CD 10 has been identified as the largest contributing source of total phosphorus (TP) to Lake Ann (5,676 lbs/year). This constitutes over 68% of the total TP load entering Lake Ann. The total TP load into Lake Emma is 5,676 lbs/year. Lake Emma will require a 2,224 total TP load reduction, with a 1761 lbs/year load reduction from Lake Ann specifically given it is located directly upstream. Projects that reduce the amount of sediment (and associated TP) entering CD 10 will address the load reductions called for in the Lake Ann and Emma TMDL Implementation Plan (Wenck Associates, 2012). Based on current landowner interest and project adoption from the JD 15 BMP Inventory Implementation MDM Grant (C16-1476), our goal is the implementation of six (6) grade stabilization structures, eight (8) WASCOBS, and one (1) grassed waterway. If this goal is met, approximately 94.3 tons of sediment and 148.61 pounds of phosphorus will be removed from the total load entering CD 10 in a year.

This project will install 15 WASCOB projects that will reduce 350.25 Tons/Year of sediment and 300 lbs./year of Phosphorus loading to Lake Emily meeting 15% of the 2,000 TP lbs./year Phosphorus resource goal in the Water Plan. Section 2-page 11 of the water plan describes 33% of the external phosphorus loading to Emily is coming from the direct drainage areas, 50% from the Little Chippewa River, and 7% from upstream of Emily to Lake Minnewaska. The TMDL shows that a 35% reduction goal of 6,370 lbs. of external Phosphorus reduction is needed to delist Lake Emily. The County Water Plan (section 2 page 2-11) identifies (http://www.popeswcd.org) these direct drainage areas as contributing 33% (2,000 lbs.) of the total loading to Lake Emily based on the TMDL study to meet the TMDL goals. Section 1 page 17 identities erosion and sediment control as a priority planning issue and surface water quality, which also has a top priority for the Chippewa River watershed.

Sediment reduction strategies have been prioritized in local water management plans and through TMDL implementation plans for the Cannon River and Trout Brook. Specific BMPs have been targeted for this project based on a completed subwatershed analysis which evaluated potential practices that would yield the greatest sediment reductions. 346 projects were identified and ranked through the subwatershed analysis, and field reconnaissance has been completed for all identified practices to determine feasibility. A cost-benefit ranking was developed to prioritize projects based on the cost per ton of sediment reduction over the contract life of each practice. Of the 346 practices that were identified and ranked, efforts are already underway and funding has been secured to install many of the top 50 ranked practices. This project is Phase 2 of the Trout Brook Watershed Initiative and will focus on the next-highest ranked practices. This project specifically targets practices with an annualized sediment reduction cost of less than $30 per ton of sediment. Approximately 20 practices will be installed through this project which will reduce an estimated 670 tons of sediment per year.

The 5,000 acres of wetland enhancement will provide wetland management actions identified to support SGCN, including reversal of wetland degradation and control of invasives. In the Minnesota County Biological Survey description of the marsh community, special attention is given to two issues faced in Minnesota marshes - stable high water levels that reduce species diversity, often to a point at which a monotypic system evolves, and the ""invasion of marshes by the non-native species narrow-leaved cattail"" and its hybrids. Both of these issues were directly addressed by the major cattail control activities involving the Roving Habitat Crew, along with water level management undertaken through channel cleanouts or that will now be possible through because of newly installed wetland infrastructure projects.","A total of 5,024 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 5,024 in Enhance.",60000,PPJV,1653600,44300,,2,DNR,"State Government","Funding provided through this appropriation enhanced 5,024 acres of wetland habitat.

Finally, survey and design work was initiated on four projects to prepare for future construction.","ML2016 Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement Phase 8 entailed multiple components. * Engineering and Construction and Shallow Lake/Wetland Infrastructure Projects - Eight individual projects were undertaken with funding from this appropriation. One project, Moose/Willow in Aitkin County, entailed extensive cleanout of an outlet channels, plus a new water control structure leading to better water level management. Downstream channel work is necessary outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized equipment known as a Cookie Cutter removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The shallow lake returned to a lower levels with resulting habitat benefits. Seven projects - Plum Creek (Murray County), Gopher Ridge (Kandiyohi County), Sedan Pond (Pope County), Bradshaw Lake (Scott County), Rum River and Jones Pool (both at Mille Lacs WMA, Mille Lacs County), and Amiret WMA (Lyon County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, four infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. These engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house (i.e., DNR) engineers. *Cattail Spraying - A DNR helicopter has been equipped with an OHF-funded spray unit and avionics to allow it to spray invasive cattails - one of the most significant problems that impact wetlands statewide. Utilizing this helicopter, in conjunction with Roving Habitat Crew members working as ground support, significant acres of invasive cattail can be sprayed annually. Funding from this appropriation was used to purchase herbicide and pay helicopter expenses. 1,762 acres were enhanced. This operation is highly coordinated with project solicitation in late winter. Activities that have to occur before actual spraying occurs include landing site selection and mowing, ground crew (i.e. roving habitat crew members) training, herbicide purchase, coordination with DNR Law Enforcement (who have oversight of the helicopter and for whom the pilot works), permit applications, and public notice publication. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to perform habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 3 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years (FY18-FY20).

We enhanced shoreline habitat on 524 acres of riparian land, and instream habitat on 3.1 miles of trout streams and 0.5 miles of warmwater rivers. ",,"Final Report: http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/FY2012/accomp_plan/5a.pdf Protection of streams through conservation easements was enabled by the hiring of two easement specialists to work on acquisition. One position was funded through OHF, while the other leveraged funds from a Great Lakes Restoration grant. These positions contacted riparian landowners in targeted locations we prioritized for additional easement protection. We chose to target streams with high-quality habitat and fish populations, and along those streams we prioritized parcels that were adjacent to existing easements or protected public land, as well as landowners who owned parcels with longer lengths of stream. We also prioritized parcels with important features such as springs that are important to maintaining the cold water required by trout. All easements also needed to be accessible to the angling public, either from a public road, adjacent easement, or access path. Contacts with landowners were very fruitful; we found more potential parcels that we had money available for easements. This allowed us to prioritize the best parcels for easement purchase based on our criteria, but also created a list of potential parcels for acquisition using other funding sources, including OHF rounds from future years. We protected a total of 21.3 miles of trout streams using easements. One lakeshore parcel was also protected via conservation easement using this appropriation. The landowners (a scout camp) wanted the parcel protected, but also wanted to continue their passive use of the parcel. A conservation easement was a better tool than fee title acquisition in this case, which allowed us to protect 200 acres along 1.3 miles of lakeshore. The total amount of lake and stream shore acres protected by easements was just short of our goal (585 vs. 609), but we believe in the case of lake and stream riparian protection the length of shoreline is the more important measure. Fee title acquisition protected a total of 7.4 miles of lakeshore (504 acres) under this appropriation. We selected parcels for acquisition where the ratio of lakeshore to total acres was high in order to maximize riparian area protected, and where we protected critical and sensitive habitat such as emergent vegetation and natural shorelines that are critical for aquatic fish and wildlife. We were able to exceed our goal for acres protected in fee (504 vs. 427), in part due to over $550,000 in landowner donations of value that leveraged OHF money. We completed four stream habitat projects: two were on trout streams (Eagle and Rush Creeks), and two were on a warmwater rivers (Buffalo and Pomme de Terre Rivers). Eagle Creek had been degraded by years of cattle grazing, along with numerous beaver dams that had created a wide, shallow stream uninhabited by trout, unlike downstream reaches with better habitat. Using a combination of coir logs, rootwads and other woody debris, and grading and revegetating of the streambanks, the stream was narrowed to less than half of its former width. This created a much deeper stream channel with better habitat for fish, as well as the ability for the stream to better move the over-abundance of sand that comprised the stream bottom. Trout are now found in the restored half-mile of stream. The local watershed district contributed matching funds that helped to complete the project. Rush Creek habitat work has enhanced 2.5 miles of this trout stream. Steep eroding banks have been graded back, creating a floodplain that reduces the erosive energy of the stream during high water. Habitat structures of wood and rock have been placed in strategic locations on outside bends, providing stability to streambanks as well as cover for fish. All riparian areas have been seeded with a native mix of deep-rooted prairie grasses and forbs, providing enhanced stability for streambanks and habitat for terrestrial wildlife. Restoration of a reach of the Buffalo River was done on property owned by the City of Hawley. A formerly straightened reach of the river, the stream had eroding banks and lacked diverse depths, velocities, and cover required by most fish species. 2,700 feet of new meandering stream channel was constructed to restore the stream to a more natural condition, and outside bends were stabilized with woody material buried into the banks which not only provides stability while planted native vegetation becomes established, but also provides habitat for fish and aquatic insects. Enhancement work on the Pomme de Terre River was done on a relatively small area, but was critical to habitat in that reach. Due to bank erosion, the stream was in the process of cutting around a riffle that controls the grade of the streambed in that reach. That could have eventually lead to a downcutting of the stream channel that would have sent tons of sediment downstream. Instead, the streambank was stabilized using rootwads, and additional gravel and cobbles were added to the riffle to enhance its stability, as well as local habitat.",2011-07-20,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brian,Nerbonne,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5205,brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Cass, Chisago, Clay, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Hubbard, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, Morrison, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Redwood, Rice, Scott, St. Louis, Swift, Wabasha, Winona","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-aquatic-management-area-habitat-program-phase-3,,,, 2530,"Accelerated Prairie Restoration and Enhancement on DNR Lands, Phase 3",2012,1652000,"ML 2011, First Special Session, Ch. 6, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(b)","$1,652,000 the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources to accelerate the restoration and enhancement on wildlife management areas, scientific and natural areas, and land under native prairie bank easements.",,"Enhance 20,600 acres of prairie",,,n/a,1567500,39800,,8.80,"MN DNR","State Government","This appropriation funded 283 projects totaling 21,953 acres.

The parcel list changed substantially from the time of the request as the project went on because of several factors, including: 1) one of the core strengths of the Roving Crew is their flexibility to move quickly on a priority habitat enhancement opportunity, and this often meant addressing parcels that met the appropriation’s purpose, but not on the parcel list; 2) given the nature and purpose of the Roving Crew, parcels/projects done by them were not on the original list, but were added upon completion; and 3) site condition and weather help determine whether we can work on a given project on a given day, and we do our best to find alternate parcels of similar value/priority, even if not on the original parcel list, to maximize efficiency.  Especially when it comes to weather issues (usually ‘too wet’), often large areas affected.  The flexibility of the Roving Crew allowed them to do same enhancement work, but on WMAs in nearby counties not as affected by the weather. For all these reasons, we added a number of sites in counties not originally included in the parcel list.  Although it can make reporting challenging, we feel this dynamic flexibility is one of the strengths of our Roving Crews and our contracting process.  While many appropriations highlight specific projects, “what” they did, we feel the strength of this appropriation is in the cumulative effect of many small projects and “how” we did it.  Specifically, we did a lot of this work by developing the Region 4 (Southern) DNR Roving Crew.  This crew is located at Lac Qui Parle.  As part of developing a new crew, office and shop space had to be developed, crews hired, and those crews needed to be equipped.  That was followed by a steep learning curve as the crew coalesced and began working on projects.  These crews only do habitat work.  We try to minimize the time spent with paperwork, office work, budgets, etc, so that they can fully devote their time to ‘boots on the ground’ habitat enhancement projects.  At the same time, there were some inclement weather patterns during these years that limited the activities of the crews during some periods.  Even given those unavoidable issues, the appropriation exceeded its target acres.  It is our assessment that these initial years are the slowest and therefore least productive.  This crew, as well as the other two, are all functioning as highly efficient teams.  The rest of the work was done with contractors, which stimulates local rural economies.  According to the research literature, we actually underestimating the acres enhanced, especially as it relates to woody removal projects.  Numerous studies show it’s not just the area ‘under the trees’ that impact grassland birds, but the area around the woody vegetation.  Some species simply won’t nest near woody cover and other studies show high nest predation (gamebird) or brood parasitism (songbirds) rates near woody cover.  By removing even a few trees from the center of a grassland, we are actually enhancing the entire area.  Snyder (1984) found that pheasant nest success double greater than 600 meters from a tree.  That means for every tree, or clump of trees, removed we are effectively enhancing nesting success in the surrounding 280 acres of grassland.Although this appropriation focused on the Roving Crew, we can highlight a couple projects as small examples of all the work that we are proud of.  Glenflur WMA – Cottonwood County.  This 165 acre tree removal project substantially opened up this tract.  This WMA is part of the Cottonwood River Prairie Core Area and contains areas of unbroken prairie.  This site had not experienced significance disturbance, other than heavy grazing, in several decades.  A lack of disturbance had allowed tree succession to begin to invade. Prairie Bush Clover and Loggerhead Shrike are SGCN noted in this area.Lac qui Parle WMA-Nygard Tract – Swift County.  This tract is part of the larger Chippewa Prairie on the Lac qui Parle WMA and is part of a Prairie Plan Core Area.  This remnant prairie had been moderately grazed and had not seen disturbance by fire in decades.  Woody encroachment was beginning to take hold prior to this project.  Through a combination of tree removal, prescribed burning and grazing this site is now in good condition with sightings of several native prairie species that were suppressed due to lack of disturbance from fire.  This area has recent sightings of Marbled Godwits, Slender Milk Vetch, Loggerhead Shrike and Upland Sandpipers.The SNA Program was able to start a series of contracted woody removal projects at Swede’s Forest SNA.  Swede’s Forest is home to a large population of the rare five-lined skink.  The management being completed here is focused on removal of encroaching red cedar and invasive buckthorn, improving habitat not only for the five-lined skink but also for the multiple other wildlife species that call this site home.Additionally, SNA staff, with support of CCM, were able to conduct a 109 acre prescribed burn at Prairie Coteau SNA.  Prairie Coteau SNA is one of the most important and stunning prairies in southwestern Minnesota.  This prescribed burn helped improve habitat for grassland gamebird species found on the site in addition to the rare non-game species.It was difficult to assign an exact dollar figure to each person and each project.  What I did was take the total personnel budget, identify the ratio of FTE/years, and scale the personnel budget to that ratio.  I used the same approach on the parcel list.  I took the total budget and total acres, identified percentage of acres for each project relative to the acre total, and assigned the ratio of funds to that project. ",2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Rd","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Isanti, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Pipestone, Redwood, Renville, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Watonwan, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-restoration-and-enhancement-dnr-lands-phase-3,,,, 2535,"Accelerating the Wildlife Management Area Program, Phase 3",2012,5500000,"ML 2011, First Special Session, Ch. 6, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(g)","$5,500,000 the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with Pheasants Forever to acquire prairie and other habitat areas for wildlife management area purposes under Minnesota Statutes, section 86A.05, subdivision 8.

Easement acquisition focused on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and targeted high-quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat. ","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 415 acres of native prairie and supporting habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Ultimately, 402 acres was protected through this appropriation, just shy of the originally 415-acre goal. 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, aggregate 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. 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, 7 parcels for a total of 402 acres 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.

To reverse this trend, PF works to permanently protect and restore these wetland-grassland complexes. This eighth phase of the WMA acceleration program acquired and restored a total of 1,182.25 acres of grasslands and wetland habitat as permanently protected WMA's. Due to our ability to partner with other conservation groups and agencies such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, we are able to bring leverage to the program and far exceed the goals of this phase. Pheasants Forever and MN DNR staff collaborated to generate a list of parcels with landowners who had the desire to sell. The parcel's ecological impact was evaluated using landscape level planning tools such USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET), The MN Prairie Conservation Plan and The Pheasant Action Plan among others. By utilizing these tools, we were able to focus efforts in areas where acquisitions and restorations will make the greatest impact on the landscape and thus these additional acres of WMA are very beneficial to wildlife and public recreation. Once acquired, wetlands on each parcel were restored by installing surface ditch ""plugs"" and or breaking subsurface tile. Some wetlands may also have had sediment removed to create proper substrates for wetland function and vegetative growth. Grasslands were restored by planting a high-diversity native seed mix of grasses and forbs that are regionally appropriate to the area. As with all restoration work, there are challenges that come from weather and working with private contractors, but we did not face any major issues.

",,,,,,,,,,,,"Acquiring Land and Creating Opportunities - 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 identifies its purpose to create new and expanded park and trail opportunities to satisfy current customers as well as to reach out to new ones. 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 acquiring land and creating opportunities 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.

Sediment plumes and deltas have formed at the inlets of pools in Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge (Agassiz Pool) and Thief Lake, an important recreational resource in Northwest Minnesota. Radioisotope soil fingerprinting indicates the severity of the sedimentation problem is within Agassiz Pool. It is estimated that 14,900 tons of sediment has been deposited in Agassiz Pool annually, since 1938. The fingerprinting analysis indicates the dominant source of this sediment is erosion of uplands and fields. This project is a collaborative partnership with USDA-NRCS to establish 50 ft. wide native grassed filter strips, grade-stabilization structures, and field windbreaks to prevent or reduce sedimentation problems. This effort will stabilize the soil, slow down water runoff, and filter the water before entering ditches and streams. The goal is to establish 16 miles of grassed filter strips, 5 miles of field windbreaks, and install 25 grade stabilization structures where needed. Targeted areas within the Thief River Watershed have been prioritized through analysis of sub-basin sediment yields generated by a Soil and Water Assessment Tool model of the watershed.

