New WMA acquisition acre targets by LSOHC Sections will be consistent with the recommendations of The Citizens Advisory Committee report of 2002? Wildlife Management Area Acquisition The Next 50 Years. Additionally, this program will protect 275 acres of native prairie as state Scientific & Natural Areas (SNAs) and perpetual Native Prairie Bank (NPB) easements. This will provide habitat for rare species, Species in Greatest Conservation Need as identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) and provide habitat for other game and nongame wildlife species. All public SNA acquired through this project will be open to all forms of hunting and fishing. This program will also accelerate the restoration and enhancement of approximately 20,400 acres of native prairie vegetation on Wildlife Management Areas, Aquatic Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and State Forests. This will provide much needed wildlife habitat for a host of grassland and farmland species. Prairie restoration efforts will center on site preparation, seeding of local ecotype seed, post-seed management to assure success, and seed harvest of local ecotype seed for prairie restoration at other public land sites. Prairie enhancement efforts will center on prescribed burning, managing woody cover encroachment, and interseeding. Goat prairie enhancements are a distinct target in the Southeast Forests. There is a very significant unmet need for prescribed burning on public lands. We will hire a roving burn crew for 3 years. The crew will be fully equipped and self sufficient and will therefore be capable of burning an additional 7,000 acres per year. Fifty-percent of their time will be spent on burning (this is the entire spring and fall burn season). During the non-burn season the crew will complete 1,000 acres woody encroachment management annually (25%) on WMAs. The remaining 25% will be spent on other WMA habitat management activities. This work is all supplemental to the existing DNR burning and woody cover management programs ","The availability of public hunting lands does not meet the expectations of a growing Minnesota population. Due to the current recession, land prices have stabilized or declined and a short-term opportunity exists to purchase more value for our expenditures. The Citizens Advisory Committee on WMA acquisitions recommended due to long-term rising land costs and continued habitat loss, acquisition efforts should be accelerated to 21,000 acres per year for 10 years completing 30% of the 50 year goal of 702,200 acres. This objective has not been met due to inadequate funding. Supplementing our existing program with accelerated WMA acquisition will require additional temporary staff to acquire and develop new lands. Temperate grasslands are considered to be one of the most altered ecosystems on the earth. Native prairie and associated species have been targeted as critical habitats by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). Since 1987, MCBS has evaluated and mapped about 200,000 acres of remaining prairie in the state as compared to the nearly 18 million acres identified about 100 years ago based on the public land surveys. Only half of this remaining prairie habitat is currently under some form of permanent protection. Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore high quality prairie vegetation, current funding is insufficient to meet all needs. Many sites on state lands are currently not being actively managed to realize full potential as plant communities or wildlife habitat. Re-establishing prairie on public lands requires periodic burning, inter-seeding grasslands with native species, and up to five years of post-seeding management and assessment. Some state-owned grasslands are ""problem"" sites consisting of monotypic fields of brome of low habitat value. Furthermore exotic and/or invasive plants are encroaching and woody plant encroachment are especially troublesome problems that must be addressed. Portions of newly acquired areas and state-owned marginal croplands also need to be seeded and treated. Use of high quality seed from established prairie sites to plant at other locations has proven to be highly cost-effective. ","We continue to use the Prairie Plan to guide our work in the western part of the state.  While we don't limit ourselves to the core areas from the Plan, core areas and native sites usually rise to the top when we are developing short-term priority lists such as which units to try to burn each spring.  Although Minnesota DNR has the training and know-how to restore and enhance high quality prairie vegetation, past funding was insufficient to meet all needs.  Often time, we'd just 'plant some grass'.  These funds have given us the ability to use much higher diversity seed mixes in our restoration work.  We aren't there yet, but we are getting much closer to restoring the full plant diversity to sites compared to what we were doing a few years ago.  That said, there is still much to learn in the area of seed harvest, seeding method, and post-seeding management.  In some cases we are buying local seed from vendors.  In other cases, we are contracting with neighbors to mechanically harvest seed from established prairies.  This is probably the most cost-effective way of collecting the volume of seed need to do larger restorations.  We are also getting better at using different seed mixes within a site.  A wetland margin should not have the same seed mix as a sandy hilltop.  Probably the most innovative and effective part of this request was the addition of a roving crew.  These crews were 100% additive to the work that was being done in the past.  They had the equipment, skills, and expertise, and were able to move around the entire region to do work that simply wasn't being done in the past.  They were able to do projects by themselves, team up with local DNR staff, and occasionally work with staff from USFWS or TNC to do larger projects such a large Rx fires that cover multiple ownerships.  The other major part we can report in this first full length (5 year) project is our work with contractors.  While DNR staff worked with some contractors in the past, with these funds we were able to scale up these projects.  Through trial and error in some cases we have also figured out who the best contractors are for different types of projects.  Habitat work was new to many contractors.  It sometimes takes significant amounts of time to supervise contractors to make sure they are doing what we need done in the way we need it done.  The more we work with these contractors, we learn their specialties and they become dialed in to what needs to be done and how to do it.  They are also making improvements as they learn.  This is making enhancement work more effective and efficient for both DNR staff and the contractors.  Many of the contractors are pleased to have this extra work, especially when it comes at a time of the year which is normally their 'down' time.  Contractors are telling us they are keeping busy, hiring more staff, and getting more work done as a direct result of OHF funds. ",2010-07-01,2015-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",None,,,Mike,Tenney,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",None,55155,"(651) 259-5230",michael.tenney@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Sherburne, Stearns, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Wilkin, Wilkin","Northern Forest, Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-prairie-grassland-restoration-and-enhancement-program-dnr-lands,,,,

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,,,,

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

The amount of high quality remnant habitat in the ASP is remarkable given its proximity to Twin Cities Metropolitan area. While the location of the ASP provides easy access for many Minnesotans, the associated stressors threaten the ASP's sustainability. The ecological diversity of the ASP is threatened by invasive species and development pressure. The diversity in this rich and important mosaic, complemented by its close proximity to most Minnesotans, is reflected in the number and diversity of organizations that identify the area as a priority, combining our specific knowledge and stakeholder engagement to join forces for its conservation. The robust ASP Partnership is committed to protecting, restoring and enhancing this spectacular region so it can continue to provide vital habitat, invaluable ecological services, and high-quality recreational and engagement opportunities. Bringing clarity and focus to our Phase 7 and all of our work in this complex area is the ASP Partnership's 10-year strategic plan, which aligns with other important plans to identify priority habitats, opportunities, and centers of biodiversity, and a plan of action with measurable goals. With this funding, Anoka Conservation District (ACD), Great River Greening (GRG), Minnesota Land Trust (MLT), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC), with support from other partners, will secure conservation easements on 240 acres to expand habitat cores and corridors, and complete restoration and enhancement (R/E) on 452 acres of public and protected private sites.

Native habitats have become rare and continue to be lost. Oak savanna and prairie - the characteristic habitat of the Anoka Sandplain - now persist over <1% of their historic range. Due to its proximity to the Twin Cities, the ASP is realizing immense development pressure on what native habitat remains. 2. Degradation of habitats on public lands and waters threatens associated wildlife populations. Reduction in habitat quality has had profound impacts on wildlife in the ASP. Minnesota’s CWCP identifies maintenance, enhancement and protection of oak savannas as its first priority in addressing the 97 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) occurring in this ecological subsection. 3. Government agencies often lack sufficient resources/capacity to manage important lands. Inadequate funding/capacity for restoration activities on public lands has resulted in declines in the condition of Minnesota’s most important wildlife habitats. Scope of Work The following outcomes were realized: 1. Expansion of ongoing restoration/enhancement to 16 new project areas; 2. Restoration/enhancement of 3,714 acres, 126% of our 2,952 acres goal, of habitat across priority lands and waters.  Direct recipients and their project sites in this program were: 1.

Throughout SHM’s history, an inventory of the archival holdings has never been completed. The Archival Inventory Project had five main goals. First, the inventory provided an overview of their holdings in greater detail. Second, it identifed gaps in the collection. Third, the project maximized limited resources for collections care by identifying materials in need of conservation. Fourth, ensure staff can better utilize the holdings for exhibitions, programs, and outreach. Finally, the inventory allows for improved access to the collections by staff and the audiences they serve. They now have a current list of every archival item or folder level in regards to the most recently processed materials. This will benefit researchers, staff, genealogists, and students who visit SHM. Their ability to process new collections has improved by utilizing their recently created manual and spreadsheets. These successes will only assist our efforts to select a new catalog software that benefits not only present users but those in the future.

Sticky note feedback from the committee for youth artists will be gathered. Reasons why people love art and the art tour (solicited at the photo booth) will be collected. 2: Information will be gathered with the Passport questions and artist survey.

We can help our community overcome geographic and economic barriers to accessing high-quality musical performances close to home. In doing this we believe that we are also playing our part in instilling the arts into our community and the public life of our region. The New London Music Festival has become a yearly tradition here where people can come, enjoy the day, and experience live the rich musical tradition of our region and our country. This is very much in tune with the civic direction of New London - to make the arts an everyday part of community life. Part of this goal is to increase the number of attendees between the ages of 25 - 50 as they have been under-represented in our audiences. Each year the Festival Committee reviews survey forms, which are given to each attendee. Attendees are given an incentive to return the forms by the award of a cash door prize given to a randomly selected person who has filled out a survey form. The results of the survey tell us a lot about the demographics of our audience (home town and age), 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. Comments, both from the survey and from Facebook, are very useful as they help give us a sense as to what genres of music are interesting and valued by our audience and what new areas we might explore. A meeting of the committee is held within a month after the Festival to read, analyze, and discuss the results and plan for the coming year. Success for us will be measured in total attendance, attendance increases within the 25 - 50 age group, and increases in approval ratings from year to year.","Attendees came from 14 Minnesota counties, 2 other states, plus Canada (2016 had attendees from 11 counties and 1 other state).

In those results we will collect information about who people interacted with, what they learned at the event, and where we can improve the event to further meet the needs of our community.

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.

The public unveiling event would be an optimum time to showcase other student artwork as well- a district art show per se.

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.

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.

Most students appreciated making a book. One comment that stands out is ""I learn how to wrote sentence and how to match pictures and the word and I learned many things."" This response triggered an idea for improving future projects by simply matching imagery and vocabulary, the students could warm up to the ideas of visual information and creativity.

Puppets will help the children to bring about their artistic thoughts on what they want to create. A critical second component will be the verbal statements they develop as they bring their puppets alive. A number of basic art foundation “stones” will be laid in color, cutting, and putting together art materials in many figures. The interaction between classmates will also play a key role. The children will experience the following measurable outcomes: a. They will be able to create and make a simple hand puppet with many different types of animal, story and television characters. They will also learn how to make their puppets come alive with colors, voice variations and special movements. b. In making their puppets the children will have their first artistic experience with a true creative artist with a fun theme. They will be laying the foundations for artistic learning in using many different artistic materials and themes. c. Success will be in the creation of a puppet that each child will take pride in. We want this experience to be a happy and enriching one. d. What will have changed is that the children will have had an artistic experience that they have not had before. It will help to bring an enriching artistic experience for them for years to come. The creation of a puppet will be the basic evaluation tool for each child. We will also look at how they put together colors on their puppets. Another key component will be how they make their puppets come alive. We will see that learning has taken place in the creation of puppets that each child makes during this week. With this puppet each child will be asked to bring his/her puppet alive with different voice variations and on basic story themes. We will also ask each teacher to do a written evaluation of the week on how their children did in creating their puppets. Finally, a number of the children will be asked on how they felt about the week and the special highlights they will remember.","The specific outcome of this residency was to have the children make hand puppets which they did. The climax where this was achieved and demonstrated was the puppet parade which took place on Friday. To have 110 children make hand puppets was great. What was so special about this was that with 14 different ethnic groups the children came up with many different ideas on what they wanted their hand puppets to be. There were of course the traditional animal puppets but we also had a number of characters from different countries. To have kindergarten children do this was a major achievement for our classes. These are children who just have not had any experience like this before. For a first time experience we were very pleased to see how the puppets came out. We were particularly proud of the pride the children took in their puppets.",,,,3023,500,"Al Dahlgre, Debra Erickson, Les Green, Bruce Hentges, Bruce Mohs, Jerry Von Korff, Dennis Whipple",0.00,"Talahi Elementary School AKA Talahi Community School","K-12 Education","Artist in Residency",,"Puppetry Comes to Talahi",2016-02-22,2016-02-26,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Bowden,"Talahi Community School","1321 University Dr SE","St Cloud",MN,56304,"(320) 251-7551 ",jmbowden23@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Sherburne",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/artist-residency-32,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

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

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.

Pre-residency homework of viewing Sherry Turkle's Ted Talk on the subject as well as Douglas Rushkoff's PBS Frontline program called Generation Like were viewed as a jumping off point for the dialog, asking the question does Main Street still exist? In order to understand what main street is in present society the past observations of the elders aided in giving perspective. Social dances of the past were shared by the elders and present day social dances were shared by the youth. Evaluations were handed out for feedback at the end of each session. Daily feedback was received and utilized as well. 2: Intergenerational outreach arts learning opportunities are extremely rare and our topic of wanting to share the past before technology (even before the TV), present of how we are living with technology, and of how we can make a more neighborly future by bringing aspects of the past into present day to utilize and integrate technology- not let it use us. With this program we were able to engage more Minnesotans in arts learning, majority of them being exposed to dance for the very first time, let alone, the 1940s and 50s style of social dancing.

Ben Berger was a park board commissioner and, after seeing a dandelion fountain in Australia, fundraised to build a sister fountain right here in Minnesota. It has become a historic icon in Minneapolis and its park system during several planning processes throughout the last many decades, the community has strongly communicated their desire to preserve, maintain, and restore the fountain for future generations. The Berger Fountain rehabilitation was identified as a priority in the Loring Park Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (NRP) Phase I Plan, the Loring Park NRP Phase II Plan, and the Loring Park Neighborhood Small Area Plan; all three plans were adopted by the Minneapolis City Council in 1995, 2008, and 2013, respectively. The Downtown Public Realm Plan, adopted in 2016, also identified the Berger Fountain as a priority in its planning. A Berger Fountain Task Force (Task Force) was formed in 2014 to work independently and collaboratively with the MPRB to improve maintenance and support for the fountain. In 2017, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) adopted the Downtown Service Area Master Plan (DSAMP) which set goals for long-term development and improvements to parks guided by extensive engagement from the communities that MPRB serves. After months of engaging with community, DSAMP outlined a high-level vision for Loring Park, including a vision for Berger Fountain and the surrounding park space. This vision included refurbishing and retaining the dandelion fountain alongside additional community amenities, such as considering a water feature, and adding a plaza and additional seating areas to increase community access (see pages 4-73 through 4-77 for DSAMP Berger Fountain content: https://www.minneapolisparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/MPRB_DSAMP_Nov2017_ch4.pdf.) In summer 2020, the Berger Fountain ceased to operate because to deferred maintenance and capacity due to the pandemic, which heightened the need to move rehabilitation forward. In June 2022, landscape architect Damon Farber LLC was hired to complete a rehabilitation assessment and preliminary cost estimate for future work. Damon Farber's assessment informed next steps in the process. In 2023, MPRB hired Damon Farber again to engage the community further and complete a final design concept and initial cost estimate. These funds will allow MPRB to advance design work, leading to the reconstruction and restoration the fountain and plaza in 2025. Our community partners are currently fundraising to finalize funds for construction.

Visitors can view birds and small mammals running through the exhibit. We also have informational signage about pollination and our zoo's history. We will be measuring the amount of time visitors are viewing this habitat before we introduce caribou to the revitalized exhibits. After the project is complete, we will be measuring how long visitors are viewing the habitat with caribou present. We aim to increase visitor time spent at the exhibit, which would increase their time spent at the Lake Superior Zoo. Outcome: 25% of zoo visitors will report (via survey) that they learned new information about caribou and why they are no longer found in Minnesota. Outcome: This exhibit will increase the time spent at the zoo by at least 20 minutes. Qualitative Data: Visitors will be asked a small series of questions on their knowledge and views of caribou before the animals and signage are present. This will give us a baseline amount of data on visitor knowledge and level of empathy for caribou. After the exhibit is finished, the same series of questions will again be asked to an equal number of visitors. This new data will help us to understand if we have met our goals of increasing visitor awareness and empathy toward caribou. Outcome: Visitors will report feeling an increased awareness of the conservation topics related to caribou. Outcome: Visitors will report an increased understanding of the importance of caribou from an indigenous perspective.","Achieved proposed outcomes",,,,,,,0.28,"Lake Superior Zoo",,"Revitalizing the old deer yards into Caribou Yards is a transformative initiative aimed at creating habitats for a herd of caribou. The need for this project arises from the closure of the old deer yards, which were previously inhabited by white-tailed deer until the last one passed away of old age. Subsequently, the fencing surrounding these three habitats has weathered and suffered damage during the years of inoccupancy. In order to repurpose this location and provide a new home for animals, it is imperative to undertake comprehensive measures, including the removal of dead trees, construction of new shelters, and the replacement of fencing to meet modern zoological standards. The intrinsic value of this endeavor lies in the historical significance of caribou to the state of Minnesota. Historically native to the region, this species has played a vital role in the native ecosystem. Additionally, they held cultural importance for the indigenous people living in northern Minnesota, who historically hunted and utilized the caribou. Establishing caribou exhibit provides a unique opportunity to work with local tribes to tell the story of this remarkable species. Beyond exhibition, the project also encompasses active participation in research within the state of Minnesota. Staff members will direct their research efforts towards understanding the reasons behind the disappearance of caribou from the region and identifying contemporary threats to their existence. Collaborating with researchers and local government authorities, the staff will explore the feasibility and potential for breeding and re-releasing Caribou within the state. This dual focus on education and research underscores the commitment to not only showcase the animals but also actively contribute to the conservation and understanding of this iconic species in the Minnesota ecosystem. This project will include educational programming by incorporating dynamic interpretive signage and elements strategically placed across multiple locations within the exhibit. This innovative approach aims to create an immersive and enriching experience for visitors, fostering a deeper understanding of the cultural and ecological significance of caribou in Minnesota. Through carefully developed interpretive signage, visitors will embark on an educational journey that transcends traditional boundaries. Placed strategically at key points at the exhibit viewing areas, these dynamic elements will offer insights into the historical native habitat of caribou, their role in Minnesota's ecosystem, and their cultural significance, particularly in the context of the indigenous community in northern Minnesota. The interpretive elements will not only convey information but also engage visitors through interactive and visually compelling displays. By utilizing multimedia features, such as static signage and interactive touchpoints, the exhibit aims to cater to diverse learning styles and preferences, ensuring an inclusive and accessible educational experience for all visitors. Furthermore, the placement of interpretive signage at multiple locations within the exhibit ensures a comprehensive exploration of caribou-related topics and facts. Visitors can seamlessly integrate education into their exploration of the habitat and animal viewing, while gaining a holistic understanding of the species and its importance to Minnesota's natural and cultural heritage. This enhanced educational programming aligns with our commitment to environmental education and conservation, as well as fostering empathy for nature and wildlife. By providing dynamic interpretive elements, the exhibit not only informs visitors about the species but also inspires a sense of responsibility and advocacy for the conservation of caribou and their habitats. Through this innovative approach, the exhibit aspires to be a dynamic platform for learning, promoting awareness, and fostering a deeper connection between visitors and the rich cultural and ecological tapestry of Caribou in Minnesota.",,,2023-12-20,2025-06-30,,"In Progress",,,Haley,Cope,"Lake Superior Zoo",,,,,,HCope@lszoo.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Administration",,"Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass, Chippewa, Chisago, Clay, Clearwater, Cook, Cottonwood, Crow Wing, Dakota, Dodge, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Houston, Hubbard, Isanti, Itasca, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lincoln, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Red Lake, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Rock, Roseau, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wilkin, Winona, Wright, Yellow Medicine",,,https://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/caribou-exhibit,,,,

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

All students advanced in the Tin Whistle Troupe program. 2: As the only comprehensive Irish music program in the state, the Center for Irish Music is committed to bringing its music and workshops to people who do not have access to our programs, either from geographical distance or mobility issues. The Center for Irish Music plans to expand its involvement in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Fest in Brainerd by bringing a larger performing ensemble and offering more music workshops. It also is bringing music to nursing homes, hospitals and community events across the Twin Cities. The success of outcome two was measured by the number of public performances (20), the number of students participating in these performances (53 age range from 5 to 70+), and the number of audience members reached (estimated at over 250,000 including the large festival performances and TV broadcast audience.)","The Center for Irish Music achieved this outcome by adding two performance ensemble classes in 2013, developing its Tin Whistle Troupe program, and entering into a visiting artist residency with famed accordion player Paddy O'Brien. One new ensemble was a beginner course for children under twelve, and one was an intermediate ensemble for children and youth. Both ensembles are feeder courses for the more advanced youth ensemble. The Tin Whistle Troupe program for 6-9 year-olds, developed by Executive Director Norah Rendell, doubled in size in less than a year. The students progressed from level one to level three. The visiting artist residency with Paddy O'Brien allowed both youth and adult to study and learn tunes over a nine-month period. The residency culminated in a public performance at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend in June 2013, and a larger public concert in Fall 2013. The tunes learned are also entering into the larger repertoire of the performance ensembles so the public can enjoy these largely unknown tunes. 2: The Center for Irish Music is committed to sharing its music with the community, especially in areas with limited access to Irish music. The outcome was focused on bringing Center for Irish music programming to the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in Brainerd, and music to hospitals, nursing homes and community events. This outcome was achieved as the Center for Irish Music participated in the Farm on Mathias Celtic Festival in July 2013, sending one instructor Todd Menton, and several students to perform. The Center also performed at several large community events including: the Rochester Irish Music Festival, the Irish Fair of Minnesota, Art Under Glass, at the Como Zoo Conservancy, 2013 Step Up for Down's Syndrome Walk at Como Park, and Grand Old Day. Center for Irish Music ensembles also performed at four nursing homes/senior housing centers in 2013. A large broadcast audience was reached in two performances by the Advanced Youth Ensemble. The youth performed on WCCO's Morning Program in March 2013 and at the Give to the Max Day live video performances at Mall of America in November 2013.",,161172,"Other, local or private",168783,2160,"Mike Lynch, Jeanne Morales, Mike O'Connor, Patrick Cole, Christopher Eliasen, Teish Magee, Ruth McGlynn",0.06,"The Center for Irish Music","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Schools and Conservatories",,,2013-01-01,2013-12-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeanne,Morales,"The Center for Irish Music","836 Prior Ave N","St Paul",MN,55104,"(651) 815-0083 ",jmorales@centerforirishmusic.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Chisago, Crow Wing, Dakota, Goodhue, Hennepin, Meeker, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Wabasha, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-schools-and-conservatories-9,"Judson Bemis Jr.: Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Audience and participant surveys will indicate the effect activities had on the participants. School children, through their teachers, will have let us know what they learned. If we have new/additional people in our audiences as a result, it will indicate that their appreciation for chamber music has been enhanced. Sometimes we hear about results: once a young musician was coached in a master class, making immediate improvements in her playing, and she went on to win a competition shortly thereafter; another time a young child decided after hearing a Family Concert by a guitarist that he would take up the instrument, and he was still studying several years later. Outcomes such as these are always gratifying to hear but cannot easily be predicted.

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

19814,"Community Arts Support Grant",2013,4994,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Great River Chorale is committed to providing choral experiences of the highest quality to the central Minnesota community, and implementing a plan for healthy development and growth of the organization. An award of Community Arts Support from the Central Minnesota Arts board would be a tremendous asset towards these efforts. The following outcomes are expected to be achieved in the next year with support from these funds: A partnership with the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra for the performance of two major choral-orchestral works; Continued collaboration with two local choral or other arts ensembles for our annual holiday concert; Collaboration with at least one local arts ensemble for a spring concert; Implementation of outreach programming which brings the choral experience to targeted groups in our community that may not have access otherwise; Membership retention from season 2012-13 into 2013-14; Recruitment of quality singers to achieve an ideal 50-60 singer membership in 2013-2014; Increase of member involvement in promotion, ticket sales, and fund raising; Development of a Great River Chorale Handbook; Increase of revenue from ticket sales at annual holiday concert and spring concert; Increase of revenue from fundraising efforts, including ad sales and donor cultivation; Development of a revamped, comprehensive website, and increased use of social media platforms. Great River Chorale will continue to expose its members and the larger community to music of varying styles, eras, genres, and cultures to broaden their awareness and education across the artistic spectrum.Great River Chorale is thrilled to have been invited to become artistic partners with the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra for the purpose of performing large choral-orchestral masterworks on a seasonal basis. The artistic directors of both organizations have agreed upon repertoire for two collaborations for the 2013-14 concert season. This exciting partnership will increase community awareness of Great River Chorale and enhance the ensemble's reputation as an artistic leader in Central Minnesota, thereby increasing audiences and revenue for Great River Chorale concerts (independent of those with the orchestra). We will evaluate this through ticket sales and revenue, and asking our audiences if they attended either choral-orchestral concert on a survey. Great River Chorale relies heavily on and will continue to seek verbal and written feedback from program participants for program evaluation. We measure our success through feedback from performers, artistic directors and audience members. Recently, we began to use electronic evaluation methods with our membership and collaborating group members to gauge personal artistic growth and educational merit from participation in our programming, creating a record of measurable data. Great River Chorale regularly includes a survey/questionnaire in concert programs. We will continue to seek measurable, constructive feedback from our audience to ensure that the programming we provide is serving the intended purpose. Also, we’ll continue to record how attendees learn about our concerts, if they are new attendees or have followed Great River Chorale previously, and if they find the pricing affordable. This will help us to know if our marketing efforts are successful, that we are reaching the broader community as we hope to, and that our pricing is competitive with other local cultural opportunities. In part, Great River Chorale measures the value and worth of its collaborative programs through the continued interest we receive from collaborators. We will know we have been successful in our collaborations with other area ensembles through their continued participation in our collaborative programs, as well as continued invitations to participate in their programs. Our first outreach effort is scheduled in February 2013 at the Saint Benedict’s Senior Community. We will record the event (audio and video) and solicit feedback from community members, family members and caregivers to evaluate the effectiveness and worth of the programming for that particular audience. We will also request feedback from Great River Chorale members to determine their perceived value of outreach programming. Future outreach programming will be determined by perceived need in the Central Minnesota community, and evaluated through written and verbal feedback from participants. Great River Chorale looks forward to developing new organizational documents like a choir handbook to increase member identity with our mission, vision and goals, and contribute to a healthy artistic environment. Choir members will know what they can expect from the organization and the expectations of each individual for the continued success of the ensemble. We will evaluate the worth of this document by surveying our membership. We plan to emphasize member volunteerism in the coming season, which will include the formation of committees to assist with advanced ticket sales, fund raising campaigns, and promotional efforts. Success in member growth and engagement will be measured by member retention for our next season, an increase in membership after the audition process (while holding to a standard of “quality versus quantity”), and member participation in volunteer efforts. The development of a more comprehensive website and broadened use of social media like Facebook will increase the effectiveness of communication with a larger community, attract new audience members, and thus, increase revenue. Success in this area will be measured by ticket revenue and audience feedback, the obtainment of a new web platform that is more user friendly, and the redesign of our website. Also, our Facebook page will promote concerts, collaborations, outreach events as well as share pictures and musical clips when available. These two web areas will also be used for member recruitment purposes.","The most valuable outcomes Great River Chorale achieved during the 2012-2013 season were in organizational development. The board, business manager and artistic director aimed to develop a clear identity for Great River Chorale, then establish and implement a plan for the healthy growth and development of the organization. With the help of a consultant we developed new mission, values, and vision statements and drafted a strategic plan for the next five years. By the end of the fiscal year we approved a strategic plan, recruited one new non-singer board member, created a member handbook, and rolled out a new website. In an effort to increase revenue, we established pricing and created a sell-sheet for concert sponsorship and advertising opportunities for the upcoming season. We created a new fundraising initiative to be rolled out in 2013-2014, where individuals or businesses can sponsor a singer for a concert season for a set price and have their name printed in the program with the singer's name. In addition to establishing ways to increase funds from sources other than member dues, ticket sales and grant awards, we went through our budget and identified areas where costs could be cut. All this was achieved thanks to many long hours put in by the organization’s leaders and the support of the Central Minnesota Arts Board and SunUp Foundation. Great River Chorale was thrilled to continue to provide choral experiences of the highest quality to the central Minnesota community in 2012-2013. In an effort to connect with a broader range of the central Minnesota community, last season we focused on producing themed concerts that would attract whole families. With broadened marketing efforts and capped pricing for families with more than two children per household, we found our themed concerts to be successful to this end. We produced two collaborative, family friendly concerts: A Child’s Christmas, in collaboration with the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and the St. Cloud State University Preparatory Program’s Cantabile Girls’ Choir; and The Great American Sing, in collaboration with the Kennedy Colts Sixth Grade Honor Choir from the Kennedy Community School in St Joseph and the Mustang Choir from the Meadowvale Elementary School in Elk River. Surveys and personal interviews showed that the audience found the offerings to be high quality performances and a great value. Many appreciated the child-friendliness of our two public productions. An improved ticketing system helped us record that several larger families took advantage of the capped pricing and enjoyed the performances together. Great River Chorale was also named the principal choral partner of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra for the 2013-2014 season--a direct result of two collaborations with that organization in the fall of 2012. Great River Chorale began working towards increasing our exposure and name recognition throughout central Minnesota and greater Minnesota and sought radio airplay and radio interviews to this end. We were rewarded when segments from our holiday concert and our spring offering were featured in December 2012 and May 2013 on the Minnesota Public Radio program, Regional Spotlight. This achievement resulted in Great River Chorale’s inclusion on Minnesota Public Radio’s Taste of the Holidays, Volume 4, a compilation CD including holiday music performed by Minnesotan musicians. The CD was distributed to Minnesota Public Radio donors and available for purchase through the radio station late in 2013. This was fantastic exposure for the group and helped Great River Chorale differentiate itself from other local choral organizations. We were also pleased to cultivate a relationship with local radio station WJON, AM1240. We were invited to interview and perform live on air with Pete and Doug in the Morning in May of 2013, which increased community awareness of Great River Chorale. Listeners who were given free tickets did show up to our spring performance. This experience increased exposure helped to broaden our audience while increasing the community’s recognition of the group. Great River Chorale was intent on expanding outreach efforts during the 2012-2013 season, bringing choral music to members of the community who might not otherwise have access. To this end, we offered a free outreach concert to the residents, families and caregivers of residents in The Special Care Unit at Saint Benedict’s Senior Community in St Cloud. The demand for this concert was so great that, at the request of Saint Benedict's Senior Community Staff, Great River Chorale added a second performance that day for residents of the larger Saint Benedict's Senior Community. Bringing the performance to them gave residents direct access to a choral experience of the highest quality. Residents, family members and caregivers were incredibly appreciative and touched by the World War II era songs and were eager participants in the music making. Great River Chorale members also felt tremendous satisfaction from the performance.",,28299,"Other, local or private",33293,4994,"Kate Gardner, Dennis Douma, Connie Taylor, Stephen Fuller, Maureen McCarter, Jennifer Pearson-Hennen",,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Great River Chorale is an auditioned adult community choir that enriches the Central Minnesota community through choral excellence.",,,2012-09-01,2013-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Ferrell,"Great River Chorale","PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56302,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Sherburne, Benton",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-grant-45,"Chris Rasmussen: art teacher for 35 years at Foley Senior High (retired), Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member and College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Foley High School Art Teacher, potter; Peter Veljkovich: realtor (retired), member of the Little Fine Arts Committee, county representative for the South Suburban Arts Committee, photographer, Disc Jockey; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; John Stander: Executive Director of Elk River Arts Alliance, career school administrator; Janice Courtney: arts advisor/Assistant Director of Saint Cloud State University Program Board; P.J.

