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

Contact grants@mnhs.org","In our original application, we cited two different short-term goals and how we would measure the success of each. First we wanted to create a list of institutions that may have holdings related to World War I that identified some portion of Dakota County for our research. Next, our Exhibit Researcher (ER) was to travel to those locations to determine if there was anything in their collection useful to our research. After identifying a list of organizations (Minnesota Historical Society / History Center, Immigration Library, etc.), our researcher called each location to speak with someone from their staff, or did an online search when available. We were successful in finding materials in the institutions with a more broad focus, rather than narrow focus (i.e. county). Our most successful visits from the list we created were to the Minnesota History Center and the Immigration Library. However, we still had found more useful materials in our own collection of microfilm that contained local newspapers. We believe we were successful, since the list did provide us with additional information and resources we did not have in our own possession. Our next goal was an intermediate one that sought to have compiled all of the research into themes and categories. We undoubtedly were successful in this category due to our ER providing us with a User Guide to her research, as well as sorted files by categories with paper copies of what was found. The paper files are broken down by themes of ""Agriculture / Farmers,"" ""Not WWI"" (Women's Suffrage, etc.), ""1918 Flue Pandemic & Disease,"" Education / Training,"" Race,"" Peace Activism / Socialists,"" etc. By having these files, along with the User Guide, our next phase of creating the exhibit will be much simpler, while also providing a permanent collection that researchers can utilize. Lastly, our long-term goal was to find content that was not already in our collection to preserve for the public. Again, we have been much more successful than our organization could have thought of when it came to this goal. The amount of detail in organizing the information found by our ER provides our Research Library with a wealth of new information that we anticipate being used excessively during the span of our exhibit and into the future. With each community having their own file, as well as general information during this time frame, we anticipate this being used for more than just World War I research. As in our original grant, the inforamtion can be used for at least the next 5-10 years on various research topics, but also fill a void in our permanent collection.",,111,"Available upon request.

In this project, the Partnership will target additional retrofit projects using proven methods that match local water management plan priority sites with effective BMPs using ranking criteria that includes pollutant load modeling, benefits to receiving waters, cost benefit ratios, and site suitability. Based on documented past performance, target goals are to install up to 20 retrofit BMPs that provide treatment for at least 100 acres of urban drainage to reduce sediment by 6 tons, phosphorus by 40 pounds and stormwater volumes by 30 acre-ft. Priority will be given to target projects in areas with completed Total Maximum Daily Load studies and identified local water plans, and those identified using subwatershed analyses.

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

The Stream Power Index layer of the WQDSS tool indicates which flow paths have the highest erosive power and greatest potential for erosion. This tool helped assist the District with prioritizing and targeting these Multipurpose Drainage Management practice locations. Red Lake County SWCD has already been proactive in selecting locations where multipurpose drainage management practices are needed to reduce soil loss, eliminate sediment deposition in the impaired ditch systems, improve water quality, and reduce maintenance costs with the installation of 72 NRCS Conservation Practice Code 410 practices over the past five years. These locations were identified with assistance from the Red Lake County Ditch Authority (County Ditch 66, County Ditch 2 BR-1, and County Ditch 4).

This reach is a high priority because of the high importance of the Red Lake River, which provides a domestic supply use of the water source and provides abundant recreational uses. Red Lake County SWCD has targeted three sites in the upper portion of the Red Lake River (63025) subwatershed in Red Lake County, with the potential of an additional five to ten more projects, based on data analysis obtained from using the Water Quality Decision Support System (WQDSS) tool, TMDL Impaired Waters List, DNR Stressor ID database, and the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models. The data identified which sub-watersheds were contributing to these impairments, highlighted which fields in those sub-watersheds were contributing the most sediment, and even showed specific locations in the field which were most vulnerable to erosion. Red Lake County SWCD also conducted an Erosion Site Inventory in 2014, which verified the information from the tools/models, and found landowners in these priority areas that were eager to fix the erosion problems on their land. Water Quality Improvement Projects, which include but are not limited to, grade stabilization structures, streambank and shoreland protection, grassed waterways, and water & sediment basins, will be the Best Management Practices implemented to correct the erosion that is occurring at these site locations. Through the implementation of these Best Management Practices, the large amount of sediment that is being contributed from this subwatershed area will be reduced and water quality will be improved. The three proposed installed practices result in the following soil loss reductions numbers: Sediment (TSS) will be 692.90 T/yr., Soil (estimated savings) will be 1,796.67 T/yr. and Phosphorus (est. reduction) will be 588.97 lbs./yr.

",,"The pressures from development, industry, and agriculture continue to mount on wildlife habitat within the farmland regions of Minnesota.  In fact, despite our collective investments in conservation, it is believed that many of the agricultural counties in Minnesota are continuing to experience a net loss of wildlife habitat.  This unfortunate reality is currently being exacerbated by conversion of lands expiring out of CRP.  Now, more than ever, is the time to accelerate our investments in permanently protected high quality public habitat complexes that will protect, maintain, and increase Minnesota’s wildlife populations.  In addition, being able to provide public areas for Minnesotans to hunt, trap, fish and otherwise recreate in the outdoors are urgent needs and is fundamental to ensure Minnesota’s outdoor heritage and appreciation of the outdoors is passed on to future generations. To help slow and reverse the loss of habitat and declining wildlife populations, Pheasants Forever (PF) and our partners have protected (fee acquisition from willing sellers) 1,484.05 acres of high priority grassland (native prairie if available), wetland, and wildlife habitat as state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) throughout the pheasant range of Minnesota.  Striving to build landscape level habitat complexes that will protect and sustain wildlife populations, many of the potential projects are additions to existing WMAs or WPAs, many of which were originally acquired in partnership with MNDNR, local PF chapters, and conservation partners. Projects were developed and selected in conjunction with local and regional DNR staff.  All projects will meet standards and requirements for inclusion into the WMA system and DNR Commissioner approval will be received for any project funded under this proposal.  In addition to meeting the minimum WMA standards, additional criteria were used to develop the potential project list including: Does the parcel contain habitat restoration potential that will result in an increase in wildlife populations? Does the parcel build upon existing investments in public and private land habitat (landscape scale significance)? Does the parcel contain significant natural communities or will it protect or buffer significant natural communities?

",,"The loss of grassland and wetland habitats in Minnesota is well documented.  One of the primary ways to reverse this downward trend is to permanently acquire and restore previously converted wetland and grassland habitats on those properties. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and their partners have been employing this strategy for over 50-years with the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program (SWAP). This acceleration program acquired and restored 205.77 acres of wetland and 1,035.02 acres of grassland habitats which are now permanently protected as Waterfowl Protection Areas managed by the Service. Using landscape level planning tools [e.g. Thunderstorm Maps produced by the Service’s Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET)], Pheasants Forever (PF) has acquired these strategically identified properties. Based on HAPET evaluation strategies, modeling predictions can be made on the numbers of nesting waterfowl, grassland nesting birds, and other wildlife the acres affected by this grant application will produce.  Besides the obvious wildlife benefits the lands acquired through this grant will provide additional water quality, groundwater recharge, and flood abatement benefits. These strategies are well tested and are supported by the greater conservation community here in Minnesota. Hunting and fishing stakeholders are very interested in increasing opportunities for hunting and fishing public access and have used WPA’s extensively in the past. To address concerns related to the erosion of county tax revenues due to public land, the Service and PF notified counties prior to acquisition of lands. Once acquired, the Service will make a one-time Trust Fund payment to the County where the property is located.  In addition, the Service will make annual Refuge Revenue Sharing payments for all fee lands within the respective Counties.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Eran ",Sandquist,"Pheasants Forever","410 Lincoln Ave","South Haven",MN,55382,763-242-1273,esandquist@pheasantsforever.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Clay, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Mahnomen, Murray, Rice, Stearns, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerating-waterfowl-production-area-program-phase-5,,,, 20716,"Accelerated Wetland and Shallow Lake Enhancement",2014,1790000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 4(f)","$1,790,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources to enhance and restore shallow lakes, including $210,000 for an agreement with Ducks Unlimited to help implement restorations and enhancements.

The primary focus for the Wildlife Section of this appropriation was the use of two Roving Crews, in Region One (located in Polk County) and Region 3 (located in Dakota County). Roving Crews are self-contained habitat enhancement programs. One hundred percent of their time is dedicated to habitat enhancement. In addition, we worked with local contractors to do additional habitat work on WMAs and SNAs.Division of Ecological and Water Resource staff funded on this appropriation did a variety of tasks, including writing contracts for woody removal projects and prescribed burns, firebreak installation, prescribed burn planning and execution, prairie reconstruction, and smaller invasive removal projects. CCM crews were contracted for many projects to add additional abilities. Specifically noteworthy, southern region EWR hires a CCM crew for several weeks in the spring each year to build support into the DNR burn crew (there would not be enough staff for a crew without CCM).In addition to these data, we also provide the following narratives showing the outputs and outcomes of several of the projects on the parcel list.The Cuka WMA project involved the removal of scattered invasive volunteer trees from 130 acres of native and restored prairie. A DNR survey on June 11, 2013 revealed the presence of at least 508 individual clusters of Small White Lady Slipper orchids. The orchid is abundant on Cuka WMA and this tree removal was management that is a direct positive for the preservation of this species.

One hunter has harvested a 2 bird limit on every pheasant opener for the last four years.A large portion of Benson WMA was already a quality restored grassland and wetland complex when acquired, but had thousands of trees covering the WMA. Without treatment, the site would have soon lost its open nature and grassland wildlife. The site includes a very high quality remnant prairie that we use to harvest local ecotype seed for nearby WMA restorations.Two Rivers Aspen Parkland SNA is a 1400 acre high quality brush prairie that was being invaded by aspen. This transition can be devastating to many wildlife species, particularly sharp tailed grouse as they tend to abandon these areas once they transition. After the prescribed burn and woody removal projects, there was a significant increase in sharp tailed grouse observations.Sweetwater WMA has two tracts totaling 430 acres. These tracts are part of a contiguous complex of public lands, including roughly 1,000 acres of Waterfowl Production Areas and 500 acres of WMA in the heart of Lac qui Parle County – an area with a rich history of waterfowl and upland bird hunting. The tree removal work on Sweetwater WMA compliments ongoing habitat acquisitions, restorations and enhancements being done in this area through partnerships among USFWS, MNDNR, TNC, PF and DU.Cooperative Farming Agreement fields totaling nineteen acres on four WMAs in the south Metro were retired. The fields were planted to a diverse mix native grasses and forbs. This will benefit pollinators as well as providing additional nesting cover. These WMAs are relatively close to the Metro Area, proving both wildlife habitat as well as hunting and other recreational opportunities for Twin Cities residents.Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project.

Design only projects are surveyed and receive preliminary design plans and support from Minnesota DNR engineers. This initial work is critical to identify project issues, determine realistic cost estimates, and ensure that future construction can proceed with minimal delays. No acres are reported for design-only projects; that occurs only after construction. Eight projects were design-only. Thirteen projects were design and construct. These 13 projects involved the construction or renovation of water control structures, fish barriers and/or dikes. This work enhanced almost 1200 acres, 913 of which were in the Prairie Ecological Section.Roving Habitat Crews - Minnesota DNR Roving Habitat Crews are highly trained, equipped and motivated staff working together to enhance Wildlife Mangement Areas. Begun in 2010, 2 6-person crews were established to work on prairie grasslands, with one crew based in Mentor, MN and one based at Lac Qui Parle. Beginning with this Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation, funding was provided to the 2 crews to allow to them expand to do wetland enhancement work. Each crew was provided 2 additional staff and they were able to spend 25% of their time and resources on wetland and shallow lake activities. This work included wetland prescribed burns, removal of woody vegetation from wetlands, the ability to work on wetland drawdowns, cattail spraying and mowing, and other wetland activities. The wetland acreage impacted by these crews has exceeded expectations, with 8,900 wetland acres enhanced. Three thousand-four hundred of these acres were enhanced in the Prairie Ecological Section. The most wetland acres were enhanced in Forest/Prairie Ecological Section, which is a function of the large habitat blocks that are available to manage in northwest Minnesota.Shallow Lakes Program - The Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program consists of a supervisor and 8 shallow lakes specialists. Three of these shallow lake specialist positions were created and funded with the Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements, Phase IV, OHF appropriation. Interns are used to augment shallow lake assessment work done during the summer field season. The Shallow Lakes Program can be described as having two major goals - assessment of shallow lakes through a standardized set of measures and initiating management of shallow lakes to enhance their value to wildlife. Management actions may include drawdowns, removal of unwanted fish, control of invasive species, and placement of major infrastructure. Acres are not reported for this component of the grant, though the work done by the Shallow Lakes Program is critical to acres subsequently reported by the DNR or Ducks Unlimited when OHF funds are used to implement management. A measure of the work accomplished by OHF-funded shallow lakes specialists is the number of number of shallow lake assessments the undertake during the grant period.

",,"The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 760 acres of native prairie habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Not only were the prairie protection outcomes met but they were exceeded by 582 acres.  Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota’s original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case.  Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, mineral extraction and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts, but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat.  Originally, this appropriation aimed to protect 760 acres of native prairie through Native Prairie Bank easements. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including:     1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey    2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species    3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 10 native prairie parcels for a total of 1,342 acres (582 acres more than initial 760 acre goal) were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements.  These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria and soil fungi.  Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.  ",2015-07-01,2019-10-23,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Judy,Schulte,"MN DNR","1241 E Bridge Street ","Redwood Falls",MN,56283,"(507) -637-6016",judy.schulte@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Clay, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Polk, Redwood, Wilkin, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/accelerated-native-prairie-bank-protection-phase-iv,,,, 35038,"Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement - Phase VII",2016,2130000,"ML 2015, First Sp.

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

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.

Enrollment will focus on Minnesota Prairie Plan identified landscapes and target high quality prairies that provide valuable wildlife habitat. ",,"The loss of native prairie and associated grassland habitat is arguably the greatest conservation challenge facing western and southern Minnesota. This appropriation aimed to protect 420 acres of native prairie habitat by accelerating the enrollment of Native Prairie Bank easements. Not only were the prairie protection outcomes met but they were exceeded by 99 acres. Acceleration, such as this, is necessary to address the loss of native prairie and associated grasslands. Today, only about 1.3% of Minnesota’s original 18 million acres of prairie remains. The few remaining acres of native prairie once were thought of as unsuitable for crop production, however with advancements in technology and equipment, in addition to growing competition for tillable acres, this is no longer the case. Unfortunately, grassland-to-cropland conversion is not the only impact to native prairie, significant degradation and loss is also occurring due to property development, aggregate extraction, and lack of prairie-oriented management. If the current trajectory of grassland and prairie loss continues it will be devastating to grassland dependent wildlife populations. Recognizing that protecting grassland and wetland habitat is one of the most critical conservation challenges facing Minnesota, over a dozen leading conservation organizations have developed a road map for moving forward – the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. This plan calls for several outcomes, one being the protection of all remaining native prairie, largely through conservation easements. One of the primary easement tools for native prairie protection in Minnesota is the DNR administered Native Prairie Bank easement. Native Prairie Bank was established by the 1987 legislature to protect private native prairie lands by authorizing the state to acquire conservation easements from willing landowners. Native Prairie Bank targets the protection of native prairie tracts but can also include adjoining lands as buffers and additional habitat. Originally, this appropriation aimed to protect 420 acres of native prairie through Native Prairie Bank easements. Eligible tracts were to be located within priority landscapes identified in the Minnesota Prairie Plan and prioritized based on several evaluation factors including: 1) Size and quality of habitat, focusing on diverse native prairie communities that have been identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey 2) The occurrence of rare species, or suitability habitat for rare species 3) Lands that are part of a larger habitat complex Ultimately, 7 native prairie parcels for a total of 519 acres (99 acres more than initial 420-acre goal) were perpetually protected through this appropriation via Native Prairie Bank Easements. These now protected native prairies are unique natural resources that consist of thousands of different organisms, plants, animals, bacteria, and soil fungi. Their complex interactions provide the food, water and shelter required by many of Minnesota’s rare, threatened, and endangered species. These prairies house a wide variety of pollinator species, some of which often cannot survive in other habitats, including prairie restorations.

This work is called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan. ",,"ML2016 Accelerated Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancement Phase 8 entailed three components. * Engineering, Construction, and/or Management of Individual Shallow Lake/Wetland Projects - Fourteen individual projects were undertaken with funding from this appropriation. Two of these projects, Swamp Lake (Aitkin County) and Puposky Lake (Beltrami County), entailed extensive cleanout of outlet channels leading to better water level management. These projects are necessary when downstream outlets become clogged with sediment and vegetation and water levels in shallow lakes become abnormally high. Specialized (and expensive) equipment such as Swamp Devils, Cookie Cutters, or extended-reach excavators, removed accumulated sediments and other obstructions to surveyed levels. The resulting water elevations return to lower levels and habitat benefits are often dramatic. Five projects - Clear Lake (Murray County) Eckvoll WMA (Marshall County), Typhoon WMA (Cottonwood County), Sterle Pool/Sawyer WMA (Carlton County), and Buena Vista (Beltrami County) - were completed and involved engineering and construction of wetland/shallow lake infrastructure such as dikes and water control structures. In all of these projects, engineering was done in-house (i.e. DNR engineers) and private contractors were used for the construction. Finally, seven infrastructure projects were engineered only, with construction planned for the future. Doing this initial engineering allows us to determine project feasibility, identify construction obstacles, and obtain accurate cost estimates for materials and construction. While five of these engineering-only projects were accomplished with in-house engineers, the other two projects were completed with private engineering consultants, as in-house engineering is becoming more difficult to obtain. Obtaining needed engineering support is an issue we continue to look at. *Shallow Lakes Program - The Shallow Lakes Program is a high-visibility program within the DNR Section of Wildlife that uses single-focused Shallow Lakes Specialists to (1) perform standardized assessments of shallow lakes and (2) to bring about needed management or infrastructure changes where needed to enhance shallow lake habitat. Work by these Specialists guides Shallow Lakes work by both DNR Wildlife staff and NGOs. Funding from this appropriation allowed the addition of three Shallow Lake Specialists who are stationed at Detroit Lakes, Tower, and Brainerd and provided their funding for three fiscal years - Fy17-FY19. During this time the Specialists reported doing 183 shallow lake assessments covering 76,602 acres. This assessment work directly leads to shallow lake project initiation by the DNR and DU to address needed management and infrastructure issues that lead to enhanced habitat. * Roving Habitat Crews - Roving Habitat Crews are teams of DNR staff who are equipped and trained to performP a g e 3 | 12 habitat enhancement projects on public lands. Funding from this appropriation was provided to the Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew to enable it to perform wetland enhancement activities through the addition of two roving crew members and their associated costs for three fiscal years (FY17-FY19). Typical wetland enhancement activities undertaken by Roving Habitat Crews include prescribed burns of wetlands, removal of invasive species and trees from wetlands, support of shallow lake drawdowns, and seeding wild rice. The Region 1 Roving Habitat Crew notably was involved in recent wetland management actions for which acres were reported in other appropriations and will not be reported in this report to avoid double-counting. Examples include the 7,000+ acre prescribed wetland burn that was done at Roseau River WMA. The Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew initiated, planned, and led the large effort to do this burn, but the acres were reported in the ML2015 Shallow Lakes and Wetland Enhancements Phase 7 Final Report, which provided the funding the helicopter that performed the aerial ignition using a helitorch. Likewise, cattail spraying done with the OHF-funded spray unit on a DNR helicopter used Reg. 1. Roving Habitat Crew members as ground support staff to load herbicide and refuel the helicopter between spray flights, a job liked to being an Indy pit crew, but with a running helicopter. Acres for this activity are reported in the OHF appropriations that fund the helicopter and chemical costs. Finally, the Reg. 1 Roving Habitat Crew stepped in when Covid-19 hiring restrictions prevented the DNR from hiring season technicians to run the OHF-purchased airboat on Rice Lake. Reg. 1 crew members volunteered to get the needed airboat training, then worked in shifts to operate the airboat during the field season. As an added bonus, innovative and mechanically adept Reg. 1 crew members decided they could improve the airboat cutting attachment. They crafted their own cutters which have proven more effective than the original equipment.

Data collected through this tool noted time spent in each gallery by age group as a measure of “exposure” and awareness-learning at the Museum. 153 group visits took place over the course of this project. Group visit feedback was solicited from educators using an on-line post-visit survey tool. Over 6,250 Museum visitors participated in Museum access opportunities. Feedback received from families participating in Museum access events was solicited through written surveys and post-it feedback activities. Visitor feedback indicated high levels of satisfaction with their Museum experience, along with identified learnings on the part of both children and adults.",,,,147000,,"Brian Benshoof CEO, MRCI Worksource; Neal Benson Manufacturing Operations Consultant, retired from Emerson Electric; Laura Bowman Director of Community Relations and Development at Mayo Clinic Health System; Nick Hinz President, Frandsen Bank and Trust; Barb Kaus President, Greater Mankato Area United Way; Linda Kilander Retired Principal, Mankato Area Public Schools; Kim Kleven Early Childhood Coordinator, Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial; Naomi Mortensen Marketing Director, Environmental Tillage Systems; Tim Newell Director of Solutions Business Management, Kato Engineering/Emerson; Christine Powers Partner, Abdo Eick & Meyers; Tom Riley Telecommunications Operations Executive, Greater Mankato Growth; Beth Serrill Attorney, Blethen Gage & Krause; Christie SkilbredP roject Manager, Capstone Literacy Center/Coughlan Companies; Dr. Katie Smentek Pediatrician, Mankato Clinic; Sara Steinbach Regional Manager, Public Affairs & Marketing, Mayo Clinic Health System; Keith Stover Retired President, South Central College; Vance Stuehrenberg County Commissioner, Blue Earth County, MN; Anna Thill President, Visit Mankato; Liz Ulman Organizational Development Manager, Dotson Iron Castings; Dr. Ginger Zierdt Interim Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Education, Minnesota State University, Mankato",2,"Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","CMSM opened its new permanent site with increased capacity to serve as an informal learning center that playfully engages children, families, and school groups in interactive experiences with the art and cultural heritage of southern Minnesota.

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

One outcome to particularly note is the completion of a project by students in the Spring 2017 course, Public History in Action - Remembering Rondo: A Digital History Practicum."" Students partnered with Rondo Avenue, Inc. (the governing board of the community) to reconstitute the historic business district of the Rondo neighborhood from 1920-1960 using GIS mapping technology. This project drew inspiration from an earlier map by Rondo resident Jim Gerlich of important Rondo landmarks and businesses during the same time period. However, due to space limitations, only businesses established every 10 years could be included. There are no such restrictions on a digital map though, so over the course of the semester, students used the new microfilm scanner to scan all the Rondo-based business ads in the St. Paul Echo (1925-1927), Twin City Herald (1927-1940), and St. Paul Sun (1951-1976). Students presented their research to members of the Rondo Avenue, Inc. Board at the end the semester. The project has been donated to RememberingRondo.org (http://rememberingrondo.org/historic-rondo-businesses/) and a copy also resides in the Ramsey County Historical Society.",,68,"Available upon request.

The installation of the new ST ViewScan III microfilm scanner achieved these goals for us. We now offer access to our microfilmed newspapers using the scanner. Visitors, staff, and volunteers can now save newspaper records electronically and print them on our printers and copiers with better clarity. As an example, within a week of receiving the new microfilm scanner, we fulfilled a research request with the new scanner and were able to e-mail a clear and readable PDF copy of an obituary to the researcher because of this project. Moreover, the project allows us to start indexing newspapers to make more local history more readily available to the public.",,480,"Available upon request.

",,,,,,,,,,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","Local/Regional Government","The Albert Lea Lake Management project replaced the previous Albert Lea Lake fix-crest dam with a 3-in-1 structure that included a rock riffle dam, a lake level management structure, and an electric fish barrier. The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) encompasses 246-square miles in Freeborn County. The District includes 11 lakes that drain to the Shell Rock River, which flows into the Cedar River. Among the District’s lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, located within the City of Albert Lea. These lakes are central to Albert Lea’s tourism industry and its identity.The previous Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, was in need of repair. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Project replaced the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels. A lake level management structure was also constructed, as well as an electric fish barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake.The project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity for years to come. Specific benefits are outlined below.1. Rock-Arch Water-Level Control: The SRRWD replaced the old fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches to provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake. The upper-most rock arch is controlling the normal water level with the help of metal sheeting. There are two more rock arches behind the first, totaling 3 rock arches. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: The installation of the structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system.3.  Electric fish barrier:  An electric fish barrier was installed and is used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat.Design and engineering of the project started in late 2013. Contracts and associated agreements for the dam were made in early 2014. The order of operations for the construction of the project includes:•    Installation of the cofferdam•    Construction of the water diversion channel•    Removal of the old dam and bridge•    Installation of the metal sheeting that holds the lake level•    Placement of the first rock arch along the sheeting•    Installation of the footings for the concrete work•    Concrete work for the fish barrier•    Concrete work for the draw down structure•    Finalize/seal all concrete•    Placement of remaining rock arches•    Removal of the cofferdam and water diversion channel•    Installation and fine tuning of the fish barrier componentThe main construction of the projects where completed in the spring of 2015. At the end of 2015, some calibrations of the electric components were needed on the electric fish barrier. After the ice melt in the spring of 2016, those changes were made to fine tune the barrier. The Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure is now fully complete. The outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier worked in harmonization as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource.   The existing Albert Lea Lake outlet structure and access bridge, installed in 1922, are in need of repair.The proposed project would replace the fixed-crest dam with a rock-arch rapids feature to control water levels and allow fish passage (see concept drawing). A lake level management structure would also be constructed, as well as an electric barrier to prevent silver, bighead, and common carp and other benthic feeding fish from entering the lake. This project is expected to result in improved aquatic habitat, improved waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, an increase in desirable fish populations, and improved water quality and clarity. It has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, developed with public participation, and subject to public review and approval by the SRRWD Board. Specific benefits are outlined below. 1.  Rock-Arch Water-Level Control and Fish Passage: Replacing the existing fixed-crest dam with a series of rock arches will provide a naturalized outlet to Albert Lea Lake, with the upper-most rock arch controlling the normal water level. The arches will also provide fish passage, allowing northern pike to move upstream from the Shell Rock River to spawn in the lake. Northern Pike typically spawn in March and April, while carp spawning/movement typically does not start until May. A fish passage—in combination with an electric fish barrier activated in May to preclude carp—will increase the population of Northern Pike, natural predators of carp. Albert Lea Lake populations of Northern Pike and Bluegill (also a carp egg predator) are currently below Minnesota DNR norms for similar lakes. 2.  Lake Level Management Structure: Installation of a structure to facilitate lake-level management gives the SRRWD flexibility to take action benefiting the health of the lake. Periodic lowering of lake elevations allows maximum in-lake sediment compaction, improvement of water clarity due to reduction in wind-generated turbidity, and time for plant colonization of shoreline and shallow-water areas. The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective. This program is endorsed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fishery and Wildlife Divisions and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and conducted with their technical assistance and cooperation. This project is consistent with recommendations of the 2004 Shell Rock River Watershed Management Plan (Appendix B & J). It is also noted in the Albert Lea Lake Management Plan, as part of the Freeborn County Comprehensive Water Plan 2006-2015. Other applicable plans include the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan Phase II provisions that address the control of invasive species, restoration of shallow lakes, water quality improvements in impaired waters, and  protection and enhancement of fish and waterfowl breeding habitat (pg. 30-96); and the 2009 Minnesota State Management Plan for Invasive Species. Activities are also within the goals of the Basin Alliance for the Lower Mississippi in Minnesota (BALMM). This project is a component of the 2011 Restoring Native Habitat/Water Quality to the Shell Rock River Project funded by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund for the fee-title acquisition of the headwaters of the Shell Rock River. The land has been acquired and will be turned over to the DNR to be operated under an Aquatic Management Area Management Plan. There are no known opponents or anticipated barriers to project completion. These efforts will be highly visible and seen as a benefit to the entire region. They are endorsed by the local Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Freeborn County, City of Albert Lea, DNR and Fountain Lake Sportsmen’s Club.  ",,2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Andy,Henschel,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","411 S Broadway ","Albert Lea",MN,56007,"(507) 377-5785",andy.henschel@co.freeborn.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Freeborn,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/albert-lea-lake-management-and-invasive-species-control-structure,,,, 20697,"Albert Lea Lake Management and Invasive Species Control Structure",2014,1127000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(h)","$1,127,000 in the first year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with the Shell Rock River Watershed District to construct structural deterrents and lake level controls to enhance aquatic habitat on Albert Lea Lake in Freeborn County.

The resulting improvement in aquatic plant health benefits the entire lake system. 3.  Electric fish barrier: An electric fish barrier will be used to reduce the population of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Albert Lea Lake and to prevent the introduction of Bighead and Silver (Asian) Carp. Common carp uproot and consume aquatic vegetation, disturb and re-suspend phosphorous-rich sediments. The resulting increase in turbidity reduces light penetration—discouraging rooted plant growth—and contributes to algal blooms responsible for oxygen depletion. The destruction of aquatic vegetation by large populations of foraging fish also impacts waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding habitat, shoreline and littoral habitat, and game fish spawning habitat. Asian Carp multiply rapidly and are voracious eaters, depleting food resources. The leaping ability of the Silver Carp also poses a danger to boaters and skiers. According to a 2010 news story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Asian carp have migrated past the 5-in-1 Dam in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, moving up the Cedar River to Black Hawk County—where the Cedar and the Shell Rock River join. The distance from this point to Albert Lea Lake is only about 100 miles. While there is not general agreement about the threat posed by Asian carp in lake waters, if this does become a concern the barrier could be used year-round and an alternative fish management plan developed. The SRRWD has a proven track record of success with fish barriers. The fish barriers upstream of Albert Lea Lake—at Wedge Creek and White Lake (partially funded by 2009 Outdoor Heritage Funds) and Mud Lake—have improved habitat and water clarity in the upstream areas. Improved habitat is demonstrated by increased sightings of aquatic fur bearers and waterfowl, with 15 waterfowl species sighted during the fall migration. Improvements in water clarity are demonstrated by secchi disk readings on Fountain Lake (connected to these water bodies), which were the best on record in 2010. The proposed outlet, fish passage, and fish barrier will work as part of the District’s overall management plan. Similar to the Wedge Creek, White Lake, and Mud Lake efforts, the anticipated outcome for Albert Lea Lake is restoration of rooted aquatic vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and enhanced water quality—all of which will serve to increase community use of this important recreational resource. The strategy of carp/rough fish control and exclusion is known to be effective. This program is endorsed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fishery and Wildlife Divisions and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and conducted with their technical assistance and cooperation. This project is consistent with recommendations of the 2004 Shell Rock River Watershed Management Plan (Appendix B & J). It is also noted in the Albert Lea Lake Management Plan, as part of the Freeborn County Comprehensive Water Plan 2006-2015. Other applicable plans include the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan Phase II provisions that address the control of invasive species, restoration of shallow lakes, water quality improvements in impaired waters, and  protection and enhancement of fish and waterfowl breeding habitat (pg. 30-96); and the 2009 Minnesota State Management Plan for Invasive Species. Activities are also within the goals of the Basin Alliance for the Lower Mississippi in Minnesota (BALMM). This project is a component of the 2011 Restoring Native Habitat/Water Quality to the Shell Rock River Project funded by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund for the fee-title acquisition of the headwaters of the Shell Rock River. The land has been acquired and will be turned over to the DNR to be operated under an Aquatic Management Area Management Plan. There are no known opponents or anticipated barriers to project completion. These efforts will be highly visible and seen as a benefit to the entire region. They are endorsed by the local Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Freeborn County, City of Albert Lea, DNR and Fountain Lake Sportsmen’s Club.  ",,2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Andy,Henschel,"Shell Rock River Watershed District","411 S Broadway ","Albert Lea",MN,56007,"(507) 377-5785",andy.henschel@co.freeborn.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Freeborn,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/albert-lea-lake-management-and-invasive-species-control-structure,,,, 28697,"Alex Seitaniemi Housebarn: Restoration Phase 3",2014,142259,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,142259,,"Pam Bennett, Marlin Bjornrud, Charlotte Erickson, Leone Graf, Patricia Heikkila, Roger Hujanen, Kathy Johnson, Becky Kallio, Paul Knuti, Jim Nelmark, Gary Rantala",,"Sisu Heritage Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To stabilize, repair, and restore log components on the Alex Seitaniemi Housebarn, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, preparatory to implementation of interpretative programming for the public.",,,2014-01-01,2015-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Paul,Knuti,"Sisu Heritage Inc.","PO Box 127",Embarrass,MN,55732,218-290-0171,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/alex-seitaniemi-housebarn-restoration-phase-3,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

For example, in August 2015, MNHS completed a six- to-nine month repatriation of 54 objects to the Bois Forte community in northern Minnesota. In FY15, MNHS began a series of outreach visits to Ojibwe bands in Minnesota to deepen meaningful consultation and strengthen appropriate stewardship of MNHS's culturally sensitive material. Past visits have included Mille Lacs, Leech Lake, and Grand Portage. In FY16, this effort will continue with visits to Fond du Lac and Red Lake.

Outcomes included: 1) Residents of Maplewood understand the connection between Maplewood's land characteristics and 3M's choice to site their campus there. Visitors showed intellectual connections to the content they learned about through the 3M and Maplewood exhibit by the quality and type of questions they asked in other areas of the farm. This outcome was successful. 2) Residents of Maplewood can describe the impact of 3M's presence on the growth of their city. Visitors who attended the Bruentrup Heritage Farm asked follow-up questions that reflected a deeper understanding of how the arrival of 3M in Maplewood both shaped and reflected broader suburban and corporate trends. This outcome was successful. 3) Residents of Maplewood and other Minnesotans begin to better understand the mutually beneficial, but largely separate relationship between 3M and Maplewood. Public discussions about incorporation and the rise of the corporate campus reflected knowledge about the consequences of the suburbanization era. This outcome was successful, and continues to grow through social media and informal conversations. 4) Residents of Maplewood begin to value local history more.

McDougall WMA (Morrison County, NWTF): A total 111 acres of Mississippi River high quality floodplain and terrace forest were treated for invasive buckthorn. 7. Rice Lake SNA (Sherburne County, GRG): A total of 23 acres of high quality oak savanna enhancement was completed with the removal of invasive shrubs using a two stage treatment of winter forestry mowing, followed by spring prescribed burning. 8. Rum River Wild Rice (Isanti County, GRG): This project included successful aerial spray of overabundant water lily and invasive cattail on Marget and Krone Lakes, two historic wild rice shallow lakes, to release viable wild rice seed bed and improve the success of supplemental seeding. This project also included wild rice seeding in Rum River backwaters, oxbows, and main channel. This project enhanced a total of 139 wetland acres. 9. Sartell WMA (Benton County, NWTF): A total of 170 oak woodland acres were enhanced through woody invasive species removal of buckthorn, honeysuckle, and overabundant red cedar, through cutting, herbicide stump treatment, and burning of debris piles. Emergent invasive sprouts were later spot sprayed with herbicide. A portion of the site was also burned. 10. Sherburne NWR (Sherburne County, GRG): A total of 519 acres of oak savanna enhancement work was completed as part of the large-scale restoration of refuge lands.

The faculty level zebra mussel researcher was hired with Clean Water Funds in 2013 and he has nearly completed the first phase of his research program to understand the threat of zebra mussels in order to prevent and control them in Minnesota. Research completed includes sequencing a draft genome of this organism, using genetics to understand how spread is occurring around the state, developing a new early detection technique for both zebra and quagga mussels, and developing protocols for evaluating effectiveness of open water trials of mulluscicide treatments. The MAISRC facilities have now also been renovated.

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.

Students not only participate and follow directions, but are actually taught vocabulary, about stage direction, how to block a scene and much more. This will enhance their understanding of the art of musical theatre. The evaluation tool we have written up will be administered at the parent meeting when scripts and music are handed out shortly after auditions and before rehearsals start. A second survey will be given to students at the end of the production, and we will compare answers for growth and changes. The survey will be administered to all students, with parents helping their children in grades Kindergarten - three, fill out the survey. The reading level on this is approximately middle elementary to junior high level - so parents will need to read it to many younger children. Surveys will be tabulated at the end of the production to indicate the level of change and growth from beginning to end of the production. The questions on the survey about vocabulary are to show some of the things the children have learned while rehearsing the production mentioned in Goal 4. Asking questions about whether a child would participate if the production was not in our school district is in response to Goal 3 - Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region. We will also look for community support through ticket sales and repeat ticket sales. These numbers can be used to judge how the community supports us through attending productions, but we will also look at parent support through the volunteerism that parents do to support the musical production, as well as how regularly the children attend the rehearsals.","Over half the children had not participated in a musical before this one. I believe it is likely they will audition for a musical again as 42% of the children said they rated the experience as ""The Best"" and 47% said they rated their experience as ""Lots of Fun"" and only 6% saying it was ""Okay"" and none answering Boring or Never Again. Overall there was a great deal of change in positive attitudes in wanting to be in a musical, onstage and perform. Children learned acting terms, how to stay in character, how to block, dances, songs and memorize lines.

Through participation in this project, participants will spend one week exploring and expanding both their music and theater skills. This will be done through improvisation, team-building activities, and performing a musical. Through teamwork, they will produce Disney's The Lion King within one week's time. 2. Throughout the one-week process of participants experiencing the Lion King theater camp, they will produce a musical that anyone in our community will be able to attend. We will have an audience of at least 50 per night. These audience members will be exposed to high-quality musical theater through this process. 3. Through the one-week theater camp, we will inspire younger performers to be involved in the high school theater program and increase the number of students involved. We will create this lifelong learning opportunity for them and continue to maintain, support, and build our own organization while promoting and inspiring our local school's theater program. 4.

We will survey the audience to see if they enjoyed the performance and ask their opinion on what the ""next step"" should be for their community theater in their town. We will track the size of the audience and compare with previous projects. We will also track the involvement of students in the local school's theater program.

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).

To offer students the experience of working with professional brass musiciansGoals will be measured as follows: a. Audience attendance at each of the brass ensemble concerts will provide measurable response. Audience surveys will provide comments and reactions to the performances. b. Participation by adults in the community brass ensemble will indicate their response to the residency. Pre-and-post-residency feedback from community musicians will be gathered. c. Student brass players and their band teacher (a tuba player!) will provide feedback after the residency and concert are complete.","This project had three goals: to present two brass concerts in the 2013-2014 season, to provide an opportunity for student musicians to work with professional brass musicians, to provide an opportunity for community musicians to work with professional musicians. All of these were accomplished through the work of this residency and the two brass concerts.

