-16, these themes are immediately applicable to their lives. Shrek Jr also allowed for the exploration of a history of Musical Theatre as the script is referential of the genre. One a weekly basis, the adult leader explored with the children the history of musical theatre and comedy and its role in society. Using the script as source material, the production team were able delve into process and create foundational learning opportunities for the students. The challenges were often of a logistical nature. During the summer, families are pulled in many directions. Commitment and regular attendance were sometimes outside the control of the children participant. Other times, older student participants made choices that reduced their availability. The adult leaders had to work to be both compassionate but also offer structure, guidelines, and expectations around this behavior. In future years, we intend to create a contract for the students and parents to sign in setting these expectations at the start of the commitment. We are also investigating ways to better accommodate our participants and families and to balance their commitment in the very busy summer time. Another challenge of future productions will be in finding equally strong source material for this age group. The strong themes of belonging, acceptance and parent- child relations in Shrek Jr aided in the learning and development process. Yes, we did reach our intended audience. In regards to youth participants, we fell slightly short of our goal of 37 paid and 3 scholarships. We had 30 paid youth performers. In regards to audience, we exceeded our audience predictions of 200 patrons per performance with 287 and 212 attendees for a total of 499. We made a decision to reduce our average ticket price to make the show more accessible but while that increased our patronage it did decrease our predicted ticket sales dollars. (Forecast $3000 in tickets sales. In actuality, sales totaled $2705.) We did seek youth participants that represented socio-economically, as well as, ability and racial diversity. As a result, we outpaced the local demographic with 6 (17%) need based scholarship students, 5 (14%) students with Individualized Education Programs and varied levels of ability, and 7 (20%) children of color out of 34 youth participants. In future productions, we plan to continue to focus on material that allows for and engages diverse populations. In recruiting participants, we worked with teachers and administrators from the local 3 middle and 2 high schools, we provided a channel to privately request scholarships and kept the paid participant pricing in line with what was offered by the schools similar programming. (In our post production survey, 78% respondents placed the participation fee of $80 as appropriately priced or low.) We engaged the school district's art, music and band teachers to promote the show to their students. We also drew on our participants for our previous year's production and their family and friends which included students from the home school community, private school and a charter high school. We were uniquely able to serve a population of students that bridged 11 schools (including a student from intermediate school district 917 which serves children with disabilities), as well as, a private school, home school and online school students. This artistic endeavor included youth performers and technicians (34 performers and 4 technicians). The two performances reached 499 audience members. In the post-show survey, 90.9% of respondents remarked that they were Very Satisfied with the overall production process and the remaining 9.1% identified in the next highest category as Somewhat Satisfied.",,5960,"Other, local or private",10960,,"Joy Afdahl, Daniel Brown, Nancy Whipple, Elisa Brown, Sherry Boan, Shelly Carroll, Kris Koenig",0.00,"Forte Fine Arts Academy","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to present Shrek, Jr., a 60 minute musical based on the animated movie and adapted for young performers.

The renovation of the Fridley Auditorium would provide challenges and opportunities for our organization. We were able to achieve almost all of our goals for the production. We had a large cast of both new and returning actors to fill the stage. We put on a high quality production that we were quite proud of and provided many opportunities both on and off stage for individuals to participate. We had a diverse and varied group of participants that brought many view points and backgrounds to our production and provided an accessible and welcoming environment for everyone involved. We however did not draw an audience of 1500 people to our show. We knew that doing an unknown show in a new space would be difficult, but we were surprised how important name recognition is in drawing an audience. We were saddened by the lack of regular followers of our organization that did not come to see the show. We hit them often with many different forms of communication, but it was not strong enough to get them into our seats. It was definitely more work to put on the show in a space that was not our own, mainly due to the amount of materials and supplies that we had to transport into and out of the space. But it was worth the work to still be able to put on a show during our summer of construction. We had our most dedicated and consistent social media presence to date due to two new advisory members that focused just on that aspect of promotion, but it is possible that a large percentage of our followers do not pay attention to social media. We need to improve other methods of communication that are effective with those individuals and increase the number of followers that are swayed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The people that did show up to see the show had a wonderful time and the comment that we kept hearing over and over from them was that they could tell that the cast was having a wonderful experience on stage. They could easily tell that all of the cast members really enjoyed performing the show. We got the idea to have a drawing to give audience members a chance to appear on stage in the show. At intermission we drew two names that we then brought back stage, dressed them in costume and allowed to appear on stage during the first 15 minutes of the second act. We had cast members who had the responsibility of guiding them around the stage and showing how they could participate. They all had a great time doing it. It would not work in every production, but it is something that we will keep in our box of tools to increase opportunities for our audience members. Letting them appear on stage was truly unique. We were very happy with the cast for Lady Pirates. It was a nice mix of new people and returning actors. Minnesota Playlist is by far the best method of bringing the show to the attention of actors in the Twin Cities. The cast had their usual following of supporters that we rely on to bring in audience members. They came in the expected numbers that support a typical actor. We feel that we also were able to cultivate some new audience members from the Spring Lake Park community that was curious to see our show. We participated in Spring Lake Park’s community festival parade for the first time. Walking down the street in pirate costumes and swinging cutlasses drew a lot of attention from the younger parade watchers. We felt very welcomed and supported by the Spring Lake Park community. That was a very successful event that we feel we may want to continue when we return to the Fridley Stage. We utilized a large number of the Spring Lake Park student technicians to run the show. They all had a great time and we feel that we have built some strong bonds that will be valuable for future productions. We had a comical bit in the beginning of the show that called for all the sailors on board to abandon ship when they first see the pirate ship approaching. We obtained a large crash pad and placed it behind the structure of the ship. Everyone had a great time leaping off the second story of the stage set unto the crash pad. The Spring Lake Park students even brought in their friends to be able to leap unto it. We could have sold tickets for that experience alone. Our matinee performance was signed in ASL. It is important to us that we offer that service. We have not always had the deaf community in attendance. It was very rewarding that new audience members discovered our production and were able to take advantage of this service. The interpreters also have a much better experience when they are actually helping individuals enjoy the show. But we really struggled in getting audience members to come and see an unknown production. Those people that did come were all pleasantly surprised that it was such an entertaining show. We feel that we did get a very good cross section of the community. The staff from nearby Mounds View Community Theatre came to see our final performance after their show run was completed. One of them were selected to be a part of the audience experience on stage. They commented on how difficult it was for them to get people to come and see a show that did not have strong name recognition. We had actually gone to see their production before ours opened, going on their pay what you can performance. They had a very small attendance at that show. We feel that we have a good reputation for putting on a professional, high quality show that is entertaining for the audience that comes to see it. We need to figure out how to take advantage of that reputation and get people to come. It is just not enough to say, if you build it they will come. They don’t always come. We were successful in casting a high quality, diverse cast that put on a professional and entertaining show. We brought new talent to our stage even without the pull of a big name show. We were very happy with the final product. We were sad that we only attracted 741 people to our production. We had hoped for an average attendance of 250 people per show.

Teen Gallery, Kids Art Activities and Swede Hollow History booth will also be featured. We hope to exceed last year's record of 15000 visitors, weather cooperating! We will give all artists, volunteers and staff written evaluations. Visitors may evaluate through surveys handed out upon leaving the festival, or on line.","Art in the Hollow encourages artists to demonstrate their process as they display their work. Some examples of how this goal was met this year include the Karen Weavers, whose booth included a loom to show the weaving process. The Midwestern Avian Adoption and Rescue Services booth featured photographs of rescued birds painting the art that was on display. Another example was the “Pop-Up Ting,” which explained and demonstrated the artistic elements of a classical China garden. This year we excelled at attracting exhibitors who were new to Art in the Hollow, and in some cases, who were displaying their work for the first time. Cameren Torgerud from the newly opened “Studio Payne” gallery commented, “Everything went well for me!” First time outdoor exhibitor Saskia Nichols of Sheherazade’s Daughters commented, “I have ideas for next year already!” Potter Joanie Miller commented, “I sold my pottery for the first time there and did well.” The goal of recruiting talent via our immediate ethnic community was also met this year. One great example is the American Indian Magnet School dancers and drummers, who explained the meaning behind each dance they performed and invited the community to join them in a pow-wow as a finale. A volunteer commented, “What I love best about our community is our diversity. Art in the Hollow provided opportunity to speak with women whose culture is new to me, 20 somethings finding a path in life, artists describing their work, and friends.” Local students were integrally involved. We were delighted to have the East Side Thrive after school program return to present a musical production about Swede Hollow history. Johnson High School students sold ceramics at the Teen Activities tent and youth from the Dayton’s Bluff Recreation Center staffed the Kids Activities tent. Other successes this year included: Improved sound for the performance stage, which was powered by a solar generator for the first time. Hope Community Academy has been a great partner, providing a rain site and parking free of charge. In spite of some issues with recruiting artists, the sculpture contest was much better than last year and we had excellent entries. Many artists reported successful sales, including potter Carin Ekstrand, who said “I did better at Art in the Hollow than Grand Old Days the next day.” There also seemed to be great camaraderie among the exhibitors, and one first-timer said “I did learn a lot about what it takes to be in an art fair. Other vendors near me were very nice and helpful.” Challenges included: We had slightly fewer exhibitors (45 total) and attendees this year (1500 total), probably due to the forecast which predicted rain all day, and we did get a brief shower. Some volunteers and a few exhibitors expressed exhaustion due to the physical demands of the location and not enough support. Some exhibitors said the sites were a bit cramped and requested that the grass be cut back more. Outreach included social media (Facebook, artinthehollow.org), flyers at local businesses, and a press release that was distributed to local media (including St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Star Tribune, East Side Review, and Dayton’s Bluff District Forum). This year for the first time MPR broadcast an interview with organizer Romi Slowiak. The CABARET! “East Side’s Got Talent” fundraising event was a great success and had the benefit of attracting new talented performers and serving as a preview to the Art in the Hollow Festival for the community. We make Art in the Hollow accessible to our low-income community by offering a day of performances, artistic demonstrations, and public sculpture free of charge. We also offer affordable entry fees for exhibitors and vendors. To help meet the physical challenges of this venue, volunteers provided assistance with set-up and tear-down. We also provided dollies to help artists carry their materials to the sites. The police returned this year to offer assistance with their “mule” mini car. The Wise Elders history booth was relocated to a more central location to make it easier to access, especially for the elderly. Some exhibitors were also located above the park entrance so they would not have to transport their materials up and down the steep tunnel. We will continue to offer this option at future festivals. In spite of its challenges, Swede Hollow Park remains a beloved location. An exhibitor commented “This is a beautiful way to introduce people to the park…I saw a bluebird, a hummingbird, and cardinals!” Another vendor described the park as “magical.” While difficult to quantify, Art in the Hollow is a gathering where our community uses art to connect with our history, our diverse cultures, and with nature. East Side resident Cathy Saunders commented “I made an effort to let all of the vendors I visited know that I appreciated them sharing their talents with the neighborhood. It certainly has made an impressive impact on my life…”",,10861,"Other, local or private",15861,,"Karin DuPaul, Mike Grealish, Jim Davidson, Murph Dawkins, Bette Johnson, Romi Slowiak, Andy Twedt, Angela DuPaul, Brad Griffith",0.00,"Friends of Swede Hollow","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 7th annual Art in the Hollow ~ Artists in Action, a one-day multidisciplinary outdoor arts festival.

Our quantitative goals are to sell 400 tickets to our weekend performances at Maplewood Community Center in May, to achieve a ticket sales demographic of 35% seniors and 5% children; to achieve our financial goals as stated in the project budget; and to successfully schedule and deliver a minimum of three free summer performances at various venues. Methods of evaluation will include a count of ticket sales/calculation of demographics; comparison of financial results to the project budget; count of summer performances and solicitation of informal word-of-mouth feedback from summer audience members; survey of Maplewood Community Center audience members at our May performances; and a formal survey and annual meeting with Harmonic Relief choir members to assess the success of our qualitative goals for the participants.","Our artistic goals included providing a creative/challenging/fun experience for our artists and an entertaining performance for our audiences. We hoped to attract 400 audience members to our spring show, and provide at least three free summer performances. These goals were largely met, with the exception of selling 400 tickets (approximately 340 were sold). Our artists (singers/instrumentalists) indicated that they found presenting this show to be artistically creative and challenging, as well as great fun! Audience members, both at our theater show and our free summer shows, have consistently told us how well they liked the performance. While we did not sell as many tickets to our spring show as we would have liked, we did provide 5 free summer performances which were enthusiastically received and well attended, including the Como Pavilion in St. Paul, the Edina 4th of July parade, Bryant Square Park in Minneapolis, Roseville Central Park in Roseville, and the Birchwood Village Music Series in in Birchwood. One strength of our process is our team repertoire planning to select a wide range of musical styles and levels, which helps ensure all singers have some challenge and audience members are exposed to both old favorites as well as songs that may be new to them. Another strength is our show chair/co-chair approach, which ensures someone is marshaling all the details of the operations and helping all details to be met. Our vocal coach ensures the music achieves the highest degree of excellence possible, which our choreographer works with the show chair to come up with a cohesive look, feel and flow to the show. Our challenge is to put more emphasis on our marketing efforts to attract more audience members to our spring show, which features all the bells and whistles (emcee, horns, drums, bass, lighting and projections, etc.) that make the show a real event. The free summer concerts do not include all of these features, and they really make the experience special for those in attendance, so in future better use of local media and other forms of marketing need to be engaged to get the word out and grow our audience. While we added selling space in our programs for ads and offered concessions, which recouped most of the lost ticket revenue, our goal is really to present to a bigger audience - so that is our challenge for the future. One community we serve is that group of adults (primarily, but not exclusively, in the east metro) who want to participate in the art form of show choir. Another community is that of people who enjoy live choral shows and may enjoy a show choir format, primarily focused on the east metro area. Our target audience includes adults, families with children, and seniors. Our spring show audience comprised above our target of 31% (closer to 40%) of seniors attending and slightly below the target of 5% of children attending. The Maplewood theater is fully ADA-compliant and is intimate enough to ensure good sight lines and good acoustics. In order to reach audiences that may not be able to attend or afford our show at the Maplewood Community Center, we presented portions of ""Magic to Do"" at several free summer music series, including Como Pavilion, Edina 4th of July parade, Bryant Square Park music series, Roseville Central Park music series, and Birchwood Village Music Series. These events are completely free and open to the public and generally in venues that are accessible, with diverse audiences (economically, ethnically and age). The audiences at these events include toddlers up to great-grandparents and reflect the economic and ethnic diversity of area residents. While we only get verbal feedback from the audiences, overwhelmingly they tell us how much they enjoyed the show. Although the show choir genre necessarily includes physical movement, we continue to strive for ways to performers to be engaged as their physical limitations will allow. This is the second year in which a member had a physical challenge that we were able to work with, so that they were fully engaged in the production without any discernible distraction to the audience. We are happy to be able to offer this flexibility for those that want to participate. Our singers unanimously indicated that the music and choreography included in this project was creatively challenging and fun. Over 70% of our audience members surveyed express that the show's musical diversity is fun and interesting, and that the presentation including choreography, staging, props and emcee makes the show more enjoyable.",,9550,"Other, local or private",14550,,"Michele Johnson, Becky Elston, Robert Gestner, Donna Balitz, Scott Meyer",0.00,"Harmonic Relief","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for three performances of Magic to Do, a two-hour show featuring an eclectic mix of songs ranging from Broadway to old standards to pop.

These children and youth will learn Hmong, Lao and other Asian dance styles and learning will culminate with performances at the 2016 Hmong New Year celebrations in Saint Paul. Evaluation methods utilized in the Dance classes include daily student attendance, student surveys of program satisfaction and instructor examination of student ability in designated skill areas.","The following artistic goals were provided in the original dance class proposal: It is the long-term goal of the Dance Instruction program at Hmong Cultural Center to ensure that knowledge of traditional Hmong and other Asian Dances are passed along to children and youth. Three levels of teaching are providing in the Dance Instruction program. These levels are Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced. Beginning students must learn the Hmong dance “Yuav Tsum Sib Hlub,” translated as “You Must Love Each Other.” Beginning students mainly focus on this first dance before they are able to advance to the intermediate group and other dances. The Intermediate students are introduced to new songs and dances. In addition to Hmong dance routines, they learn certain Laotian, Thai and Indian styles. The Advanced students move at a faster pace. They learn a new dance every two months. Before students can be in the Advanced group, they must have already been trained in a range of Hmong, Laotian, Thai and Indian dances. They must also have had a year of dancing experience at the Hmong Cultural Center. The Dance class program was successfully carried out over the grant period. A total of 26 dance students aged 7-17 were served in the 3 class levels with dance instruction over the past year. Dance class members showcased skills learned in class by performing at several events in 2016 including Asian American Day at the Mall of America in May 2016, the Little Mekong Night Market in August 2016, and at Hmong New Year events across the Twin Cities area in November and December 2016. As stated in the original proposal: ""Most of the youth and young adults served by the Dance Instruction Program come from the Frogtown, Eastside and North End neighborhoods of Saint Paul. Some of the participants also reside in other parts of the Twin Cities area. Participants are primarily aged 7-17. Hmong Cultural Center estimates about 50% of its arts program participants may be classified as “low-income” and “at-risk”, the organization estimates about 1/3 of participants come from middle class backgrounds. The Hmong poverty rate in Minnesota according to 2014 American Community Survey data was about 16.5% compared to 7.5% among all Minnesota families. Over the past decade, foreclosure crisis and economic recession in Minnesota hit the Hmong community hard. At the same time, several foundations in Minnesota have moved away from funding arts-focused afterschool programs over the past several years. The Hmong community of the Twin Cities is very much in need of accessible arts enrichment programs for children and youth. As projected, over the grant period, the Dance program served primarily Hmong female students aged 7-17 residing in Saint Paul neighborhoods with free instruction in traditional Hmong and Asian dances. The availability of the dance program at Hmong Cultural Center enhanced the diversity of arts programming available to minority populations in the East Metro area. Over the grant period, students performed at such events as the Asian Pacific American Day at the Mall of America in May 2016 and the Hmong New Year in November and December 2016. A total of 26 Hmong female students aged 7-17 were served in the Dance classes on Sunday afternoons from Noon-5 PM at Hmong Cultural Center over the grant period. 8 students were served in the beginner class, 7 students in the intermediate class and 11 students in the advanced class.

35905,"Community Arts",2016,2400,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The Honeywell Concert Band plans to perform 12 concerts at public parks, care centers, and senior citizen complexes, enertaining a total of approximately 1200 people. Music performed will consist of a variety of styles and will include a rich mix of new musical arangements and compositions purchased specifically for his project. The project will be evealuated by recording the number of concerts performed, number of attendees, reviewing comments and other feedback from audience and family members, venue personnel, and the Honeywell Concert Band director and musicians. Additional evealuation of the project will involve a review by the Honeywell Concert Band board and membership of the new music purchased for the project; the quality and value of the music purchased, and the degree to which this music satisfies the intended objective s for the target venues as well as for the Honeywell Concert Band.","The primary artistic goal of this project was to provide an interesting variety of musical selections specifically tailored to the interests of each audience. Honeywell Concert Band performed a total of 11 concerts at 10 different venues. Due to age, mobility, economic status, or geographic location, the audiences at each venue are underserved with respect to live performances of musical art, specifically concert band performances. The Honeywell Concert Band successfully accomplished this goal by performing a well-planned mix of light classics, marches, jazz, Dixieland, Broadway musicals, and other show tunes. Each audience was very responsive to the Honeywell Concert Band's performance and the opportunity to hear featured small groups and soloists. We tried to accommodate two new venues this year, and while one worked very well (Friendship Village) the other (Bel Rae Senior Living) was too small to accommodate our group. We were able to provide enjoyment to the residents, but artistically it was not a good fit. We will continue to seek out new venues, but will be mindful that they are large enough to host a group our size. The format of this project seems to work well as evidenced by our audiences' reactions, and each venue's eagerness to have us return. We made a special effort to include audience participation this year, and would like to continue to increase that aspect of our performances, especially at the care centers and senior citizen complexes which make up 60% of our venues. The Honeywell Concert Band has been serving the intended audience for many years, and we have a good understanding of that community. We estimated we would reach 1200 audience participants, and we were successful in reaching 1455. We continue to struggle with balancing the early start times desired by many care centers and senior complexes with the daytime employment of many of our band members. We have now moved most of our start times to 7:00 rather than 7:30 with little if any inconvenience to our musicians. We estimated our musicians to be 35 in number, and while that number fluctuates we are close with our current roster of 33 members, and are actively recruiting new members. Our project's goal is to serve those typically underserved by the arts, and live concert band performances in particular. This year, 70% of our venues are care centers and senior facilities where the residents are quite diverse. We performed at centers with varying religious affiliations, economic situations, and level of independence in living. The other 30% of our venues are public parks where our free concerts attract young as well as older people, and include families with small children. Among our musicians there is diversity in ability, and experience. The Honeywell Concert Band chooses music that can challenge each musician, but is not beyond any member's capabilities, and time is spent improving our basic musical skills. The venues served by this project have many accessibility attributes due to public regulation such as zoning and building requirements. Programs are printed in large print format and provided at each concert. There is never a fee to the venues or audience members for Honeywell Concert Band performances, and there is no fee to participate as a musician, making the project accessible to audiences and musicians alike. Our practice area at Honeywell is also ADA compliant, and we have a wheelchair available to any member who desires to use it. The 33 members of the Honeywell Concert Band played 11 concerts to audiences totaling approximately 1400 people, slightly more than we anticipated. We engaged the musicians and audiences with several new numbers acquired for the project, and feedback from the venues was very positive, with each of them requesting we return again.

Hope's evaluation process will show that at least 95% of participating youth will develop artistic skills and build confidence and neighborhood leadership through working on common goals, trying new things and completing a project collectively. During the grant period, Hope's comprehensive database will show us who is involved, in what and how often. Through individual feedback, consistent reflection and a final Listening session with youth participants and lead artists, we will learn about the impact of the mural process related to collective process and individual artistic self-development.","“The mural itself is very beautiful and reflective. The message is really powerful. It sets the record straight about who we are and what our lives are like.” – Lead artist Olivia Levins Holden on the mural at Saint Stephen’s Human Services. Hope Community proposed to complete one community mural project with youth. Because of unique partnership opportunities that surfaced during the grant period, we were able to complete one youth mural project at Centro Tyron Guzmán on Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis and one adult mural project at Saint Stephens Human Services on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis during the grant period. The teams were each led by two artists who met with participants over several months to plan, sketch, develop their artistic skills and implement their vision. All the artists were developed as participants in Hope’s work and were mentored to become leaders in this work. The final murals are available to all community members and can be viewed at http://bit.ly/2hbFxc3 (Saint Stephen’s) and https://vimeo.com/186446150/recommended (Centro). One hundred percent (100%) of the 38 participants increased their artistic skills throughout the project. Participants sketched all the mural elements, which were pieced together into the mural with the support of the lead artists. Every participant displayed increased artistic skill throughout the project and all who attended the mural unveilings spoke publicly about their role in the project. Saint Stephen’s was a new partnership and it was a new demographic for Hope to work with homeless people. We had to develop strategies for effectively working with this population, and we saw very quickly how important the mural became to the people who participated. This, in turn, changed their behavior in the mural process and in other projects at Saint Stephen’s. With the support of our trained, mentored facilitators, participants reduced the number of conflicts they experienced both within the project and elsewhere at Saint Stephen’s over time (as reported by Saint Stephens’s staff and Hope mentors). Hope’s skill is in creating an environment in which creative expression, leadership development and personal growth can occur at the same time. What worked well? The flexibility of plan, the ability to change in developing relationships. Participants felt pride in the process. Like the change up in physical space. When you provide space and treat people with humanity magic happens. Support from other Minneapolis Institute of Art staff. Felt institutionally supported. Unveiling went well. Great continuity amongst partners. Transitioning from conversation, ideas, sketch, to paint. What didn't work well? Needed better storage for scaffolding equipment and training. Needed more clarity on roles among organizations. What we would change? In the future, we will involve more artist participation in the planning. Consider smaller projects to maintain relationships. Amplify more stories. “As the project got going, (the youth’s) minds became more prepped to communicating. It wasn’t so arduous. In the beginning, it was like, ‘What do we draw?’ As we got into the project they were overflowing with ideas and it was pouring out. Now it’s a natural part of their lives.” – Andrés Guzmán, lead artist on the Centro mural. We reached an even broader community than originally anticipated. We hoped to complete one new mural during the grant period and refurbish elements of previously completed murals. Because the partnership opportunity with Saint Stephen’s and Minneapolis Institute of Art surfaced, we were able to complete a second mural reaching a different underrepresented community. This provided more community diversity than originally anticipated. During the grant period we worked with Latino youth and homeless adults, all of whom are people of color. The participants in our program were driven by the project’s organizational partnerships. Latino youth involved in Centro Tyrone Guzmán’s Raíces program were the primary participants for that organization’s mural. Although they were all Latino, they were diverse in country of origin, language proficiency and how long they have been in the US. One of the lead artists on that project said, “The theme that revealed itself was Latin American heritage. It was a uniting culture that everyone came from.” Residents of Saint Stephen’s homeless shelter, all of whom are people of color, were the primary participants in that mural. Participants in that project discussed a possible benefit of making that project open to community members beyond Saint Stephen’s residents. There is some concern, however, that opening up participation to others might decrease some of the benefits the participants experienced (e.g., decreased tensions between residents and deeper connected to other Saint Stephen’s programming). Both murals benefited from a partnership with Minneapolis Institute of Art. The lead artist on the Centro project expressed that this was a major benefit to the project. “We worked with Minneapolis Institute of Art so I was able to get (the youth) tools that I like to use in my professional practice. I didn’t have access to that as a young kid,” he said. “They don’t realize it yet, but if they continue with art they will see they are ahead of the curve on ways to communicate their ideas.” We hope to identify additional funding to expand this partnership in 2017. 38 Latino youth created a community mural at Centro Tyrone Guzmán; 15 homeless adults created a community mural at Saint Stephen’s Human Services; 100 percent of participants reported or were observed to have increased artistic skill after participating in the project.",,31165,"Other, local or private",36165,,"Heidi Lasley Barajas, Brockman Schumacher, Muna Abdirahman, Anne Barry, Cecile Bedor, Sharon Sayles Belton, Claire Chang, Patricia Cummings, Clint Hewitt, Jody Jonas, Mary Keefe, Paul Leighton, Maria McLemore, Maria Pabon, Steve Shapiro, Cathrine Smith",0.00,"Hope Community, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for The Power of Vision, a neighborhood mural program that will engage approximately 30 youth in developing arts and leadership skills.

Qualitative Outcomes: Offer visibility and recognition to these established and emerging artists; thus weaving a stronger social fabric that reflects Burnsville's multicultural identity via a well-attended festival, six hours of on-stage entertainment, 8+ ethnic food booths and family arts activities, 14 interactive and informative cultural display booths, and a public 4-week International Festival of Burnsville Cultural Perspectives art gallery exhibit. To evaluate how International Festival of Burnsville strengthens our diverse community by sharing an exceptional arts experience, Burnsville police officers provide crowd size estimates throughout the day; number of festival programs (with tear-off survey) and food/activity ticket sales support overall tally too. International Festival of Burnsville planning group pays close attention to crowd receptiveness (i.e.: how many dance and for how long!) and guest feedback, plus Facebook/online survey responses, to refine our processes for this growing community-building event.","FANTASTIC crowd response to all the fun found in Family Arts and Activities area. ""Share your Story"" booth well-received as young adults read cultural stories aloud, and dozens of guests shared globe-hugging pics via social media --many grins with globe directed to International Festival of Burnsville's Facebook site. FABULOUS audience response to this year's cadre of entertainers. Visit International Festival of Burnsville on Facebook and see the album that mirrors our mission. Do differently? Reassure Native American flagbearer --carrying his tribe's sacred eagle staff, that to walk alongside the US flagbearer carrying the American flag well above the staff, is most appropriate. Committee considers hiring additional henna hand-painters as lines are longest there on the Family Arts and Activities hill. Also add two more tall sandwich boards that encourage guests to visit the cultural booths and exhibit indoors in the Ames Center gallery. Within the gallery, the most favored cultural display booths were those of India and Somalia; at both booths, the women dressed guests in cultural attire which resulted in lots of laughter, smiles, and photo opportunities. France and Germany carried on a lively exchange about cheese and wine pairings, wine bottle labels, and the many immigrants who came to Minnesota. Returning to Family Arts and Activities, visitors were encouraged to enter their contact info into a ""Where in the World Are You?"" book under the Share Your Story Tent --these entries may provide interviews and clips for next year's festival --greater outreach and event promotion. A member of our planning committee (and chairs fam arts and activities area) is also a radio talk show host; Naseema interviewed Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, alongside our festival chair Amber Swiggum, for nearly a full hour of festival which ran 'round social media as a podcast! Our outreach efforts were rewarded in many ways: In addition to more sponsors on-site during International Festival of Burnsville, hundreds of guests toured ""Tracks in the Snow: The Muslim Experience in Minnesota"" art gallery exhibit. Do differently? Possibly rent an ATM for our guests to have easier accessibility to cash. Perhaps close 126th Street as space to position sponsors/food vendors; thus opens space in the park for families to gather/picnic. Also need more roving volunteers to supply water on activities hill, sell raffle tickets, alert guests to the first aid tent, and promote cultural booths/gallery exhibit within Ames Center. Marketing efforts to piggyback other community events prior to International Festival of Burnsville. On Family Arts and Activities hill, consider more activities geared to the interests of teenagers. Position rolling coolers in major volunteer areas for more easily available bottled waters; purchase rubber gloves for the Lions' Club volunteers as they handle bottled waters. Also witnessed many more wheelchairs, walkers, and canes than in recent years; delighted to see a girl use her chair to wade into the water feature, and with her grandparent's help, enjoy water play with the other kiddos.

Qualitative: We hope that 90% or more of the participants responding to an post-concert survey will indicate that the music was of high quality and artistically challenging and that collaborative experience allowed them to share their love of choral music with others. We plan to evaluate our anticipated outcomes in quantitative terms by conducting a headcount and survey of audience members on the day of the Festival. To evaluate the qualitative portion of our goals, we will request feedback from guest choirs' directors and participant surveys to the guest choir members post-performance.","The goal of this project was to provide an opportunity for local youth choirs to share their love of the choral arts and perform well-rehearsed, artistically challenging, and culturally-varied repertoire for a large, diverse audience of adults, children and their families. The choral tradition of sharing music was upheld beautifully during the festival. The choirs performed songs in various languages and styles. Our performers and audience of approximately 500 people were culturally diverse and ranging in age from very young children to the elderly. The choirs were also was very blessed to work with world known guest conductor Tefsa Wondemagegnehu in a music clinic prior to the concert. We are so grateful we had the resources to be able to bring in such a brilliant artist to inspire our young artists. The biggest challenge of this project each year is the timing. The day can be rather long for our younger participants, yet the audience surveys often show a desire for more music. We will continue to try to balance this for all involved. We were very successful in reaching our intended community of audience members and participants. Our outreach efforts certainly resulted in community diversity. Ethnic minority of participants for Twin Cities Youth Chorale is 30%. English-Language-Learners comprise approximately 13% of membership. We largely met our goals for making our project open and accessible to all who wished to participate. Guest choirs participated at no cost to themselves and audience members were admitted to the concert for free. Large print programs and a hearing-assist sound system was available. Translation services were requested and we will be discussing ways to work that into our budget for 2016/17 year. Although no bus service was available on weekends, the venue we chose this year proved to work extremely well in every other way and we plan to host this event at the same location next year. Surveys results showed that the vast majority of participants (94%) and nearly 100% of audience members indicated a medium-high to high enjoyment level.

A second goal is that 100% of the participating artists will consider the experience to have been rewarding and something they wish to do again in the future. The average attendance will be evaluated by counting the number of tickets collected at each concert. We will solicit post-performance feedback from the participating artists to ascertain their level of satisfaction and willingness to perform with Joya in the future.","We believe that we did achieve our artistic goals. We presented the Anoka audience with a wide range of chamber music performed by some of the region's best musicians. The amount of rehearsal was sufficient to allow the performers to do their best. Post-performance discussions with the artists indicate that all were pleased and would be happy to perform on a Joya concert in the future. What worked particularly well was the balance in the musical selections. The audience and performers were challenged and energized by the more modern selections but also greatly enjoyed the more traditional classical works. We are proud of our dedication to high level artistry and all of the performers were equally dedicated. The ability to retain top notch talent is certainly one of the strengths of our process. Another strength is our planning, particularly regarding rehearsals. Months in advance we gathered all of the performers schedules/conflicts and worked out a rehearsal schedule that worked for all. Our biggest challenges are related more to logistics and publicity. In particular, it is challenging to promote the concerts adequately and a failure to do so could result in a smaller than desired audience. Despite these challenges we did manage to average 250 audience members at each concert which exceeded our goal of 200. We did reach our intended community. Our audience members were mostly from the Anoka area but there were audience members from all over the Twin Cities area. We were also able to serve the artists by presenting them the opportunity to perform chamber music in a visually and acoustically beautiful venue before a most appreciative audience. We did achieve most of our goals regarding diversity. The performer's ranged in age from 30 to 63. The performers were also diverse as regards their background/professional situation: ranging from an independent freelance violist to the Music Director of the Minnesota Orchestra. The concert with Maestro Vänskä and Concertmaster Keefe, likely due to their ""celebrity"" factor, was successful in attracting many audience members that would not otherwise attend a chamber music concert. That same concert was also successful in attracting more students than any previous Joya concert. Attracting more students remains one of our goals and we hope that to find ways to increase the attendance of students/young people at future Joya concerts. We are grateful to the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and its grant proposal process for highlighting accessibility concerns that we might not have otherwise considered. The writing of the grant put accessibility at the forefront of our minds. This directly led to us allowing audiences members with disabilities to seat early so that they would not be at a disadvantage in selecting a seat and would not have to ""race the crowd."" One (elderly) couple commented too us, ""We just can't travel downtown anymore. If it weren't for Joya, we would not get to hear such wonderful live music."" Other accessibility concerns were accommodated as described in our narrative. The venue, Zion Lutheran Church, provides a highly accessible space including parking, elevators, and wheel chair seating. We continued our tradition of having one of the performers verbally describe each piece. This is done partially to educate the audience but also to allow those who cannot read the program to still know the selections being performed. We would like to find ways to attract more students. We did offer free admission to students and plan to continue to do so in the future. We had a goal of 200 people per concert and averaged 250. 500 people attended the two concerts that were performed by 7 different artists.

High attendance by musicians at rehearsals. New public venues with Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles and speakers. Increased activity indicating Buffalo Community Orchestra's visibility on social media. Organizational effectiveness approved by Advisory Council. Surveys will reflect 80% quality performance ratings. Rehearsal attendance above 85% average. Increased number of events for community outreach. Increase in website hits, Facebook likes. Organizational effectiveness gauged by Advisory Board survey.","Goals were set and measured throughout the ’15-’16 concert season. (1) Goal: High quality Buffalo Community Orchestra performance for audiences (a) Survey data from audience, board and musician questionnaires were collected, analyzed, interpreted, and put to use in program planning in the subsequent season. The general goal of 80% approval for concert quality was met. (b) A survey of the May 2016 audience produced 56 responses, 100% of whom gave Buffalo Community Orchestra’s performance level and concert facilities a satisfaction rating. (The questionnaire was structured only with a nominal yes/no rather than ordinal response format). Concert-goers who took the survey were almost unanimous in approving the length of Buffalo Community Orchestra concerts this season. (c) During the same month at a rehearsal toward the end of the season Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians surveyed (n=40) indicated a 4.2 level of satisfaction for all 2015-16 concerts, with 4.5 expressed for the October concert. (2) Goal: High attendance by musicians at weekly rehearsals, (a) It was hoped that attendance of musicians at weekly rehearsals will improve above 85% as a season average. For certain sections of the orchestra that attendance was below 85%, in part because specific brass and wind instruments had less music to play week after week. (b) String attendance figures reflected higher levels but data did not separate those musicians from the total. The bass section was awarded dinner prizes for perfect attendance, compliments of The Tavern at Wild Marsh Golf Club. (3) Goal: New visibility for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the community, including public venues with Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles and speakers, as evidenced by: (a) The major addition of an additional summer concert in a new geographic area: Winsted, (b) Buffalo Community Orchestra and guests winter bowling afternoon at local bowling alley, (c) String quartet of Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians performed in Annandale Minnesota for Community Health Foundation fund-raising dinner. Outreach performances by Trillium quartet, consisting of Buffalo Community Orchestra string players, occurred in 6 locales. (d) Inclusion of new music groups and soloists in Buffalo Community Orchestra performances. Examples: youth Bravo string quartet performing at May ’16 prior to concert student Buffalo Community Orchestra member and harp soloist Katherine Strand performing at Buffalo Community Orchestra concert during reception time. (e) artistic partnering for poster design and online display with Wayne Hein, professional artist and Buffalo Art Guild organizer, editor of ""Palette Notes."" (4) Goal: Increased frequency of activity as a measure of Buffalo Community Orchestra's visibility on social media (a) An entirely new website was developed for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the summer of 2016, so results for attracting viewers can be measured for the 2016-17 season. (b) Numerous photos were posted on Facebook during the season, with 216 likes; and 322 visitors to the Buffalo Community Orchestra website. In February of 2016 there were 3,283 followers of Concertmaster Lindsey Bordner. A high of 980,341 accompanied the visuals offered to promote the March 2016 concert. (5) Organizational effectiveness as judged by Buffalo Community Orchestra's Advisory Council (a) A representative of the Advisory Council members attended Buffalo Community Orchestra’s spring annual meeting. Comments forwarded by her to the orchestra’s members were entirely positive, with emphasis on strong organization and tailoring concerts to the preferences of the audience. It was recommended that the holiday concert be kept carefully within a 90-minute duration, which the board discussed as guidance in summer concert planning. (b) Further direct feedback was given by Council members attending a fall pub gathering. The issue of possible ticket price increases was informally raised in conversations with individual Advisory Board members during the summer of 2016; there was little support at that time for price increases.",,34812,"Other, local or private",39387,4575,"Jeff Burns, Laura Keller, Renee Goerdt, Julie Rathmanner, Pepper Clemmensen, Gretchen Katzenberger, Evan Keller, Kendell Kubasch, Veronica Lilly, Mary Ellen Lundsten, Michael Walsh, Kari Hartman",0.00,"Buffalo Community Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"Buffalo Community Orchestra is a concert-producing non-profit organization in Central Minnesota.",2015-09-01,2016-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeffrey,Burns,"Buffalo Community Orchestra AKA BCO","PO Box 707",Buffalo,MN,55313,"(612) 803-7198 ",burns@cmab.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Wright, Sherburne, Hennepin, McLeod, Ramsey, Carver",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-61,"Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser, Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: Minnesota visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, serves on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, has served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, printer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2

In addition to anecdotal feedback from audiences, our board and staff use concert audience surveys, feedback forms from pupils and teachers at schools and other outreach events, attendance, and financial statements for evaluation of programs.","The Chamber Music Society presented professional chamber music ensembles and provided opportunities to experience and learn about chamber music performed by top-quality professional musicians at six formal concerts each season and twenty-four outreach programs last season. Outreach participants at several schools and audience members at two family concerts learned about the instruments, repertoire, composers, related history, and the musicians. Workshops and masterclasses provided group learning opportunities for advanced students and adult amateur musicians. Whitney Senior Center events provided older adults with opportunities to hear and enjoy shorter and more informal chamber music concerts. Audience and participant surveys and face-to-face feedback were obtained during the events. Fostering understanding and appreciation of chamber music has been part of our mission for many years. School performances and Family Concerts, mentioned above, are part of this. They always include introductions and explanations suitable to the age of the listeners, as well as opportunities for audience members to ask questions. Additionally, we always invite performers to speak to the concert audience, and many do. We find this to have more of an impact than written program notes, although we include those also when appropriate. Commentary during concerts also serves to create a relationship between performers and audience members, which enhances the total experience. The activities that were primarily geared toward enhancing the understanding and appreciation of chamber music included the events at Whitney Senior Center and the masterclasses and sessions involving coaching. However, all of our outreach activities inherently have an educational component. We have always made a point of taking groups to schools with high numbers of students who qualify for free or reduced price lunches, ensuring that we serve economically needy children. While we program our free Family Concerts to offer families with young children a chance to hear these fine ensembles perform a shorter less formal concert, we find that grandparents and other senior citizens comprise about 15-30% of these audiences.

We will try to secure performance time with the Stadtkapelle Spalt this May, partly funded by three local business sponsors. 1) The Saint Cloud Municipal Band plans to launch the updated website by March 1, 2016. 2) The performance with the Stadtkapelle Spalt may be difficult to schedule. When the concert venue is set and scheduled, the outcome will be achieved.","The outcomes we expected to achieve in 2016 regarding our use of the Community Arts Support grant were to continue sharing our love of music with some newly purchased pieces to entertain as many people as we could, share a concert with Stadtkapelle Spalt from Germany, update our website, and help support our administrative costs: venue rentals, advertising, marketing, and concert set-up. In 2016 the St Cloud Municipal Band performed concerts for three skilled nursing facilities: Saint Benedict Center, Good Shepherd, and Country Manor. Some of the residents at these facilities are former members of our band. At Good Shepherd, one former member attended in his yellow Saint Cloud Municipal Band shirt and black pants, with his trumpet held in his hands the entire concert. His wife mentioned how much being a part of the band had meant to him, and that he loved his memories of his time in the band. They attended every concert the Saint Cloud Municipal Band performed at Good Shepherd. He was living in the Memory Lane part of that facility, and from his wheelchair seemed to offer to direct the band during some pieces. Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Mathias Mimbach enjoyed our concert, he passed on. For our two shared concerts with Stadtkapelle Spalt (from Spalt, Germany, St Cloud's sister city) we performed a joint concert at the Paramount on May 16th and at Lake George on May 18th. For our second shared concert, we also invited the Meier Grove Band to join us. This event was called “Springtime by Lake George” by Mayor Kleis. We were asked to perform on May 30 at the VA Medical Center for their Memorial Day concert. The Saint Cloud Municipal Band also performed at a few parks this summer: Hester Park for the July 4th concert, Barden Park for four of the six concerts in the Barden Park Summer Concert Series, and on September 17th we were invited to perform at Recreation Park in Milaca for the re-dedication of the Milaca Band Shell. Our fall concert on November 14th at the Paramount and Holiday Concert on December 12th at the Whitney Senior Center were very well attended. This list of performances illustrates that we perform for many people, in different venues, and throughout the year. We purchased some new pieces to use for these concerts: some relatively easy for the band to play, and others that took quite a bit more work – both for the band and for those listening. Our website has a new, fresh look with more information for those looking to join the band, donate to the band, or find out more information about the band.