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

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

One of the key indicators is the level of turnover in our band. In other words, once a student starts with our band, how likely is it that they will return to play more than one year with us? Though we don't have an exact percentage, we know the vast majority of our students play with us multiple seasons and many will play with the band four years or more. We believe this is a definite indication of the value of the experience for these students. If the experience is not meeting their needs or the expectations of their parents, it is unlikely the students would continue in the program.We measure these goals by asking our band members and their parents. We formally and informally ask the members to evaluate the quality of the band's performances and the quality of their individual contributions, seeking their estimates of their growth in instrumental skills, improvisation, musical knowledge, and expectations of themselves as musicians and band members.

We anticipate a schedule of ongoing performances, with perhaps an increased number of performances and collaborations during upcoming seasons to increase our visibility and gain more audience recognition. The number of young singers auditioning for a spot in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota continues to increase each year. A proposed venture is to eventually add more performing groups, with ideas ranging from a small touring group to travel to area high schools for recruitment purposes, a small chamber group, and an all-womenÆs choir to allow more young women to participate. The latter venture - a WomenÆs Choir - is beginning to take shape, as the Board prepares to perform a search, and eventually hire, a new WomenÆs Choir Director, with an anticipated start date of July, 2012. With the added stability as an organization as a whole, guided by an experienced board, it is clear that the WomenÆs Choir, as well as the other small groups, are all now viable possibilities. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota expects to be able to continue its goal of commissioning a new work each season, thus adding a quality piece of repertoire to the choral world. Expansion of artistic and administrative staff will be continued in future seasons, with the hiring of interns to assist the Artistic Director and Executive Director.

Given the number of singers who audition each year, it is clear that we continue to receive the support of high school choral directors throughout the Central Minnesota region who advertise to their students the opportunity to audition for participation in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. 3. Youth Sing Out, a popular, annual performance that Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota hosts in the spring, includes the Cantabile GirlsÆ Choir and The St. JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir to perform, both separately and with Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota in a mass number. This gives these feeder"" organizations (in terms of age) a chance to hear Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota up close. We have had a large number of former Cantabile and Saint JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir singers join Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. 4. While our exposure to Youth Chorale of Central MinnesotaÆs singers is primarily during the course of time they are actively participating in the group, we know that we are helping to turn out an accomplished set of singers who have a love of music. Our hope is that they continue to use their skills in future performing opportunities. 5.

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

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

With these grant funds, the Artistic Staff will also look to increase the number of singers in the Leadership Team groups from four (4) to six (6). Adding an office intern to help with smaller day-to-day office tasks will help the Executive Director reduce the amount of hours spent on administrative tasks like creating labels mailings, and focus more on larger, strategic activities.Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience and ticket sales at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants. We can continue to evaluate our two ensembles by the number of registered auditions. As our current singers have positive experiences while being a part of the Youth Chorale, they are ambassadors to others in their schools, all while promoting an interest in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. Middle School and High School directors will receive updated audition materials to distribute to their choral programs. Our new promotional video will be distributed with these packets and will also be used for Development purposes such as for a speaker’s bureau and when meeting with potential private and corporate sponsors. We can evaluate the effectiveness of this video by the number of new sponsors. Singers have expressed an interest in more outreach opportunities during the season. These outreach sessions will give the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Board and Staff and idea of what our singers would like to do in the community, from singing at local nursing homes to collecting food for the local food shelf. The Board and Staff will discuss what options are viable and proceed with making connections based on singers’ viewpoints. Evaluation of this process will include interviewing singers beforehand, surveying them afterwards, and observing whether our goal for outreach and more visibility elicits more collaborations and/or gain audience recognition. The Artistic Staff will establish a clear structure for the Student Leadership Team that meets regularly, is sustainable, and assists in organizational development. Increased interaction and shared experiences between all members of varied singing abilities will take place. The primary focus of the Student Leadership Team is to assist the conductors in making sure that their peers (singers) are satisfied with how the choir is functioning, as well as making sure that the choirs are operating cohesively. At the end of the season, we expect an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who wish to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. By adding a student intern to the office staff, the Executive Director will be able to focus on larger responsibilities that require more time. Also, the student intern can take on some concert preparation responsibilities like mailings or concert set-up, freeing up the Executive Director to spend more time getting volunteers settled or even greeting concert patrons without having to be spread thin at the events. At the end of the season, the Board and Executive Director will evaluate the time spent on projects compared with the past two years of not having extra help.","Choral Festival reached 85 female singers, 50 middle/high school choir directors, success evaluated by attendance, participation, audience size, online survey; DVD yielded 32 new singers, 3 corporate sponsors; Student Leadership Team grew to 5 members per choir; 200 in assisted living communities reached/large donations to food shelf as part of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota outreach; student office assistant with leadership qualities helped manage concert logistics, allowed Executive Director to focus on larger-scale projects.",,,,10000,7263,"Joann Weber, David Tilstra, Mary Jo Bot, Chad Armstrong, Jennifer Butkowski, Karen Cash, David Paulson, Kara Rysavy, Andrew Walesch, James Wiant, Ethan Wittrock, Tammie Yapp",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Art Support",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a non-profit chorus for students in grades 9-12 from the Central Minnesota area, representing 21 different high schools and 21 communities.",2013-07-01,2014-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-art-support-14,"Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.","Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.",,No

High attendance by musicians at rehearsals. New public venues with Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles and speakers. Increased activity indicating Buffalo Community Orchestra's visibility on social media. Organizational effectiveness approved by Advisory Council. Surveys will reflect 80% quality performance ratings. Rehearsal attendance above 85% average. Increased number of events for community outreach. Increase in website hits, Facebook likes. Organizational effectiveness gauged by Advisory Board survey.","Goals were set and measured throughout the ’15-’16 concert season. (1) Goal: High quality Buffalo Community Orchestra performance for audiences (a) Survey data from audience, board and musician questionnaires were collected, analyzed, interpreted, and put to use in program planning in the subsequent season. The general goal of 80% approval for concert quality was met. (b) A survey of the May 2016 audience produced 56 responses, 100% of whom gave Buffalo Community Orchestra’s performance level and concert facilities a satisfaction rating. (The questionnaire was structured only with a nominal yes/no rather than ordinal response format). Concert-goers who took the survey were almost unanimous in approving the length of Buffalo Community Orchestra concerts this season. (c) During the same month at a rehearsal toward the end of the season Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians surveyed (n=40) indicated a 4.2 level of satisfaction for all 2015-16 concerts, with 4.5 expressed for the October concert. (2) Goal: High attendance by musicians at weekly rehearsals, (a) It was hoped that attendance of musicians at weekly rehearsals will improve above 85% as a season average. For certain sections of the orchestra that attendance was below 85%, in part because specific brass and wind instruments had less music to play week after week. (b) String attendance figures reflected higher levels but data did not separate those musicians from the total. The bass section was awarded dinner prizes for perfect attendance, compliments of The Tavern at Wild Marsh Golf Club. (3) Goal: New visibility for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the community, including public venues with Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles and speakers, as evidenced by: (a) The major addition of an additional summer concert in a new geographic area: Winsted, (b) Buffalo Community Orchestra and guests winter bowling afternoon at local bowling alley, (c) String quartet of Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians performed in Annandale Minnesota for Community Health Foundation fund-raising dinner. Outreach performances by Trillium quartet, consisting of Buffalo Community Orchestra string players, occurred in 6 locales. (d) Inclusion of new music groups and soloists in Buffalo Community Orchestra performances. Examples: youth Bravo string quartet performing at May ’16 prior to concert student Buffalo Community Orchestra member and harp soloist Katherine Strand performing at Buffalo Community Orchestra concert during reception time. (e) artistic partnering for poster design and online display with Wayne Hein, professional artist and Buffalo Art Guild organizer, editor of ""Palette Notes."" (4) Goal: Increased frequency of activity as a measure of Buffalo Community Orchestra's visibility on social media (a) An entirely new website was developed for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the summer of 2016, so results for attracting viewers can be measured for the 2016-17 season. (b) Numerous photos were posted on Facebook during the season, with 216 likes; and 322 visitors to the Buffalo Community Orchestra website. In February of 2016 there were 3,283 followers of Concertmaster Lindsey Bordner. A high of 980,341 accompanied the visuals offered to promote the March 2016 concert. (5) Organizational effectiveness as judged by Buffalo Community Orchestra's Advisory Council (a) A representative of the Advisory Council members attended Buffalo Community Orchestra’s spring annual meeting. Comments forwarded by her to the orchestra’s members were entirely positive, with emphasis on strong organization and tailoring concerts to the preferences of the audience. It was recommended that the holiday concert be kept carefully within a 90-minute duration, which the board discussed as guidance in summer concert planning. (b) Further direct feedback was given by Council members attending a fall pub gathering.

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

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

Concert attendance, ticket sales, new staff hours evaluated and compared by Executive Director; Directors assess contact time with singers; Youth Chorale of central Minnesota singers surveyed on program offerings and satisfaction; new auditions counted after spring Chamber Singers runout.","By adding office support staff this past season, and being able to delegate a variety of day-to-day tasks, the Executive Director of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to spend an additional 3-4 hours per week dedicated to the promotion of the organization. As a result from her efforts, concert attendance and awareness of the choirs increased by 12% per concert in comparison to prior years without office support staff. Having a third music intern gave the artistic staff more contact time with singers during regular rehearsal evenings. This intern was able to take rehearsal notes and upload to a weekly website for singers, run additional voice sectionals, and take care of administrative and logistical tasks prior to rehearsal (such as singer check-in, setting up the various spaces for rehearsal, etc.), thus allowing the Directors to spend an additional 30 minutes on the teaching of the music so that singers were fully prepared for future concerts and appearances. Seventy-nine singers and their parents in the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization were surveyed to see how they were connecting with Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and each other. The purpose of the Singer Survey was to find out if they were motivated, engaged, felt as if they had a sense of belonging in the choir, as well as a sense of purpose. Parents were asked on their survey to respond to a series of questions based on their own experiences of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, as well as their opinion of their child’s experiences. Through qualitative and quantitative measures, Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their enjoyment of the program at a 4.4 out of five (88%); Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their own personal preparation for concerts with a ranking of 4.2 out of five (84%); Singers’ parents rated Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota performances as 4.9 out of a scale of five (98%); and Singers’ parents felt that Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a positive impact on youth rating the organization a 3.7 out of four (93%). As a result of these findings, we were able to evaluate and change future programs and offerings for the 16-17 season to better serve our singers and choir families. The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Chamber Singers traveled on a one day run-out in the spring of 2016 to five (5) Central Minnesota high schools as a way of spreading the word about Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and promoting our upcoming spring auditions. We estimate over 260 total singers saw our Chamber Singers perform over the course of the day. As a result of our efforts, thirty (30) new singers signed up to audition for a spot in our choir (via survey). In addition, while we retained a good portion of our singers from the previous season, 40 new singers auditioned to become a member of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota in comparison to our 2014-15 season. We believe the higher numbers were due in part to social media marketing, word of mouth, and our run-out to the area schools. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to position itself at an artistic level of excellence to achieve an invitation to perform at the American Choral Directors Association’s National Convention in Minneapolis during the 2016-17 season. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota's Artistic Director submitted audio/footage of our 2015-16 Mixed Choir to the American Choral Directors Association National Convention committee and after a number of blind auditions, the invitation arrived and stated that the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was one of two (2) Minnesota choirs serving singers under the age of 18 that were invited to perform in concert at the 2017 convention.",,75839,"Other, local or private",85839,9151,"Karen Cash, Ethan Wittrock, Alex Klaers, Kelly Warren, David Tilstra, Susan Cogdill, Chad Holien, Guytano Magno, Lexann Reischl, Joann Weber, Andrew Walesch",0.00,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is an auditioned, non-profit chorus for students in grades 9-12 from the Central Minnesota area, representing 16 different high schools and 21 communities.",2015-07-01,2016-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-70,"Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser, Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: Minnesota visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, serves on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, has served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, printer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2

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

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

By hosting hybrid programs available to Minnesotans across the state, we reduce barriers to participation, reach a diverse array of participants, and support students with diverse learning styles. Virtual programs strengthen our in-person experiences by allowing us to engage students and families before and after the on-water Canoemobile program, leading to deeper engagement and impact. - Providing standards-based educational content through hands-on activities that engage students with Minnesota history and culture. Program content, developed in collaboration with the National Park Service and other partners, is tied to Minnesota state standards to seamlessly integrate into school curriculum. In addition, even virtual sessions include a hands-on kit with materials and tools for active participation and experiential engagement. - Providing training and career pathway opportunities that tie to outdoor careers and Minnesota's outdoor heritage. - Supporting the physical, mental, and social-emotional wellbeing of Minnesota youth, adults, and families through immersive outdoor experiences. Specific project activities teach Minnesota history and culture while building skills in camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, fire building, species identification, animal adaptations, and orienteering. By providing virtual instruction as well, WI delivers hands-on educational experiences in the outdoors that tie to classroom learning and enhance the distance-learning experience. For many participants, WI provides a foundation that offers the first immersive experience in the outdoors. Our youth programs have been shown to increase student confidence, improve persistence and grit, inspire interest in outdoors-related careers, and cultivate a stewardship ethic. Our programs are designed to break down barriers to access for individuals and communities that are historically underrepresented in outdoor spaces and activities - specifically, individuals who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+, those who experience financial inequity, and individuals with disabilities.

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

The program collects information on the geology of Minnesota to create maps and reports depicting the characteristics and pollution sensitivity of Minnesota's ground-water resources. County Geologic Atlases are used in planning and environmental protection efforts at all levels of government and by businesses to ensure sound planning, management, and protection of land and water resources. This appropriation will: Support completion of geologic atlases for Todd, Carlton, McLeod, Carver, Benton and Chisago counties; Initiate geologic atlases for Anoka and Wright counties; Make collected data available in a digital format; Investigate the recharge and physical characteristics of the Mt. Simon Aquifer - the deepest bedrock aquifer of south central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro area, which supplies all or some of the water needs of over one million Minnesotans. Work will be conducted in McLeod, Wright, Sherburne, and Isanti counties. PART 2: MN Department of Natural Resources Overall Project Outcome and Results Most data collected for the Mt. Simon - Hinckley aquifer Phase 2 study were derived from 16 wells installed at 10 locations to depths of 100 to 695 feet in McLeod, Wright, Hennepin, Sherburne, Anoka, and Isanti counties. In the Phase 2 area chemical residence time indicators from the Mt. Simon aquifer indicate groundwater ages less than approximately 1,000 years in eastern Wright and Sherburne counties and northern Isanti County. These relatively young groundwater ages are consistent with water level and stratigraphic information that indicate both direct and indirect connection of surface water to the Mt. Simon- Hinckley aquifer through localized focused recharge. This project has shown that the most critical recharge area for the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area water supply includes portions of Wright, Sherburne, and Isanti counties. Protection of this region from water pollution should be a high priority for all levels of government. Continued monitoring of wells installed for this investigation will create a long term record that can be used to interpret changes in local and regional water supply due to water use or climate changes. The County Geologic Atlas, Part B, portion of this project supported the completion of three and the initiation of six Part B atlases in the County Geologic Atlas series that the DNR prepares in collaboration with the Minnesota Geological Survey. Each Part B atlas provides groundwater maps, data describing aquifer properties and use, analytical results of groundwater chemistry sampling including age-dating samples, and interpretation of pollution sensitivity. All of these maps and data are used to meet many environmental information and protection needs, including resource protection planning, water resource management, water appropriation permitting, contamination mitigation, education, among others. The Todd, Carlton, and Benton Part B atlases were completed and the Carver, McLeod, Chisago, Blue Earth, Nicollet, and Sibley Part B atlases were initiated.   Project Results Use and Dissemination The reports from this project have been available on the DNR website since the summer of 2012. The Mt. Simon project was presented as a poster at the Midwest Groundwater Association meeting in Minneapolis in October 2012. We are currently producing a short (15 minute) video highlighting some of the results of the project for presentation at future meetings and for general viewing on the internet. In addition, a summary of the project will be submitted to the Minnesota Groundwater Association for inclusion in the quarterly newsletter. The well log and well construction information is currently available in the project report and the Minnesota Department of Health County Well Index (http://mdh-agua.health.state.mn.us/cwi/cwiViewer.htm). The wells have become part of the DNR observation well network. Water level data is currently available at: http://climate.umn.edu/ground_water_level/. Publication of Part B atlas reports include preparation and printing of the County Geologic Atlases, Part B, and delivery of printed reports to the county; preparation and delivery of Part B materials to MGS for inclusion in a DVD version of each completed project that incorporates geographic information system (GIS) files, database files, pdfs, and additional digital products. When each atlas Part B is completed a training workshop for the county and local users is held to explain the results and how the maps, data, and other information can be used to assist local water resource programs.

The program collects information on the geology of Minnesota to create maps and reports depicting the characteristics and pollution sensitivity of Minnesota's ground-water resources. County Geologic Atlases are used in planning and environmental protection efforts at all levels of government and by businesses to ensure sound planning, management, and protection of land and water resources. The Minnesota Geological Survey will use this appropriation to:Initiate geologic atlases for Sherburne and Morrison counties;Continue work on county geologic atlases already in progress;Make collected data available in a digital format;Investigate the hydrologic properties of the St. Lawrence Formation in southeastern Minnesota;Evaluate methods for investigating groundwater flow pathways in urban areas, using Rochester, MN as the test area.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Minnesota Geological Survey maps sediment and rock because these materials control where water can enter the subsurface (recharge), where and how much water can reside in the ground (aquifers), where the water re-emerges (discharge), and at what rates this movement occurs. This information is essential to managing the quality of our water and the quantity that can be sustainably pumped. This project completed geologic atlases for Sherburne and Morrison counties, and contributed to atlas work in Anoka, Wright, Hennepin, Hubbard, Becker, Wadena, St. Louis, and Lake counties. Information about the geology is gleaned from the records of domestic wells, and from drilling conducted for this project. In Sherburne County we used 14,450 wells and 5 cores and in Morrison County we used 6,400 wells and 21 cores, and soil borings and geophysical surveys. From the data we created maps of the geology immediately beneath the soil; the aquifers within the glacial sediment; and the shape, elevation, and rock types of the bedrock surface. These maps and data support monitoring, wellhead protection, water appropriation, clean-ups, and supply management. The deep bedrock aquifers in southeastern Minnesota are in most places not yet significantly impacted by pollution and presumed to be protected by low permeability overlying geologic layers, called aquitards. Even though aquitards are an important control on recharge and contaminant transport, their hydrologic characteristics are poorly understood compared to aquifers. This subproject investigated the St. Lawrence Formation through existing data, new data on fracturing, and by constructing an instrumented borehole to test the water-bearing characteristics. We learned that the St. Lawrence acts to retard vertical water flow where it is buried by more than 50 feet of overlying rock, but fails to do so in more shallow settings. Parts of the formation convey water horizontally in either setting. A third subproject traced ground water movement in the Rochester area by examining the chemistry of the water. We learned that flow patterns are changing, apparently in response to high capacity pumping. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION County geologic atlases are distributed in print and digital formats. The digital format allows us to include all the data that support the maps and the ability to change the maps or create new ones. The products are available from the MGS web site (http://www.mngs.umn.edu/index.html). We also conduct post-project workshops in the map area to familiarize users with the products and their applications. The products are also distributed to libraries. Products of the Morrison County Geologic Atlas have been applied to finding new municipal water supplies in Little Falls and Motley. We expect both these atlases will be applied to understanding the widespread distribution of nitrate in ground water in this part of Minnesota. Additional funding from DNR has allowed us to continue to collect data from the instrumented borehole constructed for the St. Lawrence subproject. This additional data will be combined with what we have in a formal MGS Report of Investigations. The Rochester study is likely to improve computer simulations of water flow and influence decisions about the distribution and pumping rates of the wells that supply the city.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Dale,Setterholm,"Minnesota Geological Survey","2642 University Ave W","St. Paul",MN,55114-1057,"(612) 627-4780 x2",sette001@umn.edu,"Analysis/Interpretation, Digitization/Online Information Access, Inventory, Mapping, Research","University of Minnesota ",,"Isanti, Olmsted, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/county-geologic-atlases-and-related-hydrogeologic-research,,,,

Other enhancements, such as brushland shearing or mowing have low commercial value but high wildlife value. These additional habitat enhancements improve the quality of the forests for both wildlife and outdoor recreation. DNR's Conservation Agenda, Wildlife Action, Forest Action, SNA Strategic Land Protection and SFRMP Plans, will guide habitat enhancements in this proposal to see that all activities meet these objectives.","Northern Minnesota's forest habitats include pines, maple and basswood, aspen, oak forests and savannas, as well as different age classes of forests. The region also includes rivers, lakes, sedge meadows, bogs, and brushland. Each of these habitats are home to a wide array with game and non-game species, and multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). They provide outdoor recreation, timber products, and support local communities. They also clean and absorb water and sequester carbon. However, these forests face increasing stress from invasive species, climate change, forest loss, and fragmentation. While forest harvest is an important tool in management of our forests, we can do additional or different enhancements to maximize the diversity and productivity of these habitats for both wildlife and people. For example, timber harvest can create a wildlife opening. However other management such as periodic mowing is needed to maintain he opening. We will accomplish strategic and targeted enhancements through contractors to conduct activities which support healthy, diverse and resilient habitats. Activities may include 1) invasive species control, 2) firebreak development and maintenance as well as prescribed burns in fire-dependent forests, brushlands and wetlands, 3) maintaining wildlife openings 4) tree removal, girdling, brush mowing/shearing, 5) infrastructure for conservation grazing in openland and brushland habitats, 6) tree release, such as enhancing oak management for mast production, 7) forest regeneration site prep, 8) seed and acorn collection followed by broadcasting and/or drilling of seed, and 8) tree planting and protection to reforest and restore habitats, add conifer to the landscape, provide thermal cover, diversify forests, and address ash stand management. Forest managers in Minnesota regularly work across agencies and NGOs to take a landscape view of forests. For instance, there is currently an NRCS RCPP (Regional Conservation Partnership Program) that promotes young forests for golden-winged warblers and other species that use these habitats. The people involved with this program regularly talk to DNR staff and those working for other agencies in northern Minnesota to coordinate efforts.

These lands provide wildlife habitat as well as Wildlife and pollinator populations are a fraction of what they were even a decade ago. Water quality, especially nitrate contamination, is a human health and wildlife issue. Restoring and enhancing grasslands are one of the most effective ways to improve all of these issues. Grassland and wetland restoration and enhancement, carefully guided by planning, is one of the best ways to address many of these issues. This programmatic request seeks funding to enhance grassland habitat on permanently protected grasslands and prairies, most of which are open to public hunting. Without periodic management to simulate historical disturbance patterns, grassland lose diversity and productivity. Invasive species may increase and woody vegetation will encroach into the grasslands, changing their very character and the species that inhabit the area.

We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species.

These Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. For instance, a short dry period in a part of the state may allow them to conduct a late summer prescribed fire which was not in any of the original work plans. Roving Crews have begun experimenting with different burn seasons. The DNR will be hosting a workshop later this fall to discuss the science and management behind seasonal burns so that all staff and partners can continue to learn new applications for old tools. This appropriation included a partnership with the USFWS. They were able to bring in 'detailers', federal crews from outside MN to dramatically enhance their capacity and ability to enhance wildlife habitat on WPAs and Refuges. The final acres reported here are reduced from our recent Status Updates. In further conversations with the USFWS, we calculated the number of detailers, number of in-state fire staff, and pro-rated the acres to account for this ratio. We were also able to experiment with goat browsing in the SE to control buckthorn. SNA staff will monitor these sites over the coming years. This may provide a way to reduce chemical use and integrate some new and emerging agricultural practices, goats, into habitat management for the benefit of wildlife and the agricultural economy. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species such as pheasants. However, there is more and more interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. Diverse, healthy, productive habitat is good for a wide range of species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. As we continue to use these funds, costs for projects will probably increase. In the early years of these funds, we completed a number of simpler or easier projects, the low-hanging fruit.

This should in turn increase native plant diversity and increase pollinator habitat.   One area new for this appropriation is conservation grazing, although in this case much of it could be referred to as conservation browsing.  Goats were used in some cases for grazing prairie, especially on steep slopes.  These areas are often dangerous for equipment and the goats reduce reliance on chemicals.  Below is one description from DNR staff of this type of project.   ""At Mound Prairie SNA, west of Hokah, MN, goats have spent multiple seasons grazing two bluff prairies cleared of eastern red cedar trees and invasive brush, such as buckthorn and honeysuckle.  The goats were able to reduce the vigor of the woody vegetation, allowing native grasses and forbs an opportunity to grow.  Using goats reduced the amount of chemical needed to control the invasive woody brush! There is now a sufficient grass component to facilitate prescribed burning.""       A similar project in central Minnesota shows the benefits of cedar removal to prairie plants and wildlife.    ""Starting in 2016 and continuing into 2019 invading trees and brush were removed from about 25 acres of rock outcrop and wet prairie at Cedar Rock SNA in Redwood County.  The work was done in two phases; first large trees (mostly cedar) were cut, treated, piled and burned.  Two years later a follow-up pass was made to control buckthorn which had grown after the removal of the taller trees.  Although formal post-treatment surveys have not been conducted; previously undocumented rare plants are apparent and the area appears to harbor a broad array of both plant and animal species."" One area that gets little attention in habitat work is the ecosystem benefits of that work.  Again, numerous studies have shown that grassland restoration is a very good way to remove carbon from the air, helping to mitigate climate change.  Even prescribed burning, because it stimulates root growth will help remove carbon from the air and store the carbon in the soil.   As always, monitoring continues to be an issue with all these projects, both at the individual site and the larger landscape.  The conservation partners in the state, including DNR, FWS, TNC, and others, continue to work to develop statistically rigorous ways of addressing these questions.   Attached are a series of images from Mound Prairie SNA (word doc) and Cedar Rock SNA (indiv jpgs).  The Mound Prairie images show the impacts of cedar removal in the SE.  The Cedar Rock aerial images show how cedars were only scattered over the site in the 1930s, covered the site before this project, and how these funds help open up a large area to prairie.   For this final report, dollars for each project are pro-rated based on the acre percentage for each project relative to the budget.   ",2014-07-01,2019-10-31,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Greg ",Hoch,"DNR Wildlife","500 Lafayette Rd ","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5230",greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Le Sueur, Lyon, Mahnomen, Marshall, McLeod, Meeker, Norman, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Pope, Red Lake, Redwood, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Traverse, Wabasha, Wadena, Washington, Wilkin, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-vi,,,,

Native prairie, other grasslands that provides habitat for wildlife, and wetlands are key components of functional prairie landscapes that have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. None of this work was targeted at a specific species of wildlife. We used that approach that diverse productive habitats benefit a wide variety of both game and non-game wildlife species as well as any threatened or endangered species. In our restorations, we use very diverse seed mixes. This is obviously beneficial for pollinators. However, all those insects also create a food base for a large number of wildlife species. The structural diversity all those plant species create in the habitat allow every species to find an ideal niche in the grass as well as accommodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 48,341 acres were affected: 1,690 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 46,651 in Enhance.",,,7584000,352400,,14.28,DNR,"State Government","We restored and enhanced 48,341 acres with 521 projects on Wildlife Management Areas, Scientific and Natural Areas, and Native Prairie Bank Easements.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR were spending these funds in the best and most productive ways. We can summarize our results in the following table. Brush removal 3 Interseeding 1,786 Invasives control 437 Prescribed fire 33,876 Prescribed browsing (goats) 137 Woody removal 10,296 Grassland restoration 1,690 TOTAL ACRES 48,431 Originally, this appropriation covered the northwest Roving Crew and added a new, fifth, Roving Crew in west-central Minnesota. The language also included two years of funding for the USFWS's Prescribed Fire program. This was our largest grassland request to date and also the appropriation most affected by Covid. We were unable to hire the west-central Roving Crew in a timely fashion due to state hiring freezes. At the same time, the USFWS received IRA funding and returned their second year of funding. While the DNR was able to put most of these dollars to good use, the acre to dollar ratio for fire is usually much higher compared to hiring contractors for tree removal or similar other enhancements. To use up some of the unspent Roving Crew funds, we moved southeast and southwest Roving Crews to this appropriation for one year. While all of this was happening, we were also trying to transition all the Roving Crews to the stand-alone appropriations. Given those issues, we did not reach our anticipated acreage accomplishment. That said, we still managed to enhance 48,431 acres of grassland. Put another way, that's 75.7 square miles of grassland enhancement, or a strip of habitat 0.3 miles wide stretching from Moorhead to St Paul. The Roving Crews allow the DNR to be very flexible. While they have a list of projects to work on, they can also respond fairly quickly if there's an enhancement opportunity shows up. The DNR and partners continue to host field days each summer to learn about management practices such as prescribed fire, conservation grazing, etc. Finally we were also able to continue experimenting with goat browsing in the SE to control buckthorn. SNA staff will monitor these sites over the coming years. This may provide a way to reduce chemical use and integrate some new and emerging agricultural practices, goats, into habitat management for the benefit of wildlife and the agricultural economy. The DNR has traditionally focused on game species. However, there is increasing interest in pollinators and biodiversity. Fortunately, just about every study out there shows that management and restoration for pollinators and songbirds often creates the best habitat for game species. These projects can also increase the amount of carbon absorbed and stored by the plants and soils on these sites. All of these projects, directly or indirectly, fit within the state's Climate Action Framework and other climate related activities.