However, from that information and from talking with the participants and the participants talking with Judy individually, we know there were many accomplished writers at the workshop. We also know that a future workshop would need to address the range of abilities of the participants. We also learned that half the participants learned about the event from direct invitation or word of mouth, 8 read about it in a newspaper, 6 learned about it online or from email, and 2 saw our posters. The participants’ preference for registering included the following: 16 for online, 2 for calling, 7 for email, and 4 for snail mail. Preference for paying included the following: online 11, US mail 13, at the door 5, and does not matter 2. The level of writing included the following: aspiring 13, emerging 9, and published 5.

Participants should enjoy the arts experience and leave the class feeling that they have a greater understanding of the art discipline. To evaluate success in meeting this goal, Hutchinson Center for the Arts will ask students to fill out exit surveys at the end of each class to gauge effectiveness of the class, determine future needs for arts education, and provide direction for future programs.","The Hutchinson Center for the Arts had just moved into its larger facility in the fall of 2012, with a new Executive Director. This was the first educational program for her, and for our new space. We learned so many things about how to run a weekly program like this. Administration and communication challenges with these young teenagers was overcome by using more Facebook messaging and text messaging. Our instructors found new tricks for how to hold the attention of our students in our large open-floor space. We had to position walls to make sure that they would not be distracted when someone would come into the gallery space or if the phone would ring. We learned that soothing music while the students worked on a project would help drowned out some of the background distractions. Outside of admin logistics we found that these young people would attend other programs at The Center, greatly increasing the impact on our organization. Our monthly Open Mic Night has grown in middle school age attendees, and we credit that to these after school art lessons. We know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would comment on a piece that might be out drying, they were constantly astounded that we had such a program happening...we know that we are making a difference, and growing our arts community. As we previously stated, we know that the impact of having weekly young people creating and learning different art forms allowed for other visitors and participants of The Center to see the potential of our young organization. Each time someone would walk past The Center and would see the young people in class, they would ask about other opportunities that we have available. This word or mouth marketing was and is huge for us. We know that The Center can fill a hole that exists in arts opportunities for our young people.

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

To measure them we will complete the following activities: Dakota Wicohan Arts Coordinator will maintain program records of all arts activities; The 20 middle school youth will share what they’ve learned in focus groups and circles led by Dakota Wicohan staff and the consulting artists; The 5-10 high school apprentices will write reflections of their experiences for publication in our newsletter; The families and audience members will assess their experience in the guest book at each public showcase. The assessment team will monitor the arts residencies. Our participants play the most important role in the evaluation. We are using indigenous evaluation methods to identify the sense of belonging and our new youth leadership project for middle school youth. Results will be used to improve our future arts programing at Dakota Wicohan.

We also hope that our high school apprentices continue to develop their interest in the arts for sustainability in revitalizing the arts in our community. We hope to learn how connecting rural Native youth to contemporary art forms sparks an ongoing interest in the arts. We hope to learn how to model to families ways to support their youth’s interest in the arts. We also hope our organization better learns how to operate arts activities and to support Dakota artists.","The Dakota Star Stories Project met its three intended outcomes, engaging slightly fewer youth apprentices than projected, but reaching many more audience members through more PR channels than projected. It was interesting to see the development of skill between the first and the second videos made by the youth. We are pleased with their growth and confidence as artists.

We will identify barriers to participation in high quality art activities, describe our tools to overcome the barriers, and include a written survey to assess. The barriers to citizens in our region include the following: distance, access, cost, quality, isolation, time, and feeling not invited/not involved. Our tools to combat these complex and real issues are the following: Distance—hold workshop where people live and make it possible and reasonable to attend and return home at night or stay overnight (60 mile radius). Access—advertise to a varied group of potential participants including using local newspapers, local radio stations, Minnesota Public Radio (aimed at a different level of literacy), on-line regional writing groups, previous participants (past 3 years), direct invitations, Facebook, Big Stone Arts website, and Big Stone Art Council one on one invitations. Registration will be on-line, phone, and snail mail to accommodate the comfort level of potential participants. Quality—we have two high quality presenters who will address writers at the level of ability they designate. Students will have access to both presenters at the final presentation on Sunday as well as at the informal dinner on Saturday evening and the free public reading on Friday evening. Cost—charge a very reasonable fee for 1.5 days of instruction and guided practice as well as 3 meals, 2 light breakfasts, and two coffee breaks. Provide discounted rate for traditional student age (22 and younger) and senior citizen age (65). Isolation—build relationships at all the events with special emphasis on how do we continue to stay connected and write and share writing? We plan to organize scheduled gatherings during the year and make available participants emails and phone numbers to the group if they choose to engage in that exchange. Survey as a tool to empower participants—we will ask for anonymous input as well as suggestions for future workshops and ask for new volunteers to step forward to continue to keep the annual writer's workshop a reality.","There was 80-100% agreement that the instructors and their topics were thorough and useful and appropriate. 50% indicated need for space that was warmer and less noisy, and 100% liked the beautiful setting. 15 participants said they would help with the next workshop. 1 person asked for more scholarships next year. The distance from Ortonville ranged from 0-140 miles with several at 20 miles and 90 miles. There were many excellent ideas suggested for future workshops. One of the participants wrote the following on his survey: The workshop achieved the sense of community that it has consistently over the past 4 years. That really matters. The instructors' management of time and inclusion was excellent. So was the planning of the event and the site.

Those who took the time to respond to the CD evaluation survey believed it to be of great value and benefit. For example, one treatment center believed that using the CD to help ground one of their Native American female clients in her culture helped to alleviate her cravings, triggers, and stress. Libraries in Madison, Dawson, and Minneota felt the project would give their patrons an introduction to music they had not heard before and that it would open doors to understanding and appreciation of Dakota culture.

In regards to the musical aspect of the Market, the committee wants residents to not only become aware of the local talent that exists in Southwest Minnesota, but to grow in their appreciation of that talent. A measurable goal for the Market will continue to be to determine if the participant was familiar with the musical talent prior to their visit to the Market and for that participant to also indicate if they are familiar with the type of music that they experienced during the market season. If the musical talent or type of music is something new to the participant, they will be asked, via a survey, what their impressions are of this music. As a way to continually determine what draws people to Central Park Market and to assess their thoughts and feelings regarding musical performances at the Market, the Market committee will distribute the attached survey to participants during market hours. This year, the survey will be made available during and after the market season. The Market committee will also post a link on our Facebook page to a survey link on Survey Monkey that they can continue to submit throughout the market season. The committee hopes that by allowing an online option for the survey, there will be a greater number of responses, including more suggestions on who the Market committee should contact for musical performances in the future.","At the end of the Market season, the committee created an on-line survey on ""Survey Monkey"" to help determine how frequently residents attended the market during the season, how important music at the market was to their experience, what their exposure was to this music and what type of music they would like to see in the future. The survey showed that most attendees at the Market were frequent visitors to the Market; overwhelmingly, music at the Market was very important to their market experience; most were aware of the local musical talent performed; attendees enjoyed the mix of musicians; knowledge of local musical talent was somewhat increased; and a desire for fast, ""up beat"" musicians.",,835,"Other, local or private",3665,,"Denise Thomas-Aamodt, Terry Timm, Becky Timm, Charles Seipel",0.00,"City of Cottonwood","Local/Regional Government","Art Project",,"Music at Central Park Market",2016-05-16,2016-08-17,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Denise,Thomas,"City of Cottonwood","PO Box 106",Cottonwood,MN,56229,"(507) 423-6488 ",charlie@cityofcottonwoodmn.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Lyon, Yellow Medicine, Redwood, Murray, Renville",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/art-project-157,"Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Bill Gossman: visual artist, musician; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; Maureen Keimig: actor, theater director; Mary Pieh: musician.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Georgette Jones: literature teacher, theatre actor/director/teacher; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council; Kate Aydin: retired educator; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member of Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, former High School English/creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Dan Wahl: writer, visual artist, director, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Anne O'Keefe-Jackson: Human Resources Director, bead and quill work; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasurer, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County; Brett Lehman: Worthington International Festival, Worthington City Band, Worthington Concert Association; Reggie Gorter: vocalist, theatre, voice/dance teacher; Dana Johnson: producer/filmmaker; Scott Tedrick: journalist, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, theatre director/actor.",,2 35631,"Art Project",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Cultural Heritage","Our goals are to: showcase culturally diverse artists representative of the population of the city of Worthington and Nobles County, Minnesota; provide an educational opportunity through performances, artisan and ethnic booths, and children's activities about the various cultures represented at the International Festival; to have representation of many diverse and ethnic backgrounds participate in the International Festival; to increase attendance; to provide at least five different cultures represented in the region; to have at least five different cultural minorities represented at the Festival.

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

Both Gard and Dungy treated their audiences to a roughly 45 minute question and answer session after their readings, which audiences thoroughly enjoyed. Audience members asked a number of thoughtful questions and received excellent and appreciative responses. A total of 150 audience members, both local and regional, attended the three readings.

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

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

The execution of these four concrete goals will determine if this project proposal is successful. These goals are structured around a five-month residency opportunity at Kunstverein Letschebach in Karlsruhe, Germany. While there, I will do research at ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, work on my film projects at BURSTSCRATCH in Strasbourg, and create new projects in the German Black Forest. These goals are intended for me to diversify the scope of my Fellowship, so that I am encouraged to seek out different activities and adjust my routine and practices. While they should be reasonable and attainable, I also expect to excel in one area. Perhaps, work begun with the idea of a short film could lead to a feature film, or work begun as a poem could lead to a novel or series, as examples. While I won't be disappointed if I ""only"" accomplish the set goals of this project, I am somewhat expecting and hoping for something bigger to come out of it. Beyond all else, I hope to become inspired by a particular project, and reach above and beyond one area of my goal sets, or perhaps even begin a new, unrelated project all together.","I traveled extensively in Southern Germany and Western Europe, developing strong connections with other filmmakers and curators. During that time, I exhibited work during the Global Forest Festival in St. Georgen, Germany (ongoing July-December 2017), RecRock Music Festival in Buxworth, England (Sept. 8-9, 2017), Cube Cinema in Bristol, England (Sept. 13, 2017) and my final exhibition at Kunstverein Letschebach in Karlsruhe, Germany (Sept. 23, 2017). During my travels, I shot (12) rolls of Super8mm film, which have so far been edited into three short films documenting the Global Forest project.

While creating new work, I will extensively test and develop more colorful glazes for firing my work at cone 3. I have been firing at this temperature for 6 years and have a strong grasp of how to continue developing glazes if I have the funding for materials. The outcome of this project will be visible in the advancement and quality of my work. I have many ways of evaluating the outcome of my work. The amount of interest in my work through art shows and galleries as well as online sales is the most noticeable outcome. I also use a variety of social media to connect with thousands of other ceramic artists who critique or compliment aspects of my work. I am my own worst critic and steadily push myself to make higher quality ceramic art with every piece that I make. I plan to continue entering juried art competitions to increase my regional and national recognition in the ceramic arts.

July 15-August 28: Six weeks of intensive painting, working 6-8 hours per day. Concurrent promotion and marketing for September Exhibition. August 29th-31st: Documenting work and preparing for hanging. September: the work will hang alongside previously completed work at Washington Studio Galleries. While installed at Washington, documentation will be completed as well as promotional materials sent out to both local and greater Minnesota galleries with exhibition proposals. October and November: Assessment of success of series, proposals and promotional materials.","First, I did complete the original planned body of work thanks to both the funding for materials as well as the grant stipend for time.

They will show different types of body expression to show feelings about what they will be reading. Also, in orally reading in small groups they will be working as a team to bring a piece alive. This project will give each child a chance to draw upon two to three different ways to express themselves orally. In the final program they will draw upon two of these methods.","In this residency the second grade students over a two week period learned about world of Readers Theater. The climax of the residency was the oral reading by each child on the last day of the residency. The children read from scripts from a number of pieces of children’s literature. Some of the children read their pieces individually and at other times it was a short script from a poem or story. It was during these oral readings that each teacher kept a record of how each child read their script with voice differences, a variety of facial expressions and different body movements. While the two week residency was not a long time to incorporate all of these areas in an excellent way the children all displayed a good fundamental understanding of what Readers Theater was all about. The chance to do oral readings while their parents were present added so much to the final day and was a good motivation for them as they so much wanted to please them. Each child at this closing event read from two pieces of literature. Also present were at least two other classes of second graders to hear the readings of their classmates.",,400,"Other, local or private",3400,,"Al Dahigren, Les Green, Peter Hamerlinck, Cindy Harner, Bruce Mohs, Jerry VonKorff, Dennis Whipple",1,"Talahi Community School","K-12 Education","Readers Theater at Talahi",,"Talahi would like to bring Mary Dank to our school to conduct a two week residence in Readers Theater for the second grade students.

On these paintings will be short phrases that are a memoir of these days. In doing this project students will be able to (l) Create paintings with words that reflect special days in their lives, (2) Learn that the idea of illustration can add so much to carefully chosen words and produce a powerful painting and (3) Come to appreciate the artistic creation and writing of classmates who will also create special drawings.The students will be able by the end of this residency to create memoir paintings that combine their written thoughts on special days in their lives. In doing this we are bringing together the power of words and watercolors to reflect on special occasions and events in student lives. This residency also brings together a very special component as the many students who come from 14 different ethnic backgrounds reflect on their lives. This takes on a special meaning for the Somalian students at Talahi who in a number of cases are recent immigrants from Africa and have faced some very difficult experiences in their former war torn country. Another aspect of evaluation will be to see how the 85 children of prisoners at the Saint Cloud State Correctional Facility recall unique days in their lives. The teachers at Talahi view this aspect as one that will be most beneficial for these children who have faced some of the toughest situations in their lives.","This residency took on a new direction when the original artist canceled due to a health emergency in her family. The replacement artist, Malia Burkhart, conducted a residency on creating clay masks. Students were encouraged to be very creative and the outcome showed this to be so true. The majority of the masks were of animals and the facial expressions that the students created were a delight. What was unique is that with the special ethnic makeup of Talahi the students created masks that showed many cultural traits. The true evaluation came when the students took their idea and transformed their ideas into actual masks over the two week time frame of the residency.

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

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

The end result was an unqualified success, with positive feedback from gallery board members, artists, and the public.

This recipe is based on the use of Oil of Spike Lavender which I discovered as a solvent through doing the research enabled by this grant. The new medium that I developed dries slower: it allows more flexibility in working time, more translucent layers, and allows color to be manipulated in interesting ways. I was unable to do these things with alkyd mediums (a less toxic alternative but one which dries very quickly and has some other hindering qualities). I gauged my success by my own satisfaction and audience reaction. Studio and exhibition visitors responded well to the new depth of color and the more intricate painting surfaces. I was fortunate enough to sell a very large piece right off the studio wall the week it was completed.

Evidence of this learning can be found in the successful public premiere of my work at the Southern Theater this past July. Comments in audience surveys were some of the most compelling indicators that my personal artistic growth rippled out to create a meaningful experience for viewers; many responses specifically mentioned the text and its unique interplay with the movement, using words like powerful, mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and transformative.

My initial plan was to have a written form for participants to fill out, but I found that a relaxed discussion proved to be an easier way for everyone to reflect on the experience. During our evaluation session I posed the following questions: 1. Was the brief writing session helpful? Did they like having a poem of their own to illustrate? 2. What was their experience using collage as a medium? 3. Was the materials sufficient? Inspiring? 4. Did they gain any new tools, new ideas, that will inspire further creation of their own?

It took a lot of hard work and many hours, but I believe that I’ve put myself on track to continue developing and advancing these new skills.

I will conduct a survey of viewers to determine estimates of number of people who have seen the installation. As part of the survey, I will ask people how long ago they last visited a gallery or museum.","This project has increased my artistic abilities as I have furthered my photography, strengthening the theory behind my work and developing new compositional techniques. I have gained experience navigating the public art permitting process, leading workshops for children, and collaborating with other creators. My success in this area was judged by feedback from others in the field: my mentor, Wing Young Huie, Pillsbury House + Theatre, who provided additional funding, and especially art critics. I achieved the recognition from the press and my peers that I was looking for. A positive review by Camille LeFevre in the Walker Art Center’s mnartists.org blog was a high point of the recognition generated by the project, as was a write-up by Andy Sturdevant for MinnPost. 2: I believe that my project did allow more Minnesotans to engage with the arts. However, the metric I set up to measure this in my proposal was flawed. Many of the people engaged are members of under-represented groups. All of the installation pieces were in English, Spanish and Somali, and I lead several hikes for the Transitions Plus program for young adults with disabilities. I observed people from all ethnic groups and walks of life engaging with the work while waiting for the bus, walking their dogs, or shopping.

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

The imagery for the mosaics was inspired by a poem written by Twin Lakes Elementary students and Lisa. Throughout the process students reviewed mosaic terms and process.

What would make mosaic week better? Is there anything else you want to say or ask?

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

My collection now comprises accessible music field recordings from twenty-six villages in Transylvania, Romania. It also contains three examples from Hungary and one from Serbia. With access to these recordings I was able to expand my Transylvanian fiddle repertoire and techniques. For example, I added a set of six Bude?ti songs to my repertoire that are specific to that village. Their playing technique of using a sliding left hand motion in place of vibrato are not used anywhere else in Transylvania. The result is a crying or weeping-sounding melody. While the technique is not quite natural for me yet, I have established a deep understanding of the basic components of the ornament, when it use it and the goal of its overall effect. 2: My band Száska and I presented an informational performance and workshop on Transylvanian string band music. We focused on how standardized string instruments (violin, viola and double bass) are used in unconventional ways in that region. Highlighting video examples from my archive collection, I led the audience through a musical tour of four villages in Transylvania. As one example, I broke down a specific ornament and demonstrated how it is produced. Then I played a video example to show how those ornaments sound in their original context. Szászka also gave a workshop on Transylvanian folk music from the village of Palatca. Workshop participants were musicians in the Twin Cities folk music scene, but this was their first experience with Transylvanian music.

I covered more than 20 events in the past year and took an average of 50 photos per event which gave me significant amount of experience in shooting subjects that are in motion, working with different lighting conditions, editing and storytelling. As I covered more events and improved my skills, I went back to my portfolio and re-edited and reformatted my photos every 6-8 weeks. I also kept a monthly journal outlining my strengths, weaknesses and short term goals and plans on how I can improve and learn from the events I covered thus far.

We not only got a chance to listen and respond to each other's work, but also to give each other feedback. I received very positive feedback from both the other fiction writers (especially for a story called Craigslist Posts) and audience members. Since many of my stories use humor, it's extremely helpful to learn if and when people will laugh. I discussed promotion strategies and book publishing with Paper Darts editors/founders (Jamie Millard and Meghan Murphy), and I hired a graphic designer, Heather Musil, to create a website. I organized two readings (Magers and Quinn and The Contented Cow) and ran two workshops in Minnesota (one at Metro State for Ed Bok Lee's Advanced Writing Short Fiction and Journal Publication course and another at Center for Hmong Arts and Talent in St. Paul); in addition, my story WataPark was selected to be read at the Vita.mn Summer Story Contest event on The Union Rooftop in Minneapolis.

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

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

It is also important to point out that the use of drawing pencils instills in the students a very strong feeling of accomplishment, that they know what kind of pencil they like to do certain kind of job. The artist has overheard students on many occasion discussing which pencil they ought to use, and asking to borrow a certain one from a classmate. Artist will select a class from each grade and assess the final pictures for different elements that apply to that grade level. 3rd: clear feather patterns; 4th: reasonable proportions and two textures; 5th: use of shadows to clearly show 3D effect.; The artist will be selecting a class at each grade level and pulling aside completed final pictures for an assessment. A picture will show success if they have done the following: Clearly showed feather patterns and value (3rd). Accurately estimated proportions in composing a portrait and depicted at least two textures (4th); used shadows to clearly show 3D form (5th). A tally will show what percentage of students met these outcomes. There will be ongoing observational assessments and guidance as they draw. It is expected that a large percentage of the students will have successfully shown growth through their practice of careful observation, seeing demonstrations of the use of line, and using drawing pencils to show value and texture.""","For the Third Grade project, the artist pulled out a representative sample of owl drawings from a Third Grade class. Out of twenty one drawings that were presented as complete, it was found that all had depicted accurate feather patterns. (Overlap from one feather to the next). Nineteen had depicted shading on the owl, while two had not included any shading, which had been addressed as a way to show the actual softness that is an adaptive feature of an owl's biology. For the Fourth grade project of self-portraits, out of a representative class of 33, the artist found that 29 showed accurate proportion in the placement of the eyes (halfway in the oval blank), while 4 had places the eyes in a more obvious high placement. Twenty five showed accurate proportions for the nose/mouth (halfway to chin/third of the way to chin). Thirty one of the students were also able to show at least two textures in their drawings using the different drawing tools. This included shiny eyes, various hair textures (straight, curly, and fuzzy), textured knit (clothing), hard/shiny (glasses), and smooth (lips and teeth). The Fifth grade class that drew still lifes that was examined for shadows/value depiction showed that out of 26 students, 22 showed these described aspects in their work. They also were able to show textures (fuzzy, furry, smooth, shiny, bumpy, and rough), in addition to overall value differences in the surface and shadows of the objects in the still life. Overall, the artist found that the majority of students showed growth in awareness of the various features and aspects of the items that were drawn in class, and showed learning in how they depicted appropriate features in the subjects/surroundings that they chose to draw.",,,,3500,,"Melissa Brings, Susan Lee, Ken Ogden, Patti Pokorney, Laurie Raymond, Jeff Trout, Stan VanderKooi, Scott Thielmann",0.00,"Northwinds Elementary School","K-12 Education","Artist in Residency",,"Discovery Through Drawing",2015-10-01,2015-10-29,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Shawn,Gombos,"Northwinds Elementary","1111 7th Ave NW",Buffalo,MN,55313,"(763) 682-8888 ",sgombos@bhmschools.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Wright,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/artist-residency-27,"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 32513,"Artist in Residency",2016,3110,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Students will see the positive aspects of their work and other students work.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS: there were 23 unique participants and 48% showed level gains; however, of those that repeated the class, 67% showed level gains on the federal reading assessment. The feedback from the ELL students include an average 4.3 out of 5 in rating their enjoyment of the project. 70% of the students would like to do more art projects. Most students appreciated making a book. One comment that stands out is ""I learn how to wrote sentence and how to match pictures and the word and I learned many things."" This response triggered an idea for improving future projects by simply matching imagery and vocabulary, the students could warm up to the ideas of visual information and creativity. We also learned the following: 1. The Somali-American students call Munsinger Gardens ""The Garden of Love"" because there is one back in Somalia. 2. The students gained confidence with the collage and Zine making by repeating it in the semester. 3. One student from China was married to an artist at one time. She had a mature artistic eye, softer in color and aesthetic, allowing for the conversation to gravitate towards global aesthetics and sensitivities. 4.

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

Artists will be encouraged to attend screenings and participate in Q and A. The community impact will be evaluated by written audience evaluation forms from public screenings and social media. ","The grant allowed me to produce a poetic and evocative 54-minute feature documentary film. Oral and written evaluations from the audience have been my guiding marker. Following the screenings, people started to share their own stories about illness, disease, treatment, caregiving, and recovery. The honest and evocative narrative of the film seemed to both compel the audience to share their personal stories and provide a safe place in which to share.  2: Diverse audiences across the state have been introduced to the poetry and music of several Minnesota artists they were not previously familiar with.

Board Engagement -- Board Members will be passionate about the mission and engage regularly and aim to expand membership and board diversity. Partnership Relationships -- The organization will grow capacity and create greater impact and importance in the artistic development of the Big Stone community. Investment -- Boards of Directors and community members will want to invest both resources and time to achieve long-term and sustainable goals. Accountability -- Board of directors and others involved set goals and regularly assess performance against these goals. The organization consistently provides impactful stewardship reports that illustrate to all donors and stakeholders how together they are making an impactful difference. Expected changes would be a more focused organization with the strengths that a comprehensive plan can provide. The hope that this new energy would translate into increased high-quality arts activities for our community. Through the education of our board of directors and membership and additional evaluation and assessment of our community needs, we will develop an action plan with a specific timeline. Each action will have specific individuals with the skills to accomplish the task. Each action planned will be evaluated by the organization at the monthly meeting.

This project uses the County Fair as an arts venue by encouraging the community to celebrate literary arts with a poetry reading at the museum. The goal is to encourage the community to utilize its resources, such as the Robert Bly Study, for continued support and celebration of poetry and literary arts. It also gives students an opportunity to work with a career poet who lives in Dawson. The goal is to show students that literary arts is a viable form of self-expression and that it is possible to make a career as a writer, and literary artist. Carlson hopes to transform the student's understanding of poetry. She wants students to be less afraid and intimidated by the art form, and hopes to motivate students to write poetry on their own. The intention with this project is to reveal poetry as a relevant and essential art form, that writing is an appropriate and positive form of self-expression, and that poets exist and practice in the world today. The teaching poet describes the measurement of these goals as follows: I will measure these goals in a series of two surveys. The first will be at the beginning of the residency. I'd like to find out the student's enthusiasm for poetry before the project begins. I'll collect the information to help guide my practice and planning for the residency alongside the Dawson-Boyd High School English Teacher, Sadie Solem. At the end of the project I'll repeat the same series of questions. If the students note a marked change in their replies on the survey I'll have a tool for evaluating the success of the project. I'll also work closely with Solem and ask her for input with regard to the project. I'd like to get two affirmations of things we should continue to do, and to areas that could be improved in the future. I'll also count how many attend the reading, and include a survey that asks community members how often they've visited the Robert Bly Study, and if they've been in the study before. This will give information on whether or not the project succeeds in encouraging the community to use existing literary arts resources.""""","Feedback solicited via survey at the Poetry Reading was positive. Most people had been to the Bly study but would not have visited the county museum or the studio that day.

There are three benchmarks that we will monitor: 1) Students who are engaged - asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2) Improved instrumental playing - band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3) Concert attendance and crowd interaction with the Copper Street Brass at the evening performance. We will evaluate the residency in three ways: 1) in-class responses from the students, 2) exit surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance, and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency's culmination. A print and online feedback survey will measure the overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The Copper Street Brass stays in the classroom and on stage after each performance and invites conversation from students and/or audience members.

For participants, we will have open conversations throughout the preproduction, rehearsal, and performance process, and discuss their experiences after the production closes to assess whether they were able to successfully explore and stretch their professional skills in new and challenging and collaborative ways.",,,23290,"Other, local or private",33290,,,,"Dark and Stormy Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Night, Mother by Marsha Norman.",2017-11-06,2017-12-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Sara,Marsh,"Dark and Stormy Productions","2792 14th St NW","St Paul",MN,55112,"(651) 226-6726 ",sara@darkstormy.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-843,"Sarah Abare: Volunteerism, education, youth programming; Adrenne Doyle: Youth programming, artistic, community service, development; Angie Beissel: Fundraising, artistic, organizational development; Binesikwe Means: Artistic, community education, fundraising; Liz Parker: Education, youth programming, general administration; Sharon Day: Artistic, community education, youth programming.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher, performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair at El Arco Iris; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Osman Mohamed Ali: Somali Museum of Minnesota Founder and Executive Director; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support, Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Djenane Saint Juste: Afoutayi Dance Company Founder; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer, Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10001982,"Arts Learning",2017,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Education","Quantitative: 615 K-8 students (the core group) will have an extended arts learning experience with flamenco dance, music, and culture. 1,292 PK-8 students will experience flamenco dance, music, and culture as audience members in the community celebrations. 460 adults will attend community celebrations.

On one hand, there are people who understand the importance of embracing and learning about a new culture that will continue to populate within our existing community. These folks are willing to tackle the challenges that such integration will present and willingly advance our goal of cultural and artistic education. On the other hand, there are folks who are either resistant to community change or simply have not been educated about how accepting this change can strengthen the community and enrich their lives. 1) Katha Dance Theatre wishes to reach new and diverse audiences outside the Indian community, and 2) wishes to expose Kathak dance to a broader audience base, 3) wishes to provide educational opportunities to community members that may have not had access to diversity programing.

Our evaluation methods for this project will include, but are not limited to: Katha Dance Theatre's post performance panel discussion.

Addressing each of our three goals: Goal 1--Participation: We had strong participation, increasing throughout the program period from about 40 at the first rehearsal, to the last few averaging closer to 50. People were enthusiastic about being there, evidenced by them inviting other friends to attend, suggesting songs to sing, suggesting places where we might perform next year, asking to make a CD, asking ""Can I sing a solo on this song?"" These were all frequent observations. And new relationships were and continue to be made. One member said, ""This is the only place where I can make an actual friendship with someone with a disability, and I'm not seen as the helper, or support staff, or authority. We're just equals having fun. So we look forward to seeing each other and singing together. Goal 2--Lifting up Advocating Change Together's vision: The People's Chorus successfully spread the mission of disability equality in both our performances and our rehearsals. We educated and empowered our members and audience through the words of the songs. We also lifted up the mission of community integration by modeling it in who we are as an integrated arts group performing. For example, at a December performance, one audience member said, ""I've been coming to performances at Hamline for 25 years, and this is the most powerful thing I’ve ever seen."" Through our singing songs of power and liberation, as an integrated group that includes people with intellectual disabilities, the People's Chorus is displaying power and pride and ""ordinary person-ness."" Goal 3--Building leaders: Twenty seven (27) people with disabilities played leadership roles: 17 sang a solo or lead a call response song, 4 served as welcomers to greet members as they arrive, 14 spoke up to offer ideas for how to perform a song, how to do it better, how to make rehearsals run more smoothly. Yes, we successfully reached our intended community of adults with developmental disabilities and their allies without disabilities. IN this now our second year, we are noticing how important this singing opportunity is for the core members. They look forward to it. They look forward to singing, they look forward to seeing other members. This is truly an open and integrated arts group. We do have the challenge of getting equal participation numbers from people without disabilities. (See Project Changes, below). As for promoting community diversity: We were the first disability group to participate in Hamline's theater for social justice day, which brought a new diversity to that annual arts/theater event. We were also the first developmental disability group to perform at the Macalester Plymouth Church's Sunday service. [Note: this is the organization at whose building we meet and rehearse.] They invited us to present at their Sunday service as a relationship-building opportunity between them and us. After the service, their music director asked if we could host a joint rehearsal with their choir and ours. We were successful in making this an open accessible artistic opportunity. About 25 % of members arrive using metro mobility or city bus. 5 members use wheelchairs and were able to fully participate, as the venues of rehearsal and performance, and the methods included them fully. Indeed, two members who use motorized chairs for movement and use synthetic speech devices to ""talk"" actually were the song leaders for a call response song called ""We Are the Ones."" It is a song in a call/echo format, where the leader sings a line, everyone echoes it back, continuing back and forth. Having this type of leadership at a public singing performance is truly transformative for everyone, audience and chorus members. It's a rare opportunity to experience total and never before experienced equality and shared humanity--without the sympathy and pity so often sullying any attempt to create peer connections between people with disabilities and their friends and allies and general public.

Our aim was to create a safe space for the kids to explore the basic structures and challenges in the kids’ live. The stories they chose to tell addressed family, being an immigrant, overcoming racism and islamophobia, and their desire to good students. When Average Mohamed began this project, we set out the following goals: Short-term: serving 15 students, teaching the required skills, producing videos within schedule and budget, creating an experience which empowered the students. Long-term: Connecting with the broader audience, encourage dialogue within the Muslim community as well as externally. We feel that we met the short-term goals in that we had a group of approximately 20 regular participants. They met each Saturday for six months, and learned how to create a message, write a script, provide constructive criticism, create story boards, record voice-overs, and edit their cartoons. The five videos focused on Family, Islamophobia and Racism, School, Soccer Star, and Being a new Immigrant. There were several things that did not go as planned, the most significant of which was that the Young Achievers group backed out due to scheduling conflicts. This left us scrambling to find another group of kids with which to work. Fortunately, we were able to connect with a group from West Bank Athletics that fit the same demographic of teenagers from the Somali community. We did have to readjust as the language skills of this group were a bit different from what we had anticipated. Several participants had only been in the U.S. for a short period of time and were uncomfortable communicating in English. This group was also coming directly from a soccer practice, and were always famished. We soon learned that providing food for them made the sessions much more productive. This was also a transient group, with many students changing housing locations 3-4 times within the six month period. They were all enthusiastic about participating, but transportation was often an obstacle. The director of Average Mohamed often ended up providing transportation for the participants. Although most of the project went as planned, there are a number of things we would do differently the next time around, the most important of which is shortening the duration. Originally we had planned for one-hour sessions to meet once a week for six months. In hindsight, it would have been better to do two-hour sessions for three months. One hour was simply not enough time to go into depth and it often seemed as if we would have to wrap just when the conversation was getting interesting. Since the sessions ended in June, the unveiling of the videos coincided with the month of Ramadan, which was less than ideal. Our release party was not as well attended as we would have liked since many of the families were fasting and often do not go out during the day. The surveys we conducted at the end of the project indicated that the participants felt empowered by the project, and the feedback was overwhelming positive. Some felt that we spent too much time talking about the challenges they faced, and not enough time talking about solutions, so that is one thing we will try to incorporate in future programs. In our proposal we defined the community we wished to serve as kids, ages 8-14, from the Somali community. The group we worked with was slightly older, 12-18, due the switch from Young Achievers to the West Bank Athletics group. The greatest obstacles to participation were language, the fact that the kids were hungry and had a hard time focusing, and the fact that the kids lacked transportation. These obstacles were overcome by having the instructor translate into Somali, providing food during the sessions, and providing rides to and from the sessions. The group discussed issues ranging from family, the challenges of being new immigrants, their experience with racism and islamophobia, and about their dreams and ambitions. More of the classes were conducted in Somali than we anticipated, and the language issues created more challenges in recording the voice-overs than expected, but we were able to work with the recording studio to bargain for some extra time. We would love to be able to offer the program to a larger group of kids, but keeping the class size relatively small was crucial to keeping a manageable dialogue where the participants had an opportunity to share their ideas. We would often break into small groups, and a larger class size would have been difficult to manage. We were able to reach a broader audience by hosting a public event to launch the videos and by posting our videos online. MPR did a short story on the creation of the videos and the community event, which brought out quite a few people to the launch party that might not have otherwise attended. For many of the participants, this was the first time they had ever been involved in this type of discussion. This experience provided an opportunity in which the students could voice their frustrations in a safe space, develop language and public speaking skills without fear of failure, have an open discussion with one another, and frame the conversation around their own thoughts and ideas, rather than in response to community events. We were able to make the project open and accessible to all who wished to participate. In the future, we will plan more resources for language translation.",,,,10000,,"Mohamed Ahmed, Farhiya Farah, Maren Christenson Hofer, Peter Krug, Christine Skovira",,"Average Mohamed","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Average Mohamed Youth Cartoon Project",2016-07-01,2017-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Mohamed,Ahmed,"Average Mohamed","5209 Humboldt Ave N",Minneapolis,MN,55430,"(612) 310-2843 ",mohamedamin_1@hotmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-936,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10004718,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"We had 240 total artists (73% of cast and crew) including 22 contractors and 218 volunteers who worked in various visual and/or performing arts roles. Volunteer artists included 126 adult visual artists and 69 adult performing artists, plus 6 youth (age 13-18) and 17 children (age 12 and under), representing 8 visual and 15 performing artists. Of the 22 artistic contractors, 15 also performed. Our project, entitled ""You Were Once Wild Here,” was a thrillingly beautiful show that largely achieved our proposed artistic goals, with several key challenges. Though we didn't quite hit the 350+ total participants as proposed, we did have 330, including a cast of 99 (total performers) and a crew of 231 (total non-performers). These included 52 contractors (16%) and 278 volunteers (84%). Volunteers included 7 youth (3 performers) and 17 children (12 performers) – the youngest age four. Among all participants, 90 were mainly in non-artistic roles (27%), and 240 were mainly in visual or performing artistic roles (73%), with some in each. It would have been our first time staging six shows, but our second weekend Saturday show (which normally attracts our largest audience) rained out so that we only staged five. The rain-out was our first since 2009, third since 2005, and only the second we couldn't make up. Performers included 17 musicians compared to “dozens” proposed, but 82 main stage performers compared to “85+”, some of whom had multiple performing roles. These included 59 puppeteers/dancers, 21 fire performers (with 15 safety spotters) including, for the first time, two fire acrobats, as well as 10 stilters, 9 ritual performance artists, and 8 bike puppeteers. We did not have aerialists as proposed, included since 2010, due to our inability to attract a lead aerialist willing to perform in late October temperatures. We had two notable challenges involving staffing and artistic directorship. First, contractor staffing was delayed by two months and didn't start until July, so that artistic staff were not hired until after August 1st, our goal for it to have been done. This caused a cascade of delays. For example, the Staff Orientation scheduled for August 14th was not held until September 12th. Probably because some contractors were not in place for the Storyboard Process, there was no storyboard to present at the Community Kickoff on September 13th. Likely owing to delayed story boarding, we had an average run-time of 89 minutes, well past the target ideal run-time of 60 minutes that we defined in 2012, which probably lead to significant audience walk-offs on the two nights with the largest attendance. Second, staffing became rushed. We eventually hired a solo Artistic Director for the first time (instead of two Artistic Co-Directors) who, in spite of being an experienced stage director, didn't have experience directing puppetry arts or working on our production. This resulted in two serious directorial challenges, a shortfall in the capacity for attention and communication at outdoor rehearsals, and a clash of leadership style with veteran contractors and volunteers fraught with perceived communication and respect issues. The Board has since established staffing policies that favor Artistic Co-Director applicant pairs, and require any solo Artistic Director applicants to have had prior experience on the production. We had volunteer participation generally as proposed. After our volunteer count hit 250 in 2012 and 300 in 2015, it was down slightly at 278. We recruited mainly with MailChimp and Facebook, and our Volunteer Coordinator used SignUp.com for the first time to promote volunteer opportunities and schedule and remind volunteers. We again faced perennial challenges to fill some of the non-artistic volunteer roles in audience services. As late as four days before opening night, for example, urgent appeals were being sent to e-mail networks for Parking Hands and Ushers on opening weekend. For the seventh year running (since going to five shows), we had a total audience of 6,100+, down somewhat compared to the prior three years. Our shows drew an average nightly audience of 1,341 and a total audience of 6,704. This was down 1,244 (16%) from our average total audience of 7,948 for 2013-15, and was closer to our average total audience of 6,395 for 2010-12. Attendance was, in fact, extremely similar to our 2011 production, the last time Halloween fell on a Monday, which also featured a run starting on October 22nd and a very similar schedule of SA/SU + SA/SU/MO compared to FR/SA/SU/MO in 2016. After setting both opening night and weekend attendance records for the last two years, and in spite of ideal weather, opening weekend attendance of 2,081 was down 927 (31%) from the three-year average of 3,008 for 2013-15, and was very close to the 2011 total of 1,941. Reasons for lower opening weekend and overall attendance are complex. There could be a socio-cultural factor surrounding a Monday night Halloween. Besides weather, key factors influencing past attendance have likely included how early before opening weekend we issued a press release, and the amount of print, broadcast, and online media coverage the show received prior to opening weekend. In 2016, our press release went out one day past our latest date target of three Wednesdays before opening night. For the first time in recent memory, our performances received no staff interviews, feature articles, or reviews from any of the major Twin Cities mainstream or alternative news media that have covered us in the past, including Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, TPT, Fox 9, MPR, Minnesota Monthly, City Pages, and Unicorn Riot. In addition, upon the request of City of St Paul, we intentionally limited our largest two audiences to 1,800 and 1,900 by additional staffing and “at capacity” announcements at the park entrance, to significantly reduce 2,000+ bubble audiences as occurred in 2013-15. In terms of ADA accessibility, during our run 33 cars used reserved accessible parking, 116 audience used reserved accessible seating, 7 audience used ASL services, and, for the first time since we began offering Audio Description in 2011, 2 audience used AD services. We counted 515 bikes on our racks at performances representing generally 7-10% of our audience nightly and 8% of our audience overall.",,56457,"Other,local or private",66457,,"Jan Elftmann, Scottie Hall, Joel Swearingen, Heather Hinrichsen, Jeff Adams, Tom Carlson, Angie Courchaine, Dan Polsfuss, Peter Schulze",0.00,"Barebones Productions AKA Barebones Puppets","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"23rd Annual Halloween Outdoor Puppet Extravaganza",2016-07-01,2016-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Brent,Harring,"Barebones Productions AKA Barebones Puppets","PO Box 7246",Minneapolis,MN,55407,"(612) 374-9103 ",puppets@barebonespuppets.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-937,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10004719,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Twenty-four classical music ensembles will participate in the project.