Other musical highlights will include “Dark Night of the Soul""ť by Gjeilo with string quartet, piano and soprano soloist and Edward Elgar's “Lux Aeterna""ť based on his Enigma Variations. Selection of Sacred Heart Music Center as a venue for this concert uses the fabulous acoustics to assist in portraying the beauty of the Northern Lights. Photographic displays by local artists capturing the beauty and wonder of the Aurora Borealis will set the mood for the concert. The Arrowhead Chorale will evaluate the setting's effect on the music, the response of the audience to the art exhibit and concert combined, and the singer and performer satisfaction with the concert repertoire and performance. The Board will hold a meeting within the month following the concert to focus on the finances of the event, performance satisfaction, the collaboration with area artists, and the feedback from an audience survey and a singer survey. All information gathered will be used to assist in future planning, collaborations with other area organizations and individuals, and continued relationships with area instrumentalists and soloists.","Goals: 1. Offering beautiful new choral repertoire to the audience and performers The choir of 28 singers offered an hour and a half of beautiful music focused on the concepts of the northern lights, light and dark, of love made visible in the universe, and of stars as symbols of hope and joy. The selections were enjoyed by both singers and audience members. 2. Creating an opportunity for local visual artists to collaborate in an exhibit/performance. A competition was held and three local photographers were chosen to exhibit at the concert. Their work was projected onto a large screen behind the choir as it sang, giving a visual emphasis to the music. This enriched the artistic experience for the audience. 3. Presenting 2 events that would enhance the understanding of the northern lights, both for audience and performers/artists. 2 concerts were held at Sacred Heart Music Center, with soloist, instrumentalists, and choir. Prior to Saturday's concert, local astronomy expert ""Astro Bob"" (Bob King) addressed the science behind the northern lights, which added an additional layer of enjoyment and understanding for the audience. 4. Including audience members from the visual arts community to this joint venture/performance. Friends and family members of the local artists involved, who would not typically attend Arrowhead Chorale concerts, attended the concert and enjoyed the collaboration of visual arts and music.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",8079,"Other,local or private",11665,3422,"Susan Masterson, Mary Pat Renaud, Rod Dahlquist, Rick Sailstad, Sam Black, Nathan Winesett, Kim Keuning Business Manager: Olivia Buncher (through July 2018), Sara Baldwin (beginning July 2018)",,"Arrowhead Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"Aurora Musicalis: Music of the Cosmos",2018-03-11,2018-07-14,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Susan,Masterson,"Arrowhead Chorale","506 Michigan St W",Duluth,MN,55802,"(218) 733-7521 ",arrowheadchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Carlton",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-118,"Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center.","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center.","Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, Drew Digby (218) 722-0952 ",1 10004165,"Art Project Grant",2018,3586,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","Borealis Bards is producing a 2018 spring performance of “Anne of Green Gables""ť in effort to increase our audience base, increase the skills of the artistic community, and expand our Junior Bards youth theatre program.

We will utilize box office reports to determine if we are increasing attendance. An audience survey and social media responses will identify our success in reaching new audience segments as well as satisfaction levels and quality of performance. A participant survey will be distributed to all cast and crew to solicit response on their experience in the production and if they felt their skill level had an opportunity to expand and grow. Success in this area will also be measured by the number of members that return for the fall 2018 play. The growth of our youth program will be measured by the number of new cast and crew members.","This project had three measurable short outcomes: 1) provide quality and culturally-enriching theatre to our fellow community members that is not otherwise available in our remote area; 2) increase the level of participation in the Junior Bards program by recruiting new cast and crew members for a fun, educational and rewarding journey; and 3) develop the skills of a new director. The project’s long outcomes included: 1) allow local artists to grow and expand their abilities by developing their skills; 2) increase our number of available, experienced directors; and 3) increase audience base by offering a production attractive to youth and families alike. Borealis Bards feels it met, or exceeded, each of the outcomes.

We will offer free workshops prior to the event, both in a visible public location and in area schools. We wish for the workshops and parade to be creative parties, both lighthearted and humorous. 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 7th annual Smelt Run Parade. We presented parade workshops at the Aquarium and the West Duluth Library, before getting started at our primary location at the Duluth Art Institute Lincoln Center in Lincoln Park on April 28. We recruited approximately 60 masqueraders and puppeteers at the workshops. Some were repeat participants, and many were newcomers. In addition, anyone and everyone is invited to dress up in silver. Year after year, more and more individuals and families are creating costumes at home. The Duluth News Tribune (front page. May 14. see attachments) included an an interview with a Duluth mom who explained that her family has a bin in the basement for smelt costumes, right next to their Christmas bin! Parade day, May 13, presented lovely weather and approximately 350 people joined our procession on the Lakewalk.

These include the Park Point Community Club, the Army Corps of Engineers, Duluth Parks and Recreation, Zeitgeist Arts Café, Hoops Brewing, Bent Paddle, Whole Foods Co-op, the Red Herring, Global Village, Endion Station and Third St. Bakery. We are pleased to report that we picked up one new sponsor this year, the Greater Downtown Council. I'd like to also mention that Smelt Parade was cited at the GDC's annual meeting in January as a unique and vibrant cultural event.

In terms of musicality vs technical prowess, I was very pleased with our performance.” “I thought we had enough [rehearsal] time, but barely.

Our two main outcomes from the event are to: 1. Attract (through marketing efforts, co-sponsorship by community organizations and relationships forged through our work during the past 12 years) community members from a diverse set of cultural communities and socioeconomic backgrounds to be energized and enriched by the performances. 2. Inspire future connections, conversations, and creative partnerships that continue to build toward a just, respectful, and sustainable future for our community. Our most straightforward criteria for the project's success are attendance numbers and a measure of the degree of diversity among our attendees. The next level of complexity will be captured through an electronic survey following the event and using the results to inform our future programming. In this evaluation we will assess how attendees' understanding of cultural values about environmental justice has been impacted. We will also ask respondents to share further actions they may take as a result of the event. We will also be alert to evidence of future collaborations that arise out of of the performances, which will demonstrate success in catalyzing cross-cultural partnerships.","Outcome 1: Attracting (through marketing efforts, co-sponsorship by community organizations and relationships forged through our work during the past 12 years) community members from a diverse set of cultural communities and socioeconomic backgrounds to be energized and enriched by the artistic performances. Results: We drew speakers and audience members from a broad array of organizations, congregations, and socio-economic backgrounds to our event, including members of Veterans for Peace, the St. Scholastica Monastery, the Duluth Branch of the NAACP, Temple Israel, Peace United Church of Christ, and our sponsoring organizations (AICHO, Community Action Duluth, CHUM, Zeitgeist, the City of Duluth, and Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light). While the artists and speakers of the event were a culturally-diverse group of people (Native American, African American, and White), and our audience included members of all groups just mentioned, our attendance was smaller and less diverse than we had hoped, perhaps in part because of our weather-related rescheduling and the fact that we had to relocate from St. Scholastica to Peace United Church of Christ. Outcome 2: Inspiring future connections, conversations, and creative partnerships that continue to build toward a just, respectful, and sustainable future for our community. Results: A truly unique and inspiring set of connections, conversations, and creative partnerships were forged through this work. A small creative team of artists helped formulate the questions posed to our speakers for the event, so that these questions informed both the discussion and the performance in meaningful ways. As a result, artistic performance was interwoven with discussion, and the performances provided profound commentary. Several speakers noted how moved they were by the synergy, and the artists repeatedly expressed their wishes to revisit the collaboration for the purposes of performing together again through this framework.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",5412,"Other,local or private",7980,,"Marianne Allen, Deborah Amberg, Steve Burgess, Bryan Chavez, Daniel Clay, Ed Crawford, Mary Dewitt, Christopher Dolan, Jessica Durbin, Colette Geary, David Herman, Mat Johnson, Gretchen Johnston, Beth Haenke, Melanie Mogg, Vincent Ohaju, Michael O’Keefe,",,"The College of Saint Scholastica","Private College/University","Art Project Grant",,"HARMONY: Environmental Justice, Community, and the Power of Art.",2018-04-02,2018-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Colette,Geary,"The College of Saint Scholastica","1200 Kenwood Ave ",Duluth,MN,55811,"(218) 723-6000 ",aabrahamson@css.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-143,"Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2 10005660,"Art Project Grant",2018,3586,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","The Duluth Superior Film Festival's short range outcomes are to raise awareness of these types of cinema events through press and promotion, remain financially sound, stabilize our organization's ability to continue to produce events, and to energize arts in the region by presenting unique cinema experiences.

The Board will continue to embrace edgy play choices artistically and financially. Measuring acting growth is subjective, but the Players will attempt it using criteria of extended physical fluidity and versatility, greater vocal variety and improved timing. We always do an after action discussion with designers and crews to get their evaluations of the production's outcomes. For this show we'll also ask that a questionnaire be returned to the producer. At our regular Q and As, we'll ask pointed raise-your-hands questions about the audience's reaction to the play as parable, the effect of costumes and acting style, and are they likely to attend more edgy plays. Our Board reviews the play's impact artistically and financially. We measure audience size, attendees' zipcodes, profit/loss.","Many of the outcomes are only measurable subjectively, so the director used the opinions of several knowledgeable theatre people in the crews and from the audience, as well as her own; written surveys, and pointed audience responses to questions asked after three of the shows. Later, we all heard more specifics from people on the street in our small town. ACTORS: Wearing the exaggerated period costumes, most expanded their broad, physical acting style. They worked at it before the costumes arrived, but flourished once they were comfortable in them and saw what they looked like in them. DESIGNERS: Two of the ""designers"" (set and music director) had their visions fulfilled fairly well, as a result of knowing what the costumed look of the show would be. Certainly they grew in their art by seeing what worked and what did not as set pieces were built and incidental music and songs were integrated into the show. AUDIENCES: Some told us outright that the broad acting style took a few minutes to get used to, but then they appreciated that the ""clowning"", as one person called it, really fit to make the Fascists look foolish. There was no question about the power of the final moment, when the Ui/Hitler character does the Nazi salute, and the rest of the cast of 17 shouts, ""Heil."" It looked like 1930s Chicago/Germany. The house was silent for five long seconds before the blackout. We said that audiences would continue to appreciate our ""edgy"" plays, and they raised their hands to say they would. BOARD: They too stand and behind and support well-produced ""edgy"" plays for our community theatre group. And most objectively: Our audiences grew in size for each dress rehearsal and performance. After bills were paid, we had $1,200 to add to the match for our next production's grant application.

Our workshops began April 28 at a new location this year, in Lincoln Park, 1832 West Superior St. In terms of access and visibility, this was our best location ever. See attached workshop flier). We recruited approximately 60 masqueraders and puppeteers at the workshops. Some were repeat participants, and many were newcomers. In addition, anyone and everyone is invited to dress up in silver. Year after year, more and more individuals and families are creating costumes at home. Parade day, May 13, presented lovely weather and approximately 450 people joined our procession on the Lakewalk. We began in front of the Maritime Visitors Center, beneath the Aerial Lift Bridge, with puppet and mask theater presenting a fanciful introduction to the Kingdom of Smelt. The Duluth News Tribune (May 13. see attachments) featured front page photos of Magic Smelt masqueraders and delighted faces in the audience. Other stops along the parade route included Endion Station and the atrium at Gichi-Ode Akiing (Lake Place Park). Throughout the event, the Brass Messengers Brass Band provided lively dance music. The parade concluded with a smelt fry and party at Zeitgeist Arts Cafe. Magic Smelt presented a history of smelt cranky show, ""El Mundo"", and a new, short, animated film, ""Devil Boy"", in the theater. 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, Hoops Brewing, Bent Paddle, Whole Foods Co-op, Global Village, Endion Staion, and the Greater Downtown Council. As intended, our final event was a visual and musical spectacle, celebrating the extraordinary phenomenon of the annual smelt run. The key to our success was to attract and engage students, families, and a diverse community of volunteer participants.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",2940,"Other,local or private",6526,943,"Kirsten Aune, Hannah Grunzke, Randel Hanson, Barbara Baco, Anton Jimenez-Kloeckl",,"Magic Smelt Puppet Troupe","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project Grant",,"Run Smelt Run Puppet Parade, a non-motorized, site-specific, outdoor parade performance on May 12, 2019, in celebration of the annual smelt run on Lake Superior.",2018-12-03,2019-07-26,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jim,Ouray,"Magic Smelt Puppet Troupe","1014 Lake Ave S",Duluth,MN,55802,"(218) 370-8980 ",papahorsey@earthlink.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-grant-147,"Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor","Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist, Cultural Programming Coordinator at American Indian Community Housing Organization; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor UMD Music, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, and former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artists, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Kayla Schubert: Native American craft artist, writer, employee at MacRostie Art Center; Ariana Daniel: mixed media artist, arts instructor; Emily Fasbender: student liaison, visual artist",,2 10005693,"Art Project Grant",2018,3586,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","Borealis Bards is producing a 2018 fall performance of ôLittle Shop of Horrorsö in effort to diversify our audience base, increase skills of the artistic community, continue the educational component of our program, and expand the types of genre of our productions. ôLittle Shopö is a less-than-classical play with a rock and roll based musical score to attract the 30-50 old age group. A seasoned actor, Raeanne Conat, will advance her dramatic skills by serving as a first-time director. New cast and crew members will be reached by advertising auditions in programs of our spring performances, social media, and recruiting rock-and-roll musicians, a change from previously used orchestra members. We will utilize box office income to determine if we increased attendance over previous productions. An audience survey and social media responses will gage satisfaction levels, quality of performance, and if we reached the desired age range. A participant survey will be distributed to all cast and crew to solicit response on their experience in the production and if they felt their skill level had an opportunity to expand and grow. Success in this area will also be measured by the number of new members gained, and those that return for our two spring 2019 performances. In addition, the production team, with focus on Ms. Conat and the new musicians, will be interviewed for their feedback.","Box office income measured whether or not attendance increased over previous productions. Income and ticket sales reflected a similar attendance level to the last full-length play (Anne of Green Gables) but a slight decrease from last year’s fall musical. We believe this decrease is due to the selection of production. Several troupe members commented they were not interested in performing in a ‘dark comedy’ and did not care for the storyline. We suspect previous audience members held the same opinion and chose not to attend this performance. A survey inserted in each play program measured the satisfaction levels of attendees. Eleven percent of audience members responded. All but three respondents commented on the high level of quality of the production. Comments from the other three included disappointment in the use of swear words and the level of violence within the script. Social media posts reflected a 100% satisfaction rate of the production. 29% of returned surveys identified themselves in the targeted age-range of 30-50. Five of these respondents attended their first Borealis Bards performance. The theatre troupe is very satisfied with this outcome. A post production cast and crew survey identified the development of several new skills. The lead actress shared the challenge she faced in developing an acceptable Brooklyn accent and maintaining that accent throughout the entire musical. Her goal was to use her own voice while staying true to the character’s stereotype. She felt it was a very large challenge she hadn’t faced performing roles in the past. Other new skills developed by cast and crew included increasing stage confidence, addressing time and stress management, and performing in the aisle. The musicians found the musical score challenging, but rewarding.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",6963,"Other,local or private",10549,,"Gail Rognerud, Tim Fairchild, Kay Arnold, Patti Ballan, Julie Bartkowski, Harry Batdorf, Carol Bryant-Bushinger, John Faith, Derek Foss, Sherrie Lessard, Beth Lowthian, Tracy Lunser, Diane Maxey",,"Citizens for Backus / Alexander Baker, Inc.

We seek funding to support new construction of the set, for costumes, and props. Sets must be constructed to travel to three locations: Aurora, Chisholm and Ely, each venue with a different size stage. Ours is a visual society, and in a community which sees little live opera or theatre, we believe that the production values need to be high to provide a high quality arts experience for the public. Sets will be designed by Bart Healy, and built by Aurora carpenters, Alvin Rintala and Arthur Cherro. Costumes will be rented. Building a new production requires good design, appropriate for the Stage Director's vision, and it needs to be built in a timely way, on schedule and on budget. Our design and building team has worked together for many years, and it is rare when there are cost overruns for this aspect of the festival. We try to maximize the production values, and still find a way to come in on budget. If the set and the costumes are beautiful, if the audience responds well to the production; if the set looks good in three different halls, and can be managed well by the crew in these various venues; and if it comes in on budget, we will feel we have been successful.","The opera was well-staged and well rehearsed. The cast was extremely strong and both the stage Director and the Music Director pulled together a fast and very funny show in three weeks. Ticket sales exceeded expectations by 30%. The set was constructed by Aurora carpenters, Arthur Cherro and Alvin Rintala, using the bus garage at Mesabi East as their workshop. The set came in at budget. The set was designed by Bart Healy to fit into three different theatres: Mesabi East's Veda Zuponcic Auditorium; Chisholm Auditorium, and Ely's Washington Auditorium. The set was built on time and was considered to be the best set we have had at Northern Lights Music Festival. It was colorful, fun, and worked well with the costumes we had rented from Malabar. A new costume mistress worked within budget and handled a big job competently, especially for her first attempt at this position.

Although there is a local art club, no visual arts programming currently exists to engage community members or local artists in public art in this community. 3) Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region: The project implementation will create an art based community asset that will be appreciated regularly when people drive by or attend an event at the '52 Wing. 4) Supporting high-quality, age-appropriate arts education for residents of all ages to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of the arts: This project will engage artists in the development and application of their own skills as part of a public art project.

Surveys will be conducted with the City Council, Martinson Foundation, Appleton Community Foundation, and other local donors for this project. They will be asked if they believe their contribution resulted in a positive community improvement and if they would be receptive to funding future projects. They will also be asked for suggestions for other public art projects.

The project allowed for artists to work together on a final project and many had never collaborated with any other artists before. It also created an opportunity to stretch their artistic skills in a way they hadn’t before. Some artists were graphic designers, others used different mediums but in the end they all had creative license to create a reproduction of an image using the same set of tools and parameters and the results were incredibly unique. Several artists reported that this project inspired them to work on other art projects or brush up on new skills. As part of the grant we surveyed the artists and the public. 94% of the public said it was fantastic and 88% said it added great value to Appleton.

Goal #2: Five (goal=10) community adults participated in the mural painting and one took pictures (out of 50 engaged, remainder were bystanders). If the mural painting had taken the full 10 days, the goal may have been achieved. Goal #3: Twenty-seven (goal=20) community youth participated in the mural project (out of 30 engaged, remainder were bystanders). There were no Hispanic youth (goal 15% [3]) that participated.

In regards to the musical talent aspect of the Market, the Market Committee works to ensure that residents not only become aware of the local talent that exists in Southwest Minnesota, but that they also grow in their appreciation of our local talent. The Committee would also like to work with musicians of different musical styles and backgrounds to generate interest in these different musical genres to attendees of Central Park Market. The Committee also wants to be able to support our local musical talent by showcasing them at the Market and reimbursing them for their participation. A measurable goal for the Market Committee this year will be to bring different musicians into the mix and promote their talent to area residents. We expect that this season, Market attendees will learn about musical talent that they were not aware existed in our area and grow to appreciate the different types of musical talent performed at the Market. The Central Park Market Committee will distribute a survey to participants towards the end of the Market season. The Committee will also post-a link on the survey and on the Central Park Market Facebook page that will allow participants to complete the survey and provide additional feedback on the musical talent at this seasons Market. The Market Committee will work to document if the Market attendees were familiar with the type of music that they experienced during the market season via the completion of an online or paper survey. In the survey, the participant will be asked if they are familiar with the musical talent that performed, what were their impressions of this talent, and if they would like this talent to perform again next year.