The Elk River Watershed is located within the Source Water Protection Area for St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Elk River flows into the Mississippi River approximately 25 miles upstream to the St. Paul and Minneapolis Mississippi River intakes. Therefore, land use activities and decisions within the Elk River Watershed directly influence the quality of the source water arriving at the water intakes of the two cities. The nutrient management Best Management Practices will optimize fertilizer use and reduce nitrogen leaching, thereby reducing the threat of nitrate contamination in groundwater as well. All activities identified will reduce bacteria, turbidity and nutrients which ultimately enter the Mississippi.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (c)","$625,000 each year is for grants to other children’s museums to pay for start-up costs or new exhibit and program development. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Humanities Center must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms. ","MEASURABLE OUTCOMES OF THE GRCM START-UP PROJECT EXHIBITS OUTCOMES Exhibits Plan: Complete the conceptual exhibit plan begun during the Museum Master Plan process. Move forward towards completion with Schematic and Final Development/Design coordinated with professional and consulting services - architects, exhibit designers and fabricators. The outcome will be fabrication and installation plans. The Legacy funds will be used to initiate the design process for the Great River exhibit which will reflect local history, cultural heritage and art connected to our relationship with the Mississippi River. The other exhibit that will be designed using these funds will be the Bridges to the World marketplace for cultural explorations. LEARNING PARTNERSHIPS OUTCOMES Formal and Higher Education: Move beyond the formative and early planning stages to develop potential collaborative arrangements such as co-staffing, student volunteer placements, shared and aligned curriculum, field trips, college student internships or practicums for future educators, joint training or research opportunities across different disciplines-from child development and education, non-profit management to marketing. PARENT-CHILD LEARNING IN A MUSEUM SETTING OUTCOMES Research: Families participating in GRCM events and activities prior to opening will steadily increase in numbers and in demographic range. Observations of interactions during play and feedback from parents and children will inform museum development of exhibits, programming, and practices. COMMUNITY PARTNERS OUTCOMES Beyond St. Cloud Metro: Implement five outreach events using mobile exhibits and activities to introduce the museum and connect with over 50 families in outlying areas to develop a regional audience. Community Organizations, Clubs, Service Groups: Continue to outreach and introduce the museum through presentations off-site or at the museum - in the community room; explore volunteer activities, develop partnering relationships around mutual community interests, secure donations for program development and scholarships for low income families. City of St. Cloud: Participate with Downtown Council, City of St. Cloud and downtown neighbors in mutually beneficial and collaborative way.   Who or what is expected to change as a result of the grant?   EXPECTED TO CHANGE As an emergent museum, the board, committees and planning groups are looking towards the future, when the GRCM building is completed and exhibits installed. Loads of visitors will come through the doors, and leave with smiling faces. GRCM’s guiding vision, established in the Museum Master Plan, “is a welcoming and flourishing Greater St. Cloud where ALL children look forward to a future that offers expanding opportunities”. Anticipated improvements to quality of community life: St. Cloud businesses will see parents and children coming into the downtown area, giving it more vitality and a reputation for being family-friendly. School districts and private schools in the metro and rural areas will have a new partner. Home schooled children will have a new learning resource. St. Cloud will have a new jewel to go along with the relocated and newly built City Hall and other established, major cultural attractions – Great River Regional Library, St. Cloud Civic Center, Paramount, and Pioneer Theatres. GRCM will open its doors for business, becoming a permanent regional attraction and Central Minnesota cultural resource. Our children will be more knowledgeable, become better adults, and have more FUN and JOY! ","The grant partially funded an Executive Director position & Program staff person to coordinate the following outcomes and expand and support our volunteer board and committees. GRCM hired our first museum staff. An Executive Director was hired in July 2020 and has provided leadership in financial management- establishing a new accounting system, financial policies, guiding a successful audit and securing additional funding. The ED has also directed GRCM’s significant progress in facility renovation and exhibit development and coordinated committee work. A Program & Outreach Manager was hired Feb. 2021 and has developed volunteer policies and training. She has also assisted with visiting exhibits and planned activities for community events, and piloted an onsite camp & field trips. Exhibit Design-Legacy funds supported important progress on two exhibits- Bridges and Great Big River- An exhibits committee was created in late 2019 that developed exhibit concepts, reviewed 12 RFPs and selected the Split Rock Studios/Haizlip/KidZibits team for design, fabrication and installation of exhibits that began work in Feb. 2021. They conducted 6 groups- 2 kick-off sessions and four workshops with community members. They completed Schematic Design I in July and SD II in September. This process involved several different community groups in providing input and feedback to these exhibit proposals. Mobile Exhibits- GRCM sponsored 2 visiting exhibits Storyland and Curious George from the Minnesota Children’s Museum that were supported by Legacy funds. These exhibits welcomed over 1,000 people into the museum building and provided preview experiences for families, early childhood and school programs. These experiences allowed GRCM to gain experience with assembling exhibits and establishing a COVID-safe protocols and cleaning routines for exhibit areas. Office Equipment & Supplies supported staff and volunteer activities in the museum building and at community events.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"U of MN","Public College/University","PROJECT OVERVIEW Invasive plants cause considerable ecological and economic damage in Minnesota and their control is often difficult to achieve in a long-term cost-effective manner. Although not immune from invasion, healthy forests may be somewhat resistant to invasion; therefore management aimed at maintaining, restoring, or enhancing key forest characteristics might be a useful strategy for slowing forest invasion. Scientists from the University of Minnesota's Department of Forest Resources will use this appropriation to study 80 different forest sites in order to determine the links between forest attributes and plant invasion. Findings will be used to make recommendations for how to best manage forests to resist invasive species. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The primary project goal was to identify forest characteristics effective as deterrents to invasive plants. Healthy forests are likely more resistant to invaders, so management to enhance these key characteristics might slow the spread of invaders. Invasive plants sometimes form dense thickets that affect recreation and wildlife and exclude native plant species. To determine how various site characteristics affected the abundance of common buckthorn and other invaders, we surveyed plant diversity in 67 sites in central and southern Minnesota. At each site, we measured environmental characteristics to simultaneously account for other factors that might influence invasibility. Buckthorn was most abundant in sites with sparse leaf litter, where seed availability was high, and where native plant diversity was low. Both a greenhouse experiment and a second field study indicated that introduced earthworms also benefit germinating invasive plants by eliminating leaf litter. We propose the idea of ""preventive environmental care"" that, like preventative medicine, manages forests to maintain ""wellness"". Although not a panacea for reducing invasion, it is worth considering given the challenges of controlling established invasive species. We suggest managers enhance the competitive challenge to invaders by increasing the diversity of native species by seeding natives and/or reducing the density of white-tailed deer, a species that severely impacts native forest plants. Furthermore, timber harvests should be limited to the winter season and trail maintenance should be done in a way that limits disturbance. This will help maintain intact native understory plants and litter layers, important deterrents to invasive plant establishment. However, none of these approaches are likely to be successful without a strong effort to control landscape level seed availability. Collaborative management with neighboring landowners is crucial to any effort that hopes to reduce invasibility. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION To summarize results from the project and provide guidelines for management, we prepared a pamphlet that included all aspects of the research, as it pertains to the invasion of buckthorn. The pamphlet also provides suggestions for pre-invasion management to reduce invasibility, the main focus of the ""Healthy Forests"" research project. We distributed the pamphlet to all participants at a symposium held on August 14, 2013. The pamphlet is available as a pdf from the project website, http://forestecology.cfans.umn.edu/Research/Buckthorn/index.htm. We presented talks at the Upper Midwest Invasive Species conference (a regional meeting focused on invasive species) and the Ecological Society of America conference (an international conference focusing on all aspects of ecology) in 2012 and 2013. The talks focused on measuring propagule pressure, the greenhouse study, the relationship between earthworm and buckthorn buckthorn, and the effects of native species diversity on buckthorn abundance. On August 14, we hosted a symposium on the St. Paul campus that brought together managers, researchers, and private landowners to share the latest information on invasive plants in Minnesota forests. In addition to talks based on this LCCMR project, other speakers presented information about buckthorn invasion on the prairie-forest border in west central Minnesota, garlic mustard (another common plant invader in Minnesota's forests) as a driver of species invasion, management of buckthorn from a forester's perspective, and management efforts to control other common invasive plants. The symposium was attended by 100 people. The project website has links to recordings of all the symposium talks, as well as links to the MS Access database, species lists from all survey sites, and a photo gallery. We have published one paper (""Community phylogenetic diversity and abiotic site characteristics influence abundance of the invasive plant Rhamnus cathartica L."") in the Journal of Plant Ecology. A second paper based on results from our greenhouse experiment (Native plant diversity and introduced earthworms have contrasting effects on the success of invasive plants"") has been submitted to the peer-reviewed journal Biological Invasions. More papers are in preparation including one focusing on propagule pressure and another that documents the relationship between earthworms and buckthorn abundance.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Peter,Reich,"U of MN","220f Green Hall, Upper Buford Circle","St. Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 624-4270",preich@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,"Le Sueur, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Mower, Nicollet, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Roseau, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, St. Louis, Steele, Todd, Wabasha, Wadena, Waseca, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/healthy-forests-resist-invasion,,,,

10007359,"Investigating the Cultural Geography of St. Cloud State University",2017,9000,,,"Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org","Short Term 1. A sizeable database of primary objects in University Archives at St. Cloud State University and Stearns History Museum. a.The main Excel workbook for this project included as of 12/15/2017 i.650 lines of data ii.Still Images: 405 lines representing more than 3,805 images 1.1 album, 3 books, 2 boxes, 80 folders, 320 objects iii.Text: 188 lines representing more than 843 documents 1.4 collections, 44 folders, 133 objects iv.Maps: 57 lines representing 87 maps 1.2 collections, 55 objects v.We easily met our goal of a 'sizeable' database of objects or collections of objects that begin to tell the story of the changing land use of St. Cloud State University. However, we spent twice as much time than anticipated to create this database. b.Rengel created a secondary workbook to track the addresses of the homes and lots within the North Campus and South Campus and to track the various campus buildings and businesses on the campus. (The East Campus area apparently never had homes on it or structures other than those related to campus facilities.) This secondary spreadsheet, though in rough draft form, begins to shape by street address the built environment that became the campus. Data here could help create metadata based upon address, in addition to the geographic information in the main spreadsheet. 2. Increased knowledge and understanding of the cultural forces that shaped the choices of buildings and structures that would become St. Cloud State. a.Through the act of reviewing so many collections within the St. Cloud State University Archives and Stearns History Museum, through questions shared and answered, or at least raised, between Ms. Rengel and the staff members at these two organizations, through attempts by all to identify contents of photos, to compare photos to maps to documents, the knowledge at both locations has expanded significantly. Awareness has grown significantly. One challenge, though is the transfer of much of this knowledge from the researcher to the permanent staff and the presentation of information to benefit researchers in the future. b.The project clearly led to a significantly increased knowledge about what happened. Much more work is needed to explain why people made the decisions they did over the years. i.An example: Looking at the Curtis Survey of this area, which was done in 1855, 14 years before the state's third normal school opened in St. Cloud in 1869, might lead one to believe that the neighborhood was already a grid, with graded streets and avenues meeting at right angles and clearly defined lots. But looking at the 1902 photograph of the block that would become home to the Performing Arts Center, taken by the Minneapolis Tribune, one can see only the beginnings of that grid system, with streets not yet created and land spreading off into the distance where homes will eventually be built. ii.Another example: Photographs and Sanborn Insurance maps show what appear to be single-family homes. But comparison to information in campus directories and even reviewing the Talahi yearbooks, tells the story that many houses were used, as early as the 1880s and 1890s, as student housing, some filled only with students, some where a student lived in the home with a family. Eventually, St. Cloud State would own apartment buildings on the campus where once stood homes that provided rooms to students. Intermediate Outcomes: There are four intermediate measurable outcomes to this project. 1. The vastly increased knowledge of staff at University Archives and Stearns History Museum of the information in their collections related to the St. Cloud State University campus. Rengel intends to put her increased knowledge to work on behalf of both organizations by: a. Conducting an MDL digitization project for maps in the John D. Morgan collection at University Archives. b.Conducting an MDL digitization project of rare photographs in University Archives and the Stearns History Museum's collection. 1.Earliest photographs in both collections 2.Work of photographer E.S. Hill c.Conducting a collaborative digitization project of photographs within both collections of several of the campus areas identified in this project. 1.St. Cloud Water, Power and Mill Co's Subdivision 2.First Avenue South 2. The number of ideas for projects built upon this work a.University Archives graduate student assistant Kayla Stielow, who began work in archives in August as an intern and a student assistant as this Cultural Geography project was underway, will use the data from Ms. Rengel's research to investigate the expansion and change of St. Cloud State overtime to develop a narrative of the campus's history. Her project is part of St. Cloud State's sesquicentennial celebration. We anticipate this work will also inform at least two classes, one graduate and another undergraduate, as they investigate the history of St. Cloud State that will also inform the sesquicentennial, too. b.Slide shows on the significant areas of campus. i.Hockey ii.Miller Center iii.Education Building iv.The Original Campus: Between the Mississippi River and 1st Avenue v.Stores, restaurants, churches on this land vi.Before the grid: the land before square blocks with streets and avenues became the norm c.An Aerial Time Machine --- using digitized aerial photographs, and/or digitizing aerial photographs to present a flying tour of campus over time. i.As if a helicopter were hovering over the south end of the main campus and time flashed by in the cockpit window ii.OR, as if the helicopter were circling campus and the years changed with each circle. d.Speculation -- What if the plans that weren't chosen had come to pass? ' An image-based project to show what might have been. e.Digital 'Flip Book' of campus maps to show growth. f.An in-depth investigation of St. Cloud city directories for other uses of the land and the buildings, such as churches, lunch counters, office space, etc. 3. A list of some collections and organizations that merit further investigation: a.Collections at the St. Cloud State University Archives. i.Chronicle student newspaper ' Because the information is easily accessible, and often secondary, we chose early on not to do in-depth research into this publication right now. While we did include photographs and articles when we encountered them, we left a deeper exploration for a later date. ii.University Communications (Information Services) press release collection ' We included some press releases as we came across them in the research and discovered that the press release collection could provide additional information. It deserves a thorough review. iii.Oral Histories ' Time did not permit us to investigate the data in oral histories, nor the few oral histories within the collections. Doing so would add interpretation and perspective to the facts of the land use information. iv.Minutes of the governing bodies for St. Cloud State, including the Normal School Board, the State Teachers College Board, the State College Board and the State University Board. While essentially secondary resources, these minutes often contain the only surviving information on the development of the campus, particularly in the early years. Additionally, they often provide clues and leads for further investigation. v.Minnesota legislation ' We see potential for investigating legislative records for laws critical to the development of the campus, such as Amendment 2 to the Minnesota Constitution, passed in the early 1960s, which eliminated a debt limit and allowed borrowing for building and capital improvements. Much of the work of campus development was done in coordination with Minnesota state agencies and was governed by legislative approval. vi.We focused our work on primary sources, photographs, maps and documents older than 1970. We would expand our information to include materials created since 1970. b.Collections at Stearns History Museum i.Myron Hall, long-time photographer to the St. Cloud Times, contributed his extensive collection of negatives and prints to the Stearns History Museum. This treasure trove needs much preservation and cataloging work to preserve and mine all of the valuable information in it. Once that cataloging is done, it will provide priceless resources on the cultural geography, at least from the late 1930s through the early 1970s. ii.St. Cloud city directories. This collection could provide land use information, to capture the flow from undeveloped prairie and woods to neighborhoods to campus buildings. While the city directories helped Rengel identify photographs of homes in the geographic areas under examination, she did not take the time to delve into them as deeply as she would have liked, once she realized their value. iii.Frank Jackson & Associates collection ' We included reference to this architectural firm's collection in the spreadsheet but did not have time to investigate the materials. Such an investigation could prove extremely valuable for capturing the discussions of how and why the buildings Jackson created for the campus took the shapes they did and were situated in the community as they were. iv.Additional collections ' Stearns History Museum is in the midst of a Cultural Heritage grant project of their own to inventory collections. The database they are creating pointed us in directions for our cultural geography project and following up on the collections Stearns has been identifying will provide us with excellent resources and information. v.St. Cloud newspapers ' Stearns History Museum and St. Cloud State University Library each has extensive microfilm collections of St. Clouds newspapers. Stearns History Museum has formed the basis of much of their public-facing resources on these newspapers and staff experience with St. Cloud's newspapers would suggest that work within these collections be conducted there. Additionally, using the Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub through the Minnesota Historical Society for very early St. Cloud newspapers would expedite research within these publications. c.Other organizations i.City of St. Cloud's 'SCGIS: Interactive Mapping Tool,' (http://stcloudcity.com/link/jsfe/) ' This is database provided primary information on the current land-use, zoning codes, building values, etc. Information could be harvested as needed on vacated streets and alleys, original survey information, and coordinates for geographical information. It is, however, limited to modern land uses, but would provide an interesting starting point for creating GIS information for buildings that used to occupy this land. ii.City of St. Cloud offices ' There are likely records in the city offices, particularly the planning office, that relate to the development of the St. Cloud State campus. iii.County Recorder, Stearns County ' As the keeper of all deed information, it would be valuable to visit the County Recorder's office. Staff at Stearns History Museum are aware of documents there worth investigation. Also, we expect there are specifics records there that would track back to the beginnings of the county and the city. iv.County Recorder, Sherburne County ' Only Selke Field and Brainard Hall, which we have designated as the East Campus, are located in Sherburne County, but it may be interesting to at least visit this county's recorder office to capture early deed information. Should this project expand to include the Talahi Woods and the quarry lands near the Minnesota Correctional Facility (Reformatory) known as George Friedrich Park, Sherburne County Recorder's office would provide valuable information. v.Minnesota Historical Society ' We recognize that deeper research within the collections at the state historical society will help us flesh out details of the cultural geography of St. Cloud State, particularly records that pre-date the formation of the third normal school in 1869. 4.An article for Stearns History Museum's 'Crossings' magazine, which Rengel will write, that focuses on the personal story behind her search for information in University Archives and at Stearns on the neighborhood of her childhood, her father's college years, and the town she calls home. Long-term Long lasting results of this research include but are not limited to 1.Increased communication between the St. Cloud State University Archives and the Stearns History Museum on resources in the two collections that tell the story of St. Cloud State University. 2.Increased knowledge at the staff level of the cultural geography of this land. 3.Understanding of the interrelated nature of the collections in preserving and using the information in the collections to tell the story of campus. 4.Establishing a format and method for searching for and the presenting information on the materials in the collections. 5.Inspiration. This project showed us what dedicating a person's time to the work of exploring the collections can yield. The grant funding provided us with the opportunity to deeply explore collections at the repositories and to pull together in one online resource the results of that exploration. a.This work, in essence, allowed us to remove the silo walls that separated the collections at two repositories and to combine them, at least within the scope of the cultural geography of St. Cloud State, into one whole picture of the 150-years of change upon this land. The work of this project strives to point researchers to resources that can help them understand and share answers to the questions 'How and why did we become who and what we are?' Answering those questions is extremely challenging, especially for people who are the beneficiaries of the work of earlier generations. Soon the goals, the values, the promises of one generation get lost in time as projects move forward, advancing, shifting, retreating as forces of the day demand. The answers to 'How' and 'Why' are often answers of the moment. The work of this Cultural Geography project aims to show where at the St. Cloud State University Archives and Stearns History Museum those answers are preserved and to lead researchers to the maps, photographs, and documents that will help them answer the questions of 'how' and 'why.'",,2512,"Available upon request.

The number of irrigation permits is currently at an all-time high. Water management and nitrogen fertilizer strategies must be managed together. Many farmers, particularly those newly implementing irrigation, would benefit from increased education on irrigation and nitrogen best management practices (BMPs). The absence of an Irrigation Specialist was identified as a critical need by the irrigation community and other ag stakeholders.

","Ka Joog and AADA propose to measure qualitative and quantitative outcomes for each goal as follows: Goal 1: Somali American youth build their knowledge of traditional Somali art forms and increase their capacity to use Somali arts as a communication tool Outcomes of Goal 1: 20-25 Somali American youth participate in monthly art clubs 100 Somali American youth use Somali art to present their ideas in a public forum 90% or more of youth participants self-report an increase in knowledge of Somali art after participating in workshops To assess whether these activities achieve their intended impact, AADA and Ka Joog will use post-art club surveys distributed to participating students and artists to help us determine how we can continuously improve our approach and instruction quality. Learning from art clubs will culminate in public presentations, implemented quarterly. At the conclusion of each presentation, we will request youth and participating artists to self-assess what they learned, how they have grown, and what support they would like Ka Joog and AADA to offer to deepen their learning and enhance their practical application of their new artistic skills.   Goal 2: Public presentations change community perceptions and increase dialogue within the Somali American community in the Twin Cities and Moorhead.

Given the various emerging markets for woody biomass, a unique opportunity has been identified. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will use this appropriation to continue development of an innovative approach to improving lands by harvesting ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation and working with local markets to turn the resulting biomass into marketable products such as mulch, animal bedding, firewood, and wood pellets for energy generation. Funds raised from the sale of these products could then be used to expand this type of model into other areas of Minnesota. In addition to helping stimulate local economies, benefits of this approach also include enhanced biodiversity and effective utilization of woody material traditionally burned or landfilled. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This innovative project helped restore 385 acres of critical habitat and high quality native plant communities by removing ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation (exotic and/or native species) while stimulating local economies through jobs and strategic utilization of the biomass material for bioenergy and other products. This project facilitated habitat restoration efforts that might not have otherwise occurred while making the woody material, traditionally burned or landfilled, available to established and emerging woody biomass markets. Of the $600,000 appropriation, $490,666 was spent on eleven projects. Seven non-DNR public and private landowners received a total of $324,530 granted through a competitive process. Four DNR projects received a total of $166,136. A variety of types of projects (based on restoration goals, species/type of woody biomass material, density, distance, land ownership, utilization opportunity, etc.) were completed. Projects were selected based on critical requirements including ecological value and recovery potential of the project site, current ecologically-based management plan, project-specific harvest plan, post-harvest restoration plan, and demonstrated capacity and long-term commitment to effectively manage the site to achieve and maintain restoration goals. Viable markets were identified prior to project implementation. Utilization of the woody biomass resulted in 291 semi-truck loads or 5,280 tons for bioenergy, 242 semi-truck loads of commercial mulch, 450 cords of pine sawlogs, 6 log loads of cottonwood for pallets, and pine cabin logs. Biomass material was either sold separately from the harvest with revenue collected, or in conjunction with the harvest where contractors valued the material (deducted from the harvest bid) and were responsible for final utilization. Revenues collected ($11,100) and values attributed ($4,000) were reinvested for further purposes of the project. This project demonstrated that there are opportunities to sell or properly utilize ecologically inappropriate woody vegetation removed through habitat restoration activities. The long-term vision for this effort is to achieve an ecologically sound and systematic approach that addresses: current and future issues of habitat restoration and enhancement; renewable energy and climate change; invasive species, and natural resources conservation planning and implementation - all of which are effected, to some degree, by the impacts and opportunities of woody biomass. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The webpage ""Linking Habitat Restoration to Bioenergy and Local Economies"" located at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/habitat_biomass.htmlprovides an overview of the entire project, the project fact sheet, the LCCMR-approved Work Program, and the final report. Project data were compiled and regularly updated for the DNR's Grant Outcomes webpage to provide project descriptions, funding information, indicators, targets and outcomes information. The website is located at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/outcomes/index.html. Project information was shared at public workshops, conferences and meetings through formal presentations, panel discussions, informal conversations and handouts, such as the project fact sheet and other printed materials, targeted for the audience. Project information was also shared with DNR staff through staff meetings, project coordination, formal presentations, and informal discussions. Telephone conversations and meetings were convened with land managers/owners, harvest contractors, and biomass market industry representatives to discuss the project, garner insights for improvements to implementing this project, identify challenges and opportunities to move this effort forward and to facilitate connections between landowners, contractors, and biomass end-users.The key messages were:For land managers/owners conducting habitat restoration projects: explore and implement the option to utilize the biomass material removed versus piling and burning or landfilling;For contractors: provide the combined service of harvest and utilization of the material; andFor end-users: acknowledge habitat restoration projects as a potential significant source of material and to seek this opportunity.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Barb,Spears,DNR,"1200 Warner Rd","St. Paul",MN,55106,"(651) 259-5849",barb.spears@dnr.state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Dodge, Goodhue, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Le Sueur, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Nicollet, Olmsted, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/linking-habitat-restoration-bioenergy-and-local-economies,,,,

Water control structures are used for temporary water level draw-downs to rejuvenate shallow lake ecology and productivity for wildlife. Restoration work and structures are constructed by private sector firms hired by DU and are managed by FWS/DNR. Adjacent grasslands may be enhanced with tree removal. Shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration are top priority actions in all major conservation plans for Minnesota. Our work addresses the habitat goals identified in North American Waterfowl Management Plan, Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan, and Minnesota's Duck Recovery Plan which calls for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and restoring 64,000 wetlands to Minnesota's landscape.

Healthy and abundant wetlands are required to sustain breeding and migrating waterfowl. Minnesota has lost approximately 90% of our prairie wetlands and 99% of native prairie grasslands around them. This has had a profound negative impact on breeding ducks and other prairie wetland wildlife here. Our remaining shallow lakes and wetlands are often those that were too deep to drain years ago, and now function as the core of Minnesota's remaining waterfowl habitat complexes. Unfortunately, these remaining wetland basins now receive the excessive nutrient-laden water runoff from an intensively drained and interconnected landscape through which invasive fish such as carp have improved access. As a result, many of our remaining wetlands and shallow lakes are turbid and degraded due to drainage they received and high, stabilized water levels in which nutrients collect and invasive fish proliferate. This results in stagnated aquatic wetland ecology and productivity, and wetland basins with few aquatic plants and invertebrates for birds to eat. This is especially detrimental to diving ducks and other wetland-dependent species that rely exclusively on aquatic plant and invertebrate foods within wetlands and shallow lakes to survive. These factors have caused a significant decline in Minnesota's once diverse waterfowl population, and as a result, in Minnesota's rich waterfowling traditions. This funding request will support DU staff biologists and engineers who survey, design, and manage construction of shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects to improve public water shallow lakes and restore wetlands and grasslands, primarily in the Prairie Pothole Region of SW Minnesota.

First, 80 acres were acquired (36.7 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA. The addition contains native oak savanna and prairie and increases this SNA to 267 acres. Thus, more than half of this largest remaining prairie complex in Dakota County is protected for its 13 resident rare species (including 3 snake and 2 butterfly species) and for public use, including hiking and nature observation. Second, about 70 acres - including public fishing frontage on the Credit River - was acquired (6.2 acres pro-rated to this appropriation) and added to the Savage Fen SNA in Scott County. These sites offer urban residents close-to-home nature-based recreation, including a new archery hunting opportunity on 300 acres at Savage Fen SNA. SNA restoration and enhancement activities were completed on 187 acres at 13 SNAs in 7 counties in the greater metropolitan area. For example, a 55-acre prairie was reconstructed (restored) at Lost Valley Prairie SNA with the help of volunteers and a Sentence-to-Serve crew using seed collected on site by hand and mechanically harvested by the SNA crew. Almost 100 acres was prescribed burned at 5 SNAs. About 34 acres received invasive species control actions, including work by Conservation Corps Minnesota. These activities result in better habitat for the SNAs' rare features and improved quality for users of SNAs. Project Results Use and Dissemination Information about Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) sites, including those SNAs with new acquisition, restoration, enhancement and development activities through this appropriation, is available on the DNR website (www.mndnr.gov/snas). DNR-sponsored volunteer events, such as those involved in the Lost Valley Prairie, are regularly posted at: www.dnr.state.mn.us/volunteering/sna/index. Both of the acquisition projects received publicity in local newspapers and in partner organization newsletters. Specifically, Savage Fen SNA acquisition was publicized in the Shakopee Valley News and in the Trust for Public Land's electronic newsletter and electronic invite. The Hastings Sand Coulee SNA acquisition was referenced in articles in the Hastings Gazette and the Friends of the Mississippi River website.

Eight perpetual conservation easements were completed that collectively protect 765 acres of land and more than 13,000 feet of shoreline. Three easements were purchased, and the remaining five easements were donated. While two of the purchased easements used both 2009 and 2010 ENRTF funding, we are reporting the accomplishments as part of our 2009 report. We will not report these acres in future 2010 reports to avoid double-counting. All eight projects represent unique opportunities to protect high quality natural habitat, riparian areas, and to build upon prior land protection work by the Land Trust at several priority sites. The specific project sites of the conservation easements include: 45 acres, including 1,095 feet of shoreline, along Deer Lake in Anoka County (purchased using both ML 2009 and ML 2010 ENRTF appropriations); 148 acres, including 2,527 feet of shoreline, along Elk River in Sherburne County (donated); 44 acres, including 3,065 feet of shoreline, on Kingswood Pond in Hennepin County (purchased using both ML 2009 and ML 2010 ENRTF appropriations); 157 acres near Hardwood Creek in Washington County (donated); 5 acres in Scandia in Washington County (donated); 126 acres near the headwaters of Valley Creek in Washington County (donated); 39 acres adjacent to Wild River State Park in Chisago County (purchased using ML 2009 ENRTF appropriation only); 201 acres near Baypoint Park in Goodhue County (donated). Additionally, the Land Trust prepared baseline property reports for each easement, detailing the condition of the property for future monitoring and enforcement. To fund this required perpetual obligation, the Land Trust dedicated ENRTF and other funds to its segregated Stewardship and Enforcement Fund for all completed projects. We estimated the anticipated annual expenses of each project and the investment needed to generate annual income sufficient to cover these expenses in perpetuity - all in accordance with our internal policies and procedures as approved by LCCMR. We will report to LCCMR annually on the status of the Stewardship and Enforcement Fund and the easements acquired with funds from this grant. Values are known for only five of the eight easements acquired, and this value totals $854,500, with a known donated value of $413,500. The cost to the State of Minnesota to complete these projects was just over $326 per acre. Cumulatively, across phases I-V of the Metro Corridors program, the Land Trust has protected 3,298 acres of critical habitat and more than 75,000 feet of shoreline, at a cost to the State of $520 per acre. The Minnesota Land Trust's work on this project continues to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of working with conservation easements to protect natural and scenic resources within developed and developing areas, as the cost to the State was well below the cost to purchase land in the Twin Cities region. This grant continued to generate interest among landowners, and therefore, ongoing funding will be important to sustained success. Additionally, our experiences during this phase of the grant continue to indicate that funds to purchase easements, as opposed to obtaining donated easements, will be necessary in the future as work becomes more targeted, selective, and focused on building complexes of protected land. Project Results Use and Dissemination The Minnesota Land Trust disseminated information about the specific land protection projects completed under this grant though our newsletter, email updates, web site, and press releases. The Land Trust also shared information about conservation easements generally and our experience with our partner organizations, other easement holders, local communities, as well as policy makers including members of the LCCMR and L-SOHC.

To that end, it is critical to train new staff, create modeling protocols for new BMPs, refine and calibrate models, and test ever-advancing modeling applications. The Metro Conservation District's (MCD) Sub-Watershed Analysis (SWA) program provides these capacity-building services and unites efforts across 11 SWCDs. Funding is requested to continue and evolve the SWA program. Recent success illustrates the adaptive nature of this program. WinSLAMM has been employed in urban landscapes to function beyond its design intent by modeling the benefits to receiving water bodies of practices such as iron enhanced sand filters and hydrodynamic separators. Adapted methods are shared among SWCD staff. Efforts are currently underway by metro SWCDs to apply modeling applications such as SWAT to rural landscapes. Although SWAT was not developed to model BMP efficacy, methodologies are rapidly being developed to model practices such as sediment basins, seasonal ponding and tile inlet modifications. The SWA program has had quantifiable impact on water quality improvement efforts. During the first 36 months of funding, this process resulted in 63 analyses that are completed or underway and identified over 4,000 site specific BMPs.