Concert attendance, ticket sales, new staff hours evaluated and compared by Executive Director; Directors assess contact time with singers; Youth Chorale of central Minnesota singers surveyed on program offerings and satisfaction; new auditions counted after spring Chamber Singers runout.","By adding office support staff this past season, and being able to delegate a variety of day-to-day tasks, the Executive Director of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to spend an additional 3-4 hours per week dedicated to the promotion of the organization. As a result from her efforts, concert attendance and awareness of the choirs increased by 12% per concert in comparison to prior years without office support staff. Having a third music intern gave the artistic staff more contact time with singers during regular rehearsal evenings. This intern was able to take rehearsal notes and upload to a weekly website for singers, run additional voice sectionals, and take care of administrative and logistical tasks prior to rehearsal (such as singer check-in, setting up the various spaces for rehearsal, etc.), thus allowing the Directors to spend an additional 30 minutes on the teaching of the music so that singers were fully prepared for future concerts and appearances. Seventy-nine singers and their parents in the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization were surveyed to see how they were connecting with Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and each other. The purpose of the Singer Survey was to find out if they were motivated, engaged, felt as if they had a sense of belonging in the choir, as well as a sense of purpose. Parents were asked on their survey to respond to a series of questions based on their own experiences of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, as well as their opinion of their child’s experiences. Through qualitative and quantitative measures, Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their enjoyment of the program at a 4.4 out of five (88%); Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their own personal preparation for concerts with a ranking of 4.2 out of five (84%); Singers’ parents rated Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota performances as 4.9 out of a scale of five (98%); and Singers’ parents felt that Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a positive impact on youth rating the organization a 3.7 out of four (93%). As a result of these findings, we were able to evaluate and change future programs and offerings for the 16-17 season to better serve our singers and choir families. The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Chamber Singers traveled on a one day run-out in the spring of 2016 to five (5) Central Minnesota high schools as a way of spreading the word about Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and promoting our upcoming spring auditions. We estimate over 260 total singers saw our Chamber Singers perform over the course of the day. As a result of our efforts, thirty (30) new singers signed up to audition for a spot in our choir (via survey). In addition, while we retained a good portion of our singers from the previous season, 40 new singers auditioned to become a member of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota in comparison to our 2014-15 season. We believe the higher numbers were due in part to social media marketing, word of mouth, and our run-out to the area schools. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to position itself at an artistic level of excellence to achieve an invitation to perform at the American Choral Directors Association’s National Convention in Minneapolis during the 2016-17 season.

Approximately 8,250 adults and children will experience live theatre and theatre education programming. Performances, classes, audiences, volunteers, and performer numbers are tracked. Feedback will be sought from participants and audience members. Recordings of performances and printed materials will be reviewed and Conservatory members will be interviewed.","Our Strategic planning committee, through surveys, audience and participant feedback, and social media comments, has been actively assessing the artistic needs of our community, then analyzing the information and responding with programming that is designed to meet those needs. NorthStar's Board members have used their multiple levels and decades of community involvement to assess the needs of longtime residents, as well as our area's changing demographics to determine which offerings will fill those needs. The overwhelming number of audience, cast, and crew participation we receive each season indicates that we are fulfilling a community need for live theatre. The comment sections of our surveys help to provide the clearest examples of the gratitude of our audience and crew for the types of plays we produce. Here are just a couple survey responses to the production of Steel Magnolias; “I thought the concept of the audience being seated on stage was interesting. It was done very well.” “They did wonderful job. Very professional.” The plays themes of connection and relating to those around you seemed to carry over into real life after the curtain went down, with over 95% of audience members speaking with at least one cast or staff member after each show. Youth Theatre Workshop/NorthStar was able to meet its goal of expanding its shows and classes to reach more targeted demographics. With the production of Steel Magnolias, NorthStar/Youh Theatre Workshop expanded from its 13 year history of operating as, solely, a children's theatre. As part of our Strategic Plan, Steel Magnolias placed NorthStar squarely into the realm of family theatre in the true sense of the word. The cast and crew of this production of Steel Magnolias ranged in age from 14 years old, up to 66 years old. We were also able to meet our goal of hiring an Administrative Assistant, as well as identifying a, highly qualified, volunteer Business Manager. The Community Arts Support grant awarded to North Star Theatre by the Central Minnesota Arts Board has been a game changer for us. It has allowed us to hire an Administrative Assistant who handles many day to day activities that had been distributed between board members and the artistic director. The Administrative Assistant, who began on July 1, 2016, has begun a systematic restructuring of North Star's information systems. In addition to this the Community Arts Support grant has allowed us to identify an experienced Business Manager who, beginning on August 1, 2016, has been overseeing our accounting. The addition of this desperately needed personnel frees the Artistic Director and Board Members to concentrate on the artistic offerings of our organization. A total of four plays were produced by NorthStar during the 2016 season. What follows are descriptions of each play and what made them a successful production for the community. Into the Woods with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; The familiar and much loved fairy tale classics of Into the Woods and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was popular with artist participants and audience members alike. Character development, theatrical makeup techniques, and singing techniques workshops were offered in addition to regular rehearsals to further the theatrical education of the artists in the community who participate in NorthStar productions. Steel Magnolias; was a theater in the round style performance. Since the cast and crew were small, it meant more time to collaborate with the director on the development of the characters and scenes. The play was not just about one director bringing his interpretation of a story to life, but a communal effort of actors, directors, and crew, each with unique insights. This helped to make the production of Steel Magnolias a success. 101 Dalmatians Kids Day Camp; For the first time in our organization's history we were able to add a summer camp for elementary and middle school aged performers. The camp, under the supervision of the Artistic Director, was taught by Emerging Artist's Conservatory members, Lilly Hayworth, Elise Williams, and Leita Strei, who were assisted by Teen Star Members, Elizabeth Insellman, Isaac Branjord, and Trent Ramert. Thirty-five children, ages 4-13, had a wonderful summertime opportunity to spend 10 days immersed in theatre arts, which culminated in a performance for their parents, family members, and friends. Hard Knock Life; This new play was a collaborative artistic effort, not only to perform the play, but in creating it as well. North Star Family Theatre believes that theatre brings communities together. The success of this project relied on everyone involved coming together to create and share an artistic vision and create an original musical production. By taking on this ambitious endeavor, North Star Family Theatre has continued to uphold their mission statement, which seeks to create bold art that astonishes the mind, challenges the heart, and delights the senses. It has come to our notice that in our area we have a larger number of female artists than male artists, who audition for roles. Often times plays do not have enough female roles to satisfy the artistic needs of our community. North Star aimed to change that with both Steel Magnolias and Hard Knock Life, both of which had a large percentage of female roles. During the next year, ISD 728 will be opening brand new theatres in their area high schools. North Star will be well positioned to expand programming into these facilities, which will enable us to bring theatre arts to even more Central Minnesotans. The emerging artists were a part of our productions and workshops. In addition, the 101 Dalmatians Kids Day Camp was a first step in allowing our offerings to serve a more targeted age group.",,105844,"Other, local or private",115844,5316,"Rick Theisen, Jeff Maas, Bill Bade, Russ Branjord, Jason Ramert",0.25,"Youth Theatre Workshop AKA North Star Family Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"Youth Theatre Workshop is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing theatre arts and skill-building experiences for and by youth and families.",2015-08-01,2016-07-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rick,Theisen,"Youth Theatre Workshop AKA NorthStar Family Theatre","17804 Concord Ct","Elk River",MN,55330,"(651) 231-6794 ",sunshineandsnowflakes@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Sherburne, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Stearns",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-71,"Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser, Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: Minnesota visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, serves on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, has served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, printer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2

The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra will gather verbal and written feedback from musicians, board members and audience members. Concert recordings will be analyzed.","The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra successfully completed all of the planned concert, events, and educational services described in the grant with a high degree of artistry. Outcomes were evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Audience counts were slightly lower than the previous year with the exception of the October 2016 concert which had a 35% larger audience than the October 2015 concert. Highlights of the season were: an exceptional performance by Young Performer Competition winner Curtis Noecker playing the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3, an exquisite collaboration on the Faure Requiem with Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra's principal choral partner Great River Chorale, a joyful farewell to outgoing Artistic Director Dr. Clinton Smith who played the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23 on his final concert, a jazz inspired concert with jazz pianist Laura Caviani (a St Cloud native), and a fiery Russian program conducted by Artistic Director candidate Eduard Zilberkant. The April 29, 2016 Classics for Kids concerts were fully subscribed with over 1,400 fourth graders in attendance and the four pre-concert discussions were attended by about 150 each. The chamber music concert was attended by 87 concertgoers and 64 people attended the Young Performer Competition Honors Recital. 92 musicians performed with the Saint Cloud Symphony during the grant period. In addition to counting musician and audience participation, the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra collected survey evaluation forms that were available to the audience in the program book and at a table in the lobby. The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra received over 100 audience evaluations during the period of the grant, largely because we invited the audience to provide feedback on our Artistic Director candidates. The comments were uniformly positive. Here are a few examples: ""Blending of jazz through time was great. Made for a good mix of tempos and sounds,"" ""Best ever as a Preview – loved the topic of jazz!"", It appeared that he [candidate Brandani] had a real rapport with the orchestra and brought out their best efforts,"" ""Outstanding [pre-concert discussion] – lots of good examples – his command of the music and ability to play excerpts for us was superb,"" ""Outstanding selection of music! What a treat to see and hear Laura,"" ""The quality of music they produce is awesome. This orchestra is an asset to our community and I am very grateful for it,"" ""Orchestra sounded strong – a much louder sound than expected from our size orchestra,"" ""Impressive in music performed - difficulty, musicality, accomplishment,"" ""Orchestra seemed energized and the music was difficult. Wonderful concert."" Feedback gathered from the fourth graders about Classics for Kids was also positive: ""I really appreciated that you guys would let us come to the orchestra. I've never ever been to a concert before. I loved it so much I can't explain it,"" ""Thank you for that wonderful concert. I loved when the conductor played the piano and conducted at the same time!

Our Senior Pastor went on short term disability leave from August 2013-October 2013, just as our newly ordained associate arrived. In November 2013, the Senior Pastor resigned from his position at the Church and went on long-term disability. In addition, our office manager left in mid-March, and it took a month to replace her. However, the short-term goal of obtaining a written report and discussion with the trustees was met. Further meetings with the finance committee and the Church Council were by necessity postponed, though the intent of continually reassessing the already existing preservation plans already underway (including sealing the structure for water damage) was proposed and agreed to by the Trustees. The front steps and sidewalk were repaired in May 2014. The Conditions Assessment, the energy audit performed in spring of 2014 and our plans for participation in local training to be provided by Partners in Sacred Places (postponed from May) were discussed with the Church Council.

The Legacy plan identifies its purpose to better develop Minnesota's stewards of tomorrow through efforts to increase life-long participation in parks and trails. The purpose of this program is to call attention to the pillar, but also to centralize and streamline reporting on other related programs within the pillar. Thus, this program captures all the information about what are known as direct and necessary administrative costs of managing the three other programs that make up this pillar, as well as all information on the number of full time equivalent (or FTE) positions supported by the Legacy funds allocated to DNR Parks and Trails under this pillar. Direct and necessary administrative costs include a wide range of activities, such as accounting and managerial expertise; a list of administrative activities has been compiled in Minnesota Management and Budget's Guidance to Agencies on Legacy Fund Expenditure. Other costs included in this program include direct, non-administrative costs of doing the work of Connecting People to the Outdoors that do not fall directly in one of the three related programs. This includes a range of professional staff or contractor services and materials needed to do the work. FTEs reported here are consistent with the guidelines provided by the Legislative Coordinating Commission. ","Resulting from the 25-year Parks and Trails Legacy Plan, the Minnesota Legislature instructed the DNR Division of Parks and Trails to: (1)Connect people to the outdoors (2)Acquire land and create opportunities (3)Maintain existing holdings; and (4)Improve cooperation by coordinating with partners to implement the 25-year long-range parks and trails legacy plan In addition, the MN Legislature directed all recipients of Legacy funds to report all direct expenses, administration costs, and number of full time equivalents (FTE's) funded by Legacy dollars.

CPL Program Staff develop a Request for Proposal/Program Manual incorporating LSOHC  priorities, solicit applications, work with applicants to submit scorable applications, oversee grant selection, prepare/execute grant documents, review expenditure documentation, ensure financial integrity, make payments, monitor grant work, assist recipients with closing out agreements, and prepare required reports.   Applicants describe: location of work, activity type and habitat; benefit to habitat, fish, game and wildlife; and duration of benefits.  Acquisition projects: applicants describe parcel selection process.   CPL staff complies with the Department of Administration-Office of Grants Management policies.  Stakeholders involved in this program are applicants, reviewers, land managers.  No opposition is known.  Application Process A Request for Proposal/Program Manual was posted on the CPL website in August, 2013.  Document contains all grant program information. Applications are submitted using CPL’s Online Grant Application System (OLGA).  Applicants use OLGA’s mapping tool to map project sites.  Applications accepted beginning in August, 2013, until round one deadline in mid-September, 2013.  Applications requesting grants up to $25,000 or Preapproved Project Grants have a shorter application form. The application system will accept Preapproved Project Grant applications year-round.  Examples of Preapproved Projects and criteria for each will be on the website. Grants over or under $25,000 were selected for funding once.  Preapproved (ECP) Project Grants were awarded 4 times during the year. DNR were able to make additional awards under this announcement, consistent with DNR and OHF policy and guidance, if additional funding became available or if a grantee could not complete a project as planned.  Grant Selection Process CPL Grant Program Staff review applications for completeness.  Technical Review Committee(s), selected by the Commissioner of Natural Resources, evaluate applications based on criteria listed below.  A final score is given to all applications. Committee(s) include representatives from DNR, BWSR, the University of MN, state universities or private colleges, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or other appropriate members from government, non-profit and business organizations.  A final ranking committee of Directors of the DNR Divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Ecological Resources/Waters, and Forestry consider TRC, Division and Regional DNR comments, and recommend projects/funding levels to the Commissioner.  Preapproved Project Grants are reviewed by CPL staff, using criteria established for each type of project, and make recommendations. The Commissioner makes final decisions.  CPL Grant Program staff work with grantees to complete financial reviews, grant agreements, and other paperwork.  Work may not begin until grant is executed. Application Criteria Applications is evaluated on these criteria:         Amount of habitat restored, enhanced, or protected Local support        Degree of collaboration        Urgency        Multiple benefits        Habitat benefits        Consistency with current conservation science        Adjacent to protected lands        Full funding of project       Budget/ cost effectiveness       Public access for hunting/fishing       Use of native plant materials       Applicants’ capacity to successfully complete, sustain work Project Reviews and Reporting Grantees submit annual accomplishment reports on forms provided by CPL staff, based on L-SOHC report forms.  Reports account for the use of grant/match funds, and outcomes in measures of wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat restored, enhanced, and protected.  The report must include an evaluation of these results.  A final report is required by all grantees 30 days after project completion.  CPL Grant staff submits accomplishment reports to L-SOHC as required.   CPL Administration Budget Grant administration costs total $366,000, include salary/fringe for grants staff, direct and necessary costs, travel, supplies, and expense.  An internal Service Level Agreement (SLA) is developed with DNR’s Management Information Systems to update/manage the online grant application system.  DNR Land Acquisition Costs Applicants are 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.  These costs are billed to awarded grants on a professional services basis. DNR Technical Support The Division of Fish and Wildlife provides ongoing technical guidance, helping applicants prepare grant proposals and meet requirements for working on state lands.  Project development and oversight is provided by area managers and additional guidance is provided for land acquisitions.   Grantee Payment Grantees are paid on reimbursement or “for services rendered” basis, meaning payment is made to the grantee after work has been performed or materials purchased, but before the vendor is paid by the grantee.  Grantees provide proof that work is completed or a purchase made to receive payment.  Proof that the vendor was paid must be submitted to CPL staff before additional grant payments are made.  Reasonable amounts may be advanced to projects to accommodate cash flow needs, match federal share, or for acquisitions.  Advances must be specified in final grant agreement.  Partial payments are allowed.  Funds are built into grants for required Legacy logo signage and forms of acknowledgement/notification including, but not limited to, local news advertisements announcing completion of grantees' projects. Since the creation of the CPL program, grantees have restored, protected or enhanced nearly 9982 acres of habitat in Minnesota.

It is also one of its most threatened. In order to preserve this important component of Minnesota’s natural heritage, the Minnesota Land Trust implemented Phase 2 of its Critical Shoreland Habitat Protection Program to protect important lakeshore and stream-side habitat. This project built on the success of Phase 1 of this program and helped fulfill the goals of the DNR’s Aquatic Management Area program, the State Conservation and Preservation Plan, and many other state priorities. In this second phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust concentrated its activity on important aquatic resources and associated forest habitat within northeast Minnesota, including DNR-designated high priority trout streams along the North Shore, sensitive shoreline along the deep-water border lakes and other high-quality aquatic habitats in the region. The Land Trust protected more than five miles of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners that permanently protected a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on approximately 911 acres. The program targeted projects that help fill gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust accepted three fully donated easements, negotiated bargain sale purchases for three easements and purchased one easement at the full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $948,500, all in excess of what was proposed. This value was substantiated in 5 easements through appraisal; in the remaining two (full value donations) where we don not have appraisals, an estimate of value (62% of assessed land value) was attained through a comparison of appraised fee value to easement value, and adjusted to account for deviation between appraised and assessed land value across two years of Land Trust activity. The development and disturbance of the state’s remaining sensitive shoreland habitat continues to be a threat identified in many of the State’s resource protection plans. Investigations conducted by the DNR and others indicate that the shoreland zone—from high ground through the water’s edge and into the shallow submerged areas—is one of the most biologically diverse and important habitat types for a variety of wildlife species, including fish and waterfowl. Because so much shoreline habitat is on private land, it is also one of Minnesota’s most threatened resources due to the intensity of shoreline development and non-compatible management. Fortunately, private landowners in northeast Minnesota have proven to be ready and willing to grant conservation easements on exceptional shoreline habitat, thus providing high-leverage, immediately-tangible protection for these diminishing habitat types. Outreach efforts from this and the previous phase of this program have generated a robust and growing pool of interested landowners seeking assistance in voluntary private land conservation through permanent easements. It is important to note that the Phase 3 of this program received funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to continue to build on the successes of earlier phases and to secure and additional 1,000 acres of natural shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands in northeastern Minnesota.",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Ave W, Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"St. Louis, Lake, Carlton","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-habitat-protection-program-phase-2,,,,

Building on the success of Phases 1 and 2 of this program, this grant helped fulfill the goals of the DNR’s Aquatic Management Area program, the State Conservation and Preservation Plan, and many other state priorities. In this third phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust strategically concentrated its activity on important aquatic resources and associated forest habitat within northeast Minnesota, including DNR-designated high priority trout streams along the North Shore, sensitive shoreline along the deep-water border lakes and other high-quality aquatic habitats in the region. The Land Trust proposed to protect 2.5 miles of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners to permanently protect a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on approximately 1,000 acres. The program targeted projects that would help complete gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state.  The Land Trust sought donated easements in these areas whenever possible but also purchased easements to complete key complexes. Key outcomes from this project included: 1) healthy populations of trout and other fish species, waterfowl, and other species in greatest conservation need; 2) maintaining water quality of aquatic resources; 3) increased participation of private landowners in habitat projects; and 4) enhancement of prior state and local investments made in shoreland and forest conservation in the region.  Through this grant, the Land Trust protected 39,415 feet (7.46 miles) of critical shoreland habitat, exceeding the primary protection deliverable by 299%. We fell short on our target acres, achieving 64% of our secondary protection goal. In addition, the Land Trust exceeded its leverage goals by 131%, realizing $2,100,500 in landowner donations of easement value. Seven conservation easements were procured through this grant, as described in brief below and in larger context as uploaded project sheets: 1. Ann Lake (Killeen) - The 132-acre project protects nearly 1 mile of shoreland on Ann and Link lakes, and wetlands and mesic hardwood forests on rolling terrain between them. The property extends to the floodplain of the West Fork of the Prairie River, and borders George Washington State Forest on two sides. 2. Burntside Lake (YMCA 1) - This scenic property is located on the North Arm of Burntside Lake.  Burntside Lake is a gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and the area contains much of the same rugged character and scenery of that iconic wilderness.  This densely-forested property rises over 100-feet from the shoreline of Burntside Lake to a high ridgeline overlooking the lake. The property forms an important linkage with Burntside State Forest to the east and an additional Minnesota Land Trust conservation easement to the north.   3. Burntstde Lake (YMCA 2) - This unique project protects three forested islands in the North Arm of Burntside Lake near Ely.  Islands in Burntside Lake face significant development pressure from lakeside cabins that can impact scenery and negatively affect water quality. 4. King Lake (Guckenberg) - King Lake contains extensive stands of wild rice, one of Minnesota’s most important cultural and economic native plant species.  This conservation easement protects over 1.5 miles of shoreland on Kookoosh Lake and perennial streams that are tributary to it, in addition to the adjacent rice stands. The easement protects bogs, mesic forests, and wet meadows. Several parcels of state-owned property managed by St. Louis County as well as a public stream access easement associated with Spring Creek Aquatic Management Area are adjacent to the property.  5. Lake Superior (Johannson) - Lake Superior’s North Shore is one of Minnesota’s most iconic cultural and ecological resources, but also one of its most vulnerable. This property protects over 2,300 feet of craggy Lake Superior shoreline approximately two and a half miles south of the City of Two Harbors.  The property is located within a site of high biodiversity significance and the South-Central North Shore Important Bird Area.  6. Snake River (Giles) - Situated on a bend of the Snake River in northeastern Kanabec County, this 66-acre property protects scenic hardwood forests and over 2,000 feet of undeveloped shoreline along the Snake River. The river is popular with recreationists and is notable for its remote and wild character, and its diverse freshwater mussel and fish populations.  This property provides outstanding habitat connectivity, bordering the Snake River State Forest to its north.  These state forest lands form the core of a larger area of protected private and public lands along the Snake River that now totals close to 10,000 acres.  7. Tucker Lake (Johannson) - This spectacular property protects a scenic lake adjacent to the iconic Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Cook County.  Located on the south edge of Tucker Lake, the property features over 2 miles of rugged shoreline characterized by craggy cliffs and bedrock outcrops.  Boreal forest and low-lying wetlands cover much of the property, which is located within a site of high biodiversity significance.  ",2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Avenue West Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-protection-program-phase-iii-1,,,,

Turtle Creek is an impaired water body due to excessive sediment being delivered to the stream. The implementation plan for the Cedar River Basin identifies several areas in the watershed with different contributing factors for protection. In the targeted areas of this initiative, the sediment is coming from overland flow and getting into the waterway. This project would utilize the existing CRP program and design standards for eligibility of payment. This ensures that the project is designed to act as a fully operational filter and catchment area for overland flow of sediment, and hold those suspended solids in the grass buffer, prior to its delivery into the waterway.","This project resulted in estimated reductions of 1,200 tons of sediment per year and 54 fewer tons of soil lost annually.",,9375,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",35625,,"Members for Turtle Creek WD are: Al Lyman, Arlen Schamber, Dan Regner, David Vanderploeg, Harlen Peck, James Gebhardt, James Kellogg, Jeff Ravenhorst, Jim Gebhardt, Jon Erichson, Mike Jones, Peter Vanerkel, Randy Smith, Richard Fuller, Rick Gehling, Steve Kraushaar",0.09,"Turtle Creek WD","Local/Regional Government","In the battle to make real progress in sediment reduction to Turtle Creek, buffer strips are on the defensive front lines, holding the land at its most critical point. Grass strips along waterways have long provided a catchment area for agricultural field runoff. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has developed guidance and performance standards that utilize the maximum amount of benefit when installed through that program. In recent years, the Turtle Creek Watershed residents have faced a difficult decision over whether or not to incorporate grass buffers on their farms. Many are even converting existing contracts back to crop land. This project targets the area identified as contributing the most sediment to Turtle Creek Watershed and will provide financial incentives to secure the necessary acres to establish buffer strips in this highly productive agricultural area. The district is proposing a $50 incentive payment for each acre and each year of CRP buffer enrolled in the targeted priority subwatersheds. The payment would act as an upfront incentive.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","With this grant award, Dakota Wicohan will strengthen the Minnesota community’s capacity to reclaim and revitalize the Dakota language by nurturing the language skills of 15 Dakota language leaders.

Up to $60,000 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. A list of proposed land acquisitions and permanent conservation easements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Restored 392 acres, protected 197 acres (in fee with state PILT liability), protected 214 acres (in easement) for a total of 803 Acres ",,2222200,"County ",4100000,,,1.3,"Dakota County","Local/Regional Government","During this grant time frame, Dakota County was able to protect habitat through acquisition of seven parcels, totaling 409 acres.  The fee title ownership of three of the parcels, totaling 197 acres, was transferred to the Minnesota DNR as part of establishing the new Hampton Woods Wildlife Management Area in Hampton and Castle Rock townships. Another notable acquisition was that of a 109-acre easement on a portion of the Grannis property in Inver Grove Heights, which when added to the original 17-acre easement, totals 126 acres that includes the southernmost and highest quality lake of the Marcott Lakes Chain. Additionally, when combined with the adjacent 103-acre Lindberg easement, provides a total protected area of 229 acres in Inver Grove Heights. As is typical for a voluntary land protection program, landowners don't always move forward with their projects for a variety of reasons; and eight projects that staff worked on were either withdrawn by the landowner, or the County completed them with Outdoor Heritage funding from another grant. Dakota County also completed a significant amount of restoration work within a variety of habitats, totaling 392 acres.  Restoration work was completed in areas including: the new Hampton Woods WMA; on the Grannis easement; and at three locations along the Vermillion River, among other locations.  This restoration work is ongoing. Dakota County's commitment to land conservation is reflected in one of four County Board Strategic Plan Goals: A healthy environment with quality natural areas. This commitment is recognized through annual County Board support (e.g., funding and staff resources) for land conservation programs, other environmental health and protection programs and initiatives, as well as the County Board's commitment to not only establish regional parks and County park preserves, but its commitment to restoring habitat within its park system. Through this commitment, County Land Conservation staff work with confidence and were able to achieve greater grant match support than anticipated, providing County grant-match funding and in-kind staff time totaling $732,300, $444,300 more than the original estimate of $288,000.  The extended length of time afforded to expend grant funding, per Section 2.1 of the grant agreement contributed greatly to this level of County grant-match. ",,"Through the Dakota County Land Conservation Program, the County has been protecting high-quality natural areas for wildlife habitat and improved water quality, outside its regional park system, since 2003. As with many conservation acquisition efforts during the term of this grant, modifications were made to accommodate evolving circumstances. As a result, Dakota County acquired four conservation easements that protected 212 acres of: wetlands (5 acres); Forest/Woodland (49 acres); Grasslands (24 acres); Cultivated land that was restored to natural vegetation (100 acres); Habitat (12 acres); and Open Water (22 acres). The County's voluntary program can be unpredictable. An application round is held each year to accept submittals for potential conservation easement projects. Project Prioritization Criteria are used to score and rank project applications. Some projects move through the process to closing, and some stall-out or are withdrawn by the landowner for a variety of reasons. The common, uncertain nature of a voluntary conservation program is why in future grants, the County extended the window of time to complete acquisitions, because sometimes it just takes more time to get to the closing. An extended acquisition timeframe will provide greater flexibility in completing projects. The County also successfully completed three natural area fee title acquisitions totaling 197 acres, establishing the first protected land within the new Hampton Woods Wildlife Management Area in Hampton and Castle Rock townships.  This historic woodland has stood for centuries and was used by settlers as a woodlot as surrounding areas were cultivated.  The County transferred ownership and management of the 197 acres of land to the Minnesota DNR.  More acquisitions are planned, with subsequent ownership transfer to the DNR within this new WMA. Regarding restoration efforts, the County successfully restored 390 acres, involving 16 parcels. The County requires not only Natural Resource Management Plans (NRMPs) for each natural area easement, but requires that landowners sign a Management Agreement (MA) that outlines restoration and maintenance activities, who is responsible for the work, and how each activity will be funded, using cost estimates from accepted contractor proposals. Restoration work involved parcels that include over 1 mile of shoreline. Restoration activities included: restoring agricultural land to natural vegetation; removing invasive species, like buckthorn; establishing test areas to determine the most effective way(s) to remove invasive species; and forest and prairie seeding to re-establish or enhance native species diversity.  The parcels restored supports populations of eagles, sandhill cranes, deer, eastern cottontail, wild fur-bearing game (fox, coyote, mink, and beaver), wild turkey, pheasant, wood duck, and other waterfowl. Restoration activities anticipate an increase in the populations of these and many other species, which will augment populations on the adjacent land. In addition, these restoration efforts anticipate more diverse populations of non-game species. Baseline populations will be monitored into the future.

The watershed landscape has been highly modified for agricultural production land development; less than 50 percent of pre-settlement wetland acres remain in Carver County. The creation of runoff storage is a viable tool to improve water quality in Carver, Bevens and Silver Creek. While there are potentially many restoration sites, the water quality impact from an individual site depends on the site's physical characteristics, watershed size, and land use. These factors impact sediment and nutrient loading and removal effectiveness of wetland restorations and storage practices. Potential sites that are evaluated now are done so opportunistically without a watershed wide evaluation of their effectiveness.

The SRWD is currently developing a systemic approach to address all of the public drainage ditches on a schedule, creating better maintenance and repair schedules. As part of this systematic approach, the SRWD has a need for a standardized information management system for drainage activities. A database will allow for organization of information with standard document naming, efficient and timely updates to the information, public access to records and up-to-date tracking of drainage system proceedings including inspection status. Using the database, the SRWD will be able to schedule required drainage buffer inspections, track violations and determine follow-up procedures in a timely manner. The database will also be used to track and target areas which violate drainage law and update staff on current proceedings regarding those violations.

Four fish passage projects opened up access to 180 miles of river and 13,521 acres of lake and wetland habitat. We enhanced habitat on 39 Aquatic Management Areas, totalling 1440 acres, through the efforts of four positions funded by this appropriation. It also funded two stream habitat positions that oversaw the completion of 23 DNR projects and over 50 partner-lead projects funded by various OHF sources. ",,"Stream projects were chosen based on the DNR's Stream Habitat Priority List, where projects are ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded nine stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are listed below. - Solid Bottom Creek: This project addressed a steep, eroding stream bank along 500 feet of a designated trout stream.  The stream bank was a primary source of sedimentation within the stream, and likely contributed to a delta that is forming at the outlet of the stream in Elbow Lake.  Construction was completed in the spring of 2016, relocating the stream away from the tall eroding bank, stabilizing the toe of that bank by installing toe-wood structures, and enhancing pool habitat for trout that are stocked into the stream. - Whisky Creek: OHF funding from DNR was combined with a CPL grant to the City of Barnesville to fund the project.  Bids for the work came in under projected costs, which allowed the City to also remove another dam within city limits on Whisky Creek that was underneath a railroad bridge.  Work has been completed in 2015 on the modification of the dam at Blue Eagle Lake and the removal of the dam underneath the railroad bridge. This project restored fish passage to 31 miles of upstream habitat. -Minnesota River at Granite Falls: Construction of a riffle in the Minnesota River at Granite Falls was completed in December 2017. The project modified the remnants of an old dam made of rock into a riffle, enhancing spawning habitat that will be used by numerous fish species including lake sturgeon, walleye, and sauger. -Red Sand Lake outlet: The outlet structure on Red Sand Lake was modified to allow fish passage, with construction completed in June of 2018. The former drop structure within a culvert was replaced by a larger culvert with an arch-rapids upstream and downstream, and with natural substrate within the culvert. Fish passage between White Sand Lake, which lies downstream, Red Sand Lake, and wetlands in between will benefit Red Sand Lake, especially in the occasional year that it experiences a partial fish-kill due to low oxygen conditions. -South Branch Root River: This project was funded by the ML2013 and ML2014 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriation. A 450 foot reach of the river was experiencing severe erosion, with the streambank losing over 10 feet per year. A riffle was constructed at the upstream end of the reach to direct flow, and a bankfull bench was constructed along the eroding bank using toe wood to enhance stability and fish habitat. The bench was vegetated with a native seed mix and willow live stakes. Construction was completed in August of 2018, with ML2013 funds only used for work completed prior to July 1, 2018. -Turtle River: DNR partnered with the US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Beltrami County to replaced an undersized culvert that blocked fish passage. The project opened up 13,000 acres of lake and wetland habitat and 30 miles of river that was formerly inaccessible to fish downstream of the project. -Mississippi River at Weaver Bottoms: Former deepwater habitat in Goose Lake, a former floodplain lake on the Mississippi River had been filled with silt over several decades. This project dredged 9 acres back into deepwater habitat, and was completed in the fall of 2017. Dredge spoils from project excavation were stockpiled on land for drying and eventual spreading and revegetation on private land. The deepwater habitat is becoming rare on the river due to sedimentation, and is critical for over-wintering habitat for bluegill, crappies, and other fish species. This project was split between the ML2012 and ML2013 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriations, and accomplished acres split proportional to the total cost contributed by each. -Middle Fork Zumbro River/Lake Shady: 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. Accomplished acres are split between the two OHF appropriations proportional to funds contributed. -Middle Branch Whitewater River: Construction began on this project in September of 2016. At that time, the new channel and floodplain were shaped prior to the end of the construction season. However, this project has run into issues with design that have prevented its completion to date. An outside consultant has been hired by DNR to provide a final design, with a new construction period in the summer of 2019 to complete the project. DNR received approval for an amendment that added this project to our ML2015 Aquatic Habitat appropriation, which will be used to pay for the remaining design and construction of this project. -Aquatic Management Area enhancement: Enhancement work on 39 different AMAs such as prescribed burns, riparian plantings, and invasive species control were done on 1440 acres of habitat. Locations were in all four LSOHC planning regions. This work was made possible by the four AMA habitat positions funded by this appropriation. AMA staff assessed habitat needs at 106 AMAs, and developed management guidance that identifies enhancement needs for those parcels. In addition to the 39 projects done using this appropriation, AMA staff were involved with 106 other Outdoor Heritage-funded AMA enhancement projects, and provided guidance for 23 similar projects being lead by external partners who were using OHF money. -Stream Habitat Specialist positions: Two specialists were hired to coordinate statewide stream habitat worked that was funded by OHF. These positions were responsible for both DNR projects, and assisting partner organizations with their projects. These positions upped the capacity for DNR to undertake multiple larger stream habitat projects, and to increase the quality of projects being done by partners. During the life of this appropriation, specialists participated in the design and construction oversight of 23 DNR stream projects, and provided assistance to over a dozen local partners on over 50 stream habitat projects funded by various OHF appropriations.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,"Mn Dept of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road ","Saint Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cass, Chippewa, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Fillmore, Hubbard, Itasca, Jackson, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Martin, Meeker, Morrison, Otter Tail, Polk, Renville, Rice, Rock, St. Louis, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-aquatic-habitat-phase-v,,,,

The prescribed burn on Benderberg WMA triggered an excellent response in the native wet prairie remnant.  It was largely an after-thought at this was former pasture, but the presence of fire really benefitted the native plant community.  There was even some hand- harvest opportunity for species like wood lily.  Without the roving crew and the MarshTracker, an Rx burn on this site would not have been possible.  This was the first time much of this ground had seen a fire in over 4 decades.  The plan is to periodically maintain this WMA with fire going forward and to maintain/enhance the wet prairie community that so wonderfully responded to it the first time around. These funds were used to complete more than 50 acres of woody control projects on the Lake Bronson and Two Rivers Aspen Parkland Scientific and Natural Areas.  These projects were part of an ongoing multi-year strategy to combat the encroachment of woody vegetation into high quality native prairies.  In addition to setting back encroaching willows and aspen, the Lake Bronson SNA project appeared to have positive impacts on the sites population of western prairie fringed orchids (a Federally threatened species) as the second highest number of orchids ever recorded on the site were counted the spring following the project.   One untold stories is the cooperation between conservation agencies and NGOs in Minnesota.  In some states, feds don’t like the state, and the NGOs fight among themselves.  In Minnesota, we all get along really well.  This is evidenced in partnership efforts that developed the Prairie Plan and Pheasant Plan.  One early fear with OHF is that this would cause these groups to start bickering over the resource.  In fact, the exact opposite has happened.  It has pulled us together and increased cooperation.  One example of that is our collective seed harvest and grassland restoration efforts.  In at least two areas, most notably Detroit Lakes and the Glacial Lakes area, multiple agencies/NGOs are coordinating their seed harvest and restoration efforts.    Partners are looking 1 to 3 years ahead on restoration efforts.  Seed production is best on burned sites.  Partners are determining what units and what soil types they want to restore each year.  Then they find native tracts or high diversity restorations with similar soil types.  These sites are prioritized for burning in the spring.   Once the site is burned, partners again work together to harvest and store the seed in the fall.  The seed is then distributed to the DNR, USFWS, TNC or other partners.  The seed is spread on the sites in the late winter or early spring.  In some cases, agency/NGO staff are harvesting the seed.  In other cases, they work with local contractors to harvest the seed.   Harvesting local seed is both cost-effective and when harvesting native tracts ensures we, collectively, are using a diverse mix of local ecotype seed.   Again, the OHF has helped developed new partnerships and projects that would not have happened or that would have happened at a much smaller scale with these critical funds.   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.     ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"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",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Roseau, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wabasha, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-5,,,,

Stewart River Restoration: The Stewart River channel restoration project used Natural Channel Design to restore 4,500 of premier trout stream in Northeastern Minnesota. Historic logging and a berm located in the floodplain had significantly impacted the stream. The project was designed and implemented to create trout habitat including deep pools, overhead cover and abundant spawning gravels. The project also removed the confines of the berm and reconnected the stream with the floodplain. A 100 year flood affected the project just a few years after implementation.

This stream was historically altered and had an in-stream trash rack which affected fish passage and the stability of the stream. The 2012 flood caused the stream to blowout around the trash rack resulting in a highly aggraded and unstable stream. The trash rack was removed and the dimension, pattern and profile of the stream was restored. Additionally, 8.4 miles of the stream was reconnected with the removal of the trash rack. During design, a historic native burial site was discovered just downstream of the project site. This slowed down design as we needed to sort through the risks to artifacts and find a tribal inspector to be onsite during construction. In the end we were able to do the project with oversight from the tribe. No artifacts were discovered during construction. Construction finished in June of 2020. North Branch of Whitewater River Restoration: This channel restoration project took place within Whitewater State Park in a location that previously had riprap installed on the bank for stabilization. This riprap failed at least two times so a stream restoration was implemented to better address the issues causing the bank erosion. The project utilized toe-wood sodmat to protect the bank and reshaped the channel dimension, pattern and profile based on a nearby stable reference reach. During construction it was found that the bed and bank material were particularly difficult for toe-wood sodmat installation. A unique technique using a trenching bucket was employed to get the toe-wood sod mat installed correctly. Another impact of the bed and bank materials was that it was difficult to get vegetation established. This project had to have additional work done after the original construction was finished. Due to lack of vegetation, a large flood and being in a flashy watershed, some of the stream features were impacted after the flood. Following the damages, the natural pattern that the river laid out was utilized to improve the overall project. The project was replanted with additional straw protection. Since the adjustments were made, the project has been stable and the vegetation is getting established. Cottonwood River Restoration: DNR partnered with Redwood County to complete this restoration. This project was originally funded to provide fish passage at three dams by modifying the dams to rock arch rapids structures. However during the course of project development, at two of the dam sites, the grantee opted to install riffles along the river corridor to slowly step the river down and to provide more habitat than originally anticipated. Two of the dam sites now have 6-7 riffles and deep pool associated with those riffles. Fish use these pools as is evident by the anglers seen at various riffles. Fish have also been seen passing through the riffles to get upstream. Construction of this project started in February of 2020; that spring construction was put on hold due to high flows and the COVID pandemic. However, as the flows were rising the contractor continued to work. This proved to be an issue when the contractor was unable to finish installing that riffle. As a result, the unfinished structure caused some significant erosion; this lead to additional work at that riffle site for the contractor once flows receded. The COVID- 19 pandemic significantly limited the ability of Department staff to provide construction oversight which would likely have avoided the contractor working in rising flows. Construction of the projects were finished in fall of 2020. Overall the project accomplished the goals of fish passage and has the added benefit of additional habitat along the river corridor. Driftless Area Habitat Enhancement: The DNR's Fisheries Construction crew used this appropriation to purchase rock and equipment rental to enhance 15 acres of stream habitat in the Driftless Area of Minnesota. Shoreline protection accomplished with this appropriation consisted of two fee-title acquisitions, nine trout stream easement acquisitions, and three Forest for the Future conservation easements. The two fee-title acquisitions protected 52 acres and 4,825 feet of undeveloped shoreline . All nine trout stream easement acquisitions were in the SE Forest Ecological Section. Two easement acquisitions were initiated in the Northern Forest Section, but neither was successfully concluded. The nine trout stream easements protect a total of 132 acres and 31,150 feet of stream. The Forest for the Future project prioritized protecting forests in high priority cisco lake watersheds. With this project, one 32 acre easement was purchased in the Kabekona watershed (Hubbard County), 122 acres in the Ten Mile lake watershed (Cass County), and 193 acres in the Pelican watershed in Crow Wing County. Two large easement acquisitions were not completed when the landowners chose not to accept the DNR offer. These acquisitions were scheduled to be completed close to the end of the appropriation availability and we did not have enough time to move on to other parcels. Therefore, we did not meet goals for easement acquisition and funds were returned to the Council.