We also have the ability to assist with overcoming the barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities. Performances in the Market and the market itself are a wonderful destination located centrally in the community, free to all, accommodating to all cultures and a fun venue in general. Performances are accessible to those who would be unable to attend most other local performances. Our evaluation focuses on the collection of information and feedback from attendees and will take a two pronged approach. First, weekly interviews / surveys completed on site during performances by the market manager and our EBT volunteers. This information will be collected weekly which will allow for real time feedback on each artist. Contact information of market consumers is collected throughout the market season and an online survey will be conducted in October. Vendors are also surveyed at the end of the market season. In addition, attendance estimates will be recorded each week. Use of SNAP benefits will be correlated with attendance to provide knowledge regarding participation by the under-served.","We felt that instilling the arts in to the community and public life in our region was the main goal best aligned to our project.

This attendance demonstrates that Performances in the Market are reaching a broad array of citizens at a free public event. 67% of consumers surveyed indicated that the performances enhanced their experience and appreciation of the arts. Over 92% indicated that performances at the Market had a positive influence on their enjoyment and attendance. Here are a couple of quotes: Good family time with great entertainment and good foods!

Also, parking volunteers will work together to get a real audience count including counting adults and kids (under 18) separately. 2 and 3) Measuring visitor experience including awareness of pottery types and techniques: Our Survey Administrator is responsible for going around the festival to capture feedback. We created a quick worksheet to capture the responses and then every few hours the volunteer adds all the answers into the electronic survey for easy tabulation and analysis. 4) Measuring impact on exhibiting potters: Over the last three years, we gathered real sales and experience results from all participating artists. We will be able to use this data as a reference point to ensure that participating potters have increased sales year-over-year. 5) Diversify and Build Funding: In 2017, we held our first ever Preview Party to engage individual supporters, artists, sponsors, and funders in a dedicated fundraiser to further diversify and strengthen our funding sources. We plan to hold another one in 2018. We'll also strive to identify new institutional and corporate funding sources.","Measuring attendance: We handed out more than 2,100 stickers. Our 2018 audience engagement survey showed that 36% come from the Hutchinson and surrounding area (including Litchfield and Dassel), 24% came from the Twin Cities Metro Area, 7% came from Western Suburbs of the Twin Cities, 27% came from other areas of Minnesota and the remaining 6% came from out of state. Measuring visitor experience: According to our evaluation tool, the number one reason (36%) that people came to the festival was because they were invited by a friend. And the quality of the art came in second at 34%. When asked what they enjoyed most about the festival 68% says the pottery and meeting the artists, 7% said location, 17% said that they liked the interactive opportunities like the kid’s tent, the Olympics, and the demonstrations. And another 7% couldn't choose and like ""everything."" When it came to improvements, 56% said they had nothing they would change, the other suggestions were to provide more food options (16%) and more shade (8%). Other ideas shared included adding more interactive opportunities, paving the road, adding more potters, and having some sort of music. This was our third year collecting demographics. Key numbers of those surveyed were: 65% female compared to 70% female in 2017, 97% of were older than 18, and 96% of those surveyed were Caucasian. One note, we've noticed that our survey administrator plays a key role in who they interview. In 2018 we had intended to have two survey administrators on both days, unfortunately, due to illness we only had one survey administrator on Sunday, the shorter day. We still believe that the age and background of the administrator plays a role in demographics. In 2019, we intend to make some changes to the survey tool to encourage a larger variety of people to participate. Measuring impact on exhibiting potters: We were also able to survey the artists and find out their average sales, their personal impressions, and we were able to determine if they’d return. Of the potters in attendance in 2018, 94% say they plan to reapply in 2019 and if selected would attend (primary reasons for not returning include scheduling conflicts and distance from home), this was an increase from 91% in 2018. 87% of the artists also reported that the event met or exceeded their expectations. This year's average sales were $1,704 for a total of $53,000 in direct artist revenue, a 7% increase over 2017. The potters’ feedback is that this is one of their favorite events of the year because most traditional art shows don’t draw pottery focused audiences and tend to not foster opportunities for the potters to collaborate and share techniques. One of the feedback themes was how many new attendees there were and how they thought that the advertising was getting better each year.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",7729,"Other,local or private",12729,,"Betsy Price, Mandy Baldry, Morgan Baum, Kerry Brooks, Ernest Miller, Nate Saunders",,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2018 Minnesota Pottery Festival.",2018-05-15,2018-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Betsy,Price,"Minnesota Pottery Festival","17614 240th St",Hutchinson,MN,55350,"(320) 587-2599 ",info@mnpotteryfestival.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"McLeod, Meeker, Sibley, Renville, Kandiyohi, Wright, Carver, Hennepin, Scott, Nicollet",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-182,"Cheri Buzzeo: theatre, arts admin; Mary Gillespie: visual art, chamber; Dusan Milanovic, theatre; Kaia Nowatzki: visual art; Tom Wirt: visual art, arts/community boards; Brett Lehman: music, SMAC Board; Janet Olney: visual art, arts admin, SMAC Board.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; 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; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.

We can provide high-quality entertainment and musical education to our community members, many of whom might not be able to see and hear, in person, this quality of music and performance in different genres. Another goal is to play our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The NLMF has become a yearly tradition where people can come, enjoy the day, and experience the rich live-music tradition of our region and our country. We feel that this is very much in tune with a civic goal of the city of New London: to make the arts an everyday part of community life. We have had some success in the past two years and will continue to pursue our goal of increasing the number of attendees between the ages of 25-50, who have been historically under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. The results of this survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience, what they liked and disliked about the music and the artists, and what we can do better for next year. We also closely review attendance based on ticket sales and monitor comments left on our Facebook site, Website, and NLMF e-mail. The comments are very useful as they help give us a sense of what genres of music are interesting and valued by our audience and what new areas we might explore. We measure our success in terms of total attendance, attendance increases within the 25-50 age group, and increases in survey approval ratings from year to year, as well as specific comments made by our attendees.","Our attendance goal for the 2018 Festival was 400 attendees. We estimate that we had about 300 attendees which fell short of our goal. Each year we distribute a survey form to all attendees as they enter the grounds. We generally have a 25 - 30% response rate (the number of returned surveys as a ratio of total attendance). We once again had attendees (as reflected in the returned surveys) from 14 Minnesota counties. The percentage of attendees under 60 years of age increased 5% over 2017. One of our goals was to increase attendance among our ""younger"" audience. 30% of surveyed attendees were attending their first or second Festival. Another of our goals is to keep the price of a ticket affordable for our West Central Minnesota audience. We held ticket prices this year ($15.00 - $25.00 depending on when purchased plus a senior discount of $5.00 on the day of the Festival). 77% of those surveyed said that the ticket cost was ""just right"" and an additional 18% said that prices were ""a bargain"". Between 95% to 97% of those surveyed rated the musical groups, the musical variety, the location, and the food choices as either ""good"" or ""excellent"". 100% of those surveyed said that they planned to attend next year's festival.","Achieved most of the proposed outcomes",9490,"Other,local or private",14490,,"Steve Slominski, Mark Crellin, Rosemary Bentson, Abigail Duly, Bill Gossman, Bethany Lactorin, Kyle Jarius",,"New London Music Festival","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Art Project",,"2018 Music Festival.",2018-02-15,2018-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Steve,Slominski,"New London Music Festival","PO Box 35","New London",MN,56273,"(320) 295-1615 ",newlondonmusicfestival@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Anoka, Chippewa, Douglas, Hennepin, Hubbard, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Olmsted, Ramsey, Scott, Stearns, Stevens, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-183,"Joyce Aakre: visual art, writing; Mark Brodin: music, theatre, film; Maureen Keimig: theatre; Kristine Leuze: visual art; Joyce Meyer: visual art, education; Kathy Schaefer: music, visual art; John Voit: music, theatre.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; 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; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2 10005975,"Art Study Opportunity for Youth",2018,500,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","My goal for this art study experience is to make our group's chamber group performance the best chamber performance I have ever given. I also want to create at least one unofficial group with my friends. We can practice during free time and try to get faculty to coach us. As an individual artist, I am hoping to improve my chamber group ability. I want to come out of this camp with valuable knowledge and experience that I will be able to use for the rest of my life as a musician. To measure my success in my chamber group, I will listen to the recording of my chamber group and compare it to last year. If I can see noticeable improvement, I will know I have benefited from the camp. I will evaluate the success of the unofficial group I hope to create by whether the faculty allow the group to perform for the final concert. If they let us perform, I will know the group was a success.","I was satisfied with my learning progress, and felt that all three concerts were successes. I had audience members give me compliments to the group after a couple of the concerts. The masterclass was probably what I benefited from most. Mrs. Jarka helped me learn to relax certain muscles in the back, neck, and wrist, which has made practicing since them much more comfortable. The week after camp I practiced five hours a day to prepare for the All State Orchestra camp, and without the masterclass, I would probably not have had the physical endurance to practice for that amount of time. Also, releasing some of the tension in my wrist has allowed me to have a more precise bow stroke, and get clearer sound, especially on fast notes. I also learned a lot from the chamber group coachings. The group I was with was at a higher level than any I had played with before, and the coach was really able to zero in on some things I could do better as a chamber musician.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",100,"Other,local or private",600,,,,"Name of minor withheld due to MN Statutes 2018, section 3.303.10",Individual,"Art Study Opportunity for Youth",,"Southwest Minnesota String Festival.",2018-05-15,2018-07-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,,,"Name of minor withheld due to MN Statutes 2018, section 3.303.10",,,MN,,,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,Lyon,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-study-opportunity-youth-8,"Michele Sterner: theatre, SMAC Board; Bobbie Alsgaard-Lien: visual art, education; Reggie Gorter: music, theatre; John Larson: visual art; Dana Miller: writing, visual art, education; Joyce Meyer: visual art, education, SMAC Board; Karen Pfeiffer, music.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; 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; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Lisa Hill: musician, Crow River Singers, attorney; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2 10005976,"Art Study Opportunity for Youth",2018,500,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","My goals are to work up an ensemble piece with other students and have a smooth final performance of it, to be able to play at full tempo all the songs in my current Suzuki book, and to have learned answers to any or all of my questions concerning theory and technique.

This half day lecture/discussion and one and a half day workshop supports Big Stone Arts Council's mission to develop and promote the arts in Big Stone Lake area by providing our rural residents with an exceptional arts learning experience that they would not have access to otherwise in this region.A written participant survey will ask for feedback on whether the participant is receiving valuable information, tools and experience in the art of storytelling. A felt quilt board will allow participants to express their level of understanding as they answer particular questions through color patches that vary in color intensity as the day and workshop proceeds, allowing us to gauge success of the teacher and teachings/activities during the experience, rather than waiting for the end survey. In this way the participant will have an active effect on their experience as we encourage discussion of the quilt. Oral feedback will also be encouraged during breaks, etc. A guest book registration will reflect visitor numbers and contact info for after care. Building success will be measured by returning guests, both from last year and after Friday night's free event.

For example, a lesson on textiles and or basket weaving has an aim of course, of creating a basket, but also future work in math and learning about ancient cultures. In addition to cultivating artistic skills and hand-eye coordination, we hope to cultivate a sense of art appreciation in youth.Our teachers will implement the use of rubric to see if the child has learned the technique"" being offered. The teacher provides the mechanical technique and fosters an environment where the child's individual spirit is free to express and develop itself. Setting up a rubric will help see visible signs of attempting each step. At the end of the program we will also ask parents to complete surveys grading each class, the teachers, the technique taught and implemented and to rate their student's advancement and skill level. We will ask the students themselves to rate the classes, teachers and projects to gain insight on what classes we should be teaching at the center. We will survey the teachers for suggestions on future classes to add to the curriculum. Visitors to the gallery will be asked to tell us their impression of the show at Meet the Artist reception and during the following week when the students work is on display.""","The Jackson Pollock day was a truly wonderful aspect of this summer arts camp.

The community will benefit by greater appreciation of where we are from and the great impact of Frederick Manfred.Reading Rocks the County: the public will be asked to submit an evaluation form at the end of the reading project; school educators will be surveyed following the event to ask for comments and suggestions on reading materials and student's reaction to the project.

They intend to shoot the film in Minnesota in 2014. As stated in my grant, having time to help build my body of work has been frustrating. Through the grant, I was able to complete the work and get in into the world. My instincts were confirmed: when I write what I love, people respond. Also, by hiring eleven actors for the reading, each actor was able to expand their craft through training, rehearsal, and the experience of a public reading. The opportunity gave them a chance to expand their resumes. Also, the actors read in front of a director who was interested in casting for the film roles. 2) My screenplay won the McKnight Award and was part of the Emerging Narrative series in New York City. These awards, combined with the option agreement, are a strong confirmation that I have achieved the goals I established in the grant request. 2: 1. Completing the work, growing my portfolio, putting my work out into the world, all amazing achievements during this process and due to the generosity of this grant. In addition, the public reading helped others Minnesotans to engage in the work. The actors read in front of an audience of more than 40 community members. A brief Q and A after the reading gave the audience members an opportunity to ask questions of both the writer and actors. 2. A headcount was taken of audience members who attended the reading.

Since the grant allowed me to not be concerned with selling, I had time to do immense research on older and current self-portraits by other artists. This helped my use of new color schemes in my work and generated new ideas. 2) Evaluation comes from my audience viewing my new work and then giving positive remarks about it. Some said they really enjoyed my vibrant colors and were moved by my emotional approach to some of the paintings. Many viewers also stated they enjoyed the realism one of my works, Always Reaching."" This realism is created by my accuracy in observing and painting value (darks and lights). Sally Strand's class made this accuracy possible. 2: 1.

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

We worked on identifying curators, galleries, and museums to introduce my artwork to through promotional packets and strategies for approaching; identifying resources for researching other exhibition venues; using social media tools for networking and marketing; updating email list including media, curators, and gallery directors; identifying newsletter programs for marketing; and identifying resources for grants, fellowships, and additional revenue streams. Purchased GYST software and manual. Evaluated: A plan is developed for approaching curators and exhibition spaces and the resources established to move this forward.

News and events have successfully reached a much wider audience through these tools and can be evaluated with statistics from the Facebook Studio Page, and “Mentions” or “Retweets” with Twitter. 2: Achieved: Through exhibitions, television program, open studios, events, and online.

From there I was able to start taking myself seriously. I kept a journal of all my grant related activities. I kept good books, noted every penny I used, and this process gave me ideas about how much things cost and how much I need to get myself going as a business. When tax time came, I got to see what self-employment in the Fine Arts meant financially. Overall, this grant brought me closer to producing income from my art.""",,,,2000,,,,"Margaret M.

This bore directly on my perception of being boxed in, with connections and recognized skills tightly clustered around the Irish and Scottish musical traditions. The grant has enabled me to forge relationships outside of that area which I plan to build upon, going forward, and has brought to light unsuspected collaboration opportunities between other musicians who had not met or worked together before this project. 2: We created a show based around a dozen songs with a strong link to Minnesota history and heritage, and have had the opportunity to share them with the local public in several ways so far: via radio, on the internet, in workshops for adults and children, and in live shows. The songs bring with them the opportunity to mention little-known and colorful figures from Minnesota history, such as J. P. Wentling, who came to St Anthony from Pennsylvania in the late 1800's and was the first known person to capture a Squonk.

These included: A) a short film called “firebird / last dream” in collaboration with experimental vocalist / McKnight Composer Fellow Viv Corringham that was chosen for the Duluth Superior Film Festival (June 1, 2012) and the Flyway Film Festival (October 2012). B) The crucible triptych: “iowa 1,” “iowa 2,” and “I remember death, honey for keith haring,” which appeared at the Prøve Gallery in Duluth (August 10-24, 2012). C) The stillness triptych: “white stone / blue sky,” “graffiti angel / still bridge,” and “watches 4 sale: we were ribcages w/o watches” released online. D) various iterations using the infinite film generator that was created for the “graffiti angel” (these were called: “graffiti angel / blue,” “graffiti angel / birdland,” and “graffiti angel / night rain). E) an installation version of the cinematic work called “graffiti angel / infinity part 1” that was shown at the Ochre Ghost Gallery in Duluth (September 9-21, 2012). To evaluate the success of these achievements, at each performance, installation opening and film showing, I made time to talk with audience members. Many of these discussions continued online. People in my community are generous with their feedback and I found these one-on-one conversations to be deeply informative. I made a point of working with other artists that I respect; I was inspired and educated by their creative process. I worked with different local arts venues and benefited by their kind mentorship as I shaped the work to successfully show in their spaces. I conducted informal “show-and-tell” discussions with other artists to gather feedback for specific pieces. 2: I met with a Springboard for the Arts consultant and attended the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture annual conference in Minneapolis. I studied how dancers, visual artists and writers work with time and space. I took a field trip to New York during the Whitney Biennial and the New Museum Triennial and looked at these exhibits and others about town. The Stephen Petronio Company was at the Joyce Theater. I went to one of their performances and was quite moved by the union of sound, movement and abstract narrative. Choreography influenced my still-motion work.

Though the performers learned a lot and gained experience playing new music, the composers themselves really learned the most. There was much discussion between the composers and I about how the harpsichord works best, and what kinds of textures to use. Also, as stated later on, composers listening to the concerts became really excited about the sound possibilities of the harpsichord in their own compositions. I measured the success of this outcome by the liveliness of the discussions that I had with the composers, and the eventual resulting compositions. They were all excellent, and completely different from each other. I also measured success by the number of new composers who expressed interest in writing for the harpsichord in the future. I spoke to at least 4 composers who seemed excited and interested in doing this. 2: More Minnesotans were able to engage in or with the works of Minnesota artists through this project. Again, focusing on the composers, these 4 new works were performed 4 times in concert for this project. Many composers don't get their works performed beyond the premiere, but in addition to the premiere concert, I was able to schedule 3 more performances in collaboration with Zeitgeist (more on this below). Additionally, because of the recording, some of my colleagues will perform these works in the future.