Additional information, photos and site maps are provided in attachments about each project accomplished. Friends of Mississippi River (FMR) enhanced forest and prairie habitat on 54 acres in Dakota and Washington Counties. These sites are situated within the Mississippi River corridor and provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife. Over 320 species of birds use the corridor for spring and fall migration, and need stopover sites like these two natural areas for refueling. In addition, with populations of pollinator species declining, there is need to  increase the quality and quantity of pollinator-friendly habitat, even with small habitat patches, to prevent further declines. These sites are also near or adjacent to other protected natural areas, adding important benefits of habitat linkages for wildlife. FMR’s work included $31,400 in leverage funds and in-kind support from local partners and high school students to complete the following activities: ·       Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park - FMR enhanced 35 acres of oak forest, 3 acres of remnant bluff prairie, and 1 acre of prairie at this natural area in Cottage Grove. Activities included forestry mowing and hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation, foliar treatments for re-sprouting stems, broadcasting native seed and conducting prescribed burns.  ·       Vermillion Linear Park - FMR enhanced 6 acres of riparian forest and 9 acres of prairie at this natural area on the Vermillion River in Hastings. Activities included hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation across the entire project area, foliar treatments for re-sprouting woody stems and herbaceous invasives, broadcasting native seed, and planting native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and sedges. Additional prairie-specific activities included grassland prep (sprays, burn, tilling, and harrowing), native seeding, mowing, spot treatments and a prescribed burn.  Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 76 acres total in Anoka and Ramsey Counties (66 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $131,950 helped GRG restore 32 acres of prairie, enhance another 5 acres prairie and enhance 39 acres forest, as follows:    ·       Martins Meadows - GRG enhanced 39 acres of forest habitat on this City of Andover Open Space site situated  on the Rum River (29 acres were proposed).  Activities included removal of woody invasives (common buckthorn, honeysuckle, amur maple), tree thinning, woody encroachment removal, mowing, seeding and planting.  The improved habitat will benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, blanding’s turtle and gopher snake, all of which have documented occurrences just up and down stream of the site. ·       Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary (Trillium Nature Preserve) - This former rail yard on St Paul’s east side was transformed through a major restoration effort into a new naturalized area that reflects its original state.  Over the course of the project, 32 acres were restored to prairie and an additional 5 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasives removal.  Activities included mowing, herbicide application, tree thinning, tree planting and prairie seeding. The restoration of this site presented unique challenges because removal of contaminated soil required use of heavy equipment, thereby compacting the soils and requiring additional seeding preparation work to establish vegetation. The nature sanctuary is a refuge for wildlife in an otherwise urban complex.  It also offers residents who are otherwise underserved in this part of St Paul access to natural space and wildlife. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its goals by closing on two perpetual conservation easements within the St. Croix River corridor in Washington County. In total, 131 acres of high-quality habitat were protected by permanent easement under MBR 4, surpassing the 120-acre goal. MLT leveraged $637,000 in donated value across both easement acquisitions, a 2:1 ratio relative to acquisition funding provided by the OHF grant. The two properties protected under permanent conservation easements are:   ·       Old Mill Stream (Kingston) -- This 44-acre easement protects high-quality wetlands, forest and grasslands along 5,920 feet of Old Mill Stream, a state-designated trout stream in Washington County with a viable population of brook trout. The easement is abutted by William O’Brien State Park on three sides.

GRG conducted enhancement activities on 69 acres (10 acres were originally proposed), as follows: •Crosby Park: 52 acres of habitat were enhanced through woody invasive species eradication within floodplain forest and installation of practices to address erosion impacting Crosby Lake. The project is complete and exceeds the proposed acreage goals. •Seminary Fen SNA: Supplemental funding from this grant was used to complete the full spectrum of enhancement activities at Seminary Fen SNA initiated under the Metro Big Rivers Phase 1 grant. Invasive species management was conducted across 1 acre of the fen through prescribed fire. The project is complete. •Savage Fen SNA: Supplemental funding from this grant was used to complete the full spectrum of enhancement activities at Seminary Fen SNA initiated under the Metro Big Rivers Phase 1 grant. Invasive species management was conducted across 1 acre of the fen through prescribed fire. The project is complete. •Fish Creek Open Space: Forest enhancement work was completed through the removal invasive woody species over 10 acres of a grassland portion of the forest mosaic. We have released oaks, and removed planted pines and overabundant box elder. The project – as funded through this grant – is complete, but additional activity funded through MBR Phase 3 continues at this site. •Springbrook Nature Center: Extensive woody invasive species control and forest thinning was completed across 5 acres of oak woodland and savanna habitat at the site. The project is – as funded through this grant – is complete, but additional activity funded through MBR Phase 3 continues at this site. Additional matching funds leveraged for the project includes gifts from the 3M Foundation, Xcel Foundation, Brookfield Renewable, and Buuck Family Foundation. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its target acres significantly. The original target was 300 acres, but MLT was able to complete three easements on 654 acres with the grant, thanks to significant donations of value by landowners. MLT also protected a total of approximately 10,999 linear feet of shoreline along rivers, lakes and ponds. The following easements were completed with the MBR 2 grant: •The 80-acre Sherburne Hardwoods (Anderson) tract, located in Becker Township in Sherburne County, is adjacent to the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge and is in an area designated as a state Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society. The property consists of approximately 48 acres of deciduous forest, 30 acres of grassland, and 2 acres of wetland. The landowner is currently in the process of restoring the grasslands and the wetlands on the property. The forest, wetland, and grassland habitats contained within the property provide habitat for a variety of species in greatest conservation need, including bald eagle, American woodcock, and whip-poor-will. •26 acres at the confluence of the Mississippi and Elk Rivers with 2,591 feet of shoreline along the Elk River and 493 feet of shoreline along the Mississippi River, a state Wild and Scenic River and state water trail. •548 acres of forest, wetlands, grasslands and open water on Stickney Lake in Sherburne County, approximately 3 miles northwest of Clear Lake, Minnesota. This easement includes approximately 2,400 feet of shoreline on Stickney Lake (a shallow lake) and approximately 5,515 feet of shoreline on unnamed ponds. These natural features provide key habitats for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need, including the northern pintail and the sharp-tailed grouse. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed fee title acquisition on 444 acres of priority habitat for the Blakely Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Of the 444 acres, 384 acres were acquired with the Outdoor Heritage Fund grant through Metro Big Rivers Phase 2. The other 60 acres were acquired with other, non-state funds. Trust for Public Land (TPL) completed fee title acquisition of 335 acres of land with over a mile of Mississippi River shoreline at the confluence of the Elk and Mississippi Rivers on December 16, 2014. This acquisition was completed with the balance of TPL’s Phase 2 grant and part of its Phase 3 grant. The land provides habitat for a variety of species and the shoreline affords access to an excellent smallmouth bass fishery. The property was conveyed to the City of Elk River to be managed in a manner similar to a state Wildlife Management Area. Public hunting and fishing will be allowed according to DNR guidelines. TPL also completed fee title acquisition on 128 acres of the Blakely Bluffs area for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Houlton Conservation Area (70 acres were proposed). This forest enhancement project at the confluence of the Elk and Mississippi Rivers in Sherburne County was on part of the land acquired with OHF funds by the Trust for Public Land (MBR Phases 2 and 3 / ML 2011 and 2012). A total of 90 acres were enhanced (exceeding the goal of 70 acres) through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing, multiple herbicide treatments and native woodland grass and sedge seeding. These efforts dramatically transformed this site, which initially had such a dense sub-canopy of buckthorn that it prevented the regeneration of most other shrubs and trees. OHF funds were leveraged with $34,595 in other funds.  FMR is restoring and enhancing other parts of the Houlton Conservation Area through MBR phases 7 (restoration of 180 acre agricultural field) and MBR 8 (enhancement of 80 acres forest).     Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 187 acres total in Carver, Dakota, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties (159 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $179,000 helped GRG enhance 30 acres of prairie and 157 acres, as follows:  •  Alimagnet Park - This forest enhancement project in Dakota County is complete and deliverables were met. A total of 20 acres of forest were enhanced through selective timber harvest, cutting of woody invasives, and multiple herbicide treatments on buckthorn and other invasive species. •  Carver Park Preserve - Goals were exceeded on this forest enhancement project in Carver County. A total of 90 acres of forest were enhanced (exceeding the goal by 20 acres) through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing, herbicide applications and prescribed burning.   •  Pond Dakota Mission Park & Minnesota River Valley (City of Bloomington property) - This project along the Minnesota River in Hennepin County concluded in the spring of 2018 after crews completed a selective thinning of the forest canopy and removal of exotic tree and shrub species (buckthorn and honeysuckle).  Large material was hauled out of the valley while smaller material was piled and burned.  Over the course of the project, 22 acres were enhanced.   •  Terrace Oak Park - This forest enhancement project in Dakota County is complete and deliverables were met. A total of 19 acres of forest were enhanced through woody invasive species management, including forestry mowing and multiple herbicide treatments.   •  Trout Brook Nature Preserve - This prairie enhancement project in the Trout Brook Greenway in St. Paul was completed at the end of September 2017 and deliverables were met. 30 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasive species removal, prairie establishment maintenance, woodland tree and shrub planting, and prairie pollinator nursery plot plantings.   The Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) added 32.4 acres to the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge through two high-priority fee title acquisitions. Both parcels are adjacent to the Refuge and a DNR Wildlife Management Area that is managed by the USFWS.   These acquisitions protected significant oak savanna, remnant prairie, oak basswood forest and seasonal ephemeral wetlands from residential development. An initial BioBlitz in 2018 identified more than 200 species, including the endangered Henslow’s Sparrow, Bloodroot, Pasqueflower, Kittentail (a state threatened species), Buffalo Bean, Bergamot and Common, Whorled and Green Milkweeds. Bur Oaks with wide branching limbs are indicative of historic oak savanna.   The OHF grant of $600,000 was leveraged with (1) $679,863 in other, private funds to complete the 20.56-acre acquisition and (2) $449,345 in other, private funds to acquire the 11.83-acre parcel. Total leverage was $1,129,208.   Habitat restoration and enhancement will include removal of invasive woody species, seeding the former building sites and prescribed fire. After restoration, the property will be transferred to the USFWS and opened to the public for hunting and other wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities. The Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) and its partner, Washington County, were not successful in securing a conservation easement on property owned by the Manitou Fund at Terrapin Lake in Washington County. Discussions with the landowner took a step backward in fall 2017, prompting all parties to look for alternative ways to realize the mutual desires of ensuring long-term conservation of this important resource. In early 2018, the landowner approached MLT and Washington County with renewed interest but backed away again from the project. All of the funding through this grant to MLT was earmarked for this high-priority project. With the project not being finalized, we were unable to secure any deliverables for the grant and returned the majority of funding to the State.   The Trust for Public Land (TPL) was unable to spend most of this appropriation, as the owners of the prospective 194-acre addition to Bayport WMA unexpectedly changed their minds and signed a contract to sell the land to a developer. $20,000 in DNR Land Acquisition Costs was released to the DNR for their appraisal and administrative costs related to this project.

The restoration provides critical habitat for resident and migrant birds (including five SGCNs surveyed post-restoration), native pollinators, and mammals. The sites are partially located in the high potential zone for Rusty Patched bumblebee. Post-restoration surveys documented increases in pollinator abundance and diversity. GRG worked on public conservation lands to improve habitat values for wildlife and SGCN, including birds using the Mississippi River migratory corridor and pollinators. Work restored and enhanced riverine, forest, oak savanna, prairie, and wetland habitat at seven conservation sites. MLT prevented fragmentation around lakes experiencing development pressure (Pickerel and Fish Lakes), as well as areas of biological significance (Medvecky Woods). MLT conservation easements also protected two miles of shoreline and associated riparian habitat on Pickerel, Fish, and Oak Lakes. Over six bird species designated as SGCN have been identified on the Oak Lake conservation easement alone.

Working with SNA staff, FMR enhanced 175 acres of forest and 40 acres of bluffland prairie at Pine Bend Bluffs SNA. At the Hastings Sand Coulee SNA, FMR enhanced 70 acres of forest and 80 acres of prairie. Forest acres were enhanced through invasive woody removal, including by both forestry mowing and cut-and-paint removal, with two years of follow-up treatments. Prairie acres including 87 acres of native remnant prairie were enhanced through a combination of activities including herbaceous and woody species removal, seeding, and prescribed burns. Volunteers participated in the enhancement through yearly invasive removal and seed collection events. Great River Greening (GRG) completed its work under this grant, restoring and enhancing 95 acres of prairie and 110 acres of forest. Working with Scott County staff at Doyle-Kennefick Regional Park, GRG restored 88 acres of prairie from former agricultural land and enhanced 7 acres of oak savanna. At Victoria Park and Crosby Farm Regional Park, GRG worked with the City of St Paul to enhance 110 acres through prairie planting, tree planting, invasive species removal and shelter pocket clearing and planting. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) completed 3 conservation easements, protecting 318 acres of high quality habitat and 2.35 miles of shoreland. These included: 1) Hunter Lake (Jannusch) protected 201 acres of hardwood forest, oak savanna, pothole wetlands, extensive lake shoreline, and a glacial esker in Sherburne County. The landowner generously donated the entire value of the conservation easement, which appraised at over $380,000. 2) Medvecky Woods (DeCorsey) protected 40 acres of hardwood forest and wetlands in a Minnesota Biological Survey-designated site of Outstanding Biodiversity Significance in Isanti County. The property is contiguous with another MLT easement and nearby the 5,700-acre Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. 3) Tennyson Lake (Barrett 2) protected 77 acres of habitat on Tennyson Lake in Isanti County, a favorite stopover of trumpeter swans and migratory bird species. The easement adds on to 80 acres of existing protected property directly to the north at the inflow of the lake. Funds remaining after completing protection work allowed MLT to work with the Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to complete an oak savanna restoration on the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Carver County. This spectacular project is part of a large complex of public lands with a rich multitude of habitats overlooking the Minnesota River Valley. Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) completed its work under this grant as of September 2018 when it protected through fee title acquisition 51 acres of a high-priority 77-acre parcel for the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The balance of the site was acquired with half of the MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant and $794,462 in other, private funds. After acquisition, MVT used the balance of its MBR 7 / ML 2016 grant to complete the initial habitat restoration over 40 acres, which included converting the building site and crop field to prairie and wetland. Simultaneously, the MN Land Trust conducted initial restoration of 23 acres of degraded oak savanna on the site with the balance of its MBR 6 / ML 2015. Follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance the restored 77 acres will be completed by MVT and USFWS under the MBR 9 / ML2019 grant. The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 116 acres of land which was added to the existing Grass Lake Wildlife Management Area in Wright County. The land contains wetlands, rolling hills and forested areas, and approximately 37 acres of agricultural land that were restored to tallgrass prairie through this grant. Acquisition was the first step in the restoration of a drained wetland, helping to improve water quality and provide aquatic habitat, while also protecting a portion of Grass Lake, an identified shallow lake. Additionally, the acquisition connected separate WMA parcels and increased the size of the existing WMA by 25 percent to over 450 acres. Within a 45-minute drive of over half the State's population, Grass Lake WMA provides numerous outdoor recreation and wildlife observation opportunities to the general public in the Metro Area.

In the Local Lit Lounge, people mingled with over 20 Minnesota authors who had published recent titles, including the North Shore's Jim Northrup and Wendy Webb. Southeastern Minnesotan Howard Mohr presented his revised How To Talk Minnesotan. The Classics Old and New Panel featured Minnesota Book Award winners Marlon James and Alison McGhee. Writers at Work featured four local authors who face practical and creative issues of making a living at writing. The Minnesota Poetry Showcase presented recent work by four local poets, including Matt Rasmussen who was nominated for a National Book Award and award-winning poet Patricia Kirkpatrick. The Children's Pavilion hosted over a dozen local storytellers and artists including Mary Logue, Kurtis Scaletta, and SA Bodeen. 2: By increasing publicity and outreach through libraries and bookstores, the Festival drew in a record number of Minnesotans, with over 6300 attendees. Through a free raffle and surveys, we estimated that attendees represent over 175 zip codes across the state, with over 80% drawn by the main book fair. The average length of stay was over two hours. 90% said the Festival contributed significantly to the cultural vitality of the Twin Cities.

The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases. Head counts and estimates, along with the number of festival guides distributed, will be used to approximate attendance. A formal evaluation survey will give us information about what advertising methods were effective and what elements of the festival were most enjoyable.","We expected twenty-five artists, 300 youth, and 1,000 adults. We had fifty-eight artists, 150 youth and 380 adults. We had a great response to our call for artists, and the funding helped us hire a variety of talented local visual artist-presenters and musicians. We had volunteers helping with children’s activities who gave numbers of participating youth. We, as a group, estimated attendance based on the number of people on the bus tours, periodic head counts at the festival music area, and the number of festival guides distributed. The borders of the festival are permeable, making exact counts impossible. The grant enabled us to increase and expand our advertising and invest in durable goods for future festivals. The ability to have a formal evaluation yielded information about what methods of advertising are most effective and which aspects of the festival were most enjoyed by attendees. These measures will save thousands of dollars for future festivals and will help us shape future festival events. We were able to increase and diversify our advertising to reach a greater audience. Posters and bookmarks were distributed statewide. The reusable billboard increased local awareness. We targeted art, nature, and music lovers as last year, but with a wider distribution of publicity. Statistically, there were no significant changes from 2011 to 2012 in almost all parameters measured, although we observed an older audience who did not like the walking art tour. There was an increase in the number of people who said they would return to the area who had traveled more than fifty miles. 2: Because this is a new festival, the attendees represent an increase in the number of people who experience the arts.

Direct observation of the continuous stream of people of all ages participating in communal art-making at the festival was captured in photographs by the newspaper, the Rotary, the arts organizations and the artists working with the community. The artists reported that they assisted 100-200 people per hour each week during the festival hours of 5:00-9:00. The resulting pieces of community-made art pieces were featured at the festival and will be part of an exhibit this June in Saint Cloud. 2: Nine artists from three arts organizations and twelve sculptors added to an increase in the variety and number of Minnesota artists showcased at the festival. Personal interviews with the project's sculptors and each of the directors of the three partner arts organizations affirmed the artists' appreciation for the opportunity to reach one of the largest festival audiences in Central Minnesota. The sculptors also commented that they were impressed equally with the amount of the stipends they received, the quality of assistance that United Arts and Saint Cloud's personnel offered and with the prominent downtown sites selected to showcase their artwork.

19858,"One-Time Operating Support Grant",2013,5902,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","By having the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota’s artistic director, Garrett Lathe, meet with business and civic organizations in the Central Minnesota community, the increase in visibility for our organization will gain more audience recognition and hopefully, sponsorships. We anticipate that this communication between the arts and businesses will create a better development of donor relations and the personal interaction will help to have a better connection as well as a greater understanding of what the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization is and what our mission and goals are for the youth of this community. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We anticipate that attendance at this festival (both singers, conductors, and audience members) will show that there is an interest and a desire to be a part of something unique to the Central Minnesota area. The benefits of this Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota-sponsored festival are that these girls learn to appreciate music and foster a lifelong involvement both in music and the choral arts, since many of these young singers do not have these types of choral experiences outside of their own school music programs. They also develop lifelong friendships with other young women, while at the same time sharing a common bond: singing.As the community becomes more aware of our organization and goals for giving the youth of Central Minnesota an additional choral experience outside of their high schools, we are able to measure the number of sponsorships from local businesses who see the mission and goals of the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota as an organization that they would like to develop a relationship with. We will be able to evaluate the success of this task by the number of sponsorships received over the course of the year and also by the percentage of cost covered for events as our concert season unfolds. Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants.","Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival met a need in the community as there were no all-day festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. In attendance were 85 middle school and high school women plus their conductors. For a first-year festival, these numbers showed that there was an interest and a desire to be a part of something unique to the Central Minnesota area. Audience size for the end-of-day concert was higher than anticipated; we did not sell tickets, but counted the number of programs remaining. The festival gave girls the opportunity to sing for and work with high-caliber clinicians and learn new skills from them. We were also able to effectively integrate students from grades 6-12 and foster a sense of inclusion for all singers regardless of vocal ability. The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization successfully offered an opportunity for young women in Central Minnesota to collaborate together and produce a high-quality concert for family and friends. The benefit to this project was that the participants learned to appreciate choral music and take back new skills to their school music programs. A survey was conducted post-festival of the choir directors, who gave positive comments about how the festival was organized, saying that the clinicians were the perfect fit for this type of event and that they would like to participate again in the future. We surveyed the clinicians who enjoyed getting to know each choir on stage, guide them musically through songs, and conduct the massed choir for the finale. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota’s Artistic Director, Garrett Lathe, thoroughly researched the best practices for development for community choruses. The outcome was a solid Development Plan for the 2013-15 concert seasons which we will evaluate more as the year unfolds. He also met with businesses to increase the visibility of our organization in the community and gain more recognition and sponsorships. This personal interaction helped others have a greater understanding of the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization and what we do to fulfill our mission for youth singers in the community. The outcomes of these meetings were two partial corporate sponsorships for concerts this season, plus securing a donation from an anonymous donor to use for the 2014-15 season. The partial sponsorships covered approximately 25 percent of each of the concert expenses.",,53801,"Other, local or private",59703,2572,"Joann Weber, David Tilstra, Mary Jo Bot, Chad Armstrong, James Wiant, Jennifer Butkowski, Karen Cash, David Paulson, Kara Rysavy, Andrew Walesch, Ethan Wittrock, Tammie Yapp",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","YCCM is a non-profit chorus for students in grades 9-12 from the Central Minnesota area, representing 16 different high schools and 21 communities.",,,2013-07-01,2014-06-12,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/one-time-operating-support-grant-0,"Chris Rasmussen: art teacher for 35 years at Foley Senior High (retired), Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member and College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Foley High School Art Teacher, potter; Peter Veljkovich: realtor (retired), member of the Little Fine Arts Committee, county representative for the South Suburban Arts Committee, photographer, Disc Jockey; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict's/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; John Stander: Executive Director of Elk River Arts Alliance, career school administrator; Janice Courtney: arts advisor/Assistant Director of Saint Cloud State University Program Board; P.J.

Artist contact hours include time Minnesota artists spend teaching workshops in American Swedish Institute's studio arts program, engaging with the public through lectures, presentations, and demonstrations at festivals and special events. Admission reports show how many visitors are engaging with Minnesota artists through exhibitions and guided tours. American Swedish Institute also captures visitor demographics, composition and visiting patterns by conducting monthly visitor intercept exit surveys. Results show an increase in overall participation of new and first time visitors to American Swedish Institute (70% non-member base in fiscal year 2013 compared to 30% non-member base in fiscal year 2014), engaging its mission through arts related activities, including exhibitions of contemporary Minnesota artists. Expressed interest in seeing American Swedish Institute use the arts to engage its target audiences is not only collected in these exit interviews, it is supported by qualitative research conducted through select focus groups in fiscal year 2013. 2: Increase arts programming and the number of Minnesota artists involved by utilizing the new gallery and the new crafts studio and workshop in the Nelson Cultural Center. The National Association of Neighborhoods hosted their annual meeting in Minneapolis and American Swedish Institute was identified as a case study for how a cultural and arts organization is co-creating programs to meet needs in the community, acknowledged in a keynote address by our local councilman. Other key neighborhood organizations, such as Children's Hospital (medical industry), Lutheran Social Services (social service industry), and Ebenezer (housing services for seniors) have identified arts programming at American Swedish Institute as an asset to partner with to achieve their goals and missions.","In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute worked with 21% greater overall number of artists from fiscal year 2012. For that same time period, American Swedish Institute experienced a 203% increase in the number of artist contact hours with the public. 80,472 visitors engaged with artwork created by Minnesota artists, an increase of 181% over fiscal year 2012. For each of the major exhibitions hosted in fiscal year 2013, Minnesota artists have been the avenue for American Swedish Institute to grow new audience and connect regional interest in its international exhibitions. By strategically incorporating practicing Minnesota artists, American Swedish Institute is being viewed within its community and across the state as an important arts incubator and facilitator. Fiscal year 2013 saw a major transformation from a member-based heritage organization to a vibrant contemporary arts and cultural organization using a broader portfolio of delivery mechanisms (residencies, musical performances, theatre, and participatory exhibition experiences) to engage its diverse audiences. 2: American Swedish Institute has built a reputation as a cultural and arts anchor for the Phillips West Neighborhood of Minneapolis and continues to build more sustained and new relationships with key organizations in its community. In fiscal year 2013, American Swedish Institute used the visual and literary arts to expand programming at three neighborhood schools, growing its participation by more than 50% over fiscal year 2012 with added classrooms and afterschool programming. American Swedish Institute partnered with a media arts unit at a local high school to grow Story Swap, a cross-cultural educational project for new immigrants.

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

Cantus also worked with Theater Latte Da and Hennepin Theater Trust in a national tour and local production run of All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914. 2: Cantus scheduled and hosted 14 open rehearsals. The schedule was promoted through our print program at concerts, social media, and on our Web site. Average attendance was 20. We have seen a slow increase in the number of attendees at each session. In previous years the average audience was 8-12; in fiscal year 2013 we have seen groups as large as 35. Attendees were greeted by the executive director and a board member, and told that they are welcome to come as often as they would like. As a result, there are many who came several times during the year, often bringing new friends each time.

20557,"Operating Support",2013,39519,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Provide programs that meet constituent needs. Keep our 2010-11 repertory, except Claudia and Huggertree; bring in two plays from past repertoire; provide a new conservation play, a new library play, and two Booster Bits on a new topic. Provide one major new project like OPS or Anoka-Hennepin. Increase professional development workshops, from five to eight. Bring together four to six theatre professionals who, as a CLIMB Core of Theatre Practitioners, will observe and critique our actors, scripts, and production elements as they are performed on site. Actors will observe assessment and evaluators’ work, and vice versa, at least one time. We know we provided programs that met constituent needs. First, our repertory was created with input from topical experts and educators. Second, we know the topics were of value to our constituents because we sold 283 plays and 220 days of classes in Minnesota. Third, this year we created new teacher and student evaluations. 3,316 teachers rated the overall value of our programs as a 3.8 out of 4. And 99% of teachers said they would like CLIMB to return to their school. 7,785 students evaluated our plays and classes. 91% of students surveyed said they learned something that will help them. The feedback we received from the CLIMB Core of Theatre Practioners and the additional trainings helped actors score well in both teacher and student evaluations. 95% of elementary students said the acting was great. The actors' portrayal of their characters was rated as a 3.9 out of 4 by teachers and a 3.5 out of 4 by secondary students. 2: Expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. Reach at least 110,000 Minnesotans; serve at least 22% of Minnesota’s cities and towns; assure that 30% of programming is done in greater Minnesota; provide a program that reduces costs to greater Minnesota schools by 25%. With possible increased revenue, we will create funds of 10% of those amounts to help greater Minnesota cover travel/program fees, and to provide cost reductions to underserved audiences. We know we expanded our commitment to public service and public benefit. We exceeded our goal by 8,967 people and reached 128,967 Minnesotans with high quality arts programming. Our programming was defined as high quality by actor/University of Minnesota professor Barbara Kingsley who said, I was surprised by the level of engagement in the audience while watching 'A Deeper Look.' The young audience was riveted. I attribute this to the high level of proficiency on the part of the acting company. Michael Booth also praised CLIMB's original works saying, I was impressed by the artfulness and the message of the play, 'Lockdown.' We did a significant portion of our work in greater Minnesota and in rural Minnesota, and worked with over 800 students with special needs in addition to 815 seniors. We track this data in a spreadsheet that is completed after each residency/performance. This data helps us know the number of people served, as well as statistical data like location and number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. We tracked the savings given to greater Minnesota schools by subtracting their actual travel cost from the original quote given for that school.","To ensure the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life, we provided programs that meet constituent needs. To do this we achieved our stated goals as follows: 1) maintained our repertory except Claudia and Huggertree; 2) brought in Yellow Troll's Treasure and The Dreaded Kneejerk from past repertoire; 3) wrote and produced a new environmental play called Space Baby, a new library play called The Gift, and two Booster Bits (now Interplays) on empathy; 4) created a training video for Anoka Hennepin School's human resources department, and did a live presentation for all their kindergarten teachers; 5) provided actors workshops on operatives, biomechanics, stage combat, unarmed stage combat, and auditioning; 6) created a corps of theatre practitioners (Michael Booth, Barbara Kingsley, James Williams, Mark Rosenwinkel, and Terry Lynn Carlson); 7) ensured actors observe each other's work at least once. 2: In order to ensure people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, we continued to expand our commitment to public service and public benefit. To do this we: 1) reached 128,967 Minnesotans as of July 15, 2013 exceeding our goal by 8,967 people; 2) served 19% of Minnesota's cities and towns, falling short of our goal by 3% due to two anticipated grants not being funded; 3) scheduled 39% of our Minnesota programming in rural communities and 33% of our Minnesota programming in greater Minnesota; 4) created a special program to help save greater Minnesota schools money, but since it required partnering with another school participation was limited. However, to keep with our commitment of making travel affordable to greater Minnesota schools, our outreach team created tours that saved schools in greater Minnesota 39% on travel costs; 5) created a new program for elders with cognitive/physical disabilities and provided 79 days of programming to 815 seniors; 6) partnered with twelve organizations to do customized residencies for people with special needs.",,888168,Other,927687,7929,"Jim Gambone, Representative Joseph Atkins, Bonnie Matson, James Olney, Bill Partlan, Milan Mockovak, Peg Wetli",1.49,"CLIMB Theatre, Inc.

To evaluate the growth of our programs, Forecast relies upon national Public Art Review advisors, our board of directors, our Programs Committee, and others. In addition to collecting quantitative data (increases/decreases in revenues; number of artists served), we consider qualitative measures, including written and oral feedback from artists who applied for and received grants. We document all projects funded and share videos of funded projects on our Web site. Executive Director Jack Becker meets with advisors at national conferences. He then shares notes with the board and staff to help make adjustments to the program.