The first of these is hiring qualified consultants to coordinate the project and produce the curriculum. They will work closely with the elders to understand how language is taught and how culture is the link that makes language relevant to the student?s experience.The second strategy is to place elders and culture at the center of all development activity. This strategy is critical to the design of the project as the knowledge and experiences shared by elders will be used to develop the curriculum frameworks that will guide the curriculum development process from start to finish.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The goal of this project is to increase Ojibwe language and cultural proficiency in two apprentices and fluency in two masters while also increasing positive language imaging in the community over the course of an 18-month period.

This effort results in projects, but also in the creation of future stewards of the watershed district that can help to carry on the RWMWD's mission, and promote its work. The RWMWD has identified schools as a primary target for stormwater management because of their large impervious surface areas with little or no stormwater treatment on site. During the last year and a half the District has inventoried and assessed its schools though a CWF Accelerated Implementation Fund grant to identify high priority sites where stormwater volume and pollution reduction projects can be most cost effective. Communication with principals, school district grounds staff and educators indicates that they have a strong interest in partnering with RWMWD to address water quality goals, but they do not have the budget to cover the costs of constructing BMPS. This project will offer grant funds to schools for BMP retrofit projects that will intercept, treat and infiltrate or filter runoff that will reduce total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) loads to high priority areas water bodies within RWMWD.

",,"Working with area managers at both MN DNR and USFWS, Pheasants Forever requested proposals to complete wetland restoration, invasive tree removal, prairie seeding, and prescribed fire on existing WMA's and WPA's in the Prairie zone. Projects were then ranked based on priorities including, T&E species, Conservation Plan Focus Areas (e.g. the MN Prairie Plan), size of the complex area, water quality benefits, and overall cost to complete. Once projects were selected for funding, Pheasants Forever restoration staff worked closely with area managers in order to develop restoration/enhancement plans. Once those plans were developed they were written into a statement of work that was sent to numerous contractors in order to solicit competitive bids following PF's procurement policy. Once a contractor has been awarded the contract, PF and agency staff monitored the restoration/enhancement work to ensure it was completed adequately. Pheasants Forever had proposed to enhance 7,800 acres of uplands and restore 45 acres of wetlands. We did fall short of our upland goal by enhancing 7,275 acres, as we gave priority to wetland restoration projects. This, however, caused us to far exceed our goal and restore 952 wetland acres, thus over-achieving our total acre goal by 382 acres. Additionally, due to the value of these wetland restoration projects, PF was able to bring more than $156,000 of federal match, specifically from the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, to this proposal. There were no significant issues that occurred during the proposal period. As with any work of this kind we anticipated there would be challenges due to weather, contractor difficulties, agency staff changes, etc. but by working closely with our partners we were able to be very successful on our delivery of this important wildlife habitat work.

Secondly, we'll be keeping a grid of student attendance and keep an eye on our trends. As we've written, our program has been expanding, and we expect it to continue to do so. Day-to-day attendance has been somewhat inconsistent. Though this is largely because our students are very involved in their school's athletic and fine arts programs, as well as other community organizations. While we are happy to be flexible for these situations, we still intend to keep record of attendances and address other issues that may be contributing to attendance losses.","Since receipt, front ensemble absences decreased from an average of 2 to 0-1 per day. As a result, the program was able to develop quicker without having to account for constant absences. Anecdotally, Phoenix Drumline was named Minnesota Percussion Association’s Independent A Class Champions for the second year in a row. They also competed and placed 17th at Winter Guard International’s Championships in Dayton, Ohio. These outcomes, including a consistently improving sense of pride, are in no small part due to the purchasing of new instruments.",,6195,"Other, local or private",18000,,"Richard Kuttner, Jackie Peterson-Riebe, Shannon Brice, CariAnn Squier, Tammi Matter, Thomas Larum, Jacob Lundy, Andrew Larum, Joeseph Lundy, Deondre Smiles, Gregory Hutto",0.00,"Crow River Drumline Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity",Equip/Fac-Legacy,,"Frontline drum equipment purchase",2015-12-15,2016-12-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Thomas,Larum,"Crow River Drumline Association","547 Milwaukee Ave SW",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 291-1483 ",tjlarum@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Renville, Sibley, Stearns, Kandiyohi, Lyon, Yellow Medicine, Olmsted, Dakota, Benton",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/equipfac-legacy,"Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Maureen Keimig: actor/theater director; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Tammy Grubbs: visual artist, theatre; Tom Rice: arts administration; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Kate Aydin: retired educator; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, former High School English/creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Dana Johnson: producer/filmmaker; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Scott Tedrick: journalist, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, theatre director/actor.",,2

Chronicles of The Diaspora play highlighted the experiences of two Somali-American immigrant families and examines their version of the American dream. Many forces play into the story of these families – Somali politics, identity crisis, terrorism, the strains of preserving culture, mental health, suicide, domestic abuse (topics many consider taboo), and highlights the misunderstandings and tensions between long time Americans and their new Somali neighbors. Promises of prosperity and happiness are felt that reach far beyond the limbo of living in two cultures. The post-play discussions with actors and and audience members opened up more dialogue than we had anticipated. The play was performed in three location, Minneapolis, St. Paul and St. Cloud. We worked with 11 actors. The turnout of the play were as follows: Minneapolis - 175, St. Cloud - 160, St. Paul - 185 Weekly art works were also implemented within the past year at our three locations which was led by Abdi Phenomenal, spoken word artist who has dedicated his talent to arts literacy programing tailored to the conversations of Somali identity, equity access, and opportunity. As a result of this program, we have been able to practice, teach, present, and increase intercultural understanding; improve quality of life for youth by engaging them with positive art activities that simultaneously connects them with their culture and provide opportunities for enrichment and self-expression. We also had a chance to work with 10 different artist during the Somali Independence Day Festival on July 9th this year.

Youth were placed into beginner or intermediate groups based on their Ojibwe language knowledge. The Ojibwe Language class schedule for both age groups for the 28 Ojibwe language sessions was planned for the remainder of the academic year. The First Language Project curriculum was developed, including power point presentations, visual and written handouts, and interactive games. An Attendance, Participation and Understanding tracking system was developed by the First Language Project Coordinator. The 7-12 yr old group attended 31 sessions during the academic school years and the teen group attended 28 sessions during the academic school year. Ojibwe lessons took place daily during ten weeks of two summer sessions. Forty-two youth ages 7-12 participated in summer programs. The First Language Project testing is broken up into three categories of scoring beginning is 13-19 points, intermediate is 20-43 points and dvanced is 44-77 points. Results from the school year: The Project Coordinator tried to start testing the youth close to the end of the school year in case some of the youth started dropping out. Eleven teens tested all togehter, their overall average test score was 42. Five teens tested in the advanced range, four teens tested in the intermediate range and two teens tested in the beginning stage. Twenty-six 7-12 year olds tested all together, their overall test score was 39. Ten 7-12 tested in the advanced range, eleven 7-12 tested in the intermediate range and three tested in the beginning range. Overall we thought these are great numbers, considering that we had a fair amouont of youth turnover resulting in new youth joining the program after the start. Results from the summer program: The second year students in the first summer session and both first and second year students inthe second summer session all had satisfactory evaluation scores. The scores for the second year students from the first session ranged from 34 as the lowest score, 47 the average score and 60 bieng the highest score out of a total of 77 points. The scores for the first year students from the second summer session ranged from 17 as the lowerst, 32 as the average score and 47 being the highest out of a total of 65 points.

Without timely intervention,the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The Division of Indian Work’s First Language Project will service youth who attend Minneapolis Public Schools. The goal of this grant is that American Indian youth, ages 7-17 will increase their knowledge and practice of conversational Dakota language. Additionally, the goal is that these students will continue to study the language after the grant cycle is over. Measurement of these goals will be determined through periodic testing of the Dakota language acquisition.

Additionally, this project will identify timber harvest frequency and distribution as well as significant change to forest area including conversion of forests to other land uses, large fires, and blowdown events.

Sustainable timber harvesting in combination with application of voluntary water quality BMP's has helped to maintain water quality in Minnesota's managed forest lands. However, risks to water quality in these landscapes still remain, with rates of BMP implementation, harvesting patterns, and watershed characteristics influencing the potential for impacts to occur at any given time or place.

","In FY 14 DNR will monitor the implementation of sustainable forest management guidelines and water quality BMPs on 80 – 100 timber harvest sites across 4 forested watersheds.

The combined information along with specific watershed characteristics will be used to identify water quality risk factors within target watersheds and strategies to reduce those risks. Outreach programs will then be developed to work with forest landowners managers and loggers to implement strategies. Specific outcomes include: -Establishment of a protocol for identifying forest change at the watershed level that can also be applied statewide. -Identify the distribution of timber harvest and forest change in four watersheds including Mississippi Headwaters Rum River North Lake Superior and South Lake Superior. -Monitor the implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality BMPs through on-site investigation on a total of 80-100 sites across these 4 watersheds. -Progress in development of a protocol for identifying level of risk to water quality due to timber harvesting frequency and distribution level of BMP implementation and additional watershed characteristics Outreach programs based on above data will be developed in FY15.","In FY14 DNR foresters identified the distribution of timber harvest and forest change in four watersheds: Mississippi Headwaters Rum River Lake Superior South and Lake Superior North. DNR established a protocol for identifying forest change at the watershed level; this protocol will be refined to better differentiate among various forest change types. For example some partial harvesting is difficult to distinguish from wind damage. Also time sequence is required to detect difference between forest harvesting and some land conversions such as pasturing. In the four target watersheds foresters monitored 34 sites for implementation of forest management guidelines and water quality best management practices. About 1/3 of the sites planned for monitoring in FY14 were completed; the remainder will be completed by Sept 31 2014. Contract work was delayed due to length of time required to get contract approvals. DNR is also developing a protocol for identifying level of risk to water quality due to timber harvesting frequency and distribution level of BMP implementation and additional watershed characteristics. The primary progress on this task was hiring a Research Analysis Specialist whose responsibilities will be focused development of this protocol. The hiring process was completed in early FY15 and significant progress will be made on this protocol in the coming year.

Though the work took longer than anticipated, the work was, indeed, completed. Much credit for this accurate completion goes to the inventory team. The team was dedicated and thorough, especially about searching out and confirming documentation and accession numbers and object ID numbers. Both members of the team had strong regard for the role museums play in preserving ideas. One member had strong roots in the community and an investment in maintaining the integrity of the artifacts. The other member had a strong attention to detail concerning the integrity of the data. The museum director was in frequent contact with the team so that questions could be dealt with in a timely manner. The PP records were carefully and fully completed. Other achieved targets follow: New staff members were trained in use of PastPerfect for research. New and returning staff members were trained in cataloging newly received artifacts in PP. New and returning staff members were trained in entering data into PP. One of our long term goals is to have intellectual control over our collection, indicated by coordinating displays with community events, and outreaching information to the community. That is already happening: LHPA sponsored a local theater director in a series of popup plays depicting Lanesboro in the 1930s. The database was useful in finding artifacts and information to support that project. LHPA cooperated with Lanesboro Arts to support local student researchers who used the museum archives to complete videos on small town history under a Youth Access grant from The Smithsonian. Screening of these videos included credit for LHPA and an opportunity to explain to the public the value of the museum archives and artifacts in historical research. LHPA is planning and partnering with several other local groups to sponsor WaterWays, a traveling exhibition from The Smithsonian that will be in Lanesboro in January 2017.

",,,,1926000,,,4.55,BWSR,"State Government","This pilot project tested the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of acquiring grassland conservation easements and protected 459 acres of critical and threatened grassland habitat, through one MLT easement and two BWSR-RIM easements.  Through partner coordination among BWSR, MLT, TCF and local SWCD's, this proposal contributed to implementation of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"A Conservation Legacy in Jeopardy Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota.  The LSOHC defined Prairie Section has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, in the next five years approximately 800,000 acres of Minnesota’s conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will expire. Unless action is taken to continue protection of these lands by using a combination of conservation programs, many will likely be converted to cropland, eliminating most of the wildlife habitat and associated ecosystem benefits. This project piloted new and innovative approaches to securing conservation easements to permanently protect large assemblages of critical grassland habitat.  The need for this private lands approach in the Prairie Section is essential because ownership patterns in this landscape include many private landowners with smaller parcels that require custom-tailored conservation solutions. These solutions often involve crafting easements that assure conservation of the grasslands while also working with the landowner to make the management of the grasslands profitable and therefore, sustainable.   Lands targeted for protection through this pilot met the following criteria: Near or within the Core Areas identified in the Prairie Plan. Within approximately two miles of permanently protected land. Establishing connections to permanently protected land wherever possible. Within approximately five miles of a viable producer with a proven track record of managing grasslands with livestock and willing to own land protected by a permanent easement mandating grassland conservation management methods and practices. Low production cropland. Once these priority grassland complexes had been identified, the project partners tested three important protection elements in order to determine how to best implement a cost-effective grasslands program at a larger scale:  First, landowners within these identified complexes were offered a menu of land protection options to assess what is of greatest interest or application in this landscape.   One of the options included a model in which a non-profit partner, The Conservation Fund (TCF), would use its revolving fund to acquire land in fee from a landowner not interested in maintaining their land as a working grassland. TCF would hold ownership until funds are available to sell a conservation easement to an easement holder such as Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) or the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR).  Once the easement is in place, TCF would subsequently sell the underlying fee, now reduced in value by the conservation easement, to a pre-identified local producer.   This approach allows TCF to act quickly to acquire land that would otherwise be sold and converted to row crops. The value of the easement, and the value of the land sold to the local producer, will be determined by an appraisal.    Outcome - This option was investigated, but unfortunately due to a number of factors was not chosen by any landowners. Another option was for the landowner to sell a conservation easement directly to the BWSR or the MLT.  All easement acquisition funds were allocated to BWSR.  Once specific easements and their respective holders were identified, BWSR allocated the funds necessary to MLT to complete their acquisition through a State approved contract.  Outcome - One MLT easement was recorded on 284 acres in Pope County. Two RIM easements were recorded for 45.8 acres in Chippewa County and 129.5 acres in Murray County. The second element being tested was how to best implement grasslands protection in a private, working landscape. This included developing conservation easements and management plans that protect the important grassland and prairie habitats while simultaneously providing the agricultural producers with residual economic value through restricted grazing or haying. This is a critical issue for the ultimate success of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Outcome - BWSR, MLT, and TCF worked together to develop a grazing plan template and for the MLT secured easement a conservation grazing plan was developed and is being implemented that allows a level of utilization of the grassland while prioritizing wildlife habitat.  Finally, this pilot project also explored how BWSR and non-profit partners can most cost effectively value and secure these unique conservation easements. This included an evaluation of all of the costs, potential leverage of federal programs, timing and landowner interest in the easements’ value to bring a program to scale.  Outcome - Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.   This pilot project worked with local producers who were interested in promoting conservation compatible agriculture and who are interested in conservation easements that allow them to remain competitive in today’s climate of escalating agricultural land prices. This approach allowed state conservation funds to potentially leverage current or future federal funding via the Farm & Ranchland Protection Program, Grassland Reserve Program, or CRP. Due primarily to unavailability of federal funds non were utilized on the three secured easements. Management costs for maintaining grassland habitat will be largely borne by the local producer as part of their operation rather than be a continuous financial burden on the government. Finally, this approach also keeps land on the local tax rolls and helps to promote a diversified local economy. As an attachment to this final report is a seven page document that goes into detail on each of the points being piloted with this project.   The conclusions of this project included: 1.    BWSR’s RIM program is high volume, one size fits all.  While MLT/TCF are lower volume but can be flexible when necessary.   2.    At an individual easement level combining State government and non-profit (MLT and TCF for example) programs was not shown to be needed and did not provide benefits beyond what each entities programs could offer individually. While it is extremely valuable to have both program options operating within the same geography and acting in complementary fashions, they are different enough that combining them into one program did not create an advantage. 3.    It is important that a landowner have options that include both government and non-government easement programs so they can decide which works best for them. 4.    Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.      5.    BWSR and MLT/TCF are able to utilize RIM or other funds from various appropriations to secure an easement.  For example, the Chippewa site would not have been permanently protected if BWSR was not able to utilize both OHF and Bonding funding.  This demonstrates how public and private entities can combine funding sources to enhance their effectiveness and why coordination of public and private programs is important.  6.    This pilot delivered a very successful working grassland habitat protection project as one of its outcomes, which included a model or template conservation grazing plan. MLT will monitor this property 2x per year to ensure compliance with the conservation easement terms.  7.    Landowner interest will fluctuate with commodity prices and land values making the timing of appropriations important to get right.  8.    Conservation easements satisfy only a portion of the landowner’s overall goals for their properties and must work in concert with the other uses and needs of private landowners.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim," Koehler","Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-296-6745,tim.koehler@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grasslands-future,,,,

The mapping system must include wellhead protection areas special well construction areas groundwater provinces groundwater recharge areas and other designated or geographical areas related to groundwater. This mapping system shall be used to implement all groundwater-related laws and for reporting and evaluations. This appropriation is available until June 30 2017.

A series of stakeholder meetings will be held and Preliminary Assessment Reports will be completed for all three GWMAs.","In FY14 the DNR initiated planning projects and stakeholder involvement efforts to establish three groundwater management areas (GWMA’s). DNR formed a project advisory team (PAT) for each of these areas to provide advice and feedback during the GWMA planning process. The project advisory team includes cities permitted users business people conservation districts and other state agencies. DNR completed preliminary assessments of technical information and shared that information with the PAT’s over a series of monthly meetings.

An increasing reliance on groundwater may not be a sustainable path for continued economic growth and development. The DNR is establishing three pilot groundwater management areas (GWMA) to help improve groundwater appropriation decisions and help groundwater users better understand and plan for future groundwater needs associated with economic development. The three areas include: the North and East Metropolitan Region, which includes all of Ramsey and Washington Counties, and the southern portion of Anoka County; the second area includes the Straight River, near Park Rapids; and the third area includes portions of Pope, Stearns, and Kandiyohi counties, known as Bonanza Valley, which includes the towns of Glenwood, Brooten, Belgrade, Elrosa and other communities. Clean Water Funds are used to hire project managers, meeting facilitators and support stakeholder engagement to inform and advise the planning process.","Water is crucial to Minnesota’s economies and ecosystems. Minnesota has a well-deserved image of having abundant water resources, nevertheless, water is not evenly distributed across the state. Despite our popular image, water is becoming scarce in parts of Minnesota. Unprecedented water use conflicts are arising between businesses, towns, and residents. In most areas of the state, we are not yet in “crisis” mode when it comes to water availability. We have time to address these issues and ensure that Minnesota’s economies and ecosystems have adequate water supplies in the future. Each of the selected pilot Groundwater Management Areas has been experiencing increased use and reliance on groundwater to meet public or private needs. The purpose of a groundwater management area is to organize resources and people to better understand the risk of overuse and contamination in these areas, and to develop a plan that the Department of Natural Resources can implement to ensure sustainable use of water.

In the mid-1990s, the Shaft House and Miners Dry House were renovated. Again the 6.5-acre area was later abandoned and subject to vandalism. Greenstone was granted a contract with the City in 2011 to manage the mine site and became aware of how little was known by the public of the historical significance of Ely mines. The signage and core are to help fill that gap with the goal of making the public aware and proud of iron ore mining’s importance to the city and its growth and how that impacted the building of America and two world wars.

Program planners developed new programs at Historic Fort Snelling, Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post and the Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site. Evaluation results showed that 81% of program guests surveyed felt that these programs increased their knowledge of Minnesota history, places and culture. 71% of guests responded that these programs increased their personal connection to history. A new training program, ""Conversation as Interpretation,"" was developed to train staff for these new programs to make experiences more conversational and engaging, while preparing them to be more comfortable in discussing sensitive subject matter. The Alexander Ramsey House continued implementation of its popular new programs. The innovative programs include monthly History Happy Hours; a Ramsey After Dark series, where the secrets of Victorian life are exposed; Ramsey Time Capsule family days, including parlor games and other hands-on activities for children; and History Chef cooking classes, where participants use Ramsey family recipes to create authentic Victorian dishes in the Ramsey House kitchen. Program development areas also expanded to other areas of the state. Historic Forestville developed and implemented a new special event, Civil War Encampment Days of '63. As part of the commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg's sesquicentennial, this experience included a recreated Civil War military camp, fire muskets, and special presentation of the Gettysburg Address by a costumed interpreter portraying Abraham Lincoln. At the Oliver Kelley Farm, program staff began the next stage of program development as part of an overall capitol project to improve and enhance the experience. MNHS collaborated with the Nicollet County Historical Society and Gustavus Adolphus College to create a new exhibit and trail signs for the Lac qui Parle Mission Historic Site. Students enrolled in a fall 2013 Public History course, taught by Gustavus' Dr. Sujay Rao and then-NCHS director Ben Leonard, explored museum careers while they researched, wrote and created a new exhibit. The productive partnership did more than just replace the over-30-year-old site interpretation. Several students went on to take a spring semester course offered by MNHS' Chris Taylor, and two completed summer internships at the Minnesota History Center. Several more are now contemplating graduate school or careers in the field.",,,2013-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,MNHS,Legacy,"Minnesota Historical Society","345 Kellogg Blvd. W","Saint Paul",MN,55102,651-259-3105,,"Capital Development/Rehabilitation","Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/historic-sites-revitalization-0,,,,

Students ranged in age from 4th to 11th grade, with a large proportion of students being recent arrivals from East Africa. These students gained a significant learning experience, informed by cultural heritage that either they carry in their families, or that exposed them to their neighbors' culture. Teachers gave feedback that this was a powerful opportunity, which would not otherwise have been available to them. Further, as of writing this report, we have scheduled additional programs in November and December with two public schools and one charter school: one program for 75 students at Barton Elementary, a program for 60 students at Global Academy in Columbia Heights, and tours for 125 more students from Andersen Community School. These students all gained access to Somali art and cultural history unavailable anywhere else in Minnesota. Without having the subsidized admission available, students from these schools would not have access to these resources as part of their education. In addition, the project engaged several Somali elders to serve as cultural interpreters and instructors for these youth. Four elder artists were engaged to teach traditional craft workshops to educators as an introduction to teaching Somali traditional arts in their classes. In addition, we filmed four community cultural experts offering narratives about Somali cultural history and art history of specific objects, which we will use to develop multimedia educational content that will be available for educators in the future. We gathered this information by recording attendance on field trips and gathering demographic data from teachers after visits. We also conducted informal interviews with participants during visits and solicited feedback via email from educators after the field trips.",,,,10210,,"Said Salah Ahmed, Board Chair, Teaching Specialist, University of MN Twin Cities – African Studies, Macaalin, poet and author, Published works in Somali and English language; Yassin Dualeh, Digital Media Director, Director of Information Technology, Ubah Medical Academy, Minneapolis; Dr. Abdulfatah Mohamed, Secretary, Public Health Professional; Abshir Isse, Professor of Somali language, Bosasso; Educator, Minneapolis Public Schools; Busad Ali Kheyre, Social Worker, Somali Senior Center, Minneapolis; Asha Hibad, Director, Somali Senior Center, Minneapolis; Mohamoud Abdullahi Mohamed, Teacher, Ubah Medical Academy; ohamed Ahmed Salad, Former Chair, Confederation of Somali Community; Faisal Deri, Director of Risk Advisory Services, Experis",,"Somali Museum of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota, home to the largest Somali population in the United States, lacks resources for students to access knowledge and representations of Somalia.

Without timely intervention,the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","This project provides Ojibwe language and culture classes to students in grades k-12.

A portion of Dodd Blvd, a driveway, and the parking lot drain to a stormwater pond at the north end of the park where water is retained, treated, and reused to irrigate two ball fields. This stormwater reuse project was constructed by the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) and the City of Lakeville in 2010 to meet VRWJPO and city goals. Runoff from the park drains into the Middle Creek tributary (reach 546) and downstream to a confluence with North Creek (545) and the Vermillion River (546). Stormwater contributes sediment, nutrients, bacteria, and heat to reaches impaired for bacteria, dissolved oxygen, fish and macroinvertebrates, degrading these resources. A primary cause of the water quality conditions in this subwatershed, and downstream, is the inability to infiltrate water due to tight soils. Dakota County and City of Lakeville plan to reconstruct part of Dodd Blvd just south of King Park in 2016. The project will provide stormwater treatment to meet regulatory requirements, but due to poor soil conditions, infiltration cannot be achieved. A pump and irrigation system will be installed and will use stormwater from the newly constructed stormwater pond to irrigate two additional ball fields. This system will serve as a surrogate for the much needed infiltration, with plans to expand the system to more ball fields in the future. A reuse system will reduce bacteria, nutrient, and thermal loads to Middle Creek, while providing nutrient benefits for park landscaping. This system would reduce stormwater volume (415,562 cubic feet/year) and thermal load to Middle Creek and downstream reaches; remove sediment (1,416 lbs/year); remove phosphorus (4.3 lbs/year); reduce E. coli (2.4 x 1016 cfu/year) decrease demand on Lakeville's water supply during summer months (3.1 million gallons/year); and maintain landscaping at King Park.

Contact","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were exceeded in every measurable way. MHM's primary goal for the Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology 5 (LMNA-5) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance survey, was to examine specific wrecks and anomalies recognized through a sonar survey and determine their significance as submerged cultural resources. During the LMNA-5 Project, MHM examined 31 anomalies assigned these numbers: 7, 9, 23, 40, 78.1, 97, 199, 327, 337, 351, 403, 441, 448, 452, 457, 481, 487, 488, 489, 491, 494, 548, 549, 550, 552, 558/559, 563, 564, 565, 566, and 569. Using data accumulated from the fieldwork as a starting point, MHM conducted research to place newly recognized nautical archaeological sites and anomalies in their historical contexts. Minnesota Archaeological Site Forms were filed with the OSA when appropriate. Initially, the proposed number of anomalies to be investigated was 25 unknown targets. However, some work days went more quickly than anticipated, so 6 more anomalies were investigated during the project. Three newly-identified sites were included in the Lake Minnetonka 2015 on-going sediment study; Bruce Koenen of the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) suggested the study in 2013 in order to determine the rate of sediment build-up in different areas of the lake. This data is used to approximate the sinking dates of boats and other resources, using wrecks with known sinking dates for comparison. After the completion of the LMNA-5 Project fieldwork in October 2015, there are now 48 wreck sites identified from Lake Minnetonka. Of these wrecks, 29 of them have 28 Minnesota archaeological site numbers; 2 wrecks are features of one site. The precise sinking dates or the year of disposition of 15 of the 19 remaining wrecks are known; MHM will fill out Minnesota archaeological site forms for them when appropriate. Further, 3 other types of maritime sites have archaeological site numbers and there are 15 maritime sites or objects without numbers. Additionally, 13 'other' objects have been identified that do not have site numbers. During the LMNA-5 Project specifically ",,1232,"Available upon request. Contact",11229,,"Michael F.

28531,"Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology 2",2014,9245,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were exceeded in every measurable way. MHM's primary goal for the Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology 2 (LMNA-2) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance surveyer, was to examine specific wrecks and anomalies recognized through a sonar survey and determine their significance as submerged cultural resources. Of the 24 anomalies investigated, 11 were cultural resources and 13 were not. Of these, 1 wreck was understood to be a wreck but her identity as a capsized pontoon boat was confirmed, 9 new wrecks were confirmed, 4 wrecks were designated as archaeological sites-including 1 wreck discovered in MHM's LMNA-1 Project earlier in 2013-and 2 maritime cultural resources were identified. Of these two resources, 1 of them was designated as an archaeological site. All the resources were rudimentarily documented for future study and where appropriate, for possible designations as nautical archaeological sites in the future. One significant outcome is the ability to keep re-prioritizing the remaining nearly 100 anomalies left to investigate on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka. Based on the negative results produced from diving on Anomalies 3, 102, and 103 during the LMNA-1 Project, and Anomalies 10 and 58 during this project specifically, MHM now has new short, intermediate, and long-term priorities for future diving in the lake. This knowledge also extends to anomalies located in Lake Waconia and White Bear Lake. The goal of educating volunteer divers on proper search techniques was exceeded-the amount of data collected during the diving, the great attitudes of MHM's volunteers about the sites investigated, and the eagerness to investigate more anomalies to learn about them is very rewarding. MHM's attempts to educate the general public through social and professional media have also met with great success. In Minnesota, MHM sought the input of an online historic Crestliner boat forum in an attempt to determine the make of a wreck. In doing so, the forum members learned about the importance of keeping submerged cultural resources unspoiled and about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota that MHM in continually uncovering. MHM also went national to consult with a large group of wooden boat restorers and enthusiasts on the Century Boat Club forum with great results; 1 wreck's make and model was determined and the group steered MHM in the correct direction on another wreck. Both of those wrecks are now recognized numbered archaeological sites with the Office of the State Archaeologist. MHM exceeded expectations and produced great results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, the solid methodology employed during the fieldwork, the previous systematic methodology employed during the remote sensing surveys that provided good data, and knowledge gained from the LMNA-1 Project. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers - choosing only ethical people instead of the other 20 divers who express interest in diving for the wrong (treasure hunting) reasons, led to a great fieldwork environment. Basically, MHM did sound nautical and maritime archaeology, and strong maritime historical research that produced trustworthy data for analysis and future use. MHM's information about the sites located and documented has not always been met with favor by a small minority of the local recreational diving community. In the past they have expressed hostility toward MHM's efforts at site documentation and conservation; it was our hope that this group has begun to recognize the importance of site integrity and preservation. Throughout the LMNA-2 Project, MHM has not received one negative comment on social media or on an often monitored online SCUBA forum. MHM considers this progress, but the attitudes towards site conservation may not have changed; the looters might just be keeping quiet about their activities and opinions. It is an on-going issue. Through the free and easily accessible LMNA-2 Project report-dowloadable from the Internet Archive through various sources, including MHM's web site and Facebook page-it is hoped the divers prone to looting will read the report and recognize the need for preservation and documentation, not illegal destruction. Lastly, MHM was pleased to learn through a volunteer that Minnesota Historical Society Director Steve Elliott referenced MHM and its work as a leader in Nautical Archaeology in Minnesota during his keynote address at the 2013 Gales of November Conference in Duluth. This recognition is meaningful to MHM, and is an indicator that our continued research into Minnesota's maritime history is significant and must continue.",,,747,,9992,,"Mikael F.

",,62000,"City of Bemidji ",1602600,,,,"City of Bemidji","Local/Regional Government","After a century of industrial use, the project brought Lake Bemidji's South Shore to its original state. The city removed 1,144 tons of contaminated soil and sediment, 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the lake-bottom and planted native vegetation on the shoreline to restore and enhance aquatic habitat. ","   ","The Lake Bemidji South Shore Restoration and Enhancement project transformed a blighted shoreline and disturbed lake bed of one of northern Minnesota’s finest urban lakes into a model of restoration to its native state, improving water quality and aquatic habitat. The project was the final step of a restoration effort led by the City of Bemidji, in partnership with the Minnesota DNR and DEED. Lake Bemidji is the first major lake in the Upper Mississippi River watershed. It supports a diverse high quality fishery for walleye, northern pike, yellow perch and muskie. These species are dependent on high quality habitats.  The south shore of Lake Bemidji has a long history of industrial use which altered the shoreline and impacted water quality. The site housed several industries, primarily forestry companies. With their closing and/or relocation, the site became a blighted brownfield. Adjacent to downtown Bemidji, the project includes approximately 4/10 mile of shoreline. From 2008-2014, the City of Bemidji partnered with DNR and DEED to clean-up the site and restore the shoreline to its native state. Specifically: -    The City purchased the site and placed it in the MPCA Voluntary Investigation and Clean-Up (VIC) Program, and using a DEED redevelopment grant, cleaned up roughly 50 acres of land. -    The DNR purchased land from the City and extended the Paul Bunyan State Trail through the site. -    The City permanently designated the lakeshore between the trail and the lake as public land. -    The DNR purchased a large parcel of the eastern shoreline as a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Much work remained on the lakeshore and in lake bed. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the old Crookston Lumber remained in the lake bottom and along the south shore. The debris covered 1,500 feet of lakeshore extending 200 feet from the shore and ranging from 1 to 4 feet deep.  The lakeshore needed to be restored to its original state, including native vegetation, trees, shrubs and natural erosion control. The land between the trail and the lake (3.1 acres) was replanted with native vegetation, improving water quality and habitat in the lake and 0.6 acre was restored for use by the public as a swimming beach, rest stop along the bike trail, and education area, totaling 3.7 acres restored for ecological and public use. The project returned the south shore of Lake Bemidji to its native state for the first time in a century, improved the shoreline and addressed water quality and aquatic habitat issues in an urban-recreational setting.  Now that restoration and enhancement is complete, the City developed (with funding outside Outdoor Heritage Council support) a regional park that provides public education on water quality and aquatic habitat restoration. The park utilizes roughly 20 percent of the shoreline. The project balances environmental protection and enhancement and public use and education on one of northern Minnesota’s premier lakes. The following was completed with Outdoor Heritage Fund support: Shoreline Restoration:  The historic industrial use of the site altered the south shoreline of Lake Bemidji. The effect was reduced water quality and compromised aquatic habitat. In May 2014, DNR specialists assessed the south shore site and determined the potential of restoring the site. The DNR recommended substantial clean-up and restoration work to improve water quality, habitat and erosion control. The restoration plan included: -    Site monitoring -    Site preparation/treatment of weeds -    Installation of native seed mixes -    Installation of 10,000 native plugs -    Planting 800 (#2) shrubs -    Planting 10 (#10) native trees -    Weed control  -    Installation of erosion control The city is committed to maintaining the improvements long term through its parks and recreation department.  Woody Debris Removal: The City studied the woody debris issue and completed design plans that lowered the lake level with a temporary cofferdam (protecting the fish) and excavating the debris out of the lake.  The City received the following permits: -    DNR Water Permit -    Army Corps of Engineers Permit -    MPCA Solid Waste/Beneficial Reuse -    Section 106 Review -    Bois Forte Band and Leech Lake Band Clearance Letter The construction work was publicly bid and specified the use of a water barrier cofferdam, Aquabarrier, Portadam, or equal. The Engineer reviewed these brands and permits were based on the specifications. MPCA VIC Program costs for remediation of contaminated soil/sediment is a fee program so costs were incurred for review. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris was removed and replaced with sand. The excavated area extended 200 feet out from the shore, covering 1,440 feet of shoreline and depth of 1 to 4 feet. Overall, 240,000 square feet of Lake Bemidji was cleaned up and restored.  The woody debris was sampled and primarily used as clean backfill on site or properly disposed of if contaminated. Approximately 400 tons of contaminated soil and 750 tons of contaminated sediment/wood debris was managed and disposed of at a permitted landfill. The City spent $63,800 in design and permitting. The estimated cost to restore the lake bed was $1.5 million with vegetation restoration totaling $150,000. The City used Landmark Environmental, LLC and Anderson Engineering of MN for construction management because they designed, assisted in bidding, and acquired permits. The City believed they provided high quality and reasonably priced services. Landmark has staff in Bemidji and engineers and staff traveled from Twin Cities to Bemidji for meetings and construction as needed. Summary: Lake Bemidji is one of northern Minnesota’s most critical natural assets. The City of Bemidji requested and received $1.65 million in Outdoor Heritage funding to complete the shoreline restoration and woody debris removal. The restoration and enhancement improves water quality and habitat to native conditions.  The South Shore Lake Bemidji project was a finalist for a Minnesota Brownfields ReScape Award in 2017 for small city impact.  ",2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Nate,Mathews,"City of Bemidji","317 Fourth Street NW ",Bemidji,MN,56601,"(218) 759-3565",nate.mathews@ci.bemidji.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Beltrami,"Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/lake-bemidji-south-shore-restoration-and-enhancement,,,,

This project will enhance 4580 linear feet of shoreline. ",,"In 2015 the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) developed a new Master Plan for Lake Nokomis and Lake Hiawatha area. This process took many months and was led by a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and included several community meetings and public open house meetings to solicit feedback from the community. The purpose was to provide a community driven vision for new long-term improvements to park facilities, recreation, landscape, trails, and shorelines. The Master Plan studied the existing conditions of the park, assessed community needs in relation to park use, and proposed specific improvement projects. One of the visions established as part of the Master Plan was to create more naturalized areas around Lake Nokomis, converting turf areas to native landscapes. Native landscapes will help stabilize segments of the shoreline, improve water quality, and enhance native habitat. Park Board staff engaged the community again during the design and planning process for the shoreline restoration project. MPRB believes this helps develop a strong community understanding of the project need and importance, lifts up community knowledge of the area, and allows projects to be successful. MPRB staff and their team of consultants worked with stakeholder groups during the schematic design phase in an effort to develop a successful plan. Two community open house meetings were held for the community to better understand the reasoning for these improvements and to hear what impacts the proposed improvements would have on Lake Nokomis and the surrounding character of the area. The open house events engaged the community in a respectful manner, allowing the public to voice their opinions. In addition an online survey was conducted to solicit feedback from those who could not attend either meeting. The actual implementation of the project included three basic phases: site preparation, construction, and maintenance. Contractors began by installing sediment control devices at the lake edge, tree protection measures around trees to remain in the restoration area, and pedestrian control devices to ensure safe recreation in the vicinity during construction. Many trees were trimmed to ensure good sunlight penetration, and many invasive trees were removed. Segments of degraded bituminous pathway were also removed, to limit some pedestrian lake access. The last element of site preparation involved the application of EPA-approved herbicides by certified applicators to eliminate turfgrass and ground -level invasives. Construction activities primarily involved grading, rock placement, and planting. In placed the ground was regraded to ensure a more gradual slope from upland to submerged planting areas. Boulder riprap was installed in certain areas along the shoreline where wave action could to the most damage to the project. Field flagging of specific planting areas and lake access pathways (stabilized turf) guided subsequent plantings. The different zones were planted in different ways: -- Wetland Buffer Zone (near the shoreline): hand held seeders -- Upland Buffer Zone (majority of project): mechanical seeding by tractor, hand installation of perennial plugs near lake access pathways, later overseeding by both hand and mechanical means -- Emergent Planting Zone (in water): hand placement -- Shrubs (scattered throughout project): hand and machine planting In all the project planted at least 49 species of native forbs, 35 species of native grasses and sedges, and 4 species of native shrubs. Maintenance activities included in the construction contract and funded by OHF occurred throughout 2020 and into the spring of 2021. Activities included the spot re-application of herbicides to control invasive weeds, hand pulling of invasives, spot and large-scale mowing to control annual weeds and invasives, and implementation of Integrated Pest Management plan for long term care and maintenance.

In the last decade, Lake George's lake grade according to Met Council's lake water quality report card has dropped from a consistent A grade to a consistent B grade. The Rum River WRAPS task force has preliminarily identified Lake George as a protection concern. The WRAPS will not, however, provide a specific implementation plan to address this lake resource. In effort to halt, and hopefully reverse the trend of declining water quality the LGID intends to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the lake and throughout the watershed. Before this can be done, project opportunities and their associated costs and benefits must be ascertained. The purpose of this project is to identify water quality improvement opportunities throughout the watershed to achieve water quality management goals. SWAT, PTM App. or other suitable models will be used to model the watershed and the effect of selected BMPs within it. The model will be calibrated with hydrology and water quality monitoring data to ensure the highest degree of accuracy possible.

An index of biological integrity (IBI) is a score that compares the types and numbers of fish, plants or other aquatic life observed in a lake to what is expected for a healthy lake. The DNR has developed fish-based IBI (FIBI) models for assessing lake condition in most Minnesota lakes. FIBI surveys sample the entire fish community, including non-game species which are often more sensitive to watershed and shoreline disturbance. In addition to FIBIs, DNR developed coldwater water quality standards for hundreds of lakes that support habitat for coldwater fishes, many of which are in decline. The FIBI and coldwater standards are used to help the MPCA assess the health of lakes and identify those lakes that may be impacted by nutrients or habitat degradation. The DNR participates in the MPCA watershed assessment process, using biological assessment data and interpretation to identify lakes as impaired or meeting standards, and to identify lakes of exceptional biological quality. We also use the biological assessment data to provide an analysis of the stressors contributing to lake impairments. ","Water pollution in lakes has traditionally been identified using water chemistry or water clarity samples, which give a brief snapshot in time for a limited number of pollutants. Biological standards are a measure of the biological community. They reflect changes to a lake over several years and respond to additional stressors beyond those measured by traditional water chemistry sampling methods. For example, the absence of certain indicator species suggests stress factors that might need further study, such as degraded shoreline habitat or connectivity problems. Together, the biological and chemical assessments provide important information to guide planning and restoration for clean water projects in watersheds.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened.