Without intending it, I had exposed them to an unfamiliar idiom (Czech, Slovak, and Rusyn folk music) that became a learning experience for each of them on their instruments, with the added challenge of successfully melding that folk music with the American folk styles they are more familiar with. I also learned a great deal about American bluegrass, country, and Americana with the added challenge of arranging Eastern European songs in an American folk idiom. The evaluation is in the musicians' comments to me and in what I hear on the recording—a seamless confluence of styles. 2: For the first time, I self-produced both a solo album and an accompanying CD release party, both of which required tremendous planning, promotion, networking, researching, budgeting, and negotiating. Without working diligently on each of those skills, I could neither have completed the album, nor could the performance have been scheduled in time (the album was released 2 weeks before the grant period ended, with the show shortly thereafter on April 20). The most obvious achievement was in the promotion of both: I had interviews on KFAI's Womenfolk and Fubar Omniverse and on Minnesota Public Radio's Radio Heartland; I had radio play beyond those programs; I included Quick Response codes on my posters to track traffic to my site; at least 2 venues (Cesko-Slovanský Podporující Spolek Hall and Black Dog Café) promoted my work on my behalf; and I used Facebook and social media nearly every day to gain exposure.

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

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

With the funds from this grant, however, I was able to learn and study a form of music called Pagode with a group of about 20 people. I evaluated this experience in two ways. First, I asked all of the participants for feedback at the end of each of our workshops to assess how the learning experience was going for them. The response was overwhelmingly positive and people were appreciative of the opportunity. Second, the clearest evidence of success is the fact that we are now a Pagode ensemble. I have learned the music and the particular band leadership needed for this music. Not to mention, I have a core group of about 12 people who are able to play this music on the traditional Brazilian instruments and provide the required backup vocals (call and response). We continue to play out on an ongoing basis. 2: I learned many skills during this project through having to book a large group (7 - 10 players), record this music with a sound engineer, co-implementing workshops, and working with a web design on my own website.

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

The manuscript has moved from a series of discrete images or impressions to ten chapters, arranged chronologically, and communicated in a consistent narrative voice. My evaluation of the achievement in connected to Part B in that over the course of the year I had both agents and editors ask for the full draft of the manuscript and offer encouraging remarks about the quality of the writing, voice, concept and story. Three agents and two editors who ultimately passed on the memoir (after reading the full draft, but declining for reasons of marketability) encouraged me to resubmit to them in the future, especially if I had a novel. This suggests to me that the revision was successful. 2: Over the course of the year I submitted to 31 agents and 4 editors at small presses. 6 agents asked for the full manuscript. The memoir is still under consideration with two of those agents. Editors who asked for the full included Jeff Shotts at Graywolf, Alexis Rizzuto at Beacon, and Daniel Slager at Milkweed.

Both of these projects have received positive responses from editors--3 of which want to see more of my stories. All 3 stories are currently with editors. 2: 1. I expanded my online presence by creating an author web site, an author page on Facebook, and partaking in a group blog that writes about children's books (Worddisco). I spoke at a Children's Literature Network breakfast where I networked with teachers and librarians. I was a visiting author for twelve elementary schools in Minnesota, which allowed me to improve my presentations. 2. I have 240 fans for my author page on Facebook. Teachers have contacted me through my web site and through Children's Literature Network. Here's a quote from a school I visited: Trisha Speed Shaskan is an author full of fun and enthusiasm. The children feed off of her passion for books and reading. She gears her demonstrations to meet the appropriate age of the audience. Trisha will ask questions of the audience and get them to interact with her as she talks about her various books of both fiction and nonfiction. The students loved her.""",,,,10000,,,,"Trisha S.

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

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

Working together with an artist-in-residence will encourage students to see art as an integral part of their education and as well positive aspect in their community. In theory, this collaboration experience will result in a greater appreciation for the visual arts in the Becker community as a whole. This community appreciation will ignite through an opportunity to witness and enjoy the artwork with a community artwork unveiling. The public unveiling event would be an optimum time to showcase other student artwork as well- a district art show per se. A measurable outcome of this art show event would be student, parent and public attendance numbers as well as publicity articles in the local paper as well as on our district website and electronic outdoor reader board. This piece of art will be a permanent part of one of our main entrances on the school campus. Although the specific subject matter of the mosaic has yet to be decided, school colors and mascot emblems would be a well-received, community-inspired choice. Visitors to the school will feel a sense of Bulldog Pride"" as the mosaic piece will be prominently displayed.Student goal achievement will be measured based on an evaluation rubric, self-reflection and peer review. Since participation will not be included in a class grade assessment, the rubric and other evaluation tools will be for objective purposes only. Four themes will be highlighted on the rubric: 1) Collaboration, 2) Creativity, 3) Critical Thinking, and 4) Methods/Techniques. Criteria under each theme may include the following: Did the students effectively work with each other in completing the project? Do they understand the values and variations in texture, pattern and contrast? What specific artistic skills did the students take away from this project? In working as a team, what were some of the rewards and some of the challenges? How did the student add to the design process of the piece? Peer critique will also be used in evaluation (""peers"" may include students as well as administrators, community members, the Artist In Residence herself as well as the art teachers involved with the collaboration). This method can lead to refined and evaluated thoughts and can maximize artistic efforts and ideas between individuals. By interpreting othersÆ opinions and thoughts in visual form, students not only realize their own interpretations of beliefs but also of those of other cultural and historical perspectives. Critiquing through an open-ended but guided prompt encourages students to respond with originality but also gain a sense of appreciation for othersÆ work. Reflection and review on this scale can lead to an increase in self-confidence, self-discipline, motivation and persistence.""","Collaboration through art making was the most fundamental goal of this residency.

First in creating the puppets they will be making creatures from many types of material. The follow up in painting them and then actually using them in a parade experience will give the children a chance to see them come to life. The whole experience will be one that will be creative and one that they will remember. The activities that Chris has planned for this residency will lead to the children to create puppets in a creative manner. The puppets will have many facial expressions that the children can combine with other puppets to create many moods. The project is so new for the children that it will be one they will remember for years to come. The arts experience to be gained by the children will not only encourage creativeness but also give the children one of their first experiences of working together toward a common goal of creating puppets. This experience will also be unique for one of our educational partners in which the College of Saint Benedict students who work with the children will have a special learning experience. They will now have a new way to teach art lessons to their future classes. To give them this opportunity to have a hands experience in such a new learning project will be one that will impact their teaching for years to come. This experience will result in these future kindergarten teachers preparing a unit plan for their future classrooms about puppets.Since this is such a hands-on project, the vast majority of the evaluation will be done by observation. The teachers have a number of measurements that are used to make artistic goals. They will have a daily journal of what is taking place with the children. Also, we will ask Chris to keep a log of what he sees the children doing as the puppets evolve. The main assessment for the project will be done by John who is a former teacher and university dean. He will be writing the evaluation report for the project. Also, the principal and art teacher will be involved in assessing the value of the project. As described earlier it will be the daily logs of the teachers who will keep track of how the children are progressing in making the puppets. The main thing we plan to learn from this project is to see how such a unique one can take place at the kindergarten level. We are bringing a new opportunity to these young children for the first time. The teachers are excited to make this happen for the children. We plan to use the results of our evaluation in planning for a project like this in the future for our primary age children. In making this available for the first time to such a young audience at Clearview Elementary we are bringing puppetry alive for 100 children. This has not happened before and thus we are clearly meeting the goal of making art more accessible for Minnesotans. We will measure this outcome by seeing the final result at the public program when the children display their work. But also, we will see what the teachers and Chris say in their journals about the project on a daily basis.","This residency in puppetry proved to be a wonderful experience for the children.

Specifically, it will accelerate the maturation of young people by providing an in-depth experience performing and studying brass chamber music as well as bringing a high-quality brass performance to Adrian. The goals of this residency are to: 1. Provide youth with the skills and tools to take music outside of the classroom and past the printed page. 2. Instill in young people an abiding love of music that results in lifelong engagement on many levels; playing, attending concerts, supporting the arts and teaching. 3. Increase each student's understanding and skill in music, and provide an opportunity to perform in public next to professional musicians. 4. Provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of instrumental technique for brass instruments. 5. Provide a chance for community members to experience live professional brass music. There are several benchmarks that myself and The CSB will monitor to know our project has successfully met the above goals, and 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. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with The CSB at their evening performance. The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves both in the classroom sessions and afterwards. The CSB utilizes a feedback survey for me and other staff and volunteers to measure the overall reaction to the program, best and worst portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement. Additionally, we will ask the audience to do a brief survey at the evening performance for evaluative purposes. The CSB and I will also get verbal feedback from students in the classroom and from audience members at the concert. In addition to the surveys, the CSB also stays in the concert hall after the evening performance and makes a point to invite conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate and important reflection of their effectiveness on stage. In the context of a residency, it is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on the CSB's impact on their child from the residency.","I evaluated this project based on my students’ reactions and take-aways from the day. It was clear to me when Copper Street Brass was working with my students that this was an excellent opportunity for them. Most of my students don't have the opportunity to watch a professional group perform so this was an eye-opening experience for them. It also helped the non-music students in the elementary and middle school to gain a better appreciation of music, both traditional and modern. Talking to my students makes it clear to see that this project made a big impact on them, their learning, and their appreciation for music and music performance.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",,,4000,,"Ed Lenz, Chris Wolf, Robert Kunkel Jr, David Bullerman, Lisa Kruger, Les Madison, Chad Wieneke",,"Adrian Public Schools","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools",,"Residency with the CSB.",2018-01-31,2018-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Vanessa,VanderWal,"Adrian Public Schools","415 Kentucky Ave",Adrian,MN,56110,"(507) 483-2232 ",v.vanderwal@isd511.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,Nobles,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-schools-66,"Mary Kay Frisvold: Music; Tamara Isfeld: Visual Art, Education; Candace Joens: Music, Theatre; Cindy Demers: Visual, Education; Brett Lehman: SMAC Board; Joyce Meyer: SMAC Board; David KelseyBassett: SMAC Board.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; 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; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, South Dakota Arts Educators Association, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor SMSU; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice, dance teacher; Dana Conroy: producer, filmmaker; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2 10005927,"Arts in the Schools",2018,4000,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","1.

We will work with the Rock County Fine Arts Association and the artists on the planning committee to finalize the design for the fiberglass nutcracker by working with the fiberglass manufacturing firm. This group will determine the shape, size, style and function of the blank form. We will work with businesses, organizations, individuals and public entities to determine the locations of placement of the nutcrackers. This will include getting written agreements with property owners as to the locations the nutcracker statues will be placed. We will work with the City of Luverne and the fiberglass company to identify and determine the process and materials needed to place permanent statues. We will get final written agreements as to who will be putting the statues in place. We will work on getting annual sponsors to support the creation of the final product. By receiving these annual pledges, we will ensure that the statues will be cared for in the long-term. Through this process we will also determine the schedule for the nutcrackers to be redone (every three to five years) and develop the annual budget for their maintenance and care.

Outcome Two: The fine art nutcrackers have been on display at the History Center in downtown Luverne since the middle of June. The hosts at the History Center have asked people what they think of the ten art pieces on display. There have been approximately 1,000 guests at the museum over the last two months and they report that they see a variety of things. Some of the people say that they look like nutcrackers. Others say that they look like the prairie, painting, farm or interpretation of design. The mini-nutcrackers have given the committee the opportunity to see that things can be interpreted differently. Outcome Three: We have the 10 small nutcrackers on permanent display. Very occasionally do people ask to have us take them out and more closely look at them. The biggest hindrance to the public embracing them is that they are in a glass case and out of public reach. Outcome Four: At the beginning of the project, we thought we would have a lot of interest from artists to participate. We found out that there was quite a bit of skepticism about the concept of public art nutcrackers. It was harder than we thought to encourage artists to be part of the project.

STC is committed to providing high quality theatre programming that is accessible to all youth and families. Many greater Minnesota schools have self-identified as needing more arts integrated learning opportunities for students and embedded staff development; this project not only helps to meet those needs, but also introduces subject matter and arts learning opportunities not readily available to schools in greater Minnesota. The connection of arts integration in the classroom is simply not a resource within our region. Now that we've seen what can happen in those kinds of classes, we want to work to make sure all of our students get to experience at least once. 2) Supporting high-quality, age-appropriate arts education for residents of all ages to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of the arts. Students learn how to creatively express their viewpoints and in the showcase each student has an opportunity to convey his or her unique perspective. Role-playing, team-building exercises, and creative expression offer learners tactics they can use in their daily interactions. Using creativity as a driver, teaching artists help develop students' and teachers' capacity to question, challenge, make decisions, and uncover solutions. PoP activities are helping to achieve the stated outcomes for students to learn how to become agents for peace in their communities through creative expression and collaboration and for teachers to learn arts integration strategies they can implement when teaching topics related to social issues and across curricula. A. Collaborative survey design to gather baseline data to measure objectives (previous arts experience, teachers' familiarity with theatre arts instruction) and inform instructional planning (student and teacher ideas of peace-related issues present at their school). B. Pre-project survey to assess student skills, knowledge, engagement, and changes in classroom culture; teacher surveys will document changes in teacher skills, knowledge, and comfort in using arts integration strategies in the classroom. C. Similar post-project survey to identify growth by students and teachers and gather feedback on project implementation D. Written report of survey findings presented to leaders and teaching artists and used to refine plans for subsequent residencies. E. Final report that includes data from all surveys, classroom and performance observations, artist reflections, and analysis of student work. In addition to measuring key objectives, surveys ask teachers for detailed feedback to help improve the program. Evaluator observations of classroom sessions, student journals, public showcases and reflections from artists also will be used to measure effectiveness. All surveys will be administered online.","Of the 65 kids who participated: Prior to the project, only 18 felt comfortable speaking publicly.

A second goal of this project is to encourage an appreciation for artistic expression in young children that parents or other family members can nurture at home. This goal aligns with SMAC main goal #4, ôsupporting high-quality, and age-appropriate arts education for residents of all ages to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of the arts.ö Through over 25 hands-on attractions at Crayola Experience, children and families will explore and learn. Goal #1 will be evaluated by registration numbers, collecting demographic information on participants to determine if we were able to successfully reach families of color and low income. Goal #2 will be evaluated in two ways; 1) through post-participation surveys to families about what they learned from the experience and how they incorporate art experiences into the home; and 2) event leaders will document participant experience through photographs and anecdotal stories and observations.","1) 33 families participated including 9 Somali, 10 Caucasian, 12 Hispanic and 2 Asian. 2. 38 adults, 68 children and 4 staff members attended. 3) 28/28 evaluations reported their favorite part of the trip day was watching their children participate in art activities. 4) 6/28 families reported willingness to plan future art experiences for children in the community. 5) 10/28 families reported they learned new ways to incorporate art into their home. 6) 28/28 families reported wanting to return to Crayola Experience again.","Achieved proposed outcomes.",1166,"Other,local or private",3385,,"Mike Reynolds, Justin Bos, Scott Thaden, Tammy Barnes, Mary Amon, Jay Lawton, Michael O'Brien",,"Willmar Public Schools/ECFE","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools",,"Crayola Experience Field Trip.",2018-03-15,2018-05-25,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,LaRae,Mikkelson,"Willmar Public Schools/ECFE","1234 Kandiyohi Ave SW",Willmar,MN,56201,"(320) 231-8492 ",mikkelsonl@willmar.k12.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Kandiyohi, Renville, Swift",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-schools-77,"Deb Ahmann: literature, theatre, education; Mary Kay Frisvold: music; Denise Hepola: music, education; Jan Loft: education; Janet Olney: visual art, SMAC Board; Emily Petersen: visual art, education, SMAC Board; John White: visual art, writing, SMAC Board.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor, director, teacher; 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; Pam Blake: retired art educator, visual artist, Tyler Arts Council, Lincoln County Art Fair, Southwest Minnesota Weaver's Guild; Michele Knife Sterner: theatre actor, SMSU Associate director for Access Opportunity Success program; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Aakre: visual arts, writing, Discover Dassel committee, Board member for Litchfield Community Education, Exhibit committee for Dassel Area Historical Society; Emily Petersen: visual artist, art teacher; David KelseyBassett: visual artist, musician; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: human resources director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Erica Volkir: performing arts, Director of Pipestone Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB; Claire Swanson: visual arts, arts teacher, Meander Art Crawl Committee.",,2 10005990,"Arts in the Schools",2018,4000,"Laws of Minnesota 2017 Regular Session, chapter 91, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","1.

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

The ensembles made fast and deep connections with K-12 students during educational workshops and instrument demonstrations, with older adults in senior citizen centers, and with adult residents through informal community outreach activities and the formal public performance. During the two-year cycle, ensembles from Egypt, Israel, Indonesia, and China reached 9,437 residents in Detroit Lakes, including 6,700 youth, through 42 community and educational activities and four public performances. We evaluated the success of the residencies based on quantitative attendance figures at events, qualitative feedback from students and audience members, and conversations with our community partner, Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center. At the end of the first year of the cycle, Amy Stoller Stearns, Executive Director of the Historic Holmes Theater at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center, wrote: With Yamma Ensemble, as with Wust el Balad, the most successful part was the variety and depth of groups we were able to reach within a week's time.

These outcomes were monitored and evaluated through informal observations, a reflection journal kept by artists, pre and post surveys given to staff and artists, as well as planning with Lifeworks staff after each eight week session to refine the next set of classes based on feedback. Note we changed the name of the project to ArtLife. ArtStart selected Lifeworks because they came to us initially to develop an 8-week visual arts program inspired by nature for a group of eight adults with developmental disabilities. The model worked very well and both organizations wanted to deepen the relationship to reach other Lifework adults, hence, the ArtLife project. Some activities and art media worked better than others, as participants had such a wide range of abilities and interests. The key to success for artists was the ability to individualize instruction, be flexible and come prepared with one than one idea or medium. It was made very clear by Lifeworks staff that an artist could not miss a session, as maintaining routine and relationship were essential to the well-being of participants. The most challenging aspect of the entire program was the lack of an adequate art facility at two sites. 2: ArtStart's ArtLife project achieved one outcome in this area which was to celebrate and share each participant's unique artistic expression within the Lifeworks family and the greater community. This outcome was evaluated primarily through observation and documentation of participant art exhibited at each site. In addition, ArtLife participants' art work will be showcased at Lifework's annual gala in late April 2013, which is attended each year by 1,000 participants, families, and funders. We were able to reach an additional 550 adults with developmental disabilities through this program model, as well as 1,000 community members who have/will view the art work produced as a result of this program. The program was developed by the executive director in collaboration with Lifeworks administration. The model rotated a group of 8-12 individuals working with an artist team through an 8-week program that met two times per week. Midstream we changed the model to add two more sites and split up the artists who were initially working in teams. Artists felt comfortable working on their own with the support of Lifeworks staff.