Audience feedback showed that the audience enjoyed the performances, and felt closer and more connected to the music through personal contact with musicians. The Artistic Goals of this project, as defined in our narrative were: 1. Present intimate concerts to connect with audiences in meaningful ways. 2. Challenge ourselves with demanding repertoire that is both technically and emotionally satisfying. 3. Expose audiences to significant masterworks of the Baroque era. 4. Promote and educate audiences about Historically Informed Performance. We believe that we achieved these goals. Addressing our 1st goal, we performed our concerts in The Baroque Room, an intimate chamber music space designed acoustically for baroque music. There is seating for 60 people, but it feels full with as few as 20 people in the audience. They are seated on the same plane as we are, and the front row is 5 feet away from the nearest player. This small space allowed us to have a direct connection to the audience with our performances, removing the barrier between performer and listener. We know that this was true for our audience because they would sometimes ask us questions between pieces, and were open in their emotional involvement in the music. Their reactions affected us directly as players, and we responded musically in turn. We felt that we had an exchange with our audience which was very fulfilling emotionally. Addressing our 2nd goal, we certainly challenged ourselves with our choice of repertoire! Concert I was challenging to Marc Levine, our violinist, who played as a soloist alongside his teacher Marc Destrubé. Concert II was programmatically challenging. ""A Baroque Christmas"" is a program we do every year, but we pick different music. This year included technically challenging music, especially for Tulio Rondón (viola da gamba), such as Marin Marais's La Sonnerie and a Telemann Paris Quartet. This program also included colonial fiddle tunes that Marc Levine (violin) improvised upon. Concert III was especially challenging for Tami Morse (harpsichord). She performed 12 sonatas in 3 days, of some of the most difficult music for harpsichord. It was a marathon for her especially! Concert IV was a challenge to Tulio Rondón (cello), as he played cello sonatas alongside his colleague and our guest Beiliang Zhu. It was a satisfying season for all of us! Addressing our 3rd goal, we exposed our audience to Baroque standards such as the JS Bach double violin concerto, the JS Bach f minor harpsichord concerto, and music by JS Bach that one might not necessarily hear, such as all the violin and gamba sonatas in 3 days. We programmed music by lesser known composers such as Avison, Muffat, Becker, and Barrière. Addressing our 4th goal, we spoke at every concert about historical performance practice, our instruments, and the repertoire. The greatest challenge we all had was learning so much music at a high level. Three back-to-back days of Bach sonatas, for example, was extremely difficult, since all 12 needed to be learned and maintained at the same time. In the future, we would spread a project like this out over the season. We successfully reached our intended community of musicians and audience members. Our audience was diverse in that there was a wide range of ages attending, including children and grandparents. Our ticket prices are not too high ($20 adult/$15 senior and student), and we made an effort to give out complimentary tickets to people we know that would not be able to attend otherwise. In terms of ethnic diversity, there were Chinese and Canadian musicians, and two of our core members are Venezuelan and mixed-race Japanese American. Approximately 10% of our audience was made up of minority ethnicities. As a group, we have discussed how to have a more diverse audience. We are thinking about a number of solutions such as performing in different locations and handing out comp tickets to minority communities. Next season we are MPR class notes artists, and will be performing for mostly elementary-aged children. We are happy that we will be exposing younger people to baroque music, and hope to encourage the most enthusiastic to attend our concerts in the future. Our concerts were all open to the public and handicapped accessible. Our flexible seating allowed us to put people in wheelchairs right up front, or on the end of a row. We made an extra effort to make everyone in our audience comfortable, and they seemed to appreciate it. All in all, we served the community that we expected we would, and are brainstorming about how to expand that community to be more diverse in the future.",,14975,"Other,local or private",24975,,"Marc Levine, Tami Morse, Judy Gilats, Andy Wilson, Maria Jette, Beth Wenstrom, Johanna Novom, Nissim Schaul",0.00,"Flying Forms","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Flying Forms 2016-17 Concert Series",2016-11-12,2017-04-22,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Marc,Levine,"Flying Forms","275 4th St E Ste 280","St Paul",MN,55101,"(651) 705-6772 ",info@flyingforms.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-939,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10004721,"Arts Activities Support",2016,8000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"We have grown to a choir of 160 members, averaging 42-43 members for each rehearsal. While those numbers are impressive, even more impressive is the ownership that has grown amongst members. People insist on spreading out the work and make this their choir. We sang in 9 different venues from the Capri Theater to Target Field. Our confidence and pride grows with each performance. The 3 goals we set were met with great vigor! Our membership grew from 42 to 144, the majority (90%) live in the Mill District. Our outreach to people who live in poverty and are homeless has increased our membership with a carload of men from Harbor Lights joining our choir, and a group from Alliance and Emanuel Housing. We performed at a Twins Game, at the Guthrie, at the MacPhail Music Matters Luncheon, at the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence, at the Capri Theater, at the Skyway Senior Center, and caroled throughout the Mill District at Winterfest. Our mission is to sing songs of hope and unity, and we do that, and while audiences seem to respond with enthusiasm, the real changes are in our community of singers. The most effective part of our year was the formation of a community. We begin rehearsals with hugs and end with hugs. Everyone is welcome and everyone is greeted. It started as my role, but quickly expanded to include everyone. Several women from Alliance self-designated themselves as the organizers, and they are. They come early, help set up chairs, and then make sure everyone who walks in is welcomed and hugged. We also hold an 'end of session' potluck at a nearby condo. That has become something to anticipate and, again, has been taken over by the group. There truly is no group leader, other than JD when we sing! The model we found is working! We are passionate about our group. There was a 3 month hiatus planned for January-March of this year, and there was so much discussion about THREE months being too long, that we found the money to add in March rehearsals. We want to bring in neighbors from the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. That has not been successful up to this point. It would be a major point of effort if we are allowed to repeat this grant. Expanding our rehearsals from 24 to 30 is a major new goal. In our grant proposal, we suggested that we would ‘solicit audience opinions about their enjoyment of performances via short questionnaires about our stated artistic and community goals.’ While we did not use questionnaires, we did solicit opinions. The questionnaires became logistically problematic, so we decided to ‘spread out’ after performances and solicit opinions from audience members verbally and report back to the choir about the remarks. The majority of comments were about the magic of JD Steele, the diversity of the singers, and the enthusiasm and passion with which we sang. We performed in very different venues to very different audiences, ranging from the Guthrie Theater, the MacPhail Music Matters Luncheon, at the Concert Across American to End Violence, Winterfest on 2nd Avenue in the Mill District, to singing ‘Take Me out to the Ballgame’ during the 7th Inning stretch at a Minnesota Twins game. It is difficult to imagine a more diverse range of venues, although we are determined to add audiences next year. Our goals were met in ways we couldn’t have imagined, and we far surpassed anything we were able to imagine. Our intention to do outreach to diverse communities was accomplished, but we are clear there is much more work to be done. We did not perform in the Cedar Riverside community and are already in discussion to do so next year. It is a slow process as we discovered. Gaining entre demands gaining trust and that is done by ‘showing up’ which is exactly what a group of us has begun doing, and we are confident that next year we will accomplish this goal. We ended this season with 160 members on our roster. The average attendance at rehearsals seems to have ‘settled’ at 42-43 singers. We have carloads of men from Harbor Lights attending, people from Alliance Apartments and Emanuel Housing, as well as many members from the Mill District condominiums, as well as members from condos in the St Anthony neighborhood. There is even a ‘friend’ who drives from North Branch to sing with us.

Free-will offerings increased 50 % in comparison to last year. The Bauman Fine Arts Concert Series consisted of four concerts during the 2016-2017 season. These concerts showcased interdisciplinary experiences, world class professional musicians, award winning dancers and amateur artists including a children’s choir and dance troupe from the Twin Cities. Overall, this project proved to be creative, educational, artistic, and spiritual for both the performers and audience. The first two concerts, “Love and Death at Harvest Time” and “O Holy Night” were held at Hazel Park Congregational United Church of Christ. The acoustics enhanced the sound to a high quality giving the listeners an intimate insight to what the musicians hope to hear as they produce the sound. The drawback to this concert space is the positioning of the musicians. Due to a faulty architectural design, the soloists are separated from the piano/harpsichord making this an added challenge to communicate while performing. In order for future performances to take place in this setting, significant thought is needed for proper positioning of musicians. “O Holy Night” shared the stage with professional musicians and a children’s choir. The children got the opportunity to hear and experience professional musicians in their neighborhood. Though both of these concerts were family-oriented, we recognized two things: 1) “Love and Death at Harvest Time” needed more relatable music for the younger audience to truly make it family-oriented and 2) in the “O Holy Night” concert, we needed to build a better relationship between the soloist and the children’s choir, so it did not feel like two separate entities coming together for one concert. The third concert, “World Music in Motion” was a beautiful display of dance and music at the Steeple Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. The music seemed as though it was written for the dance and the choreography was shaped to each note. The stage at the Steeple Center was beautiful and yet two things were noticed: 1) the musicians were so far to the back of the stage to make room for the dancers that it was hard to hear at times; 2) this concert really focused on the performance more than the educational component. More interaction with the audience may have been elicited if more explanation of the style of music in conjunction with the kind of dance was more fully articulated. The fourth concert, “New Music” was a milestone of professionalism as Asako Hirabayashi premiered her new work, “Espressivo-Siciliano-Vivace,” trio for oboe, bassoon, and piano. It was a high caliber performance showcasing musicians from the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra. The concert was held at Parkway United Church of Christ and the acoustics made the music soar giving the attendees an opportunity to engage this kind of music outside the walls of Orchestra Hall. The only drawback to this concert was the lack of a stage manager which would have facilitated smoother transitions between music selections. The Bauman Fine Arts Series reached a new level of artistic involvement by the individuals who performed in this 2016-2017 program. The multidisciplinary projects gave artists an opportunity to work together in ways they may not have otherwise. The assortment of styles and techniques made the work both professionally engaging and challenging. The Bauman Fine Arts Series reached our intended audience; however, not to its fullest potential. Our average attendance was 65 individuals. Attendees were women, men, gender non-conforming, young, old, different abilities, races, ethnicities, and religious affiliations. Our largest attendees were white, which leads to our main question, how do we better engage the diversity in our neighborhood? Is it through the music performance, is it through the educational component? Our completed surveys indicated that individuals appreciated the repertoire presented; however, this was answered by a majority white audience. Many of our regular concert goers did not attend “World Music in Motion” at the Steeple Center. Even though this was a professional stage, our attendees did not want to travel to a third ring suburb of the Twin Cities. Also, it was noticed that even with substantial advertising in the Rosemount area, we did not see a significant number of new concert attendees. If we choose to have another concert in this venue, more advertising research is needed. Our final concert, “New Music” in North Minneapolis was an example of true collaboration between two organizations with established concert series. This concert also featured highly acclaimed musicians who bring a following of their own. With that said, attendance was diverse and new attendees were present. Our work with the Bauman Fine Arts Series has to be more strategic in collaborating with other organizations within the Eastside St Paul neighborhood as well as other targeted organizations in the Metro area in order to get the word out more fully. The publicity schedule that was outlined in the grant proposal was completed and yet, we are finding that building relationships with specific organizations will prove more beneficial in the future for advertising and community involvement.",,,,10000,,"Sara Morse, Asako Hirabayashi, Julie Kovacs, Sara Mensen, Andrea Marshall, Clea Galhano, Margaret Humphrey, Momoko Tanno",,"Hazel Park United Church of Christ","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Bauman Fine Arts Series 2016-2017",2017-06-30,2017-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sara,Morse,"Hazel Park United Church of Christ","1831 Minnehaha Ave E","St Paul",MN,55119,"(651) 735-2555 ",hirabayashi.asako@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Dakota, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-941,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10004723,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The goal of the project is to offer 30 to 35 concerts at Hosmer Library, with the concerts taking place on Saturdays at 2:00 pm and 3 to 5 outdoor concerts at Painter Park and other neighborhood sites, which will take place in evenings with at least 1,600 people in attendance.

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

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

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

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

I witnessed tears of joy and tears of sadness emanating from the women after they had expressed themselves through their works of art. I would like to change where the final reading takes place. Currently it takes place in a gymnasium that is very spacious and the acoustics are poor. In 2017 - 2018 I am going to attempt to hold the final reading in a large programs area, this may be a bit cramp however it would be worth a try. The participants all were hoping to ""practice"" their poems and writings before the final reading. I feel this is a fair request and I will attempt to incorporate some practice time into the four week program. In my proposal it was hoped to reach out to the other female inmates. I was successful in this endeavor, I provided lemonade and cookies at the conclusion of each public reading. Although this was a carrot for the other female inmates to attend, it was interesting to note the positive interaction and socialization the female inmates had after each one of the three public readings. In addition to the female inmates attending, I had the Sheriff, under Sheriff, Commander, Assistant jail Administrator, program staff, probation officer and we even had a retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice attend the public readings. I feel it is important for the other division heads of the Sheriff's Office to understand what the jail is attempting to do accomplish, i.e. rehabilitation and Re-Creation.",,5300,"Other,local or private",15300,,"William Hutton, Dan Starry, Roger Heinen",0.00,"Washington County Jail","Local/Regional Government","Arts Activities Support",,"Women Writing-Creating a New Narrative",2016-07-01,2017-05-03,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dan,Starry,"Washington County Jail","15015 62nd St N",Stillwater,MN,55082,"(651) 430-7927 ",dan.starry@co.washington.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Washington,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-950,"Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 10004732,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access",,"This season 80 orchestra musicians and 160 singers performed with 8 featured guest artists in front of 2,590 concert attendees. We experienced a 34% increase in overall audience attendance and estimate 17% were first time Wayzata Symphony Orchestra attendees. 89% of individual donations this season came from renewing contributors. 11% of our donations came from new contributors, showing an increase in our base support. The Wayzata Symphony Orchestra sought out to advance its mission of bringing together accomplished and passionate musicians to engage the community with enlightening concert presentations. We were successful in achieving the following goals: Present new and familiar technically challenging works in every concert. Partner with local soloists and composers to bring light to new artists and works. Illuminate the ‘inner life’ of the music through verbal commentary and multimedia presentations. This season was challenging yet rewarding. We presented a world premiere, time-honored masterpieces, showcased world class soloists and incorporated multimedia into our performances this season. Our collaborations challenged the orchestra to accompany guest artists at a very high level which resulted in positive feedback from audience members. Each season we strive to broaden our community and this season we were successful in reaching more people through various social media and streaming outlets. We encountered challenges with live streaming to assisted living communities this season. The acoustics in the Wayzata Community Church sanctuary proved to be challenging for the live stream. In order to continue in these efforts, we will have to find quite a bit more funding for equipment which will enable a higher quality product. However, we learned about what is needed to better the technology for the future. We enjoy educating our audiences with facts about composers and their works. This season we were successful in reaching our goal to include information about our orchestra members and guest artists in the written programs. Our goal is to continue to use our Long-Term Planning Committee to further develop ways to reach and educate our audiences in the future. We were successful in reaching our intended community this season. Our outreach efforts of presenting four diverse programs resulted in reaching more new audience members. Specifically, the “Wind Wizards” program reached more children and youth because of our unusual ""Balloon"" soloist; the collaboration with Minnesota Poet Laureate Joyce Sutphen attracted audience members interested in literature and poetry; The Brahms' Requiem attracted and engaged audiences who know and love choral music and that piece in particular; The Planets program with our guest narrator from the Minnesota Astronomical Society brought a large number of audience members who were attracted by the science focus of the concert. We feel that with our programming this season we targeted a diverse audience community that we had not reached in previous seasons.

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

After each program, we debriefed with our staff and asked key staff members at the partner organizations to complete an online survey to evaluate the quality of the experience, any problems encountered, the impact of the field trip and recommendations for the future. We considered the program a success when participating organizations were interest in coming back for further enrichment, and when our contacts let us know that they would not have been able to participate in our arts education without this grant. 2: Following a program assessment of the previous years' Creative Adventure program, we determined that in order to provide a high quality program for all visiting groups, we needed to limit the number of groups attending the park as well as assure that the group sizes were kept manageable enough for our tour guides and teaching artists. This limitation improved our ability to offer the highest quality experience to all participants without overloading the guides and artists with more students than they could handle at one time.

In addition, the youth participated in employment training through a partnership with Youth Apprenticeship Project, a program of Augsburg College's Center for Democracy and Citizenship; went on field trips to SteppingStone Theatre and Mu Performing Arts; and worked with guest artists like spoken word artist El Guante. The final project, From Time to Time, was a one-act play of personal stories written and performed by the youth that incorporated music, writing, and video.

Theater was a perfect medium for teaching the youth about life and employment skills, both essential for successful futures. The apprentices felt safe and comfortable working with each other and with Z to tell personal stories that became part of a new theater piece. The youth not only developed lasting relationships and new artistic skills, they became more knowledgeable about the world of work.

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

Because of the transient nature of the community, Kulture Klub Collaborative values all level of participation.","Youth experiencing homelessness had fewer perceived and real barriers to making video art. Kulture Klub Collaborative is passionate and skilled at making arts experiences accessible for youth experiencing homelessness. This program was no different. Kulture Klub Collaborative utilized numerous tools in minimizing barriers. This program had several young parents who participated often. With this grant, we were able to offset child care costs. All youth received transportation support and many core youth participants received stipends for their leadership. We also offered snacks and meals when appropriate so that youth weren't struggling with basic hunger needs. In addition to all this, Kulture Klub Collaborative works closely with 30+ partner organizations at Youth Opportunity Center to address other basic needs. These include case management, housing, mental and physical health support, laundry, showers, food shelf, and clothing. For instance, a participant who was feeling ill was able to access the free clinic and return to the residency activity. 2: Youth experienced authentic invitations to participation, including a flexible and fluid program that allowed them to drop in once or twice. However, youth could attend every week and have a depth of engagement in the work. Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and Youth Advisory Council worked closely with Jenny Lion to develop a program that met these needs for engagement. To make a video, youth only needed to spend about 30 minutes in a program. Or, youth could drop in for an hour to design and paint a backdrop. However, many youth came session after session, even dropping in outside of program time to work on the video booth or learn technical skills. In evaluation sessions, it was clear that participants felt a deep connection to the activity and the artist. Finally, the process and products from the residency were exhibited in the Kulture Klub Collaborative gallery space. This created additional opportunities for youth to return to the project, and for new youth to gain exposure to the work.",,6438,"Other, local or private",29285,2925,"Kathryn Ross, Ellen Guettler, Mike Killeen, Malik Watkins, Kate Suchomel, Ashley Duffalo, Kelsey McGregor",0.00,"Kulture Klub Collaborative","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Video artist Jen Lion will be in residence for six weeks at Kulture Klub Collaborative, connecting youth experiencing homelessness to their stories.

Qualitatively: A barrier survey will be circulated to one-time participants.","The goal was to build new relationships with high needs clients. Specific to this program, the outcome was clearly achieved based on repeat attendance. Because the population is a highly mobile constituency, repeat attendance usually eroded as living conditions shifted. However, youth came to expect the activity and would ask are we doing art today? We were able to translate some of the new relationships into longer engagements with you. Many clients in the daytime program transition to the more mainstream evening program where Kulture Klub Collaborative does most of our work. In one case, a daytime client B.D. joined the Kulture Klub Collaborative Youth Advisory Council and is currently a paid intern with the organization. Another youth D.C. deepened a relationship and skill level during the program to where Kulture Klub Collaborative invited him to have a solo exhibition in our gallery. This was the first time we have ever done a solo youth show. 2: Kulture Klub Collaborative is proud to report that youth experienced fewer barriers to participating in art. This group of youth deals with significant struggles, and meeting people where they are at is critical. Kulture Klub Collaborative distributed mid-session barrier surveys to gain more insight into the community and learned that transportation was a major issue. Kulture Klub Collaborative started distributing more bus tokens and saw a sharp increase in attendance. Barriers were addressed with the support of Kulture Klub Collaborative Social Service Coordinator Susan Pohl. Susan was available for ongoing consultation and support for the numerous mental and chemical health issues the youth were struggling with. Working closely with this population, it became apparent that self-medication and chemical abuse is a significant issue for this community.

Exposing students to various arts opportunities will be evaluated post-residencies by student and teacher evaluation forms that will include the number of students and teachers involved, their prior involvement in similar art forms, and their responses to the their experiences. 2: By providing rich and diverse exposure to the domains of the arts, we plan to increase arts participation. Before and upon the completion of the grant a survey will be distributed to parents and instructors assessing whether the project created interest in the arts. Staff will be assessed for the integration of art concepts into their regular instruction.","Because of this grant, the students were exposed to art forms that they had not experienced previously. Hands on activities in dance, creative writing and mosaic making gave our students the opportunity to work with professional artists in a way that gave them insight into the artist's art, lifestyle, and ways of working, as well as providing students the opportunity to develop their own artistic interests and skills in these areas. This outcome was evaluated through student surveys conducted before and after the residencies. Student knowledge about and interest towards dance, creative writing and mosaic making was significantly higher following each residency than it was before the residency. Student work during these residencies was another valuable evaluation tool. Dance performance videos, impressive fairy tale books from each classroom, and 3 stunning mosaics hanging in our halls are proof that student artistic abilities were expanded. 2: All of the communities in the Lac qui Parle Valley school district were given the opportunity to witness three very different artists at work and have them share their enthusiasm for their art with students, as well as adult. When asked about their knowledge about and interest in dance, fairy tale writing and mosaics before the residencies began, there was curiosity, but not any real awareness of the art forms or much excitement or interest in them. Post residency questions showed an increase in both knowledge and interest in dance, creative writing and mosaics, along with quite a few comments about wanting to pursue these areas more in the future. Many students and adults seem more aware that there are other exciting artists, near and far, who are expressing themselves in a variety of exciting ways and that it might be fun to check them out.

Minnesota Center for Book Arts and each partner designed a free all-ages community program to generate interest. Low-cost intensive weekend workshops then developed creative expression for beginning and experienced learners. Student evaluations indicate Minnesota Center for Book Arts’ success at removing barriers to participation.

After each residency Minnesota Center for Book Arts provided additional book art resources to art centers, libraries and other interested organizations so that local interest could be sustained and developed.

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

Staff can assist in identifying interested residents and help manage their concerns about leaving their facility. In a year, we should be able to identify almost every Assisted Living Facility on the Iron Range and to make contact with staff. If there are barriers to participation, our organization should have worked with the staff to help create access for at least 150 persons. 2: Assisted living facility staff inform us that proximity to toilets is the most serious concern of residents who would like to attend Northern Lights Music Festival concerts. Transportation is a secondary concern. We must know locations of bathrooms in each theatre and how many stalls are accessible. We must seat clients with concerns in the back of the theatre on aisles near staff so that they can quickly be moved without disturbing other clients. We will arrange efficient transportation. ","We were able to identify more than a dozen assisted living facilities throughout the Iron Range, including the Vermilion Range and the Mesabi Range. We have become acquainted with the varying functions of each of these entities and the administrators in charge of each. This allows us to bypass some facilities whose residents are too infirm to venture out for a day or evening at a concert or opera. We recognize that over the years, some of these facilities will change their focus but on the relative short term--a period of perhaps three years--we can proceed with our plans without re-tracing our steps annually to ascertain the type of resident in each facility. We have built sound relationships with the administrators in each facility. 2: We learned about accessibility to each of our theaters: Identifying sufficient rest rooms near to the stages to be prepared for the numbers of attendees on walkers and in wheelchairs, along with their caretakers. Partially as a result of our activities, we can report that Chisholm will remove some seats in this year to allow for greater numbers of wheelchairs. Last season, we found that many persons in assisted living facilities were hungry for activities--and our lectures before the events were well-attended and invoked audience participation in the form of questions from the listeners. Knowing how frail some of the residents are, we were gratified that so many made the effort to leave the comfort of their homes to come to join us at the opera performances.

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 average donation made was down $1.30 than projected based on the past 3 years of the Garage Tour, reaffirming a persistent economic barrier to participation. Also, in the one-on-one interactions with audiences and hosts during the post-performance gatherings we can generally ascertain if a host was able to attract an audience broader than their known friends.

We reached out to the Latino/a and Somali communities in the Twin Cities. Torres Tama, the artists of Hmong Bollywood and Sabra Falling offered storytelling and writing workshops for artists and community members to tell their own stories. Free tickets were offered to participants to see plays. Through our Home project that included Somali and Latino/a artists, the project expanded participants’ creative and technical skills, including theatrical project development, story circles and professional development. In addition, Pangea convened pre and post-performance panel discussion with community members in which key issues were discussed. A network of 20+ Somali and Latino/a community leaders and allies gathered for group meetings to be updated on the program’s progress, provide feedback and share ideas. 2: Our efforts to mitigate barriers included providing buses to students, a pay as you can policy for audiences that cannot afford tickets. We provided transportation to community members to make it to gatherings and childcare. We also distributed fliers and brochures announcing gatherings and multi-lingual performances in multiple languages. We provided interpreters at meetings. This was to increase the level of comfort for our immigrant communities. In order to educate our audiences in theatrical forms and increase awareness and knowledge of theater, our post performance discussions were also in the form of panels that included speakers.

The Paramount is increasingly recognized as the place for schools/organizations to go for authentic arts learning. 2: Because of this grant, the Paramount was able to demonstrate our ability to engage more Minnesotans in arts learning opportunities by facilitating and coordinating deep/ rich experiences.

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

Success, in this case, is measured by attendance and quality of experience.

We know from previous experiences with free ticket programs that a large percentage of those who attended had never been to the Reif Center before (and had never seen live performing arts).

We accomplished this goal by blocking out 10 seats for all 42 events in our 2013 calendar year. We then created vouchers for the free seats and delivered them to the staff at SHNCFB who, in turn, distributed them to their clients. SHNCFB staff maintained a system whereas they could track who received vouchers to ensure as many new people as possible were able to attend live performing arts events. We feel our collective efforts created a very successful partnership and a valuable community service. 2: When we created our estimates, we had only one half of our season booked (Jan-June, 2013) as we run on a fiscal year of July 1 to June 30 versus a calendar year. As we rounded out our new season and included the requisite July to December events, we came up with a total of 42 events at ten tickets each, or 420 total vouchers distributed. That said, the vast majority of voucher holders redeemed their vouchers the night of the event, and due to congestion in the ticket lines on event nights, we complete a quick sale action in the box office that doesn't allow us to record names, addresses, and demographics.

In the Master Class, all participants- both active and observers- will complete an evaluation of their experience. Bemidji State University Music faculty contact will evaluate through written impressions on the impacts of the master class on the students. Participants of the Career Paths Presentation will fill out a survey seeking the effects of the presentation on their future career paths.","Positive audience engagement was witnessed throughout the Mahler performance and evidenced through a sustained, emotional, and enthusiastic standing ovation.

Additional evidence of success may be found in increased student participation in the 7-12 choirs at Tracy Area High School. Further, the community-building aspects of participation in this elementary choir will foster positive relationships among its members that may well last through high school and beyond.","The primary objective of this project was to create a new ensemble as an additional offering to students not currently served by an existing fifth and sixth grade band program and not old enough to participate in existing school choirs.

Our Spoken Word Committee, Bemidji Community Art Center board members and staff will make observations concerning logistics such as the audio system placement, seating arrangements and the number of people attending.

","26% of our audience experiences opera for the first time via the Operetta. 60% reported this was their first time seeing the Operetta. Most of our audience, 56% reported hearing about the show from friends of family members. ""Friend saw a show in 2012 and he's been raving ever since. In town for the weekend and had to catch it!"" Our audience has been great advocates for the production. Donald Giovanni in Cornlandia was a big success with audiences in the metro area. We received big audiences at performances at the JD Rivers' Childrens Garden, the Skidmore Park Community Garden, the Alexis Bailly Vineyard (two performances), the Bronx Park Community Garden, Dodge Nature Center's Farm Education Center and Frogtown Farm. We received a lot of coverage in local press, praising the musical, theatrical and edible elements of the production. Reviewer Arthur Dorman of Talkin' Broadway praised the production: ""The Picnic Operetta does not pretend to be serious opera, or even operetta, but a delightful send-up of the form, which can be enjoyed by opera buffs and those who don't care for opera, or perhaps have never seen an opera at all. Don Giovanni in Cornlandia is ninety minutes spent in natural surroundings, laughing and having our wits sharpened a bit, enjoying some genuinely lovely Mozart compositions along with some soul tunes, some rock, and some country—and being pampered by the tastes and scents of seasonal foods. The audience includes young and old, and there seems to be something in the Picnic Operetta for everyone to enjoy."" The satirical and political elements of the show landed well on our audiences as we responded to current events, including the Iowa caucuses and the presidential campaign. Members of the cast relished performing in a broad and physical style and relating to an audience in an intimate outdoor setting. ""'m extremely proud of the show we put forth. It was like lightning in a bottle given how intense this election season has been. The opportunity to meet the angry zeitgeist of this season with a show that brings laughter to anyone was incredible and so fulfilling. The project itself of the picnic operetta encourages playfulness and imagination as a performer that I really loved learning to embrace. I think it all went quite smoothly."" Artistically, a few small holes remained unfilled during production, involving props and scenic painting. Our design did not fully take into account sufficient translations of the Italian text in the production. Many props were not created with materials durable enough to handle the outdoor conditions, including rain. Future planning with designers will take these needs into account. Set pieces and equipment used for touring were unreliable and involved a complicated set-up that took an inordinate amount of time. This included our flatbed trailer, which was used as a shelter for the band. This piece of equipment broke several times, welding needed repair and the tires on the trailer blew. This created some burn out for members of the production crew. 2016 was our 8th year presenting the Picnic Operetta. Most of the communities where we perform are very familiar with our work. We have a loyal following and dedicated outreach via our marketing staff and our host partners in each community. Our company values inclusivity and accessibility. Our reservation system is elective, with audiences using an on-line system and making voluntary contributions on-line. Audiences have offered positive feedback regarding their experience regarding this system. We do not turn anyone away at our production. However, we have noted from our post-performance evaluations, that our audience is consistently very white, middle aged and upper middle class. Nearly 500 audience members filled out our post performance survey. 48% of our audience stated that they were between 46 and 65 years old. 94% said they were white. 27% reported household incomes greater than $100,000. For 2017 we wanted to broaden our support and reach more young people. We did meet our goals of openness and and accessibility in the communities where we perform. Traditionally we get a mixed audience of people attending our show from within the community where we perform and people who travel to see our show at a specific venue. 30% addend the performance within their community. 26% reported that this was their first time seeing live opera. Our planning team has concluded that we need to do more specific outreach to group serving youth within the communities where we perform. In 2017 we are developing partnerships with Urban Roots on the East Side of St. Paul and Youth Farm in South Minneapolis, to buy vegetables and work with youth to develop menu items for 2017. We are also planning a performance in North Minneapolis for Project Success students and families. For 2017 we are adding a performance at a community garden in Powderhorn Park. Audience members responded positively to the accessible spirit of our performance. ""Favorite food was the cucumber! Love the energy of the performers, music, and the show's goal of more diverse and accessible opera."" ""Loved your cast! It is wonderful to be in a community that supports art and the outdoors.

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

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

Over 100 professional and amateur artists participated in the project. The concert attracted more than 1200 spectators. 67% of the survey respondents indicated the Forgotten Treasures concert being one of the best concerts produced by local Chinese arts group in the recent years. (1) Our main goal was to produce a full-length concert featuring Chinese Popular Songs and Art Songs from the Modern Era (1920s-1940s) that were banned due to political censorship between 1949 and 1978, and never again re-introduced systematically. We performed a number of choral songs written in the Modern Era: “Lift Your Veil,” “Joy of A Snowflake,” “Tuberoses,” “Shepherdess,” in the concert.

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

Our evaluation plan includes providing surveys to all who attend the Twin Cities Book Festival in the exhibit hall and at the readings in the Fine Arts building; as well, we will pass out raffle tickets for attendees to enter a free raffle, which allows us to get a general count of attendance, gain some demographic information, and capture emails in order to send out a more thorough post-Festival survey.

Readings attracted over 1500 audience members. The Book Fair featured 142 exhibitors. 85% attendees rated the event a 4 or 5 (scale of 1 to 5), and 99% said they plan to attend future Festivals. 47% experienced the Festival for the first time. 49% stayed for 1-2 hours, while 36% stayed 3+ hours. Most exhibitors made $100-$1500 and liked the community. Rain Taxi successfully staged the 2016 Twin Cities Book Festival on October 15 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, drawing over 6000 booklovers to the day-long celebration that includes a book fair, readings and signings, and activities for all ages. The Festival kicked off Friday with an opening night party and talk by Kathryn Aalto, on The Natural World of Winnie-the-Pooh. Saturday started off with a bang with a Morning Mingle—over 30 local poets, novelists, and more met with Festival attendees and signed books. Minglers included John Coy, Allen Eskens, Chris Monroe, Faith Sullivan, and Marlon James. Throughout the day, thousands thronged the exhibit hall to peruse nearly 150 publishers, literary orgs, magazines, authors, and more who presented books, author signings, giveaways, deals, and fun all day long. Folks of all ages helped create a giant collage in celebration of 100 years of Dada and tried their hand at a bicycle-driven letter press, creating postcard-sized broadsides. The Children’s Pavilion featured STEM-based activities, along with readings by local authors/rockers Stephen and Trisha Speed Shaskan, and Kare11’s meteorologist Belinda Jensen. Visiting illustrators Philip C and Erin E Stead joined author Michelle Cuevas in presenting their picture books. Youth programming featured Minnesota authors Abby Cooper, Brian Farrey, Kelly Barnhill, Shannon Gibney, and Lara Avery; visiting authors included Stuart Gibbs, Sarah Mlynowski, MA Larson, AS King, and Kathleen Glasgow. Adult presentations in the Fine Arts building included Minnesota authors Stephanie Wilbur Ash, Jason Good, Geoff Herbach, John Jodzio, Mary Mack, Ray Gonzalez, and Charles Baxter. Visiting authors included poets Michael Waters and Janice N. Harrington, comics artist Eddie Campbell, novelists Francine Prose, Lidija Dimkovska, Derek Palacio, and Karan Mahajan, and comedian Phoebe Robinson. One challenge we faced was budgetary. While Rain Taxi won a general operating grant from the State Arts Board, this disqualified us from receiving a Minnesota State Arts Board grant that directly fueled our Festival. Our Board applied to many local businesses for co-sponsorships, but were rejected. We also lost our Metropolitan Library Service Agency partner and co-sponsorship, as they had a retraction in legacy funds. We ended up revamping our exhibitor table fees, offering some premier exhibitor spaces and sponsoring exhibitor options that carried a larger price tag. Even with these increased prices, the Festival is a bargain compared to many across the country—our tables sold out swiftly. We also scaled back on publicity expenses, spending more on digital and targeted advertising. We continue to struggle with the Fairgrounds over having enough food vendors, and received many complaints from attendees. The Fairgrounds didn’t notify us until a week before that we had no inside food vendor and only one outside vendor. We will explore other venues, but so far, the Fairgrounds are affordable and offer enough space and parking. The Twin Cities Book Festival brought together a diverse array of audience, participants, and artists—all book enthusiasts who enjoy celebrating the written word in an energetic and fun setting. The Festival featured a diverse array of presenting authors from many different genres and interests, including African American comedian and podcaster Phoebe Robinson who spoke to a standing-room only audience about her feminist-inflected book You Can’t Touch My Hair. She attracted a wildly diverse audience as to race and age and gender, and her talk was ASL interpreted. The Canadian showcase was also quite diverse, with African Canadian novelist André Alexis and poet Fred Wah, who is part Chinese. Our international authors showcase, The Personal and the Political, featured Indian author Karan Mahajan, Yugoslavian writer Lidija Dimkovska, and Cuban Derek Palacio. Eight of the nine events were ASL interpreted. Exhibitors included publishers, magazines, arts organizations, and more, including Mizna, Button Poetry, Twin Cities Sisters in Crime, Green Card Voices, Minnesota Literacy Council, and more with appeal to book-lovers of all kinds and ages. The venue at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds is ADA accessible, and the spacious Progress Center allowed for plenty of room for navigating wheelchairs and strollers. The Festival engaged people of all ages and backgrounds. Our attendee survey revealed that for 47% of respondents, it was their first one. The rest had returned 2 to 4 times. Most were attracted either by a featured author or the book fair. And 90% spent at least $16 or more at the Festival. When asked what they enjoyed about the festival, one said “Literary geek out with like-minded folks.” Another remarked, “The variety of vendors was the best I’ve seen.” And one enjoyed “the sense of community.” Creating connections and conversation in a lively atmosphere made a difference to the community.",,50000,"Other, local or private",59900,,"Stuart Abraham, Jill Bresnahan, Kelly Everding, Rachel Fulkerson, Renoir Gaither, Mark Gustafson, Kristen Hager, Margaret Hasse, Tim Hedges, Pamela Klinger-Horn, Eric Lorberer, Margaret Telfer, Paul Von Drasek",0.00,"Rain Taxi, Inc.