Was great to have a place for the larger group to sprawl out in, and access to the basement bathrooms and board room (where lunch was served) made it very handy.

We’ve also taken to having feedback jars at most of our events where participants can drop a penny into a jar indicating their appreciation (or not) of an event. We change the titles with events, but basically we’re trying to find out some basic feedback. Did they love it/should we bring them back? Was it simply a decent night out? Or, was it at least better than cleaning the shower. While a bit humorous, we’ve found that people’s answers do help us gauge success.

My goal is to bring together digital photographs, graphic artist, and the printer. To help complete a published book called ''Folk Art Fish Decoys'' by Jay McEvers ''A Photo History''. To use personal photographs, put them in well arranged digital files, and deliver them to the layout artist in digital folders according to category and chapters. To write my story, write good descriptions, and to work with the graphic designer and be helpful with the tone and direction of the layout. To make the best book possible using the resources available to me.Bringing my personal photographs together and presenting them in a reference book is a new experience for me. I like carving and I like being recognized for my craftsmanship and for my works. I have the many photos, and having the greater community see what I have carved over the years is the greatest reward for me. To know how well the book is received by others, I’ll put an insert in each of the two hundred books. The insert will state that This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund. With permission, I will include the LRAC logo. In the insert, I’ll ask my readers, What do you think? I’ll provide my email address and personal address and encourage their responses.","Because I usually sell the books one at a time, I learn some of the reactions to the book firsthand, so the best assessment tool is using comments made about the book. The feedback given on the book through verbal, or written comments has been positive. People like the book. “It’s a very inspiring book.” Several people were happy to spot their decoys in the book. The photographs were meant to show my style, craftsmanship, experience, and dedication and I believe I succeeded: Comment by postcards: “It’s an honor to get a grant like this.” “Just wish the book was longer! Loved it!” “Please have the Troll send me another copy.” Comment made by email: “got the book a few days ago and love it! It was a great idea and I am very glad to have it, just wanted you to know. It came with a postcard to mail back. I am a collector so naturally I want to keep it with the book. BUT if you want me to send it in I can for sure do that for you.

To feature Pope County as a viable venue for plein air artists because of its variety of landscape including prairie, lakes, agricultural lands, and interesting historical buildings, 2. To offer children an opportunity to learn and paint plein air in their community, 3. To provide the community with a high quality art show and opportunity to purchase art with Pope County sites as subjects, 4. To build an appreciation of plein air painting by exposing community residents to a high quality arts experience that is personally relevant to them.I, and The Copper Street Brass Quintet, will provide an evaluation of the residency in three ways: 1) in-class responses from the students, 2) exit surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance, and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination. I have worked with The Copper Street Brass Quintet to develop and utilize a feedback survey that we will print (and post online) to measure overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The Copper Street Brass Quintet stays in the classroom and on stage after each performance and invites conversation from students and/or audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage. This is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on The Copper Street Brass Quintet’s impact on their child. In the context of a short-term, two-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 - 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 - band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3.

Make the entire ''dancing lights'' experience multi-generational and family centered.In this first year of the project, we will consider it a success if 25% of visitors (about 3,000 people) listen to at least three stops. We will use the online stop count tools to estimate this. We will also walk through the museum occasionally to observe peoples' interaction with the stops. In the first few months, we will reposition any stop signs which visitors seem not to notice, to increase their visibility. To measure the success of our advertising, our greeters will ask some of the visitors whether they were familiar with the tour stop feature of our museum before arriving. We will ask for feedback from our greeters, to learn how most visitors respond to the introduction to OnCell, and whether we can improve the messaging. Visitors can leave audio comments for us on the OnCell system, which we will monitor to gauge satisfaction and note any need for improvement. Finally, we will have a one question paper exit survey asking how much the OnCell tour stops added to their visit, and a space for written comments, either positive or critical. While we won't be able to collect a survey from each person who used OnCell, we hope to collect surveys from about 10% of those users, approximately 300 per year. It would be very difficult to measure an increase in number of visitors solely due to our having the OnCell program, because of normal year-to-year fluctuations. However, we will note the difference between Fiscal Year 2013 and Fiscal Year 2014 visitors.","1. OnCell's Statistics: This provided the size of the audience given above. There were about 500 total cell phone call and mobile access visits from 270 people. Most were from Minnesota residents. We will have approximately the same size audience annually. 2. Visitor audio feedback: Some visitors provided more information about artifacts, showing that they were engaged. We received positive comments through audio feedback, too. The gist of them is that they enjoyed the experience, valued it, found the pieces concise and pleasant to listen to. 3. Large sign, verbal explanation: The best way to gauge peoples' reaction to the tour stops is when we show them the sign and explain the use of OnCell.

For my own artistic development, this film represents an exciting opportunity to use my skills and the new prosumer digital tools to create a film that is personal, and narrative, one in which I have almost complete control over all aspects of the filming and editing. It will give me the opportunity to gain greater technical skills as a videographer and editor, as well as serve as a springboard for further small budget productions. I hope to use this film as part of a broader discussion about monarch decline and habitat restoration in Minnesota, and to make it available to a variety of cultural institutions who, through their own missions, can advance community involvement through an understanding of the issues it addresses.I plan to use the institutional screenings as my base for evaluation. I will distribute a questionnaire asking for feedback about the film. Questions that will be helpful for me are TECHNICAL 1) Is all the AUDIO clear and intelligible? COMPOSITION 2) Does the film hold together? EDITORIAL 3) Are there places where more or less information would be helpful? Those answers will give me a measure of the films effectiveness and also allow me to make adjustments for the final edit. Ultimately, my goals will be best measured by whether or not the film is accepted for broadcast on the Minnesota Channel on public television. In order to be accepted, the film must meet broadcast quality standards, and be well composed, exceptionally thoughtful, engaging, and of interest to greater Minnesota.

I will measure my goals first by comparing what I know regarding techniques in the use of alcohol inks on Yupo vs. the use of additional surfaces which I learn to utilize via the Art & Soul Retreat. 2. I will measure my goals by being able to incorporate additional art forms into my paintings and assess which are most usable by the frequency with which I use them. 3. A class questionnaire will be utilized at the onset of each workshop I offer in our area to measure the participant's level of experience in art. 4. A class evaluation will be utilized at the close of each workshop I offer in our area to measure the increase in knowledge of art techniques as well as to measure my effectiveness as an instructor that I may grow in my skills to share my knowledge of art and art techniques with others. 5. I will measure my goals by entering juried exhibitions and assessing those in which I am accepted. 6. I will measure my goals by assessing any increase of sales and/or commissioned art.","Most participants came to the workshops with an appreciation of art but very little experience in creating art. In fact, I would estimate approximately 70% felt they were not artists at all but just had found themselves very curious about the medium and how to use it in creating art. That the workshops were advertised to be for the beginner as well as those experienced in creating art encouraged attendees to take part. That nearly 85% voiced and have proven to continue their creating art utilizing alcohol inks is evidence in the feeling of success generated and the true desire to continue creating.",,4540,"Other, local or private",6680,,,0.00,"Mary Jo Wentz",Individual,"Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage",,"To offer two teaching workshops in the region.",2016-05-23,2016-11-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Jo",Wentz,"Mary Jo Wentz",,,MN,,"(760) 808-4272 ",kmwmjw@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Lake Region Arts Council",,"Otter Tail, Douglas",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/legacy-arts-and-cultural-heritage-196,"Eric Abrahamson: Former stage manager at Historic Holmes Theatre, Board Member at Playhouse 412; Mark Ryan: Plains Art Museum Director of Collections and Operations; Kari Kjesbo: former gallery manager and catering business owner; Susan Scarborough: Retired Community Education Director at Alexandria Public Schools; Gregory DeGier: trumpet player for Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra and various ensembles and pit bands; Amy Ann Mursu: Musician, including piano, clarinet, tuba, and violin; Jim Arvidson: Graduate of the Regional Leadership Institute, community service volunteer; Jeannie Pladsen: Retired Payroll Manger at the University of Minnesota-Morris, community leader; Barbara Lent: Former photography studio, textile artist, owner of a quilting retreat center; Andrew Sletten: drummer, actor, organizer of community arts space and performance venue; Siobhan Bremer: Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Minnesota-Morris, regional equity actor, director, dancer; Jamie Beyer: marketing and graphic designer; Carolyn Flieder: fiber artist, former quilt shop owner; Stan Goldade: High School math instructor, photographer, ceramicist, sculptor; Erin Gunderson: Library branch Manager in Breckenridge, musician and artist; Timothy Ray: actor, director, technical director, musician-performer.","Eric Abrahamson: Former stage manager at Historic Holmes Theatre, Board Member at Playhouse 412; Susan Kay: Retired Professor of American Studies, Retreat Coordinator at New York Mills Arts Retreat; Gregory DeGier: trumpet player for Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra and various ensembles and pit bands; Amy Ann Mursu: Musician, including piano, clarinet, tuba, and violin; Jim Arvidson: Graduate of the Regional Leadership Institute, community service volunteer; Jeannie Pladsen: Retired Payroll Manger at the University of Minnesota-Morris, community leader; Barbara Lent: Former photography studio, textile artist, owner of a quilting retreat center; Andrew Sletten: drummer, actor, organizer of community arts space and performance venue; Siobhan Bremer: Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Minnesota-Morris, regional equity actor, director, dancer; Jamie Beyer: marketing and graphic designer; Carolyn Flieder: fiber artist, former quilt shop owner; Stan Goldade: High School math instructor, photographer, ceramicist, sculptor; Erin Gunderson: Library branch Manager in Breckenridge, musician and artist; Carolyn Aarsvold: former Lake Region Arts Council Board member, retired instrumental music teacher.",,2

Both lakes are approximately 40 acres in size and surrounded by watersheds with moderate to low imperviousness. Both lakes are included on the MPCA's 303(d) list as impaired for aquatic recreation due to excessive nutrients. Lake Augusta and Sunfish Lake were included in a watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS) study and total maximum daily load (TMDL) performed from 2012 to 2014. The WRAPS study identified internal loading as the primary source of phosphorus to each lake and recommended in-lake alum treatments to improve water quality in each lake to achieve MPCA water quality standards. The goal of the Lake Augusta and Sunfish Lake alum treatments is to reduce internal phosphorus loading in each lake by at least 80 percent, resulting in phosphorus load reductions of 252 lbs/year in Lake Augusta and 129 lbs/year in Sunfish Lake. These reductions will meet the load reductions identified in the WRAPS and TMDL report and are essentially the only feasible options to achieve MPCA water quality standards in these lakes. The watersheds to these lakes are not densely developed and stormwater best management practices are already present, reducing phosphorus loading to the lakes from external sources. In addition to the alum treatment, the LMRWMO will implement a voluntary rain barrel program, a shoreline buffer survey on Sunfish Lake to identify potential locations for improvements, and targeted communication with residents to encourage buffer enhancement. These efforts will further reduce the phosphorus reaching the lake from external sources. Due to the very limited external load, alum treatment of these lakes is expected to be effective for 20 years or more. The Lake Augusta and Sunfish Lake alum treatment project will be completed in partnership with the Cities of Mendota Heights, Sunfish Lake, and local property owners.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service enhanced 700 acres of wetland and bottomland forest habitat on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge’s (Refuge) Root River Tract in Houston County. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) restored 112.7 acres of bluff prairie in Houston County; 8 acres of deep water habitat in Goose Lake (navigation pool 5 of the Mississippi River) and enhanced 200 acres of secondary channel and backwater lake habitat in North and Sturgeon Lakes (navigation pool 3 of the Mississippi River). ",,"Root River Tract (RRT):  Project planning and design included site elevation surveys, development of hydrologic models and analysis of restoration alternatives.  Recommended features to restore hydrologic connectivity included: removal of existing water control structures, installation of ditch plugs and breaching of existing low level levees and dikes.   A public informational meeting to seek input on a preliminary project plan was held and feedback from that meeting used to refine project alternatives.   A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) which evaluated four alternatives for restoring/enhancing the RRT was completed and released for a 30-day public comment period in September 2015.  A public meeting to discuss the proposed project and draft EA was held in October 2015.  Responses to comments received were provided in the final EA.  A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the preferred alternative was signed by the Regional Director, Region 3 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in January 2015.   Restoring natural topography and drainage patterns required removal of existing dikes/levees; construction of ditch plugs using fill materials excavated from existing dikes/levees; removal of existing water control structures; and filling of an existing fish pond with materials excavated from existing dikes/levees.  Plans and specifications for completing this work were developed and local, State and Federal permits were acquired.  Work was accomplished through a combination of contracts and skilled hired labor workers in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  Heavy equipment (track trucks, backhoes, skid steers, etc.) was used to accomplish the work.  Large rainfall events in the watershed of the Root River created several floods in 2016 which affected project completion.  In September 2016, flooding on the Root River resulted in a levee breach that brought large amounts of floodwater from the Root  into the project area.  While this flooding delayed completion of some of the project features, it created a unique opportunity to observe how the project would function under flood conditions.  As a result of first-hand, on-site observations of flood waters entering and exiting the project site, project features were modified to enhance the overall hydrologic function of the project. In 2017, installation of low water crossings at locations where trials/roads traveling through the project area crossed restored river channels, oxbows and sloughs, finishing ditch plugs, native seeding, forest enhancement (planting of hard mast trees and flood plain species) and final grading of the project was completed.  Wet conditions and high Mississippi and Root River levels delayed completion of final project features in 2017.   The original goal for wetland and forest enhancement was to restore or enhance 700 acres.  That goal was achieved on time and under budget.  Approximately $299,612 was expended on the Root River project.  The cost of this project component was estimated at $450,000.   Bluff Prairie Restoration:  Bluff prairies, also known as “goat prairies” are a unique and rare habitat in southeastern Minnesota.  Goat prairies are found typically on south or west facing slopes.  Many if not most of these prairies are negatively affected by the invasion of tree species, in particular, red cedar trees.  Removal of red cedar trees as well as other trees from these prairies enhances light penetration to the vegetative layer under the trees and invigorates dormant/shaded prairie plants and seeds.  Restoring a natural fire regime through controlled burning on these sites further enhances prairie development.  Selection of prairies for restoration was based on public ownership and/or willingness of private landowners to have worked completed on their property.  Work was accomplished by contract to businesses familiar with goat prairie restoration techniques.  The original goal for bluff prairie restoration under this grant was to restore 70 acres.  The final bluff prairie acreage restored was 112.7 acres on 8 sites.  This project component was completed, on time, on budget ($150,000 spent) and exceeded the project acreage objective. Pool 3 (North and Sturgeon Lakes) – Pool 5 (Goose Lake):  This project component initially involved multiple habitat restoration/enhancement objectives using established large river restoration techniques such as water level management, channel modifications, island building and dredging. A “cost-share partnership agreement” between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Minnesota DNR was needed to fully execute the project, however, the federally funded portion of the project was placed in deferment until the language associated with partnership agreement and future project management could be amended to satisfy legal requirements. Based on these challenges, an amendment to the accomplishment plan for Pool 3 was approved on July 10, 2015 which reduced the dollar amount of leverage expected from the Federal Government and the potential scope of the project. An additional amendment was submitted and approved in March 2016 which added Goose Lake (Pool 5) as a project site and defined that portion of the Pool 3 project to only include a channel modification at the Brewer Lake inlet. Approximately $500,000 Federal dollars were leveraged and spent on planning and development of preliminary project specifications and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the larger project. Products from this planning effort were used to develop final plans and specs and to obtain the necessary permits for the LSOH funded channel modification project.  In 2016, 8 acres of Goose Lake was dredged to a depth of 7 feet to restore fisheries habitat. Backwater habitats are declining as a result of sedimentation. Dredging to restore depth in backwaters benefits many aquatic species by providing habitat suited for overwintering.  Permits were secured and a contract for the channel modification project at Brewer Lake inlet was awarded in April 2017. Placement of a rock channel liner and shoreline protection was performed from barge mounted heavy equipment. Construction was completed in the spring of 2018. Pre-project monitoring of habitat conditions, fish populations and freshwater mussel populations was completed before construction. The project has achieved the desired outcome of reducing Mississippi River flows and sedimentation rates in Brewer Lake, Buffalo Slough and Sturgeon Lake. The physical and biological response expected would improve aquatic habitat conditions for fish and mussels and protection of floodplain forest communities for a variety of bird and mammal species.  ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim,Yager,"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","51 E. 4th Street",Winona,MN,55987,507-494-6219,timothy_yager@fws.gov,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Dakota, Goodhue, Houston","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/lower-mississippi-river-habitat-partnership,,,,

Contact grants@mnhs.org","Metric: Spark interest about Lyle history in the Lyle community Indicator: Number of new research leads and contacts Outcome: Exceeded. Throughout the interview process many community members were contacted and started speaking to each other about Lyle history. The final presentation was well attended with many people staying more than an hour after its conclusion to discuss Lyle history and share photos and stories. Many more people are thinking about and becoming involved in Lyle history than before the project was undertaken. One attendee at the presentation said she talked to people about Lyle history that she's been meaning to talk to for years. Metric: Expand MCHS capabilities and experience to include oral history archive creation, distribution and storage Indicator: MCHS undertakes additional oral history projects in the future Outcome: Achieved. While it is a little early to measure yet, MCHS now has the necessary equipment and future projects can use this project and its materials as a starting point. Already one person has approached MCHS with ideas about an oral history project she'd like to work on. Future projects will build on the lessons learned during this project and will be easier to start. Metric: The interviews will help fill in holes for timeframes not covered in past Lyle history books Indicator: Interviews provide quotable passages and reveal possible new topics for further research Outcome: Achieved. A number of topics were covered that were not previously documented in Lyle history books such as the closing the the Bethel Alliance church, activities of the volunteer fire department and the breakup of the Trinity Lutheran Parish. Metric: The oral history interviews will help the community of Lyle document its history for its 150th anniversary in 2020. Indicator: Use of the interviews by people or organizations performing ativities related to the 150th anniversary of Lyle. Outcome: Achieved. There are many passages and interesting stories in the oral history that will be useful for a planned book for the 150th anniversary of the town of Lyle. Metric: This project will make all the interviews publicly accissible at MCHS in both video and text transcription formats. Copies will be archived according to current standars to ensure long-term availability. Indicator: Number of people requesting access to the oral history interviews Outcome: Achieved. All materials are publicly accessible. It is too early to tell how many people will be using them but their value will grow in the years to come as the oral history documents organizations and churches that will no longer exist in the memories of community members.",,,"Available upon request.

Department of Natural Resources (a)$14262000 the first year and $14603000 the second year are for state parks recreation areas and trails to: (1)Connect people to the outdoors; (2)Acquire land and create opportunities; (3)Maintain existing holdings; and (4)Improve cooperation by coordinating with partners to implement the 25-year long-range parks and trails legacy plan",,,,,,6393750,595000,,7.73,,,"Maintaining Existing Holdings - A Parks and Trails Strategic Objective is a program area representing DNR's commitment to one of the four pillars identified in the 25 year Legacy plan. The Legacy plan calls this Take Care of What We Have, and identifies its purpose to provide safe, high-quality park and trail experiences by regular re-investment in park and trail infrastructure, and natural resource management. The purpose of this program is to call attention to the pillar, but also to centralize and streamline reporting on other related programs within the Maintain Existing Holdings pillar. Thus, this program captures all the information about what are known as direct and necessary administrative costs of managing the seven other programs that make up this pillar, as well as all information on the number of full time equivalent (or FTE) positions supported by the Legacy funds allocated to DNR Parks and Trails under this pillar. Direct and necessary administrative costs include a wide range of activities, such as accounting and managerial expertise; a list of administrative activities has been compiled in Minnesota Management and Budget's Guidance to Agencies on Legacy Fund Expenditure. Other costs included in this program include direct, non-administrative costs of doing the work of Maintaining Existing Holdings that do not fall directly in one of the seven related programs. This includes a range of professional staff or contractor services and materials needed to do the work. FTEs reported here are consistent with the guidelines provided by the Legislative Coordinating Commission. ","Resulting from the 25-year Parks and Trails Legacy Plan, the Minnesota Legislature instructed the DNR Division of Parks and Trails to: (1)Connect people to the outdoors (2)Acquire land and create opportunities (3)Maintain existing holdings; and (4)Improve cooperation by coordinating with partners to implement the 25-year long-range parks and trails legacy plan In addition, the MN Legislature directed all recipients of Legacy funds to report all direct expenses, administration costs, and number of full time equivalents (FTE's) funded by Legacy dollars.

Our goal is to reduce runoff from these sites and improve water quality within the Mayhew Lake and Big Elk Lake watersheds. The Mayhew Lake Nutrient TMDL (phosphorus) implementation plan has identified several sources of phosphorus as well as strategies and priority areas to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lake. Spring time phosphorus loading was identified as the primary area of concern. The Big Elk Lake TMDL places a high priority on upgrading feedlots with runoff problems. The implementation plan for both TMDLs recognizes the need to assess landowner interest and inventory, plan and design phosphorus reduction projects in high priority work areas, known as Tier 1 and Tier 2 zones. With the help of a BWSR Clean Water Legacy grant the Benton SWCD has spent the last three years working on these assessments. This was time well spent as we have identified numerous projects that will help meet both water quality goals and farmer goals. Many of the water quality projects have also been designed and are awaiting additional assistance.

The fee title acquisition partners (MVT and TPL) were unable to complete the major acquisition they pursued together for the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge due to landowner change of mind. The OHF grant funds spent were leveraged almost 1:1 with $800,350 in other, mostly non-state funds. ",,"Metro Big Rivers partners’ Phase 4 accomplishments, process and methods are described below. Additional information, photos and site maps are provided in attachments about each project accomplished. Friends of Mississippi River (FMR) enhanced forest and prairie habitat on 54 acres in Dakota and Washington Counties. These sites are situated within the Mississippi River corridor and provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife. Over 320 species of birds use the corridor for spring and fall migration, and need stopover sites like these two natural areas for refueling. In addition, with populations of pollinator species declining, there is need to  increase the quality and quantity of pollinator-friendly habitat, even with small habitat patches, to prevent further declines. These sites are also near or adjacent to other protected natural areas, adding important benefits of habitat linkages for wildlife. FMR’s work included $31,400 in leverage funds and in-kind support from local partners and high school students to complete the following activities: ·       Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park - FMR enhanced 35 acres of oak forest, 3 acres of remnant bluff prairie, and 1 acre of prairie at this natural area in Cottage Grove. Activities included forestry mowing and hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation, foliar treatments for re-sprouting stems, broadcasting native seed and conducting prescribed burns.  ·       Vermillion Linear Park - FMR enhanced 6 acres of riparian forest and 9 acres of prairie at this natural area on the Vermillion River in Hastings. Activities included hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation across the entire project area, foliar treatments for re-sprouting woody stems and herbaceous invasives, broadcasting native seed, and planting native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and sedges. Additional prairie-specific activities included grassland prep (sprays, burn, tilling, and harrowing), native seeding, mowing, spot treatments and a prescribed burn.  Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 76 acres total in Anoka and Ramsey Counties (66 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $131,950 helped GRG restore 32 acres of prairie, enhance another 5 acres prairie and enhance 39 acres forest, as follows:    ·       Martins Meadows - GRG enhanced 39 acres of forest habitat on this City of Andover Open Space site situated  on the Rum River (29 acres were proposed).  Activities included removal of woody invasives (common buckthorn, honeysuckle, amur maple), tree thinning, woody encroachment removal, mowing, seeding and planting.  The improved habitat will benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, blanding’s turtle and gopher snake, all of which have documented occurrences just up and down stream of the site. ·       Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary (Trillium Nature Preserve) - This former rail yard on St Paul’s east side was transformed through a major restoration effort into a new naturalized area that reflects its original state.  Over the course of the project, 32 acres were restored to prairie and an additional 5 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasives removal.  Activities included mowing, herbicide application, tree thinning, tree planting and prairie seeding. The restoration of this site presented unique challenges because removal of contaminated soil required use of heavy equipment, thereby compacting the soils and requiring additional seeding preparation work to establish vegetation. The nature sanctuary is a refuge for wildlife in an otherwise urban complex.  It also offers residents who are otherwise underserved in this part of St Paul access to natural space and wildlife. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its goals by closing on two perpetual conservation easements within the St. Croix River corridor in Washington County. In total, 131 acres of high-quality habitat were protected by permanent easement under MBR 4, surpassing the 120-acre goal. MLT leveraged $637,000 in donated value across both easement acquisitions, a 2:1 ratio relative to acquisition funding provided by the OHF grant. The two properties protected under permanent conservation easements are:   ·       Old Mill Stream (Kingston) -- This 44-acre easement protects high-quality wetlands, forest and grasslands along 5,920 feet of Old Mill Stream, a state-designated trout stream in Washington County with a viable population of brook trout. The easement is abutted by William O’Brien State Park on three sides. Approximately 22 acres of the property are characterized as a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance by the DNR due to the presence of rare species and moderate quality natural communities, which provides key habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, northern long-eared bat and least weasel.  This property is located within the Audubon Society’s St. Croix Bluffs Important Bird Area (IBA), which functions as a vital migratory corridor. In particular, it is important nesting grounds for great blue heron and bald eagle. ·       St. Croix River (Docksteader Trust) -- This 87-acre easement protects high-quality mesic hardwood forest along the bluffs of the St. Croix River Valley in Washington County.  The protected property is directly adjacent to a scenic easement held by the National Park Service, which is part of a connected corridor of scenic easements extending 11 miles along the St. Croix River north of Stillwater.  The protected property lies within an Important Bird Area (IBA) of global importance identified by the Audubon Society, and provides important habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).   Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) & Trust for Public Land (TPL): MVT and TPL were unable to acquire a large, high-priority property in Hennepin County for the Upgrala Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, negotiations that were moving forward ended when a member of the landowner group (a hunting club) changed their mind about selling. Club rules required two-thirds of shareholders to agree to the sale and did not allow the property to be divided. Consequently, MVT and TPL did not expend funds from this appropriation.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Loon,"MN Valley Trust (Metro Big Rivers)","3815 East American Boulevard ",Bloomington,MN,55425,"(612) 801-1935",DebLoon@comcast.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metro-big-rivers-phase-4,,,,

The acquisitions and subsequent habitat restoration and enhancement work increased breeding and migratory habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, neo-tropical migrants, and non-migratory resident species, protected the diversity of native ecosystems, and improved connectivity and resilience.","A total of 1,078 acres were affected: 88 Restored, 167 in Fee Title, 318 in Easements, 505 in Enhance.",1140900,"City of St. Paul, National Wild Turkey Federation, Great River Greening, Scott County, Friends of Mississippi River, Landowner donation, Minnesota Valley Trust, Private and Private Foundation Grant",1976700,10000,,1.38,"MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge Trust Inc; Friends of the Mississippi River, Great River Greening, MN Land Trust, Trust for Public Land","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Metro Big Rivers (MBR) Partnership successfully completed its work under the Phase 6 / ML2015 OHF appropriation, protecting 485 acres across 5 projects (198% of proposed) and restoring and enhancing a total of 1,055 acres (185% of proposed). The Partnership expended 99% of the OHF funds granted awarded to it and leveraged the grant by 57% with nearly $1,141,000 in other funds. ","Brief summaries of the work completed under this Metro Big Rivers Phase 6 grant are provided below. More in-depth information of projects completed is provided in project summary attachments to this final report. Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) completed its work under this grant, enhancing 365 acres within two DNR Scientific & Natural Area (SNA) units in the Twin Cities Metro area. Working with SNA staff, FMR enhanced 175 acres of forest and 40 acres of bluffland prairie at Pine Bend Bluffs SNA. At the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA, FMR enhanced 70 acres of forest and 80 acres of prairie. Forest acres were enhanced through invasive woody removal, including by both forestry mowing and cut-and-paint removal, with two years of follow-up treatments. Prairie acres including 87 acres of native remnant prairie were enhanced through a combination of activities including herbaceous and woody species removal, seeding, and prescribed burns. Volunteers participated in the enhancement through yearly invasive removal and seed collection events. Great River Greening (GRG) completed its work under this grant, restoring and enhancing 95 acres of prairie and 110 acres of forest. Working with Scott County staff at Doyle-Kennefick Regional Park, GRG restored 88 acres of prairie from former agricultural land and enhanced 7 acres of oak savanna. At Victoria Park and Crosby Farm Regional Park, GRG worked with the City of St Paul to enhance 110 acres through prairie planting, tree planting, invasive species removal and shelter pocket clearing and planting. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) completed 3 conservation easements, protecting 318 acres of high quality habitat and 2.35 miles of shoreland. These included: 1) Hunter Lake (Jannusch) protected 201 acres of hardwood forest, oak savanna, pothole wetlands, extensive lake shoreline, and a glacial esker in Sherburne County. The landowner generously donated the entire value of the conservation easement, which appraised at over $380,000. 2) Medvecky Woods (DeCorsey) protected 40 acres of hardwood forest and wetlands in a Minnesota Biological Survey-designated site of Outstanding Biodiversity Significance in Isanti County. The property is contiguous with another MLT easement and nearby the 5,700-acre Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. 3) Tennyson Lake (Barrett 2) protected 77 acres of habitat on Tennyson Lake in Isanti County, a favorite stopover of trumpeter swans and migratory bird species. The easement adds on to 80 acres of existing protected property directly to the north at the inflow of the lake. Funds remaining after completing protection work allowed MLT to work with the Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to complete an oak savanna restoration on the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Carver County. This spectacular project is part of a large complex of public lands with a rich multitude of habitats overlooking the Minnesota River Valley. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed its work under this grant as of September 2018 when it protected through fee title acquisition 51 acres of a high-priority 77-acre parcel for the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The balance of the site was acquired with half of the MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant and $794,462 in other, private funds. After acquisition, MVT used the balance of its MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant to complete the initial habitat restoration over 40 acres, which included converting the building site and crop field to prairie and wetland. Simultaneously, the MN Land Trust conducted initial restoration of 23 acres of degraded oak savanna on the site with the balance of its MBR 6 / ML 2015. Follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance the restored 77 acres will be completed by MVT and USFWS under the MBR 9 / ML2019 grant. The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 116 acres of land which was added to the existing Grass Lake Wildlife Management Area in Wright County. The land contains wetlands, rolling hills and forested areas, and approximately 37 acres of agricultural land that were restored to tallgrass prairie through this grant. Acquisition was the first step in the restoration of a drained wetland, helping to improve water quality and provide aquatic habitat, while also protecting a portion of Grass Lake, an identified shallow lake. Additionally, the acquisition connected separate WMA parcels and increased the size of the existing WMA by 25 percent to over 450 acres. Within a 45-minute drive of over half the State's population, Grass Lake WMA provides numerous outdoor recreation and wildlife observation opportunities to the general public in the Metro Area.

Leveraging other funding and efficiently contracting projects allowed us to add habitat projects and adjust to changing conditions.  ",,"Using FY2014 funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund (“OHF”), Minnesota Trout Unlimited (MNTU) completed sixteen projects enhancing fish habitat in and along the following public waters (in these counties): 1. Spruce Creek (Cook); 2. Split Rock River (Lake); 3. Miller Creek (St. Louis); 4. Coffee Creek (St. Louis); 5. Garvin Brook (Winona); 6. Trout Brook (Dakota); 7. Blackhoof River (Carlton); 8.

Trout Run Creek (Winona). These projects were completed 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 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.  Methods were tailored 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) increase or maintain adult trout abundance; (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (c) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; and (h) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods:  Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel, help cool the water, and provide a source of future cover logs. 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 stream side 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 or hardwoods 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 or tree trunks 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 grasses and forbes are planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  Unusual conditions in 2019 caused severe flooding in southeast MN which demonstrated that, due to the unique soils in southeast valley floors, more indigenous rock was needed on the toes of the stream banks on some projects.  These changes were made where needed, while staying within original budget.     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.   ",2013-07-01,2020-03-03,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,MN,55317,"(612) 670-1629",jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Dakota, Fillmore, Lake, Olmsted, St. Louis, Winona","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-trout-unlimited-coldwater-fish-habitat-enhancement-restoration,,,,

Five hundred and thirty three acres of enhanced wildlife and water quality buffers were protected with OHF dollars and a total of 1,208 acres were protected from all sources of funding.   ",,"The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council provided a recommendation to fund the first two phases of RIM Buffers, which secured 2932 acres of permanently established buffers that will continue to provide critical water quality improvements and improved nesting habitat. The complettion of Phase III brings the total of permanently protected buffers for wildlife and water quality to 3465 acres. This partnership program permanently added grassland habitat and reduced fragmentation by combining the efforts of the Outdoor Heritage Fund, Clean Water Fund, and bonding to secure buffers adjacent to public waters. Building upon the 100-foot RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund, we added an additional buffer width (up to NRCS 393 standard for CRP buffers) to make clean water buffers more attractive and productive for wildlife. This program contributed toward the development of new habitat complexes and enhancement of existing habitats by expanding the size of narrow corridors and connecting them to large, permanently protected grasslands, wetlands, and shallow lakes. Furthermore, these wildlife buffers were targeted for landscapes with existing permanently protected habitat to accelerate progress toward achieving minimum thresholds of grass habitat required by waterfowl and other Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Many Species of Greatest Conservation Need benefit from large habitat patches and some require a minimum threshold of grassland habitat within a landscape.  Buffers are commonly viewed as simply a water quality practice, but buffers have notable positive impacts on wildlife due their unique upland and riverine habitat interaction. Not only are upland grasslands protected or restored, but detrimental impacts to stream-reliant biota is reduced. Many species of amphibians, such as southern MN's Northern Cricket Frog (endangered) rely on aquatic habitat during the breeding season and then spend most of their lives in upland habitat.  A scoring mechanism was employed to fund high quality wildlife buffer enhancements and target these funds. Buffers for wildlife under this program were prioritized based upon their ability to enhance public land habitats (e.g., WPA’s or WMA’s), protect expiring CRP lands, add key nesting cover to wetland/upland complexes, provide maximum water quality benefits, and enhance shallow lakes.  Criteria used to evaluate and prioritize buffers funded under this program include:  does buffer build upon a Clean Water Fund Buffer, proximity to other permanently protected habitat, buffers within a designated shallow lake watershed, proximity to lands open to public hunting, plant diversity, overall size, and type of water resource being buffered.  An open RIM Buffers application process for landowners was used.  This effort builds upon the momentum established for RIM Buffer enrollments supported by the Outdoor Heritage Fund and Clean Water Fund in the previous two funding cycles.   RIM Buffers Program delivery was supported by Minnesota's Farm Bill Assistance Partnership which includes Minnesota BWSR, USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota DNR, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Pheasants Forever, and numerous local partners.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tabor,Hoek,"BWSR & Pheasants Forever","1400 E.

In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, US Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Minnesota, and other conservation organizations, the Minnesota Zoo plays a significant role in these preservation efforts by addressing pressing wildlife conservation issues important to our State. Legacy funds allow the Minnesota Zoo to expand its field conservation and educational programs with a focus on animals and habitats closely aligned with Minnesota’s cultural identity. Bison Reintroduction Program Bison are among the most iconic animals associated with the central plains. Where millions once roamed vast portions of Minnesota, few bison genetically free of cattle genes remain today. Having exhibited descendants of these plains bison for years, the Minnesota Zoo is now cooperatively breeding and managing a bison herd with MN DNR for reintroduction into state parks. Prairie Butterfly Field Conservation In the 1800’s, prairie covered 18 million acres of Minnesota, or about a third of the state. Prairies and their native wildlife are an important part of Minnesota’s cultural heritage, but today, only about 1% of Minnesota’s native prairie remains. With the loss of native habitat, many of the wildlife species in Minnesota that depend on prairie have declined or even disappeared. Initiated with Legacy funding and now also supported by the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Zoo’s Prairie Butterfly Conservation Program aims to prevent the extinction of a number of prairie butterflies, understand the reasons for their declines, and ensure that populations are sustained long-term. In partnership with other state agencies and organizations, the Minnesota Zoo has established a captive conservation breeding program at the Zoo addressing some of Minnesota’s most threatened butterfly species, including the Dakota skipper and Poweshiek skipperling. In conjunction with its breeding program, the Zoo is supporting field work to monitor prairie butterfly populations and research on the threats that imperiled butterflies and other species may face in Minnesota’s prairies. Moose Conservation Field Research Moose, one of Minnesota’s most iconic wildlife species, are declining in Minnesota. In less than 20 years, moose in northwestern Minnesota declined from over 4,000 to fewer than 100. With high levels of adult and calf mortality, the northeastern Minnesota moose population, numbering 4,350 is now declining. There were approximately twice as many moose in northeastern Minnesota ten years ago as there are today. Working with the University of Minnesota and other researchers, the Minnesota Zoo has been conducting research on moose responses to warm temperatures, moose-wolf interactions, and parasite transmission between deer and moose that will inform moose management in the state and hopefully slow or prevent a decline in Minnesota moose population. Zoo Education Programs The Minnesota Zoo’s education department has expanded programs to enhance participants’ knowledge and appreciation of Minnesota’s natural heritage. These programs and experiences are designed to “connect” participants to the natural world, fostering a lifelong conservation ethic for the wild life and wild places of our State.

Session, Ch.2, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(c )","$1,890,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with Minnesota Trout Unlimited to restore and enhance habitat for trout and other species in and along coldwater rivers and streams in Minnesota. A list of proposed restorations and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"76 Forest acres and 208 Habitat acres (for a total of 284 acres) Enhanced. ",,1433900,"SWCD, DNR ",1890000,,,0.75,"MN Trout Unlimited","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Minnesota Trout Unlimited volunteers, chapters and partners will enhance habitat for fish, game and wildlife in and along numerous coldwater streams on existing Aquatic Management Areas and other public lands around the state, while leveraging approximately $3 million for this. ",,"We enhanced habitat on fourteen different streams. The scope of work varied to match the site conditions, watershed characteristics, and address the specific limiting factors. Severely degraded or unstable stream sections received comprehensive, large-scale habitat enhancements to restore stream function and in-stream trout habitat. These included intensive projects on Amity Creek and Chester Creek in Duluth, the Stewart River near Two Harbors, the Vermillion River in southern Dakota County, and the Root River in Preston. These projects required extensive grading and modification of stream channel patterns to create habitat-filled, stable channels and restored floodplains. The increased pool habitat created is particularly important for northern projects, where lack of pools was a key limiting factor for native trout populations. Streams in northeast Minnesota need healthy riparian forests to provide shade and improve summer base flows. North Shore streams lack significant groundwater flows and instead are kept cold by the shade provided by trees along their banks. Unfortunately, outbreaks of two tree pests (spruce bud worm and emerald ash borer) are decimating riparian forests near Duluth and the North Shore. To address this we cleared numerous gaps of dead or dying trees along the Stewart River and French River. These areas were then planted with a mixture of long-lived tree species, both coniferous and deciduous. The trees are on their way to providing critical shade and other habitat benefits. We also worked with Lake County to enhance a 76-acre parcel of forest which straddles the upper Stewart River, converting it from brushland to a forest of long-lived trees dominated by pines. Changing the stand’s trajectory in this way is improving the long-term ability of the forest to store water and slowly release cool base flow to sustain the important trout and steelhead fisheries. In the sandy central part of Minnesota, we used the conservation corps to thin alder thickets and strategically place brush bundles in overly wide sections of Kabekona Creek. These are capturing sand and narrowing and deepening the stream channel. In southeast Minnesota, we completed projects on Camp Creek, Daley Creek, Duschee Creek, Little Pickwick Creek, Trout Run Creek, and West and East Indian Creeks. These project sites had very cold water temperatures and decent in-stream habitat but suffered from the negative effects of dense corridors of buckthorn, boxelder and other invasives. Here significant habitat gains were realized by removing these invasive trees and shrubs, which do a poor job holding streambanks. We removed invasive trees and shrubs and seeded corridors with grasses and forbes. This allowed native grasses and forbs, which better secure soils, to become reestablished and let beneficial sunlight reach the stream beds and boost stream productivity. Similarly, near Farmington, MN TU volunteers spent numerous Saturday mornings to cutting buckthorn from 20 acres along the Vermillion River and set the table for prairie plantings following the in-stream habitat work completed in 2019. By work with partners and tailoring the habitat enhancement methods to each project site we have maximized long term benefits to the trout populations at the lowest possible costs.

The total acreage from both CWF and OHF sources for recorded easements is 2,105.0 acres. Only the OHF acres are being reported in this final report to be consistent with the approved accomplishment plan. ","The sites enrolled were generally farmed sites adjacent to a sensitive water feature or drained and farmed floodplain wetlands and associated upland habitat. Expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts were also enrolled. These sites originally offered limited ecological benefits. Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. Factors considered during site selection included: linear corridor connectivity, length and width of the filter strip, adjacency to a public water, size of the site offered for enrollment, additional wildlife benefits, highly erodible land or partially highly erodible land, threatened and endangered species, and addressing water quality concerns. MN Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a voluntary, federal-state funded natural resource conservation program that uses a science based approach to target environmentally sensitive land in 54 Counties in southern and western Minnesota. This is accomplished through permanent protection by establishing conservation practices via payments to farmers and agricultural landowners. Landowners enrolled in the federally-funded CRP for 14-15 years; CRP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). It uses agricultural land for conservation benefits, rather than farming or ranching; The same land was also enrolled into a state-funded perpetual conservation easement through the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Private ownership continues and the land is permanently restored and enhanced for conservation benefits. The RIM payment rates were consistent throughout most (2018 - 2022) of this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate. The largest easement funded in this project was a floodplain easement in Nobles county (53-01-19-01). The total easement was 209.2 acres (104.6 acres funded with this project) and protects portions of both sides of Kanaranzi Creek and its floodplain areas. This easement is adjacent to an 80.9 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2016 RIM Buffers Phase VI and a 60.1 acre MN CREP easement funded with ML2017 RIM Buffers Phase VII. These three easements total 350.2 acres of protection along Kanaranzi Creek.