The theater's season will be complemented by the Live at the Guthrie concert series, the NT Live filmed presentations of National Theatre productions, the WorldStage Series featuring international companies, presentations of five Minnesota companies, and public showcases of the work of University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts and Guthrie Experience (Master of Fine Arts) students. The Guthrie tracks all ticketed programming through Tessitura Software, a fully-integrated database for ticketing, fundraising, marketing, reporting, customer relationship management, web transactions, custom capabilities and more. Quantitative results are measured through attendance figures, box office revenue, contributed income, broad press coverage, and the usage of ancillary programs and materials (e.g. enhanced student matinees and study guides). Qualitative results are measured through critical reviews and audience feedback, both through our marketing and development call rooms and through formal online surveys. In spring 2013, the Guthrie was selected to participate in a national study, run by Theatre Bay Area and sponsored by Doris Duke Foundation, of thirty companies nationwide surveying patrons about the intrinsic impact of live theater. 2: The Guthrie will remain open to the public every day, 362 days a year, offering diverse ticketed programming as well as free opportunities to use and explore the building. Community dialogues at the Guthrie and around the community will serve more than 14,000 people. Patrons are asked to respond to each production's ancillary programming as a part of ongoing audience surveys. For example, the Guthrie hosted a public dialogue with former NAACP Chair Julian Bond as a complement to our production of Appomattox (which examined issues of race in America from 1865 to 1965). One audience member commented, I am an older participant in the Feminist and Civil Rights Movement. It was fabulous to see Julian Bond again and hear his stories and his take on events both then and now. Also this year, internationally acclaimed theater artist Mark Rylance visited the Perpich Center for Arts Education before and after the students there saw him perform in Nice Fish at the Guthrie. Their teacher wrote: It was an inspiring and thrilling event. They learned a tremendous amount and the effects of his visits will continue to affect the understanding and abilities of our students for years to come.","The Guthrie is on track to produce and co-produce twelve productions on its three stages between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013. In addition, the Live at the Guthrie concert series has hosted ten local and national acts in the past year; the WorldStage Series featured the acclaimed Propeller (United Kingdom) to present two thrilling Shakespeare productions in repertory; four Minnesota companies produced their work in the Dowling Studio; and the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Bachelor of Fine Arts Class of '13 performed two plays commissioned especially for them. Through a partnership with the Film Society of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, NT Live has moved across the river to the Film Society's Saint Anthony Main Theatre. Although we are now financially separate from that series, we continue to help them promote it to our audiences. Also, in response to a projected deficit this year, the theater cut the 2013 Guthrie Experience for Actors in Training. 2: The Guthrie Theater has been open to the public 360 of the last 365 days. On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the Guthrie celebrated its 50th year with a Free Community Celebration Day. An estimated 7,000 people enjoyed sampler classes for all ages, theater games for children, a meet and greet with Ebenezer Scrooge (played by J.C. Cutler), self-guided behind-the-scenes tours featuring special exhibits in the scenic and properties shops and the recording studio, performances of Milly and Tillie by Minneapolis' Open Eye Figure Theatre, a costume exhibit featuring historical pieces from the Guthrie Costume Shop and a Costume Photo Booth.

Graywolf published thirty books, including ten volumes of poetry, fourteen works of fiction, and six nonfiction titles. Graywolf set its publication list more than sixteen months in advance, allowing time for intensive editing and audience development. D.A. Powell won the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award for Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys. Catherine Barnett's The Game of Boxes won the 2012 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. Kevin Barry's City of Bohane won the 2013 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Graywolf books garnered seventeen positive Star Tribune reviews, and six positive New York Times reviews; including four titles on its 100 Notable Books for 2012. The Star Tribune wrote a feature article on executive editor Jeff Shotts (The Guy Behind the Poets, April 14, 2013), which described his role in editing authors who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, National Book Critics Circle Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. 2: Reach an engaged community through traditional and innovative marketing efforts designed to connect groundbreaking authors with eager audiences. Graywolf authors held twenty-three local readings, reaching live audiences conservatively estimated at 1,180. Local authors Dobby Gibson (It Becomes You), Leslie Adrienne Miller (Y), and Robert Bly (Airmail: The Letters of Robert Bly and Tomas Tranströmer) drew significant crowds, as did the conversation between Geoff Dyer (Otherwise Known as the Human Condition) and publisher Fiona McCrae for the Talk of the Stacks event at the Hennepin County Library. Graywolf staff made at least eleven instructional visits to local colleges, and three college classes visited the Graywolf office. Graywolf continued its partnerships with local institutions and organizations, including the College of Saint Benedict, The Loft, Poetry Out Loud, and LitPunch, and added over 30,000 Twitter followers and Facebook followers.

In the first year over 25,000 unique visits to the site were recorded. The site is now managed daily by our local Convention and Visitors Bureau with Great River Educational Art Theatre providing oversight as needed. Our Shakespeare Festival brought together 14 local arts groups (and the History Museum and Universities) to all present theater, music, visual art, history, and food/drink around the many works of William Shakespeare.

Specific initiatives include bringing open captioning capabilities to more theatres, providing Access tickets, offering Kid's Nights and other age specific promotions, and offering programming by diverse artists. The Trust regularly reviews the organizations that receive tickets distributed through Access 10 to ensure that we are reaching a diverse audience and we also meet with each organization to solicit feedback on their experience and determine future opportunities. One participant, Asian Media Access, asked if we could provide experiences for their teens to learn more about careers in the arts administration field. We hosted an end of the year meeting with our Critical Review students and learned from them how we can improve the program, such as including a wider variety of artistic performances for them to review and have designed our program to incorporate these suggestions. We also received positive feedback from attendees of Broadway Confidential, our free series of behind-the-scenes talks by theatre experts. 2: To ensure that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are, the Trust will work with local theatre companies to present new and retooled works in the New Century Theatre. Minnesota artists will be showcased, and the Trust will assist with marketing and production.

It was a great year for the festival and the New Century was an especially successful venue. There were multiple sellouts of a space that's on the big side for us and a lot of publicity from Mayor Rybak coming to the show about him twice. The room couldn't have worked better for us. After evaluating our inaugural seasons with both Theater Latte Da and Minneapolis Musical Theatre, we launched the second season for both.

Through our Access 10 Program, we distributed nearly 2,000 free tickets to human service non-profit organizations coupled with participation in artist workshops and tours. Our Critical Review Program offered 35 high school students from diverse backgrounds around the metro area the opportunity to attend touring Broadway shows, write reviews and attend behind-the-scenes workshops with Twin Cities theatre professionals. War Horse Family Day, in partnership with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, taught fifty children and their families how to build and operate their own horse puppets.

Over 4,000 Minnesotans-- diverse in ages, cultural backgrounds, and interest areas--will participate in the Loft's hands-on literary learning and mentorship opportunities in fiscal year 2013. More than 85% of fiscal year 2013 participants will report that their writing improved and that they gained greater knowledge of the creative writing craft. To evaluate participation and artistic development, we employ the use of post-class and post-conference surveys. Students and mentees self-report the answers to questions about the effectiveness of the experience, the knowledge of the teaching artist or mentor, and their personal artistic advancement. Registration information allows us to accurately track student enrollment in on-site and online classes and conferences. Although we meet resistance from constituents, we ask artists and students to self-report demographics. The Loft also recognizes and encourages writers of all levels by offering opportunities focused towards the many stages of artistic development of our constituents. We monitor enrollment by the skill level and genre of our classes. 2: The Loft will support a thriving artistic community by providing earning opportunities for writers. Artists' honoraria will make up at least 20% of the Loft's overall expenses in fiscal year 2013, with approximately $400,000 paid to writers.

In the evaluation of our limited success this area, it was noted that while the expansion of marketing plans was easy to implement, refinement of the plans was more difficult to accomplish due to the structure (and the very small size) of our staff.

Outcomes: Have a meaningful music education presence in classrooms across the state. Give talented young Minnesotan singers the training and support to pursue a college degree in music. Day to day assessment included meetings with the Teaching Artist and individual educators to discuss progress towards goals and objectives, successes and challenges. Demonstrations of student learning based on create, perform and respond concepts were documented. Measures for written assessment included tracking the number and demographics of student/teacher participants; artist/student/teacher contact hours; graduation standards met via demonstrations of learning and lesson plans/other materials used; goals and objectives reflecting planning; daily progress towards objectives; evidence of arts integration into broader curriculum; and activities engaging students in creating, performing, and responding to arts.

We offer the following as evidence we accomplished our goals with respect to the Ridgedale location: We rotated art work through 14 display vitrines in the common areas an average of two times each. Our shop is open seven days a week with extended hours during the holidays. Artwork by more than 100 regional artists includes painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, fiber, ceramics, glass, woodworking, and jewelry.

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

This will be done through various avenues: after-school outreach programs in urban communities in which artistic opportunities are limited; targeted performances in areas with few artistic groups or resources; festivals and workshops throughout the fiscal year that engage young people of diverse socio-economic backgrounds (such as Sing in the Summer and KidSing). The above outcomes were evaluated quantitatively based on involvement in our outreach programs and number of youth served through performances, workshops, camps, etc. We compared fiscal year 2013 figures with fiscal year 2012 figures, as well as with the three-year average from fiscal year 2010-2012. 2: Offering advanced musical opportunities: The Saint John’s Boys’ Choir seeks to offer the highest quality of choral music education available in the United States to our targeted membership in Central Minnesota. This includes the hiring of exceptional staff who regularly work with the singers; collaborations with professional artists from across the state, country, and world who can offer extraordinary insight and mentorship; and the purchase of music that represents the highest national standards of musical excellence. The artistic quality of the program and repertoire was evaluated qualitatively based on the experience and judgment of our artistic staff, verbal and written feedback of audience members and other professional artists, and standards set forth by the American Choral Directors' Association. The quality of the staff is evaluated every 1-2 years by external reviewers who are renowned artists in the choral field. Quantitative assessment was also used in measuring the number of collaborations and professional artists with whom our choirboys worked during fiscal year 2013. Audience attendance and concert revenue were also used as indicators as to how well the artistic program was serving the community.","The Saint John's Boy's Choir sought to extend arts opportunities to underserved youth through after-school programs, targeted performances, workshops, festivals, and camps. While unable to successfully remount an after-school program, we increased our presence in schools, presenting concerts and workshops for students. We targeted urban schools with socio-economically diverse populations, schools which recently suffered financial cuts to their arts programs, and rural schools with limited opportunities to attend performances. The number of youth served through activities rose significantly this year, and the organization saw increased participation in its two major extra-curricular outreach programs, KidSing (up 12%) and Sing in the Summer (up 161%). Another goal was for a 20% increase in prospective members from diverse backgrounds.

Curators, staff and the organization's executive director are all evaluated at least annually. The volunteer experience is assessed through survey and feedback. Organizational goals are clearly identified in a strategic long-range plan and benchmarks are assessed annually. 2: Continuing to build accessibility so that visitors of all abilities are welcomed to The Soap Factory. See general evaluation plan above.","In 2012, The Soap Factory successfully achieved our goals related to artistic excellence and leadership. Our vision is of a true factory for art; not a sterile, passive gallery but a vibrant active place for creative experiment and innovation, unlocking the artistic potential of artists, volunteers and audiences. In 2012, we presented two projects produced in residence: Andy Ducett's Why We Do This, and Amber Ginsberg and Joe Madrigal's FLO. In addition, our annual submission show, Hedge Magic, featured the works of seven artists, including two from Minnesota, and the volunteer biennial, Known Unknowns, featured the work of thirty-four Minnesota artists. The Soap Factory continued its collaboration with Northern Lights to present the work of five new media artists in Artists on the Verge 3. There were several smaller programs that co-existed with the large-scale exhibitions. We continued to work with Alison Morse to present Talking Image Connection, featuring new writers and performers spoken word responses to the exhibitions in the space, and for its fourth year, Sergio Vucci and Andy Sturdevant presented Common Room, a series of psycho-geographical tours of the Twin Cities centered on The Soap Factory. 2: The Soap Factory was successful in raising funds from a variety of sources to make both first and basement floors of the building fully accessible and up-to-code, thus opening the 15,000 square foot basement space as potential site for year-round artistic programming. Coupled with this, The Soap Factory received its Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Minneapolis and a Rental Hall License, paving the way for an estimated $35K in new special event rental revenue to support artistic programs, and restoring The Soap Factory's traditional strength in live music and performance work.",,516743,Other,538605,11500,"Ryan Kronzer, Matthew Cimino, Megan Leafblad, Kevin Manthie, Miles Mendenhall, Kristin Midelfort, Eric Norman, Matthew Roberts, Sara Rothholz Weiner, Jeffrey Siegel, Jason Tamminen, Miranda Wilson, Ben Heywood",1,"The Soap Factory","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tana,Hargest,"The Soap Factory","PO Box 581696",Minneapolis,MN,55458-1696,"(612) 623-9176x 11",tana@soapfactory.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Anoka, Ramsey, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Wright, Sherburne, Isanti, Chisago",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-268,"Sara Buechmann: Executive director, Mankato Symphony Orchestra.; Lawrence Gorrell: Program director, Master of Arts in Human Development; associate professor, Master of Arts in Arts and Cultural Management, St Mary's University.; Paula Justich: Program director of arts and cultural management, St Mary's University of Minnesota.; Elisa Korentayer: Artist and consultant.

In the area of artistic leadership and innovation, the measures track artist engagements across the disciplines, Walker-organized exhibitions and presentations, publications, commissions, premieres, artist residencies, traveling programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and awards. These achievements are shared publicly each year through the Walker's online Annual Report. 2: The Walker is dedicated to advancing participation in the arts and active audience engagement. Outcomes: broaden, deepen, and diversify engagement with audiences. Using Google Analytics, Walker staff measures growth in mnartists.org membership, the number of active members, artworks uploaded or linked, visitors, page views and visit length, and visitors' specific interactions with the site features. Member and artist surveys are also conducted through email, community forums, and in person to hear how well mnartists.org serves them. The staff tracks how well mnartists.org spurs critical conservation about the arts in Minnesota and increased exposure for its artists via the press.

Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to focus on re-imagining what it means to be a member (supporter, student, or instructor) of our organization. Goals: remain relevant today and in the future; study and develop a revitalized benefits program; use technology to reach and communicate with an expanded community; and create an ongoing channel of support to ensure sustained arts programming. Outcomes: report data numbers, proximity/location, and demographics. Membership activities respondents were most interested in following: 93-96% classes and workshops; 22-32% member meetings with speakers; 7-32% Fiber Fair; and 11-29% study groups. While classes and workshops and Fiber Fair were also mentioned, our strong education program and Fiber Fair will continue; a core curriculum review is being led by the Education Committee, and the annual member sale will take place at the Northrup King Building in 2013. To address the other major areas of interest the Membership Chair developed a timeline and objectives to meet the following needs: with the surveys capturing data related to skills/abilities for participation and more weekend activities, Weavers Guild has changed the name of its study groups to ‘interest groups’; developed a new group that will focus on building relationships with newer weavers or those not familiar with our activities. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Weavers Guild of Minnesota plans to continue its strong educational programming. Goals: explore satellite locations and have a broader presence through the metro area; increase capacity and audience reach (students, individuals, artists) in all ages and skill levels in communities that normally do not have access to our unique art form and resources. Outcomes: increase accessibility and engage underserved populations through data tracking, resource development, and evaluation. Weavers Guild of Minnesota's Operations Manager has completed Associate Management Software training, imported old database information, and launched the organization's new Associate Management Software system and website. These initiatives also included planning for communications, such as the weekly online member newsletter, The Draft, and student and instructor course details. Members and broader audience can now register for classes and workshops online. Weavers Guild members also have the capacity to log-in to renew their membership, update contact information, or access the member directory. We formed an ad hoc task group to develop and plan the content for a members-only forum and section of the Web site. Highlights of this unique function will allow for more direct communication and a photo sharing feature, as well as a platform for individuals to request/discuss ride-sharing options or who is interested in forming a private group lesson. A Web cam can reach others remotely for meetings or informational sessions.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan of re-imagining what it means to be a member resulted in designing two online surveys and collecting data from newer and former members. We received responses from 15% of newer members and 10% from former members. The survey asked a series of questions related to joining/membership in the organization, interest(s), organization involvement/participation, interactions with social networking, communication, and proximity/location. When asked, Why did you join? respondents mentioned the following (highest to lowest): to learn about weaving, spinning and dyeing, to connect with other people interested in fiber [arts], class tuition discount, and [interest in] equipment. We learned that 55% of respondents registered for a class at the same time they signed up to be a member, while 38% took a class(es) before joining the organization. Demographics: 93% female, and 7% male; Age: 46%: 46-60; 39%: 61-75; 13%: 30-45. 2: Weavers Guild of Minnesota's plan to remain relevant today and in the future involved using technology to reach and communicate with its community. In March 2013, we acquired and implemented Associate Management Software, and other supporting technology to upgrade our database and that system's capacity to interact with our Web site and accounting software. With an increase in online readership and a growing and active Web audience, Weavers Guild has technologically positioned itself to move the organization in a positive, engaging direction. The efficiencies and integration of these systems frees up staff to benefit other organization programs (Outreach, Education, Membership and Development).",,126185,Other,140683,14498,"Donna Gravesen, Peggy Baldwin, Geri Retzlaff, Cathie Mayr, Ellen Richard, Peter Withoff, Steve Pauling, Jere Thompson, Jackie Lind, Gayle Groebner, Jan Hayman",,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Linda,Hansen,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","3000 University Ave SE Ste 110",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 436-0463 ",lhansen@weaversguildmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Aitkin, Anoka, Blue Earth, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, McLeod, Nicollet, Nobles, Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice, St. Louis, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, Wadena, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-287,"Lawrence Burnett: Choral director and professor of music, Carleton College.; Sunny Chanthanouvong: Executive director, Lao Assistance Center.

State Legislature Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 8, (c)","$625,000 each year is for grants to other children’s museums to pay for start-up costs or new exhibit and program development. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Humanities Center must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms. ","Our Proposed Measurable Outcomes are as follows: - Having a visitor return rate of 70% by the end of the first year. - Have a membership renewal rate of 85% by the end of the first year. - Engage 40% of licensed daycares in Otter Tail county in membership opportunities. - Have four free admission Saturdays during our first calendar year where Otter Cove becomes available and accessible to anyone and everyone. - Have six low sensory events, outside of normal museum hours, where children can engage with our exhibits who may not normally visit during busy times. ","Otter Cove Children's Museum was ready for its grand opening when COVID struck in March 2020. Our team immediately went into survival mode and began fundraising to pay for our rent, unsure how long we would have to remain closed. It was a painful feeling, knowing how isolated everyone was and that we had a fully completed, state-of-the-art children's museum in the heart of downtown, just waiting for visitors to come play. Starting in July 2020, we began hosting private rentals with no more than 40 people at a time. We also gave private tours to our amazingly supportive donors who were anxious to see the completed space. The response was incredible. Friends would join together to rent the space just so their kids could play. We started tracking zip codes and realized how far people were traveling to play at Otter Cove, even during a pandemic. We held a series of open-air art classes in the Maker Shop; these were some of the only children's and adult programs available during the summer and fall of 2020. We are proud that we could offer creative opportunities for our community while following COVID safety protocol. Despite the pandemic, we achieved our goal of becoming a regional gathering ground for children and families. We are also proud of Otter Cove's impact on the local economy. Often when guests leave the museum, they ask staff for recommendations of great local restaurants. If a child is having a difficult time leaving Otter Cove, caregivers will often tempt them with a trip to Uncle Eddie's Ice Cream, just down the street from Otter Cove.

Otter Cove was started and driven by a group of moms but the actual place, Otter Cove, is for children and the ""critters"" who live there; the otter in the Otter Romp Playground, the fox at the cafe, the beaver at the dentist office, the raccoon at the grocery store, the swan on the stage, the mice at the bookstore, and the skunk at the veterinarian. Every detail at Otter Cove is designed to look and feel like a true destination that guests are transported into as they walk through the door. Furthermore, the region's landscape, agricultural influence, businesses and art scene are visible as the actual exhibits and core components of the museum's play structure, miniature downtown, farm and field, and art and maker space. The beneficiaries of the museum will be the young people visiting the museum who lack imaginative, creative, educational and physical play options in the region. Families and caregivers will appreciate a place where connections and community foster, especially in the winter. Family connections will grow, as the museum is an experience that will have impacts across generations - parents and their children, grandparents with their grandchildren, families and caregivers across the spectrum. It's exciting that Otter Cove will be the only children's museum with an indoor play structure in a 180 mile radius, ultimately helping increase traffic for local businesses from the additional visitors in town. We have heard countless employers donate to the project because they are excited to attract and retain young talent with this unique amenity. Childcare providers and school groups will also benefit from having an educational destination for field trips that is local.

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

Southeast Asian community members will better realize their power and how to navigate systems through storytelling. Communities will build cross-cultural mutual understanding. Southeast Asian diaspora communities will be more centered in shared public narratives.Southeast Asian diaspora community histories, stories and cultural arts will be more centered in public art and understanding. Educators, policymakers, healthcare workers, and other community leaders who work with predominantly Southeast Asian communities (Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Vietnamese) will have accessible examples and materials in order to engage with Southeast Asian cultures and histories, to increase their cultural competency and communication skills. We will measure these outcomes through a series of metrics that track both outputs and impact, as described in the evaluation section below.","We have changed our approach to story gathering, both for increased intergenerational participation and for the comfortability of our storytelling participants. Rather than do an open call, we are asking our community partners to ask trusted volunteers, participants, community members, etc. to gather for a story collection cohort. We will have four cohorts, one for each of our heritage backgrounds (Hmong, Lao, Viet & Khmer). Each cohort will meet 3-4 times, with the first three meeting being the young folk only to establish trust in the process and understanding the strength and tools needed for authentic storytelling. Our final meetings will include the cohort's elders, where, after a community dinner, they will each go off into various corners with iPads and talk to their elder to collect stories. This process will ensure we have story collectors that know the purpose of the project and feel like they can continue these skills in their lives, and storytellers that trust and have a relationship with their younger person and feel comfortable sharing their story. As such, we are reducing the need for community healers, given that the relationship between young person and elder will be strengthened in this process. ; SEAD has successfully completed our 2023 Planting SEADS project. We worked with 25 elders from our local communities, capturing their oral stories (via recording) for posterity in our online archive, and publishing 18 stories in our print anthology. The book was celebrated at a launch event on Saturday, December 2nd at the Public Functionary gallery in Northeast Minneapolis. Over 80 people were in attendance at the event. We read five stories, two read in the original heritage languages (Lao and Khmer) and three read in English. Each of the 20 stories was illustrated by an emerging artist from our community. In addition to the custom illustrations, each story was published with personal family photos from each storyteller, adding to the representation and personality of each piece. Elders and fellow community members were able to see the visual representation of their stories on the walls of the gallery space during the reading event. Of the 375 copies of the book we had published, over 200 have been sold and shared throughout the community. We anticipate a reprint of both this anthology and our volume 1 at the end of this calendar year. To capture the stories, we worked with intergenerational story collection teams. Knowing that our first-generation elders, many of who don't speak English, have had little to no exposure to social justice initiatives, we decided to work with a younger member of their family to help facilitate the story collection process. The cohort of younger family members went through a 3-session workshop series on the process and power of authentic story collection. One Hmong member of the cohort stated, ""This [the story collection] has been the highlight of my year. I want to do this with all of my elders,"" (2023). Each story took a minimum of three community members to create: (1) the story collector, (2), the elder or story teller, and (3) the illustrator. This doesn't include the family members that were brought in to help with translation and family photo collection. The ultimate goal of the publication was to capture stories of joy, celebration, tradition, and cultural pride. Rather than focus on the struggles of being a refugee solely, the collection celebrated the families and their struggles, while also looking at moments of levity. This preservation of joy helped in the building of a more personable understanding. Yes, each of these families has experienced the diaspora journey as a result of the Vietnam War, but each of them also has their own lives, networks, friends, and families that contribute to their current identity as Southeast Asian Minnesotans. With the book published and available for purchase, we have seen important feedback on the subject matter of the Southeast Asian diaspora. Many outside our four heritage groups (Hmong, Lao, Khmer, and Viet) were either made aware or grew in their understanding of the shared history here in Minnesota. Others were able to have emotional empathy for the joys and struggles recorded in the anthology. Within our community, we saw inter-cultural group relationship building and relatability. For example, a Filipina attendant of the book launch remembered the refugee camps outside her hometown in the Philippines, and related to this to one of the Viet readers from the series. We hope to do further promotion of the book, with several low cost readings to be scheduled throughout the state in the next year. We plan for the knowledge sharing to increase the strides we've made in visibility and narrative sharing.

The Prior Lake Spring Lake FY 2025 request would seek to fund two projects to reduce nutrients in the upper watershed: Swamp Lake Iron Enhanced Sand Filter The Swamp Lake Iron Enhanced Sand Filter (IESF) is an important part of watershed nutrient reduction and preventing further accumulation of nutrients in Spring Lake which, in turn, is the largest contributor of nutrients to Prior Lake. The Swamp IESF is expected to filter, bind with excess nutrients, and remove 89 lbs of Phosphorus per year, and presents one of most cost-effective, and far-reaching solutions in the watershed strategy. The Swamp IESF is urgently needed to protect the water quality work already done on Spring and Prior Lakes, and to stop a continuing nutrient source. Prior Lake water quality data suggests that it is nearing its nutrient reduction goals, and protecting this progress is essential to moving in the right direction. Fish Lake Management Plan External Load Management Actions In 2023, with the help of WBIF funds, the District completed an updated management plan for Fish Lake. The Fish Lake Management Plan identified both internal and external loading to be contributing factors to excessive nutrients found in Fish Lake. A suite of actions to reduce external loading to Fish Lake were proposed. This project would seek funding to support implementation and/or study of external loading projects. One potential project is the 200th Street pond improvement project which would remove phosphorus-rich sediment from ponds which are contributing to Fish Lake. The improvements would also provide additional sediment storage to reduce sediment from reaching Fish Lake.

Lakeside Park will provide a stage for the artists to perform on, many mature trees to provide shade and a woodsy atmosphere, picnic tables, grills, shelters, a large grassy area to set up chairs and blankets for people to view the stage, and a large grassy area for audience participation and dancing. Lakeside Park also provides a park where the grass is mowed and always kept green by irrigation, contains permanent restrooms with hot and cold water, a beautifully maintained swimming beach, boat launch and beach area where boats passing by can pull up to shore and listen to the music. Lakeside Park has a large parking area that can park up to 500 vehicles, food stands, and Farmers Market. The outcome of this event has already been successful in 2013. In the spring of 2013 a group of individuals and the City of Big Lake volunteered their time and organized the first Music in the Park event for the summer of 2013. All the costs to hire the musicians to perform were paid for by donations solicited by the volunteers. The first Music in the Park was held Thursday, June 6, 2013 and every Thursday evening thereafter, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. through August 29, 2013 (excluding the 4th of July, 2013). Up through the last performance on August 29, 2013, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and participation has been very successful. Adults, children, and a group of local disabled adults all have been singing and dancing to the music. There even have been visitors from out of the United States enjoying Music in the Park. On average, approximately 600 people each Thursday evening have enjoyed this Music in the Park event in 2013. To experience and see firsthand how the surrounding community has come together at all of these musical performances is very gratifying and is a clear indicator that it is very important that this Music in the Park event must continue. Additionally, as this Music in the Park continues, this will eventually lead into other opportunities for other artisans to display their crafts, i.e. paintings, drawings, pottery, carvings, weavings, etc. In working together, the City of Big Lake and Legacy Foundation of Big Lake want to continue to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to perform in Big Lake. It is difficult for local businesses to continue their generosity with donations to this Music in the Park event. This is why funding assistance is critical to keep this extremely successful event continuing into the future.Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance. We are able to conduct a vehicle count as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment. The City of Big Lake also has a website where people can leave their comments. Audience engagement will be measured informally by audience response.",,,15100,"Other, local or private",23100,,,,"City of Big Lake Public Works","Local/Regional Government","Project Grant",,"Facilitate Music in the Park event Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. Starting with the first concert on June 5, 2014 ending the last concert on August 28, 2014.

19741,"Project Grant - Round 2",2013,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2011, First Special Session, chapter 6, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education","Outcome one - high-quality level of theatrical production experienced by audience members as well as cast and crew. Outcome two - break even on the show, or enough to provide seed money for the next production.Outcome one - For those participating in the production: In every production there are stand-out performers with tremendous talent, experience, professional training, or all three. These performers often serve as mentors to other performers who may not have the same level of experience or training. Because of who is cast in the production (both highly seasoned St Cloud area and metro area cast members), Guys and Dolls cast members will learn from their peers and experience a production where they are not one of the few mentors but be able to serve as both mentor and mentee and allow for them to learn from other talented individuals. How to evaluate this outcome is difficult to determine except for directly asking production participants through a survey tool. Another way to evaluate a successful production is the interest of cast and crew to return for other productions. For those viewing the production: All members of the cast have what most would consider significant talent. The central Minnesota communities (primarily St Cloud area) will experience a professional quality show with a St Cloud price as well as an ability to experience professional theater without having to drive to the Twin Cities metro area. This outcome will be evaluated in a couple of ways. One form will be audience comments (on comment cards and website) as well as their perceived satisfaction through observation. We understand the latter is highly subjective so we decided to offer audience members a discount on tickets for the Wedding Singer show later in the summer. Using their ticket stub audience members can purchase tickets during intermission or immediately following the performance they are attending. We feel this would be an indicator of the audience members’ enjoyment of the production -- so much so they will feel it is worth an additional monetary cost to them to attend another production staged by the same company. We are always open to suggestions on how to evaluate a live theatre production and would welcome feedback. Outcome two - Members of the Rooftop Theatre board have all had considerable experience with staging theater productions and realize the precariousness of making budget. This is why we include this as a goal and understand that breaking even is not only based upon corralling expenses while still providing a professional production, but also about attendance. Some may think the expected attendance to be ambitious. After discussion with Laurie Johnson, Paramount Theatre's performing arts director, as well as an examination of attendance numbers for two other large-scale musicals at the Paramount Theatre (Chicago [2,450+ for five performances] and Full Monty [1500+ for three performances]), the expected audience members is ambitious but, we don't think, overly ambitious. It is important to note that Chicago had 890 students/seniors (only way it is broken down) and Full Monty had 315 students/seniors in attendance. Therefore the evaluation plan will be the actual number of audience members who actually see the performances.","The outcomes anticipated in this project were: Outcome one - high level of theatrical quality production experienced by audience members as well as cast and crew. Outcome two - break even show or enough to provide seed money for the next production. Outcome one was achieved. Production participants all had some previous theatrical experience, some even professional. One member of the case was an Actor's Guild member. (See program for brief actor bios) Cast members commented they appreciated working with other very talented cast members and many added they were able to learn throughout the production. Many cast members have chosen to perform with RoofTop Theatre in subsequent productions. Those who attended the production were enamored by the quality. One usher was overheard saying they wouldn't mind volunteering for this production every night because it was so well done. Outcome two was not achieved. Expenses far outweighed revenue so much so that a couple of board members contributed to the production to make budget. We anticipated better attendance and were encouraged by the Paramount director to believe this would be true. Initially not all members of the Board felt as strongly about attendance but chose to side with the Paramount director. Lesson learned--go with your gut. Some production members have waived receipt of any stipend because they believe in this theatre company.

Another measure that we are really excited about is to give our Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors a chance to participate in an art experience that is truly creative. With the workshop spread over three hours this will give enough time for even children who have special needs to complete a project. We are also looking at the outcome with our children who come from really tough family situations. To give these children the chance to channel their feelings in a new way by creating a mask will be unique, as they will be able to create facial expressions on the masks that reflect their feelings. While the above outcomes reflect a real mixture of hopeful results we see this project as one that will truly bring a creative experience to our children that will be remembered for many months to come.In measuring how the above outcomes are achieved, the main one will be to see how the masks are finally created. We expect that they will be very colorful and create some special facial expressions that will be reflective of the children. The staff of Big Brothers Big Sisters is also looking to see how the mentors of each child work together with each child they mentor. This is a very critical aspect that staff is always looking for. Big Brothers Big Sisters does not have many special workshops like this one and we are seeing this workshop as one that will be the pilot project for an avenue for us to pursue in the future. The social aspects of this workshop are significant. Our children come from special family situations and we see this workshop as one that will be a positive experience that we will be able to bring a “special ray of sunshine” into their lives.","This workshop involved Big Brothers and Big Sisters with their mentors in the making of masks that reflected their feelings, emotions, and the world they live in. It was rather unique to see both mentors and their younger friends draw their masks on plain mask paper and then transfer this art form to a real mask. After doing this they painted the masks to reflect the real feelings they wanted to display. The end result was a colorful art piece that reflected a view into the lives of each participant. The workshop was led by Lee Ann Goerss from Buffalo, Minnesota. The above describes how the basic goal was achieved by each participant in the workshop to create a mask that displayed emotions and feelings. Lee Ann was quite pleased about the end result in how the masks were completed.