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

Participants, coaches, and audience were as outlined in the proposal. Southwest High School orchestra received 40 hours of sectional coaching sessions for strings. Two Southwest High School orchestras received a total of 20 hours of string instrument coaching, and 3 bands received a total of 16 hours for woodwinds and brass. Summer Kids Play reached our intended participants, although not as many as we had hoped for. 12 coaches worked with 22 students last summer for 3 sectionals and a full student orchestra rehearsal. Diversity in both School-year and Summer Kids Play reflected the diversity in the school ensembles. South High School Orchestra: 2 orchestras, 24 and 28 students each. Minority students served included 7 Hispanic, 4 African American, 3 Asian, 1 Native American. South High School Bands: Wind Ensemble (45 students, 40 white, 5 African American or Asian), Symphonic Band (40 students, 34 white, 6 Asian or African American), Concert Band (39 students, 29 white, 10 Asian or African American). Southwest High School Orchestra: 60 students, including 5 African American, 10 Asian. The basic goals for openness and accessibility were met. However, it was difficult to meet our enrollment goals for Summer Kids Play. As the orchestra director at Southwest High School said, “Honestly, I don’t see how the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra could work better because I have LOVED the way we do it at Southwest. I’d love to get more of our kids going to the summer orchestra opportunity but both transportation and getting kids to commit to the rehearsals is tough with other camps and work.” In 2017 Summer Kids Play enrollment increased to 32 students (not within this granting period); we will continue to work on increased enrollment for 2018. 236 students enrolled in band and orchestra at South and Southwest High Schools participated in coaching sessions held throughout the school year. 22 students received sectional coaching and performed in Summer Kids Play in 2016.

On February 12, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater performed in University of Saint Thomas Asian Student Association. In each outreach concert, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater received enthusiastic responds for its cultural and ethnic dances which were rarely seen outside of China. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has successfully reached its mission of bringing the world of Chinese dance and Chinese culture to the public and providing access to this art and promoting the art through the passion of its members. By presenting a variety of Chinese ethnic dances with authentic costumes and music, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has become one of the most regarded cultural organizations. Many organizations invite Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater to perform at the cultural events. Some even collaborated with Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater in its 2016 annual concert: Xu Qian Music Center Chorus and Mr. Ying Zhang, a traditional Chinese musical instrument soloist. The Chorus performed songs that augmented Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dances and allowed Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dancers to change their costumers for the next dance. Mr. Ying Zhang delighted the audience by playing a rare Chinese castanets solo using ""Radetzky March,"" a fusion performance of the east and the west! However, some audience members commented that the musical performances were ""boring."" They said they would rather wait for Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater dancers to be ready for the next dance than watching the musical performances. To rectify the audience's comments regarding added musical performances, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater will split the dancers into two groups. Each group will alternate; Group A will perform dance 1, 3, 5, 7... while Group B will performance dance 2, 4, 6, 8... thus the musical performances wouldn't be needed. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has successfully reached its intended community. The annual concert drew over 380 audience members which comprised of 62% Asian, 30% Caucasian, 4% Black, 3% Hispanic, and others. The outreach activities were attended by over 1,000 people! Yes, Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater's outreach effort in Mall of America on January 28, 2017 had attracted many audience members who had never seen Chinese dance before. They commented on how beautiful the dances were and they subscribed to Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater email list to receive future performance info. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater has achieved its goals for making Chinese dance accessible to all by performing in varies cultural events. The outreach concerts were all free and audience members can subscribe to Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater email list to receive future performance info or visit website. Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater also gave away 50 free senior tickets and 100 free student tickets to Chinese school children who otherwise would not have come to the annul concert.",,12500,"Other, local or private",22500,,"Hanxin Sun, Haijiang Kuang, Lei Lu, Karen Ding, Lori Janey, James Lee, Jianglin Yuan",0.00,"Minnesota Chinese Dance Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Folk Dances of China, the 24th annual concert featuring folk dances from different regions of China.

During the production phase, we will survey the production team using a short series of fill-in-the-blank questions, e.g., “I’m worried that ________ will be the least effective part of the spoken word series,” following up when necessary with brief 1-on-1 phone interviews. Directly after the screening, we will collect audience reactions using a one-to-ten scale to determine our Net Promoter Score regarding the event, and on the Monday following the screening, we will collect poet and filmmaker reactions using a 5-question participation survey; we'll also track YouTube hits and social media activity for the online releases.","100% of our artists reported a desire to work with Motionpoems again. All of our three institutional partners reported a desire to work with Motionpoems again. Two of our five poets have either taken up film classes of their own or initiated another film project after engaging with this project. All but three of our artists came to the premiere at IFP Minnesota (those three were out of town). All artistic goals were met. We hired E. G. Bailey as our Guest Producer, solicited poems from the local spoken word community with help from several activists in that community, recruited filmmakers, negotiated contracts with all artists, completed all films on time, screened them all publicly at the Walker Art Center and IFP Minnesota, paid all artists, and evaluated our programming as planned. We are always re-tooling our production model, changing up our partnerships, exploring new ways of working. This project was a first for Motionpoems in that we haven’t yet turned our attentions on the spoken word poetry community, and we were grateful for the opportunity to do that. Motionpoems is a national organization, drawing poets and filmmakers from around the world, and this project allowed us to focus some attention on our local community of artists and serve artists here. We found the community receptive and enthusiastic. Poet Kevin Yang loved his project, mainly for the way film reimagined his poem; he’s talking about getting into filmmaking classes at Saint Paul Neighborhood Network now. Poet Louis Alemayehu liked his film despite early trepidation. Poet Blythe Baird liked how Valerie took her film to the Women’s March, a film that broadly interpreted her poem; she initiated another film project on her own after engaging with us. Poet Dessa Wander was thrilled with her film, a highly stylized Coen-esque reimagining that took audiences by surprise. Filmmakers reported favorably as well. One liked “how much creative freedom I had. I also enjoyed talking to the poet a lot about her work and what we planned on doing. Also, in creating the piece, how intense it was working with only women in front of the camera! It had a different energy or vibe.” Another: “Being able to explore and being able to just step out of my narrative filmmaking style truly allowed this project to challenge me... which I really like and enjoyed. The experience was definitely worth it and the diverse cast of poets and filmmakers was incredible!”All artists reported in surveys that their completed film would help them in their careers. “It’s a great showcase of my film archiving work and reinterpretation of history,” wrote one. Two said they would submit their film to film festivals. Said another: “It allows me to have a more diverse video work to show to my clients or recruiters looking to hire me for my work, as Motion Poem truly allowed us to experiment and have full control of production.” Yet another: “I will use it on grants, promotional material, and as an inspiration to create more work/collaborate across mediums.” We successfully reached our intended community. We had no particular audience demographics in mind, fully aware that the spoken word community is extremely diverse, but we did stress the importance of diversity in the selection of our filmmakers, which in the end skewed female and minority. Open calls for poets insured that everyone connected to the Loft’s spoken word community or the local slam teams knew about the opportunity. Our partnerships with Button Poetry, The Loft Literary Center and IFP Minnesota assured broad notification and awareness. Attendance at our events is always free and publicity was supported by The Walker, Button, The Loft, and IFP Minnesota. Since one spoken word film was completed early (October), we included it in our annual Motionpoems premiere at the Walker which was produced in partnership with Cave Canem, “a home for black poetry” in Brooklyn, New York. This emphasis inspired a more diverse crowd than is typical for Motionpoems, and we’re proud of that.",,5500,"Other, local or private",15500,,"Jennifer David, Andrew Gamson, Angella Kassube, Tim Nolan, Daniel Slager, Andrew Reynolds, Kara Ries, Susannah McNeely Schouweiler, Susan Smoluchowski, Anne White, Jason Welsh",0.00,"Motionpoems, Inc.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce five films based on spoken word poems under the leadership of spoken word and film artist EG Bailey.

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

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

Indeed, part of the Studio’s success in the past has been to introduce the artform to artists who would otherwise not consider it a viable outlet for theatrical or musical expression. The Studio is designed to include both emerging and established artists, who tend to interact with each other with gusto: the emerging artists learn from the established artists, and the established artists gain access to “beginner’s mind”. We cast a wide net across the Twin Cities’ arts community, and since we are especially interested in nurturing artists who may not think of themselves as traditional writers or composers, we contact a wide variety of performing arts organizations for suggestions for possible participants. In this case, we successfully reached our target community. We had 5 established artists, and 10 emerging artists; 2 artists of color, 5 female artists, and 1 transgender artist. Our selection process is rigorous, as the evaluation panel consists of previous participants who know the program, and the two directors. We were very pleased with the mix of participants.

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

The closing event, while affected by bad weather on the day it occurred, also contributed to community diversity due to the variety of guests attending. Also, the goal to make the project open and accessible to those who wished to participate was met due to the fact that the project took place at the day program participants attend during the week, so it is known, accessible, and they make choices about what they'll do during the program day. Additionally the project was accessible as the assistant art instructor during the project period was Partnership Resources' primary art instructor, Candice Simpson, which helped ease the transition to working with a new instructor, James Holmberg, who served as the project's lead instructor. The project gave participants an accessible quality arts experience because physical, social, and financial barriers were removed with the help of Regional Arts Council funding.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Evaluation of the success of this project will include a count of the audience attending, an estimation (based on voluntary audience survey) of diversity of the audience. We will also conduct singer surveys and host a post-project joint meeting/debrief with both the Saint Paul Vocal Forum and New Day singers, for a group discussion to understand how this project impacted their ideas of homelessness, human resilience and the power of music to create connections.""","By survey, 100% of choir members expressed deeper understanding of “every voice matters” –they found connection in the process, appreciated the different places we come from as we interpreted the music, found meaning in the emotional rather than the intellectual interpretation of the music, and focused on connection and trust as the project went on. 225 audience members attended the concert. “Success for this project will be realized when our choirs come together to create a concert that speaks deeply and builds connections between singers and audience.” As we reflected on this, we realized that the originally planned repertoire would not lead to this success. As a result, our theme changed to one of inclusivity and our desire to “draw the circle wide.” The new repertoire included all singers-both Saint Paul Vocal Forum and New Day – in all songs as one choir. With this change, we met our artistic goals and surpassed our expectations! Our August retreat brought together both choirs to explore the music which centered on the concept of Widening Circles. We shared stories and perspectives about the musical messages, we shared a meal, we created shawls for every singer to wear at the concert. We began the process of writing our own verses for an arrangement of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” facilitated by Jean Greenwood and J. David Moore. The repertoire selected by director Karin Barrett explored the idea of widening circles, widening our perceptions…it gave all the singers some challenge. It also musically represented the theme by including rounds, and by including the audience in the singing (widening the circle at the concert). Asking Saint Paul Vocal Forum to commit some of the music to memory created a new level of engagement. While the challenges of directing New Day remained (attendance is fluid, more process oriented rather than goal oriented) it was important for them to understand that their contribution was key to the success of the program. NEW DAY was grateful for the opportunity to learn more about reading music in addition to teaching by imitation, and they expressed that this was really important to them even though it was quite a challenge! A reception for all the singers and audience members followed the concert. Many choir and audience members took advantage of the opportunity to talk together about their experience. It was very well received. The strength of the process was the collaboration, coming together for rehearsals at Saint Christopher Place, where many of the New Day singers reside, and owning the idea of being part of a unified circle of existence – all of us, regardless of our backgrounds or stories, are part of the inclusive circle. The challenge of the process was to stay in the process…to not get drawn into a more goal oriented approach, which is what Saint Paul Vocal Forum is used to. Working with NEW DAY made us more aware of the process of music making, and this helped Saint Paul Vocal Forum singers who may have been frustrated or judgmental at the outset to shift the focus from judgment to joy in the process of singing together and finding deeper value in our collective voice. The concert was held at Central Presbyterian Church in downtown St Paul. While the New Day choir rehearsed at Assumption, they were not available to host the concert. We believe we may have lost some Dorothy Day audience because of the added distance-a consideration for a future project. The singers from New Day included people of color and people who have experienced homelessness or those who support them – clearly one of our intended communities. We hoped for more singers to participate in New Day, but feel like this was a good start due to the fluidity of this demographic. There were between 8 and 10 singers who consistently joined us…4 women and 4-6 men, depending on the day. Overall, the community who came to hear the concert was more diverse both economically and racially than our normal audience due to friends and family of the NEW DAY singers. We also attracted new audience members who were interested specifically in the collaborative vision that this concert represented as well as audience members interested in supporting people experiencing homelessness. It was disappointing that we did not see as many people from the Dorothy Day Center as we had hoped would attend the concert. We believe part of the difficulty was that the concert couldn’t be held at Assumption Church which is just across the street from Dorothy Day. Central Presbyterian was about 4 blocks away. While a concert is one format, to really engage the people who are experiencing homelessness who use the services of Dorothy Day center, the concert program would need to be at the facility or right there outside. This is something in the works for a future time! We have been pleased that interest remains high in both choirs and the audience to continue this collaboration! In order to be open and accessible, we held joint rehearsals at Saint Christopher Place, where many of the New Day singers reside. We also provided rides for New Day members to the concert venue as needed.

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

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

We also met our goal of serving over 1,200 audience members at the Friday showcases as well as having over 40 staff members who taught at our programs. We were able to make our project open and accessible to a diverse group of participants. We were able to offer financial aid to 21% of campers and did not have to turn any participant away due to finances. Our program was also open to participants of all abilities. Roughly 55% of our participants had never played their instrument before camp and they were all able to successfully write and perform a song. We have been putting very intentional work towards making our program open and accessible to students of all racial and ethnic makeup. This year, that included a racial diversity training for all staff members that was presented by YWCA. We also tried to put advertisements in as many diverse media outlets (newsletters, social media, Radio K, Women’s Press) to ensure we were reaching all communities. This year, the racial makeup of our participants (as self-identified on their registration) was, 65% White, 5% Multi-Racial, 5% Asian/Pacific Islander, 4% Hispanic or Latino, 4% Black/African American, 1% American Native/Alaskan Native, 16% Other or Unknown. We are working on several strategies to further increase our outreach and accessibility to women and girls of color. New this year, we expanded our programming language to be inclusive to students who identify as female, gender non-conforming, genderqueer and trans. This made the program more inclusive and safe for a diverse group of students, especially for students who identify as part of the LGBTQIA community. In order to accommodate students of all identities, we talked about gender pronouns with the campers and had every camper write their gender pronouns on their name tags. We were not able to collect statistics on how many participants identify as LGTBQIA, but 44% of the staff members at GRRR this year identify as LGBTQIA. 100% of parent/guardians reported that the camp was a safe space for students who identify as female, gender non-conforming and trans. 94.7% of the campers indicated improved skill level and 88.6% indicated that they felt like their songwriting improved.

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

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

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

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

We will keep participation counts for all events, tracking numbers of artists, youth, and adult learners attending. We will conduct participant surveys in conjunction with all workshops and apprenticeships, and gather written feedback from panel discussions and community meet-ups.","We grossly underestimated our reach in all cases. We had originally projected to work with 30 artists, but we quickly realized we needed to draw from a wider, more diverse pool of artists for our Panel Discussions and Community Meet-Ups if we were to equitably engage with the issues and communities for which we were holding space. Additionally, our Youth Workshops, originally slated to be taught by four pairs of artists, quickly became much larger endeavors as the needs of the schools and youth camp clarified, and more teaching artists were needed to maintain our good teacher-learner ratios and more representative exposure of both the kinds of art practiced in our community and also the demographics of the people practicing it (we finished at 54 artists engaged instead of our projected 30). We had originally planned for our Youth Workshops to engage with groups of 20 students each, but in discussions with the schools, we quickly found the need to engage with far more students and adapted to that. We entered multiple classrooms and gave professional performances to large numbers of students which were then used as jumping-off points for further engagement and learning (we finished at 1296 youth learners instead of our projected 80). We had projected that participation for our Adult Workshops would average 75% (up from 60% in our first 2 years). However, our workshops all were either 90% full or sold out, and participation in our Discussions and Meet-Ups nearly doubled from previous years! We account this to a more aggressively spreading the word through social media, a better organized newsletter, a more established presence, but perhaps most of all to an outreach effort rooted in going directly to communities that are often overlooked or sidelined and building intentional, two-way relationships. That approach also informed our outreach in working with teaching artists, specifically seeking out artists who are almost never given a public face, either because of who they are or what they do. Our very affordable prices were combined with an aggressive scholarship policy, trading a massive discount in exchange for ""helping set up and load out with the instructors"" (or, in other words, pay less for additional instruction time), and light food and drink provided on-site. This helped alleviate a lot of the traditional barriers preventing access to the arts, which was precisely our main goal as regards community. Of our teaching artists, more than half were women. The Asian-American, African-American and Latinx communities were represented among the teaching artists. This representation was important given the large numbers of women and people of color among our participants, especially our youth participants. Both our Apprentices were new to the technical theatre. One is a Latinx musician and the other a Hispanic visual artist, both of whom intend to use their new skills to support communities traditional theatre typically does not interact with. Technical Tools of the Trade held 8 workshops, 4 panels, 4 community meet-ups, and organized 2 apprenticeships. We served 1296 youth learners, 181 adult learners, and 54 artists. Of the participants that completed surveys, 96% of adult learners and 79% of youth learners reported that their skill level or community engagement was improved by Tech Tools programming for a total of 83% improvement program wide.",,29225,"Other, local or private",39225,,"MIchelle Pett, Robin Gillette, Jen Rand, Molly Diers",0.00,"Technical Tools of the Trade","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for an education program in technical skills and design in the performing arts for school-age through adult students from February to October of 2016.",2016-02-01,2016-10-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Laura,Wilhelm,"Technical Tools of the Trade","3451 Wilshire Pl NE  ",Minneapolis,MN,55418,"(612) 968-5539 ",admin@techtoolstraining.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-691,"Stephanie Nevilles: Disabilities specialist, volunteerism, youth programming; Karen Gundlach: Artistic, education, youth programming, Community Education; Mara Miller: General management, artistic; Justin Christy: Education, general management; Jennifer Halcrow: Fundraising, general management, volunteerism; Dudley Voigt: Education, artistic, youth programming; Lynda Monick-Isenberg: Artistic, education; Hlee Lee: Artistic, general management; Ian Vaver: General management; Shana Crosson: Computer design, education, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 36010,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","550 people attended.

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

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

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

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

A sustainability plan will be developed that examines and plans for supporting arts programming costs through ticket sales, outreach performances, and additional funding sources and partnerships with the school district and a local university.","Woodland Hills could only offer theatre with this support, thus the type of arts learning opportunities at Woodland Hills increased. Also, this outcome was measured by a pre-program survey, which indicated only 10% of arts learners had taken part in an in-depth theatre arts learning experience, thus increasing the quantity of arts learning opportunities for Minnesota youth. The majority of theatre experiences indicated by arts learners took place in schools, so offering theatre at a residential treatment center increased the venues for arts learning opportunities. Secondary: Following the completion of the project, 77% of participants said they would definitely or were interested in participating in theatre in the future. In final reflections, 65% of arts learners indicated the arts learning experience helped them gain understanding about their own personal experiences with how people use power and 89% indicated the project helped them work toward treatment goals. 2: Woodland Hills is challenged to develop a sustainability plan that supports arts programming through ticket sales, outreach performances, other funding sources, or through partnerships with the school district or local universities.

Many in our audiences told us our presentations were different from the usual fare, our programs being education-based rather than entertainment-based. The long-term association (seven monthly visits) allowed us to offer a sequential music education experience of more breadth and quality to the residents than they usually receive. We also experienced community building as people discussed their reactions to the content of our material, and in many cases introduced themselves to each other, and even rallied together for our return in the future! We assessed our outcomes through a written questionnaire distributed to the audience members as well as a different one for the Activity Directors. We received positive feedback from both, emphasizing enthusiasm especially for the learning aspect of the presentations. 2: We visited ten varied senior residences; facilities ranged in size, demographics of residents, participation of activity directors, etc. This Arts Learning grant allowed us to bring our series at no cost to the venues.

Tressler will work with Duluth composer and arranger to craft a new work for fiddler and string orchestra which Quartet Project students and the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra will premiere at their joint concert on July 27. The Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra evaluates the effectiveness of the Quartet Project by the number of student participants, student and instructor written evaluations, comments from parents, audience attendance and response for the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra concert that features the Quartet Project, and by camp evaluation presented, post season, by the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra's Artistic Director/Conductor and Quartet Project Co-Director to the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra Board of Directors.","On July 28 the Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra presented a public concert featuring Duluth fiddler, singer/songwriter, and disability rights activist Gaelynn Lea Tressler as soloist.

Phase 1 evaluation: Using Google forms students will respond to the following sample questions: What did you learn during this unit? Is there something that confuses you? Which experiment did you like best? Phase 2 sample evaluation questions: Which instrument did you enjoy making the most? Why? Which song did you learn to play most successfully? Did you enjoy sharing your instruments with the other students in the building? Explain. Which was the most challenging instrument to make? To play? Why?

A financial software system that helps us manage growing costs in a responsible way will also help us maintain the low dues and ticket prices, thereby helping to overcome barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities for both participants and audience members. Producing a video that shares our group in a larger circle than is presently known will give us the chance to really expand and build upon what we already do. That video may also introduce some people, people who don't sing or don't perform, to the world of choral singing. We will implement a survey system, analyzing the number of participants and the likelihood that they will return to sing in subsequent seasons, and analyzing the number of concert attendees, assuming that as long as the attendance does not decline that we are presenting programs that people want to see, enjoy, and will attend again in the future. We'll have to be very diligent to determine if any growth we see in participants or audience can be attributed to the video itself. This analysis would include both the surveys and personal interviews. Finally, implementing the financial software for the group will instantly improve how we track expenses and income. When the financial data is accurate and can be easily maintained by volunteer staff, then we will be able to continue to provide an affordable experience for all.","The new software provides access by multiple, password protected parties, automatically downloads and categorizes expenses and income, and provides a host of reports – all of which will insure that we have an excellent treasury record as we move forward.",,40,"Other, local or private",880,,"John D.

The needs of the children are diverse and evaluations internally and with each facility are essential to the program's success.

Their input is essential and the opportunity to comment on program activities will take place during separate evaluations with the executive director/program director.","Our program provided over 80 costumes and dance shoes, 180 Art Takeout projects, and worked w/ 730 young participants.

Three goals are: 1) Challenge the students' intellect and their assumptions by engaging with difficult material 2) Expand worldview 3) Cultivate both compassion and confidence through collaboration across multiple boundaries. Students will also interact with and learn from visiting guest speakers and presenters from the Minneapolis theater scene who will both address the participants about the craft of acting and share exercises around acting, voice, and movement techniques through a workshop format. The students will see a professional Shakespeare production and enjoy a Q and A session with the actors. Finally, by hiring two professional Shakespearean teaching artists, Minnesota Shakes is able to provide the best training to the students and ensure growth and guidance. Success is defined by (1) Did the students enjoy themselves and feel proud of what they learned and shared? (2) Were they challenged theatrically and intellectually? (Most students will not seek a career in theater; however, the Shakespearean knowledge and confidence of stage acting will serve them throughout their lives.) (3) Did they grow through collaboration and benefit from the diversity and friendship of the other students? Since we also welcome a wide range of theatrical experience into the program, success for each student can be very different. As long as we encourage the type of success listed above, each student will have an opportunity to be challenged and express in a safe, non­-judgmental environment.

The second goal we stay within our project budget expenses. Additionally this year we will ask parents to complete an anonymous online survey with five basic questions to help improve our program. One question asked parents is to rate their satisfaction 1 to 5 (1 = extremely dissatisfied; 5= extremely satisfied with Summer Youth Theater as a program. We are also hoping to receive some practical suggestions to help improve the program.

For the fourth grade, social studies standards will be addressed and students will use communication, creativity, and problem solving to create physical representations of state birds from the states that students are learning about. The residency will be considered successful if the following criteria are met: 1. Students are able to use and incorporate polymer clay, armatures, color mixing and millefiore/caning techniques to make a 3-dimensional form. 2. Students are able to successfully create unique 3-dimensional representations of predator and prey animals and state birds. 3. Students are able to talk about their use of elements and principals of art to represent the unique qualities of their animals or birds. We will also know that we have achieved our goals by documenting the end products from each residency with photographs. The sculptures that each child creates will demonstrate pride and show that they participated in the artistic processes of learning new information and skills, planning, decision making, production, and evaluation of their artwork. To further evaluate the process, we will distribute a survey to instructors to evaluate the success of the residency in teaching the state objectives and creating excitement for learning. Community performances and art shows will also provide feedback by participation from parents, showing excitement for the arts and their child's experience. Surveys will specifically address the following statements. Teachers: 1. Interest in the arts. 2. Excitement for learning core classroom objectives. 3. Reinforcement and enhanced comprehension of both art and core content area learning. 4. Achievement of above state objectives. 5. Overall quality of the residency. Parents: 1. Interest and excitement for the arts. 2. Involvement in residency and community event. 3. General excitement for going to school during residency. 4. Student understanding of the basic objectives outlined above. 5. Overall quality of the residency.","One measurable outcome was the huge increase in students that have now had exposure to another actual working artist from our state. Our students now also have a basic understanding of an art media that they were unaware of before the residency, and the core group students each have a colorful and creative sculpture that they made themselves to be proud of. When asked to write down their thoughts about the residency, 100 percent of student responses were very positive. Community people attending the art shows were greatly impressed with the student work and very excited that our students are given the opportunity, through Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, to work with Layl McDill and other artists like her during these artist in the school residencies.",,153,"Other, local or private",5153,,"Scott Conn, Richard Adams, Jon Olson, Val Halvorson, Cory Thorsland, Kim Mitchell.",,"Appleton-Milan Elementary School","K-12 Education","Arts in the Schools",,"Millefiore Animal Sculpture Residency with Layl McDill",2014-09-02,2015-05-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kipp,Stender,"Appleton-Milan Elementary School","349 S Edquist St",Appleton,MN,56208,"(320) 289-1114 ",jfulton@lqpv.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Southwest Minnesota Arts Council ",,"Swift, Chippewa, Big Stone, Lac qui Parle",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-schools-28,"Mary Kay Frisvold: musician, member Prairie Arts Chorale; Tricia Mikle: retired art educator, visual artist, board member Nobles County Art Center; Suzanne Napgezek: visual artist; Helen Pedersen: musician, member Prairie Arts Chorale, retired educator; Roberta Trooien: writer, musician, founding member Buffalo Ridge Chorale, retired educator; Sydney Massee: visual artist, theatre, Lac qui Parle Valley School Districts board; Kate Aydin: retired educator, arts advocate, Lincoln County Pioneer Museum board.","John White: writer, photographer, retired journalist; Jane Link: visual artist , Milan Village Arts School founding member, Milan Community Education, Greater Milan Initiative; Marilee Strom: musician, former art teacher, business owner; Kathy Fransen: musician, theatre, Rhythm of the River coordinator; Janet Olney: visual artist, Willmar Area Arts Council coordinator; Joyce Meyer: photographer, retired art teacher, Canby Arts Council Advisory Board; Kate Aydin: retired educator, arts advocate, Lincoln County Pioneer Museum board; Paula Nemes: musician, librarian, former coordinator of the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council, Vice President of Marshall Area Stage Company; Tom Wirt: artist, owner Clay Coyote Gallery, founding member and president, Hutchinson Center for the Arts, past member Hutchinson Public Arts Commission; Susan Marco: writer, High School English and creative writing teacher; Kelly Muldoon: graphic artist, board member Prairie Music Association, Prairie Oasis Players; Ellen Copperud: retired language arts teacher, theatre director; Dan Wahl: visual artist, musician, theater, adjunct English instructor at Southwest Minnesota State University; Dan Connolly: musician, music educator, board Renville Friends of the Arts; Cindy Reverts: visual artist, Rock County Fine Arts Association treasure, Council for Arts in Humanities in Rock County board; Sydney Massee; visual artist, theatre, Lac qui Parle Valley School Districts board.",,No 26327,"Arts in the Schools",2014,2500,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","To increase the quantity and types of arts learning opportunities for youth.Music Video: The music video will be assessed based on documented and recorded choreography, grading rubrics, and a final project grade.

Improvise and/or compose a tune to play on the dulcimer. 4. Demonstrate understanding of the cultural and historical context of the Appalachian (mountain) dulcimer, including songs. 5. Identify parts of the dulcimer. 6. Students will understand how math and science are involved in the functioning of stringed instruments. 7. Students will understand ways to change pitch, volume and timbre on a stringed instrument. 8. Students will measure accurately. 9. Use and convert fractions with accuracy.

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

Our outreach efforts were held at the community center and involved signing up participants and obtaining permission slips from parents and guardians. By holding the signup sessions after school we tried to make The Art Bus accessible to the entire youth population at Mount Airy. We used poster boards with pictures of the bus and specially designed signup sheets.

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

We were especially happy with the total, and accurate, participation of the kids in the ""Identify Who Has the Melody?"" game, where they would stand when ""their team member"" had the ball (melody). We repeated that activity with a different piece after the first presentation. Other things we changed were the order - one piece was harder for the children to comprehend, so we put it further along and added a story about it so that that could better visualize ""Alligator Escalator"" (by John Adams). Challenges? Playing outside Lake Hiawatha Center in gale force winds; their designated room was too full of gear on the day we arrived. Concentration was not good in a couple cases due to the 100 degree heat of the afternoon. When we repeat this, we also will write up some basic expectations about listening to music for the counselors to convey prior to our arrival: we found some counselors prepared the children for the experience much better than others, and the children were especially receptive. Also when we repeat this experience, we will have different musicians talk with the children, not just one focal person, so as to more fully engage them with each instrument. Sunshine Concerts did reach our intended community, kids aged 6 - 12 and their parents, plus community members. Our intention was to reach kids, people of less economic means, and according to the musicians' and staff reports, we reached a significantly higher proportion of racially diverse people than in our concert season. Staging these concerts in the Rec Centers meant that not only were there day care kids in the concerts, but in two instances, many people voting nearby heard music and stopped in to enjoy the music as well. General public attendees found out thru our web-site, the Park and Recreation Board web-site, posters in the centers and in coffee shops nearby, thru Facebook, ours and theirs, and - this was especially helpful - e-letters sent out by the individual centers. Handicap accessibility to the centers allowed at least one child with multiple disabilities and oxygen to attend; he couldn't speak, but took the violinist's hand and kissed her afterwards. Because of the geographical spread of the centers, we played for all races and ethnicities served by the city parks. Feedback from centers included: Nokomis: ""one of the highlights of the summer. Our group has a hard time settling down and I was impressed by their engagement…and interaction with the musicians. The overall experience was fantastic."" Armatage: ""We'd love to have them back!""

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

We wanted to include all age groups and different levels of ability to dance the complicated Balkan dances. We also envisaged some who would not want or could not dance but would enjoy watching the others. We succeeded in attracting all these categories, but we would like to have more teenagers and more people from Roseville. The reason that we could not attract more participants from them was that we were spread too thin and could not afford people to visit the local schools, and even the announcement in the Roseville Lutheran Church newsletter was not published because of change of editor and loss of connection. We could have reached out to more dance communities in the neighboring states, as we discovered existed and were willing to travel, in the process of organizing and execution of the project. We still had a wide range of diverse participants. In the classes we saw teenagers dancing together with octogenarians. For the concerts and food came whole families, from the babies to the grandparents, and we had at least six languages spoken during the project. Thanks to the grant we kept our prices at a minimum, and advertised volunteering opportunities for those who would like to trade some of their time for free classes and concerts. The venues were handicap accessible. We have successfully attracted diverse participants and audience but we would like to include more categories and plan to work harder to attract them mainly in the schools and the local higher educational institutions. 200 audience members attended two concerts where 70 dancers and musicians performed on stage.

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

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

Results will be gathered via survey given to all program participant families.","In our survey, feedback was unanimous that all children gained knowledge in theater arts as a result of our theater educational program. This is a great success to our program. Every child should grow and the parents are seeing that result. In order for our program to feel successful, every child should experience personal growth within the range of skills we teach. Our goal is that every child feels a part of the whole production. Each child learns that every role within a production is important. We feel these goals were achieved. For example, there were a couple young boys (3rd graders) that were assigned the role of trumpeter. At first, they didn't feel it was a role. By production time, the trumpeters had 4 scenes and multiple blocking that needed to be used. This was in addition to the roles in the chorus. The boys came up to me, the choreographer, and said, ""This trumpeter role is really turning out to be a big deal."" This is one of many examples. As always, this is a strength in that we can do this for everyone in the cast. It is a challenge to find and deliver all these opportunities. Another challenge we faced was ensuring that the younger group, our Rising Stars, also felt a part of the whole production. Their show runs prior to the main show and they can feel isolated. They come and go at different times from the ""big"" kids. We did do some joint learning sessions, but think that next year we will incorporate more of those opportunities. Our Junior Director program worked better than the prior year. This year we assigned the Junior Directors to shadow different production personnel. Most Junior Directors had a primary assignment and a secondary assignment. That allowed for them to learn multiple facets of the show in depth. It also helped to cover absences. At show time we put the Junior Directors in teams of 2. They were each assigned an area to work the shows in those teams. We had a Stage Left a Stage Right and an Audience Stage team. The helpers worked well to facilitate all the children and their props. We feel that this was very successful and will expand upon it next year. We worked hard to advertise our program throughout the community. We utilized print and social media. We used an ASL interpreter. We had a free preview night. Our preview night was attended, but we hope to have more attend in future years. We were able to accommodate some children with special sensory needs. We had some senior community members attend. A group that wanted to attend from the local assisted living facility was unable to attend due to last minute transportation challenges. Overall, our attendance numbers were similar to prior years. This was the first year we sold tickets, but our attendance didn't change. We kept ticket prices low in order to make it accessible and that strategy seemed successful. Even with those successes, we are working to include more groups in our preview night experience. We have already arranged for someone to head a committee to work on this - specifically targeting the special needs community. In addition, we are increasing our network of assisted living homes and branching further outside of Forest Lake. As always, all children who register for our program are able to participate and are accommodated. Scholarships are offered to those in need. Our scholarship need rate has stayed similar over the years. This year it dropped a little, but we have never denied any scholarship requests.",,22070,"Other, local or private",32070,,"Kari Bullion, Sharon Hanifl-Lee, Stacey Owens, Stacy Jones, Cyndi Carroll, Melissa Gilbert Bent, Lindsay Schipper, Melissa Niederkorn",0.00,"Children's Performing Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for ChildrenÆs Performing Arts, a 22 week theater intensive program for youth in grades K through 6th.

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

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

The residency was free and all students in that grade participated, including students with special needs. The community celebrations were free as well, and were attended by all students in the schools as well as any family and friends in the broader community who wished to attend. In the planning meetings, I asked the teachers to identify any students with disabilities or other special needs. Then for each, we determined what could be done to make sure that student could participate successfully. For students with the most severe disabilities, they had an assistant with them at all times to help them, which helped a lot. This approach was successful, in that all students participated to the best of their abilities. The actual number of participants was approximately 596 students, which was slightly less than what was projected (615). There is no way to determine the actual number of participants in the community celebrations, but I estimate about 842 PK-8 students and 458 adults (across 5 schools). This is close to what was projected. At Adams and Riverview, they did a separate celebration for each class, to which parents and one or two other classrooms were invited. All-school assemblies were held at Linwood and Wellstone. At Linwood, the celebrations were really packed with parents, with standing room only.

Capitol Hill invited the entire first grade, the middle school Theater class, and parents. 596 K-8 students gained new understanding and skill in flamenco, created work that was artistically inspiring to them, and presented it to their communities (1,438 students, parents, and others). 98% of students indicated they had a positive arts experience as defined by a sense of enjoyment, accomplishment, and success. 86% said they would like to learn other new dances and cultures in the future.",,3040,"Other, local or private",13040,,"Kate Cooper, Erin Govrik, Nancy Johnson, Christine Kozachok, Steve Morse",0.00,"Deborah Elias Danza Espanola","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for flamenco dance residencies with approximately 615 students from five St Paul schools.

This included creating a logo, mapping out a website, talking to potential venues about space, researching national and local acts, sketching out potential workshops, interviewing for an assistant festival manager, etc. We also continued to work on fundraising. In the fall of 2016, I took a break from planning INK to go on tour. Unfortunately, a number of things went wrong, including the tour venues not paying me. With tour expenses to pay and no income from it, I had to focus on things other than INK. To further complicate matters, the original fundraising plan was to use a $20,000 Knight Foundation grant that we got and $20,000 in matching dollars to run the festival. This grant from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council made up $10,000 of the match. We also received $3,000 from the Lowertown Fund and small contributions from individuals.