With the addition of a workshop by Gwen Westerman, Dakota artist and poet, these three concepts were beautifully brought together. She conducted a half day workshop during the staff development component and also spoke to all 10th grade Edina High School students during the residency on the Dakota Conflict and the importance of the confluence to the Dakota People. Educators, artists, and naturalists at Fort Snelling gained a new appreciation for the significance of place to a culture. School board members in Edina and other teaching staff also gained a similar appreciation of arts integration at the secondary level to inspire and inform the cultural/historical significance of place.

These artists were chosen for their knowledge of and skills in performing baroque music in a historically informed way, making the performance authentic and exciting!

The 2012 program exceeded our goals by serving over 1,100 youth from 14 organizations including community resource centers (Neighborhood House, Transition Plus, Northfield Healthy Communities Initiatives) school-based programs (District 196 Young Scholars, Rahn Elementary Arts and Technology Magnet, HeadStart) homeless shelters (Cornerstone, Lewis House) and programs for new immigrants, English as a Second Language students, and foster families. All partners were interested in further enrichment opportunities at Caponi Art Park. We also noted return visits from participating youth who brought family to the park. Our targeted group for the project was low-income and at-risk youths in Dakota County and the south metro who are in supervised activities with limited enrichment programs and field trips due to the lack of funding. This group was selected based on conversations with youth program providers about their barriers to attending arts programming at Caponi Art Park, and stems from our strategic goal of increasing community outreach and expanding youth programming. Relationships were built by identifying and connecting with organizations that serve the targeted population in Dakota County. 2: Organizations that serve our target population were able to bring over 1,100 underserved youth to the park who have had limited access to arts programming. Without Creative Adventures' financial support, these 14 groups would not have been able to engage in quality arts programming. Organizations that serve our target population face real financial and transportation barriers in scheduling trips to Caponi Art Park and participating in the activities. Perceived barriers included perceptions that art is not designed for children. Our existing partners and others that serve our target population expressed their desire to engage more deeply with the Art Park, but were prevented by these barriers. The strategies designed to address these barriers included providing arts programming free of charge and up to $250 per organization for transportation costs to organizations serving our targeted population.

We also participated in the annual CLUES Book Fiesta. In response to demand from families attending our events, Children's Theatre Company also held one open house for our Theatre Arts Training program, including bilingual demonstration classes and information on how to register for Theatre Arts Training classes. In total, we build relationships with more than 1,300 members of the Latino community through these events and built or strengthening partnerships with nearly twenty Latino-serving organizations. We evaluated our outcomes by recording attendance at all events and by partnering with Wilder Research to administer post-show surveys to measure the degree to which participants felt welcome and their likelihood to return to Children's Theatre Company. 100% of survey respondents said they would return to Children's Theatre Company. 2: Our target group was Latino families in the Twin Cities area. While the Latino population of the Twin Cities is rapidly growing, Latino families continue to be underrepresented at Children's Theatre Company public performances and in our Theatre Arts Training classes. The results of our surveys during the grant period confirmed this need to build relationships within this growing community: only 18% of participants had come to Children's Theatre Company before attending one of our events. Based on our attendance rates, the proposed activities were a good match for the intended participants. Overall, 75% of those who registered for an event attended. Building relationships with members of the Latino community through our events and the work of our Cultural Liaisons also led us to develop additional activities as a result of this grant, including the Theatre Arts Training open house, a Spanish-language phone line, a Spanish-language section of our website, and new translations of production and education materials.",,,,59608,8404,"Lynn Abbott, Tony Abena, Stefanie Adams, Mary Beattie, Ellen Bendel-Stenzel, Michael Blum, Renee Burke, Morgan Burns, Barbara Burwell, Jim Carlson, Peter Carter, Y.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We talked to both the youth and the elders about their experience, and they unanimously said they learned a lot about art and about each other and loved every minute of working together.","We worked with teenagers and older adults--together. Older teens have fewer options than younger children, especially during the summer, for participating in the arts. And once older adults' mobility is limited, their art-making opportunities can be severely restricted. During the six-week program, participants learned to create mosaics. Participants made individual mosaics (on items such as picture frames and vases, and as stand-alone panels) and the youth and some older adults completed a stunning group project which will be permanently displayed at Lyngblomsten, where the older adults live. While COMPAS built relationships with the participants, the strongest relationships were built between the youth and the elders. Ten youth (15 to 20 years old) and approximately twenty older adults worked with a COMPAS artist and assistant artist for six weeks. The teens were part of our summer youth employment program. We see a need for teaching up-and-coming artists how to use their talents to make a living, providing older adults opportunities to create meaningful art, and bringing different groups together around making art to start conversations and to spark new ideas and creativity. Making mosaics was a good match. Older adults could start and stop as their energy allowed. It allowed individual creativity and group activity. It provided an easy backdrop for conversation. It could be done by beginners and more advanced artists. Relationships started with getting-to-know-you activities but really grew while people chatted and exchanged stories as they made art. Relationships with the youth were strengthened as we brought in people to work on employment skills and think through career options. 2: By bringing the work site to the older adults' residence, and creating an easy-to-navigate work site layout, we removed many barriers. The work space was set up in a large tent on the grounds of Lyngblomsten so the elders could easily get to the work space. Tables were set up at a height that worked with wheelchairs, and aides brought the elders to and from the tent. One unexpected outcome was how much the teens helped the elders. When an elder didn't have the hand strength to cut a tile for their mosaic, there was always a youth nearby to help. Youth also brought supplies within easy reach of the elders. The work site was also easy for the youth to get to by either bike or bus. One of our favorite sights from the summer was the combination of bike handles and wheelchair handles that populated the work tent. We originally thought Lyngblomsten aides would need to help the elders with more of the project, but in very little time the youth apprentice artists took over helping the elders. This was without asking them, and they all reported that working with the elders was one of the things they enjoyed about the program. Having the work site on Lyngblomsten's grounds worked well to eliminate barriers, perhaps most importantly the barrier of fear. The elders were willing to give it a try because they knew they could easily leave if they did not enjoy it or if they got tired. The familiar location encouraged many of them to try the art form. We even had a few participants who re-engaged in other art forms, such as painting, to create something to put inside a picture frame they had made into a mosaic.",,237,"Other, local or private",39077,8952,"Cheryl Bock, Alan Ruvelson, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Nasir Raja, Louis Porter, Patricia Rossez, Robert Erickson, Sahar Erickson, Pamela Johnson, Diane Kuhlmann, Therace Risch, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Roderic Southall, Irene Suddard.",,"COMPAS, Inc.

We achieved this by presenting four concerts throughout Minnesota with support from those communities. In order to evaluate this outcome, audience members were given short surveys to fill out during and after the performances. From this survey, we were able to see that most audience members found out about our performances from the local newspaper and emails and newsletters from the presenting partners. When asked if they would attend another performance by Ensemble 61, the response was overwhelmingly favorable. Ensemble 61 toured to Alexandria, Glenwood, Fergus Falls and New York Mills. Regional arts council websites were used to identify communities in greater Minnesota that have a history of supporting the arts and that might be interested in hosting a performance by Ensemble 61. Previous professional contacts from Alexandria were also used to arrange for that performance. In order to engage the audience in each community, members of Ensemble 61 gave a pre-concert talk about the music being performed. We also talked about the music during the performance itself for those who were unable to attend the pre-concert talk. In addition, members of Ensemble 61 made themselves available at the intermission and after the performances to interact directly with audience members and to answer any questions or converse about the performance. It was apparent from the survey that the pre-concert talk was overwhelmingly helpful to the audience members’ concert experience. The pre-concert talks helped to demystify some of the music being performed. 2: Ensemble 61 was able to perform in four communities in Greater Minnesota which we have not performed in prior to this tour. Our intended outcome was to perform and explain contemporary music to new audiences.

In each community, we presented a concert and educational outreach element in various venues, to include theaters, performing arts centers, school auditoriums, and open air venues. The educational component varied, depending primarily on public school schedules and availability, or the time of year. In most cases, this was a multimedia History of Bluegrass K-12 program presented to the student body, or to smaller groups such as band, orchestra and choir students. Attendance of each concert, school program or outreach event was recorded. Presenter partners kept data regarding underprivileged and/or underserved groups that participated. We received direct feedback from our presenter partners on the artistic and financial efficacy of the concerts, and hundreds of surveys and questionnaires from students and attending teachers and educators. 2: One of the project goals was to present world-class bluegrass concerts and educational programs to communities that had never been visited by Monroe Crossing, or not in many years. For a Twin Cities-based artist that is approaching 1500 concert appearances in their 13 years, that is not as easy as one would think. New venues and presenter partners included the Moonshine Showcase in Wabasha, Music in Owatonna, Marshall Area Fine Arts Council in Marshall, Jackson County Central Schools in Jackson, and the James W. Mann Center in New York Mills. It had been a number of years since Monroe Crossing last performed in Detroit Lakes, Austin, Willmar, Glenwood, Worthington and Pequot Lakes. And it was Monroe Crossing's first opportunity in every community to present a concert in combination with an educational outreach program. The evaluation process of the intended outcomes is described above in the response to question A.2. and is listed here again.

For many students this was there first time acting in front of an audience. Our methods included the number of students participating (through daily attendance) and a count of audience members at the performance; we also utilized a consulting company to create a program matrix and conduct pre-surveys, post-surveys and principal interviews. Two focus groups of students were also conducted. In order to deliver sequential, in-depth theatre arts lessons, the teaching artist spent one hour per day four days per week over a three week period in each classroom with the arts learners. The artist also had a four-hour pre-planning meeting and a four-hour evaluation session, as well as two-hour weekly consultation discussions, with each teacher (individually and in groups). The most effective strategy is utilizing our history of successful collaborations with the school district, teachers and administrators. Building upon this successful 15 year history allowed this program to be conducted during the school day; we are the only local arts group allowed this opportunity. As teaching to the test"" is a large part of current daily work-- allowing a three-week residency into the schedule is an obstacle for many educators. The value and results of this arts residency proved the time was well spent and great learning was happening in the arts for fourth graders. 2: The barrier of cost was identified and eliminated as there was no cost to the participants. Transportation was eliminated as the teaching artist provided the arts learning at the student's school. The teaching artist helped students and teachers gain an appreciation of the arts by creating fun and engaging activities that promote arts learning and self confidence. We utilized a consulting company to create a program matrix and conduct pre-surveys, post-surveys and principal interviews. Two focus groups were also conducted with fourth grade students. The barrier of cost was identified as three of the seven participating schools have student populations with 50% or greater qualifying for free or reduced-priced meals. Educators have identified that high quality arts experiences that can happen IN the schools have great value. The students also attended a GREAT Theatre production off site (with a no-cost ticket) as having a chance for students to experience art in the community is also a great learning tool. Again, the strategies used include an engaging artists, quality curriculum/artists plan, financial resources to keep costs down and effective evaluation to improve the program.

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

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

Staff workshop was well attended and residency was reinforced by staff input. Students had hands-on"" work with Dakota artist Fern Cloud, as well as language specialist Teresa Peterson. The field trips to Lower Sioux and Walnut Grove also exposed the students to Dakota history and culture as well as early pioneer life. Students actually made butter and corn bread and had the opportunity to write about what they experienced. They made dolls using the materials used by early pioneers. The days spent with poet, Florence Dacey helped them learn how to write poetry using the skills she taught them. She also taught them how to revise and present their work. 2: Students gained both an understanding of the written word and an appreciation for the culture of the Dakota. This was evaluated by student work, teacher evaluation of student improvement and parent input. Students were given pre and post surveys and these were compared. Students shared their knowledge and understanding in class discussions as well as at the public event. Dakota hide paintings and other art work was displayed complete with artist's statements. Students shared their understanding while hosting the lunch following the art show/ poetry reading. Public was impressed with the depth of understand and composure that the students displayed. We did not anticipate any barriers to this project. Our school is completely accessible and we held our public reading in a very accessible auditorium. We considered that the parent of one student has advanced ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) and needed a large area for her motorized wheelchair. She was able to attend and enjoyed her son's poem. We also needed a large space for our hide painting sessions. Our janitors were able to find such a space with all the materials needed by the artist.

Traditional classical music concerts are too long for young children, and the format is not conducive to quality time between parents and children, and 3. Traditional concert format produces anxiety in parents about how their child/ren will behave. We addressed these barriers by making concerts free for children and students, making concerts one hour long and creating an environment that is child-friendly (tables set up with coloring activities, snacks provided, doors left open with easy access to hallway and bathrooms), and by programming movements of classical music rather than complete works. We announced at every concert that it is okay for children to make some noise, dance, move around, exclaim at exciting moments, etc. We evaluated if this worked by speaking and handing out surveys to willing parents and children after concerts while they looked more closely at instruments and met musicians. 2: Because of Lyra's Family Concerts and Lyra Youth baroque orchestra, families were able to attend classical music concerts at a very low price, and participate in a very high quality arts experience. Additionally, 14 young musicians (under 18) participated in a performance with Lyra musicians, received coaching to prepare for these performances, and were able to play with baroque bows and harpsichords.

We achieved this goal by successfully carrying out the project, as the workshops were a unique opportunity that youth would not otherwise have encountered. The opportunity to work closely with a professional artist and dedicate a significant amount of time to a project of this scale was something that the participants had never experienced before. We conducted initial and final surveys to learn more about each learner's art experience and interests. The response to our final survey about the mural project was overwhelmingly positive -- many expressed surprise at how much they were able to learn and accomplish. Indeed, the community continues to comment on the quality and skill displayed in the murals and is impressed to learn that they were designed and completed by youth. We connected with potential partner organizations to offer our arts learning project through a collaborative organization called Itasca Networks for Youth. This helped us most effectively reach the staff of organizations that we would need to work with to carry out the project. The one challenge we encountered was the turnover in a staff position at one organization that resulted in our previous groundwork being lost and the need to start from scratch with a new staff member to carry out the project. Overall, however, the networking that the collaborative group facilitated was highly valuable and we continue to find benefits to membership in this group. Future efforts to provide arts learning opportunities to youth in the Itasca County area will be enhanced by the partnerships formed by Itasca Networks for Youth. 2: We provided a high quality arts learning project to youth in three communities in northern Minnesota that would not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in a project of this scope and scale. In our initial surveys of the participating youth, we asked about previous experience with the arts including classes in a school setting and any out-of-school classes. Most youth had taken at least one art class in either 7th or 8th grade, but that was most often the extent of their arts learning experience. Few youth had participated in any arts learning outside the classroom setting although all youth taking part in the workshops expressed a desire to learn more about art and expressed satisfaction in the learning they were able to accomplish through the mural project. There are many barriers to rural youth participating in arts activities. Cost is a barrier to many, and transportation is a significant issue for most youth in our geographically large county. In planning the project with our organizational partners, we identified these as the two major barriers to participation and determined that holding the workshops at no cost and in local facilities in each community was the best way to mitigate these barriers. One workshop was held at MacRostie Art Center, which is located in downtown Grand Rapids. To provide the other workshops we worked with the Bovey Coleraine Youth Center for youth in the eastern part of our region and the Leech Lake Boys and Girls Club of Deer River for youth in the western part of our region. Both of these organizations already offered summer programming to youth so we had a built in audience for recruitment, and youth felt familiar with both the facilities and the staff people present.",,2935,"Other, local or private",19935,2700,"Michelle Carlson, Charles Driscoll, Carmen Haugen, Charles Kampen, Amanda Lamppa, Meghan Lougee, Mary Metzger, Shirley Miller, Margaret Morris, Bill Rutherford, Katherine Sedore, Katie Tierney",,"MacRostie Art Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"MacRostie Art Center will connect professional artists to teens in rural communities, to design and create a series of public murals.",2012-04-01,2012-12-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Katie,Marshall,"MacRostie Art Center","405 1st Ave NW PO Box 365","Grand Rapids",MN,55744-2617,"(218) 326-2697 ",katie@macrostieartcenter.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Itasca,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-225,"Mary Baier: Educator and administrator, Minnesota Public Schools.

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

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

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

We also experienced a significant increase in attendance at two of our four Nicollet Island performances, indicating that our mission of serving low-income seniors with disabilities is being met through partnerships with many organizations that serve this population. Free Concerts for Seniors serves low-income seniors with disabilities. This community was selected because the Minnesota Pops Orchestra has a long-standing connection and commitment to these seniors. We have built relationships with many senior activity centers that serve disabled seniors, and each year they ask for more performances. We began offering this series in 1984, and it has expanded as the number of interested seniors has grown. Free Concerts for Seniors is an excellent match for this group, judging from the full houses at every performance at Nicollet Island, high attendance at other venues, enthusiastic applause, and positive comments on surveys as well as at performances. Strategies for relationship-building included e-mail invitations, close contact with Cerenity staff, and responsiveness to feedback from seniors. 2: All six performances were held as planned, and a total of about 2,800 seniors attended. Personal observation indicated the attendance of many with disabilities using walkers or other mobility devices. Attendance was estimated by taking counts at each performance, and transportation barriers were addressed with rental buses and transportation provided by senior activity centers. Three primary barriers to participation were identified: economic, transportation, and physical access. These barriers were identified by the seniors, their group leaders, and organization partners. Strategies have been developed and refined over the years to address them. All performances are free of charge. Four rental buses provided transportation to Nicollet Island, in addition to many buses and vans provided by individual care facilities. Park police assisted with drop-off and pick-up at Nicollet Island. At Elliot Park and Cerenity, performances were held near (or at) the facilities, so audience members could walk, wheelchair, or listen from their rooms or porch. Concerts were held at accessible spaces, and many seniors used wheelchairs and walkers. Volunteers also helped many seniors to their places.

All activities were free to participants. Approximately 300 people at five sites were able to participate. The activities were evaluated with an online survey completed by the site coordinator. Verbal feedback was also gathered during our question and answer sessions with the audiences. We chose not to do written evaluations with audiences because of the difficulties we found in our fiscal year 2011 project. For example, one site does not allow residents to have pens. Audiences were always respectful, enthusiastic, and asked many questions. All site coordinators agreed that the activities were entertaining, formatted in a way that was helpful to their clients, and educated about mental health.",,,,13610,1700,"Joel V.