These accomplishments exceed the appropriation goal by 209%. Utilizing both fee-title acquisition and conservation easements, the partnership protected 10 projects, totaling over 11 miles of shoreline along the Mississippi River, its tributaries and nearby lakes. This has reversed habitat loss, improved watershed function, and increased access to public lands for quality hunting and fishing opportunities. ",,"The ML2015 Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership (The Trust for Public Land, Minnesota Land Trust, and the MN DNR) permanently protected 1,923 acres (209% of our goal) of sensitive shoreline and wildlife habitat in the Mississippi Headwaters area. These activities occurred in Aitkin, Beltrami, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, and Wadena County. They resulted in three new units of public land (WMA/AMA), two additions to existing public lands (AMAs), and five conservation easements. As background, the Mississippi River is one of the world’s greatest river systems in terms of size, habitat diversity, biological productivity, and sources of drinking water. It is the fourth longest river in the world with over 18 million people depending on this watershed for drinking water supply. The critical Headwaters Region, roughly the first 400 miles of the main stem and associated watersheds, is home to some of our state’s most outstanding freshwater ecological resources. It provides outstanding habitat for fish and wildlife and is a major route for migratory waterfowl. It is also an unparalleled recreational resource for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, boating and hiking. The idea to form this partnership around habitat protection and restoration in the area grew out of a series of habitat conservation successes and related partnership work in the Headwaters area in the early 2010s: LaSalle Lake, Mississippi River Northwoods, numerous forest legacy projects; shoreland easements initiatives; aquatic management areas additions; and more. For the ML15 appropriation, it consists of three partner organizations - The Trust for Public Land, Minnesota Land Trust, and the Minnesota DNR. This partnership sought to protect sensitive shoreline and habitat resources in the Headwaters area from fragmentation in order to ensure these recreational and natural resource benefits continue into the future. We focused our efforts on the mainstem of the Mississippi River; key tributaries; critical lakesheds; specific natural resource communities; habitat lands with a proven link to water quality; and, recreational access. We exceeded our intentions, and the habitat protected furthered the goals and strategies outlined in numerous state/area resource management plans, including Aquatic Management Area Acquisition Plan; Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare; and, Outdoor Heritage Fund: A 25 Year Framework.  The specific successes of each of the three partners is outlined below: The Trust for Public Land: In January 2016, The Trust for Public Land acquired and conveyed 705 acres of mixed pine and hardwood forest with over three miles of river frontage on the Crow Wing River, a major tributary to the Mississippi River, to the MN DNR as the new Crow Wing River Corridor Wildlife Management Area (WMA). This protected property creates outstanding public recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife observation and canoeing, as well as significant water quality benefits. This highly developable land was previously owned by the Potlatch Corporation and its protection is responsible for the currently occurring jack pine woodland restoration. Minnesota Land Trust: Over the course of this appropriation, the Land Trust protected 4 priority properties totaling 964 acres and 34,207 feet (~6.5 miles) of shoreline. Acres protected exceeded that proposed for the grant by 301%. In addition, projects provided $381,000 in leverage through landowner donation of easement value. Specifically, the following properties were protected: The Black Lake (Bakker) project in Beltrami County permanently protected in easement 6,568 feet (1.24 miles) of shoreline and 391 acres of mixed coniferous and deciduous forest, wetland, and other habitat.  The owner donated the value of the conservation easement for this project. Two conservation easements in Crow Wing County – Island Lake (Flemmer) and Island Lake (Flemmer Trust) – were protected, permanently protecting in easement 25,287 feet (4.8 miles) of shoreline and 514 acres of outstanding quality medic hardwood forest, diverse wetlands, and shoreline habitat along Mud Lake, Island Lake, Owl Pond and Mud Brook.  The 132-acre Ann Lake (Killeen) property in Itasca County was protected with funds drawn in part through both the Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership, and the Land Trust’s Critical Shoreland Protection – Phase 3 program grants. The Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Partnership grant funded the protection of 59 acres of high-quality northern mesic forest and northern rich tamarack swamp, in addition to 2,333 feet of shoreline on Ann and Link lakes. Ann Lake is a state-designated wild rice lake. The property abuts George Washington State Forest on two sides. Minnesota DNR: The Minnesota DNR protected 4 properties through fee-title acquisition and 1 through a conservation easement. Specifically, the following properties were protected: The newly created Greenwood Lake Aquatic Management Area (AMA) is 86 acres with over 3,700 shoreline feet on Greenwood Lake in Crow Wing County. The 6-acre Pickerel Lake AMA with over 2,275 feet of shoreline protected in Hubbard County. The Hill Lake AMA is 31 acres with over 2,000 shoreline feet on Hill Lake in Aitkin County. The 11-acre Preece Point AMA with over 1,100 shoreline feet on Marquette Lake in Beltrami County. The Cuyuna Scout Camp AMA conservation easement added 118 acres of protection to the existing Aquatic Management Area (AMA) in Crow Wing County.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The project goals of this organization include engaging young children and their families in strengthening their cultural wellness through language acquisition and revitalization of cultural parenting/rearing practices while also preparing the family to be good advocates for their whole child’s needs. One objective is to establish a child care center licensed to offer services so that outreach and enrollment of 12-15 children and their families can begin.

Through this process, the District was able to eliminate the targeting of BMPs in two-thirds of the watershed which was not found to be a phosphorus problem, and focused the targeting of BMPs at specific locations within the remaining one-third of the watershed known to be a phosphorus problem. In addition, the District is implementing the three proposed wetland rehabilitations systematically in order from upstream to downstream and then from less intensive to more intensive treatment. Three phases of winter wetland rehabilitation implementation are proposed, followed by spring and summer monitoring to determine the effectiveness of each implementation phase and whether proceeding to the next phase of implementation is necessary to achieve the phosphorus reduction goal.

A list of proposed land restoration and enhancements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.

",,"The Minnesota Moose 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.  Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species.  In some places this happens through natural or human disturbance.  Natural disturbances like wildfires provide 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 MN 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 Minnesota Moose Habitat Collaborative has planted close to 3 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.  The collaborative accomplished this “release” 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 quickly 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 is not an acre that gets 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 are shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose.  Partners decided who will 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 play out in completing the work is 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. Field sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M's Natural Resources Research Institute, the Fond Du Lac Band, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated through this project.

The County ranks 10th and 13th in the State for corn and bean production, making much of the land vulnerable to erosion due to the planting of row crop. As a result, streams and ditches in the county see high sediment loads. Unless conservation practices that include erosion control and buffers along the county's surface waters are implemented, it is likely that soil loss through water erosion will increase. By using models to target high risk erosion lands, the Mower Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has determined that between 49,000 and 62,000 acres in the county have the potential of eroding greater than the tolerable level. Other areas have been identified with existing practices in need of repair or a complete overhaul. This project will give the SWCD an opportunity to use their computer models and technology to prioritize areas and make a real difference by doing compliance checks and working with producers in those vulnerable areas.

Elm Creek flows into the Blue Earth River, which flows into the Minnesota River. Elm Creek is currently listed as impaired for fish bioassessments, turbidity, and fecal coliform. The four projects will use site specific techniques and state of the art channel design. These projects include the addition of log and rock vanes as well as tree revetments and willow cuttings when needed. Instead of using rock riprap, this project will only place a minimal amount of rock at the toe of the slope for stability. The vanes reduce the velocity and energy during peak flows and redirect the current toward the center of the channel, which in turn reduces flooding, streambank erosion, and helps reduce phosphorus carrying sediment. One of the projects will redirect a small area from its current channel, which is straight and erosive, to a lengthier, meandering channel.

Field staff helped strategically target conservation for 68 project ideas that will yield water quality and other ecosystem benefits and provided technical assistance on funding design or implementation for 84 projects. The result is water quality projects selected sited and designed for long-term sustainability. For example DNR consulted with several local governments about a natural-channel approach to stream channel stabilization which lasts longer and enhances habitat more than traditional armoring of stream banks. Field staff also worked with 44 communities or groups to build understanding of watersheds and enhance capacity to address water quality challenges through presentations and workshops attended by over 1 120 people. Foresters worked with landowners and SWCDs to write 92 forest stewardship plans covering 10 141 acres in targeted watersheds – a dramatic increase in the number of plans in these watersheds which drain to sensitive lakes home to tullibee an important prey fish that requires cold clean water to survive. Forest stewardship plans increase landowners’ eligibility for land protection programs and improve forest health which is integral to protecting high quality lakes. Staff helped local governments identify priority areas for targeting actions to protect and improve water quality using a framework that includes Zonation a value-based model; surveys of hundreds of people to determine how much they value specific conservation features; and a peer-review mapping exercise to synthesize personal knowledge about water quality risks and vulnerabilities in specific locations. Priority area maps were produced for the Chippewa River Mississippi River-St. Cloud and Yellow Medicine River watersheds.

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan.",,"Protect in Fee 396 acres of habitat",,205200,"Private Source and Pheasants Forever",1155700,,,.02,"Pheasants Forever","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This program acquired 1 parcel for a total of 396 acres which fell short of our total acre goal of 410 acres by 14 acres. The Gun Lake parcel purchased in this appropriation illustrates how we are working together to protect only strategic habitat critical to improving sharp-tailed grouse populations.  All acquired acres are within the northern forest region.  We have a balance of $24,300 that will be returned to the Fund.","   Until the 1880s, most of Minnesota was inhabited by sharp-tailed grouse where suitable open and brushland habitat, such as prairies, savannas, sedge meadows and open bogs, occurred.  This indigenous grouse was once one of Minnesota’s most abundant game birds, with over 100,000 harvested annually in the 1940’s.  Loss, degradation and fragmentation of open and brushland habitat within Minnesota due to natural succession and conversion to other land uses (cropland and tree plantations) has lead to a long term decline in this unique grouse’s population (estimated harvest of 10,000 in 2009), causing its listing as a species in greatest conservation need.  Today its remaining range in northern Minnesota, which is less than one-third of its historic range, is in jeopardy of additional fragmentation and degradation.         In east central Minnesota, preliminary research results have shown that genetic diversity of the sharp-tailed grouse population may be declining due to increasing isolation of subpopulations.  In nearby Wisconsin, genetic diversity (allelic diversity and heterozygosity) has declined so greatly that Wisconsin DNR has translocated sharp-tailed grouse to create a genetic infusion to increase the likelihood that populations will persist.  Increasing the amount of protected brushland habitat in northeastern Minnesota will be critical to the sustainability of the local sharp-tailed grouse population and gene exchange between Minnesota and Wisconsin populations.           Specific habitat that will be affected and how actions will directly restore, enhance, and/or protect them:    Specific habitats to be affected will include up to 1,732 acres of openland, brushland, and forest habitat (879 acres wetland and 844 acres upland - hayland, pasture and forest).  Acquisition of the habitats and their transfer to MDNR for management under the state WMA will protect them.  Natural habitats will include wet meadow, sedge meadow, shrub wetland, bog, grassland, and aspen and northern hardwoods forest.  They will be enhanced with prescribed burning, mowing, shearing, timber harvest, and possibly grazing, biomass harvest and occasional haying to maintain open and brushland landscape.  Other land includes hay, pasture and crop land that will be restored to open and brushland habitat through establishment of native vegetation, prescribed burning and natural succession.     Multiple benefits:    Multiple benefits of the above protection, enhancement and restoration actions will include increased plant and animal diversity, carbon sequestration, water retention and filtration, opportunities for biomass harvest, access to public lands for recreation, increases eco-tourism opportunities, economic benefits, and secure habitat for sharp-tailed grouse and other open and brushland species in greatest conservation need.     Wildlife species that will benefit:    In addition to sharp-tailed grouse, several other species that use or depend upon open and brushland habitats are also in decline, listed as species in greatest conservation need, and will benefit from this project, including bobolinks, loggerhead shrikes, short-eared owls, yellow rails, eastern meadowlarks, American bittern, northern harrier, golden-winged warblers, Henslow’s sparrow, Le Conte’s sparrow, Nelson’s sharp-tailed sparrow, and American woodcock.  Six of these species are state listed as endangered, threatened or special concern.     Game species that will benefit include white-tailed deer, waterfowl (mallards, blue-winged teal, Canada geese, and more species during migration), wild turkey, American woodcock, common snipe, ruffed grouse, cottontail rabbit, snowshoe hare, fox, raccoon, and bobcat.  Many nongame species such as the Eastern bluebird, American kestrel, brown thrasher, gray catbird, common yellowthroat, sora rail, sedge wren, and spring peeper will benefit, as well as the sandhill crane which is expanding its range.             Urgency and opportunity:     If not acquired while the opportunities exist (i.e., willing sellers and funding opportunities), the chance to protect these priority tracts permanently from land practices incompatible as open and brushland wildlife habitat, and from fragmentation, parcelization and development may be lost.  Incompatible land uses, such as building sites, tree plantings, and uncontrolled natural succession, on a tract not only negatively impacts the tract directly, but also surrounding habitat by fragmenting the open character of the land and impacting area-sensitive wildlife species, such as sharp-tailed grouse that  are adapted to large open vistas.       How priorities were set / Parcel selection and scoring process:   For consideration of protection and enhancement efforts by the partnership, open and brushland tracts must be located within or at the edge of an ECS landtype association identified as a priority open landscape through DNR’s SFRMP landscape planning process.  Further criteria to prioritize which tracts are most critical include a ranking system based upon county location, distance to active sharp-tailed grouse lek, tract size, and distance to protected brushland.  A nearly-completed sharp-tailed grouse habitat use model (attached) will soon be ready for targeting brushland habitat for protection, restoration and enhancement efforts.      Science-based strategic planning and evaluation:    This proposal is based on science-based strategic planning and evaluation.   Biological planning, conservation design, delivery, monitoring and research, and adjustments in strategies as needed are used to maintain an adaptive approach.     Sharp-tailed grouse leks (dancing grounds) are the essential hubs of subpopulations. Nesting and brooding rearing occur in suitable habitat within approximately a two-mile radius of leks.  All but one of the parcels proposed for protection have active leks either located on them or within ¾ mile away.     All tracts will be critical to sustaining nesting and brood rearing habitat for subpopulations of sharp-tailed grouse.  Research by Stanley Temple in Wisconsin suggests that suitable habitat patches of 4000 ha (roughly 10,000 acres, 15½ sq. miles, or a 2.2 mile radius circle) are needed for a sharp-tailed grouse population to survive.  Opportunities to protect and connect suitable patches of this size are dwindling due to development, parcelization and other landscape change pressures.         A pilot study in Aitkin County was conducted in spring/summer 2009 as part of a planned long term study to examine habitat selection, nest success and survival of sharp-tailed grouse.  Data from this study and the long term study to begin spring 2013 will provide addition information to improve and keep management adaptive.     Annual spring surveys of sharp-tailed grouse leks allow for monitoring of local populations and the effect that habitat protection and enhancement and other land management activities have on them.          Level of stakeholder opposition and involvement:   No stakeholder opposition to proposed acquisitions has been encountered.  Proposals to protect land and manage them as public conservation lands are locally-driven by conservation groups, hunters, conservation agency staff, and willing sellers due to the multiple benefits such land protection and management can provide.  Local government has been or will be contacted and their support sought.","Working in close collaboration with partners, Pheasants Forever acquired 396 acres of strategic habitat that builds onto existing protected lands and/or develops corridors for wildlife. All land acquired has been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Program and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. We have worked together with federal, state and local partners when acquiring both parcels which will now be celebrated as new WMAs. These new WMAs not only provides access and recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans, but helps address a strong need to provide more secure nesting and brood rearing habitat for sharp-tailed grouse near existing leks. The offer to the landowner was based on fair market values and appraisals. The acquired parcel helps address a backlog of willing sellers which is now helping slow the loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat in Minnesota. Parcels were identified jointly with the MN DNR, ranked, and prioritized on habitat goals and feasibility. Pheasants Forever's methods are formed around the principle of accelerating the Wildlife Production Area program in MN by targeting only the best available habitat with willing sellers. We utilize local partner expertise to focus on building a system of interconnected wildlife complexes that create habitat mosaics. We also utilize the latest geospatial layers to help determine factors such as: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of rare features and native habitat, and how these acquisitions fit into other priorities for our partners. This proposal was amended to reduce our acre goal which was proposed in the June 2013 Council meeting and approved by the council. We came to the council in June to reduce the obligated acres from the original proposal because of the importance of this parcel and the fact that it costs more per acre than anticipated. The council approved these changes because of this parcels wildlife value which includes multiple sharp-tail leks, water mitigation credits, a DNR history of grouse viewing blinds. Gun Lake WMA is a complex of 762 acres of contiguous habitat. All parcels acquired have been or will be restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been or will be restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. Wetlands were restored using a combination of tile breaking, sediment removal, dike construction, and water control structures. Scattered invasive tree removal and prescribed fire were used where appropriate to enhance existing grassland habitat after protection.",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Eran,Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Avenue South","South Haven",MN,55382,320-236-7755,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Aitkin,"Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/northeastern-minnesota-sharp-tailed-grouse-habitat-partnerhip-phase-iv,,,,

",,"The Council’s 25-Year Framework identifies protecting Minnesota’s remaining native prairies as a critical priority.  The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan (Prairie Plan) describes the importance of preserving the cores/corridors/complexes in areas with the greatest opportunities for long-term conservation of these prairies.  The Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge (NTP NWR) Land Acquisition program shares these goals.  This program is a cooperative, multi-year effort of The Nature Conservancy and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to preserve and protect our remaining prairies and the surrounding habitat that buffers them.  With Outdoor Heritage Fund support, this partnership is working together to advance these goals.   This program also includes a relatively small restoration/enhancement component of the acres acquired.  While the prioritization criteria favor parcels that are in good condition, because of the nature of parcel ownership some properties included small areas of converted or degraded lands needing grassland or wetland restoration/enhancement.  This work is completed only on parcels acquired with this funding, as needed to get these properties into a sustainable condition for inclusion into the NTP NWR and future management.  These acres are not reported as a separate outcome in the Output Tables in order to avoid any possible double-counting.

Northwood Lake is an impoundment of the North Branch of Bassett Creek located in the City of New Hope within the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC). Northwood Lake is a shallow lake with a fully developed watershed of 1,341 acres that provides very little stormwater treatment. The lake is used for aesthetic viewing, boating, and fishing, and is home to the City of New Hope's premier park, Northwood Park. Northwood Lake is impaired due to nutrients and is included in the MPCA's impaired waters 303(d) list. The lake is classified as a Priority 1 lake by the BCWMC and City of New Hope. The BCWMC has developed strategies to improve Northwood Lake's water quality dating back to the 1996 Northwood Lake Management Plan and continuing into the 2015 BCWMC Watershed Management Plan. The components of this proposed project were analyzed and fully described in the Feasibility Study for the Northwood Lake Improvement Project (November 2014). The project includes rainwater gardens, underground stormwater collection and re-use, a structural pretreatment device, and a wet ponding basin. These practices will maximize storm water treatment while minimizing the amount of land removed from useable park space. These practices will combine to reduce phosphorus loading by 22 lbs per year, significantly increasing the regularity with which the lake meets applicable BCWMC and State water quality standards. Secondary benefits of the project will include water conservation (through stormwater re-use for irrigation), stormwater volume reduction, habitat improvements, open space preservation, development of innovative technologies, and education.

Very little stormwater infrastructure currently exists in the 573 acre Oak Glen Creek subwatershed, and it discharges 147,519 pounds of sediment and 353 pounds of phosphorus to the Mississippi River annually. Thanks to a previous Clean Water Fund grant, a project to stabilize a quarter-mile section of creek immediately downstream of this project will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. This stretch of creek was severely deteriorated due to extreme stormwater flow volumes and rates. The increased stormwater storage from this project will complement the stabilization efforts by providing a 51% reduction in peak flow rates. Additionally, the pond retrofit project is ideally located to treat 520 acres (90%) of the highly urbanized subwatershed fully developed prior to modern stormwater treatment practices. It will reduce annual sediment discharging from the site to the Mississippi River by 33% and total phosphorus by 31%. The project is immediately upstream of drinking water intakes for Minneapolis and St. Paul and will benefit source water protection efforts.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","This grant money will be used to implement and train on the new scope and sequence model for preschool-early childhood (K-3) for Ojibwe language instruction. Grassroots Indigenous Multimedia will provide whole staff training on the new model with follow-up Skype sessions. The project will provide opportunities for students to demonstrate language skills to the community and to develop the new scope and sequence model with curriculum framework up to fifth grade by the end of the second year of the grant. GIM will provide training to White Earth staff to become coaches to other White Earth educational sites. Printed materials will be provided to the K-3 general education classrooms to support language awareness.

We will conduct exit polls at events to gain insight into how the performances were received and what their future needs are. We would hope that 75-90% of the respondents liked the events and indicate that they will return for future events. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota. The Little Theatre goals fit into this strategic outcome. Our goal for our organization is to utilize our theater throughout the year for a wide variety of artistic endeavors. We would like to have in place a dynamic calendar that includes a combination of community theater, musical performances, an annual film festival and children’s workshops. Our theater will be a space for local artists to perform as well as a space for touring artists to bring their talents to our community. In addition, we want to collaborate with other regional theaters to make it possible for nationally touring acts to come to rural Minnesota. In the future, greater collaboration with the local school district’s drama and speech departments will create a more vibrant atmosphere for creativity. We believe that this fits nicely into Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's Strategic Outcomes by increasing the availability of musical and performance arts in the region. An investment in the theatre is also an investment in the future of the local arts scene, as its partnership with the school will give local students a vital opportunity to develop as performers.We will evaluate our goals by attendance, and exit interviews at events.","Our concert series had an average attendance of 68 people.

The Arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota. People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Hutchinson Center for the Arts becomes a cornerstone establishment for the Arts Plaza, providing a communal gathering space for all to enjoy a variety of arts experiences.

The arts are seen as adding vibrancy to the fabric of a town known for its manufacturing. The increased interest in classes, attendance at exhibits and performances indicate the community is embracing the arts more and more, the Hutchinson Center for the Arts has been a critical component of this. By serving as a hub for the arts, the message about arts opportunities in Hutchinson has been disseminated more effectively. Partner Organizations are thriving and seeing increased attendance at their events and classes. Establishment of classes for youth and adults has provided much needed outlets for those not involved in sports. There is currently no other organization that provides this.

Additionally, we would like to pay her for 63 hours of discretionary time which included attendance at evening meetings and work done at concerts after hours. Another goal is to save $360 per month on rental expense which will help our general fund balance which is precariously low. Assuming we receive this grant, one of our goals would be to expand our education programming as follows: -outreach offerings by 3 each year (3 in 2013) to 6 and then to 9. (presentations at sites other than the Center to show examples, tell about offerings, informational; -Class offerings by 3 each year (1 in 2013) to 4 and then 7 (watercolor, photography, etc.); -Event programs by 3 each year (an artist's presentation that lasts about 2 hours; for example: Poetry with Florence Dacey, Mary Lou Peterson drama presentation, improve program); -Studio Night - an evening, hopefully bi monthly in which one to three artists are on site to practice their art and share their expertise with attendees in a hands-on atmosphere. In order to expand, we need to be able to pay the artists and keep the registration fees free or very low. Also, because our Center is small, some events/classes will need to be held in other venues which charge a rental fee. Art supplies are often needed for classes, so we need fund for those. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota; we believe that the arts thrive in southwest Minnesota, not only because of our organization, but because of the other offerings in the area such as The Southwest Minnesota Orchestra, the High School music, theater, and speech departments, Prairie Dance Alliance, Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, Music and Theater departments at Southwest Minnesota State University. Our goals will help continue and achieve this outcome because of our continued programing in the areas of exhibits, concerts, noon arts events and our gift shop. If we receive this operating grant, we will be able to expand our education program to include more classes and special events, such as poetry reading. It will also help us to reach more people through expanded publicity, updated website, timely newsletters, and better record-keeping due to the increase in time and salary for the Coordinator. Having extra funding for rent will help us reach our goal of becoming more financially stable, the funding for chairs will help us reach our goal of helping our volunteers be more comfortable!We will use numerical data regarding payroll to track salary expense, time worked (log), and workman's comp expense. For education, we will use numerical data to track programs offered (special events, outreach, classes), comparing offerings to offerings in the past two years. For rent assistance goal, we will also have computer data which indicates payments for rent. We will be able to see if the extra money we have helps us to meet expenses and have a stronger balance at the end of each month. The extra money will not be earmarked for a targeted expense, but, rather, to improve our bottom line. Our computer data will indicate money spent on new chairs.","Our outcomes were evaluated by numbers of classes, outreach events and special events that we offered.

We will have a Facebook account, updated at minimum once a month. We will have an updated website. We will have a working list of at least 10 volunteers and a clear chart of their skills and availability. We will have at least 4 new board members. We will develop a more comprehensive evaluation for classes. We will develop a poll through which we can access more public opinion and better assess our community’s interests and needs. We will have a basement under our building. We will have a 2 year fundraising and grant writing plan. We believe that Milan Village Arts School completely supports three of Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's strategic outcomes: that the arts are interwoven into every facet of community, and that Minnesotans believe that the arts are vital to who we are and that the arts thrive in Minnesota. Our goals will support our continued presence and contribution to both the arts community and the town of Milan. Milan is a very small town whose identity has become interwoven with Milan Village Arts School, which reflects that the arts are woven into our community. Milan has repeatedly demonstrated that the arts are vital to the town’s health by supporting the school financially, by cooperating with us for public works and events, and by valuing arts in other activities and forms outside of Milan Village Arts School. It is hard to separate Milan and the arts since Milan Village Arts School is such a key part of what continues to animate the town. As the school and the town of Milan continue to thrive, they continue to contribute to the health of arts in southwest Minnesota in general. We need to work on expanding our student base, primarily by overcoming the barriers that keep people of different ages (mostly older students attend classes, we need to reach out to a younger audience) and different ethnicities (we have a large Latino and Micronesian community in Milan). We would like to dedicate more energy to including these different populations in the future.Our goals are very concrete and measurable, with numbers related to board members, volunteers, web presence and the creation of new evaluation tools. We currently distribute an evaluation after each class, but not after the spoon gathering or various studio sessions. We would like to update the current class evaluations, have a clearer invitation for feedback and class requests on the website, and develop more comprehensive evaluations for our other events and demonstrations. These evaluations will be included in our final reports, as well as synthesized information collected from them. The upcoming board retreat will provide a clearer plan and calendar for evaluative activities.","1. The growth of both classes and the growth of student numbers: This was down a little last year due to the basement project. The school was largely out of commission from July - October while construction was underway. 2. The growth of students and classes in the school’s youth programs: While small in number the classes are growing with a number of instructors interested in developing youth classes. John Larson and Kirstin Lindstrom’s classes have been quite popular and have filled when held. The number of Youth members is steadily growing. 3. The expansion and growth of artist studios: Along with the framing, weaving and silver studios, the school is presently developing a carving studio. The studios continue to prosper, develop and attract students. The Open Carving Night studio was recently opened with plans to develop a ceramics studio in the future. 4. The development of a comprehensive updated website: This is still in progress. A new website is being developed on Squarespace. 5. The development of a student art store: In progress. 6. The development of improved marketing through a greater online presence and a Minneapolis satellite school: In progress. Classes will be trialed in the St. Paul school in 2016. 7. Greater revenue and a larger operating budget: The budget for 2014 is much larger than usual due to the funding raised for the basement and the consequent capital expenses. The overall budget will decrease, but is expected to be higher than previous years. The current Schedule year from October 1- September will be the best sales year the school has had with total sales around $40,000. 8. Increased staffing and human resources: Kirstin Lindstrom is assisting the coordinator and the board has grown to include 11 board members. We are actively investigating new positions and ways of funding them. For example, the ticket fee for the Spoon Gathering was increased from $10 to $20 in part to hire an event organizer.",,123244,"Other, local or private",131750,,"Jon Roisen, Elsa Bross, Dan Fondell, Sue Roisen, Robin Moore, Jill Blom, John Larson, Kirstin Lindstrom, Genesis Torres.",,"Milan Village Arts School","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"Operating Support",2014-07-01,2015-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ron,Porep,"Milan Village Arts School","97 Washington Ave PO Box 230",Milan,MN,56262,"(320) 734-4807 ",mvas@fedteldirect.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,Chippewa,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-597,"Kathy Schaefer: musician, photographer, Southewest Minnesota State University business professor; Dan Connolly: musician, music educator, board Renville Friends of the Arts; Barb Nelson, art teacher, vocal musician, children's theatre director; Cheri Buzzeo; production manager, Willmar Community Theatre; board member Willmar Area Arts Council; Cheryl Avenel-Navara: retired counselor, arts advocate, former fund raiser and musical performances coordinator for Worthington International Festival; Christa Otteson: Owner of Make.Do.Workshop, nonprofit consultant, former Regional Coordinator Minnesota Council of Non-Profits.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Jane Link: visual artist , Milan Village Arts School founding member, Milan Community Education, Greater Milan Initiative; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Randy Meyer: visual artist and farmer, former art teacher; Kate Aydin: retired educator, developed a curriculum focused on the visual arts, literature, and modern and traditional music of Spain and Latin America, Lincoln County Pioneer Museum board; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Vice President of Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, founding member and president, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, High School English and creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, board member Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Ellen Copperud: retired language arts teacher, theatre director; Emily Olson: writer, musician, educator; Dan Wahl: visual artist, musician, theater, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Dan Connolly: musician, music educator, board Renville Friends of the Arts; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasure, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County board; Sydney Massee; visual artist, theatre, Lac qui Parle Valley School Districts board; Audrey Fuller; writer, arts advocate, tribal planner, grant writer.",,No

The first phase of this, probably taking the better part of the first year, perhaps longer to realize will be to get our educational outreach arranged. We would like to have our Kids’ Art Club attended by at least ten students at each session. We would like to hold an average of one adult class or workshop per month and have a minimum of six students enrolled in each one. Another goal is to have our new, themed exhibits at the Barn Theatre continue to grow. We had twenty-five entries by fourteen artists for our first one and we would like to keep the level of participation at least that high, preferably higher, for all future exhibits. It is our hope that because of our work people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in the arts in the greater Willmar area. By offering arts activities for children we will expose these students to a variety of art forms at an early age. The Barn has an active children’s theatre program so adding a visual art component is the logical next step. By offering adult art instruction, we will make it possible for more people to experiment with art forms or improve skills they are interested in. We plan to offer different levels of instructions so more people will participate. And finally, it is our hope that because of the location of the art center, in downtown Willmar, we will eventually be able to reach out to the immigrant community. Many of the artists we send into the classrooms for the Artist in the Schools program report that the minority children are often the most enthusiastic about art. Hopefully we can get some of them to attend the Kids’ Art Clubs and perhaps eventually reach out to other family members.We have always had artists, food vendors, performers, and demonstrators at Celebrate Art! Celebrate Coffee! fill out an evaluation at the end of the festival. We compile the information we receive on those and review it at the follow-up meeting. Visitors to Studio Hop can pick up a prize card to be stamped at all the studios they visit to qualify them for one of two gift certificates. We have a brief survey on the back that they fill out. We ask how they heard about the Hop and similar questions. We use this information to help us evaluate if our promotional materials are effective. We also have a follow-up meeting with all the artists and make notes on their experience. We have a guest book at the exhibits and Board members attend the receptions and pick up comments from attendees. We will have the instructors record the kids’ responses to the Art Club after each session. We will periodically ask the parents to fill out a survey recording how their child benefited and suggestions for future sessions. All participants in the adult art classes will be asked to fill out a survey. We will ask how they heard about the class, their rating of the instruction, and suggestions for future classes.","We were extremely pleased by the results of all our evaluations. Both Studio Hop and Celebrate Art! Celebrate Coffee! were ranked very highly by all the responders. The students' responses to the classes were also very positive. The themed, invitational exhibits at the Barn have been extremely popular with never fewer than 15 entries, usually more.

Having a building to call home will bring sustainability to our program and help our programs thrive. We believe that many of our small communities love art but lack capacity or expertise to have art at the level they would like to have in their communities. Goal two: Work with another community in the area to maximize our resources and make programs/activities accessible beyond the city limits of Granite Falls. We want to take what we have learned and help other struggling communities in the hopes to ignite an energy that will help their program become more sustainable because if more of the communities around us have greater capacity then it is our hope to work together to increase the overall experience for everyone through shared resources. Goal three: Increase our attendance of the summer arts programs by 10% each summer for the next two years. We will work to increase affordability, access and diversity for our summer programs and it is our goal to bring those people into other aspects of our program and in doing so it will grow our program.For goal one – it will be a financial number and easy to measure. For goal two – it will be working with at least one other community and we will develop a rubric with questions to determine if the activities were made possible by the partnership for all organizations involved. It will also have a component for the artists involved to comment on how the partnership impacted their experience as well. For goal three: there will be a comparison of numbers from 2013 forward. We will look at demographics and create a rubric on continued participant engagement. Periodically throughout the year, participants will be contacted to determine how their experience in the summer workshop has or has not kept them engaged with Granite Area Arts Council. In the event the participants have not remained engaged, we will look at the reasons for to determine if appropriate adjustments may be made to improve our program.","Our goal 1 to retire debt: We were able to retire $3,600 of our debt.

Goal 3 to increase attendance of summer arts program by 10%: We had cement sculpture class, garbage can theatre, earring class, vocal workshop, guitar class, adult ceramics, kids art camp, creative journaling, and photography boot camp. While we had to cancel a few of the classes due to enrollment, we were able to offer a broader and more diverse array and overall attendance was up 46% (from 21 to 46 attendees).

Preservation of the water tower is expected to encourage community interest in local history and to play a part in local economic development. Throughout the whole of the phased project, the public has remained engaged through the ""Save the Osseo Water Tower"" Facebook page ? the reported progress toward National Register listing has only increased local interest and support. Work will continue to keep residents informed, identify contracting resources for the structure's rehabilitation, and the creation of a plan for enhancing the tower's role as a visual icon of the City of Osseo. The Osseo City Council has been more reticent to embrace the idea of preserving the water tower due to concerns related to long-term viability ? the expense of rehabilitation and maintenance as well as concerns related to retaining control over the structure have been sources of multiple discussions throughout the past three years. However, as the project has progressed and the historic significance of the water tower has been fully identified and expressed, the Council is coming to see the importance of the tower to community identity and as a highly visible symbol of the City that makes an impact on visitors.

Its Lower Otter Tail River (LOTR) reach is impaired for sediment. The LOTR begins at the dam of Orwell Reservoir near Fergus Falls and ends 48 river miles downstream at the confluence with the Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge. No point sources contribute directly to the LOTR. Consequently, the turbidity impairment must be addressed through non-point measures. Current stream instability and bank erosion is largely a result of an 18-mile channel straightening completed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s. This channel straightening reduced channel length and induced headcutting which has been a major contributor to channel instability and bank failure resulting in excessive sediment loading since that time. Bank instability is a significant contributing factor to the turbidity impairment in the LOTR. A TMDL study for this reach of the river was completed in 2006 with an implementation plan completed in 2007. An estimated 17 percent reduction in the 40,400 tons/year annual sediment load is necessary to meet the state standard. Since 2007, the Wilkin SWCD installed BMPs to hold the water back in contributing drainage systems and release it slower into the LOTR. The SWCD work has resulted in the retrofit of 40 miles of legal ditch systems with sediment controls (side inlets) and 300 acres of buffer strips. Cover cropping promotion resulted in excess of 20,000 acres of annual cover crops.

This project involves the installation of 45 side-inlet structures into Wilkin County Ditch 3-2 and 7-1 and 22 acres of buffer strips along the entire systems. Eleven miles of continuous berm will also be constructed along the ditch. When installed these water quality practices will become a permanent part of the ditch system and will be maintained by the ditch authority. These ditches outlet to the Otter Tail River just upstream from Breckenridge, MN. Together these water quality BMPs will reduce sediment loading by 1,375 tons/year. This is about 20% of the total reduction needed to meet the goals of the Lower Otter Tail TMDL Implementation Plan. In addition, this project will reduce Phosphorus loading by 1,870 lbs/year. A TMDL study was conducted on the Otter Tail River by MPCA in 2006. Water quality monitoring was conducted by the USGS, MPCA and the Wilkin SWCD. Water quality data indicated that the Otter Tail River was impaired for turbidity due to sediment loading. The USGS estimated that the annual sediment load at the sampling site in Breckenridge, MN was 40,400 tons/year. MPCA determined that this annual sediment load would need to be reduced by 17 percent (6,868 tons/year) in order for the river to meet acceptable water quality standards. Since 2007 the Wilkin County has been working with landowner to install water quality BMPs into the county ditches that drain into the Otter Tail River. At this time all county ditches, except for CD 3-2 and 7-1 have had water quality BMPs incorporated into them. Work completed to date includes: over 40 miles of county ditches with sediment controls (side inlets) and over 300 acres of buffer strips.

Youth progressed quickly, showing noticeable improvement in technique and quality after just one session. In addition, we created a safe environment where these young artists felt comfortable to participate in new practices and share authentic expression. Individual critique was given after each performance, and was valued as nourishing feedback that supported growth. As a result, significantly more young people participated than we originally planned, and that word-of-mouth is one of the best possible outcomes. 2: YouthLink and Kulture Klub Collaborative share many goals, including building healthy relationships with youth and the community -- opening doors of opportunity for futures of empowerment, connectedness and self-reliance.

A list of proposed land restoration and enhancements must be included as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"A network of natural land and riparian habitats will connect corridors for wildlife and species in greatest conservation need. Core areas protected with highly biologically diverse wetlands and plant communities, including native prairie, Big Woods, and oak savanna. Improved aquatic habitat indicators. ",,50000,"Ducks Unlimited ",1999000,16000,,1.6,DNR,"State Government","Construction was completed in 2018 on the three components that made up the major infrastructure project at Pelican Lake - construction of a gravity outlet, water control structure, and pump lift station.  This work will allow for a drawdown and enhancement of Pelican Lake to return it to what was once one of the region's premier waterfowl and wetland wildlife habitats.  Ducks Unlimited provided the engineering and construction oversight of this significant project. ",,"Pelican Lake, located in eastern Wright County within ½ hour of the Twin Cities metro area is a shallow lake known statewide for its waterfowl production, migration, habitat, and hunting opportunities and is a state-designated wildlife lakes in Minnesota. This shallow lake basin has no natural watercourse inlets or outlets. Since the late 1950s and particularly, since the late 1970s, Pelican Lake has experienced a decline in water quality and a loss of the extent and quality of aquatic plant communities that once supported wetland wildlife habitat. This decline in water quality and loss of plant communities is associated with high lake levels and watershed land uses that increase water runoff. Agricultural land uses such as tiling and ditching within the Pelican Lake watershed have altered the natural hydrology and contributed to the decline in water quality. High water levels in Pelican Lake have contributed to persistent and increased rough and game fish populations, as well as a shift from rooted aquatic plants (macrophytes) to algae-dominated (plankton) communities. Increased turbidity due to re-suspension of bottom sediments and algae has resulted in the absence of rooted macrophytes from large areas of the lake.  These macrophytes, when present, moderate wave action, stabilize bottom sediments, uptake nutrients, and provide habitat for invertebrates. These factors have resulted in Pelican Lake changing over time from a “clear water state” to a “turbid state"" and caused negative effects on lake productivity for waterfowl and shorebirds that historically used Pelican Lake as a migration stopover destination. The loss of important food sources associated with diverse macrophyte and invertebrate communities was the primary factor associated with declining use of the lake by waterfowl and shorebirds. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) cooperated with Ducks Unlimited to install the significant infrastructure needed to enhance Pelican Lake through managed drawdowns. In 2012, Ducks Unlimited completed bioengineering designs and preliminary construction plans for the Pelican Lake project and oversaw all subsequent construction.  The project focused on the construction of a variable crest outlet weir and pump lift station which would allow for the gradual dewatering of the basin through an outlet (also developed as part of this project). The outlet was completed in 2014 and was followed by construction of a stoplog weir structure.  A pump station was constructed at the existing edge of the eastern-most bay of Pelican Lake. A 24-inch intake pipe was installed from this point for 900 feet into the lake The intake pipe involved placement of a structure within the lakebed to support the intake pipe at the proper elevation. The pump allows lower drawdowns than are possible with the weir structure alone.   The water level management that this project makes possible is guided by the Pelican Lake Management Plan (2012), which details habitat objectives for the lake and defines triggers that determine what and when management actions are taken.  Pelican Lake is currently in the middle of a multi-year drawdown. The DNR plans to develop a parking lot and lake access point in 2019 to give hunters and visitors better access to Pelican Lake.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ricky,Lien,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Rd Box 20","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5227",ricky.lien@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Wright,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/pelican-lake-enhancement,,,,

They learn strategies for integrating the arts with other content areas in meaningful, engaging ways; aligning standards, learning goals, and assessments; and reflecting on and learning from student work. Professional development opportunities include multi-day workshops in summers, several 1-day network meetings throughout the school year, and meetings with Perpich facilitators on-site and online.Professional Network, Online and In-Person: Building bridges across disciplines involves tearing down silos and making connections—between content areas, within school teams, and across the region. Teachers network in two different spaces: in person at workshops and meetings, and in an online community of practice. Together, school teams share expertise, solve problems, build arts integrated curricula, assess student learning, and reflect on professional learning. Documentation and Technology: PAINT is an arts integration laboratory to create, test, and refine lessons. School teams contribute to the big picture of arts integration in Minnesota by digitally documenting and sharing those exemplary lessons and practices.