They will experience and have hands-on active learning in the arts. 100 adults and family members will view the artwork by the youth in showcases presented at each school. This Arts Learning project will be evaluated before and after residencies with reflective conversations and written evaluations from artists, teachers and participants to assess learning. Evaluations will identify 1) what students learned through arts learning residencies; 2) what value the residencies have for teachers, artists, and students; 3) impact on student access to quality arts learning experiences.","This project successfully served the intended community outlined in our proposal. The schools included in this project are attended by youth who qualify for free and reduced lunch at an average rate of 85% and almost half are enrolled in English Language Learning programs. These residencies with professional artists were designed to accommodate English language learners by offering a multi-modal approach to literacy by using less verbal art forms of puppetry, performance, and bookmaking to reinforce lessons in creative writing, language, and poetry. The feedback gathered from “talk-alouds” during program evaluation affirmed that students and teachers alike benefited from the engaging style of learning made possible by East Side Arts Council artists in residence. Phalen Lake Hmong Studies Elementary, Hope Community Academy Hmong Magnet School, Academia Cesar Chavez, and Highwood Hills Academy are vibrantly diverse schools and the artists hired for this program reflected that diversity. Marie Olofsdotter’s experience as an immigrant to the United States is one that is shared by many students at both Phalen Lake and Hope Community Academy, which are attended in great numbers by students who come from predominantly Hmong and Karen immigrant and refugee families. The diverse, mostly Latinx youth at Cesar Chavez were able to see Latinx experiences reflected back at them through a performance of Teatro del Pueblo’s The Adventures of Juan. Malia Burkhart, an artist who is multi-racial and draws from that experience to help youth explore complicated concepts around identity in arts educational settings, was requested specifically for a residency by the staff at Highwood Hills, which is attended by mostly East African youth. Access is at the core of every East Side Arts Council program. For this reason, each school selected for this project is, like all East Side Arts Council program sites, ADA compliant. Classes were free for youth to attend and all artists worked with school staff to adjust as necessary to meet the specific needs of each classroom. It was particularly helpful that artists were able to meet with teachers and each site before their residencies in order to gain the necessary information about the students they would be teaching so they were better equipped to prepare. Artists and teachers checked in throughout the residency to ensure all access needs were being adequately met. According to extensive program evaluation and feedback, this project was very successful and we would not change anything about the way it was delivered if we are given the opportunity to offer it again. East Side Arts Council is grateful to Metropolitan Regional Arts Council for funding this important and well-needed program. Qualitative: 100% of teachers indicated they would like this program to be offered next year. 100% of teachers indicated their students have increased their interest in literacy, writing, and storytelling as a result of this project. Quantitative: 1,000 youth benefited from this project, which is even more youth than originally estimated in our proposal due to the addition of a 4th program site.",,2700,"Other, local or private",12700,,"Kitty Anderson, Carline Bengtsson, Philip Blackburn, Florence Cobb, Bob Klicker, Mem Lloyd, Marilyn Meyer, Kerry Stone, Marlyn Trevino",0.00,"East Side Arts Council","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding to bring visual artist and writer Marie Olofsdotter, puppetry artist Malia Burkhart, and theater artist Alberto Justiniano and a performance by Teatro del Pueblo to elementary students in three East Side St Paul schools during the 2016-2017 school",2016-06-10,2017-05-19,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sarah,Fehr,"East Side Arts Council","977 Payne Ave","St Paul",MN,55130-3901,"(651) 774-5422 ",sarahfehr@eastsideartscouncil.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-663,"Carla Steen: Artistic, audience development; Carol Veldman Rudie: Education, Community Education, artistic; Merilee Klemp: Artistic, education, youth programming; Carol Barnett: Education, artistic; Tommy Sar: Disabilities specialist, community development, education; Craig Seacotte: Education; Malik Watkins: Artistic.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35884,"Arts Learning",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","We expect 30-40 students to attend workshops, 15-20 students from each site.

We will also ask students to write a brief artist statement about both themselves as artists and the art pieces they have created; these artist statements will be created as a guide book to the artwork created during the workshops.","INTENDED COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY DIVERSITY: With this project, we successfully reached our intended communities: the students who attend East Side Neighborhood Services’ Out-of-School-Time programs at Menlo and Heritage. At Menlo, 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and 85% of students are people of color. Heritage serves youth ages 12-20 who are primarily of East African/Somali heritage. Our youth come from the southeast and northeast Minneapolis, and most of the families we serve are below or at 100 -200% of the poverty line. Many of our students come from very large families and are typically first and second generation Americans. For many of the youth at Heritage, finding ways to communicate the complexity of the multiple lives they live on a daily basis - daughter/son, translator, student, religious scholar, and American Muslim teenager - is very difficult. Through this project, students at Menlo were able to connect more deeply with the Northeast-based Six Families collective, and students at Heritage were able to connect more deeply with Somali photography Mohamud Mumin. In addition, students at Menlo and Heritage begin connecting together and learning about each other’s communities. Students also had the ability to present their work at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Gallery and the work was left up for one week following the opening, which allowed students to show their work to people who might not otherwise experience it Parents and sibling of students, teachers from the schools, and Youth Department staff from East Side all attended the final event along with artist from the community. At our final showing approximately 100 people showed up to see the work; this group was a mix of ages, ethnicities, and genders. Since our students and artists come from diverse backgrounds, this project was designed and executed by people from diverse communities. Our final performance brought two groups of alternative high school students together, during a transitional time in their lives to tell their stories using art forms that allow them to communicate how they feel, what they see in the world, and how it sounds to them. Friends, family members, teachers, youth workers, and siblings invited to the final performance gained insight into their unique viewpoint, and the world that they navigate daily. ACCESSIBILITY. East Side Neighborhood Services’ Out-Of-School-Time programming is accessible by design. We provided transportation for youth via bus passes and vans whenever necessary. A healthy snack was served every day. Any student at Menlo or Heritage who was signed up for afterschool and interested in attending was able to attend. No additional access needs existed within our group, though we were prepared to hire translators if needed. Thirty-four students from Menlo and Heritage attended at least one arts workshop with 90% creating at least one photography or sound project that they felt comfortable presenting. Additionally, 90% demonstrated an increased understanding of concepts relative to composition in photography and sound.",,2500,"Other, local or private",12500,,"Michael J Burns, Terry Butorac, Dan Christian, Steve Dunphy, Hamdy El Sawaf, Robert Foster, Michael Giefer, Douglas W Helm, Curt Holewa, Harvey Johnson, Judy Larson, Andrew Martin, Michelle Mercer, Michael Miller, Robert Miller, Nikki Neubauer, Susan O'Reilly, Robert Rand, Donette Rico, Gloria Sheehan, Dennis Spalla, John Thompson, Kathy Waite, Tina Walman",0.00,"East Side Neighborhood Services","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for workshops exploring the theme of composition through sound and photography over 12 weeks during spring of 2016 for youth at East Side Neighborhood ServicesÆ Menlo VIBE and Heritage VIBE Out-of-School Time Programs.",2016-01-27,2016-07-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Nancarrow,"East Side Neighborhood Services","1700 2nd St NE",Minneapolis,MN,55413,"(612) 781-6011 ",pnancarrow@esns.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-664,"Masami Kawazato: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Sam Stahlmann: Artistic, youth programming, organizational development; Jessica Peterson: General management; Melinda Ludwiczak: Community Education, education, general administration; Christian Novak: Fundraising, audience development; Crystal Brinkman: Youth programming, artistic; Kate Lawson: General management; Harrison Rivers: Artistic.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35887,"Arts Learning",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","Run program of weekly Music for Life sessions to seniors as part of Ebenezer's Life Long Learning Program.

We truly achieved our artistic goals by mounting our production of 46 plays from the anthology 365 Days/365 Plays by Suzan-Lori Parks, at Penumbra Theatre. We ultimately had five directors (Rick Shiomi, Martha Johnson, Harry waters Jr., Stephanie Lein Walseth and La Trujillo) and ten cast members and seven designers (Dan Keyser, Karin Olson, Patricia Brown, Trevor Bowen, Malick Ceesay, Quinci Bachman and Michelle Barnes) work together to produce a seamless two act main stage production that received very positive responses from the media, peers and audiences. We received extensive coverage including reviews in the Star Tribune, City Pages and several major bloggers (Jill Schafer of Cherry and Spoon, John Olive in HowWasTheShow and Matthew Everett of Single White Fringe Geek). These quotes sum up the media response: ""I’ll just get this out of the way up front. Go. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this production. It will renew your faith in the power and purpose of theater. It is a delight."" Matthew Everett and ""In fact, this show, this cast, this theater with their mission of diversity, representation, and justice, is exactly what we need in this post-Hamilton world. A world in which all of us are represented in the stories we tell."" Jill Schafer. Audience responses on our post show surveys consistently reflected how challenging, thought provoking and engaging our production was. A survey via Survey Monkey of cast members showed scores of 4.9 out of 5 about diversity in the production, 4.5 out of 5 for artistic success and 4.1 out of 5 for positive experience showed how successful the production was from their perspective. In speaking with several peers, we were told that our production had a really positive ""buzz"" in the theater community because of controversies about other productions in the community. The whole process worked generally as designed but not without challenges. There were casting changes and various discussions among participating artists about differing interpretations of some of the 46 plays. The primary strength of the production was the experience, talent and willingness to work together of the directors, cast, designers and crew. The primary artistic challenge was the complications of presenting 46 different plays in one production. The technical challenges alone were enormous but ultimately overcome. There was no artistic challenge or obstacle that we weren't able to overcome. We would probably reduce the number of plays by about six. It would make the production a little less complicated and make each act a little shorter (to make each act about 50 min rather than 56 min). We would not have one person (Quinci Bachman) end up doing three jobs on the production (general manager for the company, stage manager and co-sound designer). She ended up as our stage manager because the person we originally hired to do that job had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts. We reached our goal of engaging our intended communities. We were able to bring in audience members from a wide range of community based organizations such as Neighborhood House (youth and English Language Learners members), The Wilder Center for Communities (youth group), Center for Hmong Arts and Talent (Hmong youth leaders), New Native Theater members, East Side Library, Equity Alliance Minnesota, Japanese American Citizens League and VSA Minnesota. For our production, 122 (of approximately 500 attendees) completed surveys, and of this subgroup, 46% were Anglo or European Americans and 54% were non-Anglo/European: 22% various ethnicities of Asian American, 9% African American, 5% Native American, and 18% Latino/Black Latino, Mixed Race, or Other. Ages ranged from 52% in their 40s or younger, to 48% in their 50s – 80s. Income levels ranged from 15% under $20K annually, to 32% $20 – $49K, to 29% $50K - $99K, to 26% over $100K. And finally, a part of the success was the response of audience through the post show surveys and discussions. Here are some examples of the type of comments on the surveys: “I like Radical Inclusion…It will keep working on me. “Absolutely fantastic. I got lost in it.” “This was a really entertaining and thought provoking play!” “Absurdist—helped me see new ways of viewing plays, different set of expectations,” and “So many powerful pieces and keeps me thinking! I can’t even finish my thoughts before the next play! Great production!” In terms of artists we were able to cast a wide range of actors: Of the ten actors, four were African American, two were Asian American, two were Euro American, one was Latino and one was Native American. There was an age range from the mid-sixties to mid-twenties and there were five women and five men. The production team had eight African Americans, two Asian Americans, two Latino, one with mixed Native American and Euro American heritage and nine Euro Americans. Our general manager/stage manager/co-sound designer is of the disability community as well. And in our production team the balance of men to women was nine men and thirteen women. We were also able to reach the media effectively with reviews or articles in both major media (Star Tribune and City Pages) and the emerging Twin Cities Theater Bloggers world (John Olive of HowWasTheShow, Jill Schafer of Cherry and Spoon, Laura Van Zandt of One Girl Two Cities, Mathew Everett of Single White Fringe Geek, Becki Iverson of Compendium and Hailey Colwell of MN Playlist). And their response was very positive across the board. In terms of numbers fell considerably short of our projected goal.

Attendance will be evaluated via ticket sales. The project will be evaluated via post-show audience talk-back conversations and online artist and audience surveys.","The most significant outcome for Gadfly is the growth of our community. 56% of artists, both on stage and technical, had never participated in a Gadfly production. Most of those were not aware of the organization before joining this production. That sort of growth is vital to the quality of future productions. Over 30% of the audience was new to Gadfly. Those new patrons are how we can expand. Goal 1: engage at least 4 artists new to the Gadfly community. This goal was met. 7 of the 15 artists were new to the Gadfly community. This happened through specific outreach to local arts organizations serving youth artists, and through paid marketing of audition and technician calls. This targeted approach, investing both time and money in reaching out to communities we often don't engage with, was very effective. We would repeat this process to find new artists. Goal 2: bring in at least 30 patrons from the local geek community. This goal was met. Show postcards were placed at local geek centric businesses, including a yoga studio, dance classes, coffee shop, and gaming stores. We also connected with Twin Cities Geek, an online forum. Through that organization, we were able to get a review of the show from the perspective of their gaming and pop culture blogger. This review brought a surge of ticket sales in the second weekend, presumably from the local geek and gaming communities. Goal 3: collaborate with local gaming community for post-show discussions. This goal was not met. When we set this goal, we did not know how much work would be taken on by the board in taking running a rehearsal and performance venue. The additional workload did not leave enough time to organize facilitated talkbacks. However, board members reported hearing conversations happening after the show between audience members and artists that were similar to our talkback goals. Many audience members spoke about using role playing games as a way to work through real-life situations. The actors spoke on the things they had learned about being a queer teen in the 90's, when this play was set. Not having facilitated talkbacks is our biggest disappointment of this project. We have discovered that the talkbacks are a vital part of our artistic and community engagement process. Most of the time, our work is outside the traditional theatre box in some way. Giving the audience and artists a chance to come together and discuss what happened on stage helps both process the themes of our shows. Future projects will have at least one talkback scheduled during the run of the production. We were able to successfully reach our intended community of artists through carefully targeted marketing of audition calls. This resulted in a diverse group of artists- 64% were under age 18, 55% identify as a race or ethnicity other than white/non-Hispanic, and 55% identify as members of the queer community. The population of our audience was more than 25% white/non-Hispanic, which was higher than our original goals. However, it does fall in line with the demographic breakdown of Minneapolis, so we feel we are still on the right track with our demographics. Our outreach efforts did bring in a community that does not typically attend our productions, through specific work within the geek and gaming communities. We are pleased with this result. Our initial goal was to have 120 people attend this show. Over the two weekend run, 153 people attended the production. One of our biggest goals for accessibility is to keep productions financially accessible to members of the community. To that end, we had two pay-what-you-can shows, inviting the community at large to attend, regardless of what they could offer for a ticket price. Overall, 23% of our audience used a discounted ticket to attend the show. We continue to see these as very successful opportunities to open the door to the world of live theatre for individuals who do not have the financial means to attend other productions. Holding our shows at a location on the bus line, with bike rack outside, and with free parking nearby, all helped our patrons attend the show without additional transportation barriers.",,3252,"Other, local or private",9638,,"Cassandra Snow, Immanuel Elliot, Jessi Hiemer",0.00,"Gadfly Theatre Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to produce She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen, a dramatic comedy set in the world of fantasy role playing games.

We changed the actual population benefited to “individuals below the poverty line” because 86% of the students we worked with at the three schools qualified for free or reduced price lunch based on their income level. It is the goal of Heart of Dance to make Dancing Classrooms accessible to all students with accommodations for religious practices, language differences, and for students with physical and mental disabilities. All three schools we worked with were ADA-accessible, as well as the location of the Colors of the Rainbow Team Match. We were able to make adjustments for students that were unable to dance, making sure they were still included in the group somehow. For example, at Benjamin E. Mays World School there was an autistic boy that would not dance and had such high anxiety that being involved in the dance circle was detrimental. He became the class DJ and Teaching Artist Assistant, which gave him a sense of responsibility in the group. He was able to connect with his classmates in a way that felt comfortable to him, yet kept him involved in the program. 184 students from three Twin Cities elementary schools learned to dance through Dancing Classrooms. 86% of surveyed parents of participating students reported that they saw a positive change in the way their children felt about themselves as a result of the program.",,12395,"Other, local or private",22395,,"Dennis Yelkin, Nell Collier, Chris Kempainen, Dede Ouren, Jill Smith, Ha Toung, Greg Warner, Leslie Whitney, Joyce Thompson, John Sandgren, Patricia Harmon, Jessi Fett, Shane Haggerty",0.00,"Heart of Dance","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Learning",,"Funding for Dancing Classrooms, a program that provides ballroom dance lessons to fifth-graders at Four Seasons A+ Elementary School, Benjamin E Mays World School, and Friendship Academy of the Arts during the fall of 2016.",2016-08-15,2016-12-23,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ember,"Reichgott Junge","Heart of Dance","500 Grant St E Ste 1308",Minneapolis,MN,55404,"(612) 750-1262 ",heartofdancemn@outlook.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-learning-667,"Thomas Surprenant: Administration, artistic, youth programming; Yumi Inomata: Administration, volunteerism, education; Brandon Bagaason: Artistic, education, youth programming; Kate Sheldon: Artistic, education; Jerri Neddermeyer: Artistic, education, administration; Mary LaGarde: Administration; Julia Floberg: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35903,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Our artistic goals for this project are to integrate high quality, meaningful art making opportunities for people during a challenging phase of their lives.

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

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

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

The diversity of the South Minneapolis/Phillips Neighborhood was reflected by students, interns, and by the 250+ family members and friends attending the Showcase.

Inverted Arts was able to provide quality tools and training by a group of professional and diverse Artist Mentors and put them into the hands of the student participants so they could discover their own creative voices. Our outreach efforts did result in a celebration of community diversity. Student creative voices and stories reflected their own unique perspectives. Evaluation results show positive increases in student creative confidence and self-image. Empowered students in will impact their diverse community through their new-found confidence, creativity and expanded creative dreams.

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

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

We opened the workshop to younger children than our original ages 7+ plan to facilitate the participation of families with a wide range of siblings. The Tubman staff offered additional daycare for younger children who did not want to or were not able to participate. Z Puppets worked with Tubman staff to distribute and post flyers, connected with Free Arts (an arts organization who had been doing ongoing year-long residency) to ask their advice on how to best recruit participants. Both the staff and Free Arts said that the most effective method was to have the kids' themselves experience it and then spread the word. Both reported that they overheard our core group of youth speaking excitedly about Happy Places to others. The parents' concern for confidentiality was much lower than we anticipated and instead they readily granted permission to share the youth's work publicly even when it included images of their faces. Because confidentiality was not a barrier, the final reached a much wider audience than we had planned, via online and social media opportunities we had via the City of Maplewood. The participants responded positively to the multi-cultural artist team, as the families were all multiracial and multicultural. The balance of males and females on Z Puppets' artist team was also a positive in strengthening the connection of both young males and females to the project. 1. Participants explored new art forms (toy theaters, green screen photo and video, iPad editing) and completed multiple phases of the project from 2 and 3-D design to video and performance.

We will track numbers of participants and their staff and rely on on-going feedback from staff and active participation of arts learners to evaluate ongoing success of creating meaningful experiences. Teaching Artists’ reflection evaluates each residency session for participant mastery (integrated skill development and increased mastery in dance, improvisation and storytelling) and socialization, also focusing on highlighting dances and stories that can be developed into performance pieces for the Intergenerational Dance Hall Finale.

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

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

To create greater accessibility to, participation in, and awareness of sustainable art making and artistic exhibits with responsible, economic and creative reuse/repurpose of materials. To demonstrate art as an effective learning tool for learning and integrating beauty, science, culture, geography and history for all ages and backgrounds, especially in West Duluth. To have fun!

North Shore Music Association will measure and evaluate the outcomes of this project by assessing surveys we've handed out to workshop students, jamming participants, audience members, and instructors. We will also keep a keen ear to verbal feedback both during and after the weekend. We will listen to what participants wanted and got from their instructor, and what the instructor expected and got from his students, as we find these two forms of feedback equally valuable.","Our workshop participant surveys measured our short-term outcome. 17 resophonic guitar workshop students signed up to learn from Mike Witcher. This was a good turnout, and student feedback was positive and enthusiastic across the board. Verbal feedback from instructor Mike Witcher told us that he also really enjoyed the experience -- that he appreciated that this group of students came ready and eager to learn, were focused on his instruction (both group and individual), and worked well together as a group.

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

Community Involvement Programs will also assess changes in interpersonal interactions, communication skills, and other social skills for the participants of the programs utilizing the pre- and post-program surveys.","26 individuals participated in the program (2 unable to complete). 77% of participants indicated they “very rarely” participated in arts activities prior to the program, and 35% indicated having no access to arts in the community outside of this opportunity. Post-program surveys indicated 100% of participants demonstrated gains in their interpersonal and social skills as a result of the program. Participants in The Art of Social Skills were all successfully provided with high quality experiences in theater, music, dance, visual arts, and poetry by accomplished professional artists, achieving our first artistic goal. More than 80% of participants indicated they weren’t engaged in any form of arts activities at program initiation; of the five who indicated that they currently participated in arts activities, only three indicated exposure to the arts more than monthly. None of the participants were engaged in this type of high quality, intensive artistic experience, however. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the participants reported they “very rarely” participated in arts activities of any type at program initiation. The Art of Social Skills successfully met our second artistic goal by providing a safe and creative venue to practice appropriate communication, such as eye contact, body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions, and to “rehearse” a variety of social interactions. Three of the ten domains measured by pre- and post-program evaluations where most improvement was reported included effective communication, demeanor and attitude, and cooperativeness. One individual who had “a lot of trouble with communication and engaging in conversations” at program initiation demonstrated gains in six out of ten domains measured after program completion, including self-awareness, communication, demeanor and attitude, working with others, professionalism, and acceptance of feedback. It is unlikely he would have be open to engaging with others, let alone gaining skills from the experience, without the safe environment provided by the program. Achievement of our final artistic goal was demonstrated by a comparison between pre- and post-program evaluations, which indicated that 100% of the individuals who participated in the program for the entire period had gained improvements in social skills that will positively impact their interpersonal interactions, such as being successful in volunteer settings and in the workplace, and engaging more effectively in their broader communities. Some things that worked well included: Individuals who had been withdrawn, and even “dependent” at program initiation had opportunities to express themselves artistically in a supportive environment, resulting in a greater willingness to risk vulnerability and being more self-reliant through performance opportunities and creative choices. Individuals who struggled with impulse control gained greater insight into the importance of taking turns, watching and listening to others, and providing feedback in constructive ways and at socially acceptable times. Role play opportunities also provided experience with connecting the more abstract painting, dance and rhythm activities to the real world situations, by acting out and practicing solutions to challenges they face in social settings on a daily basis. Our project successfully reach the intended community with regard to program participants, support staff, and teaching artists. Because we were able to pull from a pool of diverse candidates who receive services from Community Involvement Programs, both groups had a rich diversity of participants. The programs were accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities including intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental illness, emotional/behavioral challenges, physical disabilities, and sensory deficits. For example, the program space was fully accessible for individuals who used wheelchairs and sign language interpreters were provided for participants who were deaf/hard of hearing. In addition, Community Involvement Programs provided transportation support to ensure participants were able to get to each arts session. Participants came from a wide variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, and socioeconomic groups. The program also provided exposure to a unique arts experience for 10 staff employed by Community Involvement Programs, who provided support and oversight to the participants involved in the program while participating alongside them. The small size of each group (no more than 15 people with disabilities plus several support staff), allowed the teaching artists to address the diversity of experiences and abilities that were present. The programs were designed for groups with a range of abilities and the teaching artists had experience addressing the differing needs related to certain types of disabilities, and created an environment inclusive of all individuals. One way to potentially enhance the richness of experience for future programs such as this would be to open up the classes to community members who were interested in an intensive arts program, to provide increased exposure to those in the greater community for the participants, as well as offering an opportunity for community members to have a rich and engaging experience with people who experience disability. The biggest challenge with this would likely be managing larger group sizes and the diversity of potential responses, while still ensuring that those who were primarily designated as program participants still received the intended benefits of our artistic goals.",,5000,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Lisa Baron, Sonja Bigalk, Gewn Carlson, Gay Gonnerman, Kyle Holtz, John Klinck, Jesse Mason, Michael Mason, John Ottman, Lori Sedlezky, John Watson, Doug Wise",0.00,"Community Involvement Programs","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to collaborate with Upstream Arts on its Art of Working program, using performing arts practices to develop social and communication skills for individuals who have struggled to be contributing members of their communities due to challenges with s",2015-10-12,2016-06-03,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jolene,"Thibedeau Boyd","Community Involvement Programs","2300 Kennedy St NE",Minneapolis,MN,55413,"(612) 353-4595 ",jolenet@cipmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-618,"Denise Prosek: Artistic, administration; Laura Sorensen: Artistic, administration, organizational; Mathew Janczewski: Artistic, organizational development, administration; Adriana Rimpel: Artistic, administration; Chris Garza: Artistic, administration, audience development; Natalie Madgy: Administration, education, artistic; Caitlin Marlotte: Administration, fundraising, artistic; Jane Heer: Artistic, administration; Elysia Michaelsen: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Jeff Prauer (651) 645-0402 ",1 32553,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We hope to have an audience of between 700-900 patrons from all cultural, ethnic, economic, gender, artistic, and age backgrounds.

Qualitatively, we will talk with both patrons and the cast/creative team to get their feedback about how the process/show has affected them; what benefits they have received, insights they have gained, and other thoughts and feelings about the production.","1,182 patrons attended And So It Goes, surpassing our goal of 800, seeing the work of 17 artists. 52% of audience members were seeing a D and S show for the first time, so we are reaching new audiences. The top two reasons that audiences attended, the cast and creative team (31%) and because they are fans of intimate theater (23%), indicates they will support future projects like And So It Goes. And So It Goes by George F. Walker was the most successful production in Dark and Stormy’s history financially, and one of its most adventurous and successful artistically. We had the advantage of rehearsing in the performance space, which was set up in a “clock” formation – a variation of a theater in the round, with the audience spread around the space in a full circle that was generally only two rows deep (a very intimate seating arrangement). The playing space was centered by a large concrete pillar, which slightly obstructed the view of each audience member and actor from each other at times, (intentionally). This unique style of staging was new to the entire creative team, the actors, and the audience, and it proved to be an exceptionally successful artistic choice, and one we may use again. Because some of the action was placed amongst the audience, the “fourth wall” was often broken, creating a truly intimate and immediate experience that had a profound effect on the audience, according to our surveys. This experience provided a multi-dimensional challenge for our creative team and even our most veteran actors, who had to adjust to a large obstruction in the center of the playing space (they eventually found it to be a grounding force), and to the audience being close enough to touch. In addition, our assistant stage managers (usually kept from view back stage) remained on stage as a full part of the production, amongst the audience and actors. It was the first time any of the highly experienced cast had performed George F. Walker’s complicated and nuanced work. Sally Wingert, Sara Marsh, Robert Dorfman, and James Craven are all at the top of their field, well-known and well-loved by Twin Cities audiences and critics alike. They had excellent chemistry, and director Benjamin McGovern helmed a collaborative, open, engaging rehearsal room. The artists had the skills and ability necessary to successfully take on the delicate mix of humor, absurdism, and tragedy in this material, which, while disturbing and challenging, brought the actors and creative team closer together. We achieved all our goals with And So It Goes: Walker’s complex characters, structure and narrative were challenging even for our highly experienced artists (who have Broadway, national theater, and major feature film credits among them); our unconventional staging; it was the first time any of our artists, crew, or designers had worked on a George F. Walker play; it was the national premiere of this production; the playwright was thrilled with our production and hopes that we produce more of his work; and it can be best summed up by a statement from Broadway veteran Robert Dorfman on closing night, “We changed people with this play. We changed people’s lives. This makes me excited to do another play. This is why I do this.” The rest of the cast and creative team felt the same way. All in all, And So It Goes was a massive artistic success. Dark and Stormy was seeking to serve three distinct groups with And So It Goes: audience members, area artists, and participating artists. We successfully reached these groups with record attendance. And So It Goes is the second most highly attended production in our history, limited only by house size and length of run. And So It Goes played to an astonishing 123% capacity (a record), showcasing the work of 17 participating artists. Our surveys and feedback on social media show that we reached theatergoers. We offered a free preview performance, well attended by theater artists and the community. Our $5 Wednesday night performance, geared specifically toward area artists, sold out. In addition to seeing many artists after each performance, we received a great deal of feedback from artists on social media. Our outreach efforts resulted in some community diversity. Audience surveys show that, as we expected, our audience demographic is largely Caucasian, has an income over $100,000 per year, is middle-aged, and evenly split between male and female (with only a small number identifying as transgender, though over half identify as LGBTQ allies). However, as we have previously seen, we had a large response on social media from individuals under the age of 35. “Go see Dark and Stormy’s latest show ‘And So It Goes,’ tomorrow or the next day. I CANNOT get over how brilliant it is. Wow. Go see it. Really. Wow.” “Go see Dark and Stormy’s show, it’s honestly amazing, and I don’t think I have ever recommended a show on here.” “You are incredible and I loved watching you and supporting your work tonight!!” “Fantastic performance! I would say it’s a must see production :)” We received many incredibly moving survey responses, messages, and emails from audience members, such as this: “My wife and I lost our 23 year old daughter…she had struggled for many years with bi polar disorder and clinical depression…You and your company did an amazing job capturing the horrors of dealing with mental illness and untimely death. As one of the lines in the play stated parents never quite recover from the loss of a child. Yet – with help – we do find ways to move forward. Let me simply say thank you.” Our outreach efforts met our goals in making our project open and accessible to all who might wish to participate; we offered discounted tickets, used free spaces to publicize (like social media, leaving postcards at strategic locations, word of mouth, etc.), and our accessibility and low prices compared to larger theaters were highlighted by the press. In addition, excellent reviews from critics and a large feature on artistic director Sara Marsh in the Star Tribune dramatically increased visibility. We also worked with our partner, Artspace, to offer a discount to our fellow tenants. We will continue to build partnerships will fellow organizations to be even more inclusive and accessible.""",,30761,"Other, local or private",40761,,"Julie Bruns, Wilson Eugster, Lynn-Ellen St Martin, Jill A Anderson, Amy Bettwy, Kevin Cannon, Sara Marsh",0.00,"Dark and Stormy Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the national premiere of George F Walker's play, AND SO IT GOES, to be presented as part of their fourth season.

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

","721 paid and 785 total people attended performances producing gross ticket revenue of $15,552. This was a 27% increase in paid attendance over 2015, and a 56.6% increase in ticket revenue; Audience members offered 20 written comments on Facebook and 43 comments on written surveys (84% of self-selected respondents) attesting to their favorable experience and engagement. As proposed, Ananya Dance Theatre created and presented two performances of ""Horidraa: Golden Healing"" at The O'Shaughnessy at Saint Catherine University, St Paul, September 16-17, 2016. The full-length work focused on the role of women as healers and sustainers of communities. Artistic Director Ananya Chatterjea choreographed using contemporary Indian American dance. Her collaborating partners included guest artist Shá Cage; behavioral artist Marcus Young; composer/instrumentalist Greg Schutte; composer Andrea Reynolds aka Queen Drea; vocalists Mankwe Ndosi, Pooja Goswami Pavan, Michelle Kinney, and Tenzin Ngawang; costume designer Annie Cady; scenic designer Alison Hiltner; lighting designer Kevin A. Jones; and media designer Darren Johnson. Dancers included Leila Awadallah, Ananya Chatterjea, Renée Copeland, Kealoha Ferreira, Jay Galtney, Prakshi Malik, Lela Pierce, Hui Niu Wilcox, Alessandra Lebea Williams, Magnolia Yang Sao Yia, and apprentices Holo Lue Choy, Sophia Hill, and Julia Gay. Emma Marlar served as production manager, assisted by Nakita Vang as stage manager and rehearsal assistant. Story-sharing conversations on the nature of healing included the insights of Dr. Madhuri Shors, Dr. Roli Dwivedi, Dr. Bharati Acharya, Nasreen Mohamed, Stephanie Watts, Nimo Farh, Nekessa Opoti, and Lula Saleh. An Audience Empowerment Workshop, conducted for the general public, August 22, 2016, was attended by 40 people at the Frye Theater at The O'Shaughnessy, while 65 students and members of youth communities of color attended an invited preview performance, September 15, 2016. Our philosophy of #occupydance informed our creation of an interactive audience experience that brought people into the world of ""Horidraa."" The experience included performers moving among audience members in the lobby pre-performance, and the opportunity to touch and be touched by turmeric paste, with its external medicinal value and temporary skin coloring post-performance. We anticipated serving a range of individuals – artists, communities of color, women and girls, social justice activists – who are part of our audiences, ensemble, and decision-makers. Our vision of audiences for this project comprised a cross-section of local communities that included members of local immigrant and youth communities. We anticipated that at least 25% of the audience would be members of Asian communities, Black/African American communities, and White/not Hispanic, and that youth 19-24 and adults 25-64 would comprise at least a quarter of the audience. We reached, if not exceeded, the intended breadth of community participation, but not the anticipated depth of particular demographics. We reached artists, communities of color, women and girls, and social justice activists. Of 785 total audience members at two O'Shaughnessy performances, 51 (6.5%) returned written surveys. Based on these self-selected responses, 56.9% were first time attendees of Ananya Dance Theatre; 74.5% were women; 37.3% were LGBTQ and 60.8% straight; and 7.8% had a disability. Minneapolis residents comprised 43.1% of the audience, with St Paul residents represented by 27.4%. Attendees hailed also from at least six other states and Laos, Liberia, and India. Age breakdown: (a) 16-20 = 5.9%; (b) 21-30 = 25.5%; (c) 31-49 = 23.5%; and (d) 50-79 = 39.2%. Household income breakdown: (a) Less than $10,000 = 11.8%; (b) $10,000-43,999 = 33.3%; (c) $44,000-76,999 = 17.6%; (d) $77,000-99,000 = 15.7%; (e) $100,000+ = 13.7%. Self-identifications: (a) African American = 13.7%; (b) African Immigrant = 5.9%; (c) Asian American = 11.8%; (d) Caucasian = 43.2%; (e) European American = 11.8%; (f) Latin = 1%; (g) Native American = 5.9%. Staff of The O'Shaughnessy told us that, based on their visual observation, Ananya Dance Theatre's audience was among the most diverse of the many presentations on its stage. Our successful fundraising for this project provided the opportunity to allocate a significant expenditure of ~$7,200 to advertising. We were able to supplement online marketing by The O'Shaughnessy with Minnesota Public Radio and MinnPost.com, and to have a paid online presence on Twitter and Facebook, and print presence in the Star Tribune, North News, and Highland Villager. In the process, we added several hundred new followers to our Facebook page, bringing the total to more than 3,000, the second-highest online following of any dance organization in Minnesota (as of this report date).",,80000,"Other, local or private ",90000,,"Gina Kundan, David Mura, Robert Lynn, Gary Peterson, Prachee Mukherjee, Elizabeth Altheimer, Danielle Mkali, Anitra Cottledge, Saymoukda Vongsay, Divya Karan, Janis Lane-Ewart",0.00,"Ananya Dance Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support ",,"Funding to create and present, Horidraa: Golden Healing, a new collaborative dance work celebrating the healing practices by women in global societies of color to sustain communities.

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

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

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

Adults with developmental disabilities report they have gained new skills in using art materials and tools to create art, as well as an increased appreciation of nature. Evaluation plan includes a survey of artists, program participants and support staff, as well as informal observation of artists working with participants. In addition, a portfolio of work created over the duration of the program is created for each participant and reviewed by staff and administration from each organization involved.","The outcome for the organizations participating in the project is continued work with ArtStart-we believe because of the successful engagement of artists, particularly, to bring out each participants artist within. We have been able to deepen our partnerships and add new partners, an unexpected serendipity, and continue our work with this amazing community of emerging artists. The project achieved the following goals as assessed by the evaluation using informal observation and surveys of key stakeholders: 1.) to increase opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to communicate feelings and ideas through art making experiences led by an artist and naturalist; 2.) to celebrate and share each participant's unique artistic expression; and, 3.) to deepen partnerships between ArtStart and other community organizations. Certainly the artist-naturalist team was one of the strengths of the project as participants explored nature before participating in the art making portion of the project. A challenging aspect of the project was the reaction of some participants to being in nature. While all chose this experience, when faced with a more open environment, some participants were fearful. Others found it hard to engage all of their senses particularly smell and touch to explore natural objects. The art making sessions at each group's respective home base were most successful, as participants seemed more comfortable in that space. Artists helped each participant keep a portfolio of their art work which ranged from drawings, paintings, prints, and weavings, as well as a mixed media piece inspired by nature exploration. To celebrate their successful completion of the project, the Lifeworks and Kaposia participants displayed their art work in ArtStart's Art Gallery throughout the duration of the project and also at The Show art gallery as part of the April 2016 Art Crawl event. A reception was held at ArtStart for participants and families. TSE participants hosted a reception for the art mural created as part of the project at their site. The art exhibits were the highlight of the project as the artists and naturalist were present and could talk directly to family members and other staff of the organizations involved. Probably, the only difference which we would make to the project is to keep in better communication prior to the grant decision-making process with one of the organizations named in the project (Highland Friendship) who had received a large state grant and could not fit this project into their schedule. We were able to reach 60 adults with developmental disabilities thanks to the wonderful support staff from each organization who helped us identify and select a group of 8-10 participants. The invitation for participants to be part of this project was open to all at a site, but staff from each site had the final word in the composition of the group. Criteria for selection ranged from interest in art to ability to adapt to a new setting. The range of diversity in this project included adults who were mobile to 2 adults who needed wheel chair access. Staff from each organization were present at the workshops to assist the artist-naturalist team with special needs a participant might have. Adults had a range of learning disabilities, but all loved to make art. Another interesting point of diversity that we did not count on and that was quite a contrast, was the way each organization involved in the project saw their work with adults with developmental disabilities. Participants from Lifeworks were involved in a daycare program as they were not yet ready for placement in a community-based work program; TSE participants had jobs within the community and a common work schedule dictated who could participate in the project. Participants from Kaposia had many more independent living skills. Transportation was not an issue for them, as they all knew how to take a bus to The Show located in Lowertown, St Paul, while Lifeworks and TSE participants were brought by van. There was little cultural diversity in the Lifeworks and Kaposia group (1%), but nearly 50% of participants from TSE were culturally diverse.",,7850,"Other, local or private",17850,,"Barb Fleig, Janice Hamilton, Sabrina Sutliff-Gross, Elizabeth Wright, Deb Holtz, Linda Stuckey, David Swenson",0.00,ArtStart,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for ArtLife, an eight-week program for adults with developmental disabilities from Lifeworks, TSE, and Highland Friendship Club combining art making with direct, guided exploration of nature by a naturalist-artist team using handicapped accessible",2015-09-28,2016-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Carol,Sirrine,ArtStart,"1459 St Clair Ave","St Paul",MN,55105-2338,"(651) 698-2787 ",carol@artstart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-625,"Bethany Hansen: Administration, youth programming, artistic; Mary Smith: Organizational development, volunteerism, education; Daniel Peltzman: Administration, organizational development; Bill Venne: Fundraising; Sarah Jordet: Organizational development, administration, artistic; Kate Roarty: Audience development, administration, volunteerism; Craig Harris: Organizational development, administration, artistic; Mohamed Samatar: Artistic, community service, fundraising; Rosemary Nevils: Artistic, Community Education, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 32562,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We expect to attract an audience that includes 20% new patrons through increased publicity efforts.