Survey results from a post project artist survey revealed that 64% of the 2012 Caravan du Nord artists had never performed in the communities or venues in which they appeared as part of this project.

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

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities. Quantitative data indicate that we met our objectives in terms of schools/students reached. Quantitative/qualitative surveys distributed to students, classroom teachers, and teaching artists tracked individual classroom goal attainment, as well as our overall success in meeting our project objectives. The analysis showed that the live performance greatly increased students’ interest in the dance forms and their enthusiasm about the learning experience. The workshops allowed students to develop a relationship with the artists prior to the performance, which mutually enhanced the students' interest in and understanding of the performance.","The project reached 518 students from eight schools. The program consisted of five free, one-hour distance learning workshops, and augmented our traditional distance learning experience by providing a student matinee performance at The Cowles Center and a post-performance workshop at no cost to schools through bus subsidies and free tickets. The pilot was built on the platform of our award-winning Distance Learning Program, which was designed to remove the barriers of time, cost, and distance to provide a sustained and engaging dance residency experience for Minnesota students through the use of state-of-the-art videoconferencing technology. While the program creates access for students to engage in arts learning directly with teaching artists, it does not address the potential to increase the impact of the learning experience through a traditional performance element. The pilot allowed us to offer a combined distance learning/live performance hybrid program to students at eight Minnesota schools at no cost. The pilot was developed by participating teaching artists and Cowles staff, with a call for interest survey distributed to Distance Learning Program partner schools. Project evaluation showed the strategies to be effective programmatically and in terms of mitigating barriers. 2: The participants were identified prior to the submission of the proposal to the Minnesota State Arts Board. Due to a scheduling conflict with the student matinee and Buffalo High School's testing dates, Buffalo High School dropped the program prior to the start date. We worked instead with Highland Senior High School, reaching eight Minnesota schools (518 students) with the arts learning project as defined in the proposal. We reached 518 more Minnesotans through the pilot project. The participants were selected through a call for interest survey developed and distributed by Cowles education staff to schools that are or have partnered with The Cowles Center for the Distance Learning Program.

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

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

Minnesota artists were included in both the chamber music and opera performances, with a payroll or more than $40,000 for freelance players and singers who live on the Iron Range, in the Duluth area, and in the Twin Cities. In Duluth, Duluth musicians were included in the chamber music program: Jeremy Craycraft, percussion professor at the College of Saint Scholastica, and his protégé, Chris Belich, were the percussionists for the Minnesota/United States premiere of Nikolai Kapustin’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion. In Virginia, opera star Yevgeny Shapovalov created a sing-along with the audience. In Ely, Minnesota chamber musicians had an opportunity to perform in a professional venue. The opera chorus included more than thirty Minnesota amateur and professional singers from the region, standing shoulder to shoulder with professional artists from around the world. A pre-opera lecture was provided at every location, attended by more than 300 persons. The increase in audience size at the lectures was immensely important to us, showing that our audiences are eager for more educational programming. 2: Chisholm was a new community to us, and the attendance and interest at every level--civic and musical—was gratifying. We sold 350 tickets in this first effort. The Chisholm auditorium is very large, and we had hoped for a higher number; however, the Chisholm administration informed us that we had the highest attendance in recent memory for an event held in that venue. We look to the West Range as an area for further development, artistically and administratively.

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

Further, the art was presented in conjunction with earth science (wetland ecosystems). Eighteen 5' x 5' collaborative artworks were produced. 2) Student learning was measured through sharing in the classroom, the physical art, and written reflections where students chose their favorite fiber art and told why; they identified the steps in a fiber process; they wrote of a world culture and explained why they thought it was important to the people; they linked art to nature. Teachers and education coordinators provided ongoing feedback and participated in a qualitative/quantitative evaluation (results mailed). 2: 1) More than 500 students learned fiber arts through hands-on lessons and learned about world cultures. They then created fiber art collages, which were used to make large-scale collaborative artwork for each of 18 classrooms. 2) Students wrote reflections about their learnings where they described such things as: their favorite project and process, one of the world cultures and why fiber art is important to their everyday lives, things they learned about wetlands, and described what viewing audiences might learn about art or wetlands when looking at their projects. The art was exhibited to the public at the local art center and is now on display in the schools.

This support allowed for free tickets and busing to the matinee, and allowed us to subsidize tickets to the public show ($8 for adults, $4 for students and seniors, and free for kids 12 and under). Response to audience surveys, communications with staff from Bloomington Center for the Arts, and communications with schools and senior groups indicate that we were successful in bringing in audiences that were new to both Ragamala and Bloomington Center for the Arts, reaching local audiences, and bringing in senior citizens--groups that we had identified as having financial/geographical/physical barriers to attending Ragamala's work at our usual downtown venues. Attendee response demonstrated that we were successful in easing perceptual barriers (described below), thereby demonstrating that Ragamala’s work can inspire and move audiences of all ages and backgrounds. 2: 234 people attended the public performance—97 adults, 102 seniors, ten students, and 25 children. Surveys indicate that approximately 50% were seeing Ragamala for the first time. We were particularly delighted at senior attendance, as it was a goal to bring our work to seniors with limited mobility. Attendees at the evening performance included a group of 50 seniors from the SABES Jewish Community Center, and a group of eight seniors (four of whom use wheelchairs) from Saint Gertrude’s in the Garden. A full house of 375 attended the morning matinee—groups from Ridgeview Elementary in Bloomington, Eagle Creek Elementary in Shakopee, Ramalynn Montessori in Bloomington, Creek View Elementary in Edina, and 17 seniors from the SABES Jewish Community Center (a different group from those that attended the evening show).

In Northfield, we performed our signature work “Sacred Earth” at Saint Olaf College, along with a Bharatanatyam class for advanced dance students from the college’s Dance Department and local Division Street Dance school; a folk dance class for college students and community members; a visual art workshop for the college and general community; and a folk dance class offered at the Northfield Senior Wellness Center in partnership with the Northfield Arts Guild. In St Peter, we presented our newest work, “1,001 Buddhas: Journey of the Gods” at Gustavus Adolphus College, along with two assemblies for K-4 students at South Elementary School; and a drumming workshop by guest artists Wadaiko Ensemble Tokara promoted to college percussionists, the St Peter High School band, and the Saint Peter Governaires drum corps.

In Northfield, we renewed our partnership with Saint Olaf (where we hadn’t performed in over ten years), while deepening our ties to a community with whom we have been building a relationship since 1995 (mostly through a partnership with Carleton College). We evaluated our success through feedback from our partners. Gustavus Dance professor Michele Rusinko wrote, “I heard many, many great things following the performance. I went to the Saint Peter Food Co-op for lunch today, and the manager went out of her way to thank me for helping make it possible.” Al Behrends, Director of Fine Arts, wrote, “The reaction from the [K-12] school audiences was wonderful.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","On Oct 18–28, 2012, Ragamala hosted master Bharatanatyam dancer/choreographer Alarmel Valli for an 11-day residency with her 4-person orchestra and light designer. Activities included: a public performance at the Cowles Center accompanied by short lectures on the poetry/history of Bharatanatyam and her unique contemporary perspective; a screening of a documentary film about her life, career, and aesthetic followed by a reception/conversation with the audience; and daily classes with Ragamala. Despite being seriously ill with the flu, her activities were highly lauded. Minnesotans got an opportunity to learn about Bharatanatyam, an inside look at Ms. Valli’s singular aesthetic, and insight into the way an ancient form—in a master’s hands—can be contemporary and vital. Ragamala artists got an in-depth learning experience, new skills as performers/teachers, and new insight to pass on to local students. Outcomes were evaluated through written surveys, email/Facebook, and meetings with staff/board. Because of the film element of this project, we made an effort to reach out to film audiences. We sought advice from local documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and, on her recommendation, placed posters/flyers at independent movie theaters (Lagoon, Uptown, Edina, Bell Museum etc.) and film departments at the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and reached out to the Independent Filmmaker Project. Audiences exceeded our expectations and included many new to Ragamala. We had intended to offer a “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” master class by Ms. Valli geared toward Minnesota dancers/choreographers working in other forms of dance. Based on past feedback, in which local artists expressed interest in taking a master class from Ms. Valli, we reached out to dance companies and dance schools via emails and personal phone calls. We invited them to the free class and offered free tickets to the film. Regretfully, due to her illness, Ms. Valli ultimately cancelled the class. 30 dance artists/students took advantage of the free tickets. 2: Attendance at Ms. Valli’s performance was 442. Attendance at the documentary film was 129, with approximately 50 staying for the post-screening reception and conversation. Audiences at both events exceeded expectations. Audience surveys and observation indicated that many were not regular attendees at Ragamala events, demonstrating that we were successful in engaging more Minnesotans. As noted above, in addition to our regular promotional activities (mailings, posters, emails, Facebook), we specifically reached out to documentary film audiences and local dance artists. While we ultimately had to cancel the “Bharatanatyam for Dancers” class, our outreach to local dance companies and schools allowed us to get the word out personally to the dance community about Ms. Valli’s residency, and encourage dance artists to take advantage of the learning opportunities at the Cowles. This project served 577 Minnesotans. Strategies were developed by Ragamala staff/board in consultation with documentary filmmaker Caitlin Hammel and colleagues in the dance field who helped us reach their constituencies. We reached out to Indian American youth, for whom the opportunity to experience the highest quality of their own classical traditions is rare. Our success was cited in the Star Tribune, with a photo of Ms. Valli surrounded by young Indian girls waiting for her autograph: www.startribune.com/printarticle/?id=175431981. We reached out to local community-based Bharatanatyam teachers/amateur performers to plan a “Master Class for Bharatanatyam Dancers.” Local teacher Suchi Sairam offered to host it at her studio. Between her students, Ragamala students, and community dancers, we expected attendance of 30-35.

We track and record all scholarships and tuition in our DanceWorks database and use reports to ensure that we appropriately allotted funds received for dance scholarships, in order to ensure and promote access to the arts. The Reif Center contributed over $10,000 in additional assistance.","By increasing the amount of available dance scholarships, we were able to provide funds to families in need that could not otherwise have afforded to take dance classes at the Reif Center. We created a program where all first-year dancers in our fundamentals program (pre - 1st grade students) danced for free, and this program, combined with providing assistance to families in great financial need in other levels of our dance classes, allowed our program to grow to our strongest number in years. Our targeted community was low-income families in Itasca County and surrounding areas. Our primary consideration for granting scholarships was family income level, and we gave higher scholarships to the lowest income families. Families with dancers in grades two and above that were over a certain income level were not eligible for scholarships. We know that due to issuing a much smaller level of scholarships in the past (and having to turn away many families due to funding limitations) that there is a need for this type of arts programming assistance. Since the dance program is one we have had in place for over twenty years, we already have a solid relationship with our dancers and dance parents, and that made communicating the details of the expanded scholarship program much easier. 2: We know that there is a need for financial support to introduce and assist folks in this area to participate in the arts. With funds from this program, we were able to allow thirty-nine new students a chance to try their first year of dance at no cost, which has had a tremendous local impact. We also assisted forty-five other dancers through full or partial scholarships in upper division classes. The barriers we identified were communicated to us by dance parents in financially challenging situations. We have an open forum each year in which parents gather to communicate their concerns, and increasingly the concern has been not having adequate income to participate in dance classes. We also have a Reif board-led dance committee and a dance parent team that communicate the needs of dance parents to the Reif Center staff. In all cases, financial constraints were always cited, prompting us to pursue a larger scale tuition program to assist dancers at all levels and to fulfill our vision of allowing first-year fundamental students to dance all year at no cost.

They include: A. Students who are engaged-asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that the kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. B. Improve instrumental playing - band members will be more in tune, play together better and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. C. A successful capstone performance - a full audience, including students and their parents. D. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with the Copper Street Brass Quintet.The primary form if evaluation is from the students themselves. The Copper Street Brass Quintet utilizes a student feedback survey to measure overall reaction to the program, best and worst portions and to solicit ideas for improvement. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and makes a point to invite conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate and important reflection of their effectiveness on stage. In the context of a residency, it is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on the Copper Street Brass Quintet's impact on their child. A successful residency will contribute to providing youth with the skills and tools to take music outside of the classroom and into adulthood, inspiring them to play their instrument, attend more concerts and support the arts as adults. Additionally, it will provide instruction about instrumental technique for brass instruments upon which the band director can draw and cite throughout the school year, furthering the individual band student as well as the junior and senior high bands' overall ability.","I watched how the students paid attention to the group, their participation in the activities and what they continued to do in the days following the residency.

More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","By partnering with James Sewell Ballet and employing their instructors for various teaching, mentorship, and artistic advisory activities here at the Reif Center, we increased arts learning opportunities for our students by providing a chance for them to learn from an established and well-respected ballet company. This component was instrumental for many of our students as they look to the future and try to determine if a career in ballet/dance is something they wish to pursue. Furthermore, we created more dance opportunities related to this partnership than we previously offered in the form of a James Sewell Ballet summer dance intensive and a chance for our company dancers to travel to the James Sewell Ballet studios to rehearse with their company (3 total trips). James Sewell Ballet also helped choreograph pieces that were debuted here on our stage during our Reif Company Dance Show. Evaluation was completed via weekly phone conferences and occasional face-to-face meetings between Reif Center and James Sewell Ballet staff/administration. 2: Because of our rural location, our dancers generally do not have access to high quality arts/dance experiences outside of occasional master classes we offer at the Reif when travelling ballet companies, etc., are presented here as part of our performance season. Because of this limited access, we thought it was imperative to collaborate with a high-profile ballet company to increase opportunities to study/learn about dance on a professional level. We were able to achieve that goal with this partnership. Evaluation was done as part of the Reif/James Sewell Ballet collaborative team meetings via phone conferences and sit-downs.

Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated. More Minnesotans are engaged in arts learning opportunities.","1. At the Journeys High School in St Paul, there was previously no music arts programming in vocal or instrumental music. This project offered a viable music (songwriting, composition) learning opportunity to students with emotional and behavioral issues, engaging them in their education experience, while cultivating a passion for learning and an appreciation of the arts. 2. Because this project was executed under the umbrella of The Lab at Journeys, there was ample opportunity for constant evaluation and reevaluation of the effectiveness of the project. Mary Tinucchi, the Lab director and her staff provided Courtney with several methods and tools for ongoing evaluation. -Courtney ?lled out a form every time she worked with a student that the Lab uses for all mentorship type interactions with students. The form asks for four reporting aspects; what was planned, what actually happened, what trouble shooting ideas have arisen, what will happen next time. Courtney submitted the completed forms to the staff social worker at the Lab, Theresa Pease, who reviewed the progress of each student with Courtney on a regular basis. -Courtney attended weekly staff meetings of the Lab and the Journeys High School where there were opportunities to discuss each student’s daily progress and often Courtney’s work with the student was brought up as a barometer of the student’s general level of engagement for the week. -Courtney had ongoing discussions with staff teachers and social workers regarding her own impact on individual students. -Also, the professional musicians brought in to work with Courtney, Rob Genadek, Tommy Barbarella and Jeff Bailey, were all able to evaluate and provide feedback as to the quality of the arts education that was taking place as they visited the school or met students at the recording studio. The students’ pieces of writing were used as tools to gauge the success of the arts instruction in terms of language and writing development. The recordings themselves served as an evaluation tool in that they marked the culmination of a great deal of work and effort on behalf of the students and the teaching artist. Additional metrics on student attendance and engagement forthcoming: By bringing in a professional musician who is also a licensed teacher we aimed to provide access to songwriting and musical development while strengthening the students’ engagement with all curricula. Our hope was that arts programming could provide the magic backdoor access to a student’s inner abilities that have not yet been tapped in conventional educational situations, thus providing students with new glimpses of their potential as scholars and as contributing citizens. Courtney's background as a classroom teacher was invaluable. Without it, the project would have been difficult. Primary composition lessons were difficult with some students, but an approach from the perspective of songwriting and lyricism yielded better results. 2: 1. The outcome achieved is primarily that High School students at Journeys, a public school for extremely high-risk teens who are perpetually teetering between life on the streets and life in prison, were able to engage in musical collaboration of both an artistic and therapeutic nature with adult music artists yielding a.) a recording that they could be proud of, b.) an increase in their level of engagement with their educational future and c.) a better way of understanding their own emotional behavior. 2. The obvious measure of evaluation in this project was the number of students who were able to complete recordings. By examining shifting enrollment figures at Journeys and noting how many pieces of writing and recordings were made by students working with Courtney, a conclusion about the program’s success can be drawn. The final writings and recordings stand as evidence that students who had an interest did work hard and follow through and succeed at songwriting and recording with the help of an adult teaching artist. 3. For Courtney, there were real and perceived barriers regarding the acceptance of not only her project in the school but her own presence in the school as well. The feeling of having to be open and willing to interact is a constant when one is attempting to assimilate into a community. Add, then, that the community is one where differences of socioeconomics and race are touch-points for misunderstanding and one can easily feel that genuine acceptance may not be achievable. For the students, there were barriers of trust. Sometimes the students took weeks of being mean and disrespectful before they’d finally decide to get serious and begin work. There were also barriers of prior knowledge and cultural identification. Many students hadn’t previously been exposed to music above and beyond their current playlist, music from different cultures, different countries and different times in history. There were enormous barriers of the systems and lack of systems that the students were governed by leading, above all, to high percentages of absenteeism. Transportation, health, suspension due to behavior issues, criminal offenses, etc. Outside the school, there was a great deal of doubt regarding the feasibility of working productively in music with students of this profile. Aligning with partner teachers to strengthen acceptance of artist - Mary Tinucchi and Glo Adjusting timelines to contend with absenteeism - Recording Engineer + Musicians Adjusting curriculum to focus on student’s emotional development and openness - Teaching artist + The Lab Staff Courtney was given the opportunity by Mary Tinucchi to participate as a guest teacher in the ongoing Poetry Pathway lead by Glo, a fellow teacher, during school time several days per week. We worked closely with Glo, who was deeply trusted and admired by the students, to help give the project and Courtney a better image with the students. Glo’s encouragement helped push many students to increase their level of engagement with the program. To counter absenteeism, we were able to call upon the generosity of our recording artist and fellow musicians to accommodate additional recording sessions. The greatest difficulty was teaching the structures of original song composition. Through our struggles with this barrier, however, we learned that the process was beneficial in helping the students take comfort and pride in generating innovative song ideas and sharing their thoughts, emotions and frustrations through their writing. We succeeded in this because we were able to provide caring and attentive adults to be there throughout the process.",,,,35233,,"Jay Peterson, Mark Raderstorf, John Kim, Jessica Conrad, Holly Mu±oz, Jeremy Wang, Ange Wang, Jim Nimmer, Sarah Erkkinen, Venessa Fuentes, Rita Hartke, Justin Hartke, Peter Ireland",0.18,"Rock Star Supply Co.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Using an integrated English language arts and song writing curriculum, a teacher-certified, professional musician will teach 36 high school students with emotional behavioral disorder basic song writing as a medium for self-expression, anger management, a",2012-03-01,2013-02-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Emily,Cook,"Rock Star Supply Co.","2388 University Ave W","St Paul",MN,55114,"(612) 616-1848 ",emily@rockstarsupplyco.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-236,"Shari Aronson: Co-founder, Z Puppets Rosenschnoz.; Alison Good: Former commercial artist, educator and administrator; active community volunteer; Zhimin Guan: Professor of art, Minnesota State University Moorhead.; Karla Nweje: Dancer, choreographer, writer, and educator.; Gretchen Pick: Artistic director, Young Dance.