The scope of projects treated for moths was larger than projected due to a newly discovered immediate danger to the collection; the scope of work completed to clean the presence of mold was less than proposed due to additional time required for moth work and the realization that the team available for the project did not have adequate capacity to effectively treat mold-impacted pieces.",,,"Available upon request.

Monitoring information is used to characterize and assess the extent of pesticide impacts to Minnesota's water resources. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has been monitoring the state's water resources continuously for more than 25 years. With over two decades of monitoring data, the MDA operates one of the few programs with sufficient long-term data to evaluate changes in water quality over time. Clean Water funding has allowed the MDA to increase the number of detectable pesticides, increase the sensitivity of detection of certain pesticides and increase the overall number of samples that can be analyzed on an annual basis. As a result, Minnesota’s pesticide water monitoring program is one of the most comprehensive programs in the country and is regarded as a national leader. The MDA increased the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. Pesticides on the new method are now being quantified at a parts-per-trillion (ppt) level, which is a shift from the previous parts-per-billion (ppb) level. Approximately 1600 pesticide samples were submitted for analysis during 2010, an increase of 600 samples compared to 2009. This increase of 600 samples should be maintained, but may be lower if dry weather conditions persist. To learn more about our monitoring program, please visit MDA's Clean Water Fund website or the MDA's pesticide monitoring website. ","In 2011, the MDA laboratory purchased equipment for a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical methods. This switch to new methods has greatly expanded the MDA's monitoring capability. Whereas in 2009, MDA routinely analyzed for approximately 44 chemicals requiring three different analytical procedures. Clean Water Funds have supported an increase in the number of detectable pesticides from 44 in 2009 to 185 in 2022. The most significant advancement of the new methods is the ability to quantify concentrations for many of these chemicals at much lower levels.

Serving approximately 7,000 students annually, Play the Past demonstrates how museums can use technology to create self-directed, personalized, responsive field trip experiences that deepen students' connection to history while honing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Upon entering the museum's Then Now Wow exhibit gallery, students receive handheld devices pre-installed with the mobile application. The application enhances students' experiences and promotes interaction with the physical exhibit by encouraging them to answer questions, solve problems, and collect digital artifacts related to the exhibit and items in MNHS's vast collections. This ""digital backpack"" of collected artifacts is then accessed back in the classroom by teachers and students, further expanding on the field trip experience and enhancing student learning. MNHS recently added a new tool for Play the Past teachers while at the museum. MNHS now provides teachers with iPads to access their students' digital backpacks while in the gallery, allowing teachers to see students' progress in real time and students to explore the resources of the digital backpacks before reaching home. Over 90 percent of teachers reported that this new tool helped them to understand what their students were doing during Play the Past. Over 95 percent of teachers reported that their students were either extremely or very engaged with Play the Past. MNHS is also working with Dakota artists and activists to add more American Indian content to Play the Past, layering on quests that explore Dakota art, language, and food in the tipi area of the Then Now Wow exhibit. Based on the overall success of the program, Play the Past was recently awarded a grant in March 2015 for $199,936 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to expand the program from the Then Now Wow exhibit to also include the Minnesota's Greatest Generation exhibit.",,,2015-07-01,2016-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,MNHS,Legacy,"Minnesota Historical Society","345 Kellogg Blvd. W","Saint Paul",MN,55102,651-259-3105,,"Assessment/Evaluation, Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Grants/Contracts","Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/play-past-field-trip-21st-century-learner,,,,

When combined with Phases 1-3 of the Prairie Recovery Program we have cumulatively protected 5,777 acres, enhanced 95,701 acres and restored 754 acres using Outdoor Heritage Fund dollars. We will continue to implement subsequent Phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived. Phase 4 built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phases 1-3 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 1,707 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole wetland complex, and savanna were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Lands are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 440 acres of cropland and former foodplots were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Contracting preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses. 37,567 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (75 projects totalling 27,997 acres), removal of woody vegetation (95 projects for 3,725 acres), control of exotic species (84 projects - 5,821 acres), and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands (4 projects - 24 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas.  Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing local jobs through CCM and businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities. To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xml Temporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced. 2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC portfolio areas. Each of the 4 project geographies directly correlate to core areas identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include: a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request. b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands. c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits. 3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people.  4. Stakeholder involvement: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination.  Planning This project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below. 1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET) 2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas. 3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include: a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur. b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs. c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing. d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCN e. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat. f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN. g. Increase native plant species components. h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites. This project proposes to address all but item “f” above. 4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal. 5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025. 6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits. This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.

"," Finish statistical analysis for data. Present study results at state and national conferences. Publish two journal articles, one is accepted for publication in Groundwater journal in March 2018. "," Results of the statistical analysis are as follows: Filtering can make a significant difference in samples that were elevated then reduced in arsenic concentration a year later. Arsenic concentrations stabilize 3 to 6 months after well construction. Collecting samples at least 6 months after the well is drilled will give a more representative result of the long-term concentration. Collection of samples from plumbing rather than from the drill rig will give a more representative result.  Arsenic concentrations will not necessarily decrease with time, half the time it may increase a year later. Recommendation is for the homeowner to collect one more arsenic sample in the life of the well to verify the arsenic result, once the well has stabilized, at least 6 months afterward.

This event will provide an opportunity for residents of Big Lake and many surrounding communities, including all age groups, to get engaged with their neighbors, outdoors, parks and lakes. It will provide an opportunity to not only listen to the great artists, but also to sing and dance. This will be such a fantastic event for families to come out and enjoy together, no matter what financial constraints may exist in a struggling economy. At the end of the season it will be very rewarding to hear from the local communities that this was a wonderful event which brought many families, neighbors and communities together, and they can’t wait to attend next year. Artists will perform at Lakeside Park in Big Lake, Minnesota. This park provides a great atmosphere and will create long-lasting memories. Lakeside Park will provide a stage for the artists to perform on, many mature trees to provide shade and a woodsy atmosphere, picnic tables, grills, shelters, a large grassy area to set up chairs and blankets for people to view the stage, and a large grassy area for audience participation and dancing. Lakeside Park also provides a park where the grass is mowed and always kept green by irrigation, contains permanent restrooms with hot and cold water, a beautifully maintained swimming beach, boat launch and beach area where boats passing by can pull up to shore and listen to the music. Lakeside Park has a large parking area that can park up to 500 vehicles, food stands, and Farmers Market. The outcome of this event has already been successful in 2013. In the spring of 2013 a group of individuals and the City of Big Lake volunteered their time and organized the first Music in the Park event for the summer of 2013. All the costs to hire the musicians to perform were paid for by donations solicited by the volunteers. The first Music in the Park was held Thursday, June 6, 2013 and every Thursday evening thereafter, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. through August 29, 2013 (excluding the 4th of July, 2013). Up through the last performance on August 29, 2013, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and participation has been very successful. Adults, children, and a group of local disabled adults all have been singing and dancing to the music. There even have been visitors from out of the United States enjoying Music in the Park. On average, approximately 600 people each Thursday evening have enjoyed this Music in the Park event in 2013. To experience and see firsthand how the surrounding community has come together at all of these musical performances is very gratifying and is a clear indicator that it is very important that this Music in the Park event must continue. Additionally, as this Music in the Park continues, this will eventually lead into other opportunities for other artisans to display their crafts, i.e. paintings, drawings, pottery, carvings, weavings, etc. In working together, the City of Big Lake and Legacy Foundation of Big Lake want to continue to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to perform in Big Lake. It is difficult for local businesses to continue their generosity with donations to this Music in the Park event. This is why funding assistance is critical to keep this extremely successful event continuing into the future.Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance. We are able to conduct a vehicle count as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment.

21407,"Project Grant",2014,4045,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","It is our expectation that this concert will be a spectacular experience for the audience and performers alike, what with the grandeur of the music, the variety of choirs and instrumentation and the setting/acoustic of the cathedral. As in years past, this concert will inspire all involved and set the tone for the holiday season. GLORIA will be a festive musical offering of the highest quality that is affordable for Central Minnesota Residents. The chosen music, consisting of complex arrangements and instrumentation, will provide an excellent opportunity for artistic growth and increased technical ability for all performers involved. Members of the Cantabile Girls’ Choir will have the unique experience of collaborating with seasoned adult singers. It is our hope that it will be an especially profound experience to the youngest/newest members of the Cantabile Girls’ Choir who have never previously performed with adults or elaborate accompaniments. We intend to cultivate an appreciation of the benefits of lifelong singing in the young performers and audience members. Audience members young and old will be enriched through participation in carols with the massed choir. They will feel part of a culture and community that values and revels in artistic expression through song. With GLORIA, Great River Chorale will seek the following quantitative outcomes: An increase in audience members who are experiencing Great River Chorale and our annual holiday concert for the first time. An increase in audience members primarily attending to see Great River Chorale perform (not a collaborating group) due to broader marketing efforts and publicity, and a break with the traditional collaborating group. An increase in community support for Great River Chorale, evident through program ad sales and concert sponsorships. A minimum of 350 attendees at the new, one time only concert in the new location with the different format (due to the change in traditional collaborative partners).A questionnaire/survey designed to capture feedback about concert programming will be provided to audience members in the concert program. An incentive may be proposed in order to increase participation in the survey. We are keenly interested in knowing how audience members find out about our concerts, so we will ask them to note where they read or heard about GLORIA. We will ask if the experience was affordable compared to other cultural offerings in the area. In addition to the questionnaire, Great River Chorale members will be asked to report the verbal feedback they receive from participants and audience members. We expect to hear whether the audience found the content engaging and inspiring, whether they enjoyed singing along with the carols, and whether they found the addition of brass ensemble, percussion and organ to be a draw to the concert in addition to the sing-alongs, choirs, and narrations. GRC and Cantabile performers will be asked for feedback about their personal artistic growth and the merit of the experience through an electronic questionnaire. All of the directors involved will be interviewed concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration and the artistic and technical growth of their choirs. All of the above measures will be combined into a concert success summary that will be discussed with the artistic director and the board of directors as part of the planning for our next collaborative event. Quantitative evaluations will be based on feedback from survey participants. We have implemented a ticket coding system that allows us to accurately record and divide our attendees into Adult, Senior, Student/Child or Comp tickets. We will use this to gauge our audience, and compare this to last year’s attendance. We anticipate a shuffle of our traditional audience make-up due to the following factors: The concert will be performed ONE DAY ONLY (traditionally 2 days), in a new location, and without our traditional collaborative partner (Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, who will produce their own holiday concert this year). In addition, we are enjoying recent broad community exposure through Classical MPR’s Regional Spotlight, where our recordings were selected four times this past year for airplay. We are also arming our board and membership with the tools they need to go out and sell ad space in our concert program, get concert sponsorships, and sell tickets in advance of the performance. We anticipate that this increase in exposure around the community and our proactive approach to increasing community interest in our group will build a large audience for this concert regardless of the change of location, number of performances, and collaborative partner. We expect a minimum of 350 but hope to far surpass that number. The audience survey questions will ask for specific feedback regarding the new elements of the concert production and our publicity efforts. Great River Chorale members will be asked for specific feedback regarding their participation in publicity and ad sales for the performance in addition to questions about the format and artistic merit.",,,5800,"Other, local or private",9845,,,,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Great River Chorale presents Gloria, a celebration of the holidays with vibrant singing by Great River Chorale and the Cantabile Girls’ Choir, brass, percussion, and organ accompaniment, meaningful narrations and sing-alongs.

For this particular project, our outcome is to create awareness surrounding Women's Issues by producing a show starring nine actresses, each delivering monologues dealing with unique issues in their lives. We have partnered with the Saint Cloud State University Women's Center to continue the conversation after the curtain falls be hosting a series of round table discussions with local women advocates and experts ranging from resources on campus, through Anna Marie's shelter in the community, and other experts in women's issues. So by inviting the audience to participate in these discussions, we will measure round table participation, total show attendance, and follow-up contact to both Pioneer Place and The Women's Center. Additionally, through cross-promotions, on-site displays and literature, and an event geared at bringing awareness to women's issues, we intend to use this production as a catalyst to spread the word about our local resources - especially as they pertain to the Women's Center - while entertaining our audiences with an amazing production. Personnel from that organization will be on hand for each of the performances and will be given an area to share their information, add attendees to their mailing lists, and share general information regarding the Center. The success of this component of the event will be measured through increased attendance at Women's Center programming, amount of literature distributed, and the number of additions to their mailing and email lists throughout the run of the show. Finally, we will conduct a survey with our audiences to ask them how this experience fulfilled their expectations, what they learned through the production, and whether they think bringing shows like this to Central Minnesota are beneficial for raising awareness to our local resources as well as the entertainment value.There are a number of resources available to use to use in the evaluation process of this production. First, in regards to attendance, we have the technology in our box office software to identify the audience that participated through many demographics including age, income, and location. This data is important to evaluate whether or not we are reaching beyond our traditional season ticket base and reaching a wider audience. Secondly, a survey will be conducted on each performance night. This survey will gather other useful information regarding why people attended this particular production, did we meet their expectations, what was learned as a result of this theatre experience, and how has this outing increased their knowledge regarding our local resources, in particular, the Women's Center. Finally, by partnering with the Saint Cloud State University Women's Center, we want to increase awareness in both the wider community and the Saint Cloud State University community for both Women's Issues, and how theatre can be such a useful tool in stimulating those conversations.

This event will provide an opportunity for residents of Big Lake and many surrounding communities, including all age groups, to get engaged with their neighbors, outdoors, parks and lakes. It will provide an opportunity to not only listen to the great artists, but also to sing and dance. This will be such a fantastic event for families to come out and enjoy together, no matter what financial constraints may exist in a struggling economy. At the end of the season it will be very rewarding to hear from the local communities that this was a wonderful event which brought many families, neighbors and communities together, and they can’t wait to attend next year. Artists will perform at Lakeside Park in Big Lake, Minnesota. This park provides a great atmosphere and will create long-lasting memories. Lakeside Park will provide a stage for the artists to perform on, many mature trees to provide shade and a woodsy atmosphere, picnic tables, grills, shelters, a large grassy area to set up chairs and blankets for people to view the stage, and a large grassy area for audience participation and dancing. Lakeside Park also provides a park where the grass is mowed and always kept green by irrigation, contains permanent restrooms with hot and cold water, a beautifully maintained swimming beach, boat launch and beach area where boats passing by can pull up to shore and listen to the music. Lakeside Park has a large parking area that can park up to 500 vehicles, food stands, and Farmers Market. The outcome of this event has already been successful in 2013. In the spring of 2013 a group of individuals and the City of Big Lake volunteered their time and organized the first Music in the Park event for the summer of 2013. All the costs to hire the musicians to perform were paid for by donations solicited by the volunteers. The first Music in the Park was held Thursday, June 6, 2013 and every Thursday evening thereafter, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. through August 29, 2013 (excluding the 4th of July, 2013). Up through the last performance on August 29, 2013, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and participation has been very successful. Adults, children, and a group of local disabled adults all have been singing and dancing to the music. There even have been visitors from out of the United States enjoying Music in the Park. On average, approximately 600 people each Thursday evening have enjoyed this Music in the Park event in 2013. To experience and see firsthand how the surrounding community has come together at all of these musical performances is very gratifying and is a clear indicator that it is very important that this Music in the Park event must continue. Additionally, as this Music in the Park continues, this will eventually lead into other opportunities for other artisans to display their crafts, i.e. paintings, drawings, pottery, carvings, weavings, etc. In working together, the City of Big Lake and Legacy Foundation of Big Lake want to continue to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to perform in Big Lake. It is difficult for local businesses to continue their generosity with donations to this Music in the Park event. This is why funding assistance is critical to keep this extremely successful event continuing into the future.Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance. We are able to conduct a vehicle count as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment. The City of Big Lake also has a website where people can leave their comments. Audience engagement will be measured informally by audience response.","Music in the Park was evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performances, as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park.

For the Pat Hazell writing residency activity, one major outcome will be that participants are able to use creative writing as a way to help give voice to their stories using writing genres of their choice (humor, creative fiction, nonfiction, etc.). It is not the intent to use this session as a way of fleshing out stories of war, but using the experience and learned skills as ways of encouraging participants to begin truthful writing and artistic expression. Given the output from the Pat Hazell workshop in February, veterans may opt to have their own selections from the writing workshop read aloud by company members of Griffin Theater, which will take place in April. Following the writing session, a feedback session with the staff will be held, as well as a train-the-trainer session with Pat Hazell. The therapists of the VA will also have an expanded skillset in creative writing techniques following the training activities, which will help them implement new writing therapy programs at the VA into the future. Since this is an area of arts therapy without trained staff at the VA, Saint John’s University designed this session with the intent of laying a foundation for sustainability of creative writing and performance. Saint John’s University staff members expect that these activities will also strengthen the relationship with our residency partner, which in turn will facilitate future activities.Saint John’s University is working with residency partner, Saint Cloud VA, to outline specific desired outcomes. Following the residency activities, Saint John’s University will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each group of veterans served. These will be narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. Saint John’s University has also set up post-activity meetings between Saint John’s University staff and VA facilitators to discuss outcomes of the residencies and goals for future partnerships. The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. Saint John’s University 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 each performance as anticipated and if each performance was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of the particular genre.","Saint John’s University presented 3 performances and 9 residency activities with Pat Hazell of the Wonder Bread Years, Take 6, and Griffin Theatre Company’s Letters Home. These activities achieved the outcomes of engaging underserved groups in the arts and fostering a new interest in the arts in residency participants and the general central Minnesota audience. Surveys were distributed to audiences.

Organizations will have the opportunity to promote their seasons; patrons will develop relationships with artists and purchase their work. 3. Expanded organizational competence and marketing effectiveness for the Collaborative.

This concept has led to some incredible partnerships for this concert--the collaboration of the 34th Infantry Division Red Bull Army Band and the Stearns History Museum. This will be a rare opportunity for Great River Chorale to perform with our own state national guardsmen and women. We expect this will be a powerful experience for all performers and make for an exceptional experience for the audience. The concert experience will be augmented by photographs and historical information in our concert program printed with permission from the Stearns History Museum. Thoughtfully selected with the help of museum staff, these photos and related historical information will depict the St Cloud area during World War II and resident servicemen and their families from that time period. This will provide context for performers and audience members about that era—we will gaze through this window at the pride, the struggles and sacrifices of central Minnesotans who served during World War II and the families they left back home. The power of music will transport our audience back to the 1940’s through thoughtfully chosen World War II era popular songs performed by both choirs and the band. Randall Thompson’s The Testament of Freedom, a beautiful setting of patriotic texts written by Thomas Jefferson will be performed as the concert finale. This musical tribute will at once provide a great artistic challenge for all performers involved, and, as it will be performed en masse with both choirs and the army band, have a profound impact on the audience in the context of this concert. We will also include a medley of all the branches of the military’s songs and recognize veterans from each branch throughout the performance. We expect that the theme of this concert and the popular location (the historic Paramount Theatre in downtown St Cloud) will draw a large audience and many first time attendees to a Great River Chorale concert. We also expect that the theme of the performance will attract veterans and families of veterans. We are already experiencing an increase in community support through the participation of the Stearns History Museum and the 34th Infantry Division Red Bull Army Band, but expect community support to continue through the acquisition of a concert sponsor and concert program ad sales. Great River chorale will underwrite 20 tickets to this concert to be distributed to veterans and their families through the Saint Cloud VA Medical Center. Great River Chorale will also perform an outreach concert at the Saint Cloud VA Medical Center Chapel the week after the performance at the paramount. We know this will be truly appreciated by patients and staff while being a great opportunity for Great River Chorale members to give back to the community through our music. Quantitative outcomes: We expect at least 400 attendees at this concert, but hope that more will attend. We expect at least half of our attendees to be veterans or family members of veterans. We anticipate acquiring at least one sponsor for this concert. Due to the popular location and what we believe to be an attractive theme for the concert, we expect to attract several first time attendees to a Great River Chorale concert. We expect to sell at least 500 dollars of advertising space in our program for this concert.A questionnaire/survey designed to capture feedback about concert programming and our audience will be provided to audience members in the concert program. In addition to the questionnaire, Great River Chorale members will be asked to report the verbal feedback they receive from participants and audience members after the concert. Through these methods we will identify the proportion of veterans and family members of veterans at the concert and the general age breakdown of our audience. We expect to hear whether the audience found the content to be an appropriate musical tribute for the commemoration of D-Day. We will ask whether they felt that the addition of non-musical content in the concert program (historical information and photos) served to give them a better picture and transport them back to a bygone era. We are interested in knowing whether the audience appreciates the addition of non-choral elements in the concert, both the Red Bull band and the program content, and whether they think Great River Chorale should continue to include this variety in our programming. Great River Chorale performers will be asked for feedback about their personal artistic growth and the merit of the experiences of the large performance at the Paramount Theatre and the outreach concert at the VA Medical center. This will be done through an electronic questionnaire. All of the directors involved will be interviewed concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration. We will review ticket sales breakdowns and advertising sales breakdowns to verify that we have met or exceeded our goals. All of the information mentioned above will be compiled into a concert success summary that will be discussed with the artistic director and the board of directors as part of the planning for our next collaborative event.","Great River Chorale presented Salute to Freedom, a concert commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The experience extended beyond musical performances with an augmented concert program booklet and an exhibit of original WWII artifacts.

Sartell has grown from a community of less than 5,500 in 1990 to over 16,000 today, but it has not kept up with trying to make sure all of these new community members have ways to engage with each other and really come together as a community. These concerts will celebrate the addition of the new community park which is the first large outdoor group gathering place in Sartell. The goal is to have 1100 people (1000 adults and 100 youth) attend the series. 2. The second outcome is the collaboration of community members to bring art to the forefront in Sartell. There are several excellent artistic groups in the community but their tendency is to present to their own clearly defined audience. The Music in Pinecone Central Park will bring together many different arts and non-arts organizations to provide engaging and entertaining events which can lead to other community activities. 3. The third designed outcome is the fostering of at least 12 area artists. This community activity and celebration will provide special opportunities for the chosen artists to expose their talents and to earn material support for their endeavors.There are several identified outcome measurements that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the music series: specific attendance counts will be completed for each performance (outcome 1), a listing will be compiled of all volunteers and community groups providing support for the series (outcome 2), listing of exact artists performing (outcome 3), surveys of audience (outcome 1), surveys of volunteers, sponsors and donors (outcome 2), surveys of artists (outcome 3), sample video audience surveys (outcome 1), organizing committee review (outcomes 1,2,3).","Community Awareness and Engagement - attendance numbers did not reach our goal, but community engagement was met as measured by feedback of those in attendance.

They also learned the difference between organic shapes and geometric shapes. The geometric shapes can form into recognizable forms such as animals. April 6 and 8 - Graffiti Poem Art. We talked about hip-hop/rap and how it's poetry with rhythm and rhyme. They created their own graffiti background using printmaking techniques and they made a poem using cut out magazine words that will utilize rhythm and rhyme. April 13 - Mary Bruno field trip. Students visited a printmaking artist that uses words in her art to convey a message. April 15 and 20 - Linocut Quilts. We reflected on the artist visit and how Mary uses linoleum to make prints. We used a similar technique with linocuts, but also correlated the printing with African American quilts and their history. We talked about basic geometrical principles of quilts (positive/negative space, symmetry, pattern, repetition) and how they conveyed different messages. April 22. Students visited the Paramount Art Gallery. They discussed the behavior of attending and exhibition. They met afterward for a reflection and discussion of what they saw. April 25 and 27, May 2 and 4 - Photo-Op Masterpieces. Students picked out a masterpiece from a famous artist and learned the history of the artist and the artwork. They learned how to write artist statements that can describe the artwork. They traced the masterpiece onto cardboard and agreed together on how to color it and make it their own masterpiece. May 9, 11, 16 - Screen Printing. We discussed positive messages and symbolism (Say No to Drugs, reduce reuse recycle). Students brainstormed a positive message that they feel strongly about and come up with a slogan and symbol. With what they design, they created a silkscreen and transferred the image onto a t-shirt. We talked about artist statements and what they would say on stage at the Paramount about their t-shirt. May 18 - Youth Arts Initiative Spring Showcase at the Paramount, and all participants were recognized with a certificate of completion on stage at the Paramount. May 23 and 25 - Clay, Let's Wrap it up. They worked on clay and collaboratively worked on a glass on glass mosaic welcome sign for the club to hang in their building. What impacted the artist, Laura Ruprecht, the most was seeing her students grow not only artistically, but also in their confidence. She reported that she didn't know the kind of impact the projects would have on her students when developing the lesson plans. Through this grant, not only were they able to complete many hands-on projects, but also received opportunities for art exposure with Mary Bruno and the Paramount. ""I could tell that my students were hungry for art or for more art projects that were quality. I got so many comments from my students saying they thought everything they did was so much fun and that I should stay so that they can do more."" Not only were the participants impacted by the programming, but every attendee at the Spring Showcase was deeply impacted by the youth's T-shirt presentations. Each youth spoke in depth about the platform they chose for their T-shirt design. One spoke about cancer awareness because she lost a family member to cancer; two spoke about bullying prevention; another spoke about adoption, because she had been adopted, and she believes everyone should have a loving family. These remarks brought tears to our eyes, because the participants brought us into the folds of their personal lives through their artwork and literacy, and that is exactly the purpose of art - for therapy, healing and catharsis. Outcomes: Through the above activities, it was demonstrated that participants: received academic gains engaging in arts programming through projects that focus on improving literacy and math skills; Gained critical thinking and listening skills; Recognize their own creative ability and gain self-confidence in their creativity; Displayed their artwork in the Club, public places and at public events, and received recognition for their work; Engaged in arts activities in the community. The program was evaluated based on attendance data, as well as feedback from the kids, the artist and Boys and Girls Club program staff. Number of teens ages 14-19: 8. Number of tweens ages 10-13: 35. Number of younger members ages 5 - 9: 30. The program staff reported that the artist gave the kids amazing opportunities that were hands on in different media that the kids had not used before, including a glass mosaic Boys and Girls Club welcome sign project, which will be hung in the Roosevelt Boys and Girls Club welcome area. Our Arts Integration Specialist reported that she only wished the artist had more time to spend with the kids on a weekly basis, in order to reach out to more tweens and teens on a consistent basis. Lastly, our artist reported that she learned a lot about programming to youth through the process. She also learned a lot through our Youth Arts Initiative's pilot regarding the 10 Principles for Successful Arts Programming. She did mention that she did not have enough time to prepare for programs and recommended that we provide 1 hour of preparation for every two hours of class time. Feedback from the youth can be heard by watching the Youtube video link below. We also distributed a one-sheet evaluation form to the participants, staff and artist, which is attached.

Outcome No. 3 goal: 80+ students learned new music, played together, developed their skills, and continued in their orchestra programs. We had 128 orchestra students who attended camp! This was a record year for attendance! There was a concert at the end of camp including combined orchestras as well as leveled orchestras, in which the students played the new pieces they learned during the week. According to student survey responses: almost all of the students learned new skills and/or developed existing ones. Around 94% students felt that, beyond the new music they played, they either deepened existing skills at camp or learned new skills (see enclosed Survey Data). Almost all of the students who have the opportunity to play in a school orchestra will continue to do so (some students are homeschooled, a few play in band or sing in choir in school and do their string playing in lessons or youth orchestra outside of school, and some do not have this opportunity at their school depending on grade level, school, and district). This was evaluated and documented through registration, attendance, the final concert, and student surveys. Outcome No. 4: 150+ community members attended the final concert. The Apollo stage audience seats were full, with additional seating opened up in the back. We estimated from an audience count and parent surveys that 300+ community members attended the final concert. Outcome No. 5:15+ scholarships were awarded to students in need who attended camp. We awarded more scholarships this year as a proportion of a larger enrollment, distributed primarily through orchestra teachers in the area, but also through Community Ed and camp staff to students not served by a school orchestra program. We awarded 20 full and partial scholarships due to high demand this year, documented through camp registration and attendance. Our goal is that any young musicians who would like to attend the camp and learn should not be held back by financial constraints. Outcome No. 6: 15+ students participated in the free lessons program for individual mentorship, and continued in their orchestra programs. We did not meet this outcome fully. Teachers, students, and families requested a high number of scholarships rather than a high number of lessons this year. We partially met this outcome, with 7 students receiving lessons from camp staff, and all 7 of them will be continuing in their school orchestra programs. This was documented through assignment schedules and completion surveys by the teachers providing the lessons and by the students receiving the lessons. We also have partially met the completion survey requirement because some of these lessons are still in progress due to scheduling and communication difficulties.

Saint John’s University commonly surveys the audiences of both residency activities and mainstage performances. Following residency activities, Saint John’s University gathered feedback from partners to find out if the activities met the intended expectations for each group. Partners sent back narrative responses, which provided meaningful feedback. The Saint Cloud Technical College students were asked by their instructor to write a paper about their experience seeing Red Baraat. Some of the comments included: “The whole group was amazing. The energy that they showed made me see how much they like to make music.” “I enjoyed the music because of the diversity of the music the band played. I also enjoyed the part where they talked about the many influences that shaped the music they played.” “Their music is infectious and definitely made my Friday morning much more enjoyable. I would love to see them again. They bring an energy and vibe to the audience that is very unique and fantastic!” The Boys and Girls Club also responded with the following comments: As he (Sunny Jain of Red Baraat) spoke, you could see they were beaming with excitement and could hardly wait to start creating music themselves. The members of Red Baraat truly communicated their passion for creating music and did a fantastic job of engaging our members who had little experience drumming or playing live instruments. This was truly an experience that we could not have encountered anywhere else. The students who attended this workshop had a wonderful experience and will be able to draw upon it as they continue to create music in our program. Saint John’s University was unfortunately unable to secure post-residency narrative from the St Cloud VA.

This includes discussing the importance of staff and veteran testimonials about their experiences with residency activities. Saint John’s University also surveyed the general public who attended the mainstage performance with an online survey, sent via email.

Surveys and feedback to determine experience of those receiving the discounted lessons.","Our main goal was to provide assistance for financially needy families so they could afford music lessons for their children. One of the steps needed in order to achieve that end was to raise awareness to increase the amount of applicants. In the 2015-16 school year we had 15 families apply and 12 were approved for a discount on their lessons. In the 2016-17 school year we had 43 families apply and 24 were approved for a discount on their lessons. Our advertising and promotions clearly helped get the word out, encouraging more families to apply and pursue lessons in the performing arts. The project grant allowed us to double the amount of families that we could serve, from 12 students in the '15-16 year, to 24 students in the '16-17 school year. We conducted a written survey at the end of the school year to determine how critical the assistance was to the families who received it, and 80% of the families answered that they would not have taken lessons or they would have taken considerably fewer lessons without the assistance from this project grant. There was a clearly established need and this project played a large role in helping 2 dozen local children receive music instruction in the past year. Another goal was to ensure Minnesota artists were paid a livable wage in exchange for the education which they provide. Because of the project grant funding, we were able to pay the teachers a fair wage for their education, enabling local musicians to earn a living from the pursuit of their art. Many of the families also expressed how they were more likely to attend music concerts because of their new understanding and appreciation for music, and also that appreciated learning new styles of music on their instrument.

There were 440 patrons in the audience for our ninth annual concert, nearly one hundred more than the previous year, and we believe this was due to increased marketing of this concert. The audience surveys collected indicated top marks because of the quality of the program, the quantity of music, and the variety of choral organizations represented. The surveys collected indicated success of this concert and that we are meeting a need in the community. A sample of these responses included: “…[It was] Exciting to see so many talented youth from this area! …This just reinforced my love of live music! …This is one of my favorite concerts of the year. Outstanding! … I love to hear the youth sing choral music. … It is great to see the junior choirs getting excellent music training.” We had a 50% increase in survey response from the participating choral directors versus last year, who indicated that the flow of the concert and logistics were very well planned and that the variety of performing groups and music selections were perfect for the type and style of this concert. Each of the directors and their choral groups enjoyed being able to sit in the audience to hear the other ensembles perform, and noted that it was especially important for all groups to have the opportunity to make music with their peers, as well as perform and refine some of their own repertoire. For the Saint John’s Boys’ Choir group “Nova Voce,” (boys whose voices have already changed) it was an opportunity for these ninth grade men to sing with the more mature male voices of the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Men’s group. Both groups collaborated together on one song, and as a result, seven of these young Boys’ Choir men auditioned for a spot in the Youth Chorale after Youth Sing Out and all were accepted into our program for the 2016-17 season! We saw a 28% increase in audition requests for next season as well, with a marked increase in Cantabile and Saint John’s Boys’ Choir singers following this concert. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota didn’t change the number of social media posts in comparison to last year, but instead we were careful of when we posted as well as how we posted (wording, timing, and added a video). As a result, we were able to generate many more post-likes and our reach was greater than in 2015. The number of likes for our posts this year was: 213 (compared to 77 in 2015); the number of people reached this year was: 4,395 (compared to 1,124 in 2015) – a 291% increase of people reached in the community! With the addition of the video, we had 750 unique viewers, 822 people watched the video, and 54% watched the video in its entirety. There was a noticeable increase in ticket sales this year due to the variety of choirs, the number of audience members that they were able to bring, and our marketing efforts. This year, our event brought in 440 audience members versus 350 in 2015. We targeted two south St Cloud neighborhoods in proximity to the venue and sent out an additional 1,498 postcards advertising this concert through Every Door Direct Mail. It is difficult to determine how many audience members attended due to receiving the postcards or seeing the billboards in the St Cloud community, but whether they attended or not, they did see an advertisement for Youth Sing Out and the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota.

The music is interspersed with narrations of poetry by Minnesota authors. A pre-concert conversation with composers will enhance the concert experience. Two performances will accommodate audience demand for this concert. Concert attendance will grow by 22% over 2014 holiday concert attendance.; Upon completion of this project the outcomes, which will be measured in large part by an audience survey, as well as the number of tickets sold, are expected to reveal the following: 1. Increased audience satisfaction (as compared to the 2014 survey responses) because of the addition of a second performance which will create more seating and better sight lines for the audience. 2. A 22% increase in audience attendance from the 2014 holiday concert's record-breaking attendance (more than 650 patrons), of which 10% are new audience members. 3. A 5% increase in attendance of audience members between the ages of 5 and 64. 4. At least a 10% increase of concert survey responses due to incentives for participation. 5. Audience and Great River Chorale members will gain increased knowledge and understanding of the compositional styles of contemporary Minnesota composers. 6. Great River Chorale members will experience individual and collective artistic growth and satisfaction as a result of preparing and performing the music in this concert. 7. Great River Chorale will add contact information from interested patrons to its mailing and email lists. The success of this concert will be evaluated by audience attendance, the number and type of tickets sold, quantitative and qualitative data collected from a concert survey administered to audiences and performers, and verbal feedback from the same. At each performance of Made In Minnesota: Music of the Season"" the ticket stubs will be collected, counted and sorted to determine attendance and a breakdown of the audience by adults, seniors (age 65 and older), and students. Each concert program will contain an audience survey to collect quantitative and qualitative data from the audience. An example of the concert survey used at Great River Chorale's April 2015 concert is attached. A modified version of the attached survey will be created for the December 2015 concert and will include additional questions about county of residence and ethnicity. A link to an electronic version of the survey will be available on Great River Chorale's website and Facebook page. Respondents who submit a completed survey will be entered in a drawing to win Great River Chorale's 2014 CD ""A Merry Little Christmas."" Performers will also have an opportunity to give feedback about the concert experience. A summary of the data that is collected will be shared with the artistic staff and board of directors and will be used for future planning purposes.""","Specific outcomes achieved as a result of this project include the introduction of music by living Minnesota composers and poetry by living Minnesota poets to audiences and performers who did not previously know these works, the world premieres of two new songs composed for Great River Chorale, and a pre-concert conversation with composer Laura Caviani and poet David Bengtson led by Great River Chorale artistic managing director Mary Kay Geston that explored the origin and inspiration for some of the music and poetry in the concerts. This activity also provided an opportunity for the 30 people in attendance to ask questions and interact with the guest artists. Another outcome of this project is due to advertising in a new radio market (Minnesota Public Radio) in an effort to target an audience interested in classical music. Verbal feedback from several first-time attendees indicated that the MPR advertisements were the single reason they purchased tickets to the concert. Quantitative evaluation of this project was done by counting the number and type of tickets sold, as well as by assessing the manner in which audience members learned about the concerts. Combined ticket sales for both 2015 concerts were 191 seniors, 191 adults, and 42 students, equaling a total of 424 audience members. When buying advance tickets online, purchasers were asked to identify how they learned about the concerts. This data showed that our audience learned about the concerts by (in descending order of frequency) hearing about it from a performer, receiving a seasonal mailer, seeing an online advertisement, reading an article in the Saint Cloud Times, seeing an advertisement in a church newsletter, receiving an email from Great River Chorale, and by word of mouth. Written and verbal feedback from audience members and participating artists provided qualitative feedback and is exemplified in the following comments: ""Wow, your performance yesterday totally exceeded my expectations!"", ""The whole program was so wonderful: seamless transitions between pieces, interesting and varied choice of material, joyous yet professional, too."", ""Thank you for programming and conducting the exceptional Christmas Concerts this weekend."", ""A tenor in our church choir, who is not easily pleased, announced at our rehearsal that his ears were ""happy"" because of the quality of Great River Chorale singing!""",,13673,"Other, local or private",16464,,"Katherine Gardner, Connie Taylor, Dennis Douma, Maureen McCarter, Alex Hennen, Jennifer Pearson Hennen, Mary Geston, Deborah Ferrell",0.00,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Made in Minnesota: Music of the Season",2015-12-04,2015-12-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Kay",Geston,"Great River Chorale","4310 County Rd 137 PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Morrison, Todd, Douglas, Kandiyohi",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-162,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

College of Saint Benedict commonly surveys the audiences of both residency activities and mainstage performances. Following residency activities, College of Saint Benedict gathered feedback from partners to find out if the activities met the intended expectations for each group. Partners sent back narrative responses, which provided meaningful feedback. Survey responses from the District 742 Special Ed teacher: “Yes, (there was an impact) – I think for our kids it made them focus more because it (the activity/performance) was nonverbal. The length of time was good – any longer and our kids start to lose focus. As a staff member, it was enjoyable to watch.” College of Saint Benedict also learned about special cultural considerations that should be made when going back into the schools: one portion of the artist’s improvisation exposed his belly, which is not appropriate in some cultures. College of Saint Benedict has now made a note to ask teachers in advance about any other questions or considerations that might need to be made in the future when working with this population in the future. Hugo and Ines also worked with college students at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University in a workshop, and many theater majors were encouraged to attend the performance at the $10 student ticket rate. One professor at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University wrote: “I encouraged students to go--one class was theater majors who loved it; the second class was an improvisation class who are not theater majors. Those students were absolutely blown away by the performance not only because of the artistry but also because they had never experienced any form of theater other than the ""norm"". At the next class I asked them to discuss the workshop and their experience at the performance. The students all felt quite special that they had the opportunity to work with the performers and loved, LOVED the workshop.” College of Saint Benedict also surveyed the general public who attended the mainstage performance with an online survey, sent via email. 90% of survey respondents noted that the performance was either “Very Good” or “Amazing.” An overwhelming majority of survey respondents also said that Hugo and Ines was fun, had stellar artistry, and changed their perceptions of the genre of puppetry.",,6898,"Other, local or private",13013,,"Mimi Bitzan, Brian Campbell, Sarah Catcher, Hollie Kroehler, David DeBlieck, Louann Dummich, Barry Elert, Paul Hamilton, Laura Hood, Ken Jones, Katie McCarney, Mark McGowan, Rick Odenthal, Sue Palmer, Gustavo Pena, Colleen Hollinger Petters, Simon-Hoa Phan, Chris Rasmussen, Joe Rogers, Steven Bezdichek Pfahning, Arno Shermock, Jerry Wetterling, Katie Ruprecht-Wittrock, Brandyn Woodard",0.00,"College of Saint Benedict AKA College of Saint Benedict Fine Arts Programming","Public College/University","Project Grant",,"Teatro Hugo and Ines performance and residency",2016-03-30,2016-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Megan,"Vetsch Johnson","College of Saint Benedict AKA College of Saint Benedict Fine Arts Programming","37 College Ave S","St Joseph",MN,56374,"(320) 363-5507 ",mvetschjohnson@csbsju.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Stearns,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-166,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Central Minnesota Arts Board, Leslie LeCuyer (320) 968-4290 ",1