We tracked audience numbers and used sign-in sheets and staff interactions with visitors to identify those who were new to the park. While the threat of bad weather reduced attendance at two performances overall audience numbers were good, engagement was high and our outcomes were met. We successfully achieved the artistic goals for our 2016 Summer Performance Series. On June 12 the Minnesota Sinfonia presented a well-received concert of familiar and less well known pieces of classical music. This performance was dedicated to the memory of the Art Park’s founder. On June 26 director Jim Cunningham and a cast of 3 actors presented The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). This parody of all 37 Shakespeare’s plays brought a bit of Fringe Festival sensibility to the park’s tradition of “Shakespeare in the Park.” July 10 Aunt Beverly and Voice of Culture performed a combination of traditional and contemporary African stories and drum and dance from West Africa and Afro-Hip-Hop. The performers were Beverly Cottman and young students of Voice of Culture led by Kenna Cottman. On July 24 the High-48’s presented a concert of classical bluegrass and original songs with a wide range of influences beyond Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs. In our grant application this slot was intended to be filled by the group Buckets and Tap Shoes but we were unable to keep in contact with them through the planning process and made this substitution. The connection between the two – they are both high energy performers whose work features driving rhythms. On August 7 Mu Daiko, an ensemble of Mu Performing Arts, filled the Theater in the Woods with the sounds of Japanese Taiko Drumming. On August 21, Mixed Precipitation presented “Donald Giovanni in Cornlandia: A Picnic Operetta.” This was a 1980’s pop retelling of the 1787 Mozart opera Don Gionvanni the style of classical Italian comedic opera meets ‘80s hair bands and modern day politics. This performance in particular brought many new people to the park who knew of Mixed Precipitation’s work but not about the park. Our community of Dakota County and Eagan is made up primarily of families with young and school-age children, and a growing number of older adults. According to our surveys, this is the audience who attended the Summer Performance Series this season; roughly 60% of the audience was from Dakota County and the other 40% was from the greater Twin Cities area. Each performance in the series attracted slightly different audiences: the Minnesota Sinfonia trended older and more patrons had physical limitations; the High 48s, Mu Daiko and Voice of Culture attracted more families, the Shakespeare and Mixed Precipitation audiences were mostly adults. As a whole the audience continued to be more ethnically diverse. Since these performances are presented without tickets we cannot use sales to track the number of new and returning audience members. Instead we use sign-in/mailing list sheets and audiences surveys. From this information we know that at least 1/3 of the audience was new to the park and many commented that they had been meaning to come and finally did.",,17495,"Other, local or private",27495,,"Jina Penn-Tracy, Wayne Potratz, Kirk Muhlenbruck, Rhea Benz, Cheryl Caponi, Renee Ervasti, Juli Johnson",0.00,"Caponi Art Park AKA Caponi Art Park and Learning Center","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 2016 Summer Performance Series featuring six performing groups in the Park’s Theater in the Woods amphitheater.

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

We achieved our goal of sharing a wide variety of chamber music, from early instruments and music of Lyra Baroque to the Classical Contemporary music of Zeitgeist. The concerts went very well, were generally very well received, and the artists were pleased with the venue and the artistic outcomes. We had expected larger audiences, and had hoped in particular to attract larger numbers from teenagers through age 50. More work will have to be done in terms of contacts with area high school music programs. For future seasons we have made several adjustments – 1. Modified ticket prices so student prices are age 18 and under. (This season student prices applied to ages 12 and under.) 2. Be more realistically conservative in our audience projections in estimating ticket revenue as a match to the grant. We had hoped for 80-90 per concert, and actually ranged from 60-70.

Additionally, responses from three senior center leaders indicated that 100% of participants to the senior matinee commented that they enjoyed their outing and would do it again of given a chance. We met most of our goals for this production, though we fell short is a few areas. We held eight performances for the public during our run from February 26 to March 6, 2016, and also held a special weekday matinee luncheon performance geared toward senior citizens. Goal achievement was as follows: We created an artistically excellent, attended by nearly 2200 patrons; we had hoped for 3000. We provided a quality, participatory experience for all involved, especially families. Our senior matinee lunch and a show was attended by 140 patrons, and was a truly memorable experience. We had hoped to get up to 300 for this performance. Both our participant and audience survey results that reflected a high level of satisfaction. We were unable to arrange an ASL-interpreted performance for this production. In the end, our artistic and participation goals were solidly met. Survey comments from audiences including words like ""fantastic costumes and scenery"" and ""glorious musical performances."" Participant survey comments included ""this is the most fun I have had in years!"" Since this was our organizations 20th anniversary production, director and organization co-founder Paula Atkins reached out to many participants from over the years and encouraged them to participate, truly resulting in an ""anniversary,"" celebratory experience. As older-generation musicals, like ""My Fair Lady"" age, so too do the audiences. We were successful bringing those people to this production. Where we fell short, perhaps, is getting more student attendees. 85% of tickets were sold to adults, which was not unexpected, given the fact that the majority of the cast were adults. However, earlier, more thorough marketing to schools, or more discounting of student tickets may have resulted in better youth attendance. We knew going in that, due to the nature of this show (older-style musical, fewer children in cast), that we might have difficulty drawing younger audiences. This came to be true, but overall, we served our targeted demographic well with this production. That is, families from within our community who we serve with quality, affordable, LOCAL, entertainment. In particular, for participants, we were able to draw both old and new amateur participants from within the community for on and off stage roles in the production. Of specific note was the special senior matinee, where busing was provided and a special meal and show were held. In this instance, we were able to bring quality, affordable live musical theater to people who may not otherwise be able to attend due to lack of transportation or funds. One area we continue to struggle is in gaining traction with hearing disabled persons. In the case of this show, we were unable to coordinate a specific date that worked to have our ASL interpreters come to provide their services, so no ASL show was performed. Past efforts have been hit and miss in attendance, with the bulk attending being ASL students/teachers, and often families of deaf persons. We continue to work with local groups like VSA, and schools for the deaf, to develop joint partnerships to try to encourage deaf students and families to attend our shows.",,46600,"Other, local or private",55038,,"Daniel Bergner, Jennifer Boothroyd, William Coldwell, Anna Olson, Courtney Pernat, Lawrence Schroeder, Kevin Spencer, Katie Spille, Mark Taintor, Robert Thomas",0.00,"Chaska Valley Family Theatre","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for nine performances of My Fair Lady at Chanhassen High School's Performing Arts Center in February and March 2016.",2015-10-26,2016-03-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Katie,Spille,"Chaska Valley Family Theatre","PO Box 641",Chaska,MN,55317,"(952) 250-7206 ",cvftmail@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Carver,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-630,"Bethany Whitehead: Fundraising, general management, organizational development; Alex Legeros: General management, artistic, finance; Amanda Dlouhy: Artistic, general management, organizational development; Janice Johnson: Audience development, organizational development, education; Nate Lovdahl: Fundraising, education, organizational development; Debra Stone: Artistic, education, community development; Becky Stibbe: Fundraising, audience development, general management; Patricia Vaillancourt: General management, audience development, computer systems; Teresa Mock: Artistic, audience development, organizational development.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 32567,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","4000 people will attend our three separate concert events. Audience surveys will show 65% of attendees come from north Minneapolis. Attendees will be surveyed at the final concert and counted at all three concerts.","Over 4000 attendees came to our Live on the Drive events throughout the summer of 2016 and were exposed to 3 different artist groups. Over 1/4 of attendees were attending for the first time this summer and every attendee we engaged with, left an overwhelming positive response to our concert series. Our artistic goals for the 2016 Live on the Drive concert series covered three areas, the artistic performances, and the audience/community and community awareness. Our first goal was to bring a “diversity of artistic talents together… to highlight their talents and to provide public arts programming where there is little.” Through our three concerts we featured three diverse artistic performers. Our performers were Rio Nido, #MPLS and Ashley Dubose. We were able to feature an Artist Spotlight during an intermission in August due to a total of four rain cancellations throughout the summer. Maria Isa was the featured local poet, in August. Our second goal was to draw the Northside community together and to get them to engage with each other. We saw evidence of this through strong attendance, much like the last couple years. In 2014, we saw an average of 1300 attendees per concert and in 2015, we saw an average of about 1400 attendees at each of the three concerts. This year we had about the same attendance as last year. We were confident that we were going to have an even larger turnout than the previous years since we increased our marketing however, we were struck with a lot of rain which caused us to have to move performances to the assigned rain dates. We are proud that our event is remaining established as a premiere community gathering. After asking many attendees if this was their first Live on the Drive Concert event, one out of every four said it was their first time and that they heard about it previous years from a neighbor or friend. The majority of the attendees lived in 55412 and 55411 North Minneapolis zip codes, and many came from Robbinsdale, whose borders rests on the adjacent side of Victory Memorial Drive. We feel that we were successful in reaching an audience that reflected the diversity of residents in north Minneapolis, but did not actually reach our ambitious numbers for audience turn out. As noted above, over 75% of our audience came from the direct and adjacent zip codes and we also attracted residents from throughout the Twin Cities. The crowd at each concert was notably diverse in racial make-up and age, however we had no measure for socio-economic diversity. We believe our engagement has consistently reached our board and diverse audience and was accomplished this year through our marketing: yard signs, posters, word of mouth, mailings social media and newspaper ads. In the future I think we will make greater efforts at more targeted outreach to cultural groups. This year, two out of three performances featured artist groups of color. We felt very good about the access to all of our concert series. All concerts and planning meetings happened in ADA Accessible spaces. Our event is close to public transit and is completely free. We will be reaching out to local translators to further reach a larger audience through multi-lingual posters next year. We planned to implement that in 2016 however, it was one of those things that was unfortunately set on the back burner while searching for a new executive director.",,10000,"Other, local or private",20000,,"Bob Colbert, Kimberly Caprini, Stephanie Gasca, Jonathan Palmer, Jonathan Healy, Caroline Field, Peony Hildreth, Chaun Webster, Ray Mohr, Dwquita Nash, Ryan Williams-Virden",0.00,"Cleveland Neighborhood Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Live On the Drive, a free concert series held on Victory Memorial Drive in North Minneapolis featuring high caliber musicians and celebrating the diverse talents of the community.

The leads were excellent and well-cast. You felt like they had popped out of the Disney movie onto the Cross Community Players stage. The quality of the singing, acting, dancing, and music provided the community entertainment that was enjoyed by all. Providing quality theater for the community was a need that was met with this project! The cast was good size filled with parents and their children working side by side as actors, musicians and back stage assistants. The audience loved the show! We continue to get feedback that this was one of our best shows. Due to construction in the high schools in the district, it was necessary to produce this show in one of the middle schools in the district. This provided us with no orchestra pit which is something we rely on for our summer productions. Fortunately, this specific show was orchestrated for a smaller group of musicians thus it was possible to incorporate the musicians within the stage set-up. At first, this appeared to be an incredibly difficult situation, but the artistic team was quite creative in placing the pit within the scenery. This placement ended up providing strong support for the actors on stage and was not a distraction for the audience members. There was a theft of money out of the purses that were stored in the ladies dressing room during tech week. In the future, we will make sure to provide secure storage of valuables during the rehearsal and production process. The perpetrators were caught and over 60% of the cash was returned and no other valuables were taken from the purses. Having done these shows for many years. The community we served was fairly accurately described in the grant application. Listed below are the ways we met our goals for making our project open and accessible. 50 free tickets were distributed to the food shelf recipients. Several community organizations took advantage of our group rates. A wide variety of ages attended the show. Two matinees, which were designed for convenience for families and for seniors not wanting to drive at night. Family involvement could be found in all aspects of the production. One performance was provided with ASL interpreters and Audio Describer. Our ASL and AD patrons were provided 2 tickets at a 50% discount. We utilized the extensive VSA Minnesota publicity network. We included the Wheelchair, ASL, Audio Description and Large Print accessibility symbols in our publicity.

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

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

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

The nine choreographers will be challenged to create pieces that are site specific. They will also be challenged to work very closely with audiences and, at times, find ways to involve them. All the performers will be challenged to work in different ways, depending on the choreographer. All will be asked to participate in the development of the pieces, as well. They will be asked to dance, sing, play instruments, act, and engage with audience members. Audiences will be asked to open themselves up to a new artistic experience that asks them to travel with the performers to different locations and, as they wish, to participate at certain points. Artistic Director, Joe Chvala will take charge of evaluation, assessing process, community components, and the final product. Measures will include: Critical reviews, review of performance video, and audience response at performances and in feedback in the lobby and through e-mail and social media, Interviews with liaisons from each performance site, Interviews with participating artists throughout the project period and at the end, Box office and financial records. Chvala will invite trusted colleagues to specific rehearsals to get their feedback, as well as to performances and get their feedback. Chvala's own response during performances will provide a major indication of the work's artistic success.","Creation of a rich and unique work developed by 11 very diverse artists; Audience participation via dancing, singing, walking from place to place, taking part in some scenes, and expressing their own thoughts as part of the event; There were 18 performances reaching 1,559 people – even more than expected. Some people had to be turned away due to the capacity limits of some performance spaces Flying Foot Forum achieved its artistic goals for this grant. Retitled PASSING THROUGH PIG’S EYE, the production ran from 8/25/16 thru 9/11/16 in downtown St Paul. This exciting dance event: Showcased a series of vibrant percussive performances; Explored a wide range of percussive possibilities combining music, dance, text and visual elements; Performed at multiple sites in downtown St Paul; Expanded audiences for the Flying Foot Forum, developing new ways to engage them. 11 creative collaborators created a full evening of dance around a central theme. Audiences were treated to new experiences by traveling with the performers to different locations where they participated in a variety of ways: dancing, singing and thinking about questions posed by the performers. The production took place in various locations in St. Paul including the Hamm Building and Landmark Center – but went beyond that concept by inhabiting the whole area of downtown around Park Square Theatre, sometimes crossing paths with other productions, pedal pubs and Pokemon Go players. People stopped on the street to watch. Others asked for a flier. This excerpt encapsulates the event’s success: ""If you are a dance aficionado, the variety of this sampler platter will tickle your aesthetic taste buds. But ‘Passing Through Pig’s Eye' might be the ideal introduction for those who don’t consider themselves 'dance people.' It’s engaging and accessible; rangy in style and mood; energetic, educational and a whole lot of fun."" Dominic Papatola, Pioneer Press. Strengths/Challenges of Artistic Process: Working with 11 separate creators and collaborators was exciting and stretched everyone in new ways. Dancers who rarely speak or sing had to deliver lines, and led “tour groups” of audience members. Musicians played, but were also asked to sing and dance. Everyone used multiple skills, and in some cases developed skills they didn’t know they had! The creative and rehearsal process was also complex. While project lead, Joe Chvala, fully briefed each collaborator on the concept, everyone worked independently. When the completed pieces were reviewed, determining how they would fit together was tricky. Some dances were longer than others. Some evolved and didn’t easily fit the original concept. Accessibility, potential weather issues and how to safely move the audience thru the city also posed challenges. Developing the final program was like working on a moving, 3- dimensional puzzle. Regardless, it’s clear that these challenges also enriched the work, making it more unique than it might have been otherwise. What Might Be Done Differently “Next Time”: In the future, Chvala would likely become more involved in the creative process of each of the pieces so that they could thread together more easily. Or, each choreographer might be given carte blanche for a more traditional repertory concert where a piece lives on its own without having to fit the context of an entire evening. PASSING THROUGH PIG’S EYE was very successful at reaching its intended community. 16 artists were involved as collaborators and performers onstage, and another seven scenic and technical artists were involved in creating the aesthetics of the work. From an audience perspective, attendance exceeded our expectations. There were two “tracks” for the show (each named after a fabled gangster in St Paul’s history), enabling participants to experience very different versions of the production. Some patrons opted to return for a second night to experience the performances in the “other” track. The attendees were, perhaps, a bit more diverse that expected and younger that the typical dance and theatre-going audiences (many were in their 20s and 30s). There were also a large number of people who had never seen the Flying Foot Forum perform. This may have been the result of the excellent press received for the show. There were four exceptional reviews, as well as a preview cover story in the entertainment section of the Pioneer Press. Attendance was also enhanced because Park Square Theatre assisted with marketing and provided access to their extensive audience database. The program was well-designed to provide accessibility to everyone who wished to participate. All the buildings and the streets involved in the traveling portion of the performances were wheelchair accessible. Performers were assigned to direct people who might need them to elevators, and assisted people in getting from one place to the next. There were also seating areas designated in each location for patrons who used wheelchairs. One patron in wheelchair was a 101 year-old woman who had been a docent at the Landmark Center when she was younger. When asked if we got all the history right, she responded with a definitive “yes!” Chairs were provided in all locations for people who needed to sit. While there was a significant amount of time traveling from one venue to the next, rest stops were built-in to make sure that the walking was never unpleasant for each track of people made up of different ages and physical ability. Finally, two ASL interpreters were hired for the signed performances because there were two tracks in the show. There was (at least) one interpreter in each location at all times.",,73800,"Other, local or private",83800,,"Timothy Fuller, Joan Loshek, Joe Chvala",0.00,"Flying Foot Forum","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Dancing Through the Streets, a joyous community event for young and old alike that takes audiences through downtown St Paul on a journey filled with percussive dance, drumming, and music.

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

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

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

We plan to track attendance numbers and musician numbers. We also plan to send out a survey to our email base at the end of the season.","Our greatest outcome again this past season was our annual Winter Jazz Fest which featured five acts and drew over 100 attendees throughout the day. An event like this brings the entire local jazz scene together, exposes audiences to new groups and music, and serves to demonstrate the strength and diversity of our jazz community. Our fifth season of Jazz at Studio Z was again a success, especially with regards to our artistic goals. The space we've created for artists allows them to fulfill their artistic vision without any hindrance, one of the few venues in the Twin Cities that this is possible, and to do so in an intimate listening room format. We once again had new groups make their debut and had more established artists premiere new music. The level of consistent quality expected and delivered at Jazz at Studio Z is perhaps the best in the Twin Cities. We feel that the project served its intended community/audience well again this season. We had over 40 performers participate throughout the season, and nearly 400 audience members. The diversity in age, gender, and ethnicity of both our performers and our audiences was substantial. The effort to involve more female performers in jazz is ongoing due in part to the smaller percentage of players, but we are always trying to improve on that, and featured two female led groups this season. Our affordable ticket price makes the concerts accessible, while the workshops remain free to the public, and children 12 and under get in to the concerts free as well.

The addition of an executive director to our small staff will significantly expand our reach and our sources of support. Musical artistic goals were met, and audience response was very positive and enthusiastic at all three concerts. Ticket sales exceeded projections by about 20%, and we achieved a slight increase in 25-50 year-old demographic. We hope to continue that trend through increased use of social media and marketing. This year our venues include Ordway Music Theater, and we hope a downtown St Paul venue will significantly expand awareness of JazzMN Orchestra with a larger and broader audience. Most importantly, JazzMN has hired a new executive director, Steve Heckler, the founding director in 1999 of the Twin Cities Jazz Festival which this year attracted upwards of 80,000 jazz music fans to 28 different St Paul venues. As one of the Upper Midwest's premiere jazz impresarios and with extensive experience in the area of Development/Fund Raising and Sponsor Cultivation, Heckler will provide a boost to all of JazzMN's hopes for broadening its base of attendees and its bases of support. JazzMN has a very loyal following which skews toward an older demographic with a generational fondness for Big Band jazz. This is manifested in robust sales of season tickets and familiar faces at concerts. Through increased presence and marketing on social media we are optimistic about attracting a broader demographic in coming years, and this past season showed signs of expansion in the 25-50-year generations.

From post-show SurveyMonkey survey distributed to patrons who supplied an email address, we learned that roundly 72% of patrons were Jewish, and 89% would return to a future Humor Fest event. Our goals for this year's Jewish Humor Festival and results: Continue to focus on quality, not quantity: We presented 8 ticketed events and 2 workshops for the public. Present local and national talent who will represent and reflect the diversity of Jewish culture: Yes! We featured top-notch national and international talent, as well as some local comedians as well! Ensure there is something for everyone – all ages, Jewish and non-Jewish, GLBT, etc.: Most ticketed events were for adults 18+, but two were appropriate for teens. One event was geared towards the GLBT community, and we offered one workshop for children. Provide learning opportunities in addition to entertainment experiences: There were two workshops (Improv Comedy and Laughter Yoga), as well as Q and A opportunities with some of the artists following their events. Cultivate community partnerships with area organizations and engage eager volunteers: We partnered with the Saint Paul Jewish Community Center, the Israel Center of Minneapolis, the Twin Cities Jewish Book Series, and a handful of other organizations. We engaged 16 volunteers to help with grassroots publicity, event/reception set-up, and as ushers/box officers. Build and grow audiences by presenting Humor Fest events at both Jewish Community Centers: Two events took place at the Saint Paul Jewish Community Center, one event took place in downtown Minneapolis (our first rental!), and attendance was great. We did not surpass last year's attendance however. The 2016 Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festivals reached its intended community through rigorous outreach efforts and engaging community partnerships. As with previous Jewish Humor Festivals, we found that this year's audience was widely diverse. Lesbian comedian Jen Kober attracted a sold-out LGBTQ audience - most of whom were not Jewish. Opening night Mark Matsuof and closing night Rabbi Sim Glaser also nearly sold out.

Audience surveys also showed that at least 10% of respondents are under 40 years of age, and at least 30% are attending a Jewish Book Series event for the first time. We will design a program booklet survey asking audience members to volunteer demographic data (age, race, gender, income, connection to the Jewish community, etc.) and how they heard about the event. The survey will also specifically ask participants whether the event increased their awareness of Jewish identity or culture, and if so, in what way.","Over 50 people attended at least one event throughout this author series that had never previously participated in a Jewish arts program. Approximately 30% of attendees chose to purchase the author’s book after hearing them speak, indicating a desire to delve deeper into literature. Our proposal consisted of four artistic goals. We believe that all of these goals were met during the course of our project. Our first goal, to celebrate and explore Jewish identity and culture and highlight the rich diversity of the Jewish experience through a variety of engaging and unique narrative voices, was met by the wide range of topics discussed by our featured authors, as well as their unique backgrounds. Topics ranged from interfaith friendships and marriages to stay-at-home fathers, and from tensions between Israelis and Palestinians to rock n roll. The range of topics throughout the series also helped us to meet another goal, to attract and engage a broad audience by presenting notable artists likely to have wide recognition and appeal. Several audience members attended two, or even all three events, but many simply attended the singular event that they connected most deeply with on an individual basis. Although attendance numbers were not as high as we had hoped overall, we did succeed in attracting audience members from many walks of life. As books struggle to stay relevant in our ever more technology-driven world, we hoped to honor and celebrate literature and the written word through these events. We believe this goal was accomplished first by simply inviting these authors to come and speak to our community, and to share their stories and their art form with us. We also accomplished this by making copies of each author’s book available for sale at their event. Some audience members attended having already read the book, but many came simply because they were interested in the topic. After hearing from these authors, many in the latter group were excited to continue exploring the topic at hand by reading the author’s book. Our final goal, to build community and strengthen individual growth by stimulating dialogue and discussion was met through rich, engaging conversation between audience and authors. We successfully reached members of all three different audiences that we set out to target, including people who are already strongly identified with and active in the local Jewish community, people who have a connection to the local Jewish community but are not actively involved, and people who may have an interest in Jewish arts and culture or overlapping areas of interest. Each of the three events had audience members from each of these three categories, although interestingly, and somewhat unintentionally, each event seemed to attract more from a different category. Our first event, with author/journalist and illustrator Christopher Noxon, who addressed issues of interfaith marriage and stay-at-home fathers, attracted primarily members of our first targeted audience, those that already have strong ties to the local Jewish community. Those that have a more indirect connection to the local Jewish community, such as secular or unaffiliated Jews and non-Jewish friends and family members, were the primary audience for our second event with author and journalist Anthony David, who addressed tensions between Israelis and Palestinians through the story of a surprising friendship between two powerful women on each side of the conflict. Our third event, featuring musician Steve Katz, welcomed a large number of non-Jews with an overlapping interest in Katz’s music. By hosting all of our events in our own auditorium, we ensured a space that was open and accessible to all, with step-free entrances and wheelchair access.

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

Performing artists: Tabulate total and Minnesota-based performing artists as well as music and dance genres and sub-genres performed.","7,300 adults and children attended the sixth annual Midtown Global Music Festival that featured performances by 16 acts composed of 102 Minnesota artists. Audience surveys indicated that 70% of respondents would like to see the site host additional music festivals, concerts and cultural/community events. The Midtown Global Music Festival took place on Saturday, July 9th from 10:30 AM until 8:30 PM. We did achieve our artistic goals. The event indeed attracted a diverse audience. ETHNICITY: 54%-White,-19% African American-7% Latino-6%, East African-5% Mixed-4% Asian-4%, Other-4%. AGE: 0/18-6%, 18/30-27%, 31/45-20%, 45/60-27%, 60+-18%. RESIDENCE: Neighborhood-20%, Minneapolis-38%, Minneapolis Suburb-21%, St Paul-9%, St Paul Suburb-7%, Outlying/out state-5%. Performance artists represented a wide array of cultural stylings including dance, (Native American, Middle Eastern, Bollywood, salsa, belly, stepping, Somali), music (jazz, salsa, reggae, folk, Swedish, Ecuadorian) and display/culinary-Midtown Global Music Festival tenants and day table renters. We believe Midtown Global Music Festival 2016 was again another successful demonstration to the power of arts-based community development. There is something special going on, especially considering the events that had taken place the week prior to the event, to see people from all walks of life take part in a group salsa dance lesson or jiving to a top notch reggae band. What worked? The lineup! Our group received numerous comments on the quality of the performances. Particular thanks go to headliner The Wibesman, Q-band, J. Most's Command Steppers and Kalpulli Ketzalcoatlicue, all of whom put on spirited performances. What didn't work? To be honest and compared to last year's event (the site had no power until 3 PM), Midtown Global Music Festival 2016 went off without a hitch. The weather couldn't have been better--82%, sunny with a pleasant breeze. Strengths/Challenges-Again, the lineup was a strength. Instead of a second stage, we rented a quality dance floor...a suggestion from last year brought up to us by our dance artists. Our stage and sound vendors were again wonderful, professional and of quality. Do differently-Perhaps add another global artist in place of an US-based style, a minor consideration. Reach community-Yes and no. Yes, we did attract a diverse audience and our participants represented a wide array of art forms. However, we fell short (first time in six years) in meeting our attendance objectives. Actual vs. grant app forecast: Adult attendees: 6,500/8,500 (-31%), youth attendees: 800/1,000 (-25%), total: 7,300 (actual)/9,500 (forecasted). These outcomes were somewhat of a shock to us, primarily because the event attracted significantly more earned media than our prior five ('16: $73.8K, '11-'15 average: $28K, +163%). In addition, it was to be the highlight of the Midtown Global Market's 10th Anniversary. Our conclusion/theory: The racial unrest fueled in part by the Philando Castile shooting motivated most regional residents to stay near their homes. Adding fuel to this sentiment was the fact that social media channels were active in regards to potentially troublesome events that may take place. Supporting our theory were the number of discussions on race relations that took place during the event. For many, a colorful and festive celebration was not in alignment with the vibe being experienced by most in the 7-County Metro. Though a dip in the road, Midtown Global Music Festival attendance is still trending upward in the long run vs. its initial three years and relatively close to 2014's mark. Another bright spot...door counts indicated nearly 3,000 people attended the event after 4:30 PM. Adult artists benefiting: 100/75 (+33%) Of note: 10 children under the age of 18 also performed with their respective dance troupes. Diversity. As mentioned in the prior section, we do believe we reached a very diverse audience in terms of age, ethnicity and where people live. In terms of doing something differently, it would be worthwhile to encourage our performing artists to regularly post on their websites and social media they'll be performing at our event. Many did; however, there is room to improve. Accessibility: Midtown Global Music Festival planning meetings are open to anyone wishing to contribute. Cultural Program Manager Becky George is a member of numerous neighborhood boards and outreach programs and encourages her contacts to assist our efforts. Her networking efforts begin in early April. The Midtown Global Music Festival is 100% ADA compliant. We had a handicap accessible lavatory near the outside music grounds. We placed more pop-up tents near the stage area for shade.

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

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

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

","Seventy-two percent of respondents enjoyed the show to the extent that they would be likely to recommend the show to friends or colleagues. 80% of key collaborating artists said felt comfortable in making decisions and taking risks regarding their artistic piece. The project team decided their evaluation objectives were to demonstrate the impact of the Palabras Project in: 1. Building a diverse audience, 2. Determining how audience members identify with the performance, and 3. giving artists a respectful and safe place to take risks. Four evaluation questions guided the project. Below is a brief overview of the responses to both interviews of artists and surveys sent out to audience members. 1) Is the Palabras Project successfully building a more diverse audience? a. Yes. Comparison data from other performances and cities indicate that the Palabras project had a relatively more diverse audience relative to the Minnesota general population and theatre projects in other states. Because this was the first showing, the data should help serve as a baseline for future performances. 2) How are audience members identifying with the stories told by the palabras project? a. Strongly identify. The data supports that a significant number of audience members strongly identified with the Palabras Project stories. Seventy-two percent of respondents would be likely to recommend the show and one-third left comments indicating that they felt the show was unique, creative, powerful, and an innovative approach to Lorca’s Blood Wedding. 3) How are the artists involved experiencing the Palabras Project? Are they feeling like it’s a respectful and safe place to take risks? a. Artists felt respected. Almost every artist explicitly indicated that they felt comfortable making decisions and taking risks. Several indicated that in a future performance, additional preparation time and direction on how pieces would be woven together would be helpful. 4) How are community partners experiencing sharing the Palabras Project with their communities. a. The community partner felt that their community was very engaged in the show, though sometimes confused as to where to go next. We experienced a great challenge/opportunity with the huge collaboration across 5 artistic disciplines (Flamenco, Mask, Shadow puppetry, Installation art and indigenous flute, and hip hop). Different art forms require vastly different timelines/modes of creation. We learned a lot about how critical it is to build a common vocabulary in order to facilitate cross-disciplinary conversation. If/when we repeat a project of this scope, we will utilize new language to get all collaborators on the same page, and implement more regular check-in moments to ensure we continue to be on the same page. We identify our intended community as: artists, community partners (such as CLUES and Neighborhood House), and audience members. We anticipated that at least half of audience-members would come from communities of color, particularly from St Paul’s Latino communities. We expected a portion of our audiences to be representative of the Twin Cities’ average theater-going community, which is primarily upper middle class Caucasian women older than 55. Collaborating artists and actors were to be primarily of-color, with focus on providing opportunities to Latinos. We are proud of the artistic impact of our project. All in all, we employed 42 artists, most of whom had never set foot in Park Square previously, 33 of whom were of color. Four of our five primary artists were all Latino/Hispanic/Chicano identifying, and the fifth was Spanish. According to our demographic survey, sixty-nine percent of respondents identified as Caucasian, seventeen percent considered themselves Hispanic or Latino, and three percent identified themselves as Asian. Ten percent of responses fit their own category including identifications such as Italian, Eastern European, and Arab. However, we only received a 21% response rate to our survey, and we believe that we reached more audience members of color than the survey indicates. The data appears to support that the Palabras Project successfully built a diverse audience considering the general population demographics and comparison examples. While the percentage of attendees for the Palabras Project who identify as white, not Hispanic (69%) is larger than the percentage of individuals who live in Minneapolis or St Paul and identify as white, not Hispanic (60%), the gap in who attends a performance is lower than in other performances and cities. While only one community partner was available for a post-show interview, the feedback can be used as a starting point. The community partner was interviewed about their experience with the project. Key Takeaways: 1) The community partner invited mothers from her preschool group and a senior’s program. 2) Because going to a production at night was a challenge, we provided a bus to transport people to the show. This was incredibly helpful for the partner’s community. 3) From the partner’s perspective, the community felt very engaged by the show. According to the partner, community members were excited and felt that the music and the art was great. That said, there was some confusion and potentially a little too much walking for the seniors that attended. Attendees got lost throughout the project and did not fully understand that they had to continue moving. Although we had wheelchairs available, and designated seating for the mobile performance, there were still audience members who were confused, or didn't feel the experience was physically accessible. We will address this challenge in our next production through more careful communication with audience members.",,43000,"Other, local or private ",53000,,"Richard Cook, C Michael-Jon Pease, Richard Aguilar, Alberto Justiniano, Scott Mateo, Marcela Lorca, Shari Aronson, Chris Griffith",0.00,"Other Tiger Productions","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support ",,"Funding for the Palabras Project, a conceptual production of Lorca’s Blood Wedding featuring local Latino poets, musicians, dancers, and hip hop artists.

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

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

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

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

At least one new work of art will be created as a direct result of an artist participating in an Artist Salon. Audience participation will be measured by the number of tickets sold. The creation of new art work will be measured by its presentation during the Artist Salon and through dialogue with the artist(s) following the event.","Educate audiences: 95% of those surveyed expressed a new appreciation for art as a vehicle for exploration and understanding. Advocate for creating new art: 100% of the audience at the 4th Salon were moved by the new work and want to hear more of the composer’s music. Create new audiences: 80% of the attendees want to follow Salon artists in the future (e.g. attend performances, gallery openings). The Rimon Artist Salons in the 2015-16 season were artistically among the strongest Rimon has presented. They encompassed a broad spectrum of art forms and artists—from glass arts, mixed media sculpture, and photography to theater and music. The featured artists themselves spanned several generations—from emerging millennials to seasoned, well-known artists. This variety in the participants and the quality of the dialogue were among the chief strengths of the Artist Salons. Another notable strength was the outstanding commission for violin and piano which received its premiere at the fourth Salon. The piece of music was of exceptionally high quality, and its performance was riveting. It has already received a repeat performance outside of the Artist Salon which is an indicator of its appeal. An enduring outcome from the commission is a strong, new relationship with the composer Ofer Ben-Amots. Some of the unexpected challenges that presented themselves during the season related to changes in personnel. Two of the moderators (Salons 1 and 3—“Sculpting Light: The Art of Glass” and “From Selfie to Groupie”) changed jobs mid-year and thus were unavailable to participate in the Salons. They were replaced with very satisfactory substitutes. One of the artists (Salon 4—“Copyright or Birthright: The Music of Ofer Ben-Amots) was obliged to withdraw but was replaced with two outstanding musicians. Another challenge was uneven performance by some of the community partners which resulted in somewhat smaller audiences at those Salons than anticipated. Rimon’s staff has learned in this process that some community partners, no matter what their initial level of enthusiasm may be, are unreliable, and Rimon will be more circumspect about working with them in the future. Attendance at the Artist Salon series in 2015-16 was somewhat lower than projected (225 instead of 275), although age and cultural diversity goals were met. The first and last Salons were very well-attended, but the middle two attracted smaller audiences, although still within the desired audience size of 40-70 participants. In the case of the second Salon (“Backstage at the Adoption Play Project”), there were two obstacles—Super Bowl Sunday and a modest effort on the artists’ part to reach out to their own fan base. The audience that did attend was treated to an exceptional experience. The third Salon (“From Selfie to Groupie”) had been developed with the Russian-American community as a key partner and intended audience. Rimon was surprised when modest numbers from that community attended, possibly related to an unreliable community partner who promised more than she delivered. Again the event itself was quite strong, but attendance was lower than projected. Over all, Rimon’s leadership was happy to see an increasing number of younger adults attending the Artist Salons in addition to the usual cohort of adults over 40. There were a significant number of non-Jewish audience members which was a key outreach goal. This was accomplished by emphasizing the universal appeal of the ideas embedded in each Salon topic. Rimon continues to reach out to the disabilities community, but no one who might have used the advertised services of a sign language interpreter registered for a Salon.",,5580,"Other, local or private",15580,,"Robyn Awend, Judy Brier, Joel Carter, Sandra Felemovicius, Debra Fisher Goldstein, Michael Forstein, Judy Gaviser, Ann Ginsburgh Hofkin, Phil Goldman, Jonathan Gross, Janet Kampf, Darla Kashian, Maury Landsman, Andrea Lubov, Lynda Monick-Isenberg, Karen Nemer, Paula Pergament, Lisa Pogoff, Marley Richman, Jason Rose, Todd Sandler, Leighton Siegel, Rachel Stock Spilker, Peter Sussman, Katherine Tane",0.00,"Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the 2015 - 2016 Artist Salon Series, a four-event series engaging artists from different disciplines in dialogue with local audiences.

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

The 25th Annual Spring Art Crawl was a success for the Saint Paul Art Collective. We had the most artist participants and attendees of any of our Art Crawls. For the 2016 Spring Art Crawl we placed a lot of emphasis on our catalog which highlights the artists participating and how to get a hold of them after the crawl. Our catalog this year was a full color book that artists could purchase space in to showcase their work. These catalogs were a big hit and were “sold” on a donation basis with an ask of $3.00 this year brought in more donations for the books than other years. We even had people calling ahead of time to secure a catalog, something that we have never had in the past. Our direct challenges come from having dedicated building organizers, we have put plans in place to have more meetings and check points to ensure that the building organizers are informed and have all they need to help make the Art Craw a success. Our surveys informed us that many volunteers were unsure what to say to people when they came to get a catalog. In response to that feedback, the Saint Paul Art Collective will also be putting together a bit of a script to help volunteers convey that the catalogs are available with an at-will donation, and if someone cannot donate they should still be given a catalog.

Our intended audience did not vary from what we expected but we will be administering surveys to participants and to artists that will be including optional demographic information.

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

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

With an estimated 60% of attendees residing in a Zip Code where annual household entertainment expenditures are 75% or less the Seven County Metro average, the event provided an underserved population with a free arts programming. 86 performing and 60 display artists (Minnesota-based) participated in the project. ACHIEVE ARTISTIC GOALS: Diverse/quality jazz performances: Yes. Six performing groups presented six+ jazz genres (NOLA, big-band, smooth, traditional standards, instrumental-piano, vocal/soul. 60+ display artists took part in this year's Fest, many provided live demonstrations. Reach an underserved community. Our survey shows that approx. 60% of our attendees reside in Zip Codes where annual HH entertainment expenditures are 75% (or less) the Seven County Metro average. Engaging experience. As it has been for the past 15 years, JazzFest is a living, breathing and genuine testimony to the power of arts-based community development. It's no secret we, as a society, are experiencing tough times; especially in the area of race relations. Sites witnessed numerous times during the event include: a) Young African American men embracing Saint Paul Police Officers; b) Children of all ethnicities interacting in our Family Fun Zone; c) People of all walks (more on our specific audience demos coming up) of life engaging with each other during and between performing artists' sets; d) Inquisitive attendees asking questions during our display artists' demonstrations. A first time Fest attendee (Caucasian, 30 years old, suburbanite) commented as he left, ""This event is a true diamond. What a day."" Yes, JF16 did indeed build community. WHAT WORKED: Headliner and Grammy Award Winner Kirk Whalum's set which included him strolling through the crowd during the Whitney Houston classic, ""I Will Always Love You."" Mr. Whalum performed the song's sax solo in the original recording. Anthony Walker and Reverend Carl Walker's set. Reverend Carl Walker, founder of the Walker-West Music Academy (which is located on Selby Ave) performed with his highly acclaimed son/pianist Anthony. It was old home week! We had the highest number of visual display artists (60+, most live in the neighborhood. We are of the strong belief that the Fest should provide area artists the opportunity to display their creations without having to take out a second mortgage). WHAT DIDN'T: 2016 was the smoothest of all our 15 JazzFests. The weather was perfect. Sound/stage was top notch. DO DIFFERENTLY: Book a global jazz act. We had one lined up; however, they had to back out due to an unexpected commitment. REACH INTENDED COMMUNITY: Audience: Yes-12+K in attendance. From 5:30 on, grounds were packed. Audience Demos: Age: Under 18: 16% | 18-30: 30% | 31-45: 16% | 46-60: 28% | Over 60: 10%. Ethnicity: African American: 56% | Caucasian: 36% | Latino: 4% | Asian: 1% | Other: 3%.