This represents an expansion of our previous touring through the addition of five cities not previously visited by our artists. Silver Bay was also a new addition to the annual tour, although we had previously visited that city for other residency activities.

Additionally, of the arts learners who had previous theatre experience, 70% of those experiences occurred at their school, thus this project increased the venues in which youth could have arts learning opportunities. To measure the outcomes, arts learners took a pre-program survey collecting data on the frequency and venue of arts learning experiences before coming to Woodland Hills and arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills. 2: Before participating in this project, 96% of students had never had an in depth theatre experience and only 38% of students had any experience in theatre.

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

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

The Singers rehearsed and performed side-to-side with students. Evaluation included individual discussions between the two parties which were reported to Artistic Director and tour coordinator. The Singers were available after the concerts for questions and comments. Ticket sellers at Brainerd asked each patron about how they knew about the concert. They collected email addresses increasing our visibility in the area. Artistic and administrative staff members traveled to each location prior to the tour, to meet in person with our partners in each community and do a site visit"" to anticipate any production needs. The Singers worked with choirs in each location, rehearsing ad performing collaboratively. Our project partners were involved with scheduling and identifying space for rehearsals; serving as concert venues; providing limited volunteer support; consulting on the final repertoire choices; and assisting to a limited degree with event publicity. Partner choir members received complimentary tickets to distribute within the community, making use of existing social networks. 2: The Singers organization hopes to build on the musical and educational successes seen in both St Cloud and Brainerd. By teaming with Saint Cloud State University, The Singers presented a solo program while also standing with nearly 300 high school and collegiate singers in an educational outreach setting. Response from the Saint Cloud State University partners was very positive. In Brainerd, The Singers paired with the A Cappella Choir from Brainerd High School, and again this shoulder-to-shoulder experience was overwhelmingly positive. Brian Stubbs, conductor of the Brainerd High School choir claimed it to be one of the most exciting musical collaborations that the students have experienced. These verbal conversations after the events were the primary source of feedback on outcomes and presentations. The partner organizations for this project have been all been active and important supporters of choral music and artistic collaboration within their communities. The Singers' Founder and Artistic Director, Matthew Culloton, is originally from St Cloud and has many acquaintances in the local choral community, which helps to create a successful collaborative program with a lot of local support. Saint Cloud State University is in its fifth year of hosting the ""Big Sing"" festival, and because of this grant, our Artistic Director was able to serve as guest conductor this year, along with The Singers as guest artists.

Approximately half of workshops participants were either teachers or librarians who, according to surveys, will use the storytelling and public speaking skills from this workshop in their work with both adults and children. In addition, this project created an online story performance and workshop video website. This has given teachers and librarians across Minnesota access to high quality story performances and workshops that they can use in their classroom teaching. 2.

Most art teachers are not trained in textile art techniques and don't have access to bring the tools and equipment into their classrooms. For the two groups of students at our partner schools, participation in the residencies offered through this program was the first time they had exposure to fiber art techniques including embroidery, sewing, digital fabric design and dyeing. The six week residency period allowed students the unique opportunity to design every aspect of their finished project. The teaching artist was able to introduce them to digital fabric design, a cutting edge technique in the fiber art field, and teach basic sewing skills and provide access to professional techniques and tools for them to sew garments, wall art and accessories of their own design. 2: Textile Center has partnered previously with Sobriety High school and both students and teachers were enthusiastic about continuing the partnership into another school year. Teachers at Sobriety chose the poetry unit to combine with fiber art because in the past poetry has been very difficult for students to connect with. By adding the art component, the students were able to study poetry from a different perspective and increase both their engagement with the literature as well as the art component. The art teacher at Trio Wolf Creek approached Textile Center as a partner because she wanted to provide her students with a hands-on component to the art classes she was teaching, but lacked the resources and expertise to be able to do so on her own.

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

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

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

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

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

Data collection for the summative evaluation included the following components: Saint Paul Neighborhood Network, a participant survey after the WITNESS concert by 83 participants at five of eight facilities, a 20% return of spring participants, an online survey was completed by ten activities directors at participating facilities, an interview with the education manager after the concert. 2: Most of the barriers to attendance were not only identified, but also addressed effectively, according to evaluation participants. Overall, both participants and activities directors reported that the program did well at removing barriers to attendance at the workshops. 100% of Activities Directors surveyed reported that the program helped to eliminate both real and perceived barriers for participation by older adults at their facility somewhat or very well. The activities in Choral Pathways were well-suited for participants. All of the participants surveyed following the concert indicated that they enjoyed the concert, and 80% indicated they enjoyed it very much. 97% of participants indicated that the pre-concert workshops helped them to enjoy the concert more. Strategies used to build relationships with the targeted population included site visits, meetings and contact with site activities directors. Activities directors were able to provide us with valuable insight on the best ways to work with older adults.",,135,"Other, local or private",76235,9256,"David L.

Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations tour to communities and regions they haven’t previously visited. More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.","Zeitgeist presented our production, For the Birds by Victor Zupanc and Kevin Kling, in four Minnesota communities throughout Minnesota. For the Birds was developed by Zeitgeist, Kling, and Zupanc in 2010 and has been the main vehicle through which we introduce our work to greater Minnesota audiences ever since. In each community we visited through this project, we encountered audiences a bit familiar with Kling but very unfamiliar with the work of Victor Zupanc and Zeitgeist. In each community, our production was an artistic success and increased the visibility of all of our artists. We evaluated the artistic success of our production based on the feedback of our artists, discussions with our presenters, and feedback from our audience members. Our artistic team gathered this feedback from discussions with presenters and audience members after each performance. For the Birds toured to Menahga (Menahga High School), Park Rapids (Calvary Lutheran Church), Alexandria (Theatre L’Homme Dieu), and Owatonna (Owatonna Arts Center). Created with the small community presenter in mind, For the Birds is highly accessible to a wide range of audience members and is technically hassle-free for venues to present. Plus, with the inclusion of Kevin Kling as our featured performer, For the Birds is easy to promote to audiences. For the Birds is the most accessible new music show that Zeitgeist has developed, and we have been using it to introduce our work to small communities throughout Minnesota. We selected each community because we had not had the opportunity to perform in each before and are seeking to develop audiences throughout Minnesota. With regard to engaging audiences, we worked with each of our presenting organizations to create awareness of For the Birds within the community. In each community, posters were displayed throughout the business district and local papers or radio stations featured interviews with our artists. These measures worked very well. One of the advantages of presenting in a small community is that media is accessible to the community and creating awareness for local happenings is manageable and relatively inexpensive. After each performance, Zeitgeist and our artists were available to discuss the work and answer questions. Audiences were receptive and engaged and we note that several from each performance either signed up for our email list or our Facebook page. 2: Through this project, Zeitgeist visited four communities that we had not visited previously. In doing so, we were hoping to begin building connections with audiences in each community and strengthen our relationship with each presenter. Our goal was to visit each community with an accessible and attractive production that would attract audiences and be easy for our presenters to present and promote. Each of our presenters has indicated that they would have Zeitgeist back again, and we even have nascent plans to develop new programming with one of them. As to audiences, discussions with audience members after each show indicated that they found the show delightful and deeply meaningful and that they would look forward to another visit by Zeitgeist to their community. At each location, several audience members did sign up for our mailing list or Facebook page. More remarkably, we’ve had audience members that first encountered us on this For the Birds tour attend Zeitgeist events at Studio Z in St Paul. We weren’t anticipating that positive outcome. On the other hand, we were hoping to attract more audience members on our first trip to each of these communities. While some of this shortfall was because we made a change in our project that placed us in smaller communities, we still had hoped for 25%-35% more people in each location with the exception of Alexandria. In each community, the presenter had a great deal of input into what our activities would entail. We were available for outreach activities, and each venue elected to include a post-concert discussion and reception as part of their activities. In Alexandria, we were able to make this a formal question and answer affair, but in the other communities, this interaction was more informal.",,4671,"Other, local or private",21731,2350,"Heather Barringer, Jeff Gram, Brett Wartchow, Philip Blackburn, Craig Sinard, Pat OÆKeefe, Carleton Macy, Carrie Henneman Shaw, Zachary Crockett",0.13,Zeitgeist,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Tour Minnesota ",,"Zeitgeist will tour For the Birds, a new work for chamber ensemble and narration, with music by Victor Zupanc and text by Kevin Kling, to two communities in Minnesota.",2012-04-01,2013-03-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Heather,Barringer,Zeitgeist,"275 E 4th St Ste 200","St Paul",MN,55101-1628,"(651) 755-1600 ",heather@zeitgeistnewmusic.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Wadena, Hubbard, Steele, Douglas",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-tour-minnesota-142,"Daniel Adolphson: Director of Program Engagement, COMPAS.; Timothy Cassidy: Metal sculptor.; Larry Fredlund: Board member, Isanti County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development and Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Jeanne Kosfeld: Creative director, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

Real or perceived barriers to participation are identified and addressed. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts. We encouraged all audience members to complete surveys; approximately 15% did so. Of those, 14% indicated that this was their first time attending a theater production. Since we had large numbers of community youth attending and most of the surveys were completed by adults, we suspect this is an underrepresentation of first-time or rare theater-goers.","Our biggest success in this area was involving community youth. Many of the ideas in the play came from story circles held with students at RiversEdge Academy and Humboldt High School. Several Humboldt students also attended the play. We held auditions at El Rio Vista Recreation Center, situated between three public housing facilities, and more than fifteen kids who happened to be attending the recreation center that evening auditioned. Of those, five participated as performers. Rehearsals and performance were held in the Neighborhood House facility attached to the recreation center. The audience was mostly community members. We target the diverse communities of the West Side of St Paul and aim for intergenerational participation. We selected the West Side because of its richness of diversity and stories and because many of the artists involved live or work on the West Side. Ninety-eight percent of audience surveys and 100% of community participant surveys indicated that this production fit the West Side,"" and over 90% of audience surveys and over 80% of community participant surveys indicating an ""excellent"" or ""very good"" fit. Additionally, over 90% of community participants rated the overall experience as ""excellent"" or ""very good."" We have built relationships by going to places West Siders already gather (e.g., public housing community meetings, English language and citizenship classes, school rooms) and hosting story circles within the community. This works better than hosting our own gatherings. 2: Adults and youth who had never or rarely participated in or seen live theater participated onstage, back stage, and as part of the audience.

However, serious gaps remain in our understanding of these contaminants and the significance of the threats they may pose. Through this appropriation scientists at the University of St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus College, and the University of Minnesota are cooperating to focus specifically on the threats posed by antibiotics to understand which antibiotics are of the most concern - for example, because of their potential to increase antibiotic resistance - and to delineate their urban and rural sources. Findings will help develop strategies to manage threats and minimize future impacts posed by antibiotics to human and ecological health.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS While the presence of antibiotics in surface waters has received attention due to concerns about health or ecological impacts, major gaps still remain in our understanding of the scope and significance of this potential problem. The goal of this study was to address the question of whether human or agricultural sources of antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria may be the most significant in surface waters impacted by both. We focused on drainage ditches that receive farm runoff and municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents as possible sources for a portion of the Minnesota River in Southern Minnesota. We studied four major classes of antibiotics used in agriculture (for veterinary purposes or as growth promoters) as well as in human medicine. We conducted 12 sampling campaigns over a 28-month period from 2011 - 2013, a time period that included extremely wet and dry seasons and therefore highly variable water levels. We collected samples from two agricultural drainage ditches, two municipal wastewater treatment plants, four locations in the river (upstream of both treatment plants, between the two plants, at the outfall of the second plant, and downstream of both plants), and from a nearby reference creek site. For collected samples we quantified six antibiotic resistance genes, susceptibility of cultivable bacteria to four antibiotics, and concentrations of six antibiotics. The highest levels of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance were consistently associated with the municipal wastewater treatment plant samples. In addition, tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from wastewater treatment plants were found to be much more likely (103 out of 124 isolates) than tetracycline-resistant bacteria isolated from the river (0 out of 148 isolates) to have an integron, a mobile genetic element that can be associated with multiple-antibiotic resistance. These findings suggest human sources are much more significant than agricultural sources for this portion of the Minnesota River.

",," The History Center of Olmsted County (HCOC) is home to a large collection of analog audiovisual material from KTTC, a television station servicing southeastern Minnesota. The collection includes 534 U-matic tapes as well as 605 16mm film reel. The content of the tapes and films is exclusively news outtakes dating from 1976 to 1991.  While the media in this collection are relatively stable, small parts of the collection had been damaged by water and there was evidence of vinegar syndrome, both of which threaten the continued stability of the media. While they are housed in archival quality containers, they are still exhibiting signs of deterioration, which will only increase with time and result in an irreversible loss of information if reformatting was not completed.  All 534 U-matic tapes and 605 16mm film reels were digitized when physically possible. Five of the items could not be digitized because their condition was too poor, and one was not digitized because it was a duplicate of another reel. The digitizing vendor supplied the HCOC with a master copy and an access copy of each digital file once the material was digitized. These were inspected for quality control and then copied onto a set of master hard drives. Checksums were performed to ensure the copies were not corrupted or damaged. Then the files were copied to a second set of hard drives and checksums were performed for that set.  By taking steps to ensure the long-term viability of the material, we will ensure people have access to it for generations to come. The HCOC itself will likely use the footage in any number of future exhibits it creates. People and organizations outside of the HCOC will also be able to use it for their own research and presentation purposes well into the future, just as people now use photos and other archival material from generations long past.  ",2017-12-01,2018-12-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Krista,Lewis,"Olmsted County Historical Society","1195 West Circle Drive SW",Rochester,MN,55902,507-282-9447,archivist@olmstedhistory.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Olmsted,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/audiovisual-conversion,,,, 10012259,"Awareness, Reconciliation and Change: A History of Antiracist Activism in Duluth, MN",2018,2427," MN Laws 2017 Chapter 91, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 4 Historical Grants and Programs ","$4,500,000 the first year and $6,500,000 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.

Baker Park Reserve, owned and operated by Three Rivers Park District (TRPD), provides over 4,500 feet of publically accessible shoreline on Lake Independence, which includes two swimming beaches, a public watercraft access, an ADA-accessible fishing pier, numerous picnic areas, and a campground. The lake was listed as impaired for excessive nutrients by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in 2002. The Lake Independence Total Maximum Daily Load study (TMDL) approved in 2007 identified phosphorus loads from the watershed as the main cause of the impairment. A total phosphorus load reduction of 1,081 lbs./yr. was identified in the TMDL in which 872 lbs./yr. (80%) of load reduction was to come from the watershed. Recent studies identified 2,200 feet of eroding channel within Baker Park Reserve that contributes in an average year 300 tons of sediment and 277 lbs. of phosphorus to Lake Independence. The most cost-effective approach to address the major source of pollutant loading from the ravine is to install a series of rock grade control structures throughout the main and two tributary channels to control the elevation grade as well as armoring the channel with rounded field stone/angular rip-rap to the expected 10-year flood elevation. Average annual phosphorus loads to Lake Independence would be reduced by an estimated 134 lbs. at a cost of $130/lb. of phosphorus load reduction based on a project life of 30 years.

Furthermore, 2016 monitoring indicates that water now fails to meet the state standard by 2 ug/L for phosphorus and 4 ug/L for chlorophyll-a. The SWCD completed a Subwatershed Assessment (SWA) for the lake in 2016 primarily because the lake water quality was so close to exceeding standards. The assessment uses the standardized Metro Conservation District SWA protocol which targets and prioritizes projects based on cost effectiveness and pollutant removal. The assessment was broken into two components, one raking 12 projects in the direct watershed and the other ranking 97 projects in the rural watershed. This proposal will install six of the top projects identified for the direct watershed. These projects are two bioretention basins and a sump to treat runoff from right-of-ways in Spencer Brook Township, a gully and shoreline repair to treat erosion and runoff from a public access in Stanford Township, a sand filter to capture suspended particulate phosphorus released from a channelized wetland in the southeast (SE) inlet on private campground property, and approximately 10,500 square feet of near-shore stormwater reduction practices to treat runoff and erosion from high priority parcels. In addition to these projects, our staff plans to engage residents, officials and rural landowners in order to promote a sustainable culture of lake stewardship. A significant amount of work to prepare for this proposal has been completed; projects have been prioritized, a feasibility study for the SE inlet was completed, preliminary plans have been developed, and the partners are ready to rock! The in-lake phosphorus goal set for the lake in the Rum WRAPS is 31 ug/L. This reflects a 321 pound reduction in watershed phosphorus loading. The proposed projects reduce phosphorus by 95 lbs. annually.