32511,"Project Grant",2016,2450,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","The outcomes of this residency are: 1) to provide supplemental, lasting, and meaningful learning opportunities for Rockford students; 2) improved student playing and enhanced leadership skills; 3) to connect the students with an in-depth experience with professionals; and 4) to provide an exceptional and unique experience in the arts for the community members of Rockford, benefitting them positively through a quality arts presentation, resulting in a deeper arts understanding and appreciation.; The ultimate project intention and outcome of this residency for the student community is to provide an experience to Rockford students that supplements school music curricula through an in-depth residency. The Copper Street Brass Quintet will engage my students not only in music, but also in activities enhancing their creativity, sequential thinking, self-control, and concentration, among other skills. They use specific pieces of music to facilitate an experience that instills an appreciation of music, runs concurrent to the Minnesota State Academic Standards for music, and advances the school arts curriculum. Specific educational goals for this residency are to: Supplement, not supplant, my existing school music curricula. Increase students’ musical skills (tone production, note-recognition, rhythm, listening, etc.). Provide students with the chance to perform alongside professionals at the capstone performance (increasing self-confidence and motivation, and cultivating community support through excellence and achievement). Create strong leaders within my band program, encouraging excelled and continuing participation in band. Each program component is carefully designed not only to coincide with relevant classroom curriculum but also to be age-appropriate, high energy and engaging, and sequential. The band students here in Rockford range in ability levels from beginners to more advanced young musicians. In each classroom performance, the Copper Street Brass Quintet’s teaching artists tailor their teaching methods and curricula to meet the student at their ability level, thus providing the opportunity for the most efficient student improvement. I am excited that this residency would make possible the quintet to come in and speak to and perform for my students, and not just travel through town for a concert and be gone. My students will build a relationship with the Copper Street Brass Quintet and will benefit from this in-depth, unique, and positive musical instruction beyond what they get in their regular daily music lessons and band class. All elements of the residency will be evaluated. In the context of a residency, there are several indicators that both the Copper Street Brass Quintet and I will monitor. They include: Students who are visually engaged, who ask questions, participate in discussions and volunteer. This is a strong indicator that my students are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. Improved instrumental playing. I will hear my bands play more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to rehearsals. Positive feedback from my students. I will specifically ask my students between activities about what they learned and how those concepts are relevant to their own music-making. A successful capstone performance: the students enjoy a chance to perform, show a focused effort, and produce a polished end product. We will attract a large audience from the community. Student reflection is built into each educational activity by the Copper Street Brass Quintet. For example, in the Copper Street Brass Quintet’s classroom showcases, the group performs a variety of music for the students and also asks them to make thoughtful observations about what they see and hear. Specifically, with junior high and high school bands, the Copper Street Brass Quintet uses a suite of three pieces of music from the famous opera “Carmen” to sequence three clear learning goals. Each movement from the suite is followed by a discussion focused on connecting the observations to the music and concepts the students are studying in band. The first piece encourages careful listening to identify an important element of music - the melody. The students are challenged first to describe what a melody is, and then to follow the melody as it is passed from the trumpet to the trombone during the performance. After the piece concludes, students will identify what instruments performed the melody, why it is important to listen carefully and find the melody, and how those listening skills can improve the sound and balance of their own band. The other two pieces performed from the “Carmen” suite build on the skill of careful listening to incorporate thoughtful observation and discussion of the performer’s body language and ensemble communication and finally more advanced instrumental technique, such as changing the sound to communicate the style of music. In this way, students can enjoy hearing an exciting, professional performance and also grow as musicians themselves. In class: students are participating and improving their musical understanding. After the classes: verbal feedback from the students. After the school day: surveys from school faculty and staff. At the evening concert: surveys from parents and audience. The quintet video and audio records all of their sessions during residencies, and I will follow suit and also set up my video camera and audio recorder as well. This goes for the in-class educational sessions as well as the evening performance. This will provide the opportunity for feedback the day-of as well as after the residency is complete, and will be invaluable both for me and the Copper Street Brass Quintet for my program’s future residency/educational projects and for the quintet’s future programming. The day after the residency, in my music classes, my students and I will watch and listen to the final performance. I will then start a dialogue with my students about what they thought. I will ask questions, aiming for thoughtful and in-depth feedback from them, such as: “What do you observe the Copper Street Brass Quintet doing when they’re performing? Do they look relaxed? Like they’re having fun? Did you perceive them to make mistakes?” “What do you observe us doing when we’re performing? How did our performance go? Aside from notes and rhythms, how did we do? How did we look as a band? Did we look proud to be on stage? Did we seem comfortable? Did you have fun performing?” “How did the audience react to our music versus other concerts we’ve done? Do you think the community enjoyed it?” In addition to the in-class and video/audio described above, the quintet and I will work together to provide a concrete evaluation of the residency in three ways: 1) a record of in-class observations and responses from the students, recorded at the end of each residency day; 2) online exit and paper surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance; and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination. The most basic evaluation measure is careful planning and communication between myself and the Copper Street Brass Quintet. We will establish baseline goals with at the beginning of the residency and touch base before each activity about progress towards those goals. Notes from all communications are kept in an online database where we can see progress. I have worked with the Copper Street Brass Quintet to develop a simple feedback survey that we will use to measure overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The survey is available online as a Google form and in print at the concert. The results from these surveys are compiled online by the survey host (Google) and will provide data to aid in our evaluation of the residency and will give me and my band program the tools I need to duplicate, as well as improve upon, certain aspects for future residencies we host here in Rockford.","The outcomes of this residency were to: 1) to provide supplemental, lasting, and meaningful learning opportunities for Rockford students; 2) improved student playing and enhanced leadership skills; 3) to connect the students with an in-depth experience with professionals; and 4) to provide an exceptional and unique experience in the arts for the community members of Rockford, benefitting them positively through a quality arts presentation, resulting in a deeper arts understanding and appreciation. I believe we attained all four of these outcomes. My students still bring up concepts they learned from the Copper Street Brass almost on a daily basis. They don't get this opportunity often at all and giving them this residency has led to a greater interest in band as a whole. Our evaluation piece included four aspects: in class - students are participating and improving their musical understanding, after the classes - verbal feedback from the students, after the school day - surveys from school faculty and staff, and at the evening concert - surveys from parents and audience. The most objective of these was the survey I had my students take after the residency. 100% of the students said they learned multiple things from the residency from how to overcome stage fright and look like a professional on stage to how to create an arrangement and how to stay involved in music past high school.",,2550,"Other, local or private",5000,,"Kris Abrahamson, Todd Anderson, Ted Botten, Lia Hall, Kathy Smith, Chuck Tryon, Paul Durand",0.00,"Rockford Area Schools","K-12 Education","Project Grant",,"Copper Street Brass educational and performance residency",2016-02-29,2016-02-29,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jerald,Ferdig,"Rockford Area Schools","6051 Ash St",Rockford,MN,55373,"(763) 477-9165 ",staff@csbq.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Wright,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-169,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

Counting ticket sales is one of the evaluation methods that we will use to determine if our marketing and promotional materials were effective (print, email, billboard, online streaming, and website impressions). An observed increase in audience size over last year will indicate success. A survey will be used to determine how we can serve our audiences better at this and future concerts. A paper survey will be available in the lobby for patrons who prefer to fill out a hard copy of a survey, while an online survey will appear as a link in the program, along with the website address and a QR Code for those patrons who use smartphones. Both the paper and online results will be tabulated into a spreadsheet and read amongst the staff of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and its Board of Directors. We will be looking for ratings of 4’s and 5’s (5 = Excellent) on the feedback responses. A separate survey will be conducted and sent to the directors of our guest choirs where we will ask for their feedback on how this project served their particular choir and if they felt that singing with - and for - a difference audience was a good experience. While it will be difficult to determine how many people are reading and seeing our particular advertisement on the billboards, we can say that the estimated number of cars driving past the billboard near St Joseph, Minnesota receives an average of 18,000 cars daily; while the traffic count near the Municipal Athletic Complex in St Cloud receives a daily average of 23,000 vehicles. Audience reactions will be observed during and after the concert and in the weeks to come, new verbal responses will help us determine whether anything different needs to be done in preparation for next year’s collaborative concert. A non-verbal standing ovation at the close of the concert will signify favorable audience reaction. An increase in activity on our social media profiles will point to the success of the event and to the awareness of the choir(s) in general.

There were nearly 450 patrons in the audience for our third annual concert, almost one hundred more than last year, and a greater amount than we had anticipated there to be in the audience. The audience surveys collected indicated mostly 5s because of the quality of the program and the quantity of music and variety of choral organizations represented. We had more patrons fill out the audience survey online than we have had in the past (57 this year, vs. 22 last year). The survey indicated success of this concert and that we are meeting a need in the community. The surveys from participating choral directors indicated that the flow of the concert and logistics were very well planned; and that the variety of performing groups and music selections were spot on. Each of the directors and their choral groups enjoyed being able to sit in the audience to hear the other ensembles perform, recognizing that this was a celebration of choral singing and not a contest. They indicated being extremely willing to participate again in the future. We increased the number of concert posts this year leading up to the event and after the event had concluded. As a result, we were able to generate many more post-likes and our reach was greater than in 2014.

Elk River Community Theatre is being revamped because of the experience all of the adult actors had in this show, causing them to want to do more “adult” theater. One mother helped make props from her hospital bed after miscarrying her eighth child, and being diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Several NorthStar Family Theatre families are committed to ensuring that her daughters will be able to participate in the next show. Also, there is a young man who is severely autistic. He started out as a backstage hand four years ago, and didn’t really talk to anyone. Now he’s come so far out of his shell that he acted, danced, and sang a lead role. His mother cried she was so proud of him. Our stage manager has also come out of her shell. A quiet, reserved girl who never took charge, has stage managed several shows for us and has become confident. Her mother sent an email to Artistic Director, Eileen Anderson, thanking her for the wonderful change she’s seen in her daughter over the past few years. Many audience members commented on the fabulous costumes and set. They’ve commented before on the superb quality of acting and singing. Now, thanks to the Central Minnesota Arts Board grant, they thought the set and costumes were up to the level of the acting and singing. There is a DVD of the show, and there are program fliers.

This growth has lead to increased demands from use of this area, its natural resources and related public land base that need to support this growth. Development of these private industrial parcels has resulted in the loss of Jack Pine barrens in the landscape of southern Cass County. Industrial forest tracts held by Potlatch are currently being sold to private developers. These lands often provide access to existing public lands for resource management, are inholdings in otherwise unfragmented landscapes, create contiguous wildlife corridors, and protect larger blocks of land especially useful for stand level management of habitat. Key industrial forest tracts (i.e. inholdings in large public land tracts, management access issues) are being considered or currently being offered for sale by a large industrial forest owner (Potlatch Corp) in this area. Depressed market conditions and a willingness by this industrial forest owner to sell at this time is an opportunity that should be addressed now since it is narrow and may close at any time. The strategy was to acquire land that completes existing habitat corridors. The land acquired has existing forest access roads that have been used for management access for years. The sale of these lands to private individuals has already resulted in the loss of access for resource management on public lands and conversion from forest to agricultural use. The acquired lands were not being pursued for convenience of management. The acquired parcels play a key role in future management plans of the Jack Pine Barrens including the role of fire as a management tool. The loss of these parcels to private ownership would have resulted in lost access and possibly loss of forest land. Management of adjacent public lands would have been limited to frozen ground conditions. This would have eliminated management tools such as site preparation of Jack Pine plantings and aerial seeding as well as prescribed burns for Jack Pine regeneration. This type of management requires year round access. The acquired lands provide year round management access to existing public lands in the Jack Pine barrens landscape. The acquisition of these lands provided permanent year round access for forest management as well as protecting habitat in and around the surrounding areas. The Cass County Forest Resource Management Plan directs the County to acquire land of this nature whenever possible to protect our management access.

",,"Audubon and Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) designed the Protecting and Restoring Minnesota's Important Birds Areas Program to provide solutions to declining grassland and waterbird populations due to habitat loss in western Minnesota. This program is unique for several reasons: 1) the emphasis on Important Bird Areas, which are essential to maintaining healthy and diverse bird populations in Minnesota; 2) a commitment to protecting and restoring working grasslands, remnant prairies and threatened wetlands within these IBAs; 3) the utilization of the cost- effective, reverse-bid model of evaluating and paying for conservation easements. In the Tallgrass Aspen Parklands, Audubon utilized a GIS analysis which found that within these IBAs, there are a total of 339,616 acres of private lands. Of those, 105,000 acres (31%) could be considered wildlife habitat worthy of conservation (e.g., wetlands, grasslands or woodlands). More specifically, private lands that are both within an Important Bird Area and a Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan core area total 195,480 acres, of which 51,576 (26%) could be considered of conservation value. It is this 26% of high priority private lands that this project targeted for protection, restoration, and enhancement in the Tallgrass Aspen Parklands. Specific tracts for easements were identified through a targeted application process as part of this Program’s innovative scoring system. The evaluation and payment strategy was based on MLT’s successful Avon Hills and the Wetlands Protection Initiative, which both used a science-based ranking system and reverse-bid model to leverage the State’s investment on these high-value wildlife lands. Audubon and MLT focused restoration/enhancement efforts on IBAs and the Prairie Plan’s priority areas within western and northwestern Minnesota where these efforts would most benefit target species. Restoration/enhancement work occurred on public lands and private lands previously protected by MLT under this grant and existing USFWS conservation easements. Easement lands, although permanently protected, often have a significant need for habitat restoration and enhancement. In addition, program partners restored and enhanced 524 acres of habitat within Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, as part of the largest tallgrass prairie restoration projects in North America. These acres enabled MLT and Audubon to further increase the value of these respective lands for focal species by targeting priority lands prioritized by the USFWS. Using this model, Audubon Minnesota and MLT protected four properties totaling 485 acres through perpetual conservation easements and restored and enhanced 2,323 acres of habitat on permanently protected public lands and private lands protected through publicly funded conservation easements by the USFWS and MLT. Properties protected through conservation easements under this Program: Skull Lake (Peterson) – Kittson County. 80 acres The property falls within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property protects portions of two rare wet prairie native plant communities and is within 3.5 miles of a 7,000+ acre unit of Skull Lake Wildlife Management Area and four miles of The Nature Conservancy’s Wallace C. Dayton Conservation and Wildlife Area. The property supports sharp-tailed grouse and their courtship leks. Skull Lake (Pines Land) – Kittson County. 105 acres The property lies within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property is located within a complex of natural habitats that provide habitat for elk, moose, gray wolf and black bear. Skull Lake WMA, which is identified by MBS as being of outstanding biodiversity significance, is located less than two miles to the south of the property. Skull Lake (Paine-Smude) – Kittson County. 160 acres This spectacular property lies within the Kittson-Roseau Aspen Parkland Important Bird Area and within the Aspen Parklands Core Area. The property borders the 7,000+ acre Skull Lake Wildlife Management Area to the north and 230-acres of land owned by The Nature Conservancy to the east. The property consists of five native plant communities, some of which are considered rare or imperiled in Minnesota, including Northwestern Dry- Mesic Oak Woodland, Bur Oak- (Prairie Herb) Woodland and Dry Barrens Prairie (Northern). The property is located within a site of high biodiversity significance, as ranked by Minnesota Biological Survey. Gilchrist Lake (Mulvaney) – Pope County. 140 acres The property lies in close proximity to over 6,000 acres of existing protected lands that are located within five miles of the Property. The wetlands and lakes in this area form the heart of Minnesota’s prairie pothole ‘Duck Factory’ that is of continental significance for waterfowl reproduction. The rolling terrain found on the property con¬tains a mosaic of mesic hardwood forests, a variety of wetlands, and remnant native prairie. It also contains 4,588 acres of undeveloped shoreline on a bay of Gilchrist Lake, a popular recreational lake. A wide variety of wildlife frequents this property, including many species of migra¬tory waterfowl and Species in Greatest Conservation Need. For this Program, MLT: 1) identified, contacted and negotiated with interested landowners; 2) completed four perpetual conservation easements totaling 485 acres; 3) documented property conditions and developed habitat management plans for; 4) dedicated funds for the perpetual monitoring and enforcement of those easements; 5) managed restoration/enhancement of 1,580 acres of private lands protected through publicly funded conservation easements held by MLT and USFWS. Audubon Minnesota: 1) served as Program Manager and local point of contact; 2) assisted with landowner identification and easement site assessments; 3) managed habitat identification and prioritization on the conservation easements; 4) managed the restoration/enhancement of 743 acres of lands which are protected through publicly-funded conservation easements or in public ownership; 5) managed the restoration/enhancement of 524 acres of lands funded through MLT's appropriation through a subcontract from MLT (those acres are attributed to MLT above); and 6) enhanced an additional 48 acres on Minnesota Land Trust easements conserved under this Program which are not included in any deliverable totals since they fall within the already acquired conservation easement.

The project focused on habitat protection within a core area along and nearby the Crow Wing River in an area that also includes the Huntersville State Forest, Crow Wing Chain Wildlife Management Area (WMA), Hunterville WMA, Burgen Lake Prairie WMA, Menahga WMA and Yaeger WMA. Habitats protected include pine, oak, and aspen forests, brushlands, and wetlands. Some river river frontage along the Crow Wing was included; the Crow Wing River is one of the state's best river routes for canoeists, with many rustic campsites and miles of undeveloped wooded shoreline. Parcels acquired are now managed by the appropriate DNR Division as State Forests and Wildlife Management Areas. This is an important public use area that provides a wide range of public recreational opportunities including hunting, hiking, fishing, canoeing, trail riding and camping. The project protected properties containing high conservation and natural resource values as determined by a team of area staff who used a science based assessment to evaluate resource values on the various tracts. Values considered in the assessment included shoreline habitat, wildlife habitat, terrestrial ecological importance, groundwater protection, watershed protection, access, trails, forest consolidation and forest productivity. The parcels were further evaluated based on their threat of conversion to agriculture using the following criteria: topography, soil drainage, proximity to other irrigated agricultural land, size of parcel and soil survey data. The project implemented the Minnesota State-Wide Conservation and Preservation Plan priorities to ""protect large blocks of forestland"" and to ""improve connectivity and access to recreation"". In addition, it supported other priorities including the ""protection of priority land habitats"", ""protection of critical shoreland of streams and lakes"" and ""supports and expands sustainable practices on working forest lands"". The project also addressed two of the priority actions listed in the Outdoor Heritage Fund: A Twenty Five Year Framework for the Northern Forest Section.

Freenotes are perfect for musical beginners and experts alike. The sculptural elegance and flowing lines are a fine addition to either a sophisticated landscape or urban outdoor setting. Our broad color palette offers options to awaken the senses with bright primaries, or neutrals that blend subtly into any environment. A Freenotes collection delivers engaging interactive art to complement a wide variety of outdoor settings. They are working sculptures and true percussion instruments. Freenotes allure draws in children and adults alike, to play and to enjoy, creating a full sensory experience. Outcomes for the successful completion of this public art project include increased use of Sturges Park, increased use of the Music Trail, and a great understanding and appreciation of music as an art form.The Rotary Club of Buffalo boasts 70 very active members all committed to service to our community. A weekly tally book will be created and kept with Buffalo Rotary's supplies at Huikko's Event Center (Buffalo, Minnesota). Rotarians will volunteer and sign up for one week and, within that week, visit the Music Trail a minimum of two times. Each visit must be at least 15 minutes long and consist of one weekday and one weekend day. Each Wednesday the Rotarian who volunteered to observe the Music Trail for the prior week will document the date, time, and duration of their visits, as well as the number of people observed using the instruments. There will be room for anecdotal notations as well. In addition, any Rotarian passing by Sturges Park and seeing the Music Trail in use will be encouraged to note the date, time, and number of people observed in the register. Buffalo Rotarians will also be asked to volunteer to tally participants during a minimum of two concerts in the park, the Fishing Klinic for Kids, the Buffalo Triathlon, and prior to the Buffalo Days fireworks. Particular attention will also be paid to the age of the participants, and use of the instruments by any individuals with special needs. A community-wide survey, including participation of different outdoor activities and the Music Path, would be used in August 2015 to determine the use and effectiveness to the community and surrounding neighborhood.","Visual enjoyment of the beautiful instruments as well as musical enjoyment of the wonderful sounds that they make.

From this group of entries a committee of library staff, city personnel and library patrons would select five poems to be placed in the new concrete. The final placement of the poems in the concrete will represent the final outcome and permanent nature of this project. The poems will be in place for years to come. The best outcome for this project will be in hearing the comments of children and adults as they discover the poetry in the cement as they go into the reading garden. The library staff is particularly interested to see how the children during story hours react when they see what one of their age group has created. We are also interested to see what a senior might say when they see their poem is part of the reading garden. Seniors have many reflections on life and we expect that will be in the poem that might be selected. One senior in a conversation with a park board member had quite a smile when he remarked that he hoped his poem might be chosen as he really is ready for the challenge and wants to do something that tells of his unique life. It is experiences like this that will be reflected in the poems that will become of this project. We expect that the poems that are submitted will reflect a good mixture of many creative ideas that reflect the makeup of the people who utilize the library. The review committee will select poems that truly have a meaningful message. As described above the best evaluation will be in the number of entries that we will receive for this project from library patrons. We expect it to reflect all age groups of people who use the library. From these entries at least five will be selected for inclusion as poems that will be placed in the cement. The looks of the children as they first see the poems during their story hours will be a good indication of how they feel about a poem. We expect to see many smiles if one of the children’s poem is selected to put into the cement. Another group that we have described above are the teenagers from the Area Learning Center which is near the library. It is our hope that we will receive entries from them. One of the English teachers is excited to make this poetry project part of her lessons for the coming school year. She stated it will be another link between the school and the library.

The County Road (CR) 6 ravine (Quarry Creek) cuts through the Minnesota River valley bluff in Blakeley Township. Active channel incision and erosion within the ravine has caused large amounts of sediment to be deposited under the bridge at CR 6 such that the road is frequently flooded and sediment has to be removed several times a year. The accumulated sediment is course particulate with most of the suspended sediment going into the Minnesota River immediately downstream. Goals of the project are to: - Reduce sediment export to the Minnesota River - Reduce sediment maintenance needs at CR6 - Control property damage to land owners from ravine erosion and headcutting Addressing erosion and sediment from near channel sources like Quarry Creek is important. MPCA and others have identified near channel areas as the dominant source to the Minnesota River, which in turn dominates sediment sources to the Mississippi River and Lake Pepin.

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

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

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

The paintings are a deep exploration of color, shape and pattern into which I'm diving and from that dive I'm pulling my inspiration for choreography and fabric designs. The biggest goal for this show is to successfully combine original work from a few disciplines into one show to celebrate natural pattern. I want to engage viewers in new and exciting ways and enhance each viewer’s experience of my concept at the show because of the multi-disciplinary approach. To help me evaluate if I've achieved my goals, I will gather feedback from a couple different groups. I will ask my dancers to respond to several questions at the close of the show about how they saw or experienced pattern through the movement, fabrics and visuals. I would also like to offer a response resource for visitors at the opening. There would be a couple questions and room for independent comments as well. Finally, I will invite several artists that I know to the opening from different disciplines and ask them for their impressions from the show. I believe I will be able to evaluate the success of the show with the wide variety feedback I will receive.","I created 3 different surveys and gave them to those who attended the opening, a couple of artists (painters and designers) and the dancers who danced in the opening.

This project will protect Lake McCarrons and the Villa Park Wetland System (VPWS) by reducing runoff volumes and the pollutants associated with urban stormwater such as Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), heavy metals, and petroleum products among others. Lake McCarrons is currently unimpaired, though excess phosphorus loading threatens water quality, aquatic health, and recreational use. The VPWS drains 753 acres to the northwest of Lake McCarrons. Despite previous phosphorus load reduction efforts, CRWD monitoring data indicates VPWS continues to export phosphorus to Lake McCarrons. The Villa Park Wetland Management Plan recommendations a two phase approach for reducing phosphorus loading from the Villa Park subwatershed. The first recommended action to dredge the wetland cells was completed by CRWD in September 2013. This project will implement the next phase, to reduce volume and pollutant loading to the wetland through Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as bio-retention basins or infiltration systems. In addition to volume reduction through infiltration, the system will be designed to store and reuse a portion of the runoff to irrigate the softball field. Up to 1.3 million gallons of potable water use will be eliminated by providing a storage tank to satisfy the estimated 4 acre-feet irrigation demand over the growing season. Once the reuse tank is full, excess water will then be directed to the infiltration area, eliminating the need to install real time controls to draw the tank down and provide storage prior to a rain event.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Forrest,Kelley,"Capitol Region WD","1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4","St Paul",MN,55108,651-644-8888,forrest@capitolregionwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Ramsey,,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reduce-reuse-revitalize-upper-villa-park-volume-reduction-and-stormwater-reuse-project,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO

With the Rice Lake TMDL implementation plan ongoing, this area is a target for restoration projects and a place to have measurable results. The Stearns County Environmental Services Department (ESD) and Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), through the Comprehensive Water Management Plan, developed a Pollutant Loading Model (PLM) in 2005 for riparian lot development. The PLM determines the amount of sediment and phosphorus discharged from each particular riparian lot into the adjacent lake or river, and also determines the size of Best Management Practice (BMP) needed to mitigate for development. The PLM has calculated pollution inputs and associated BMPs that will mitigate for impervious surface impacts.

These protected wetland and grassland complexes will provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife species in Minnesota.   The RIM Wetlands Partnership utilized a local-state-federal partnership, delivered by Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR).  In addition, the project included collaboration with Ducks Unlimited, the Minnesota Waterfowl Association, Pheasants Forever, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the United States Department of Interior - Fish and Wildlife Services.  Ducks Unlimited (DU) was a full partner in the RIM Wetlands Partnership.  DU promoted RIM easements, and provided engineering services, technical assistance and project management services through DU specialists.  RIM Wetlands Partnership statewide sign-up was completed in early 2015. Applications were scored and ranked using the RIM Wetland Restoration Evaluation Worksheet.  The worksheet determined which restoration projects provided the greatest wetland functions and values and optimized wildlife habitat.  The highest scoring applications were funded.

20689,"Root River Protection and Restoration",2014,1644600,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(c )","$2,750,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for agreements to acquire land in fee for scientific and natural areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 86A.05, subdivision 5, and for state forest purposes under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 7, and to acquire permanent conservation easements as follows: $2,122,000 to The Nature Conservancy and $628,000 to the Minnesota Land Trust. Up to $100,000 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17. A list of proposed acquisitions and permanent conservation easements must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Protected 143 acres (in fee with state PILT liability), protected 526 acres (in easement), and enhanced 396 acres for a total of 1065 acres ",,36400,"TNC, Private Source ",1644600,,,1.15,"The Nature Conservancy/MN Land Trust","Non-Profit Business/Entity","The Nature Conservancy acquired in fee 3 properties that added 143 acres to the RJ Doer Memorial Hardwood Forest. The Minnesota Land Trust protected 3 properties with perpetual easements totaling 526 acres. The Nature Conservancy enhanced 396 acres of high priority habitat (bluff prairie and oak savanna) on existing state forest and Scientific and Natural Area lands, and an additional 35 acres on new fee acquisitions.  ",,"This program identified three primary goals: 1) expand the amount of protected land—both public and private—in strategic locations based on existing protected lands and high-quality habitat; 2) maximize the quality of this protected habitat through well-executed restoration and enhancement projects; and 3) increase public access to these unique habitats in this area of the state with relatively little public lands. Using funding provided by this appropriation, we advanced those goals by acquiring fee ownership of key additions to State Forest units, completing conservation easements over private lands with significant biodiversity, and taking on the most difficult initial phase to invasive brush control to restore important bluff prairie and savanna habitat.  Priorities for this program were informed by biodiversity data from the MN Biological Survey (MBS) along with a comprehensive, multi-partner watershed protection plan, the Root River Watershed Landscape Stewardship Plan (LSP). The LSP identified areas where program work would have the most impact for multiple benefits. MBS data identified areas with the greatest significance for biodiversity. From there, local knowledge of TNC and MLT staff, along with our DNR partners guided us to the most important opportunities in the program area.  In this Root River program, MLT strategically concentrated its land protection activities on high priority upland habitats, including bluff prairies, forests, savanna and high quality trout streams. MLT targeted private lands that helped fill gaps in existing protected land framework, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust sought donated easement value in these areas whenever possible but purchased easements that help complete key complexes as necessary. In subsequent grants in Southeast Minnesota, MLT transitioned to a competitive, market-based approach to identifying and securing conservation easements. Opportunities for fee acquisition under this appropriation became limited when the SNA program reversed a previous verbal agreement to accept a large property, the Rollie Tract (now 7 Springs WMA). The SNA program decided after funds had been awarded that the amount of restoration need on the property was not an appropriate fit for their program. The Rollie tract and associated restoration projects have since been completed in partnership with DNR Division of Wildlife using subsequent appropriations from LSOHC. SNA’s decision not to accept new acquisitions left State Forests as the only allowable partner for protection in fee under this appropriation, and it proved difficult to find enough opportunities that met with Division of Forestry’s priorities to utilize the funding leftover from the 7 Springs tract.  Original restoration and enhancement goals included acres that were intended to be acquired during this appropriation, including the 7 Springs Acquisition. When this appropriation was unable to be used on that site, TNC shifted focus away from restoration and towards enhancement projects. Resources were redirected towards much needed enhancement work on bluff prairies threatened by brush and red-cedar encroachment. These habitat types are critical components of the diversity of the region, and are at risk of being overrun by invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle and native red-cedar that have become aggressive in the absence of fire.  These sites were selected based on their positions within larger habitat complexes. TNC prioritized work in areas with several larger bluff prairie sites in proximity to each other with known timber rattlesnake dens, a Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Targeted sites can be maintained as part of a larger habitat complex, with prescribed fire utilized on a landscape scale to manage fire-dependent oak woodlands as well as the prairie and savanna sites. This creates diverse connected habitat that provides the full suite of habitat types used by rare herpetofauna and birds, as well as popular games species like deer and turkey. These connected complexes are also easier to manage at a landscape scale in a disturbance dependent landscape like Southeast MN. In partnership with DNR Forestry, as well as staff from DNR’s non-game program, TNC used a variety of methods to control invading brush and release the native prairie communities. On the most severe sites, contractor or CCM crews cut brush by hand, and burned the slash on site. This is difficult work on steep terrain, and was only conducted during the winter season to minimize the potential for rattlesnake encounters. The difficulty and cost of this work emphasize the need for treating sites before brush encroachment gets too severe, and also to follow up on recently cleared slopes to maximize its effectiveness. Prescribed grazing using goats has proven cost-effective on sites to treat new brush growth, giving grasses and forbs the opportunity to re-colonize areas where thick brush has been removed. On flatter areas, forestry mowers were used to treat undesirable woody vegetation over larger areas to return savanna conditions and facilitate the return of prescribed fire management.

The PTMApp will be used to identify and evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of best management/conservation practices in the watershed including treatment train scenarios, and provide estimates of sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus delivered (and subsequently treated) to the lake. The Drained Wetland Basin Inventory will identify the location of restorable wetlands in the watershed along with their volume, depth, and drainage area, which will be used to prioritize and target restoration efforts for multiple purposes including water quality, habitat, and flood damage reduction. Final project outcomes will be a targeted water quality improvement plan that includes the 100 most effective projects to improve water quality in the watershed based on cost and total load reduction to the lake. This project will directly compliment the efforts of the Roseau River WD and the MN DNR to implement the Roseau Lake Rehabilitation Project which will improve water quality and wildlife habitat, and reduce flood damages.

A secondary goal is to expand our participants’ artistic skills. These are the measurable short-range outcomes: To place at least 16 snow sculptures in Whiteside Park. To engage the public in the artists’ work. To create an atmosphere for collaboration and teamwork. To be family-friendly. These are the longer–range outcomes: To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts. To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists. To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry. The number of snow sculptures is easily counted, and the degree of engagement with the public is easily observed by Ely Winter Festival board members who will be in the park throughout the time when the carving is taking place. We will sponsor several group meals that are attended by artists and board members, and we will solicit feedback from artists informally at those events. Additionally, we will evaluate our success by soliciting feedback from other arts organizations (e.g., Northern Lakes Arts Association, Ely ArtWalk), the business community, and the general public. The first board meeting following the completion of the Festival is always open to the public for the express purpose of evaluation. We obtain lodging tax information from the Chamber of Commerce. Because lodging taxes are collected monthly, not weekly, it can be difficult to sort out the impact of the Festival itself, but year-over-year trends indicate a long-range positive impact.","These were the measurable short-range outcomes: To place at least 16 snow sculptures in Whiteside Park. To engage the public in the artists’ work. To create an atmosphere for collaboration and teamwork. To be family-friendly. We placed only 14 snow sculptures in Whiteside Park, and another at the Headquarters operation. However, teams were larger than anticipated and the number of carvers grew to 40. The public was clearly engaged in the artists’ work, as we could see from the number of people in the park watching them carve. We sponsored several group social events for carvers, and received positive feedback on their ability to collaborate with each other. All sculptures were judged to be family friendly. These were the longer–range outcomes of the Symposium and the Festival in general: To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts. To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists. To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry. We have several carvers who come back year after year, attesting for the long-range ability of the event to help participants grow as artists.

Films are played simultaneously in one large screening room and two smaller ones. We face three problems: a) communication, b) low filmmaker participation, and c) awkward transitions between films. Solutions: a) Filmmakers who attend take audience questions following their film. Since our venue has one large screening room and two smaller ones, the audience in the smaller rooms cannot fully participate. We propose to add closed-circuit video among all screening rooms. b) In order to increase the number of filmmakers attending, we propose to offer limited reimbursement for their expenses. c) Our projection equipment relies on outdated DVD technology, resulting in delays between films. We propose to rent available technology so that the audience will experience smooth transitions from one film to the next. We also hope to add a virtual reality experience. The Directors and volunteers of the Free Range Film Festival attend the film screenings and interact with the audience; audience members share comments and reactions which give a measure of the festival's success. We shall be alert to audience approval of interactive audio and video. The number of filmmakers attending has always been modest; we shall record how many more filmmakers attend given the promise of a limited subsidy for their travel expenses. Our technical staff will report on improvement in film transitions; we shall also ask for audience responses to this issue. We hand every audience member a program for the films that are being screened and this year we will include a short evaluation form with the program in order to document and measure our success and to help plan for future years.","We were able to screen 35 films and host 7 filmmakers for the weekend of our festival.

The following is a Facebook post by one of our visiting filmmakers: ""Quick wrap-up from this weekend and the Free Range Film Festival: Manlife found itself in a wonderful program of films sitting along short films about a woman who makes dioramas for snails, a man bio-hacking his gut bacteria, and our friends Kate and Jeremy's beautifully gut-wrenching animated short. It was a block of amazing films about people surviving on the fringe of society. The film was well received, and Manlife both looked and sounded beautiful. More films should play in 101-year-old barns. Afterwards the film was followed up with a very thoughtful question and answer session. Just can't say enough about the entire staff of volunteers that help run the Free Range Festival, they certainly go out of their way to make both filmmakers and audiences feel at home. They also send you home with the freshest swag bag!

We will chart these two metrics over the year hoping to see at least 10-percent growth in both statistics. In addition, we offer memberships to our listeners.

Analysis of the watershed land use indicates that large impervious sites are typically commercial properties (primarily retail), churches, and schools. The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations tend to be receptive to partnering with watershed districts. Commercial and school property owners, however, are often harder to access, and can also be harder to motivate into partnerships that result in implementation of stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMPs). This project will assist the District in identifying and assessing school sites for retrofit opportunities that will increase the District's ability to meet stormwater volume and nutrient reduction goals. This project will not only identify promising sites for retrofit BMPs on school sites throughout the District, but involve a series of conversations with school administrators about the potential for partnering on project implementation, now and into the future. An important part of this project involves interaction with both public and private schools to introduce the District and its goals, determine the schools' willingness to partner with the District, identify barriers to installation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs, identify ways to reduce or eliminate barriers, and to generally lay the groundwork for the District to effectively work with schools into the future.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/school-site-assessment-bmp-rettrofit,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO

In the Prairie Section of Minnesota, 90% of our prairie wetlands have been drained and most native prairie uplands lost to agriculture. The wetland basins that remain are often large, deep wetlands and shallow lakes that now receive heavy runoff and drainage from the intensively cultivated landscape that surrounds them. Some of our remaining wetland and shallow lake basins are surrounded in whole or part by state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), while others exist in on private land nearby, sometimes in a partially-drained condition. Landscape drainage, intensive cultivation of the prairie landscape, and invasive fish such as carp has degraded these remaining wetlands and shallow lakes into turbid waters which provide only limited habitat benefit to migrating and brood-rearing waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife, and poor outdoor recreational opportunities for Minnesota duck hunters. To remedy in-basin nutrient cycling that leads to turbidity and degraded waterfowl habitat conditions, DU partners with Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service managers to enhance, restore, and actively manage shallow lakes and wetlands through temporary water level draw-downs to consolidate sediments and nutrients, reduce and remove invasive fish, improve water clarity, and enhance the aquatic ecology in some shallow lake and large wetland basins under their control. DU actively supports these efforts by providing bio-engineering technical assistance and delivering water control structures through other OHF appropriations. However, as agriculture intensifies and pressures to convert idle land into row-crop production and other purposes grow, restoring land around these public lands containing wetlands and shallow lakes is also desperately needed to help buffer them, restore their watersheds, improve prairie-wetland habitat complexes, and meet the goals of Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. This program strives to buffer our remaining shallow lakes and wetlands on public land by acquiring and restoring lands immediately surrounding them. Some private land adjacent to our state WMAs containing remaining wetlands and shallow lakes include patches of native prairie or are restored cropland enrolled in the USDA’s short-term Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), but remain vulnerable to conversion back to agriculture due to rising row-crop and land prices, and need permanent protection. Other private lands are intensively cultivated right up to the edge of shallow lakes and wetlands, or to the edge of state WMAs containing such basins, and need to be restored and permanently protected. While some of these lands can be restored and protected thru the state or federal conservation easement programs, many other parcels come on the market for sale and must be acquired in fee-title in order to restore and protect them in perpetuity. This Phase 3 of Ducks Unlimited's facilitative public land acquisition and restoration program focused on acquiring and restoring land adjoining state WMAs with shallow lakes and wetlands. Acquisition of these lands are for state public land ownership and management to further buffer WMAs with wetland basins and to create or improve the size of wetland complexes, restore and preserve prairie uplands and small wetlands around shallow lakes and WMAs, and make new shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects possible. Through this Phase 3 grant portion of our program, DU acquired (and restored where necessary) 11 parcels of land totaling 567 acres in seven different counties within the southern Prairie Section. These parcels included 135 acres of wetlands and 432 acres of upland habitat. This total of 567 acres acquired surpassed our projected goal for this grant of 400 acres, and thus this Phase 3 of our prairie land protection program was highly successful. All lands acquired have been transferred to the state of Minnesota for inclusion in state Wildlife Management Areas managed by the Minnesota DNR for wildlife management purposes, and are open to the public for outdoor recreational opportunities.",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Freeborn, Le Sueur, Martin, Meeker, Nicollet","Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lake-wetland-protection-program-phase-iii,,,,

This accomplishment exceeded our 900-acre goal, was $81,225 under budget, and included a 644-acre parcel (one square mile) on the Swessinger WMA in Nobles County, a 285-acre parcel on the Rooney Run WMA in Martin County, and a 75-acre land parcel on Sanborn Lake WMA in Le Sueur County. ",,"This grant began in July 2015, and over the course of eight years, DU successfully acquired and restored three parcels of land totally 1,004 acres, and exceeded our 900-acre OHF grant goal.  These land acquisition and restoration accomplishments through this ML2015 OHF appropriation included the 644-acre Jones Tract on Swessinger WMA in Nobles County purchased in October 2015, the 75-acre Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA in Le Sueur County purchased in December 2015, and the 285-acre Krahmer Tract on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County purchased in January 2016. DU worked diligently appraise and arrange for each of these land acquisitions through Phase 3 of our program so that each could be purchase in a timely manner shortly after this OHF grant for our Phase 4 program was was appropriated.  All three tracts were transferred to the Minnesota DNR in spring 2016 as restoration planning and implementation began. Restoration of the smaller 75-acre Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA in LeSueur County was completed promptly in spring 2016 by a contractor seeding 25 acres of cropland back to native prairie grass and forbs with a native plant seeding drill. No wetland restorations were possible on this relatively small parcel, but existing wetlands were protected, and the acquisition adds more WMA habitat land around Sanborn Lake, which DU subsequently enhanced through another OHF grant program. Restoration of the other two larger parcels took longer to survey, design, plan, get permitted, and implement due to their size and complexity, and work continued through the end of 2020. In each case, DU purchased a diverse mix of native seed for each tract with guidance from Minnesota DNR prairie ecologists and biologists, and DU engineers were required to help restore multiple large wetlands on each. On the 644-acre Jones Tract at Swessinger WMA in Nobles County, restoration work began with Minnesota DNR field staff seeding 52 acres of the tract back to native grass and forbs in December 2015. DU then purchased a large quantity of additional native seed (100 different species) to restore over 500 additional upland and wetland acres of the tract in fall 2016 (based on expert guidance from Minnesota DNR prairie ecologists and wildlife biologists), which Minnesota DNR Wildlife staff broadcast seeded onto the site in fall 2016.  At the same time, a private contractor hired by DU began wetland restorations in November 2016 and work continued until the ground froze in December 2016.  Most wetlands were restored on the site by end of December 2016 except three larger wetland basins affecting county and township roads, which were later restored in 2018 and 2019 after DU and DNR negotiated with Nobles County and Bloom Township to develop mutually-acceptable restoration plans for each basin that maximized wetland hydrology restoration while meeting road safety and integrity concerns of the local units of government.  All wetland work was eventually completed in fall 2019. On the 285-acre Krahmer Tract on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County, DU hired a private contractor to ""snow-seed"" native plant seed on 200 acres of former cropland on Rooney Run WMA in March 2016. Wetland restorations on Rooney Run WMA were complex and involved disrupting 30 miles of subsurface pattern tile and altering a large county drainage tile, which required extensive engineering, and approval of Martin County.  DU worked closely with Martin County, which approved legal judicial ditch modification required to alter county tile and restore wetlands, and DU hired a contractor to perform the wetland restoration work in summer/fall 2020. All work was completed by end of December 2020 as required, within 5 years of when the land was purchased in early January, 2016. In summary, DU successfully completed acquisition and restoration of all three large land acquisition projects totaling 1,004 acres (above our 900-acre goal), transferred them to MNDNR, and completed restoration of each of them by December 31, 2020.  DU completed restoration of all three parcels too.  Total acres protected was 248 wetland acres and 758 upland acres, much of which required restoration as most of each tract was cropland, except for the Gintner Tract on Sanborn Lake WMA.   This work was completed $81,225 under OHF budget and included $532,860 in non-state private DU and federal NAWCA funds.  The $81,225 unspent of this state appropriation was returned to the OHF, and was the result of competitive contractor prices to restore wetlands on Rooney Run WMA in Martin County in 2020 due to the C19 pandemic, along with an infusion of more private and federal NAWCA grant funds than originally anticipated ($532,860, well above the $60,000 in ""leverage"" originally pledged back in 2015).