Minnesota Artists (Performing and Display): Approx. 146 which was quite a bit higher than our '16 estimate and prior history. Our goal was 110. ESTIMATED VS. ACTUAL POPULATION BENEFITING: We were a bit short of our 15K attendance goal which was probably a bit optimistic, primarily due to '16 being our 15th anniversary. On the flipside, our audience was the most diverse we've seen. There was a definite increase in the number of millennials and young families in attendance, the outcome of an aggressive Facebook ad campaign and two large, 4-color ads in City Pages. OPEN/ACCESSIBLE: As we have in the past, there is plenty of area for our limited mobility guests to sit near the stage. In addition, the area behind the stage is reserved for handicap parking.

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

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

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

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

Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater also hopes to engage these audiences in post-performance discussions about the work presented and the creative process. On-site interviews and written evaluations will be offered for the veteran participants in the project. Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater will provide on-line evaluation surveys for the VA Staff. The principal evaluation tool for the performance portion of the project will be Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Talk Piece, to be recorded by Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater.","The most significant outcome of this project was the emotional impact it had on both the veterans and the artists of our company. As one veteran expressed to a staff member, “I was sad when I came in, but I feel better now.” And another commented, “That was spectacular!” This new project, Tours of Duty, was enormously successful both artistically and organizationally. The project was implemented as described in the grant proposal. After completing the Planning Process in September, Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater presented a series of Life Stories workshops for veterans at the VA Adult Day Health Care Center in Richfield. These workshops invited the veterans to share their stories and experiences of wartime and returning home. Their stories were then translated into movement to capture the emotional impact of the experience. The participants represented a broad spectrum of veterans from Iraq/Afghanistan to Viet Nam to Korea to WWII. Although these conflicts had very different historical contexts, the commonality and comradeship between the vets was extraordinarily evident. As many of the vets were present for a number of the workshops, we were able to build on the material we had developed with them previously. Eventually, we wrote a song combining images from their stories and created lyrics set to the melody of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. All of the veterans and staff learned the song and helped to create movement for it. The project concluded with the company creating a “theater” in the VA Day Center with the use of pipe and drape, lighting, and sound equipment. On the final two days of the project, the company presented performances for the vets, their family members, and staff. The performances represented selections from Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater repertory including Sentry, the company’s critically acclaimed work which illuminates the life of a soldier. Both performances concluded with Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Talk Piece, an audience/performer discussion. The overall response to the entire project was overwhelmingly positive, both from the veterans and the staff. For all of our company members, it was extremely powerful emotionally. These men, who had experienced and seen events we can only imagine, opened their hearts to us and could not have been more appreciative of our time with them and our interest in their stories. There is only one thing we would do differently, if schedule and funding allowed. That would be to extend the project over a longer period of time. It was very difficult to say “goodbye” on the last day and many of the veterans asked when we would be returning. As we had anticipated, the populations we reached through this project are underserved by the arts for a number of reasons. Many of the vets are dealing with a number of mental and physical disabilities including PTSD, memory loss, hearing loss, amputation, or dementia, among others. Further, many live alone and have little access to transportation, furthering their social isolation. And, sadly, many are living below the poverty line. We designed this project to be entirely accessible to all of the participants, and we were very successful. Many of the veterans are transported to Adult Day Health Care by Metro Mobility or family members, helping mitigate that barrier to participation. Because of the diversity of abilities, the workshops were conducted with all participants seated in chairs. Those who were able to stand were assisted by Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater company members to ensure their safety. We made use of microphones and sound equipment to address issues of hearing loss. Also, because we worked with many of the veterans over a number of workshops, we built a vocabulary of movement exercises which assisted those with memory loss. We also engaged the staff during these workshops, many of whom commented about how much they had learned about their clients as result of our project. Finally, as we had previously determined, access to the theater is very limited for all of the reasons mentioned above. Therefore we brought the theater to the veterans. We rented pipe and drape, lighting instruments, and sound equipment to create a theatrical experience in the Adult Day Center. The vets enjoyed watching the company set up and transform their space almost as much as seeing the performance. The company presented two performances on site which included selections from Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater repertory. One of the works, Sentry, was particularly significant for this population as it is a work that sheds light on the life of a soldier. Many of the audience members were brought to tears by the performance. We concluded both performances with our signature Talk Piece in which we engage the audience in a discussion about the work. The veterans, family members, and staff were enormously grateful for this project and our time spent with them. Over the course of Tours of Duty we engaged an average of 30 veterans and 6 staff in each of the series of workshops. The performances, which we presented on site, reached an additional audience of the veterans’ family members. We also offered the veterans and their families, as well as the VA staff, reduced-price tickets to Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Twin Cities performances in February at the Cowles Center, although we don’t believe there were any takers, due to the barriers discussed above.",,5000,"Other, local or private",15000,,"Ruth Balbach, Howard Bell, Michael Brooks, Judith Johnson, Jennifer Olson, Zoe Sealy, Carin Skowronsky, V Paul Virtucio",0.00,"Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for Tours of Duty, a program of Life Stories workshops and on-site performances presented at the VA Adult Day Health Care Program for veterans, their families, and VA staff.",2015-09-23,2016-01-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Stuart,Pimsler,"Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater","528 Hennepin Ave S Ste 707",Minneapolis,MN,55403,"(763) 521-7738 ",spdanth@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-669,"Denise Prosek: Artistic, administration; Laura Sorensen: Artistic, administration, organizational; Mathew Janczewski: Artistic, organizational development, administration; Adriana Rimpel: Artistic, administration; Chris Garza: Artistic, administration, audience development; Natalie Madgy: Administration, education, artistic; Caitlin Marlotte: Administration, fundraising, artistic; Jane Heer: Artistic, administration; Elysia Michaelsen: Artistic, education.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 32606,"Arts Organization Development",2016,3191,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","1.

The presentation of The Women of Cuidad Juarez showcased the realities of life in the southern border and brought to light the human rights abuse against women that has been going on and continues till this very day. It reflected the plight of young Mexican women that are being murdered and enslaved by criminal elements that see these women as a commodity to be exploited. We opted to go with the production of La Familia for our one-act series also brought about the historical challenges of “Chicanismo” as well as issues affecting our community today, like LGBTQ rights and homelessness in the Latino community. The Women of Cuidad Juarez was bilingual thus allowing Spanish speakers as well as non-Spanish speakers to experience the play. We also translated all the plays and provided open caption in English for the hearing impaired and the non-Spanish speakers. These plays also provided educational experience and the post-play discussion also provide unique and historical contexts to our audiences. The Marketing of The Women of Cuidad Juarez presented a few on foreseen challenges. Since this was a presentation, the lead artists needed to approve the marketing materials and this in turn slowed down our marketing efforts. Once we streamline the process, we were able to move much quicker. We will need to clarify the need for prompt marketing material feedback response from artists we present in the future. In addition, our timing for La Familia production coincided with a local festival that competed with us for the same audience, which affected our attendance. Even though we are at the mercy of the availability of venues, we need to do a better job on researching competing events. In the future we need to take that into account. In our non-scientific poll we calculated that more than 50% of our audiences were Latinos. We had larger than expected Latino attendance the first night for The Women of Cuidad Juarez. Several groups from Centro, a social service organization serving the Latino community, brought a very diverse group of women from a number of countries like Mexico and from Central and South America. We were surprised by the fact that a number of community members had heard of the show through community channels such as planning meetings for other events throughout the cities. During the weeks leading to each production, we were able to hone our marketing message to precise segments of the Latino community through a more tailor social media marketing approach. This allowed for a more personal approach. Our effort to become more accessible to Spanish speaking audiences for the most part was successful. We had some challenges at first with our marketing efforts with the presentation of The Women of Cuidad Juarez. Feedback from the artist took too long since they were touring at the time. We feel that once we were on track with our marketing materials, we were able to reach out to many Spanish-speaking audiences, but we were not able to achieve the attendance numbers we were expecting. We are hoping to connect with more language schools and classes in the future. The opportunity to work with a Latino pool of actors allows the theater company to continue its efforts to maintain and grow a strong pool of actors of color in the Twin Cities.",,10250,"Other, local or private",20250,,"Bridget Knisely, Bernice Arias, Ted Koshiol, Alberto Justiniano, Ralph Peralez, Lorys Sierralta, Christopher Heinze",0.00,"Teatro del Pueblo, Inc.

We will constantly evaluate with video and audio self-evaluation, and attendance data.","Over 1,000 people attended the concerts listed in this proposal. This resulted in well over our projected ticket sale income line from our two ticketed concert programs and shows a large reach for our free concerts. Our artistic goals for this project were 1) To shatter the idea that a chamber music ensemble can, and should, only play “classical” music, thus keeping performances of live instrumental music relevant through programming classical, jazz, and pop music that appeals and connects to diverse audiences. 2) To develop our artistry and proficiency of these diverse musical styles. 3) To educate children of all ages - newborns and up - about music through engagement, entertainment, and interaction. 4) To keep chamber music alive as a performance genre, and help it thrive by bringing in new, younger audiences who become educated about music through our spoken commentary from stage. Through the production and presentation of the concerts described in our proposal we were able to meet the above goals. Specific examples of how we met the goals are: At all of our concerts we performed a mix of music and genres (goal 1), for example at our “Christmas” we performed selections from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite (classical music) alongside an arrangement of music from the Disney movie “Frozen” (pop music). We deliberately don’t separate music by genre but program tunes from widely different styles and time periods in succession to show that all music can be fun and accessible - not just modern pop music. To prepare for the concerts we devoted a maximum of 10 hours of rehearsal time each week leading up to the concerts, ensuring our artists were prepared for the artistic challenges of presenting four completely different concert programs (goal 2). Our “Hands on Brass” program at the Science Museum attracted around 250 people from babies to seniors who heard our music and learned about the basics of sounds from our spoken commentary and visual aids (goal 3 and 4). Overall we were very happy with these concerts. Our season as a whole exceeded our audience goals and nearly doubled our ticket sale revenue over our 2014-2015 Twin Cities Season. We will continue to present our “Christmas on Copper Street” concert many times each season, as that program has become very popular. Artistically we feel like that concert is solid, and we will only make small changes to the repertoire. In addition, our “Grammy” concert program was very well received by both our artists and audiences and we’re planning to bring a similar program back on our Twin Cities Concert Series in the next 5 years. There aren’t any major changes we would make. We are presenting our 2016-2017 Twin Cities Series this season (outside of Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s grant programs) and will carry out this season in a similar way. We have added more “Christmas” concerts in new communities around the metro to meet demand and are presenting “Hands on Brass” and “Inside the Brass Quintet” (formerly called “Open House”) together as our “Free Family Series.” We’re also devoting more resources this season to promoting our series to hopefully continue the audience growth we experience last season. The community served with this proposal looked like the community we described. We attracted the target communities we identified in our proposal - for example we had several large groups of senior citizens from local assisted living facilities who bussed to our “Christmas” matinee concert. We didn’t conduct in-depth surveys to determine the ages and income level of our attendees, but our staff and volunteers reported that our audiences were similar to past audiences, only larger. This season we are expanding our marketing reach to more print and radio ads to continue to grow our audience. While these ads aren’t intended specifically to diversify our audience, we expect that will be a welcome side-effect of audience growth. We were able to accommodate all requests for accessibility. All of our venues are ADA compliant, so making accommodations for our guests with disabilities was relatively easy. Examples of accommodations made were: We staffed extra volunteers for our “Christmas” matinee shows at all entrances to the venue and at the elevator lift to be sure that all patrons could easily find their way and operate the elevator lift. We reserved sections of seating at our “Christmas” and “Grammy” concerts for patrons with wheelchairs and their families. Our two free concerts, “Hands on Brass” and “Open House” addressed economic barriers or child-care concerns people may have had when considering attending our other shows. Both shows were open to families with children of all ages and were offered free of admission.",,8000,"Other, local or private",18000,,"William Mathis, Martin Hodel, Justin Windschitl, Tim Bradley",0.00,"The Copper Street Brass Quintet AKA Copper Street Brass","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding to support four unique concert programs as a portion of the 2015-2016 Twin Cities Concert Series.

The number of attendees marks the highest recorded attendance in company history, affecting more audiences and artists than ever before. We were able to pay our artists more than double the average non-equity contact salary in the Twin Cities. Our artistic goals for this project were met. We set out to produce high-quality theatre at an affordable and accessible way, and we did just that. With six glowing reviews, packed houses, and many deeply moved audience members, Theatre Coup d’Etat’s production of Equus was an artistic success. Press comments include: ""...one of the best shows of the year..."" -City Pages. ""Enthralling."" - Lavender Magazine. ""A glorious night of theatre."" - l'etoile. ""Bold productions like Equus help renew that faith (in theatre) in ways few other things can."" - Matthew Everett. ""From the first chant to the final blackout, every beat of Equus pulses with a raw, prickling intensity."" - The Minneapolite. ""...thought-provoking, disturbing, and engrossing..."" - Cherry and Spoon. Our pay-what-you-can opening weekend was a success with three of the four days filled to capacity. Combined with our marketing efforts, the following weekends saw a boost in our audiences, making it the most attended production in Coup d’Etat history with nearly 500 total attendees. We were able to cross-promote with multiple theatre companies within the cities to help bring audiences to out prospective productions, creating a true communal experience. If were able to repeat a similar project, we would increase our estimates on set materials. We were able to reach our intended community in both numbers and diversity. Our affected artist and adult audience reach was met, and our surveys show that we continue to grow our younger audience base with 67% of our attendees under 35. Our outreach efforts resulted in a diverse community. Our surveys indicate that over 27% of our audience identified as a person of color, and 38% declared themselves members of the LGBTQ community. 54% identified as female, 49% male, and 2% undeclared.

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

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

Participants will be engaged in a hands on learning environment in a well-rounded theater experience. The professionals and artists involved with the program will evaluate the outcomes and at the end of the project. Financial success is measured by meeting two goals of keeping the participants and audiences fees low, so it is accessible to everyone in the community. The second goal we stay within our project budget expenses. Additionally this year we will ask parents to complete an anonymous online survey with five basic questions to help improve our program. One question asked parents is to rate their satisfaction 1 to 5 (1 = extremely dissatisfied; 5=extremely satisfied with Summer Youth Theater as a program. We are also hoping to receive some practical suggestions to help improve the program. We plan to continue the online survey in future years.","Parents were to complete a survey with 5 questions. Out of 32 families, 16 surveys were completed. One question asked was to rate satisfaction 1 to 5 with Summer Youth Theatre. 15 chose 5 (extremely satisfied), and 1 chose 4 (satisfied.) We received praise and practical suggestions. We planned on 40 youth involved in this year’s show, we ended up with 39. We estimated an audience of 500 and our actual audience was 780! We achieved all 4 articulated goals, and we consider this year’s show a success. We provided a place for youth to explore their creativity and learn about theatre. 39 youth were involved. Our original script allowed students to be creative and add their own touches. Cast members had a blast diving into their unique character, building background stories, and turning a rough draft into a polished show. One obvious strength in this year’s program was the opportunity for our participants to develop leadership, self-esteem, discipline, and cooperation in working together to produce a show in 6 weeks. This year’s cast was especially young, and it encouraged a group of eighth graders to really step up into that leadership role when our leaders are traditionally closer to tenth grade. This group served as a model to others for teamwork and positive attitude despite a large age difference. Another strength of this year’s show was the script’s theme. Each year we strive for a theme or moral that encourages global consciousness and/or critical thinking. This year’s script was certainly educational and timely. Kids for President taught our cast members about the electoral process and challenged the audience to consider the desired qualities in leader of this country. One young mother told me that after seeing the show, her conversation in a fifteen minute car ride with her 5-year-old went from definition of a good and bad leader to exploring different government systems! We certainly met our goal of challenging audience members to reflect. One challenge this year to the artistic process was changes in the personal lives of directors. For the past five years, Hannah and Jake (script authors and directors), Lauren (music composer and director), and Kyle (tech director) have worked very well together and developed an easy rhythm. This summer all had big changes such a new baby, graduate school classes during rehearsal, and a new job. This demanded some creativity at rehearsal bringing in past participants to help with rehearsals. Additionally, our student directors had to be absent for a couple weeks here and there. The inconsistency of adults at rehearsal created a challenge in developing a routine-based environment for young learners. If a similar situation occurred in future years, we would work hard to have at least two or three adults who can be at rehearsal every day rather than just one consistent adult. We feel that we served the diversity of our community well. The program is designed to be open and accessible to all who want to participate. The registration information clearly states that all youth who completed grades 3 through 12, had an equal opportunity to be involved in the production. All households in the district receive the registration information in the Summer Community Education brochure. Those who were involved in the administrative, artistic, and volunteer groups who worked on the project represented the diversity of our community. We believe the community is always affected for the better by Summer Theatre performances. We see positive reactions from the actors, their families, and their friends. We also hear testimonials from current and past participants that Summer Theatre is or was one of the best experiences. We have seen many Summer Youth Theatre participants continue their theatrical involvement in the high school plays, often landing large roles because of their abilities and experience. Students testify that they not only grew theatrically, but also personally. Strong friendships are formed in Summer Youth Theatre, and it is the goal of the directors to be mentors in all aspects of life. The majority of the participants are involved in their early teens. It is such a crucial time in developing their morals and ethics. Summer Youth Theatre fosters a positive, safe environment in which students are able to grow. Summer Youth Theatre provides an opportunity for individuals to shine on stage. Every student is given at least two lines, and everyone participates in several songs with choreography. Participants are encouraged to stay after rehearsal and contribute to set work and finding/creating costumes. Students are given the opportunity to be involved in whichever way they wish, resulting in learned teamwork skills, technical skills, and self-esteem. They then carry those skills out into the community in a variety of ways: involvement in their church, 4-H, jobs, sports, teams, and volunteerism. Because our program design is flexible and inclusive, we are able to readily accommodate participants with special needs. Participants can indicate special needs on the registration form. An American with Disabilities Act statement is printed in the Community Education brochure. A number of participants this year were diagnosed with anxiety. With the help of directors communicating with parents, they were able to participate without barriers. Students do not need to audition to be in the show. Registration alone guarantees them a spot on stage – auditions simply dictate which part they get. This makes theatre accessible to students who may be shy initially and allows them to grow in confidence. We were able to accommodate several limited-mobility persons at our performances by use of our easily accessible, state-of-the-art performance space. Many people utilized the elevator and reserved handicapped seating.",,5775,"Other, local or private",15775,,"Rachel Bender, Laurie Heid, Rhonda Maas, Joyce Peterson, Lori Seiling, Sara Soley, Lynn Younglove",0.00,"Watertown-Mayer Community Education","K-12 Education","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for a seven-week Youth Summer Theater program featuring an original script and musical score.

Also, the majority of students say the Guild is a supportive resource for anyone interested in the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing. The participation numbers will be tracked, and student surveys and instructor feedback will be distributed and collected.","Weavers Guild of Minnesota proposed in our application that 40-50 classes would be offered. We far exceeded this, offering 90 classes, 83% of which were held; this was more classes than in any class series. There were 657 registrations total with 495 unique students. 100% of students would take another class from their instructor, and 99% told us the class met their expectation. The Weavers Guild of Minnesota has been preserving and advancing the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing for 76 years; our Winter/Spring 2016 Class Series continued this tradition. Through these classes, Weavers Guild of Minnesota accomplished the four goals detailed in our application. Goal 1: Celebrate and respect all individuals from beginners to seasoned artists and craftspersons. We offered many classes for beginners; all had at least five students in the class and most were completely full with ten students. Specifically, there were six floor loom weaving, six portable weaving, three spinning, three dyeing, and twenty-five one-day experience classes. This was a notable increase over the previous year. Weavers Guild of Minnesota also supported our advanced artists. Many of our intermediate and advanced weavers took more than one class. While most repeat students took two or three courses, two students took seven classes. These two students were able to significantly develop as artists because of this intensive study. Goal 2: Promote innovative, art-based uses of fiber. Innovation is vital to ensure these arts remain relevant and vibrant. Weavers Guild of Minnesota offered several classes specifically to address innovative uses of fiber, two examples are: Spin a Picture in which students used paintings or photographs to inspire color palette and spinning strategies to create unique art yarn that captured a moment in time, and Mixed Media and Sustainability, in which students explored using found materials and generating minimal waste during the weaving process. Goal 3: Provide a rich, positive environment that inspires lifelong learning in a non-competitive environment, nurturing a multi-generational community. We had two new instructors during the Winter/Spring Class Series, both of whom are under 30 years old. We also had four advanced students start as classroom assistants to gain teaching experience. Additionally, our particularly advanced courses were attended by several students who had not taken classes at the Weavers Guild for over five years. These individuals are active members and study group participants, and by taking advanced courses in Winter/Spring, they were able to continue developing their artistic skills. Goal 4: Provide opportunities for individuals to learn from teaching artists about the creative process and artistic expression. All Weavers Guild of Minnesota classes present weaving, spinning, and dyeing as artistic disciplines. However, as with many mediums, foundational classes focus more on technical knowledge. Design and creative process become a greater focus in intermediate and advanced courses. One third of our classes offered in Winter/Spring 2016 provided the opportunity to explore such topics with experienced teaching artists. For program evaluation, we asked if students had broadened their artistic skills in these classes and if Weavers Guild of Minnesota was a supportive resource, but only about 25% of students provided answers to these questions. We plan to revise our survey to obtain the information we need. Members of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota community share a passion for weaving, spinning, and/or dyeing. Weavers Guild of Minnesota is the main resource for community members located in the Twin Cities and wider metropolitan area, and also for those from other Minnesota communities that do not have a local weaving, spinning, or dyeing resource. We know that our Winter/Spring 2016 Class Series was particularly successful because a dramatic participation increase was observed. There were 657 class registrations, which was double that in the same period in 2015. Of these registrations, 47% were Weavers Guild of Minnesota members and 53% were non-members. Regarding non-member students specifically, we had triple the registrations as compared to the same period in 2015. We attribute this increase to our successful marketing and outreach efforts. By demonstrating at diverse venues such as Twin Cities Pride, Mini Maker Faire, and the Minnesota State Fair, as well as an increased social media presence, more potential students were reached. While there were 657 class registrations, there were only 495 unique students because many took more than one class. This, paired with qualitative stories, clearly show that our members are taking multiple classes and advancing through the curriculum. While we are successfully broadening our community through increased non-member registrations, we are still supporting our core membership of artists and craftpersons. Our core membership has historically been at least 50% individuals who are 55 and older, and female. We are proud to provide a safe and creative space for these individuals, especially since this demographic remains largely under-served by arts education organizations. We also value welcoming new members to our community. Two years ago, we had only five members under 30. Now, we have nearly sixty total, and some individuals in this group are on the Board of Directors. It is far more difficult to measure our success in creating classes to attract more individuals of diverse gender identification, race and cultural backgrounds. We do not currently collect data on these identifiers, but in the future, we hope to implement a way to gather and analyze this information in a respectful and meaningful way. Finally, Weavers Guild of Minnesota continues to strive to offer a rich array of classes for all budgets. Our on-site classes range in cost from $17 to $350, but through our partnerships with Dakota County Library Adults Programming, Weavers Guild of Minnesota is able to offer free classes at several locations. The Education Committee and Board of Directors are committed to developing a scholarship program in the near future to further address any economic obstacles to participation.",,50710,"Other, local or private",60710,,"Peter Withoff, Caprice Vanderkolk, Cynthia Scott, Karen Hovermale, Robbie LaFleur, Robyn Husebye, Gayle Groebner, Debbie Heilig, Susan Larson-Fleming, Carol Harrington, Jan Hayman",0.00,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for the Winter/Spring 2016 Class Series, featuring 18 weeks of educational programming through which participants engage in beginning to advanced-level arts activities that focus on the arts of weaving, spinning, and dyeing.",2015-10-01,2016-05-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Becky,Franklin,"Weavers Guild of Minnesota","3000 University Ave SE Ste 110",Minneapolis,MN,55414,"(612) 436-0463 ",bfranklin@weaversguildmn.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,"Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/arts-activities-support-677,"Bethany Hansen: Administration, youth programming, artistic; Mary Smith: Organizational development, volunteerism, education; Daniel Peltzman: Administration, organizational development; Bill Venne: Fundraising; Sarah Jordet: Organizational development, administration, artistic; Kate Roarty: Audience development, administration, volunteerism; Craig Harris: Organizational development, administration, artistic; Mohamed Samatar: Artistic, community service, fundraising; Rosemary Nevils: Artistic, Community Education, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music Teacher and Performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair of El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and Performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 32615,"Arts Activities Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We hope to reach an audience of over 400 through the run of the production.

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

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

Of those registered, there will be 90% attendance at each class with the same participation rate in the Community Concert presented at the end of the project. The Community Concert attendance will reflect an audience of parents, family member, educators/support staff and community members. Evaluations will consist of documented registrations of 25-30 underserved Burnsville Junior High students with consistent attendance (attendance will be taken at each class). Two parent volunteers will count seats filled at the pay as you are able Community Concert. A short survey will be included in the Community Concert program asking How did you hear about our Community Concert?","Most outstanding was the artistic growth of the participants where 100% of those surveyed indicated a positive and creative environment when modern dance was experienced and performed for the first time. Additional information from the survey indicated that 93% of the dancers from the Modern Dance Project would like to participate in this project again. Through the course of the project, the following Artistic Goals were achieved: The Teaching Artists started each class with modern based warm-ups. Not only were the participants exposed to modern technique, but basic ballet terminology and technique were also introduced. Trust and support of individual movement, were addressed during the early weeks of the project. Once boundaries were established, students were exposed to and actively participated in improvised movement. The transition of the dancers was exemplary and profound! As choreography progressed, a variety of music was introduced to the dancers. The selected music for one of the dances was chosen in collaboration with the participants. Through this process, participants learned the relationship between movement and music. Participants also had an opportunity to vocalize in one of the dances. The performance level of the participants at the Modern Dance Project Concert exceeded all expectation of comprehension. The performers were professional and encompassing. The most outstanding event that took place during the project was the transformation of the participants and the success they experienced. Most of the students all faced a variety of learning barriers. They learned that whatever they brought to the dance studio on any given day, they could leave it at the door and focus just on dance. The best feedback came from Aunestie who commented, ""this is the first time my family is going to see me do something right."" The biggest challenge that we faced was that of losing one of our teaching artists who relocated to New York after this grant was submitted. A large amount of effort was dedicated to finding a replacement who possessed the same skills, willingness, and talent to make this project successful. We found all of these qualities in Alejandra Iannone who was an asset to the Modern Dance Project. We experienced two more challenges that were not foreseen. One was that of performance space for the Modern Dance Project Concert. We had originally booked the Mraz Performing Arts Center at Burnsville High School. It is a wonderful performance space that seats 505 people. At the end of January, after the project had already started, we were ""bumped"" from the facility to high school programming. This situation created a huge challenge for us as there was no other performance venue, close to the same size, with the needed technical capability for the performance. Accessibility was also a challenge. We are grateful that Burnsville Community Education was able to financially assist us with the cost and the performance was held at the Ames Performing Arts Center. In spite of the theater seating over a thousand people, and we had just over 300 in attendance, the theater was a delight for all involved. In spite of all our recruitment efforts, we did not meet the number of participants we had hoped to reach. Recruitment at both Nicollet and Metcalf Junior High Schools yielded over seventy five interested students. Follow up emails were then sent to those students to remind them to register. Of that number, twenty two were males. During the week prior to start of the Modern Project, only twenty four females had signed up to participate, even with concerted efforts to include young men in the project. On the first day of the Project (January 11, 2016) twenty dancers attended. We did try to recruit additional students but the feedback we received was that their after school activities were already in place. In the end, 16 dancers participated in the Modern Dance Project Concert. This was a disappointing number in that Community Education was confident that they could recruit at least 25-30 participants. Discussions have taken place to research how we might better reach out to those interested in the Project. The Community Education leadership is very supportive of the project is pleased with the outcome. They are not concerned about the lower than expected turnout of participants. Christian Kibler (Community Education liaison for the district) commented, ""No matter what, Youth Dance Ensemble has set up this program as an assurance for at risk students to have success"" The Project's population was diverse in terms of ethnicity. Brian Evans (Teaching Artist) is bi-racial, Alejandra Iannone is Venezuelan. The ethnic breakdown of the participants was 83% black, 8% Latino, 7% bi-racial and 2% Caucasian. There was also diversity in age with a range of 11 (our youngest participant) to 57 (our oldest Artistic Support). We exceeded our intended audiences for the Modern Dance Project Concert as projected in the grant. Although Burnsville Mayor did not attend the concert, we were very pleased with the number of community members and school staff who came to the concert. This included administrators, teachers and support staff. Because the Ames Center is located in the heart of the city, those attending the concert were easily able to access the facility by public transportation, school buses, and walking. Presenting a concert in March always brings the concern of snow which could cause a barrier for access. On the night of the Modern Dance Project, it was 48 degrees with a clear sky.",,5990,"Other, local or private",15390,,"Keith Andersen, Molly Granzow, Lisa Gordon, Cindy Jensen, Donald Koch, Leeanne Rairamo",0.00,"Youth Dance Ensemble and School","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Arts Activities Support",,"Funding for an eight week, after school, MODERN DANCE PROJECT for underserved 7th-9th grade youth from Burnsville.

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

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

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

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

Five sites over a twenty mile stretch of Bevens Creek have shown evidence of livestock access to streams and associated damage to streambanks. With a total of roughly 75 miles of stream length between Bevens, Silver and Carver Creeks, it is reasonable to expect that at least fifteen sites will have evidence of livestock access. This project will construct exclusion fencing for livestock to remove uncontrolled access to the streams. Included in constructing exclusion fencing will be the restoration of stream banks that have been damaged due to excessive grazing and trampling.

The Crow Wing County (CWC) Water Plan identifies Big Trout Lake as a priority lake to enhance due to its significant decline in water clarity and high ratio of impervious surface surrounding the lake. The 2015 CWC Assessors Property Tax Assessment reports that Big Trout has the second highest taxable land value in CWC at $4,200 per foot of shoreline. This demonstrates how significant the lake is to the local community and CWC. In order to ensure Big Trout Lakeshore property retains its value, this project will implement a targeted and high priority stormwater project based off the University of Minnesota Central Regional Sustainable Development Partnership (CRSDP) study. This study consisted of stormwater product design research, landuse cover data, public meetings, engineering, and survey design work. The SWCD will utilize the draft engineered plan to solve a 30 year County Road 66 (CTY RD) stormwater problem which currently contributes 50 pounds of phosphorus per year to Big Trout Lake. To mitigate the runoff, the SWCD will partner with the CWC Highway (HWY) Department, City of Manhattan Beach, Whitefish Area Property Owners Association (WAPOA) to install three Downstream Defenders and a series of underground pipes. This targeted approach reflects the lessons learned from SWCD's Deerwood Stormwater Project; which included extensive community outreach, use of media resources, site preparation and design components, communication and oversight of contractors, site inspections, proper maintenance, and project evaluation. The SWCD believes that if stormwater runoff problems are not addressed within Big Trout that water clarity will continue to decline, negatively altering the quality of life and economic vitality of Manhattan Beach and CWC.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Melissa,Barrick,"Crow Wing SWCD","322 Laurel Street, Suite 13",Brainerd,MN,56401,218-828-6197,melissa.barrick@crowwingswcd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Crow Wing",,"Pine River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/big-trout-high-quality-lake-county-road-66-stormwater-project,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",No 28727,"Bigfork Village Hall Restoration Project",2014,25000,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,25000,,"Mike Kocian: 218-832-3561- Chairman Owner of Kocian's Family Market and active in many community organizations.

In addition, the stream channel is incised and banks are severely eroded, thus contributing to sediment load to Bluff Creek.This project will allow the City of Chanhassen and the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District to restore the physical and biological integrity of Bluff Creek.",,,2014-03-07,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Claire,Bleser,"Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek WD","8080 Mitchell Rd","Eden Prairie",MN,55344,952-294-5976,cbleser@rpbcwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Carver,,"Lower Minnesota River ",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/bluff-creek-bank-and-habitat-restoration,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 10004581,"Bluffland Restoration and Monitoring in Winona",2017,99000,"M.L. 2016, Chp. 186, Sec. 2, Subd. 08h","$99,000 the second year is from the trust fund to the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system for Winona State University to inventory, restore, and monitor the 40-acre Garvin Heights Natural Area in Winona and provide related public outreach and education.

",,"The project protected approximately 1070 acres of fish, game, migratory bird, and forest habitat along the Crow Wing and Mississippi River corridors via 14 permanent conservation easements. This project utilized the long-standing partnership between Camp Ripley, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to implement natural resource management. These river corridors are important for fishing, hunting and recreation. In addition, the corridors are a high priority for protection locally and to the State of Minnesota,  MN National Guard (MN NG) and National Guard Bureau (NGB),  MN DNR fish surveys on the Crow Wing River (Staples to confluence of Mississippi) and Mississippi River (Brainerd to Little Falls) indicate high quality fish communities of walleye, muskellunge, and small-mouth bass.  Camp Ripley is also home to one of the southern-most wolf populations in Minnesota and 65 species of Greatest Conservation Need including the state’s highest population of red-shouldered hawks. The river corridors contain wildlife habitat and provide public recreation opportunities. Camp Ripley, along with the MN DNR, hosts the largest public archery hunt in the United States with over 5,000 participants. Additionally, Camp Ripley hosts other deer hunts, i.e. Disabled American Veterans (DAV), youth hunt, Deployed Soldier Archery, and Deployed Soldier Muzzleloader. A Deployed Soldier and DAV turkey hunt are also hosted along with a Trolling for the Troops fishing event. More than 13,000 hunting/angling person-days occur on Camp Ripley annually.  Camp Ripley also makes available to the general public access to over 1,800 acres for walk-in recreational activities to include hunting on Camp lands. The Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers contain over 15 public access points from Staples to the confluence of Mississippi and from Brainerd to Little Falls respectively. This project will protect the current habitat along existing public access areas. Development along these corridors will have adverse effects to existing high quality wildlife habitat, local economies, and to the MN NG training program. Camp Ripley is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 18 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage. Development adjacent to military training sites has limited the facilities’ ability to maintain their military mission. For example, the east shore of the Mississippi River has experienced high decibel levels due to weapon firing, and is also near the flight path of the Camp Ripley airfield. For that reason, the MN NG asked the partnership to focus on parcels directly adjacent to the Mississippi and Crow Wing Rivers to help reduce potential conflicts with homeowners. Camp Ripley is the largest employer in Morrison County.  The project built on the Camp Ripley partnership's success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provides funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center. Since 2004, the partnership has secured over 300 easements on over 30,000 acres.  Easements that focus on forest, riparian and high value ecological habitat are funded through the OHF.  Easements that are primarily working agricultural lands and provide a direct buffer to Camp Ripley are funded through the Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program.  Although not directly leveraging funds on the same land or the same types of land, the overall project indirectly leverages federal and state funds.  Over $31 million dollars from the National Guard Bureau and Department of Army have been leveraged for landowner payments.  The program is a national leader in the Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program.

Recent advanced modeling by the MN DNR and Metropolitan Council of aquifer supplies, in conjunction with predicted demand, indicate the major metropolitan area aquifers are currently subject to extraction rates that exceed recharge. Simply stated, we are mining our groundwater. In addition to supply concerns, several surface waters within the metro area, most notably White Bear Lake, are experiencing impacts due to reduced aquifer levels associated with excessive groundwater extraction. Sustainable groundwater strategies will need to influence both the supply and use side of the water budget. Supply can be increased through efforts that infiltrate precipitation into the soil; use can be decreased by implementing efficiencies, and the use of alternative water sources. The Metro Conservation Districts (MCD) propose to provide groundwater conservation planning protocols to member districts for implementation on large-acreage, public campuses (e.g. public schools, hospitals, and government facilities). These areas are targeted due to their educational benefits, likelihood of stakeholder buy in and implementation, magnitude of potential impact, and opportunity for school district-wide implementation. This project will provide and apply a systematic approach to identify and rank groundwater conservation BMPs in terms of cost-effectiveness. Similar to the statewide benefits provided through the stormwater retrofit analysis process, MCD is confident this protocol will expand to all areas of the state, thereby ultimately providing long-lasting, far-reaching groundwater conservation efforts. Because this ranking stems from a thorough understanding of both the benefits of a project and the associated costs, the findings will inform and facilitate adoption of new groundwater conservation standards by regulatory entities.