Protection of this large complex will provide opportunities for public hunting, fishing and wildlife conservation. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase I project will also restore ~200 acres of the protected lands.The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort will address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State; degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour’s drive for over half of the state’s population.Located just south of the Twin Cities metro in an area that has seen development pressure due to the close proximity of the Twin Cities, I-35 and the Upper Cannon Lakes, much of this part of the state has already suffered fragmentation and habitat loss. Historically inhabited by Big Woods, the landscape is now dominated by agricultural fields and, to a lesser extent, development. Agricultural practices and shoreline development are also the major contributors to the impaired status of stretches of the Cannon River and its associated lakes and streams.This conservation effort is part of a long-term effort that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lakeshore, and river shoreline. The complex is encircled by the Upper Cannon River, starting at its headwaters at Shields Lake where it flows west, then as it flows south and east through the towns of Waterville and Morristown, and then as it heads northeast before reaching the city of Faribault.The initial acquisitions of the overall effort are prioritized toward existing large wetland/upland complexes, rare communities (Big Woods forest, tamarack swamp), shallow lakes, river shoreline, and lands adjacent to existing protected areas. Landowner willingness to sell and the threat of development are also taken into consideration. Restoration work will be focused on the degraded portions of the lands acquired and will include conversion of agricultural fields near wetlands, lakes, rivers and existing protected areas back into native habitat.Protection and restoration of these significant parcels will provide critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallards, canvasback, wood ducks, hooded mergansers, pintails, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock) white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappies, bluegills, bullheads and walleye). Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting as well as river, stream, and lake fishing. Non-game wildlife, including Species in Greatest Conservation Need, likely to benefit from this protection and restoration work includes Bald Eagle, Bell’s Vireo, Cerulean Warbler, Loggerhead Shrike, Sandhill Crane, Red-headed Woodpecker, Greater Yellowlegs, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher, Blanding’s Turtle, Mudpuppies, and the Giant Floater, a species of freshwater mussel.Protecting and restoring vegetative cover within basins and the riparian areas of the lakes, rivers, and streams in this focus area will also help protect water quality by reducing surface water runoff and by providing ecological services such as infiltration through natural buffers to our waterways. All wildlife—and humans—will benefit from improved water quality.All parcels have been scored through the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife, Section of Wildlife’s SWAAT scoring tool. Additionally, the DNR’s Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of inter-divisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level (score= 6).Work will be completed in phases depending on funding availability. Properties targeted for acquisition and restoration as part of this Phase I request to LSOHC (FY12) include the following:Dora Lake WMA (new)- tracts 1 and 2 (LeSueur County) This is a large (510-acre) upland-wetland complex with a mosaic of native plant types. It is near the Velishek, Diamond Lake, and the proposed LeTamaraque WMAs and the Delehanty Waterfowl Production Area (WPA). The parcel contains Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS)- identified native habitat including a portion of remnant Big Woods, some southern-most occurrence of tamarack swamp in the state, and 1.64 miles of naturally flowing Cannon River, directly upstream from a concentration of rare freshwater mussels. The Cannon is a large river basin that along with its associated uplands accomplishes Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan (MSCPP) habitat goals #1,2,5, and 7 by maintaining & enhancing water quality of a vital river. These tracts also provide an opportunity to retire approximately 200 acres of tilled land in a sensitive water quality area and restore them to wetlands, grassland and eventual guided succession to Big Woods. This tract would provide excellent opportunities for hunting, fishing, and recreating within a reasonable drive of the Twin Cities and many southwestern MN communities.Le Tamaracque WMA (addition)- tract 28 (Rice County) These 200 acres of rolling terrain with grasslands, forest, and wetlands riparian to the Cannon River are located within a 1000-acre complex of MCBS-identified habitat with high biodiversity significance. Rare communities include Big Woods, some of the southern- most occurrence of Tamarack Swamp in the state, and mixed emergent marsh & prairie. The diversity of marshes and lowland brush is important for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species. The mix of wetland and upland habitats provide nesting areas for waterfowl. Restoration would include minimal tree and shrub plantings to provide nesting cover and minimal wetland restoration. This property also provides easy road access for excellent hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.Caron Lake WMA (new) Tracts 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 (Rice County) These 260 acres of rolling croplands, grasslands, forest, and wetlands include lands riparian to the shallow Caron Lake and an unditched tributary, Devil’s Creek, which is very rare in this area of the state. The property is adjacent to the Caron Lake Aquatic Management Area and contains approximately half mile of frontage on Caron Lake. The area is within a complex of shallow lakes that drain into the Cannon River. Protecting shoreline vegetation on Caron Lake is important for spawning and nursery habitat for northern pike and other native fishes; protecting natural buffers/water quality is critical for walleye downstream in Cedar Lake. This area is known to host both divers and puddle ducks during the fall migration. This is a great production area for turkey, deer, and other forest species, and extensive hunting opportunities would be available with direct and easy access provided by this acquisition. These tracts provide the opportunity to convert approximately 180 acres of farmed land in this sensitive water quality area and restore them to wetlands, grasslands, and either Oak Savannah or Big Woods habitat. Restoration will provide substantial payback for waterfowl and other marsh denizens given the complex of habitats within a biologically meaningful proximity.Boyd Sartell WMA tract 3 (Rice County) This tract contains diverse marsh habitats and about 14 acres of uplands consisting of oak islands and grassy knolls along the headwaters of the Cannon River. Acquisition will conserve a high quality emergent marsh complex (as characterized by MCBS) associated with General Shields Lake and Little Mud Lake. The acquisition will protect seasonally flooded wetlands and other key habitats for waterfowl and wetland wildlife ranging from sedge wrens and ring-necked ducks to sandhill cranes and trumpeter swans. The area also provides habitat for rare animals and species of conservation need, including colonial waterbirds and Blanding’s turtles. The tract would expand the Boyd Sartell and protect a part of a large, relatively unfragmented habitat area and corridor – a rare entity in south-central Minnesota.Dora Lake WMA tracts 3 & 4 (LeSueur County) Please see above description for Dora Lake WMAThe Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort is highly supported by the Cannon River Watershed Partnership, the Tri-Lake Sports Club, the Dark House Anglers Southern Chapter, Minnesota Deer Hunters Association South Central Prairieland Bucks Chapter (Le Sueur, Rice, Waseca, and Steele Counties), Waterville Sportsman’s Club, Montgomery Sportsmen’s Club, Minnesota Waterfowl Association Scott- LeSueur Chapter, the Izaak Walton League Owatonna Chapter, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

The permanent protection 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 Watershed Habitat Complex Phase VII program acquired 253 acres of high-quality wetland, prairie, remnant Big Woods forest, and shoreline habitat for fish, game and wildlife throughout the Cannon River Watershed. The protection and expansion of two large complexes (Murphy WMA and Aurora WMA) provides new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. The Cannon River Watershed program was designed to address the following issues: the degradation and loss of diverse habitat throughout the Cannon River Watershed, and the 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 VII 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, forests, and shorelines. The Phase VII 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, upland birds, white tail deer, and fish. Protection will also provide access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, 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. Specifically, two acquisitions were completed with Phase VII funding: 1. Murphy WMA Addition - Le Sueur County: Trust for Public Land acquired and conveyed 72 acres to the MN DNR to be managed as an addition to the Murphy Wildlife Management Area. Located directly on the Cannon River just north of Waterville, this acquisition connects the two units of Murphy WMA, squares up boundaries, and provides improved public access for quality outdoor recreation and hunting opportunities within an hour's drive of the Twin Cities. Trust for Public Land purchased this property using funds from both the ML17 and ML16 Cannon River grants. 2. Aurora WMA Addition - Steele County: Trust for Public Land acquired and conveyed 260 acres to the Minnesota DNR as an addition to Aurora WMA in Steele County. Located southeast of Owatonna, this property is a mix of wetland and grassland habit, and much of the area was in agricultural row crop production. The acquisition of this land not only protects the existing wetland habitat, it protects the headwaters of Turtle Creek and allows for the restoration of the agricultural fields back into prairie grasslands. Permanently protecting this land provides additional public access opportunities.

My desire to acquire a deeper understanding of watercolor painting techniques has been a hurdle for me due to time constraints for practice and money to seek professional instruction. With this grant I will attend a 5 day watercolor painting workshop taught by Tara Sweeney. By taking this workshop I will expand my watercolor skills by demonstrating subjects that move in the natural world. In the class I will plan compositions, be taught about values and color; and build confidence and control off the watercolor medium. I will practice with professional tools to master them as well as the techniques taught in class. After my class I will take time to work on the techniques and incorporate them into my work. I will work to develop my new skills and then I will demonstrate in a solo show at Art and Soul gallery in early winter (TBD). I paint watercolor and in acrylic and though I have skills in both mediums I have taken few formal classes which concentrate on either. Often I find myself without the resources and time to really concentrate improving my painting skills. By taking this time to participate in a 5 day class in watercolor,""Figures in the Landscape"", taught by Tara Sweeney, I will be taking steps to achieve the goals of allowing myself the time to practice to become a better painter. With the professional supplies needed for the class and for the work produced after the class, I will have better painting results. After this five day class, I will be more confident in my watercolor work and will be inspired to use my better understanding of composition and specifically movement in my future work. To measure my success and to keep to a realistic time schedule, I will make arrangements to have a solo show at Art and Soul gallery in early winter about 2 months after my class (date TBD). These new pieces produced for the solo show will be professionally framed and matted. The result of this entire experience will lead to a deeper insight into the medium of watercolor and painting composition and give me the time and confidence that I feel is sometimes lacking in my current work.

It uses visual imagery, and the experiential space of the gallery, to explore the idea that, while individuals from different backgrounds and heritages, our journeys are more alike than unlike. At times, we need to be guided to this realization. Unfortunately we often don't let ourselves get close enough to each other to see those connections where they do exist. MN Nice will create a space where viewers are confronted with questions about cultural commonalities, differences, and the social forces that create and perpetuate human rifts.

I will then begin a year-long process of layout/graphic design, and editing for print preparation. As a member of a diverse seaside community, and part of a successful family-owned restaurant, I have spent the last ten years writing cookbooks. These cookbooks are unique, in that they speak not only to the culinary culture of the Pie Place Cafe', but chronicle the history of Grand Marais, and the life of it's colorful folk. This third cookbook will continue the story of Grand Marais, it's rich and diverse history, and the people who make this community what it is. The stories that are included in these pages are ones that have been gathered during twenty years as a restaurant family. They speak to all aspects of the human condition; joy, sorrow, triumph, courage, and the spirit that built a thriving community of people who know the value of friendship and love. I will be working with my editor, Konnie LeMay, in a mentorship capacity as she assists me in taking my writing to greater levels of creative expression in this project. Unlike my previous cookbooks, this volume will be 90 percent narrative/story with a small sampling of basic home cooking techniques/recipes pulled from the early culinary/indigenous heritage of the area. This book will continue the story of the individuals whose lives have inspired and changed me. Narrative will continue the history of Grand Marais as well. Outcome will be measured by a completed manuscript, to will include narrative/stories (65-70 short-essay format), photographs for each narrative/story, ""lead-ins"" and recipes, as well as potential layout design. In addition, I will be actively engaged in contacting each person about whom I am writing to obtain photographs for inclusion into the body of the narrative. This includes contact with the Minnesota Historical Society to obtain archival photos, which they have been most generous to contribute in the past. I will be researching early culinary traditions and recipes as they pertain to my theme ""Back to the Table."" Test kitchen work is required to ensure that recipes can be easily and successfully executed by the home cook. In addition, I will prepare, stage, and photograph all food included in the centerpiece of the manuscript. The manuscript will provide visual direction for the project, and fulfill subsequent publishing time-lines.","I submitted a completed manuscript for the project (including recipes and photographs) to my publisher, Lake Superior Port Cities, Inc. on November 27, 2018.

The Minnesota Land Trust and Washington County will protect 369 acres of the Corridor's most threatened, high quality forest and aquatic habitat in this first phase of the project. This project represents a unique opportunity to conserve intact habitat of this magnitude within the LSOHC's Metropolitan Urbanizing Area, and includes nearly 5 miles of shoreline and supports 70 species in greatest conservation need.","The Carnelian Creek Conservation Corridor has long been a conservation target of Washington County, DNR, Minnesota Land Trust and other conservation organizations due to its rich forest habitat and its abundant clear lakes which are currently completely undeveloped—a rare feature in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. The Minnesota Land Trust and Washington County have formed a partnership to complete this first phase of the Carnelian Creek Conservation Corridor Project by securing a perpetual conservation easement on 369 acres which forms the critical core of the larger 2,700 acre Corridor. We intend to complete the full 735-acre project as initially proposed through additional leverage from program partners and existing OHF grants to the Land Trust (Metro Big Rivers 5, 6 and 7), with outcomes split proportionately among this (369 acres) and these other associated grants (366 acres).This first phase of the Carnelian Creek Conservation Corridor Project, known as the “Terrapin Lakes Site”, will cover 369 acres of high quality habitat and more than 5 miles of shoreline that Warner Nature Center will own at the time of the easement. This project will ensure that the core wildlife habitat area of the Corridor will be protected forever from development, fragmentation and poor land management. This project represents a unique window in time due to having a motivated landowner in Warner Nature Center and to Washington County's commitment to dedicate funds from its Land and Water Legacy Fund. There is nothing that currently legally protects the property from development. The terms of the conservation easement will ensure the property's protection for generations to come. This first phase of the project at the Terrapin Lakes Site is specifically noted as having: • Oak and maple-basswood forest habitat identified as having high-quality biodiversity by the DNR due to its undisturbed canopy and significant age;• High biodiversity for species in greatest conservation need such as Blanding's Turtle, the Common Snapping Turtle and Eastern Fox Snake, the Red-shouldered Hawk, Bald Eagle, Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, and American Woodcock;• Nearly 5 miles of shoreline and riparian habitat on North and South Terrapin, Mays and Clear Lakes;• High quality water discharge and recharge areas which help maintain aquatic habitat and water quality; and• High quality undeveloped shallow (Upper Terrapin) and deep (Mays and Lower Terrapin) lakes.This project represents an urgent and important protection opportunity due to the landowner's current interest in conservation and to the commitment of Washington County to participate in funding the project through its Land and Water Legacy Program. We anticipate >50% of the easement's acquisition costs to be funded by non-state sources, making this a very high leverage project for the Outdoor Heritage Fund. And while the project will not specifically require public access, more than 15,000 children and adults experience the site's unique and abundant wildlife habitat each year through Warner Nature Center's programs.

The first short term target was ?improved knowledge of 350 items with direct relevance to our mission.? This goal was achieved and then exceeded because upon completion of the project a total of 394 objects were inventoried. Following our inventory procedure, identical duplicates of any object were documented together on the same catalog form, which meant a total of 354 new records were completed. Therefore, we were able to inventory an additional 44 objects and create 4 additional records above our original target. The second short term target was identified as ?increased public awareness of Hennepin County?s history of invention and innovation.? This was achieved through the completion of 35 blog posts about the objects inventoried. All of these blogs have been, or are schedule to be, published on our website. This target was also exceeded in that after each blog is published, they are linked to and promoted on our social media platforms which increases awareness further than the reach of the website alone, and allows us to measure audience engagement with each post. The immediate term impact was identified as ?improved quality of our upcoming Inventions & Innovations exhibition.? This was explained as the ability to create an exhibition that drew primarily from our own collection of cataloged objects, rather than relying on loans from outside institutions. This aspect of the target has already been achieved. The exhibition will display mainly objects that were inventoried and researched during this project. As the exhibition has not opened yet, we will revisit this target later to measure overall success. This evaluation will be done after the museum has a chance to gather visitor feedback during and after the run of the exhibit in order to determine if the audience was satisfied with the selection of objects displayed and information presented to them. In the long term, this project?s impact is that it has brought us closer to our final goal of having a fully inventoried collection that is accessible not only to staff and researchers, but also to the public. This progress is marked by the total number of objects cataloged, photographed, entered into our database; which equals more than 1.5% of the total collection. In conclusion, all targets set for this project were either achieved or exceeded. Ultimately, this project has made significant positive impacts on Hennepin History Museum by improving our knowledge of our collection, advancing the collections inventory, improving the quality of our upcoming exhibition, and increasing public awareness to the history of invention and innovation in Hennepin County.",,,"Available upon request, grants@mnhs.org",9983,,"Cara Letofsky, Barbara Grahn, Shawn Hartfeldt, Becka Rahn, Kim Jeppesen, Kristen Perry, Amanda Norman, Kara O'Brien, Layne Johnson, Tina Sanz (Ex-officio), Debbie Goettel (Ex-officio)",0.33,"Hennepin History Museum","Non-Profit Business/Entity",,,"To provide better organization of the museum collections, allowing for greater public access to the community?s historic resources.",2018-03-01,2019-03-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Cara,Letofsky,"Hennepin History Museum"," 2303 Third Avenue South "," Minneapolis "," MN ",55404,"(612) 718-3495"," cara.letofsky@hennepinhistory.org ",Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cataloging-inventions-innovation-collection,"Visit https://www.mnhs.org/preservation/legacy-grants/advisory-committee","Visit https://www.mnhs.org/about/leadership",,No 17686,"Cataloguing Project",2012,31356,"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.",,,,,,31356,,,,"Minnesota Museum of American Art","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To fully catalog the museum's inventoried collection that documents the history of art in Minnesota under the direction of a qualified museum registrar.",,,2012-02-01,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kristin,Makholm,"Minnesota Museum of American Art",,,,,,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cataloguing-project,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

In order to allow for more stormwater infiltration, an underground storage chamber was installed in the northern half of the swale and a large pre-treatment basin was installed at the northern end as well. Additional smaller pre-treatment catch basins were installed via curb cuts along the western side of the swale. Compacted soils were removed throughout the entire swale area and it was then regraded. Compost and mulch were installed along with Minnesota native plants. Two pathways were put in place to keep people from trampling the plants (and this seems to be working well). Maintenance is provided by the initial contractor for the first two years and the School District has been extremely helpful and eager to keep this project looking good and functioning well. The City of White Bear Lake has agreed to vacuum out the storage chamber as needed. Thus, this project has been a great cooperative effort and arrangement between VLAWMO, the White Bear Lake School District, and the City of White Bear Lake.

In-stream work along Lambert Creek has been maximized with restoration improvements achieving nutrient load reduction. The next step to further improve water quality is to concentrate on restoration efforts on a subwatershed level. A 2010 subwatershed retrofit study was conducted and targeted the most cost-effective means to reduce excess phosphorus levels. As a result of the assessment, the restoration of the Central Middle School swale was identified as a priority.

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