",,"The Phase IV Habitat Restoration Projects were competed and all objectives and outcomes were met. Specifically the projects, and the processes and methods to completed them are listed below. The projects in this phase were successful due to partnering resources with USFWS and MN DNR staff, as well as having supporting landowners willing to make a difference in Minnesota's natural resources. For the Wedge Creek Wetland acquisition, the District worked with a willing seller to enter into an option to purchase agreement. Once signed, the District hired consultants to complete a survey and then an appraisal of the property. The District then made an offer to the landowner that was accepted and the option to purchase was executed. This property closed in April of 2019 and protects approximately 20 acres. There is funding in Phase 6 of the Habitat Restoration Program to complete the wetland restoration work of the property before it is turned over to the DNR for ownership. The Wedge Creek Reach 6 River Restoration completed approximately 3,000 linear feet of streambank restoration work that included boulder retards, rock weirs, vortex weirs, sloped and seeded banks which created retention areas and scouring pools for habitat in public waters. The District worked with an engineering firm to design the project and sourced a contractor following state procurement procedures. For the Upper Twin Lake pumping station the District worked with the USFWS and MN DNR via a Memorandum of Understanding to complete the project. The work included installing a pumping feature to dewater the 550 acre Upper Twin Lake into Lower Twin Lake to allow for lake management following the lake management plan. Dewatering of the lake allows for carp and vegetation management to improve game fish populations and waterfowl habitat. The District followed procurement procedures for construction of the project and it was completed in 2020. The Upper and Lower Twin Lake project again worked with the MN DNR to compete projects on public lands and public waters. Both Upper and Lower Twin lakes are shallow lakes infested with Common Carp. The District worked to install a rock fish barrier to prevent carp from entering the 895 acres of the Twin Lakes system. As part of this project, the District also worked on a streambank downstream and completed approximately 7,500 linear feet of restoration. Work included installing rootwads, cross channel logs, toe rock installation and connecting historic floodplains. The last project in the Phase 4 Habitat Restoration Program was the Pickerel Lake Adjustable Outlet. This project partnered with MN DNR to incorporate a fish passage and variable crest structure to allow for management of 570 acres of Pickerel Lake and allow Northern Pike to reenter the lake for spawning.

The project includes a combination of structural water quality improvements in the SLV-10 subwatershed north of the lake, retrofits (including iron enhanced sand filtration) to the Silver Lake bioretention basin, small scale best management practices (BMPs) throughout the watershed, and educational signage in Joy Park. The elements of this project will reduce phosphorus loading to Silver Lake by a combined 15 pounds per year or 40% of the current watershed load. This project will lower phosphorus concentrations and increase the frequency with which Silver Lake meets applicable Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) and MPCA water quality standards. Silver Lake is a 76-acre shallow lake bordering the cities of North St. Paul, Maplewood, and Oakdale in the VBWD. The lake receives runoff from an approximately 350-acre watershed of primarily residential land use. The lake is heavily used for recreation, including swimming and fishing. This intensive use is due in part to the presence of two parks adjacent to the lake: North St. Paul's Silver Lake Park along the south shore and Maplewood's Joy Park along the north shore. Other recreational uses include waterskiing, canoeing, and aesthetic viewing. Water quality in Silver Lake over the past 10 years has declined, as witnessed by a statistically significant increase in phosphorus concentrations and decrease in water clarity. The most recent 10-year average of total phosphorus concentration in Silver Lake is worse than the applicable MPCA standard, and the lake may be listed as impaired due to nutrients.

Yet, county, watershed, and other state, tribal, and local agencies charged with enforcement and permit review often work in silos and infrequently coordinate with each other or share information. This leads to higher enforcement costs, conflicts between agencies, redundancy of inspections, property owner frustration, and reinforces negative stereotypes of regulatory agencies. The SSMAP seeks to break down barriers to communication and improve the regulatory process by creating an on-line, multi-agency permit application and data management program that is linked to property records and which simultaneously sends permit applications and notifications to the appropriate agencies and organizations. The SSMAP will automatically populates permit databases and updates property records. It can be routinely updated to provide links to the local SCWD and other sites that offer cost share, technical assistance, or design recommendations. Applicants will only need to fill out a single application which will be automatically routed to the County, watershed district, and SWCD. While SSMP program will not replace the hands-on service some community member demand, it provides an alternative for the over 30% of the property owners in Becker County do not live in the county or for those property owners who are unable to take time off from work when government offices are open. The SSMAP allows property owners and contractors to apply and receive permits on-line -saving them time and money. Regulatory staff will be able to review applications with fewer interruptions and will be better able to collaborate on permit approval, inspections, and enforcement. Technical assistance agencies will be notified as soon as permits are submitted providing more opportunity to work with property owners in the design of land and shoreline alterations.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Peter,Mead,"Becker County",,,,,218-846-7360,pemead@co.becker.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Becker,,"Buffalo River, Crow Wing River, Mississippi River - Headwaters, Otter Tail River, Redeye River, Wild Rice River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/single-site-multi-agency-permitting-ssmap-program,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",No

This precision conservation method will establish a proactive approach to identifying sites for implementing conservation practices based on their relative contribution to surface water impairments. Precision tools used to identify and target sites will reduce lengthy field verification process, increase the efficiency of assessing individual sites and reduce overall cost. High priority locations within each drainage system will be verified through site visits. Data will then be submitted to all the partners and be available to the public. The information collected from this analysis will be instrumental in future conservation projects and programs and identify sites for the ditch authority to implement vegetative buffer strips and side inlet controls.

The project will result in increased public access and expanded habitat complexes critical to the state. ",,"This project has two primary components: fee title acquisition of priority parcels, and restoration and enhancement of prairie and forest habitat in important complexes of protected habitat. Work done using this appropriation accomplished both of those objectives. The Nature Conservancy used funds from this appropriation in acquiring 531 acres of land in fee from 5 landowners. These acquisition added 287 acres to 7 springs Wildlife Management Area (WMA) and Whitewater WMA under ownership of MN DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife and 244 acres to the Brightsdale and Gribben Creek units of the RJ Dorer Memorial Hardwood Forest under the Division of Forestry. This new public land protects over 3 miles of trout stream frontage, along with important forest and bluff prairie habitat. TNC worked closely with DNR in prioritizing and acquiring all of these units, and performing important restoration and enhancement work after acquisition. Restoration and enhancement through this appropriation occurred both on tracts acquired with LSOHC funds, where TNC restored or enhanced 291 acres of forest and 110 acres of prairie, and other publicly owned land, where TNC completed projects that restored or enhanced 88 acres of forest and 226 acres of prairie. TNC worked with DNR staff, Conservation Corps MN, and local contractors to remove encroaching brush from large bluff prairies and oak savanna on several parcels. We used prescribed goat grazing to control buckthorn and honeysuckle on bluff prairies previously cleared, where a seedbank of invasive brush was threatening the restored site. We also treated invasive species in fire-dependent oak woods surrounding prairie areas, allowing future prescribed fire to manage larger areas and maintain the diverse transition zone that includes prairie, savanna and oak forest. On several sites where bluff prairies had previously been restored, a seedbank of invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle was threatening the restorations. On these sites, TNC worked closely with staff from the Non-Game program within DNR to use prescribed goat grazing to control the encroaching brush. Repeated goat grazing is proving effective at defoliating brush on restored prairie sites that are difficult to treat through other means due to the challenging terrain. Defoliating the brush during the growing season both gradually weakens the undesirable species and frees resources for the desired grass community to re-establish on these sites. Over time, the expanding grass component will better carry fire and make prescribed burning more effective. Both forest and prairie communities were restored on former agricultural fields, where the restoration not only added new acres of habitat, but reconnected existing habitat that had been fragmented by cropland. Prairies were planted by broadcasting seed on bare ground in early winter to allow natural scarification over the winter. Forest sites fields were planted through direct seeding in order to provide the best chance of having sufficient seedlings survive the expected impacts of deer browsing. Finally, funds from this appropriation were necessary to remove structures from a large acquisition project purchase with subsequent LSOHC grants. Removing the buildings is a necessary step in returning the site to a natural condition where additional prairie and forest communities can be restored along several miles of Rush Creek in Fillmore County. Working closely with partners was key to the success of this program. TNC worked with other local stakeholders including Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), DNR staff from multiple agencies, local contractors, and landowners in identifying opportunities, prioritizing projects, and completing them effectively. The collaboration built through this effort continues to benefit ongoing work funded through LSOHC and helps inform other conservation initiatives, such as local water planning and habitat monitoring carried out by other entities. TNC is committed to staying engaged in Southeast Minnesota and continuing the successful work of this partnership.

",,"With this appropriation, DNR Wildlife and Forestry staff used a range of forest enhancement techniques to increase the quality of habitat for a range of wildlife species.  These techniques and their objectives are listed below.   Invasive species removal – There are numerous invasive species in the southeast.  Buckthorn may be the species doing the most damage to these forests, but there are other shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants that also affect forest productivity and diversity.  In many cases, this is done shortly after a tree harvest to try to catch invasives at the establishment phase instead of once they have become well-established.  Understory mowing – This is another type of invasive control used where the invasive species are so dense and the patches so large that chemical treatment or hand-work just isn’t reasonable.   Tree thinning – Tree thinning is the selective removal of less desirable species, either for timber production or wildlife benefits, that outcompete more desirable species.  With less competition, these more desirable species are able to grow and reach maturity much faster as well as produce more mast for food.  In some cases, certain trees can be girdled, killing them, but leave them standing.  These trees can provide cavities for wildlife.  However, this technique isn’t used near trails or roads where the tree which will eventually falls could damage property or injure people.   Tree release –  Often 'release' is a term used when enhancing mixed hardwood stands and thinning is more often used in areas heavily dominated by a single tree species.  The two are variations on a theme but with the same ultimate goal.  For instance, if an oak and boxelder or basswood are growing close together, a wildlife biologist might cut the boxelder or basswood and release the oak to grow faster and produce more acorns.   Seedling planting – With this method seedlings of the desired species are planted in an area.  By planting seedlings, the trees get a 1-2 year head start on overgrowing other competing vegetation.   Direct seeding – Direct seeding is used with mast species such as oaks where seeds are harvested and then directed spread onto the soil surface.  With this method, wildlife managers can do relatively larger acres than with seedling planting.  The determination of which of these two methods is most effective is made on a site by site basis.   Herbicide release – Herbicide release is often used to knock back herbaceous vegetation that can shade the soil surface and discourage seed germination or stump/root sprouting.

Through the Wakefield Lake TMDL process, implementation activities have been identified which include partnerships with the City of Maplewood to install BMPs in the watershed to directly benefit Wakefield Lake. RWMWD has researched, monitored and field tested the use of spent lime for stormwater quality treatment. Spent lime consists of calcium and carbonate and is a byproduct of the drinking water treatment process that has properties that allow it to bind with dissolved phosphorus. When water containing dissolved phosphorus contacts the lime material, calcium from the lime binds with the phosphorus and forms calcium phosphate which is a solid material and does not dissolve in the storm water, thus remaining within the treatment system. Although this is still an emerging concept, three years of monitoring a test spent lime system has shown promising results for the removal of both total and dissolved phosphorus. Total phosphorus removal through the system is approximately 60% and total dissolved phosphorus removal is approximately 70%. With the help of this grant source, RWMWD hopes to install a full scale spent lime filtration system on a City of Maplewood owned lot just upstream of Wakefield Lake at the southwest corner of Frost Avenue and Kennard Street to treat stormwater flow before it reaches the lake.

Purchase of these lands from willing landowners for addition to the state park and trail system makes them permanently available for public recreation and enjoyment and facilitates more efficient management. Additional benefits include preserving contiguous wildlife corridors, facilitating preservation and restoration of native plant communities and cultural resources, reducing impacts of future development, and providing riparian buffers along wetlands, creeks, and lakes. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using this appropriation to fund the acquisition of approximately 245 acres to add to the state park and trail system, which includes: 50 acres for Great River Bluffs State Park in Winona County; 115 acres for Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area in Crow County; and 80 acres for the Mill Towns State Trail in Rice County",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2013/work_plans/2013_04a.pdf,2013-07-01,2016-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Jennifer,Christie,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5579",jennifer.christie@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Crow Wing, Kandiyohi, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Wabasha",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/state-parks-and-state-trails-land-acquisition,,,,

As of October 2022, the MDA has cumulatively engaged >18,000 ag producers, crop advisors and Local Government Units at >450 education and outreach events. Implemented 677 Nutrient Management Initiative field trials in 2015-2021 Worked with an average of 98 farmers and 27 crop advisers each year on nutrient management trials The MDA maintains 20 active edge-of-field water quality monitoring stations around the state. Edge of Field data has been used for a variety of computer simulation and model calibrations including PTMApp, Adapt-N, SWAT, and the Runoff Risk Advisory Tool. Data are used to support the State’s Watershed Approach and referenced in numerous WRAPs reports. Data from Discovery Farms Minnesota, the Root River Field to Stream Partnership, the Clay County Drainage Site and Red River Valley Drainage Water Management have all been shared with local, state and national partners. Data has been used in peer-reviewed journal articles, large meta-analysis and to engage local farmers and discuss the effectiveness of conservation practices. The Root River Field to Stream Partnership (RRFSP) has helped identify critical areas and worked with farmers to implement conservation practices. This project has helped install and support: Over 105,000 feet of grassed waterways 15 new water and sediment control basins and catchment ponds Rehabilitation of an outdated flood control structure Planting of 370 acres of cover crops Feedlot improvements include an increase in manure storage to reduce manure applications on frozen soil, moving milk house wastewater systems, and abandonment of a feedlot in a high-risk location The highest runoff risk field in one of the study areas (80 acres) was enrolled into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). An additional 50 acres was enrolled in other areas. Over 50% of the highest priority conservation practices were addressed by the end of 2017, about 70% addressed as of end of 2022. $1.8 million in state and federal conservation funds were distributed across three watersheds over a five-year period (60% on vegetative & structural practices, 40% on feedlot & manure waste improvements) In the glacial till headwaters watershed, 64% of the High Risk Area has been treated (after 2021), prior to 2018 only 8% of the High Risk Area had been treated. The RRFSP has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $5 million in private, state, and federal dollars to support conservation efforts. If CWF dollars from other agencies is excluded, over $3.5 million has been leveraged.                                                                                                                                                                               The Red River Valley Drainage Water Management Project (RRV DWM) is evaluating drainage water management on operating farms as a practice to mitigate flooding and add water quality and quantity benefits. The project has shown that:  Controlled drainage is a viable option in the lake bottom landscape of the Red River Basin During 2017-2020, controlled drainage reduced nitrate-N losses by 22% and reduced drainage volume by over 13% compared to conventional subsurface drainage During 2018-2020, a saturated buffer had capacity to treat 92% of the drainage water from an 11-acre research field and removed over 76% of the nitrate in the drainage water (including water through the bypass) Since 2015, nearly 3,500 people have been engaged in RRV DWM outreach presentations, and field days/events. (Overall: 49 presentations, 19 field days/events, 4 poster displays, 2 trade journal articles, 3 publications/reports, 2 data requests) The RRV DWM has leveraged Clean Water Fund dollars with over $1 million in private, Local Government Unit and federal dollars to support drainage research and outreach. Project is a partner site for the USDA-funded $5M Transforming Drainage project.

For example, the DNR might sample stream fish to assess whether the agency’s management activities such as fishing regulations or stocking are creating good angling opportunities for the public, while MPCA might sample fish to assess whether a stream meets regulatory standards for a healthy fish community. Even though the reasons for collecting information between agencies may differ, the information collected by each agency could help the other to better fulfill its mission without needing collect it themselves. However, at present the MPCA has its own database for storing stream information, while the DNR has no central location to store information. This project will develop a database that will store DNR's stream data, and will use a format that facilitates sharing of stream information between the agencies. A further goal is to increase public access to information by eventually developing of a webpage similar to the DNR’s Lakefinder that will allow easy access to stream information from multiple agencies. Because each program often has different reasons or methods for collecting and information on streams, the project must account for each program’s needs while maintaining a structure where data can be shared. When complete, the new database and data sharing capability will allow for better access to available data on streams that will better inform stream and watershed management decisions by the DNR, the MPCA, other potential partners, and the public.","State agencies collect stream monitoring data for a variety of different purposes in carrying out their mission. However, monitoring data held by each program that could be used by others to better manage streams is located in multiple places that are not easily accessible from outside the agency or program that collected the data, making it difficult to know what data is available and how to access it. A common format and means for information sharing that serves multiple programs will help to ensure more efficient and effective use of stream data by making information readily available to more potential users.",,2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,"Brian ",Nerbonne,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resrouces","500 Lafayette Road","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5205",brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Assessment/Evaluation, Digitization/Online Information Access","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/stream-monitoring-database,,,,

These areas will then be targeted for future resource management efforts, Clean Water Fund projects, and additional conservation activities. Project deliverables include: summarizing physical and socioeconomic characteristics of the area of interest, evaluation of land use trends and potential effects on water quality, stream power index, digital analysis of shoreline erosion potential, distributed soil loss (RUSLE) calculations, developing sediment delivery budgets and creating nutrient delivery indices. These products will improve the targeting strategies for conservation practices and better evaluate the potential impacts of such measures. The stormwater assessment and design will define catchment areas and identify potential treatment opportunities in cities and towns adjacent to surface waters in the member counties. Site visits by local staff will be conducted to verify information used to complete modeling and initial design. The resulting cost/benefit analyses of the potential stormwater treatment practices will be delivered to the community and incorporated into local water management plans.

I plan on capturing 40 three- to five-star Milky Way shots with each lens within the first year of owning them. With the 20mm, I'll capture shots with detailed foregrounds. With the 35mm, I'll capture pictures of the galactic core. I currently have a Milky Way presentation that I give to Milky Way Photography students and that is available for photography clubs. The missing component is how to photograph the galactic core and how to use fast lenses to capture both the Milky Way and a visible foreground. I will use the lenses to add four slides on each subject to my Milky Way presentation. Because my measurable outcomes are based on numbers, the method of evaluating the outcomes will be to see if I achieve those numbers. For the goal of taking 40 three- to five-star images, I'll count the number of images at the end of the year. The difficulty with Milky Way images is that the Milky Way is photograph-able with perfect weather for about 7 to 10 days a month. With average weather, that drops to 3 to 5 days a month. During a typical Milky Way outing, I capture 2 to 3 three- to five-star images. Typically, I make it to 2 to 3 locations a night. From November to April, the galactic core is below the horizon, so those months are less than ideal. That gives me a pace of 6 to 7 images a month from May to October to reach my goal. My first scheduled Night Photography Workshop in 2016 is in August.

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

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

These installations filled rooms as can be seen in my slides. My consummate goal from here into the future is to utilize and display more of these surrounding peripheral elements that make for more encompassing and multi-sensory exhibitions.

Of the amount appropriated to the Board of Water and Soil Resources, $49,900 is for a grant to the Morrison County Soil and Water Conservation District and up to $33,600 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17.

",,4088000,"ACUB ",3048000,,,,"BWSR; DNR","State Government","Fourteen permanent RIM Easements on 766 acres of high quality, riparian and forested habitat  have been recorded and will provide lasting wildlife habitat. Attempts were made to acquire three tracts in fee title that would have relied on this funding.  The owner of one tract rejected an offer of the certified appraised value.  Acquisition attempts on the other two tracts were discontinued when it became apparent that the planned use of the land as DNR Wildlife Management Area would be incompatible with local government plans for future municipal growth. Dollars budget for fee title acquisition will be returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. Over the life of the ACUB program the Department of Defense has contributed over $30M towards easement acquisition. For this particular phase over $4M in federal funding was leveraged making a fed:state ratio of 2.7:1.  ",,"The purpose of this initiative was to protect fish, migratory birds, big game, and oak habitat along the Crow Wing, Gull, Nokasippi, and Mississippi Rivers via fee title acquisitions and conservation easements. These river corridors are also very vulnerable to habitat degradation due to the potential for development. The Camp Ripley military training center is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 19 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage that provide habitat for many species including 45 Species of Greatest Conservation Need. This project will build upon existing Camp Ripley partnership success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provides funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center, water quality and wildlife habitat. As of this writing the ACUB program has protected over 25,000 acres through conservation easements and fee title including 204 RIM easements totaling over 22,000 acres. In 2013 alone BWSR received $4,088,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army ACUB funds for easement acquisition. As of this writing, over the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications.The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time.

The 7-acre lake receives runoff from a 175-acre urban watershed that was developed in the 1950's and currently provides very little stormwater treatment. The eastern shoreline is within Thompson County Park, which features a fishing pier, event center, and miles of regionally connected trails. The west shoreline of the lake abuts the St. Croix Lutheran School. Thompson Lake is impaired for recreational use due to excessive nutrients, and is on the MPCA's 2014 Impaired Waters list. A watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS) study and total maximum daily load (TMDL) developed from 2012 to 2014 identified watershed runoff as the primary source of phosphorus to the lake; the TMDL identified a phosphorus waste load reduction of 30% necessary to achieve MPCA water quality standards. The proposed project will treat stormwater runoff prior to discharge into Thompson Lake, thereby reducing phosphorus concentrations in the lake, improving lake clarity, and leading to removal from the Impaired Waters list. The project includes construction of a series of upland stormwater basins at the north end of the lake, inside Thompson County Park, to treat runoff from 83% of the watershed (145 acres). The project will include sediment forebays at storm sewer outfalls, a stormwater wetland/pond, and a stormwater reuse irrigation system that draws water from the wetland and irrigates nearby parkland. Water quality modeling indicates that the proposed project will reduce phosphorus loading to the lake by 39%, achieving the waste load reduction identified in the TMDL. The project will provide additional public benefits including native habitat enhancement, education opportunities, trail improvements, and improved aesthetics. The project will be completed in partnership with the City of West St. Paul and Dakota County.

The intent of this effort is to complete a pilot project to a legal ditch system that is in disrepair and use it as an example to educate landowners along other legal ditches on the importance of water quality. This pilot project consists of the construction of berms and side inlet culverts for sediment control along Traverse County Ditch #17 (TCD 17) and its single branch (B1) . This modification, also known as a retrofit, will be completed as a repair under MN Statues 103E.021, Subd. 6 which will ensure these erosion control features become a permanent part of the legal ditch. TCD 17 flows west to east and outlets into Twelve Mile Creek eight miles northeast of Wheaton, MN. Twelve Mile Creek flows north to the Mustinka River which ultimately enters Lake Traverse. Twelve Mile Creek and the Mustinka River have well documented issues regarding the exceedance of TMDL for turbidity, phosphorus, and overall poor biota. TCD 17 has a watershed of approximately 4.5 square miles, the land is used primarily for agricultural production. Berms and intercept culverts along legal ditch systems help to prevent sediment transport at the source and reduce turbidity downstream. The TCD 17 retrofit is aimed to be the first of many legal ditch retrofit projects within the BdSWD . By completing this retrofit it is estimated to reduce sediment loading by 340 tons/year and phosphorus loading by 700 lbs/year while working to restore and protect water resources for public use and public health.

This twin spire church, built by a Danish Congregation, has rooted itself in the lives of many area descendants, all now participating in the rescue of this property. Contractors conducted extensive research, including a site visit to Henning, MN to prepare an eligibility study of the Trinity Lutheran Church building, for possible inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Their visit to Henning included exploration of the Trinity building, investigation of original newspapers and church records from the time the Trinity Church was built in 1898, and discussions with members of the ""Save The Trinity"" Board. They also conducted extensive research at MHS and other locations in Minnesota. Given the historic significance of this building in Henning, MN, the community sees the value is saving this building from destruction and preserving an important piece of local History. Since ""Save The Trinity"" acquired this property one year ago, they have already taken steps to repair the leaky roof, stop ground water penetration into the foundation, and remove mold and asbestos from the basement. By taking these steps now, they have put a stop to additional deterioration and made it possible to continue restoration with the help they hope will come from our listing on the Nation Register of Historic Places.",,,2015-12-01,2016-12-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Daniel,Broten,"City of Henning","612 Front Street",Henning,MN,56551,312-961-0728,danielbroten@mac.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,"Otter Tail",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/trinity-lutheran-church-national-register-evaluation,,,,0

This project will inventory the existing public drainage systems and develop a targeting program to measure, prioritize and target the factors causing the water quality problems of Two Rivers Lake (impaired for nutrients) in Stearns County. With public access and a county park on the lake, it is a destination for fisherman in the area. The majority of the 39,400 acre watershed is agricultural land with highly modified surface and subsurface drainage. The existing 13 miles of public drainage systems will be inventoried. Ditches will be walked and evaluated for existing buffers, active erosion, sedimentation concerns and potential conservation practice sites. A high resolution water quality model will also be created using terrain, land use, precipitation data, soils, wetlands, etc. to prioritize water storage and treatment opportunities within the watershed. After identifying and prioritizing targeted sites through this planning and modeling process, the Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District will contact and work with landowners to discuss potential options to address identified problems. Creating a detailed drainage system database with targeted critical source areas will assure that future implemented projects are effective towards meeting State water quality standards for Two Rivers Lake.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe – will decline to a point beyond recovery.These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. As languages are inherently inseparable from individual and communal identity, they are difficult to eradicate from a culture.  Severing the people from their lands, denying them sustenance, and forcing them into English-only boarding schools was not successful in destroying these languages.  For more than 100 years such assaults were aggressively pursued as the official policy of federal and state governments in the United States in attempt to eradicate the languages, and yet the languages of the Dakota and Ojibwe people survive.  The survival of Dakota and Ojibwe languages, however, remains threatened. Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations.","The purpose of this grant is to expand the American Indian Studies curriculum offerings to include greater language practice and introduce theories of language development and revitalization to support more college students to fluency in language and culture. Develop advanced Ojibwe language curriculum to allow intermediate Anishinaabe speakers to become more advanced and fluent in the language at UMM. Support a pre-doctoral level fellow to develop curriculum and begin to offer Beginning Dakota I and II at UMM. Create a structure to support the development of leaders within the higher education academy who are grounded in Dakota and Anishinaabe values and prepared to lead college-level language revitalization efforts in partnership with the area tribal communities.

Their destruction and deterioration threaten the high quality of life in Ramsey County and could require expensive restoration and remediation practices to repair. The Ramsey Conservation District used GIS technology and modeling systems to identify the most cost-effective catchments to install Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in nutrient-impaired Wakefield Lake.

However, it is unsustainable to continue dredging the harbor without also addressing the sources of upstream sediment within the Warroad River watershed. As such, there is a significant need to quantify the sources of sediment and to target specific upstream sediment management practices to address the sediment issues. The proposed project will analyze the in-channel sediment budget of the Warroad River and how it affects the Warroad River harbor area (Reach of Interest (ROI)). The results of this project will supplement the recently completed Sediment Source Assessment Report of the Warroad River (HEI, 2013) which quantified sediment source contribution from overland sources. This project will also build upon work to target projects with measurable benefits to LOW done as part of the LOW Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS).

Seven (7) of these analyses are intensive subwatershed studies that distinguish stream sources from other sources of sediment in impaired streams to help partners identify catchments where upland restoration efforts stream restoration efforts or a combination will be most effective. Collaborated with MPCA and local partners on the above. MPCA and partners use the information to better understand biological and water quality impairments improve pollutant load calculations and help identify enduring multiple-benefit solutions that address root causes and promote watershed health and resilience. Completed a major project to standardize streamline and enhance DNR hydrology and stream geomorphology contributions: Finished developing a consistent repeatable method of evaluation to quantify the degree of hydrologic change in a watershed and related impacts to flooding channel-forming flows and biological community health. Staff piloted the evaluation in six (6) major watersheds. In five (5) other major watersheds staff applied a new consistent and repeatable process developed in FY19 to identify subwatersheds where an intensive study of stream stability and sediment supply would be most fruitful for discussion with local partners.

Up to $280,000 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17.

This program exceeded by 862 acres the amount proposed for the grant. Total leverage through donated easements by landowners is estimated at $1,209,700, all in excess of that proposed.",,"Of all of Minnesota’s wildlife habitat types, wetlands and shallow lakes provide the essential backbone for the survival of waterfowl and other important wildlife species. In fact, more than 50% of the amphibians and birds listed in Minnesota’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy as species in greatest conservation need (SGCN) use wetlands during their life cycle.  Most of the plans developed to protect Minnesota’s wildlife—including Minnesota’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy, the Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan, Minnesota Prairie Plan and the Long Range Duck Recovery Plan—cite the protection and restoration the state’s remaining wetlands as one of the top priorities to achieve the State’s conservation goals.  Moreover, these plans cite the use of conservation easements on private lands as one of the primary strategies to protect important wetland and shallow lake habitat. In this first phase of its Wetland Habitat Protection Program, the Land Trust concentrated its activities toward protecting through conservation easements the important wetland and associated upland habitats within its Edge of the Prairie Critical Landscape. This landscape, which extends from Meeker County northwest to Becker County, is located at the edge of the once vast prairies of western Minnesota as they transition to the woods and forests that dominate the eastern portion of the State.  The prairie pothole lakes and associated wetlands within this landscape form the backbone of one of the continent’s most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. Through this grant, the Land Trust protected 1,962 acres of high priority wetland and associated upland habitats and nearly 15 miles of shoreland along lakes, streams and rivers by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners. This exceeded the proposed target output by 862 acres. The program targeted projects that helped fill gaps in existing public ownership, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust accepted three fully donated easements, negotiated bargain sale purchases for an additional ten easements, and purchased one at full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $1,209,705, all in excess of that proposed. This value was substantiated in all fourteen easements through appraisals. The success of the program in producing high levels of donated value was due in part to both the high levels of interest among landowners in participating in the program, and the use of a novel ranking system and market-based approach for purchasing conservation easements. This market-based approach was developed through the Land Trust's work with St. John’s University in the Avon Hills.  Under this system, potential parcels for easement purchase were prioritized based on their value to wetland protection, proximity to other protected parcels, MCBS data and other appropriate criteria while allowing targeted landowners to select the price necessary for them to protect their property with an easement. Those properties with the best ratio of environmental benefits to easement cost became the highest priority for acquisition.  Through this grant, the Land Trust has significantly built on its past 15 years of conservation impact in protecting important wetland complexes in this landscape. This work continues through Phase 2 of this program, with funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to continue our work in building on the successes of this initial phase, and to secure an additional 750 acres of wetland habitat in west-central Minnesota.

Total expenditure was $1,355,000 which was 17% lower than originally budgeted. No fee-title land acquisition opportunities on wild rice lakes that fit within DNR and other government agency land plans were available during this time period thus DU did not expend any of the $100,000 budgeted for fee-title acquisition. Instead the program focused on RIM easements.  ","    ","The second phase of Wild Rice Shoreland Protection was intended to protect additional wild rice shoreland and continue the success of Phase I. BWSR, DU, DNR, SWCDs and other partners (see below) worked closely together to continue protection of vulnerable and ecologically valuable wild rice lake shorelands and grow the program which has led to subsequent phases III-V with Phase VI proposed for ML19 funding. Wild rice shoreland encompasses a complex of shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays of deeper lakes that support rice and provide some of the most important habitat for wetland-dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wild rice habitat is especially important to Minnesota’s migrating and breeding waterfowl and provides Minnesotans with unique recreation opportunities: hunting waterfowl and harvesting the rice itself for food.  Historically, wild rice occurred throughout Minnesota and extended into northern Iowa. Wild rice has since been extirpated from most of its southern range due to human impacts. Today, the heart of the states wild rice acreage falls within this project work area comprised of eight counties Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, and Wadena. These counties also account for 70% of harvesting trips for state licensed harvesters. This wild rice shoreland complex exists primarily in the state's Forest Section and remains intact with good water quality, but it is subject to intense development pressure that, if allowed, will degrade the resource. Recent well-documented population and development trends pose a serious threat to wild rice habitat in the Northern Forest Section. This population and development boom has reduced the availability of developable shoreline on recreational lakes, resulting in shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays containing wild rice being increasingly targeted for shoreline development. Shallow lakes and rivers in the forest are very susceptible to the impacts of shoreline development. The scoring and ranking process placed a strong emphasis on protecting the most vulnerable shorelines that were offered. Tracts were selected based on the degree they help permanently protect all the land around a given wild rice water body. Through the work of six SWCD offices, BWSR acquired 26  RIM shoreland easements from wild rice lake and river shoreline landowners. The BWSR/SWCD easements were acquired using the standard RIM process. Future monitoring and enforcement will be conducted via the standard RIM monitoring process. Although no fee-title acquisitions were completed during this phase the work of the partners paid off in subsequent phases as groundwork from this phase resulted in fee-title acquisition in Phase 3.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dan,Steward,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","1601 Minnesota Drive ",Brainerd,MN,56401,"(218) 828-2598",dan.steward@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","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/wild-rice-shoreland-protection,,,,

","The long-term goal of the Wild Rice River Corridor Habitat Restoration Project is to restore a natural corridor area along the Lower Reach of the Wild Rice River. When completed, the project will restore 23 channelized river miles to 50 miles of natural stream channel. Due to the overall size of the initiative, it is planned that the project will be conducted in multiple phases over the next decades. The phases were established to allow both for orderly implementation of the project and to ensure that wildlife and habitat benefits would be gained from the onset of implementation. The following describes the anticipated phases and major work items anticipated under each phase. Phase 1 Land Acquisition/Restoration: This phase will involve acquisition of a Conservation Easements to provide the Wild Rice Watershed District land rights to install and maintain future phases of implementation. As part of this phase, the production of agricultural crops within the parcel would cease and the area would be restored to a permanent vegetative cover by the landowner as set forth in the Conservation Easement conservation plan. Phase 2: Detailed Design and Setback Levee Construction. Once a significant reach of property has been enrolled as part of Phase 1 and detailed design for the corridor restoration has been completed, the existing river-side levees would be decommissioned and replaced with new levees setback further from the river. The alignment of these levees would be established to maximize the use of the available Phase 1 corridor and to allow for future implementation of Channel Rehabilitation under Phase 3. Phase 3: Channel Rehabilitation. Phase 3 will involve restoration of the channel along an approximately 23-mile segment of river. This restoration will reconnect many segments of the natural river that were cutoff by the channelized, leveed river channel. Reconnecting the floodplain will also benefit adjacent prairie and wetlands. During this phase, it is anticipated that a combination of modifications to historic oxbows that were cut off during the earlier straightening project and new meandering river channel segments would be constructed to create a long-term stable river channel. In addition, wetlands will be restored where determined practicable and compatible with setback levee and channel rehabilitation locations.

ABC completed habitat enhancement projects with 10 MN Department of Natural Resources Area Wildlife Offices and Forestry Departments, 6 MN County Land Departments, 2 USFWS National Wildlife Refuges, the Chippewa National Forest, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa. Projects were completed in 12 MN counties.",,"Using Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund dollars allocated in this grant, ABC created it's Minnesota Public Lands Program to focus on completing targeted young forest and brushland (also termed early successional) habitat projects on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands with the assistance of associated public agencies. These enhancement projects were implemented using science-based Golden-winged Warbler Best Management Practices to create breeding habitat for the golden-winged warbler, American woodcock, and associated species in deciduous forests of northern MN. Habitat treatments concentrated on non-commercial habitat types, the majority of which fell in lowland or upland brush stands dominated by alder, willow, and hazel within or adjacent to deciduous forest stands. Brush stands that were treated contained a mix of scattered and clumped hardwood tree species that were retained as residual structure along with scattered brush clumps. Early successional habitat project sites that have reached the stage where they require cutting treatments contain very old and dense brush dominated by upland and lowland brush species measuring 1-5” diameter per stem in dense clumps that may contain 10+ stems at the base of the clump and often stand 10-20ft tall within a deciduous forest matrix. In the absence of natural disturbance such as low severity fire, these sites have become dominated by a closed canopy of brush species due to their extensive size and age (see attached pretreatment images), resulting in a greatly reduced component of understory forb species and also a reduced component of seedling and sapling tree regeneration. These closed brush canopies limit or remove the ability of ground nesting avian species such as the golden-winged warbler to occupy these sites for the purposes of nesting and brood rearing. On each project site, this brush component was thinned and, when present, all singly spaced or patches of mature tree species were retained onsite to provide residual structural diversity. Most project sites were located in non-commercial brushland/forest interfaces, though a small number of projects were completed in forested covertypes to create habitat openings and multi-aged stands. The latter sites were completed using similar methodology as those described in brushland habitats in terms of the design of the project site and the retention of residual internal vegetation. Once complete, project sites have also been identified as producing high quality habitat for a suite of additional non-game and game species including ruffed grouse, sedge wren, veery, Nashville warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, rose-breasted grosbeak, bobcat, snowshoe hare, white-tailed deer, and elk (where they occur on the landscape). A great deal of initial effort went into the process of finding new public lands partners who had the need within their management jurisdictions to complete the habitat enhancement projects described above. However, it quickly became apparent that public lands agencies indeed had a tremendous interest and willingness to complete habitat projects of this type and the number of project partners has grown every year since the inception this program. On multiple occasions and with a variety of different area natural resource managers (esp. within state and federal agencies) it was expressed that they had projects in deciduous forest brushland habitats that they had not had the funding to complete in many years. As such, it became apparent that ABC (with the assistance of the MN OHF) was filling a needed role within the state. The ABC public lands manager worked with these public agency in every phase of the project planning and implementation process. It is important to note that ABC has partnered with Cornell University Lab of Ornothology and Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Research Institute to complete songbird and American woodcock monitoring on sites completed using this grant. These results will help identify post treatment site conditions that maximized the benefit to our target species and associated avian species. Through this monitoring, it is our hope to continue to refine our management techniques to continue to provide the best management possible on completed project sites. The greatest challenge of this program was the level of knowledge needed by all partner natural resources managers concerning target post treatment habitat conditions and an equal need to convey those management objectives to the associated contractors. As such, a very understated aspect of this project was the need to educate a wide array project partners. Often similar work that was completed in these habitat types before the creation of this program focused on cutting most of the brush on any given project site. This usually meant that most saplings of any tree species were also cut with very little internal structure remaining. What makes this program unique is the project design focus to retain diverse internal structure in the form of scattered trees, clumps, and legacy patches that results in post treatment conditions that benefits a wider range of young forest species and allows the interior of larger sites (>10 acres) to be occupied by a higher density of avian species requiring this dynamic structure as well as openings on the forest floor for nesting and brood rearing. With projects with various partner agencies often separated by hundreds of miles, high quality natural resource managers and contractors that I could work with directly on the ground and would assist overseeing projects when I needed to visit other sites across the state was crucial to the success of this project. Thankfully, the foresters and biologists from partner agencies and the contractors ABC has now worked with over the past 4 years accepted the challenge and the associated learning curve and have become very proficient at interpreting the often unique ecological and biological features of our project sites as they relate to the implementation of the BMPs. With their help, ABC continues to identify and complete 500-1000 acres of early successional habitat each year given sufficient winter cutting conditions. An additional challenge associated with the implementation of habitat projects located in lowland covertypes that require frozen ground conditions for cutting equipment to be used safely, was the extremely warm winters experienced by northern Minnesota over the past two years. Winters with high average temperatures and warm periods rising above freezing can limit the depth of ground frost on certain sites. This can be exacerbated when warm temperatures are followed by deep snows that provide insulation to the ground and reduce the ability of the ground to freeze once the temperature again falls below 32 degrees. During the winter project season, ABC and our agency partners were very diligent to assess frost depth to make sure that cutting equipment used on those sites did not risk damaging the soil resource. When it was not sufficiently frozen, projects were delayed until the frost depth became safe for project operations.

One example is the Mazinaakizige: American Indian Teen Photography Program. Over 10 weeks, six American Indian high school students worked with MNHS to investigate historic and contemporary images of American Indians, learn digital photography, and create a gallery show of photographic prints chosen for their interpretation of the theme, ""What Brings Us Together."" The opening was expected to bring in more than 100 people from the community to the Two Rivers Gallery on Dec. 4, 2015, to celebrate the students' work. Two Rivers Gallery graciously contributed the gallery space for the opening exhibition, gallery cards showcasing the event to the community, and frames for showing the students' prints. The evening event was part of a community art crawl in collaboration between Two Rivers Gallery, All My Relations Gallery, and Minneapolis Institute of Art. The student photography show will open at the Minnesota History Center on Jan. 23, 2016, and will continue to travel to Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Lower Sioux Agency in spring and summer 2016. MNHS Inclusion and Community Engagement staff also created opportunities to engage with community members telling their personal histories through two programs, the Summer Technology Workshop and Teen Advisory Council. Summer Technology Workshop is a two-and-a-half week program that highlights career readiness through a community-identified assessment of technology skills needs. Students explored the Google suite of tools and web design through immersive opportunities held at the Minnesota History Center and Saint Paul College. They explored the lack of Latino representation in the historical record and identified topics for future in-depth research. Final products were five-minute documentaries and websites that showed off students' newly acquired knowledge. The goal of the Teen Advisory Council is to increase teen presence and voice at MNHS. The council works with community advisers such as the Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs to create teen-produced programming for MNHS Family Day events. Students learn about the history of the community and issues surrounding diverse narratives. They then create original programs and performances (such as spoken word and webinars) with guidance from community advisers and MNHS staff. Students learn about what it means to be a Minnesotan and how to present those narratives in a museum setting.",,,2015-07-01,2016-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,MNHS,Legacy,"Minnesota Historical Society","345 Kellogg Blvd. W","Saint Paul",MN,55102,651-259-3105,,"Analysis/Interpretation, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Research","Minnesota Historical Society",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/youth-partnerships,,,,