Residency participants will also have a greater sense of what informs Arabic music through the education components of Simon Shaheen’s outreach.

These will be narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback.

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

Through the preparation and execution of this event, CPC will expose our students of all ages to an extraordinary opportunity to learn by producing and performing in a large scale event before a variety of community members in a unique, fun, and family friendly setting. We will expose the larger community to musical performances and arts education opportunities available for youth in the area. In preparation for performance opportunities at the German Heritage Festival, Command Performance students will learn and master material appropriate for age and developmental and technical skills over the course of several months. This training will take place through weekly classes and rehearsals for all students at all levels from kindergarten through adult. Lessons and training for CPC students will include learning opportunities to engage students about the types and styles of Germanic and Bavarian music, language, history, and composers and performers through the ages. In culmination, Command Performance students will present a series of performances throughout the event. Students will have opportunity to participate in group choral, duet, solo, and ensemble performances, as they desire and are able.Command Performance will primarily evaluate using the following means: community attendance will be one primary factor in the overall success of this event. Since there will be no ticket sales or entry fee, crowd numbers will be estimated and assessed visually during the event. Overall success in producing and organizing the event will be evaluated by meetings and/or communication with co-sponsors during preparation, production, and after completion of this event, and discussion and evaluation by the board and staff. The educational goals and performance evaluations for students will be conducted through artistic staff discussions, communication between directors and their students, feedback of parents and families, and group and individual student mastery of musical material according to their ages and developmental levels.","The groups that partnered to produce this spectacular community Performing Arts and Cultural festival used 2 very simple evaluation tools.

Increased attendance at regular Art Crawls throughout the year. We have seen record numbers attend the Art Crawls over the past year, but we want to keep expanding our audience. The additional excitement of the Summer Crawl will draw more people, who will then be inspired to attend the rest of the year. The expanded advertising we will be able to do will bring people from surrounding areas and summer lake spots. 2. Increased public awareness and familiarity with our regional artists, musicians, actors, writers, and arts organizations. By trying out working with clay or wood, making music, patrons may be inspired to take a class, attend a play or go to a concert. Organizations will have the opportunity to promote their seasons and patrons will develop relationships with the artists and purchase their work. 3. Expanded organizational ability and marketing effectiveness for the Collaborative. Our summer intern(s) will build on the strides already made, exploring new opportunities in print, radio, and social media advertising. Interns will benefit as well, learning the ins and outs of arts management and promotion. 4. Increased diversity of participating artists, adding at least two performing groups of ethnic diversity in our community. This might include groups like the Nu-Way Choir and drummers from the Boys and Girls Clubs led by Buddy King.1. We will count patrons who come to the Art Crawl. Since we have attendance estimates from previous crawls, we can compare and evaluate the results. 2. We will survey patrons, artists, venues, and organizations participating in the crawl to evaluate this year's experience and measure any increase in public awareness.

Our intern worked all aspects of social media and we got expanded likes and interest on the internet, thus we feel that there is increased awareness of the crawls and regional artists.

Our goal is to increase both the artistic quality and technical ability of the choirs involved. We want to have our concert result in members of our audience--young and old--participating in choral or other musical performance groups in their schools and/or communities because of their exposure to a high quality choral concert that will also be a lot of fun. Singing in a choir is listed as one of the healthiest lifetime habits a person can have, and our goal is to encourage participation.We have accurate attendance records from last year's concert, including age category, and we will do the same this year in order to be able to evaluate audience growth. We have labeled each ticket with the category and then collected tickets at the door to accomplish this. We will ask the audience to fill out a short evaluation form asking where they heard about the concert, if it is the first time they've attended, and what aspects they enjoyed about the concert programming. This will be a good tool for future planning of events as well as evaluating marketing effectiveness. We will have a slightly different survey for the participating artists which will also help us plan next year's event and to see what areas of the concert were most appreciated by the students and what they came away with following the event. This will help us build more educational opportunities into this already successful artistic collaboration. As well as written feedback in the survey, we will interview each of the participating directors concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration for the growth of their choirs. We will listen to the verbal comments of participants and audience members about the enjoyment of and learning that occurred as a result of the performances. All of the above measures will be combined into a concert success summary that will be discussed with the artistic director and the board of directors as part of the planning for our next collaborative event. We will ask the artistic directors of each guest ensemble for feedback about the educational merit, technical challenge and growth resulting from the concert preparation, and musical growth from the variety of styles and traditions of the songs in the concert.","Our two main objectives were to increase and expand our audience with a concert geared specifically to children and families, and to increase both the artistic quality and technical ability of the choirs involved. To this end, we were successful for a combination of reasons. We offered slightly different pricing lowering the ticket prices for seniors, and offering family pricing of $40 total for households that included two adults and more than two children. We believe that this pricing, along with broader marketing efforts, contributed to the high number of student and senior tickets sold. We were extremely satisfied with our attendee total of 693 (just seven bodies shy of our goal for this performance) considering a Messiah Sing at the Paramount was scheduled for the same time and there were less than ideal weather conditions on the evening of December 15th. Several audience members commented that the family pricing was the reason they were able to afford to come to the concert at all. Advertising included sponsorship on public radio, heavy ad spot placement on WJON AM radio, light placement on Spirit 92.9 (two stations we never advertised on before), and articles and information in the Saint Cloud Times and local newspapers. Out of 693 tickets sold, 311 were adults, 219 were seniors, and 116 were students or children. 44 of the tickets were sold at a family rate. We know that several families of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and Cantabile members took advantage of family pricing, commenting that this was the reason they were able to afford to come to the concert at all. We asked audience members to fill out surveys to help us understand and serve our community better and received some great feedback. Several people commented on the success of the collaboration and that it was beautiful to experience the three different groups. A breakdown of Survey results is attached in the supporting materials. Of course, we wish more people would participate in the survey (response rate was 7%), and are considering incentives for next year’s concert because we feel it is the best way to gauge our audience. Performers from Great River Chorale, Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, and Cantabile were asked to provide feedback about the artistic merit of participating in the concert through an electronic response form. The majority of the responses relayed a similar answer that indeed, working with various directors, singing with and hearing the different groups helped them to grow as musicians. Several performers commented that the parts they enjoyed best were the collaborative pieces. Participating directors were also asked to provide feedback about the artistic merit and effectiveness of the collaboration in order to help us build more educational opportunities into this already successful artistic collaboration. They enjoyed the experience of collaborating with ensembles to produce a well-thought out concert.

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

Additionally, Pioneer Place has partnered with the Stearns History Museum to share in making this event more than just a production, but an experience. Through cross-promotions, on-site displays, and an event geared at bringing awareness to the Stearns History Museum, we intend to use this production as a catalyst to spread the word about our local resources - especially as they pertain to the Mississippi River - while entertaining our audiences with an amazing production. The outcomes will be measured on audience attendance, of course, but moreover measured on creating awareness regarding the Stearns History Museum and all it has to offer. Personnel from that organization will be on hand for each of the performances and will be given an area to share their information, add attendees to their mailing lists, and share general information regarding this incredible local museum. The success of this component of the event will be measured through increased attendance at the History Museum, amount of literature distributed, and the number of additions to their mailing and email lists throughout the run of the show. Finally, we will conduct a survey with our audiences to ask them how this experience fulfilled their expectations, what they learned through the production, and whether they think bringing shows like this to Central Minnesota are beneficial for raising awareness to our local resources as well as the entertainment value.There are a number of resources available to use in the evaluation process of this production. First, in regards to attendance, we have the technology in our box office software to identify the audience that participated through many demographics including age, income, and location. This data is important to evaluate whether or not we are reaching beyond our traditional season ticket base and reaching a wider audience. Secondly, a survey will be conducted on each performance night. This survey will gather other useful information regarding why people attended this particular production, did we meet their expectations, what was learned as a result of this theatre experience, and how has this outing increased their knowledge regarding our local resources, in particular, the Stearns History Museum. Finally, we will partner with the Stearns History Museum to ensure awareness of their programming is further enhanced as a result of this cross promotion.","Bringing Don Shelby's amazing one-person production of “Mark Twain: Life on The Mississippi” to Central Minnesota was nothing short of a spectacular experience. The outcomes were vast. The attendance is a great place to start. We originally had planned on producing three performances of this show, but due to overwhelming demand, we actually had to add a matinee performance on Saturday. We had originally thought that a good attendance for a January show like this would be 550 people, and in the end we put 730 total people in the seats. A remarkable feat. Secondly, our goal was to use this show as a catalyst for further discussions regarding the Mississippi River and its importance in Central Minnesota. We partnered with the Stearns History Museum to conduct an audience-interactive panel discussion following the performance where we invited four experts from the community, and Don Shelby himself, to discuss topics ranging from the economic impact of the Mississippi River on our City; the history of the River, and most importantly, the future of our River. This round table was very well attended and although we had slated one hour for the talkback, we had to cut it off at nearly two hours and it could have gone on for hours. Third, we used this show to bring in exhibit photographs from the Stearns History Museum that demonstrated some of the early development, logging, and transport of the Mississippi River as seen through the eyes of early photographers. This lobby exhibit helped set the mood for our patrons as they entered the theatre. Finally, the goodwill that was received and the new audience members we achieved surpassed our expectations dramatically.

(2): Committee members will observe and note if attendees engage with the performing artists, are interested in watching the craft demonstrations, spend time interacting with the exhibitors and participate in the creation of community art projects. (3): The committee will compare a regular list of arts supporters, volunteers and businesses to a list of Art Faire by George participants and identify NEW supporters. (4): We will easily be able to quantify the number of exhibitors; we will also be able to track the retention of artisans and the recruitment of new artisans. (6): We will follow up with exhibitors to survey their satisfaction with the Art Faire, how their sales receipts compared to other events in which they have participated and if they would return as an exhibitor in future years.","The Art Faire, as part of the overall Summertime by George Concert Series, achieved many outcomes: (1) Outcome: Using visual arts as the catalyst, “Art Faire by George” brought people together, created shared experiences and introduced them to an arts and cultural experience that they might not otherwise have sought out or found. The Art Faire also increased community participation in and appreciation of the visual arts by offering opportunities to engage and interact with artists and their artwork (1) Evaluation: The overall festival attendance reached a record 93,500 people in 2013, based on St Cloud Police Department’s official estimations). The Art Faire increased its attendance over the previous year by more than 2,500 people. Art Faire committee members observed that attendees spent more than 45 minutes strolling through the Art Faire area watching demonstrations, interacting with the exhibitors, purchasing art, and participating in the activities offered by the vendors. (2) Outcome: As expressed by the Rotary Club members and the arts and crafts vendors, the Art Faire in its second year remains a unique addition to Summertime by George increasing the audience’s enjoyment of the event and the satisfaction of businesses who sponsored the Art Faire and Summertime by George. (2)Evaluation: Sponsors were interviewed by the Faire committee and received positive responses about the exposure that they had during the event. Their greatest endorsement was their willingness to again sponsor the Art Faire in 2014. (3) Outcomes: To attract and showcase a wide variety of local, regional and state-wide artists and craft-makers, and to enhance the appreciation of fine arts and crafts and increase the sales of original artwork. (3) Evaluation: Through a survey and personal interviews, the committee ascertained that there were economic benefits for artists and local businesses. Although we did not attract our projected number of arts and crafts vendors, those that were there felt that their sales justified their participation in the Faire. Some artists did better than others. Price points of the artwork were not the only driving forces of the sales. Quality and uniqueness played a major role in sales. There were pieces of original art over $200, and some over $400 that were sold during the day. The food and beverage vendors that chose to participate during the extended hours of the Art Faire (starting 4 hours earlier than the normal event opening time of 5:00 pm) indicated that they had good afternoon sales and all of the food vendors who opened after 5:00 pm commented that the Art Faire boosted foot traffic to their area which in turn increased food and beverage sales. The artists also expressed satisfaction with their afternoon and early evening sales. (4) Outcome: To produce an arts and crafts event with broad appeal, positive economic results and a reputation for high-quality that garners artists’ and community support, participation and satisfaction. (4) Evaluation: Random interviews with artists, sponsors, Rotarians, and Faire attendees, indicated that several elements of the Art Faire had a broad appeal and favorable reception. People commented that the 30' x 30' pop-up art gallery featuring ceramics, sculpture and paintings by various local artists added a unique dimension to the outdoor art event. Artists themselves as well as the general public enjoyed arts demonstrations. And another favorite appreciated by artists and faire-goers alike was the “Sam Spiczka” sculpture garden.",,5900,"Other, local or private",10900,1312,"David Tripp, Dianne Kroska, Christy Gilleland, Troy Fritz, Cindy Hawker, Pegg Gustafson",,"Rotary Club of Saint Cloud",,"Saint Cloud Rotary's ART FAIRE by George!",,"The Saint Cloud Rotary Club will build upon the success of the 2012 inaugural ART FAIRE by George and repeat the one-day arts and crafts event during the Rotary's 4th annual Summertime By George 12-week concert series.

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

This includes an annual free-to-the-public outdoor concert by the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra as well as numerous side stages throughout the day featuring local performance artists from various performance media. For the Central Minnesota Arts Board grant, we would like to introduce a new performance art element to the event that would allow spectators to experience new and exciting types of performance art that they would otherwise not have a chance to see and to showcase Minnesota artists and provide artists with an exposure to a wide audience. Our goals include: Providing a live glass-blowing performance to 8,000 spectators on June 27, 2013; enhancing the amount of audience engagement at the event through this interactive demonstration; educating members of the Saint Cloud State University and St Cloud Community about the art of glass blowing and enhancing interest in that type of art.We would measure our effectiveness using a number of methods, including but not limited to counting spectators at the demonstrations and surveying them about their experience using the following questions: Have you ever seen a live glass-blowing demonstration before? If yes, how many times? On a scale of 1 to 5, please rate the following: Uniqueness of this exhibit, Artistic value of this exhibit, Entertainment value of this exhibit, Fit of this exhibit with the flow of the event, After viewing this exhibit, are you more or less likely to purchase hand-made glass items? Why? What comments do you have about this exhibit?","Outcome 1: Expose a broad audience to the art of glass blowing. Total attendance at the fair was more than 10,000; of those, approximately 6,000 individuals stopped to watch the glass blowing demonstrations for a short period of time (2 minutes or more). Approximately 1,000 spectators spent at least 30 minutes viewing the glass blowing demonstrations. In our post event-evaluation, 96 percent or respondents reported that they had not seen a live glass-blowing demonstration before. Outcome 2: Enhancing audience engagement. The demonstrations had a full audience throughout the day and the artists explained their processes and encouraged questions and interaction. More than 90 percent of respondents scored the exhibit a 4 or 5 (out of 5) on uniqueness, artistic value, and entertainment. Outcome 3: Educating the community about the art of glass blowing.

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

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

Increased attendance at the Art Crawls throughout the year. While the number of people attending the regular Art Crawls is growing and they are successful in bringing the public downtown to appreciate and purchase artists' work, we want more! The additional excitement will draw more people, who will then return for regular crawls throughout the year. Expanded Art Crawl advertising and marketing will bring in more people from the surrounding areas - from Brainerd to Alexandria to Monticello to Mille Lacs. Regional patrons, once they see what we have to offer will be encouraged to return to downtown St Cloud for shopping, future crawls, and other arts activities. 2. Increased public awareness and knowledge of our regional artists, musicians, actors, writers, and arts organizations and promote their work. By trying out working with clay, or painting, or seeing artists at work making music, dancing or acting, patrons will be inspired to take a class, attend a play or go to a concert. Organizations will have the opportunity to promote their seasons and patrons will be able to develop relationships with the artists and purchase their work. 3. Expanded organizational ability and marketing effectiveness of the Collaborative. Our summer intern(s) will build on the strides made by last summer's interns, exploring new opportunities in print, radio, and social media advertising. The intern will also develop promotional materials, handle logistics for the placement of musicians and actors, interface with participating performers, and design organization materials to increase the efficiency and organizational capacity of the Collaborative. This can be beneficial to the interns as well, attracting talented individuals to the field of arts management and promotion, providing an opportunity to try it out. 4. Increased diversity of participating artists, adding at least two performing groups of ethnic diversity that represent members of our community. This might include groups like the Nu-Way Choir and the drummers from the Boys and Girls Clubs led by Buddy King, or others from the new members of our community.Evaluation Plan/Methods: 1. We will count patrons who come to the Art Crawl. Since we have some attendance estimates from past crawls, we can compare the numbers and evaluate the increased numbers. 2. We will survey patrons, artists, venues, and organizations participating in the crawl to evaluate this year's experience and evaluate whether they see an increase in public awareness. We will ask how they found out about the crawl to measure our marketing effectiveness. 3. As a group we will assess the experience of the 2012 Sizzling Summer Art Crawl, evaluating what we learned, the systems that were produced that will lead to sustainability, what went well and what problems still remain. 4.

For the Briggs' Lake Concert, the Lewis House Dedication, the Star Rail Museum Dedication, the 125th Anniversary Exhibit Concert at the Stearns County Museum, and possibly for the opening ceremonies for the CanAm Games, we plan to not only help the various groups celebrate their event, but also create new patrons for the Saint Cloud Municipal Band by introducing ourselves to different groups of individuals. Each of our concerts includes interactions with the band director explaining the history and stories behind the pieces we play so people can understand and relate to the compositions. In this way, we instruct as well as offer a potentially new basis in which patrons can understand what the composers had in mind. Based on last summerÆs Barden Park Survey, we expect to again see the results that support the preferences of taxpayers when the Legacy Grant was created by voters on November 4, 2008. Last summer, our patrons showed that many were families composed of several generations coming to the concert. Several noted that our performances were unique, not available in other cities or in other states. The Saint Cloud Municipal Band Concerts are a source of civic pride, and great entertainment. About demographics: Great performance û sad it is last û grandson and daughter really interested and look forward to Thursday! Really like marches û my brother and son belonged to the band Threeû year old Shane marched all night and made friends with the drummers! Great fun to bring grandkids and watch them get into the music.We plan to continue surveying our patrons. We added a question about the zip codes of our patrons who attended the 2011 Fall Paramount Concert to get a better idea of the market area we serve. Our market for that concert drew people from the Twin Cities as well as from Central Minnesota. We also ask about music preferences, ages, and comments the patrons have about the individual performances. When we gather sufficient numbers of surveys from various demographics and zip codes, we can do cross-tabulations to determine any statistically significant differences. With this information, we can better serve our patrons by playing what they know they like as well as gently introduce new musical genres into their eveningÆs entertainment. In addition to surveys, individuals in the audience will come up and chat with band members.

We are trying to open access to this arts experience to everyone. 1: Reach a new audience. Attendance at this event would include 25% first time attendees. By programming a concert with the Fabulous Armadillos we will have a built in additional audience. All of their St Cloud performances are often sold out. We anticipate they will assist us in selling out this performance as well. Getting new people to hear the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra will bring new audience to the orchestra for the rest of the season. 2: Introduce the new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra to the community. We have spent 2011-2012 seeking a new artistic leader. Advance promotion will create excitement at meeting the new orchestra conductor. This will be his first concert as the Artistic Director for the orchestra. 3: Provide the musicians of the orchestra with a challenging artistic experience. The musicians of the orchestra are extremely talented and want to be challenged. The orchestra musicians want to play music that inspires them to create a quality arts experience for the audience. This program will do this by offering the musicians the opportunity to perform some of the best known classical music literature. The musicians benefit from the experience of performing this music and the audience benefits from the opportunity to listen to the performance. This concert will also give the musicians an opportunity to perform a new genre of music when they accompany the Fabulous Armadillos. 4: Collaborate with Saint Cloud State University and the University Programming Board to present this program on campus. Saint Cloud State University has been a supportive partner since the inception of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra. We also have a close relationship with the program board of Saint Cloud State University, and will ask them to assist us in promoting this event. Last year the UBP Board was very active in helping us promote the September Preview Concert. 5: Sell additional season tickets. At least 25 new patrons will purchase tickets for regular season concerts presented by the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra. Our efforts will not stop with the completion of this event. We will continue to reach out to this audience and encourage them to attend our concerts throughout the 2012-2013 concert season. Our ultimate goal is to develop a long-term relationship with our community. All of this will add up to a wonderful musical experience for the audience and the musicians. The outcome of this project is to provide a new opportunity for a meaningful arts experience for all members of our community.The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra measures the effectiveness of all of our programs by direct response from our audiences, staff and the members of the orchestra. In the case of a concert, attendance is a measure of reaching our goals. Increased concert attendance indicates we are offering a program that is interesting, promoted effectively, and meets the needs of the audience and the musicians. A full-house indicates we have done a good job from programming to promotion to presentation. This will be the third year we have offered a Preview Concert as part of our programming. The audience has grown steadily over time. The first year we had 250 patrons and last year that amount nearly doubled to 400 patrons. This has become an important part of our season. Audience surveys and feedback are used to help the staff and the Board of Directors determine the effectiveness of the programs and their service to the public. Audience acceptance of performance and programming is a primary tool for evaluation. We invite and receive significant feedback, and we strive to understand the trends that develop in order to respond to the needs of our audience. We will use an on-line survey to gain feedback from the audience on additional elements of this performance. We will encourage concert goers to go to our website and complete the on-line survey. We are looking for feedback on the program we presented, the marketing tools we used and the overall satisfaction with the experience. This information will be used to assist us in future planning. We receive feedback from the musicians via direct feedback and through the Musician Committee. The committee represents the sections of the orchestra and is instrumental in guiding the process of the orchestra and providing feedback to the Executive Director and the Board of Directors.","This concert featured the orchestra performing music that introduced the 2012-2013 concert season.

I like the explanation and background of the songs and writers. They do a great job of this. I love good music and the band is the tops.Evaluation Plan and Methods are as follows: Outcome 1 is measured by delivering live theater to Elk River and surrounding areas: by auditioning, rehearsals, and the presentation of a series of live performances for the region at the end of July. The extensive rehearsal process and a series of performances before local audiences will facilitate evaluation of outcomes 1, 2, 3. This will occur by training and refining skill sets of performers and stage management, by giving artists an opportunity to perform live theater, and by having a local, affordable option for audiences to view a unique theater offering. Have the actors, directors, and stage crew mastered the material and given competent performances? This is no small feat as exquisite timing is involved to pull this particular production off well. The staging, sets, props acquisition and management, and timing and delivery of lines, entrances and exits, are more complex than the average stage production- The artistic directors evaluate performers and production crew verbally and/or in writing for outcome. 2. Audiences will be offered an optional stage tour by an experienced cast or board member during one of the two intermissions in each performance. Outcome 3: We will conduct verbal and written surveys after the tour to ascertain audience opinion and whether the organization is meeting the goals we set for this production. We believe this tour/survey combination will be effective for outcome 3 because the audience members who choose to participate will be able to shift perspective briefly to see theater art in a way that few ever do...from behind the scenes. This invites them to move to a more intimate level of participation beyond the passive observer and into the role of active participant.

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

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

We expect to attain the following outcomes: 1) 12 choral directors, 25 local choral ensemble members, and 25 local vocal and/or conducting students will attend the concert and remain to participate in the Q and A following the performance. They will leave the concert and the Q and A inspired to do better in their own work, energized that their work brings joy to others. 2) We expect 20 hits"" on the Chanticleer Q and A session (should they give permission) on the Facebook link that contains the entire session. 3) 30 local high school students will respond to our efforts to inform them of this opportunity. In fact, we are hoping that the entirety of the Youth Chorale of Minnesota will be in attendance. They have already been informed of this concert, though it is a year away.We plan to measure our goals by using the following tools: 1) a survey will be included in the programs that are handed out to each person attending the concert. We have done this in the past, but get so very few of them returned. So this time we will be offering an incentive for patrons to fill them out prior to leaving the concert - though what that incentive will be is as of yet undetermined. We are modeling the survey after one that appeared in the recent VocalEssence concert and last summer's Prudence Johnson A Girl Named Vincent concert. 2) A similar survey will be given to all those who stay for the Q and A. We believe that feedback from this particular group will be easier to capture than data from the general public that attends the concert. This smaller group will likely be arts professionals and serious arts aficionados, all of whom fully realize the extreme importance of capturing critical data and feedback for both the Paramount and for our Minnesota legislators. 3) Ticketing system data will also provide us with information that we need to know in order to gauge if our geographic and attendance goals have been achieved. Ticket data is able to tell us how many patrons from the 4-county area enjoyed the concert. 4) A random polling with a show-of-hands of those in attendance at the Q and A will also be a tool for measurement. A show of hands will give us immediate feedback regarding the composition of the group that remains after the performance. We are able to ask ""How many of you are students?""; ""How many are choral conductors?""; ""How many sing in a local choir?""; ""How many are from out of town?"" and other similar questions. 5) Facebook feedback is becoming more and more a source of information. The Q and A, with the permission of the members of Chanticleer, will be videotaped and inserted into a Facebook page. This ""session"" will then be able to be posted for viewing by those who were unable to attend.

Through the outreach and educational programs that are associated with this production and the Shakespeare Festival as a whole, we will bring this art form directly to this audience. Secondly, we hope entertain and engage our theatre-going public with a creative, professional production of one of the world's greatest works. Third, we will employ professional artists who have dedicated much of their lives to performing classic theatre by supplying them with a venue and audience. Finally, and very importantly, we hope to continue to build strong relationships with other arts organization in Central Minnesota by participating in this collaborative effort. By introducing students to classic theatre at a young age, our hope is this art form will be allowed to continue into coming generations. It is critical that the experience of Shakespeare is positive from the onset of introduction. And that is why our artistic team will be personally engaged with this young audience through the outreach described previously. Additionally, through the Artist Spotlight series, we will reach out to adult audiences to share in a talkback session where we can all learn from Shakespeare's message and how it applies to our world today. Our artists will grow in their craft be sharing their experiences and knowledge with a younger generation which will not only enhance our youth, it will give our artists a positive experience with our community.Participation will be a key measurement tool to ensure we are meeting our goals. Besides measuring the success at the box office by monitoring the attendance, the outreach programs associated with this show will be measured as well. Working with Sartell High School, Sauk Rapids-Rice, and the St Cloud School District, the goal is to pair our creative team and cast with students to further research, discuss, and workshop Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is on the curriculum in the school districts and talks have already taken place to bring our team into the schools as part of the Shakespeare Festival. Adult audiences will also be measured through two mechanisms. First, a survey is being developed that will be distributed to audiences garnering feedback as to the Shakespeare Festival concept and what their experience has been. Secondly, Pioneer Place will host an Artist Spotlight on Monday, March 26 where our audience is invited to participate in a free talkback session with the artistic team of Romeo and Juliet for an evening of question and answers regarding the performance and creative choices.","One of the key outcomes we were trying to achieve with this project was to engage High School-aged students to not only see the show, but to also participate in a workshop with our professional staff.

Our goals for this concert include: Goal 1: Performance of classical music in Central Minnesota. We will perform a program that includes repertoire from classic to modern, Tchaikovsky to Bernstein. The common theme for all the music of this concert is that it is related to ShakespeareÆs classic story of love and loss, Romeo and Juliet. All of this will create a wonderful musical experience for the audience and the musicians. Goal 2 Give 75 musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform major classical repertoire on stage for our community. Goal 3 Provide a student musician with the opportunity to perform with a full orchestra in a concert hall setting Goal 4 Give our audience and the musicians the opportunity to experience and evaluate guest conductor Keitaro Harada. Harada is one of four guest conductor candidates for the 2011-2012 Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra season. After this concert, the audience and the musicians will have the opportunity to provide feedback to the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra Search Committee. Goal 5 Provide an educational experience for the audience. Mr. Harada will provide a pre-concert discussion that will enhance the audience experience. He will talk about the music, the composers and the historical context of the compositions. We anticipate 125 members of the audience will participate in this event. Goal 6 Provide a social experience for the audience and the orchestra. After the concert we will provide dessert and coffee for the audience. This provides an opportunity for the musicians, conductor, soloists and audience to discuss the event. We anticipate 300 audience members will stay after the concert to talk to each other and the performers.The Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra measures the effectiveness of all of our programs by direct response from our audiences, staff and the members of the orchestra. Audience surveys and feedback help the staff and the Board of Directors determine the effectiveness of the programs and their service to the public. Audience acceptance of performance and programming is a primary tool for evaluation. We invite and receive significant feedback, and we strive to understand the trends that develop in order to respond to the needs of our audience. Because this is a guest conductor season, we will actively seek feedback from the musicians and the audience after each concert. There is a specific survey used by the audience to obtain their feedback after this concert and another tool to be used by the musicians of the orchestra. This essential feedback will help us select the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra for the coming years. In the case of a concert, attendance is also a measure of reaching our goals. A full-house indicates we have done a good job from programming to promotion.

Unfortunately, we may not know if we were able to entice students to continue playing until long after the grant report is due, and we may never know if they attend any other college or university, but we do have an impact. In nursing homes, we promote clapping, singing or even dancing with the music. In high schools, we attempt to influence students to remain engaged with music after high school. Responses from our Barden Park Survey were extremely favorable to these discussions. We expect to receive similar feedback from our nursing home residents.We converse with residents of the long-term care facilities after the concerts. We will ask the residents to clap, sing along with us or invite them to dance with the music. We will provide surveys for the residents to fill out; possibly also collecting some the next day as the nursing staff will be busy bringing the residents back to their rooms after the concert. The surveys will let us know the types of music residents would like to hear next year. Short-term measurable goals for high school students can be measured by stories from the musicians as we visit with the students as we set up for the final pieces.

Youth Sing Out promotes teamwork. Youth Sing Out promotes collaboration. Each respective choir director teaches fundamental music to the singers during the rehearsals leading up to the performance with high expectations for artistic quality. Singers gain increased self-confidence through rehearsals and performances and a sense of achievement when they know that they have performed well. This type of project also teaches youth that by working together, a choir produces one tremendous sound that one person alone cannot accomplish. It develops and encourages an interest and passion for the arts amongst the singers û they support each other, are able to see and hear the quality sound that is produced, and most certainly, by listening to the other choirs perform, they learn new skills to take back and use in future musical opportunities. Additionally, Youth Chorale provides young singers from The St. JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir and Cantabile GirlsÆ the opportunity to move on to another high artistic organization once they have graduated from their respective choir. Once in 9th grade, they can audition for a spot to become a part of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota.One of the ways to measure our goals is simply through observation û verbal audience reaction, verbal feedback from choir families, ticket sales, and support from the community. Following the concert, and in the weeks to come, the feedback from the children and parents alike will help us determine if our goals were successful, or if anything different needs to be done in preparation for next yearÆs collaborative concert. Another way to measure is that following the concert, singers will then take the skills they learned from rehearsals and performing back to their respective classrooms, places of worship, or community groups. The opportunity for young people to interact with other children who love to sing, and the sustenance and further development of a cultural, musical, community are all benefits we expect to achieve from this project. In addition, our goal to promote a life-long involvement in music can be measured by the number of singers participating in their college choirs and/or choosing music as their career, auditioning for musical theater in their hometowns, and singing at their places of worship. They have a love of singing and are willing to showcase their talents in their communities. There are a number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, St. JohnÆs BoysÆ Choir, and Cantabile GirlsÆ Choir members who have taken it upon themselves to get involved in their communities outside of regular rehearsals.","The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is the only choir specifically for high school singers in a 90-mile radius.

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

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

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

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

Outstanding! … I love to hear the youth sing choral music. … It is great to see the junior choirs getting excellent music training.” We had a 50% increase in survey response from the participating choral directors versus last year, who indicated that the flow of the concert and logistics were very well planned and that the variety of performing groups and music selections were perfect for the type and style of this concert. Each of the directors and their choral groups enjoyed being able to sit in the audience to hear the other ensembles perform, and noted that it was especially important for all groups to have the opportunity to make music with their peers, as well as perform and refine some of their own repertoire. For the Saint John’s Boys’ Choir group “Nova Voce,” (boys whose voices have already changed) it was an opportunity for these ninth grade men to sing with the more mature male voices of the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Men’s group. Both groups collaborated together on one song, and as a result, seven of these young Boys’ Choir men auditioned for a spot in the Youth Chorale after Youth Sing Out and all were accepted into our program for the 2016-17 season! We saw a 28% increase in audition requests for next season as well, with a marked increase in Cantabile and Saint John’s Boys’ Choir singers following this concert. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota didn’t change the number of social media posts in comparison to last year, but instead we were careful of when we posted as well as how we posted (wording, timing, and added a video). As a result, we were able to generate many more post-likes and our reach was greater than in 2015. The number of likes for our posts this year was: 213 (compared to 77 in 2015); the number of people reached this year was: 4,395 (compared to 1,124 in 2015) – a 291% increase of people reached in the community! With the addition of the video, we had 750 unique viewers, 822 people watched the video, and 54% watched the video in its entirety. There was a noticeable increase in ticket sales this year due to the variety of choirs, the number of audience members that they were able to bring, and our marketing efforts. This year, our event brought in 440 audience members versus 350 in 2015. We targeted two south St Cloud neighborhoods in proximity to the venue and sent out an additional 1,498 postcards advertising this concert through Every Door Direct Mail. It is difficult to determine how many audience members attended due to receiving the postcards or seeing the billboards in the St Cloud community, but whether they attended or not, they did see an advertisement for Youth Sing Out and the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. The audience was on their feet at the close of the final piece, “Can You Hear” and post-concert, we received numerous emails about how much our patrons enjoyed the concert.",,3500,"Other, local or private",7657,,"Karen Cash, Susan Cogdill, Chad Holien, Alex Klaers, Guytano Magno, Lexann Reischl, David Tilstra, Andrew Walesch, Kelly Warren, Joann Weber, Ethan Wittrock",0.00,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota proposes a combined concert featuring over 200+ Central Minnesota singers from the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Mixed and WomenÆs Chorales, St John's Boys' Choir Junior Varsity and Concert Choir, and Cantabile ",2016-05-01,2016-05-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-210,"Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations; Lee Ann Goerss: Central Minnesota Arts Board Teaching Artist in visual and literary arts; Shane Mahon: Visual Arts Minnesota board member, multi-media artist; Jeffrey Bleam: Associate Professor of Theatre and Director/Designer at St Cloud State University, costume designer, graphic designer, film/video producer; Frank Haynes: Executive Director for Helping Hands Outreach, organizer, past president of Bismarck-Mandan (North Dakota) Arts Council.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2

Two performances will accommodate audience demand for this concert. Concert attendance will grow by 22% over 2014 holiday concert attendance.; Upon completion of this project the outcomes, which will be measured in large part by an audience survey, as well as the number of tickets sold, are expected to reveal the following: 1. Increased audience satisfaction (as compared to the 2014 survey responses) because of the addition of a second performance which will create more seating and better sight lines for the audience. 2. A 22% increase in audience attendance from the 2014 holiday concert's record-breaking attendance (more than 650 patrons), of which 10% are new audience members. 3.

A modified version of the attached survey will be created for the December 2015 concert and will include additional questions about county of residence and ethnicity. A link to an electronic version of the survey will be available on Great River Chorale's website and Facebook page. Respondents who submit a completed survey will be entered in a drawing to win Great River Chorale's 2014 CD ""A Merry Little Christmas.""

A summary of the data that is collected will be shared with the artistic staff and board of directors and will be used for future planning purposes.""","Specific outcomes achieved as a result of this project include the introduction of music by living Minnesota composers and poetry by living Minnesota poets to audiences and performers who did not previously know these works, the world premieres of two new songs composed for Great River Chorale, and a pre-concert conversation with composer Laura Caviani and poet David Bengtson led by Great River Chorale artistic managing director Mary Kay Geston that explored the origin and inspiration for some of the music and poetry in the concerts. This activity also provided an opportunity for the 30 people in attendance to ask questions and interact with the guest artists. Another outcome of this project is due to advertising in a new radio market (Minnesota Public Radio) in an effort to target an audience interested in classical music. Verbal feedback from several first-time attendees indicated that the MPR advertisements were the single reason they purchased tickets to the concert. Quantitative evaluation of this project was done by counting the number and type of tickets sold, as well as by assessing the manner in which audience members learned about the concerts. Combined ticket sales for both 2015 concerts were 191 seniors, 191 adults, and 42 students, equaling a total of 424 audience members. When buying advance tickets online, purchasers were asked to identify how they learned about the concerts. This data showed that our audience learned about the concerts by (in descending order of frequency) hearing about it from a performer, receiving a seasonal mailer, seeing an online advertisement, reading an article in the Saint Cloud Times, seeing an advertisement in a church newsletter, receiving an email from Great River Chorale, and by word of mouth. Written and verbal feedback from audience members and participating artists provided qualitative feedback and is exemplified in the following comments: ""Wow, your performance yesterday totally exceeded my expectations!"", ""The whole program was so wonderful: seamless transitions between pieces, interesting and varied choice of material, joyous yet professional, too."", ""Thank you for programming and conducting the exceptional Christmas Concerts this weekend."", ""A tenor in our church choir, who is not easily pleased, announced at our rehearsal that his ears were ""happy"" because of the quality of Great River Chorale singing!""",,13673,"Other, local or private",16464,,"Katherine Gardner, Connie Taylor, Dennis Douma, Maureen McCarter, Alex Hennen, Jennifer Pearson Hennen, Mary Geston, Deborah Ferrell",0.00,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Made in Minnesota: Music of the Season",2015-12-04,2015-12-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Kay",Geston,"Great River Chorale","4310 County Rd 137 PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Morrison, Todd, Douglas, Kandiyohi",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-162,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

There will be roughly 195 singers of all ages on stage. We anticipate over 350 audience members. We will look for an overall satisfaction rating of 4/5 on an audience survey. We will look for a high satisfaction rating from choir directors on the offerings of the project. We will reach 5,000 people on Facebook with our multiple concert posts; generate 25 click-throughs to our website; and 200 post likes.; Once completed, ‘A Choral Community’ will have featured between 5-7 Central Minnesota choirs spanning generations and organizations with at least 195 singers of all ages on stage. We anticipate over 390 patrons to have attended this concert compared to last year’s count of 350. We will receive an overall satisfaction rating of at least 4/5 on our audience survey indicating success of the project. We will look for a high satisfaction rating from the participating choir directors on the offering of the project and how it served their organization. After the finale, we will be looking for a favorable audience reaction – verbal and nonverbal (e.g. standing ovation). One more indication of success will be increased activity on our social media profiles. We will reach an estimated 5,000 people on Facebook with our multiple concert posts leading up to the event, and post-event; generate 25 click-throughs to our website, and over 200 post likes, anticipating greater growth from last year. Count number of guest artists on stage. Count ticket sales, anticipating increase over last year. Tally audience survey. Tally survey for guest artists on how this project served them. Use Facebook page Insight Report to determine community reach. Counting ticket sales is one of the evaluation methods that we will use to determine if our marketing and promotional materials were effective (print, email, billboard, online streaming, and website impressions). An observed increase in audience size over last year will indicate success. A survey will be used to determine how we can serve our audiences better at this and future concerts. A paper survey will be available in the lobby for patrons who prefer to fill out a hard copy of a survey, while an online survey will appear as a link in the program, along with the website address and a QR Code for those patrons who use smartphones. Both the paper and online results will be tabulated into a spreadsheet and read amongst the staff of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and its Board of Directors. We will be looking for ratings of 4’s and 5’s (5 = Excellent) on the feedback responses. A separate survey will be conducted and sent to the directors of our guest choirs where we will ask for their feedback on how this project served their particular choir and if they felt that singing with - and for - a difference audience was a good experience. While it will be difficult to determine how many people are reading and seeing our particular advertisement on the billboards, we can say that the estimated number of cars driving past the billboard near St Joseph, Minnesota receives an average of 18,000 cars daily; while the traffic count near the Municipal Athletic Complex in St Cloud receives a daily average of 23,000 vehicles. Audience reactions will be observed during and after the concert and in the weeks to come, new verbal responses will help us determine whether anything different needs to be done in preparation for next year’s collaborative concert. A non-verbal standing ovation at the close of the concert will signify favorable audience reaction. An increase in activity on our social media profiles will point to the success of the event and to the awareness of the choir(s) in general. We will count the number of Facebook “likes” and Twitter “follows” on our sites. We anticipate that our post-concert announcement and/or video will be seen by well over 500 people on our Facebook page, and all post-concert status update replies will be read.","‘A Choral Community’ featured seven (7) Central Minnesota choirs spanning generations and organizations with nearly 250 singers of all ages on stage performing separately and together in a final massed choir piece. There were nearly 450 patrons in the audience for our third annual concert, almost one hundred more than last year, and a greater amount than we had anticipated there to be in the audience. The audience surveys collected indicated mostly 5s because of the quality of the program and the quantity of music and variety of choral organizations represented. We had more patrons fill out the audience survey online than we have had in the past (57 this year, vs. 22 last year). The survey indicated success of this concert and that we are meeting a need in the community. The surveys from participating choral directors indicated that the flow of the concert and logistics were very well planned; and that the variety of performing groups and music selections were spot on. Each of the directors and their choral groups enjoyed being able to sit in the audience to hear the other ensembles perform, recognizing that this was a celebration of choral singing and not a contest. They indicated being extremely willing to participate again in the future. We increased the number of concert posts this year leading up to the event and after the event had concluded. As a result, we were able to generate many more post-likes and our reach was greater than in 2014. The number of likes for our posts this year was: 834 (compared to 374 in 2014); the number of people reached this year was: 10,134 (compared to 5,236 in 2014). There was a marked increase in ticket sales this year, due to the variety of choirs, the number of audience members that they were able to bring, and our marketing efforts. This year, our event brought in 431 audience members versus 357 in 2014. It is difficult to determine how many audience members attended due to seeing the two billboards in the St. Cloud area, but whether they attended or not, they did see an advertisement for ‘A Choral Community’ and the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. The audience was on their feet at the close of the final piece, “The Road Home” and post-concert, we received numerous emails about how much our patrons enjoyed the concert.",,3500,"Other, local or private",7146,,"Karen Cash, Susan Cogdill, Alex Klaers, Guytano Magno, David Tilstra, Andrew Walesch, Kelly Warren, Joann Weber, Jennifer Wildeson, Ethan Wittrock",0.00,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"A Choral Community",2015-11-01,2015-11-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-172,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2

The production will include artistic staff, approximately 80 performers of all ages, and 90 volunteers. Based on past quantitative analysis, approximately 2450 enthusiastic audience members from throughout Central Minnesota will attend these performances. Please note that this number includes both complimentary and paid audience totals. 1) Approximately 2450 adults and children of all ages, economic and cultural backgrounds will experience live theatre performances in a convenient, community environment in Central Minnesota. We estimate that 20% of these audience members will not have been to or been involved in a previous NorthStar production. 2) Ten emerging artists will gain knowledge and real life experience in all facets of theatrical production. 3) Approximately 80 volunteers will have an opportunity to engage with the arts in Central Minnesota. Approximately 60 performers will engage in a high quality theatrical arts experience that will also educate them in multiple musical and chorographic styles. 4) Twenty-five artistic and technical staff members will have collaborated to create this high quality arts experience. Quantitative evaluation number of performances, number of people attending, number of volunteers and performers. Qualitative feedback from participants, staff, audience, volunteers, recording of performances, audience surveys, printed materials document activities. Quantitative: 1. The number of performances. 2. The number of people attending each performance. 3. The number of performers participating. 4. The number of volunteers and volunteer hours garnered by each show. Qualitative: 1. Verbal and written feedback from participants, parents, volunteers, staff, board and audience member. 2. Recording of rehearsals and performances demonstrates artistic quality. 3. Printed materials and website document activities. Although we utilize surveys in our evaluations, we find them to be quite limiting. We also request narrative feedback from our participants. These open ended requests have garnered a much greater return rate then short surveys. Please see the sample survey and an example of a narrative response given by Jennifer Schreiffles.","There were 10 performances with 95 volunteers and 62 performers. Elk River Community Theatre is being revamped because of the experience all of the adult actors had in this show, causing them to want to do more “adult” theater. One mother helped make props from her hospital bed after miscarrying her eighth child, and being diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Several NorthStar Family Theatre families are committed to ensuring that her daughters will be able to participate in the next show. Also, there is a young man who is severely autistic. He started out as a backstage hand four years ago, and didn’t really talk to anyone. Now he’s come so far out of his shell that he acted, danced, and sang a lead role. His mother cried she was so proud of him. Our stage manager has also come out of her shell. A quiet, reserved girl who never took charge, has stage managed several shows for us and has become confident. Her mother sent an email to Artistic Director, Eileen Anderson, thanking her for the wonderful change she’s seen in her daughter over the past few years. Many audience members commented on the fabulous costumes and set. They’ve commented before on the superb quality of acting and singing. Now, thanks to the Central Minnesota Arts Board grant, they thought the set and costumes were up to the level of the acting and singing. There is a DVD of the show, and there are program fliers. All of the cast members benefitted from the experience and opportunities for artistic and personal growth provided by this project. A new demographic of audience members connected with and enjoyed this performing arts experience. NorthStar's Emerging Artists Conservatory members gained valuable experience in a variety of performing and technical aspects of show production. Audience totals are carefully tracked by the Box Office Manager and are reported above. Cast, crew, and staff members are listed in the Christmas Carol program. Volunteer hour logs are maintained by our Volunteer Coordinator. This statistical information, while very important, does not represent the most significant outcome of all. NorthStar believes that the true value of any arts experience is the way in which it changes people's lives.

We will monitor attendance both online and in-person, plus evaluate how many viewed after the stream. The experience viewing options will be advertised prior to the concert via Facebook and Around the Cloud. Students will study through the Discovery Class how composers connected locations/lands to music. This will include composers' lives, their heritage, listening examples, and potentially performing pieces from Baroque to modern times. CMYO plans to have a guest from St Cloud State University visit during the Discovery Class to talk about Native Americans' connection to music and nature.

Increasing access to fine arts programming and performing during the ""off season"" of the summer months while schools are out of session. 2. Increasing support for additional learning of instruments, ensemble skills, musical fundamentals and techniques, musicianship, and artistic mastery. 3. Increasing a sense of community within the ensemble of musicians, both amongst the players, but also the mentor players and the directors. There is also a social-emotional learning component that feeds into the sense of community that is built over an entire summer session...and even over years of membership. These outcomes can be measured by also including a pre-survey as the summer session kicks off. We can look for areas of growth in all of these areas and see if we need to find additional support systems throughout the summer session. In addition to formal surveys, we are always engaging in conversational feedback, doing various formative assessments, and refining the needs of the ensemble as a whole in order to keep progressing towards our final concert. We also believe that the musicians who participate in the Monticello Community Strings Orchestra will not only increase their ability, technique, and musicianship as a direct result from our summer program and the mentorship staff, but will also increase their personal confidence levels in their pathway towards mastery on their instrument and ensemble-playing skills. Due to the more informal weekly rehearsal set-up, participants are also more likely to contribute in both musical feedback and socially with their ensemble peers, thus growing a greater sense of teamwork and personal identity. Families of the students musicians, in particular, are also appreciative of the special friendships and connections that are formed by their students over the summer months. We will ask participants to fill out an ""end-of-course"" google survey asking a multitude of questions about their experience with the Monticello Community Strings Orchestra summer session. We then format all of their responses into a numeric feedback rating form and look at what worked and what needed improving upon for our next summer session. We had a bit of difficulty getting everyone to take the survey this past summer, even with the Google Survey format, so we are planning to take time during one of our final rehearsals or at the final concert for musicians to reflect and respond to the survey. We have attached a sample of a survey that we used at this past summer's session.","Outcomes were measured by three key factors: number of attendees (virtual); audience feedback, and staff evaluation.

Hill Museum and Manuscript Library,? at least 100 adult and 50 youth will learn first-hand about cultures in Minnesota from across the world through their ancient manuscript traditions. Participants will experience presentations featuring various forms of the art of the book from ancient times to the present from Muslim, Egyptian Coptic Christian, Austrian and the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem and Malta traditions. The presentations will tie the cultures and work of central Minnesota to those of places across the globe, increasing understanding through information and education. Participants will also have the opportunity to see original books and manuscripts at each of the four partnering central Minnesota county historical societies through the traveling exhibits that will be at each location throughout the series. As a result of the project, at least 100 adult and 50 youth will have a greater understanding of Minnesota's varied and continuously growing cultural heritage, increasing their knowledge and capacity to appreciate those with whom they share the state. The awareness and empathy the project seeks to create will help foster better understanding within the central Minnesota community and the world. Attendance numbers for each event in the series will be collected and documented. Audience comments, whether verbal or via the chat feature in Zoom, will be collected and documented by site staff and volunteers for each presentation in the series and included in event reports. A short post-event survey will be sent to each attendee to gauge the success of the series and its impact. Comments generated in the future from those viewing the post-event recordings will also be reviewed and will inform future programming.","We increased attendees to our concerts and built connections within our community.

We will target Zimmerman, Princeton, Elk River, and Big Lake for relationships with ""cornerstone partners."" We hope to develop partnerships with them for services in their area, following the partnership we already have established with Union UCC in Elk River. 3. We continue meeting with local for-profit institutions like Guardian Angels, and other home care facilities like the BEE HIVE, health care groups, offering teaching sessions or programing at their location. (i.e. Engle Haus in Albertville) 4. We will work with Tri-Cap and Trail Blazer bus/van services in the transportation of our participants. That will expand access to Sherburne and Wright County residents. 5. RSVP, under the leadership of Heather Brook gives us access for community volunteers. Local, sponsoring sites also assist with volunteers. 6. SCA United Way's board and the advisory board from Art Bright are constantly giving us insights about our audience and their needs. UWay is a direct conduit to the community and its resources. 7. We will access resources from Central MN Council on Aging. Ben Byker is our point of contact. 8.

We will continue to offer service groups, faith groups, youth clubs, etc. programming which will promote resources and understanding of our goals. 10. We continue to use hard print news outlets like the STAR NEWS, and radio outlets. Access Outcomes: A. Goal of six, four week, in-person sessions shall be offered in the region. B. Goal of no less than four ""cornerstone partnerships"" within the region will be formed. We target Big Lake, Elk River, Zimmerman and Princeton. C.

Finally, a primary goal is to increase community awareness and build participation. Archival records will indicate numbers of participants, volunteers, sessions, and anecdotal quotes. Learning: Related to Art and Cultural Understanding The visual arts and sensory exploration we use in ART BRIGHT offer experiences for aging populations which may have never experienced art before. It many rural schools, like those our participants experienced as children, few offered art education classes in the curriculum. Certainly few had a K-12 sequence for art classes. Some of our participants voice their surprise at the hidden talents they demonstrate. Paula Benfer designs every ART BRIGHT class around a theme which is compatible with all cultures. For instance, the theme of ""Schools"" may be used to spark conversation. An appropriate image for ""Descriptive Review"" is a painting of a girl with a black eye, sitting in the principal's office. It was created by Norman Rockwell. As participants describe and review the image, they begin to tell their own stories about missteps that led to disciplinary action in their life. Then the participants are moved to social time. Paula collects objects like a lunch box, year books, an apple, school photos, report cards, etc. They are in the middle of the table; when people have their treats and coffee, she calls them to the large table by ringing a brass school bell. She invites someone to write on her grandmother's slate with chalk, and she uses a Power Point to project images of ""school days.""

However, the biggest outcome for us is inspiring the students to higher musical goals and instilling life-long appreciation for the arts: an outcome that sometimes will be years in the making, and cannot always be immediately measured in a quantitative manner. Students have expressed that the program has encouraged them to pursue higher personal goals for themselves (and not just music-related), encouraged them to further their music education, and provides a safe environment for them to express themselves through a unique musical outlet. We have many anecdotal stories each year from parents and former students about how this program has truly changed the lives of participants whether they go on to pursue a musical career or not. Many parents say that it has been the best program their child has ever experienced. Recently we've had students telling us how they met friends in the School of Rock, have gathered to practice in the months after the camp, and now they perform at coffee shops and in parks. 1) 2019 and 2021 registration information is used to measure actual enrollment numbers and compare to prior years for return rate calculations and elevation of student to student instructor role. 2) Concert program will list each band and their musical selections as well as instructor names and student instructors. 3) Quantity of tickets sales for final concert will determine if we have met concert attendance goals 4) Survey given to families following the camp provides feedback as to the perceptions of the organization of the event, the safety of students while in our care, and the more qualitative outcomes through comments that parents include. 5) Notes are taken by the 3 admin staff as they oversee the camp and monitor the classes in action.

The program will include continuous evaluation methods that will help artists make adjustments throughout the project as well as a deeper look into the overall impact and outcomes of the project. ; Continuous evaluation: Project leader Molly Huus, teaching artists, and art assistants will hold planning meetings prior to the launch of the program to implement the recommendations from the previous year and, like last year, will hold weekly meetings to check in about what's working, what isn't working, how to make adjustments, and to develop immediate solutions to problems. Post-project assessments will delve into what we learned, what we can do better next year, and what we need to do better to create an environment in which the children will thrive. Evaluating outcomes: When working with children, teaching artists and artist assistants will use verbal participant assessment questions and personal observations to measure outcomes. Sample questions to engage students in creative thinking, critiquing their work, and problem solving: 1. How did you come up with the idea for your project? 2. What was your favorite part of making this art? 3. What problems did you experience and how did you solve them? 4. How were you feeling when you created it? These assessment questions will be adapted to fit teens as well as adapted to fit other art forms, including dance and theatre. In addition, teaching artists and art assistants will design supportive environments that help teach social emotional skills as well as being intentional about using ""ah-ha"" teaching moments. The evaluation information will be used to assess both the process and the outcomes: 1) Process data: was there adequate space, were there late-comers that disrupted the process, were there enough materials, what were the advantages/disadvantages of mixing ages, were there enough art assistants, etc. 2) Outcome data: what made this experience meaningful, what did participants find challenging, what kinds of projects were more or less successful, etc. Evaluation methods include: 1) Sign-in sheets to track participation rates and demographics 2) Surveys to gain a deeper understanding of whether their experience was meaningful and what made it meaningful. 3) Assessment of completed artwork by art instructors and art assistants 4) Observations of the level of energy, cooperation, and enjoyment being expressed by participants during and after the art experiences.","We wanted to host more events, but were realistically able to host a robust reception and the Our Narratives open mic night with a decent attendance of at least 50 people each time.

There will be live music, guest speakers, poets.; One of the benefits for artists applying to be in this show is it will give 30 artists an opportunity to have their work shown at the Whit Gallery, and possibly win an award. Winners will be publicized giving the participants recognition. An additional 10 pieces will go to the Good Earth Coop giving a total of 40 artists a chance to be in this show. This event is to provide for artists an opportunity to exhibit a piece that focuses on the envirnment. It is hoped that this experience will encourage artists to do more work focused on the envirnment, as well as keep up on community deveopment in regards to envirnmental concerns. In the completion of this exhibit, we anticipate that this will have a lasting effect, igniting future energetic conversation around the topics of global warming and the environment. In order to evaluate this rather qualitative and challenging metric, we will utilize social media platforms and simple surveying tools in our programming. The main goal of this event is to encourage artists to go beyond their comfort zones and use their work to promote better care of the evironment. We hope that this show inspires and encourages participants to not only enjoy and appreciate the art, but to take individual action to curb global warming. It is also to inform the community of what is going on at a national level and what each person can do to encourage further awareness in this community.

The quantitative tools will include social media impressions. physical and online participation, and added support from local leadership and organizations. Qualitative evaluation will include before and after reflection papers by students, onsite ""How Might We"" interactive prompts at the gallery and coop, and online prompts that encourage social media engagement. How many people view the art show at the gallery and coop will also be used to measure the success of the event. There will be a survey that will be handed out at the art show event and left out for a month at Whit gallery . Participants will be encouraged to fill it out and give their opinion of the event. The survey results will be tallied and results will be used for the purpose of future art shows and guest speakers in the Saint Cloud area. The second method of measuring the success of the project is the number of students and adults who attend the guest speakers presentation on the CSBSJU Campus.This will be used to measure the interest in the topic and concern of the community. In partnership with the Environmental Studies Department, students will be asked to reflect on how the arts can be used to promote awareness of global warming in their classes before and after the event. Then, to reverse this reflection, we will engage with the CSBSJU art department students to reflect on the exchange between sectors of science and art. Also how many people follow up by watching a zoom presentation of the guest speaker event will be used to measure interest in the topic. People will be encouraged to go downtown to see the show at the gallery and guest speaker, reflecting on the importance of the arts as a means to promote the well being of the environment in this community, and beyond. We will specifically measure the following: 1. The impact of presentation, the speakers and participants expressing their concerns for the environment 2. Measuring the effects the art show has on topic for participants 3. Measuring how the art show and overall program affects the concern of participants and policy of our local commu","Possibly the most important impact, is that I have a functional studio in which I can now create projects, frame works, and entertain visiting curators and interested clients and general public.

The singers and audience will have heard and appreciated connections between traditional choral music, original compositions, and popular music in performance.; Singers will have the opportunity to work directly with living composers and performers, to gain a better understanding of music-making, improvisation, building harmony and arranging. The audience will have heard a more intimate style of singing. We plan to pre-assess and post-assess singers on skills, knowledge, and understanding based on the finalized curriculum with Nation. Our typical audience survey will include questions specifically on Nation's performance, and connections they may have drawn with the music they performed and typical YCCM concerts. Directors and staff will meet to review the sessions and the concert. The first step will be directors asking specific questions of each other regarding the sessions that were presented and reviewing singer surveys. Directors will work through some of the approaches and processes Nation used in their sessions with YCCM and how they can effectively be used as skill-builders in our regular rehearsal process. That will be followed by reviewing concert surveys, and holding our routine all-staff ?After Concert Review.? In that review, we will examine how the project aligned with our objectives, what was successful, and what learnings we can take away from the experience.; We will utilize pre- and post- session surveys with singers, post-concert surveys for our audience, and utilize our After Concert Review with our staff.","Singers had the opportunity to work with living composers and performers to gain a better understanding of music making, improvisation, building harmony and arranging.

Audience members will learn about this through a display in the lobby, articles and information in the program book, and memories shared from the stage. -Understand the significance of MCC's 50-year history in the arts landscape of Central Minnesota. Audience members will learn about this through a display in the lobby, articles and information in the program book, and memories shared from the stage. We will measure these outcomes through a written survey and in-person conversations in the lobby following the concert. Long-term success will be measured through increases in audience and choir members for next year's season. ; Approximately 300 people will attend the concert; attendees will learn about the Chorale, its history and founder Phil Welter, native American arts and culture in Minnesota, and the work of Minnesota composers past and present MCC expects approximately 350 audience members to attend the concert. We expect to sell 150 adult, 150 senior, and 50 student tickets. This would be a total increase in ticket sales of approximately 17%. Audience members complete a brief educational survey and submit their results to the MCC Operations Coordinator. We expect a minimum of 50 audience members to provide written feedback through this survey (attached). We will offer a prize drawing to encourage survey participation. From these surveys, MCC will learn how well audience members met the outcomes set for the concert (described above), how many audience members learned new things, and how the audience connected with the music. The patron survey will also assess audience reactions, improvements needed, desired future programming, and basic demographic information. We anticipate at least 85% of those surveyed to say they definitely or probably will attend another MCC concert. We also hope for at least 5 new names to add to our marketing/mailing/email list. Project Director Nicole Lambrecht will obtain verbal feedback from the musicians and program collaborators. MCC's Operations Coordinator keeps track of attendance figures through ticket sales and will report the findings. MCC members will discuss verbal and written feedback at the June 2023 Board Meeting and will assess the amount of knowledge gained through the paper patron surveys. We anticipate 90% of current choir members will continue singing in our next season and that we will add new members. This year's efforts have already recruited several auditions for next season. As a result of the pandemic, both our membership and audience declined. As a result of this celebratory concert, we anticipate an increase in membership and audience going forward. ; Attendance figures, survey data collection, formal and informal post-concert discussion","MCC presented a successful concert highlighting the state of Minnesota, its arts, culture, and peoples.

They will continue to play their instruments during the summer (a time of year that can get busy and result in less playing of instruments unless there is a scheduled time for playing to happen). Participants will have become a little better at performing their instruments and will have gained confidence in their ability. Our effort is targeted towards young musicians, and with improved ability and confidence, should follow increased familial support. It is very common, on concert night, to see multiple generations of family gathered around the performers in the high school lobby, and often these ""clusters"" merge. The best measure of this achievement is overall satisfaction of participants for the course, questions regarding ""encouragement and enjoyment"". Our final concert, free and open to the public, is held at Monticello High School's Performing Arts Center. The school is located in the middle of Monticello, has a free and easily accessible parking lot, and the PAC is large, comfortable, and accessible to all. This is a very significant arts event for Monticello and parents of musicians and other individuals with district attachments respond. For our 2022 concert, the community education staff sent out an e-mail advertising the concert to all school families, which may have been responsible for the large audience we experienced. Families remained in the commons area for some time after the concert, conversing and, hopefully, reviewing the musical experience.; About 80 learning musicians will meet for rehearsal seven times and then meet finally to perform a free public concert. We measure outcomes in two ways. First is a weekly attendance of who was present. High rehearsal attendance suggests that we are successful in matching music difficulty and instruction presentation to our students' needs. We also have musicians fill out a post-program evaluation in Google Forms, which is what we submit a sample of. Both sets of data are reviewed as the next year's program is being developed. We particularly look (and listen) for comments on music difficulty. We want the program to be challenging at times, yet create an enjoyable and rewarding playing experience.; We will take attendance and conduct an on-line course evaluation after the program ends.","Our participants met for six rehearsals, a dress rehearsal, and then final concert.

Removing economic and physical barriers will promote the exploration of artistic interests with fewer obstacles. Individuals with disabilities will be supported to express themselves through the art of painting. The Artist's instruction is geared to address all levels of ability. Individualized attention will encourage self-expression and creativity. Using positive reinforcement, supporting staff will help build confidence. Individuals will be supported to participate in the activity in ways that are meaningful to them, independent of others' talents or skills. Participants will learn about ways to engage cognitively, emotionally, and socially, by tapping into sensory and motor skills. Engagement will be supported based on individual need. For some, this may mean learning to follow instructions to best replicate the painting. For others, it may mean supporting appropriate social interactions during instruction, while for others it may include building motor skills to hold the brush. Participants will learn about the different brushes and techniques taught, resulting in improved artistic skills. The instruction provided will teach the participants about brush sizes and strokes used in painting. They will be taught about the combination of colors that create new colors. They will be taught to position the canvas in particular ways to achieve desired results. This instruction will prepare them to make decisions on how they wish to apply what they have learned. Displaying completed art work in the community will provide a connection with the businesses that display them. In turn, community businesses, and the customers who frequent these establishments, will obtain further knowledge about people of all abilities living and working in their community, potentially creating future artistic opportunities. These changes will promote vibrant inclusive communities in central Minnesota.; There were five outcomes identified in the proposal. They include increased access to the arts; increased self-expression; increased engagement, improved artistic skills, and increased community awareness of the options program. Proposed activities covered in this request will be evaluated by having each participant complete an annual evaluation survey. Because individuals communicate using a variety of modes, staff will assist each person to complete the written survey, interpreting responses for those who have verbal or written communication challenges. Evaluating the proposed outcomes will provide Options' staff to understand if the individuals have learned from the instruction. Results will determine if the instruction has been effective in positively influencing the attitudes and behavior(s) of the individuals. It will take into consideration as to whether or not individuals can transfer learned information into alternative environments, in natural settings, external to the Options' facility. This feedback will allow Options' staff to make adjustments, tailoring future activities to the interests and abilities of the participants. Anecdotal feedback will influence evaluation processes as well. Observation and verbal feedback will be obtained from individuals participating in the day's instruction.

10028866,"Project Grant",2023,8000,,"ACHF Arts Education","There are a variety of expected outcomes once the proposal is complete. 1. Access: Students will experience increased access to the arts via the reduction in geographic, cultural and physical barriers. The entire idea/purpose behind the Senior Art-Reach program is to increase older adult access to the arts. We understand that older adults face a vairety of barriers to participating in artistic opportunities including cost, transportation, health, physical, etc. The Senior Art-Reach program is designed to address these barriers and bring artistic opportunities to older adults who are unable to get to the art center. We have extensive experience working with older adults through our in-house and offsite older adult classes. We have created an ADA Access plan and have received grant funding from MRAC in the past to increase the accessibility to our art classes, specifically for individuals with disabilities as many older adults are part of this population. After this project is complete, there will be increased access to artistic opportunities in Region 7W. 2. Learning: Students will experience a change in knowledge and attitude. They will have increased knowledge of different artists and artistic techniques. As part of each class, students will create a project inspired by a particular artist and will learn a little bit about the life, work and techniques of the artist. Projects will be inspired by a variety of diverse artists from history as well as the present such as Frida Kahlo, Kathe Kollwitz, Diego Velazquez, Camille Claudel, and more. Students will gain new skills in different visual art mediums and each class they take will build upon the knowlege and skills learned in previous classes. In addition to a change in knowledge and attitude, students will also experience a change in behavior or condition. The Senior Art-Reach program will provide numerous benefits for older adults including a sense of community and improved well-being. Past feedback surveys from our older adult program participants show that 82% of participants improved creative expression; 77% increased mental engagement; 74% formed new/stronger relationships; and 51% were encouraged to participate in other community activities. 3. Community: Students will build connections to their own and others' cultural hertitage. Our Senior ArtReach program is a community outreach program. It is completely community based. One of the major goals of the Senior Art-Reach program is to build community and foster new relationships and friendships among older adults and provide ways for older adults to get involved in the community. The Senior Art-Reach program provides older adults with the opportunity to socialize and connect with other members of their community and helps them to build long lasting friendships. The older adults that participate in the classes are from a wide range of different cultural heritages/ backgrounds.

10028452,"Project Grant",2023,8000,,"ACHF Arts Access","Our inaugural concert of the 2023-2024 season, ""A toast to 29 years!"" will feature programming of classic overtures leaving audience members hungry for the next act. Grant funding will permit us to offer no-cost access to exciting and enticing programming, and this reduction in a financial barrier will allow a wider number of members of our community to participate in a live performance experience. Through concert notes, a pre-concert director chat, and direct contact with the music and musicians, audience members will become more deeply connected with music both new and familiar. Even in our rural community, folks can connect with high quality arts experiences because of grant funding. Due to the energizing nature of overtures, audience members might shift their perception of orchestral music from pretentious and academic to fun and entertaining. They will no doubt recognize some of the tunes and be able to build on their existing familiarity of the music. Musicians too appreciate familiar music. Audience members will have the opportunity to see their fellow community members performing and connecting with music on stage in a different context than how we normally view each other. Our BCO members are scientists, teachers, farmers healthcare providers, stay at home parents, students and everything in between ranging in age from 15 to 70. Our post-concert reception allows musicians and audience members to join in fellowship, breaking down the barrier between performer and spectator. From start to finish, audience members will feel comfortable learning from, connecting with and enjoying this engaging repertoire of overtures. Following the concert we will have a written survey for audience members to complete that will identify those attending a BCO concert for the first time and if the fact that it was a open to the public with no admission charge made a difference in their attendance. We hope to have a minimum of 10% our audience be attending for the first time. We will also solicit ideas for future possible programs. As always, we will do a post concert evaluation from our orchestra members to identify if the variety of music was of interest, if the difficulty was appropriate yet challenging and if they have other feedback to provide ot our staff or board. ; We will use member feedback, audience size and audience comments to evaluate success. Audience members will be surveyed after the concert during our post-concert reception. Please see the attached sample survey. Orchestra members will be informally evaluated using a quick poll at our next rehearsal after the concert to assess the value they got out of the performance cycle on metrics such as music selection and the rehearsal and concert experiences. We will use a fun and enjoyable format with a dot sticker and flip chart for members to choose their favorite piece that we played and to rate the rehearsal and concert experience. ; We issue tickets (senior, adult, youth) to visitors as they enter and collect those a few moments later as they enter the auditorium. Comments are gathered during the post concert reception.","We had very strong attendance for our first concert of the season - one of the strongest in our history.

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

When the ArtSoup ladle is purchased, it will mark the first sculpture of the Elk River Area Arts Alliance's sculpture garden. In the future, it is our plan for the sculpture garden to be used by local artists to display and sell their sculptural pieces. This will fulfill the Elk River Area Arts Alliance's goal of offering both two- and three-dimensional art for sale. All future sculptures in the sculpture garden will be approved by the Elk River Area Arts Alliance Gallery Committee. 2. Occupying the ideal location at the intersection of Main Street and the Parrish Avenue bridge over the Mississippi River, and just half a block off of Highway 10, the sculpture garden will serve as an attraction for the downtown area of Elk River. 3. We anticipate that the sculpture garden will increase attendance and sales for the Elk River Area Arts Alliance and other downtown businesses. 4. Finally, the sculpture garden will demonstrate another way to celebrate and cultivate the arts and art experiences.The permanent installation of the ArtSoup ladle is easily measured and will mark the official beginning of the Elk River Area Arts Alliance’s sculpture garden. The Elk River Area Arts Alliance Board and committees will review future additions to the sculpture garden and any necessary maintenance. The ArtSoup ladle and sculpture garden will also be included in surveys of attendees at events to gauge the public's engagement with and appreciation of this addition.","1. Now that the sculpture has been completed, it allows future artists to add to the sculpture garden. The goal is to offer the artists a place to display and sell their sculptural pieces as well. 2. The sculpture, located on Main Street-- at the intersection of Main Street and Parrish Avenue--at the bridge over the Mississippi River and right off of Highway 10--offers a landmark and attraction to the downtown area that was never present before. 3. The sculpture garden can be used to attract others to other businesses as well as the art gallery, offering an increase in exposure and in sales to the local businesses. 4. The sculpture that has been completed by the generosity of the Central Minnesota Arts Board dollars, and adding to it, other sculptures, provides another unique manner in which to celebrate and cultivate the arts and the full art experience. The public's engagement and appreciation for this new sculpture has been noted by many visitors to the gallery. Stacy Reiseck, the gallery director, takes note of the comments and questions about the sculpture. This year's Art Soup Festival will include, in its survey, the remarks of the public on the new piece right next to the gallery entrance. Local business owners, as well as the chamber staff, have used the sculpture in describing the downtown area. The renters of the apartments in the building where the gallery is located, have shared that the sculpture adds a new dimension to their outdoor, grilling space--a unique conversation starter for their guests.",,4500,"Other, local or private",19500,1378,"Dave Raymond, Wendy Simenson, Jack Holmes, Dennis Chuba, Mark Haglund, James Zachowski, Sara Hartman",,"Elk River Area Arts Alliance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Public Art",,"ArtSoup Ladle and Sculpture Garden",2014-06-15,2015-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sheri,Olson,"Elk River Area Arts Alliance","609 Main St PO Box 737","Elk River",MN,55330,"(763) 389-0667 ",sheri_olson@yahoo.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Anoka, Benton, Hennepin, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/public-art-3,"Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.","Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.",,No

Another outcome will be people gaining more insight into the methods Parker uses, along with a deeper look at his artistic journey through an artist interview video we will create upon installation. These have been extremely popular so far. Those who might not be involved in sport fishing will learn about another thing Monticello is known for, that may not have been on their radar until this installation. It will be likely to help spread the word regarding this bass fishing destination in MN. Another outcome we hope for, is to keep people interested in seeing more sculpture in Monticello in the future. This will be good for all regional sculptors, and the network of sculptors swept into our orbit from the previous RFP, who've all expressed an interest in future opportunities in Monticello. The local landmark outcome will be self-evident. We'll also likely see social media posts featuring the new sculpture. Views of the video and comments will tell us if that has made the impact we hoped for. These are something the public has come to expect from us, and area artists in particular enjoy these in-depth interviews. The conversation around ""why this here?"" we'll facilitate prior to installation will help educate the public about the significance of bass fishing in this area. We will be able to tell by public feedback online and in person at the unveiling whether people are excited about this and whether they continue to ask about sculpture in Monticello.","When publicizing the park and boat launch we will use images of the sculpture. Social media posts by fishermen will indicate we've successfully used this piece of art to raise the profile of the boat launch. Parker's sculpture has been extremely popular with the public.

Unused wells allow contaminants to travel deep into the ground, bypassing the natural protection usually provided by layers of clay, silt, and other geologic materials. Unused wells can also be a physical hazard for humans and animals. It’s estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of unsealed wells in Minnesota. ","Grantees hire Minnesota licensed well contractors to seal their unseal, unused well(s). MDH staff inspect the wells for proper sealing.

The District will address sources of phosphorus and sediment for three important surface waters in the County. In all, phosphorus will be reduced by 355 pounds and sediment will be reduced by 400 tons per year. 400 feet of eroding streambank on the Rum River will be stabilized with stream barbs. Stream barbs will create structure in the stream which is desirable for fish habitat. Native trees and shrubs will be planted to stabilize soils and provide habitat. The Rum River is regionally important as a State Water Trail and is known for its smallmouth bass fishery. 670 feet of eroding lakeshore on Lake Fremont will be stabilized using innovative bio-engineering methods that will restore native shrubs and grasses on the lakeshore. Lake Fremont is a priority lake for improvement in Sherburne County, known regionally for its northern pike fishery. In older areas of Elk River, stormwater is piped directly to the Mississippi River. Urban runoff carries phosphorus and sediment impairing habitat and recreation. This reach of the Mississippi is designated by the State as a Wild and Scenic River and provides excellent walleye and smallmouth bass fishing.

We have not had any incidents of singers suffering injury to date, but having the rails in place would give more peace of mind. Recording concerts, both with the Digital Recorder and without, will be compared side by side to determine if the outcome of higher fidelity recordings has been achieved. Effectiveness of use in rehearsal will be measured by asking singers who did and did not listen to rehearsal recordings. These questions would then indicate their knowledge of what was introduced and covered in the rehearsal that they missed.","The first time that the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota will be able to put our new riser backs and rails to use will be on October 21, 2012, which is the date of our first concert this season.

The most important outcome is increased staff and volunteer productivity. All of these purchases, Vectorworks Spotlight and Renderworks software, Juki sewing machine, LG washing machine, and the Consew clothes iron, will enable Great River Educational Arts Theatre's artistic employees and volunteers to complete their work more efficiently with higher quality outcomes. For example, our current costume shop washing machine leaks, is in need of expensive repairs, and puts our office at risk of flooding and water damage. This requires unnecessary staff time to do basic tasks like dumping the overflow tray and constantly monitoring of the machine. The machineÆs spin cycle is also inadequate requiring a second spin cycle at the end of every load. The purchase of an LG high-efficiency washer will eliminate these unnecessary staff tasks. Another example of increased productivity can be demonstrated with the purchase of the Consew gravity feed steam iron. The reliability and quality of the steam and heat from the gravity feed iron will produce much higher results in a shorter period of time when compared to the current costume iron. A second measurable outcome achieved by these capital purchases, specifically the Vectorworks Spotlight and Renderworks 2012 software, is increased communications. The set designer, technical director, set builders, carpenters, and volunteers will have the increased capability to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs across multiple formats for staging and lighting. The software enables interface with multiple staff and volunteers and provides access to additional design resources and libraries. These resulting images can then be imported and exported in multiple formats, thereby enhancing communications. A third measurable outcome of these capital purchases will be an increase in staff and volunteer training. The Vectorworks software, the industrial sewing machine, and the industrial gravity feed clothes iron are all newer technologies the staff and volunteers will utilize to achieve greater results. As a community theatre our success is based on our staff and volunteer's skill attainment.Great River Educational Arts Theatre's 2011-12 season has been a year of information gathering, self-reflection, and listening to the needs of the community. We have surveyed all of our patrons asking for feedback on their mainstage performance experience, inquiring what they would like to see on the stage next season, and soliciting any other comments to ensurethe TheatreÆs excellence. All of this work is in preparation for our 15th anniversary season, which we will be celebrating in 2012-13. Next season we will be growing our participation opportunities for actors, volunteers, and patron. This engagement directly reflects our mission statement: Great River Educational Arts Theatre creates meaningful experiences for artists and audiences of all ages."" As we have been evaluating our product this season, next season we will be assessing our process. All of our staff and volunteers will be asked to complete surveys about their participation, their involvement, and their artistic and technical growth. This analysis, conducted from September 2012 û July 2013, will help us measure the achievement of our intended outcomes: increased productivity, increased communications, and increased technical training.""","GREAT Theatre has several measurable outcomes that were achieved with these capital purchases.

The mural panels were completely sketched out after 5 working days. To complete this, students had to measure and use the grid transfer system to create accurate proportions of their source photographs and sketches. Then the sketches were successfully transferred to the panels. Students learned to transition ideas from word based brainstorming to visual based expression. After the initial introduction to murals, the students brainstormed possible themes for the mural. A theme of local landmarks was agreed upon, which inspired a few students and one parent to take reference photos. Students then created drawings that were proportionate to the final panels, and made editing and compositional decisions to enhance the specific landmark and tie it into the overall mural design. One student went so far as to create a digital sketch of the 10th mural panel (including a detailed silhouette of an elk).

ALP's 2022-2023 cohort is currently in progress. Between the two cohorts, LatinoLEAD staff in collaboration with leaders across sectors revised the curriculum to better meet the needs of the Latine community. The current cohort has had very positive feedback on the programming to date. Here are written comments from one of our participants:Good morning, esteemed guests, faculty members, and my fellow graduates. It is an honor to stand before you today as we celebrate our graduation. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us throughout this transformative journey. This includes everyone here, those who are not here with us now, and those who are with us in spirit. As I reflect on my experience in the program, three words come to mind: discovering, empowering, and healing. Each of us has had a unique path, and I have been moved by the vulnerability and strength displayed by my fellow cohort members as we created and shared our stories of self. Growing up as a member of the Latino community, I have faced numerous challenges. From discrimination to incarceration, hurdles in accessing capital to being affected by the housing crisis, I have encountered my fair share of adversity. I've had to navigate collection calls, immigration discussions within my family, and the pain of witnessing friends and family deported or self-deported. Moments of fear, frustration, and grief have left their mark. You might look at someone who has faced these obstacles and wonder how they haven't already quit and become totally resigned. The LatinoLEAD ALP revealed a truth that I had with me all along but was undistinguished, I learned the importance of taking risks despite the environment and persevering even in the face of failure. These experiences have fueled my determination to bring about positive change, ensuring that future generations do not suffer unjustly. One of the invaluable lessons we learned in this program is the Social Change Ecosystem Framework. It has allowed us to identify the unique roles we can play within the broader ecosystem. For me, one role I aspire to is that of a healer. I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and addressing the underlying wounds that plague our communities. Healers are conscious of the various layers, wounds, and traumas that need attention at multiple levels (individually, organizationally, and societally) and understand their interconnections. Healers recognized the importance of holding space for our wounds while also offering approaches to transform them into wisdom and strength. They refocus our attention on accountability and repair while guiding us through moments and spaces of deep vulnerability. Looking at the incredible group of graduates before me, I am in awe. We represent a tapestry of backgrounds, spanning all sectors from non-profits to government, education to the private sector. We come from different walks of life, diverse countries, and varied immigration experiences. We are beautiful, and we are powerful. Together, we embody the potential to become the transformational leaders our communities need. As we move forward, let us remember that our impact extends far beyond our individual spheres of influence. Together, we can collaborate, support one another, and ignite a collective fire that will blaze a trail of progress. However, this will require us to take risks, to connect, to work, to listen, to share, to demand, to show up. Personal narratives have the power to foster social change. By sharing our stories and values, we can disrupt the dominant narrative that often marginalizes and silences us. Our stories can challenge stereotypes, shift perspectives, and inspire action. As we step into our roles as leaders, let us be intentional about amplifying diverse voices. Let us create platforms and initiatives that empower others to share their narratives and experiences. By doing so, we not only uplift individuals but also contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable society. In conclusion, I implore you, my fellow graduates and all those present, to embrace risk, fail beautifully, and repeat. Take that leap of faith, knowing that failure is not the end but a stepping stone on the path to success. Develop a callus for failure. Let us be unafraid to learn from our mistakes and persevere in the face of adversity. Keep moving forward. In our pursuit of social change, let us be the change-makers, the bridge-builders, and the healers, weavers, experimenters, frontline responders, visionaries, builders, caregivers, disrupters, storytellers, and guides our communities need. Together, we can create a future where everyone's voice is valued, where justice and equality prevail, and where no one is left behind. A future of equity, liberation, justice, and solidarity. As we embark on our individual journeys, let us remember the power of unity, the strength of our collective voice, and the resilience that resides within us. Congratulations, ALP Class of 2023.

","We had a great first session at the end of February. As participants came in, we handed them a short survey to understand what their hopes were for the classes, and we plan to incorporate their suggestions and questions into the remaining sessions. During the first class, we learned how to say a few common greetings like ""Hello"" and ""My name is"". We also learned a bit about the history of Somalia as a country and found out that Somali has only been a written language since the 1970s! Participants asked questions about everything from refugee camps to life as a Muslim woman in Minnesota. Everyone loved trying a variety of sambusas, Somali tea, malawah (Somali pancake), and madhasi (Somali fried bread). Many people stayed after class to hang out in the cafe and talk more with Farhiya, our session leader, and her sisters. With COVID-19 came the negative result of us not being able to host our sessions at Nori Cafe, or anywhere else in person, for that matter. In talks with Farhiya and Nori Cafe, they said they would be willing to teach these sessions via Zoom. This took more time for our facilitator and organizer to organize and plan around, so we proposed using the food budget as extra stipend for Farhiya and Unite Cloud, since the food wouldn't be possible for the remaining sessions. We had postponed our March class, unsure at that time if things would be ""back to normal"" by April or not. When the Governor announced extended social distancing for April we decided to move that class to an online model and combined the March and April session into one online session in April held at the same time as we originally planned it to happen to hopefully fit in well with people's schedules. For our final session, many of our participants, as well as our facilitator, were having trouble with their internet connection (this was the weekend of George Floyd's murder and there were a lot of internet issues across the state). Because of this, Farhiya recorded the final session and we sent it out to participants. While we did meet our goals of this class, due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to do so in unconventional ways. We were so glad that we were able to have one class together in person so that our participants had a chance to try Somali food and Somali tea. While we never meant to have these classes through Zoom, we were pleased to see from our post-sessions survey results that participants did still feel that connection with our facilitator and thoroughly enjoyed learning from her.   In looking at the results our post-sessions survey and comparing it to our pre-sessions survey, we were amazed by the growth in our participants: *On a scale from 1-10, how much do you know about the Somali LANGUAGE after attending this series?

The data behind the National Wetlands Inventory for Minnesota is now considerably out-of-date and a multi-phase, multi-agency collaborative effort coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is underway to update the data for the whole state. This appropriation is being used to conduct the second phase of this effort, which involves updating wetland maps for 13 counties in east-central Minnesota surrounding the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area, evaluating imagery sources and mapping technologies for use in future mapping of agricultural regions of the state, and acquiring additional data needed to update wetland maps for southern Minnesota. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Updated wetland maps were created for 13 counties in east-central Minnesota (7,150 square miles), encompassing the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Wetlands in Minnesota were originally mapped by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the early 1980's as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Although still widely used for land use planning, wetland permit screening and natural resource management, the original maps have grown increasingly out-of-date due to landscape alterations over the years. The data created for this project marks the first significant update to the NWI in Minnesota. The new maps are much more accurate, capture more detail, and provide more information than the original maps. Besides showing the location, size, and type of each wetland, the updated map data includes information on the wetland's landscape position and hydrologic characteristics, which can be useful in assessing the benefits provided, such as water quality improvement, flood storage, and fish and wildlife habitat. Updating the NWI is a key component of the State's strategy to monitor and assess wetlands in support of efforts to assure healthy wetlands and clean water for Minnesota. The DNR is planning to complete the NWI update for the entire state by 2020. Accomplishments for this project phase also include acquiring high-resolution, spring leaf-off digital aerial imagery for 23,900 square miles of southern Minnesota, acquiring field validation data for southern Minnesota, and developing wetland mapping procedures for the agricultural region of Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Imagery acquired for this project is available to the public through the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo): http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/geo_image_server.html. The MnGeo imagery service receives about one million page requests per month for the southern Minnesota imagery. This is the first publicly available leaf-off imagery data for southern Minnesota since 1991. The updated wetland map data are available through an interactive mapping application on the DNR's website at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/wetlands/map.html. The data can also be downloaded, free of charge, for use in geographic information system applications through the DNR's data deli at: http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us/. The data will eventually be incorporated into the national ""Wetland Mapper"" application maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The wetland mapping procedures and accuracy results for the 13-county updated NWI data are presented and discussed in a manuscript that has been submitted to the journal Wetlands, a publication of the Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS). Information from this project was also presented at the SWS annual conference in Duluth, MN in 2013. In addition, a press release was distributed regarding the updated NWI data and the story was published on several online news websites. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Laboratory conducted an extensive study of the effects of digital elevation model (DEM) preprocessing and mapping methods on the accuracy of wetlands maps in three different physiographic regions of Minnesota. This research covered two study sites in agricultural areas including the Minnesota River Headwaters (Big Stone County) and Swan Lake (Nicollet County) as well as a comparison site from northern Minnesota (St. Louis and Carlton Counties). The results of this effort were compiled and submitted for publication in several peer-reviewed scientific journals along with results from the earlier phase of the NWI update project. Three hard copies and one electronic copy of these publications have been submitted with the final report to LCCMR. There have also been numerous presentations at professional conferences.

This appropriation is available until June 30, 2013, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".","Click on ""Final Report"" under ""Project Details"".",,,,,,,,"Wilderness Inquiry","Non-Profit Business/Entity","PROJECT OVERVIEW There has been a sharp decline in participation in outdoor recreation and education amongst urban youth. Some argue that youth who have meaningful outdoor education experiences are more likely to become engaged in environmental stewardship and invested in outdoor resources as adults. Wilderness Inquiry- in partnership with state and federal agencies, non-profits, and local school districts - will use this appropriation to expand an environmental education and recreation program that provides disadvantaged urban youth and families, some of whom have never even been on a boat, with hands-on educational and recreational experiences of the Mississippi River in 24 foot Voyageur canoes. Funds are enabling the program to serve an additional 23,000 urban youth and families in the Twin Cities metro area. Public school groups have day trips and overnight excursions available to them to augment their classroom learning, while other youth and families have access through community events. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The goal of Urban Wilderness Youth Outdoor Education (UWYOE) was to provide accessible, outdoor education and recreation opportunities on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed for more than 20,000 urban youth over a three-year period. UWYOE was developed in response to the sharp decline in participation in outdoor education and activities such as canoeing, camping, hunting and fishing by urban youth. UWYOE provided experiential environmental learning experiences on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed for 24,899 Twin Cities middle and high school students, exceeding our initial goal of 20,000. 80% of the youth served identify as a person of color and 80% are eligible for free or reduced lunch. The majority, 76%, had very little or no prior experience with outdoor activities. Environmental education experiences were provided through outdoor workshops on local lakes and rivers, guided day trips on the Mississippi River, and overnight camping trips in local parks. National Park Service Rangers and Wilderness Inquiry guides provided natural and cultural history and science lessons as part of each program activity. We developed, refined and implemented classroom activities, provided three teacher trainings for Minneapolis Public Schools summer school staff, and developed a program website. We also purchased four 24' Voyageur canoes to expand our capacity to serve more youth.A three-year evaluation was conducted by the University of Minnesota's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI). Major outcomes include:77% of participants reported an increased interest in science and the environment87% of teachers agreed that students learned about environmental issues100% of students said they would like to participate in an outdoor activity like this againThis program has gained national attention as a model for engaging urban youth with the environment and building skills to grow future stewards and managers of our public lands. In the summer of 2012, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Governor Mark Dayton recognized the program as a leader in America's Great Outdoors initiative. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund's investment in UWYOE has resulted in the establishment of a model program for engaging youth in the outdoors, which we now call Urban Wilderness Canoe Adventures (UWCA). The UWCA has been recognized by the EPA, the Department of Interior, and Gov. Mark Dayton, among others, as a leader in America's Great Outdoors Initiative. Within the National Park Service and National Forest Service, the UWCA is being held up as an example of how these agencies need to engage in urban communities across the country. In 2010, Wilderness Inquiry and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area unit of the National Park Service piloted the UWCA concept developed in the Twin Cities to Washington DC, with support from the National Park Service, US Forest Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and several DC based nonprofit organizations. Serving 1,000 DC area school kids on the Anacostia River, this effort helping bring together 20 DC area organizations focused on though and/or the Anacostia River. To build on this success, we launched the ""Canoemobile"" to introduce youth to urban waters in multiple cities, and to help build local coalitions dedicated to providing outdoor opportunities to disadvantaged youth. In 2013, the Canoemobile will serve youth in Milwaukee, Michigan City, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington DC. Nature Valley has signed on as a sponsor of the Canoemobile. We held two outcomes briefings (one in 2011 and one in 2013) to present the University of Minnesota's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) evaluation results. The first was hosted by the Minneapolis Foundation and the second by Mayor Chris Coleman and the Saint Paul Foundation. Each had more than 35 community leaders, funders, and educators present. Information about the project has also been disseminated through the project website. The UWCA has received coverage on Kare 11 News, the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, and Mpls/St. Paul Magazine.",,"FINAL REPORT",2010-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Lais,"Wilderness Inquiry","808 14th Avenue SE",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 676-9409",greglais@wildernessinquiry.org,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/urban-wilderness-youth-outdoor-education,,,,

It's a vibrant and invaluable festival that is part of the Lao heritage that represents generosity, family values, community, society and religion that allows the Lao people to practice traditions. The event was held on May 7th, 2022 at the Thai Twist Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Blaine, MN. Events include; Religious ceremony, Ba-Ci (Lao tradition ceremony), bathing of Buddha images, pouring scented water upon seniors to ask for their blessing, and traditional on stage performance from 7 Asian ethnic groups; such as the Lao, Thai, and Indians. We created a children's group fashion show where the children showcased their Lao costumes and cultural parade. More than 500 Lao and SE Asians with the age ranges from 2-86 years old attended the event. We achieved most of the goals we strived for based off of what others wanted to see included in the event. Based on the in person survey we conducted, about 50% of the people that attended the party was interviewed. 100% of the people who were interviewed said that they wanted and believed that the Lao New Year event should continue and keep reaching out. An improvement that made our event successful this year was that we had more community members and volunteers participate in our event. Leading our group to reach out to parts of the community that didn't know about this information before. We have heard extensive requests from the Lao community that we need to host the Lao New Year event every year, to provide a platform for SE Asians to come together and celebrate our culture through art and expression as well as allow SE Asians to exchange thoughts and ideas on how to continue the preservation of SE Asian art, culture and heritage. To create a vibrant and warm space for us to showcase our talent and art, as well as creating increased understanding and improved community relations between diverse groups of people as we open this event to other ethnic groups outside of SE Asians. Right now, we are in the midst of planning the Project2. The project that is in progress is called the Grassroots Innovation. Our group members are promoting this project at all sort of community events taking place. ; Our Goals: (1) To preserve and expand the Lao culture, traditions, customs, arts, and literature.

Expansion: 1. The Association of Children's Museum has outlined assessment standards for Wheel and Cog to assess the impact and success answering these broad questions: -Do we create an environment where children learn, are families engaged and challenged, and do we create a memorable experience? First we will create a list of goals and anticipated outcomes, These include: The frequency we will collect data daily for the first week, then once a week for a month through the duration of the grant. a) We will use our digital tracking system to track attendance (guest, member) figures (number of guests, zip code, demographics, diversity and special accommodations attendances (eg: immunocompromised/disability/social hardship). b) We will track the new Outreach Program, location, event participation numbers, social media posts and Google Analytics, anonymous feedback and verbal feedback. c) Anonymous survey feedback from program participants and parents/teachers/organizations (QR Code survey) to determine if the new S.T.R.E.A.M. program/exhibits are meeting outcomes and goals outlined. d) Interviews with volunteers and program partners to help determine the effectiveness of the exhibits/programs. e) Dot feedback from children who played in the new exhibit spaces to capture immediate response/feedback regarding whether or not we are meeting the goals for our youngest community members/audience. f) Time spent playing in the new exhibit. (eg: longer time spent in an exhibit is a complement!) g) Accessible website/social media and marketing materials/exhibit signage ?meets the needs of our community and region seen by increased ?engagement on social media, ?hits on our website (Google ?Analytics) h) Staff and board member observations of activity and impact. (observations of how well the exhibit/program meets the goal to create an environment where children learn, families are engaged and challenged, and create opportunities for memorable experiences. -Observation and visitor feedback will be collected using a specified QR Code with a standard set of evaluation questions, mostly paragraph or short answer style feedback. The QR code results, attendance figures, dot feedback and participant feedback will be reviewed by the Executive Chair and Museum Educator. The feedback will allow the museum to make better informed decisions on programs and exhibits. We will collaborate with evaluation consultants who will provide additional support in data gathering including community-wide surveying, one-on-one interviews and innovative formal exhibit observation methods.