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

Rare communities include Big Woods, some of the southern- most occurrence of Tamarack Swamp in the state, and mixed emergent marsh & prairie. The diversity of marshes and lowland brush is important for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species. The mix of wetland and upland habitats provide nesting areas for waterfowl. Restoration would include minimal tree and shrub plantings to provide nesting cover and minimal wetland restoration. This property also provides easy road access for excellent hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.Lake WMA (new)- tracts 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (Rice County) These 260 acres of rolling croplands, grasslands, forest, and wetlands include lands riparian to the shallow Caron Lake and an unditched tributary, Devil’s Creek, which is very rare in this area of the state. Due to limited funding, protection will be targeted toward a portion of this property. The property is adjacent to the Caron Lake Aquatic Management Area and contains approximately half mile of frontage on Caron Lake. The area is within a complex of shallow lakes that drain into the Cannon River. Protecting shoreline vegetation on Caron Lake is important for spawning and nursery habitat for northern pike and other native fishes; protecting natural buffers/water quality is critical for walleye downstream in Cedar Lake. This area is known to host both divers and puddle ducks during the fall migration. This is a great production area for turkey, deer, and other forest species, and extensive hunting opportunities would be available with direct and easy access provided by this acquisition. These tracts provide the opportunity to restore some farmed land in this sensitive water quality area to wetlands, grasslands, and either Oak Savannah or Big Woods habitat. Restoration will provide substantial payback for waterfowl and other marsh denizens given the complex of habitats within a biologically meaningful proximity.The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort is supported by the Cannon River Watershed Partnership, the Tri-Lake Sports Club, the Dark House Anglers Southern Chapter, Minnesota Deer Hunters Association South Central Prairieland Bucks Chapter (Le Sueur, Rice, Waseca, and Steele Counties), Waterville Sportsman’s Club, Montgomery Sportsmen’s Club, Minnesota Waterfowl Association Scott- LeSueur Chapter, the Izaak Walton League Owatonna Chapter, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Groups listed have already or will be providing a letter of support.PlanningAcquisition of high quality habitat and restoration of degraded habitat within the Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex furthers the goals and strategies of numerous resource management plans including:Minnesota Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan (MSCPP)L-SOHC Prairie Section VisionCannon River Watershed Partnership (CRWP) Strategic Plan 2009-2012Minnesota Forest Resources Council (MFRC) and Minnesota Forest Resources Partnership’s (MFRP) Recommended 25-year LSOHC Forest Priorities Vision: Prairie SectionMN DNR Long Range Duck Recovery PlanMN DNR Long Range Plan for the Ring-Necked PheasantRice County Water Resource Management PlanLe Sueur County Local Water Management Plan 2006-2015DNR’s AMA and WMA Acquisition PlansThe MSCPP states “habitat issues are arguably the most important issues facing the conservation and preservation of natural resources throughout Minnesota” (p 31). The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project addresses multiple habitat issues by furthering the listed Habitat Recommendations. The project will “restore ecoregion-appropriate, landscape-scale complexes of habitat centered on concentrations of existing remnant habitats with a broader goal of developing/maintaining conservation corridors between existing and restored habitats” (p 66). It will “ critical shorelands of streams and lakes”, by focusing on “shoreline buffers…[which] protect water quality by trapping, filtering and impeding runoff laden with nutrients, sediments and other pollutants” (p 67). The project will also “improve connectivity and access to outdoor recreation” (p 74), by protecting “contiguous land areas suitable for: natural resource–based outdoor recreation; shorelands; threatened habitat areas with opportunities to improve connectivity of underserved areas; and rapidly growing areas or areas where land use changes may limit future outdoor recreation opportunities” (p 76). The project also addresses the habitat recommendation to “restore land, wetlands and wetland-associated watersheds” which is “especially imperative in the prairie and prairie-forest transition zones of the state” (p 80).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project fits nearly all of the Priority Actions listed in the L-SOHC Prairie Section Vision. The project will “protect, enhance, or restore existing wetland/upland complexes, or convert agricultural lands to new wetland/upland habitat complexes” and “protect, enhance and restore remnant native prairie, Big Woods forests and oak savannah”. By protecting and restoring lands containing large habitat complexes and those adjacent to and near existing AMA’s, WMA’s, and WPA’s, the project will convert agricultural land to wetland/upland to protect, enhance, or restore existing habitat complexes, and restore or enhance habitat on public lands, while providing fantastic opportunities for public recreation proximate to the Twin Cities urban area and outstate MN. Protecting and restoring the wetlands, uplands and riparian areas especially located around Caron Lake meet the priority actions to “protect, restore and enhance shallow lakes” and “protect, enhance and restore migratory habitat for waterfowl and related species, so as to increase migratory and breeding success”.The CRWP Strategic Plan lists their mission and the vision for the Cannon River Headwaters. This project furthers their vision of a “healthy watershed with clean water that is fishable, swimmable, and drinkable” and contributes to their mission of “protecting and improving the water quality and natural systems of the Cannon River watershed” (p 2).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project furthers the vision and goals of the MFRC and MFRP’s Recommendations for the Prairie Section of the state: the area of Rice and Le Sueur County included in this effort is specifically shown in their recommendation as a “Forest and Wildlife Habitat Priority Area” (Big Woods).The MN DNR Long Range Duck Recovery Plan states “Minnesota has lost more than 90% of its prairie wetlands” (p 8). The project employs the primary breeding strategy of the plan: “to [restore and protect] two million additional acres (30% wetland, 70% grassland) of habitat in wetland/grassland habitat complexes,” especially in seasonal basins and including shallow lakes (p 3). The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project also furthers the recreation strategy by “improving the quantity and quality of duck hunting and viewing opportunities” (p 5).The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex effort helps accomplish MN DNR’s Long Range Plan for the Ring-Necked Pheasant by restoring grassland habitat as well as protecting shrub-scrub wetlands and other dense woody habitat in close proximity: “Because most pheasants move <2 miles between summer and winter range, both reproductive habitat and at least 1 winter area must be available within a 9-square mile landscape to sustain a population over the long term” (p 6).The project also meets the following overall water resource management goals from the Rice County Water Resource Management Plan: “Protect, preserve, and manage natural surface and groundwater storage systems”, “prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems”, and “protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities” (iii). The plan also lists wetlands as one of the County’s priority issues. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project meets the management goal to “restore pre-settlement wetlands that provide valuable fish and wildlife habitat, that act as recharge areas for groundwater to filter pollutants” (p vi)The LeSueur County Local Water Management Plan lists their priority concerns and goals to address the concerns. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex project will create: “protected, restored and improved surface water quality in lakes, rivers and streams” and “minimized impacts from runoff of development areas and agricultural land that alter surface water hydrology” by addressing Objective 7: “Increase the number of wetland restoration acreage in the county” (p 3).Lastly, the effort helps fulfill the strategies of the DNR’s AMA and WMA acquisition plans: “[lake and warm water stream and river acquisitions] should be concentrated in the north central lakes and transition area between the prairie/grassland and forested portions of the state where development and land use pressures, habitat fragmentation, and increased demand for water-based outdoor recreation will continue to expand” (the Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex is located in the latter for purposes of AMA; p 20). The effort follows guidance in the WMA plan that “emphasis should be placed on habitat in larger complexes of grassland/wetland…including core wintering areas for resident wildlife species, and needed nesting habitat” (p 11).All parcels have been scored through DNR Division of Wildlife’s scientific SWAAT WMA scoring tool and have been ranked as priority acquisitions with a score of 12 or above. Additionally, the DNR’s Southern Region Conservation Focus Area assessment tool ranked the Cannon River area as having the highest level of inter-divisional conservation priority when examined at the landscape level (score= 6).",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Robert,McGillivray,"The Trust for Public Land","2610 University Ave West, Suite 300","St. Paul",MN,55114,"(651) 999-5307",rjm@tpl.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Rice,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cannon-river-headwaters-habitat-complex-phase-2,,,, 23532,"Cannon River Watershed HSPF Model Development Project",2014,134427,,,,,,,,,,,0.64,LimnoTech,"For-Profit Business/Entity","The goal of this project is to construct, calibrate, and validate an HSPF watershed model for the Cannon River Watershed.",,,2013-09-01,2014-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,"Justin ",Watkins,MPCA,"18 Wood Lake Drive SE",Rochester,MN,55904,507-206-2621,,Modeling,"Minnesota Pollution Control Agency",,"Dakota, Goodhue, Le Sueur, Rice, Steele, Waseca",,"Cannon River",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cannon-river-watershed-hspf-model-development-project,,,, 25817,"Cannon River Regional Park",2014,408000,"M.L. 2013 Ch. 137 Art. 3 Sec. 3(b)","$3533000 the first year and $4078000 the second year are for grants under Minnesota Statutes section 85.535 to acquire develop improve and restore parks and trails of regional or statewide significance outside of the metropolitan area as defined in Minnesota Statutes section 473.121 subdivision 2.",,,,,,,,,,"City of Northfield and Dundas",,"Acquire 105 acres along the Cannon River and development of a biking trail, picnic shelter and shore fishing.",,,2014-06-01,2016-06-30,"Parks & Trails Fund",Completed,,,Audrey,Mularie,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5549",audrey.mularie@state.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/cannon-river-regional-park-0,,,, 35021,"Cannon River Watershed Habitat Complex - Phase V",2016,1380000,"ML 2015, First Sp.

The permanent preservation of these places has reversed habitat loss, allowed for habitat restoration, and increased access to public lands for hunting, fishing, hiking, and other outdoor recreation opportunities.","The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase V program acquired 242 acres of high-quality wetland, prairie, remnant Big Woods forest, and shoreline habitat for wildlife in the Cannon River Watershed. The protection, creation (Trout Lily WMA), and expansion (Gray Fox, Factor, and Warsaw WMAs) of three large complexes provide new opportunities for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation. The Cannon River Headwaters Habitat Complex Phase V program was designed to address the following problems: degradation and loss of quality and diversity of habitat in the prairie section of the State, degradation of water quality in the Cannon River Watershed; and lack of available public lands for hunting and angling opportunities, especially within an hour drive for over half of the State's population. The Phase V program is a part of a multi-year conservation effort, focusing on the Cannon River Watershed, that includes acquisition, protection, and restoration of core parcels of land that will contribute to a large complex of restored prairies, grasslands, wetlands, lake shore, and river shoreline. The Phase V acquisitions were prioritized toward protecting existing large wetland/upland complexes and rare communities (Big Woods forest, oak savanna, tamarack swamp). In addition, landowner willingness to sell and the threat of conversion were also taken into consideration. Protection of these lands provides critical habitat for game species, including migratory waterfowl (mallard, canvasback, wood duck, hooded merganser, pintail, lesser scaup), upland birds (dove, turkey, pheasant, and woodcock), white tail deer, and fish (northern pike, black crappie, bluegill, and walleye). Protection provided access for a diversity of recreational experiences including duck, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting, lake fishing, and wildlife observation. In addition, restoration work conducted by the MN DNR has been focused on degraded portions of the lands acquired, including restoration of agricultural fields near wetlands and lakes back to native habitat. Specifically, five acquisitions were completed with Phase V funding: 1. Gray Fox WMA - Rice County The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired the Gray Fox WMA property on October 19, 2018 and conveyed the 78-acre parcel to the DNR on April 23, 2019 managed as a new WMA.

The idea of my work/wall-hangings being 2D and then for the work to spill out into a visual dance with animation and changing patterns is exciting. My intent is for people to be inspired from my work, color, pattern making and designs. I hope for the audience to find correlations from inspiration I gather during my trip to Finland, bringing a rich understanding of modern Nordic aesthetic to The Nordic Center in Duluth. I will be visiting the Marimekko Textile factory whose designs have been a muse for me since I was a teenager. I believe that this visit will be pivotal for new concepts within my textiles and outreach for all who view the exhibition. For the exhibition to be well attended, for the work to speak to the participants/attendees, for me to have an understanding of the animation process and how to transform my work within this technology will be exciting. I will be creating hand stenciled wall-hangings that will greet the viewers. At the same time, they will see the work transformed by projections on the ceiling and the back wall. This will bring the work to life in a sense with animation from the originally works at the start of the exhibit. I hope to create excitement and open up possibilities on ways that 2D work can be transformed. If I inspire and excite the audience I know that my goal will be achieved. We will seek other venues for this exhibition, my textile work and outreach for interweaving Nordic design within our community and beyond.

This opportunity represents an important step in my career and I wish to create a new cohesive body of work for this exhibit. I also wish to design a unique body of work that goes beyond just making more paintings. To challenge myself as a collage artist I am proposing to create triptych (3 - 16"" x 20"" panels) surrounded by 3 - 20"" x 24"" paintings on each side. I intend to include one painting made up of 15 - 6 x6 small works arranged together. The triptych will allow me to explore moving the images, shapes and colors from one panel to the next. I am also planning to airbrush components so rather than relying on random images and found paper I can create the exact color fragments that will be needed for this project. I have therefore included in the budget equipment and materials needed to complete the project as proposed. I think people react to my collages because of my love and use of color and the mystery of the images that I include in unusual ways. If I have succeeded the viewer should not have to work to seek a sensory experience, but should be drawn into the work. The intention of the work is a visual experience and, like the words of a poem or song, should leave you with an image and emotion. I propose to have a guest book that will allow for comments and discussion of the finished work. I will plan to do a presentation to describe the body work and the history and collage medium.","I am unable to include information about the exhibits impact on viewers since the exhibit this grant funded is scheduled for December 2018.

Two, I will use those newly acquired tools (and materials), in conjunction with the equipment I've already collected, to produce the 3-part ""Fish of the Knife"" series of hand carved wooden panels. Three, I will begin fusing the disciplines and stylistic influences (naturalism) of my mentors, seeking to incorporate the rich subtleties of painting and illustration in my large-scale woodcarving pieces.

Additional goals which support my primary objective are the allowance of time, the purchase of supplies and materials to create these paintings, travel, and catering for the event. The main evaluation of my primary objective will be through the successful exhibition of a new body of work in November/December 2017. The first goal will be measured by the purchase of supplies and materials such as wood panels, paint, gesso, brushes, varnish, hanging hardware, etc. to create this work. The next measurable goal is allowing a proper amount of time to execute this new work by October 16, 2017. Another measurable mark of success with this project will be the funding of travel along with creating and fulfilling plans for artwork transportation and delivery. Finally, my completing goal is to secure and fund catering for the night of my exhibition opening.","The actual measurable outcome of this project was the successful production of a new body of work for my solo ""Chameleon"" exhibit last November/December 2017 at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, MN.

March - Code abstract animations that are responsive to input from each other and from the simple act of touch via a mobile interface.

April - Create a physical space for testing and use it to solicit feedback from at least 6 artist peers. Initiate a studio visit from curatorial staff at the Tweed. 4. May - Leverage documentation of the prototype to begin outreach about the Fall show. Summarize results and create a blueprint and work plan for the larger space.

My desire to make work stems from my love of landscape and my immersion into it. The work I create is reflective of both of these things. My goals for this Artist Residency at Cedar Point Biological Station and Wind River Range Research are: 1) Explore/examine two ""new"" landscapes to develop a new body of work centered on these places. 2) Spend time drawing and photographing the sites I visit for in-studio source material that I can use to further refine the artistic quality of my animations and bring the color and abstraction of sky into my animations. 3) Meet with researchers studying the same landscape but through a different lens so that a new body of work can be informed by multiple ways of knowing. 4) Develop communication and connections with those researchers that can continue into the future and bring forth future projects. 5) Put together an exhibition of the field drawings this September in Laramie. I spend considerable time evaluating opportunities. As a working artist I must continually leverage opportunity with feasibility and cost. In thinking about these two opportunities, I have been able to identify what is possible as well as beneficial to my work, and know that I can do them.

Too many scripts for young audiences condescend to children. They think kids can't handle sadness, or frightening situations, or that everything has to be funny even if it doesn't fit with the story. I disagree with those points on every level. Kids are SMART and have brave, beautiful hearts. I won't need to make the pirates silly, bumbling creatures. Long John Silver is a scary, manipulative man. Frankly, he's a man kids might meet someday in real life - at first he's a great friend to young Jim Hawkins, but he quickly proves dangerous. Without trying to be an after-school special, I absolutely want to expose children in the audience to the realest people possible. Nothing gratuitous, nothing that isn't in the original novel. I don't think these classics would have survived so long if they weren't so real. Allowing myself to dedicate an extended period of time to this project will help to make me a better writer. The quality of my adaptation of ""Treasure Island' can be judged in several ways. First, I will use my own gut reaction. How do I feel hearing the actors say my words out loud? Am I mortified during the performances? Am I excited to have audiences see my show? An artist knows when his or her work has value! Second, this will be used for live performances so I'll be able to observe the audience's reactions. And finally, I can ask the producing company, Wise Fool Shakespeare, for feedback.

With a new, professionally produced album under my belt and having secured management, I will be able to secure bookings on a broad level, to actively publicize, and ultimately to have the financial organization to go on tours, both domestically and internationally. However, the management companies must first be intrigued by my artistic output, which is why getting the funding for this recording project will give me the boost and the extra incentive to put out an artistically intriguing, quality record. Other goals are to make quality recording output on an annual basis, to continue deepening my creative working relationship with my fellow musicians, and to engage in unique and fulfilling local performances.

This objective will be successfully met when the instruments are complete and on display. Additionally, I have two secondary goals that supplement and result from my primary goal: 1) improve craftsmanship as a builder; 2) develop a reputation as a local banjo maker. An improvement in my craftsmanship will be measured by successfully incorporating inlay and decorative wood techniques that I have not previously attempted that will improve the overall aesthetic and tone of the banjos. The foundations of a local reputation commence as I interact with area banjo players who happen to see and play the instruments created in this project. I will have two completed banjos for sale and on display in Duluth no later than September 30, 2016. I have built previous banjos in one month. With improved access to supplies and more efficient tools, construction of two banjos in three months is reasonable. To ensure timeliness of completion, I have established the following benchmarks corresponding with the building process: 1) Necks and fingerboard completed by August 1. 2) Pots completed by August 15. 3) Finishing and hardware installation completed by September 1. 4) Banjos setup, tuned and delivered by September 15. Quantification of improved craftsmanship will begin with a review of project notes, recordings and photos of my previous banjos. I will be focusing especially on improving my skills in decorative wood and inlay techniques. Peghead and fingerboard inlay work will occur in the first phase to allow time to rebuild or improve inlay and decorative work. Once these two methods are successful and incorporated into the completed banjos, I will consider my skills improved and the goal met. A local reputation takes years of collaboration to develop. To evaluate the progress towards this goal I have established long and short-term measures. A short-term measure will be communication with at least one area banjo player who has seen and played my project instruments within the first month of display I hope to achieve my long-term outcome of collaborating with and building a banjo for at least one local musician within one year.","Completed two banjos incorporating decorative wood and inlay techniques.",,1140,"Other, local or private",3000,,,0.00,"Ben Cogger",Individual,"Career Development Grant",,"Made in Duluth banjos.",2016-07-01,2016-09-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ben,Cogger,"Ben Cogger",,,MN,,"(218) 355-0427 ",cogge013@d.umn.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Carlton, Pine",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/career-development-grant-39,"Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of the Duluth Art Institute; Kristina Estell: visual artist specializing in large-scale installations; Crystal Detlefsen: sound engineer, photographer, KUWS radio host; Summer Scharringhausen: program manager at MacRostie Art Center.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2 35354,"Career Development Grant",2016,1251,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","To launch my personal website by October 15, 2016.

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

The final eight will be new material with lyrics and music written by me, Laura Sellner. Chief engineer Tom Fabjance will record, mix, and master the album. My goal is to create an album that flows with an all-encompassing sound that is distinct of Superior Siren. The mixture of new material and the two prior songs will accomplish goals twofold; one: it will lead to more listeners and fans, and two: increase the popularity of Superior Siren while keeping current listeners and fans. Other outcomes include more performance opportunities at new and established music venues and festivals, leading to an increase in compensation. The goal of the first full length Superior Siren album will be measured by the completion of the album. The goal to increase Superior Siren listeners will be measured by an increase in Superior Siren social media traffic including: website views, Facebook Likes, Instagram Followers, Twitter connections, Youtube views, Soundcloud followers, and most importantly, music sales. I will record the number of listeners and followers prior to releasing the album and compare that to the amount following the distribution of the album. I will track CD sales and analyze the changes in revenue. In addition, I will measure a growth in popularity by more invitations to perform as well as more attendees to performances.","The measurable outcome of this project is the 10 original songs by Superior Siren recorded and mixed at Sacred Heart Recording Studio.",,1226,"Other, local or private",3000,,,0.00,"Laura Sellner",Individual,"Career Development Grant",,"Support to record and produce a full length album by Superior Siren at Sacred Heart Recording Studio.",2016-08-31,2016-11-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Laura,Sellner,"Laura Sellner",,,MN,,"(218) 491-1726 ",superiorsirenmusic@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis, Lake, Aitkin, Cook, Carlton, Carlton, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/career-development-grant-56,"Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of the Duluth Art Institute; Kristina Estell: visual artist specializing in large-scale installations; Crystal Detlefsen: sound engineer, photographer, KUWS radio host; Summer Scharringhausen: program manager at MacRostie Art Center.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2 35415,"Career Development Grant",2016,1860,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage","The Goals for this project are twofold: Goal 1: Improve the quality of my work sample used in applications to Museums and Shows.

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

Additionally, we connect to our audience through talking about the pieces on our programs during the concerts. What is particularly unique and exciting about the ""Seasons"" project is that Twin Cities composer, David Evan Thomas will be present and will talk about his commissioned piece and what it entailed to compose a new arrangement of an existing work, especially for Ladyslipper Ensemble's instrumentation. To further build our listenership and connect with the community, we upload sound samples from concert recordings on to the ensemble's webpage, which allows patrons to hear the work that our group does. We often get feedback that is very positive and our listeners are very inquisitive.","The results of this project were and are very positive. 15 people were in attendance, despite a blizzard that day. The audience was intimate and attentive to every word we said when we talked about the pieces being performed. There were many smiles, and afterward we were met with warmth and enthusiasm for the music we had presented.

Audience: Lowertown Blues Festival's online survey will include a question for assessing the artistic quality of audience members' experiences to establish a baseline.

The quality of artistry will be assessed by Lowertown Blues Festival staff and board; audience surveys; and music critics. In 2017 Lowertown Blues Festival artists will give feedback via an online survey. Audience surveys online: From its many years of professional experience, Lowertown Blues Festival staff have learned that most audience members prefer to give online feedback after the festival, rather than being interrupted while listening to music or moving to new venues. Online surveys will be publicized by emails and Facebook, and open for ten days of participation. Lowertown Blues Festival board and staff will assess results and make recommendations for any future changes.

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

Our First City Singers choir will be able/willing to perform at one additional senior facility in the Bemidji area in 2013. One additional music artist and one additional painting artist will be added to the programs offered to adults with development disorders. We receive comments on a regular basis from the residents of area elderly housing communities, as to how much they enjoy the First City Singers when they come to their respective residences. Many of the residents know many members of the First City Singers and in fact there are five members of the First City Singers are residents of the facilities. Having this sharing of music between seniors who are still living in their own homes with seniors who live in assisted living or nursing homes is vital to the well-being of both groups. 2: Headwaters School of Music and the Arts will plan three additional concert opportunities to persons within a 50-mile radius of Bemidji in the fall of 2012/spring 2013. The evaluation for this second outcome is totally visual and firsthand appreciation that I will share two stories: One adult who has taken piano violin and pottery classes shared with us how much she has enjoyed each opportunity. In fact she shared with me that she has found the art form that she plans to make a part of her life. She loves pottery and has made some beautiful pieces that she has been able to show and sell at a local art fair. This has given her great confidence. Another young woman (age 29) began voice lessons in the summer of 2013. She has been very isolated all of her life. She lives 35 miles outside of Bemidji. She does work at a local day activity center and her worker transports her here to her lessons once per week. This past December she participated in a recital situation. Her whole family came to see her perform. It was so heart-warming and her family is overjoyed that she has this opportunity to bring new vitality into her life and how this becomes interwoven into who she is.","In the spring of 2013, a group of 36 senior adults began a program at Headwaters School called First City Singers. This group is comprised of both men and women ages 62 - 85. This group's focus is to come together to sing for enjoyment and then to share their selection of music at five local elderly housing complexes here in Bemidji. This group comes together on an every week basis for rehearsal purposes and then goes into the community the last two weeks of each month to five different assisted living/nursing home communities. At each of these sing-outs, there is the opportunity for the residents to sing with the group and at the end of the sing-out, the group has coffee and treats with the residents. 2: During 2012 and 2013, the Headwaters School has added two different art programs for people with disabilities. We have begun offering private lessons to adults who are part of the adult DD population here in Bemidji.

As a means of evaluating our Minnesota Department of Revenue tuition-tax-credit loan program via a pass-through account at the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation, we reviewed applications for the past 5 years. There have been situations where parents did not earn enough to pay off the loan as part of their tax refund. As a result, we now can determine the best candidates for the program.

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.

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.

The survey will also inquire about satisfaction of repertoire, rehearsal experience, educational opportunities, collaborative performances, and venue accessibility. GUEST ARTISTS - A post-season assessment of all types of collaborations is conducted, whether the collaboration is with guest artists, children’s choirs, or instrumentalist groups. Minnesota Center Chorale evaluates programming to determine which works performed were commissioned from local composers as well as to determine the number of hired instrumentalists. PATRONS - To ensure youth attendance for the 2012-2013 increases 10% from the 2011-2012 season Minnesota Center Chorale will keep track of ticket sales for students for individual concerts and seasons so they are easily comparable to each other. By examining surveys from the past year, Minnesota Center Chorale will determine what styles of music patrons are most interested in hearing. Minnesota Center Chorale's artistic director and its performers obtain much feedback through visiting with patrons following concerts.

In order for us to be successful, it is critical that we continue an open dialogue with our stakeholders: season ticket holders, artistic teams, community, and business partners. We measure our success with each of these groups differently: 1) AUDIENCE GROWTH: It is vital that we continue growing our audience and provide quality productions that entertain and challenge. We measure this through audience attendance, ticket revenues, and season ticket holder growth throughout the year. We also survey our audience on an annual basis to garner vital feedback regarding our programming, facilities, and artistic integrity. 2) COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Pioneer Place Theatre Company is setting a new standard in using professional theatre as a catalyst for community discussions on a wide range of topics. Whether it be using Tuesdays With Morrie as a guide for community discussions on end-of-life decisions, or Don Shelby's one-man Mark Twain show on the importance of the Mississippi River in Central MN, we will continue to find productions that bring greater meaning to our area and will measure the outcomes through participation in our round table discussions, feedback sessions, and the participation of local experts. 3) ARTISTIC INTEGRITY: Pioneer Place prides itself on presenting varied productions ranging from comedy, drama, to classics, and musicals. A typical season is presented in a way to give our audience members the opportunity to engage with a variety of theatrical forms and talents. It is our goal that we continue to bring the best in talent to our stages in both technical and performing artists.

It is our role to be involved in the business community, playing an important role in employee recruitment, tourism, economic development, and education. We do this by being actively involved in various organizations and committees, opening our space for community meetings, and participating in local conversations regarding the business environment.

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.

Increased interaction and shared experiences between all members of varied singing abilities will take place. A scheduled increase in the number of performances and collaborations during the upcoming season will 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, 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. They assisted the conductors in making sure that singers were satisfied with how the choir was functioning throughout the season, as well as making sure that the choirs were operating cohesively. The purpose was to develop future leaders within Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and in their communities, as well as offer a positive environment where high school youth could go above and beyond “just singing.” The Student Leadership Team met 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 observed an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who applied to be a part of the Student Leadership Team for the upcoming season. A scheduled increase in the number of performances and collaborations during the season increased our visibility and gained more audience recognition. More collaborations were discussed, as other arts groups were seeking out Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota for future projects. The number of singers interested in learning more about Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, as well as those auditioning for a spot, increased, especially the number of younger singers in 9th grade. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota continued its goal of commissioning a new work, thus adding a quality piece of repertoire to the choral world. By using online and paper surveys for our audiences at each Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota-sponsored concert, we were able to discover the level of community satisfaction while making sure that our mission was still being met. The surveys showed that the community was satisfied with the level of choral music being offered by our organization and that they would likely return for future concerts.

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

As we experienced last year, the artistic quality of the group has increased. With that, we are able to learn and perform more artistically rewarding music. Due to the location of our first large concert of the season, we experienced a lower than expected attendance. To avoid this issue in future seasons, we are exploring new alternative concert venues within the Linden Hills area. Our concert in April was the highlight of the season. Our performance of Pines of Rome was an amazing experience for audience and orchestra alike. The orchestra was inspired by Eugena Chang's fierce performance of Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations. We noticed a varied spectrum of audience members at our performances. Unfortunately our first large concert had a much lower attendance than anticipated. We will focus our concert venues closer to and within the Linden Hills neighborhood in the future to avoid the lower turnout. Some of our regular attendees could potentially not attend due to location. Yet again this year, Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra was fortunate enough to gain several new musicians in our strings, woodwinds, and brass sections. Just as our current member base reflects a broad cross-section of individuals, our new players also represent a wide range of ages, races, and backgrounds. We are hoping to continue our diversification of the group with more recruitment done online, in person at concerts, and networking via our current members in the hopes of further cementing our place within the community, as well as making our orchestra even stronger.

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

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

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

We will also get feedback from our musicians and the audience after the performance.","We achieved our artistic goals of performing music that allowed our player-members to grow artistically, and also attracted diverse audiences from the area. We did this by programming music that was familiar (Tchaikovsky's Italian Capriccio) and music that had not been heard in this area before (Guilmant's Organ Symphony No. 2 and Nazaykinskaya's Trombone Concerto). We reached out to the community by promoting this concert in local schools, through social media, and through our host venue, Saint Andrew's Lutheran Church, as well as care facilities in the area. This resulted in increased attendance (450 people vs. 420 the year before), many of whom had not seen us perform before. One long time audience member commented afterwards that this was one of the strongest performances he had heard of ours. People were particularly delighted with the new trombone concerto, and the pre-performance talk given by the composer, Polina Nazaykinskaya. What worked was the additional outreach and the participation of the composer. The venue was also excellent. Saint Andrew's is a wonderful performance space, with one of the best organs in the area, which really helped the Guilmant piece. Since we had some success reaching out to care facilities, in the future, we would do even more outreach to similar organizations in that area, as well as increasing the number of schools we contact. We did reach the communities we set out to serve. Our musicians really enjoyed practicing and performing the pieces we played, and greatly appreciated having the opportunity to work on new music. Our audience also appreciated the connections between the new and old music, and the opportunity to hear from composer Nazaykinskaya about how she came to write her piece, and what it means to her. Our outreach to local care facilities and schools resulted in greater diversity in ages who attended, and our outreach to communities associated with our host venue, such as their homeless shelter, led to attendance by some who were seeing their first orchestral concert. We were delighted at how well our outreach resulted in more diverse audiences. Also, the selection of music, including a trombone concerto and an organ symphony, led to our reaching audience members associated with those instruments who had not heard us perform before. By not charging admission, we removed that economic barrier. By helping to arrange transportation from the care facilities, we removed that barrier. By working with the host venue and their partners, we were able to convince people to attend who might otherwise have been intimidated by a classical music performance. The main quantitative outcome was that 450 audience members got to hear this great music, and the 80 musicians of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra got to rehearse and perform this music, two pieces of which were played locally for the first time, so it was new music. Both groups reported, through discussions and surveys, that this concert enhanced their appreciation for new and old music.",,13570,"Other, local or private",18570,,"Stuart Ronkainen, Brian Anderson, Kristine Oberg, Lena Cicha, Emily Pantel, John Engelen, Janelle Lanz, Janyth Loney, Kate Saumur, Amy Williams, Jon Lewis, William Schrickel",0.00,"Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for a free concert at St Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, featuring Tchaikovsky's Italian Capriccio, the Midwest premiere of Polina NazaykinskayaÆs Trombone Concerto, and GuilmantÆs Organ Symphony No. 2.

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

We will provide written surveys to participating artists after the Summit is over, a method that has worked well in the past. We will also measure the quality of the event through comments on our social media as well as through informal conversations and post-event meetings with Minnesota Music Coalition staff, Board and partnering organizations.""","The 5th annual Minnesota Music Summit achieved all of its artistic goals, bringing in over 1,000 artists, fans and music industry professionals from across the Upper Midwest. The only local event of its kind, the conference provided access to artists, agents, labels and media that are working at a national and international level. It included performances, workshops, mentoring sessions, industry panels, networking opportunities and a dynamic keynote address from rocker, producer and artist advocate David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven). Deepening our partnership with the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Film Festival, we not only presented some joint workshops and screened the film festival's top music videos of the last year, but we also hosted a music/film networking event and debuted a screening of a documentary about legendary Minnesota jam band The Big Wu followed by a packed reunion performance at the Amsterdam Hall. This partnership was extremely successful for all parties. In addition to this and our ongoing partnerships with 89.3 The Current, McNally Smith, Summit Brewing, Amsterdam Hall, KFAI Radio, the Minnesota Justice Foundation and American Composers Forum, we also worked with The Garage/Twin Cities Catalyst to present a young performers panel about booking and playing in all ages clubs and with The Recording Academy's Chicago Chapter to present a party ahead of the Friday show. The workshops, panels, speed mentoring sessions and legal clinic had terrific content, and the concerts were eclectic and of high quality, featuring Toki Wright (hip hop), Ashley DuBose (R and B) and Katy Vernon (acoustic pop) on Friday and The Big Wu (roots/rock) and Dean Magraw (guitar legend) on Saturday. We also presented the 2nd annual Minnesota Music Champion Award to St Paul Mayor Chris Coleman as part of our kickoff party at Summit Brewing. All events ran smoothly and most were packed. The only thing we might do differently is book a bigger headliner for the Friday show or have a shorter event as attendance petered out by the last set. Also, we might charge more for the conference as it grows in scope and quality. The Minnesota Music Summit brought together different genres of music (hip hop, folk, rock, R and B) for live performances and workshops with a variety of industry professionals from rural and urban areas across the Midwest. Although the artists and workshop leaders represented a wide range of backgrounds and musical disciplines, we could still work on diversifying more of the concert audience. We were proud that each event that was part of this year’s Summit—the social hour, workshops, mentoring sessions, parties and concerts—included artists and music fans of all genres and ages, ranging from high school and college students to mid-career musicians to older veteran artists. This is due in large part to our partnership with all-ages venue The Garage who co-presented a young performers panel. We also did more intentional outreach to McNally's staff and students, which really paid off. All of the venues for the Minnesota Music Summit were accessible via public transit and were ADA compliant. The Minnesota Music Summit is open to everyone and general admission costs a fraction of what other equivalent industry conferences cost. There was no cost for the workshops or most of the networking events. We also videotaped the keynote and most of the workshop panels so we can make available to those who were not able to attend. 1) We brought in over 1,000 artists, fans and music industry professionals from all over the region. 2) We got incredible feedback with one musician telling us it was the best music conference he had ever been to--a far better value than the ASCAP Expo in Los Angeles. 3) Almost all commented on the quality of the workshops and the keynote speaker, who made himself accessible to all participants.",,15900,"Other, local or private",20900,,"Tony Mendoza, Chuck Hermes, Beth Burns, Dan DeVoe, Mark Gehring, Ashley Hanson, John Munson, Jessica Paxton, Mark Stutrud, Brian Turner, Paul Boblett",0.00,"Minnesota Music Coalition","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 5th annual Minnesota Music Summit, a music festival and conference for musicians, fans and those working in the industry featuring workshops, mentoring sessions, a national keynote speaker and concerts showcasing top artists and emerging b",2015-12-16,2016-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ellen,Stanley,"Minnesota Music Coalition","75 5th St W Ste 402","St Paul",MN,55102,"(651) 347-1662 ",ellen@mnmusiccoalition.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-703,"Erin Wisness: Fundraising, organizational development, Community Education; Kevin Vollmers: Fundraising, audience development, organizational development; Amelia Foster: Audience development, community service, general management; Dana Kassel: General management, artistic, audience development; Ann Erickson: Audience development, fundraising, organizational development; Peter Thompson: Artistic, general management, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35946,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Our quantitative measure of our grant will be the number of registered participants for our workshops.

The artistic teachers went beyond just teaching tunes.

We also strive for the orchestra members and guest soloists to feel challenged musically and uplifted by both the music and audience participation. We will ask the audience members to provide feedback on a brief survey to measure attendance and to gauge their reaction to the musical selections and performance by orchestra members and soloists. The board members will circulate during intermission and post-concert to gather verbal feedback from both audience and musicians as well.","Our artistic goals were to provide the Mississippi Valley Orchestra, its collaborating artists, and audience members with a satisfying and musically challenging performance opportunity and to give the featured Saint Paul Piano Teachers Association concerto contest winner, Nita Qiu, the valuable experience of performing with a live orchestra; we feel that both goals were not only met, but exceeded. Ms. Qiu was the youngest contest winner that has ever performed with the Mississippi Valley Orchestra at 13 years old, and the music she performed was very challenging both for her and for the orchestra. Mr. Straka’s patient guidance and the musical insight of Maestro Smith and Ms. Qiu's teacher, Dr. Zins, helped both orchestra and soloist to deliver a moving and rewarding performance. Musicians and audience members alike expressed their praise verbally and in the survey responses. 93% of survey respondents said they were very satisfied with the performance, with comments such as “Have heard the orchestra before and enjoyed it tremendously” and “I love their music - sweet, beautiful, nostalgic. Thank you so much.” Other responses were “Wonderful concert!” “Love the Mississippi Valley Orchestra!” and “First rate!” Many of the challenges we encountered throughout this project had to do with the amount of time the orchestra had to rehearse with the soloists and the limitations of the rehearsal and performance venues. There were unforeseen scheduling challenges with the school district that caused the orchestra to alternate between different rehearsal venues each week. Neither location had a piano available, which meant that the first rehearsal the orchestra had with Ms. Qiu was the week of the concert. That is a very limited amount of time for the orchestra and soloist to get to know the music and become comfortable with the nuances of performing in collaboration with one another. The other challenge was that the rehearsal spaces were acoustically opposite of the church in which the orchestra performed. The orchestra could only rehearse so much with vocalist Maria Jette in the rehearsal spaces, because once they started rehearsing in the church everything had to be re-evaluated and adjusted for balance concerns. One survey respondent stated “Could not hear the soprano during much of her performance. Needs more space between her and the orchestra, which is not available in this setting and I lost interest. Pianist was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the program.” Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would try to schedule at least one more rehearsal in the church in order to work through balance and spatial concerns such as those that the respondent noted. We would also look into alternative rehearsal spaces that are more acoustically similar to the church so the orchestra can have more time to adjust to the performance acoustics. Additionally, we would make an effort to have the orchestra rehearse in a space that has a piano so that they and the competition winner can have more time to put the music together. More than 300 people attended the concert, ranging from local community and church members, to devoted patrons from all across the Twin Cities metro area, to friends and family from out of town that drove as much as 3 or 4 hours to attend this concert. The musicians felt a strong sense of pride and achievement in their performance that was reinforced by the positive response of the audience members noted in the evaluation above. The survey results indicated that 48% of our audience ranged from 18 - 65 years of age, and 52% were 65 years or older. Both West St. Paul and Columbia Heights have a rapidly growing population of senior citizens, low-income families, and those with physical disabilities, so these results are not atypical. The central location of First Lutheran church in the community of Columbia Heights presented an opportunity for many patrons to attend who may not otherwise be able to hear an orchestra of the caliber of the Mississippi Valley Orchestra; in fact, 32% of the survey respondents indicated that the location of the concert was one of the reasons that they came. One person wrote in the survey comments “I greatly appreciate being able to experience such a wonderful performance so close to my home in New Brighton.” Another 32% said that they came because it was free of charge, and 11% specifically stated that the ADA-compliant, easy access venue was what attracted them. Survey results also showed that many of our audience members are repeat attendees, which points to the success of our outreach and the strength of the community that we’ve built over the last 40 years. Given the opportunity to repeat this project we would continue marketing towards our current audience members, but we would also strive to reach the younger generations and minority populations to build relationships that will sustain both the community and the Mississippi Valley Orchestra for years to come. We would do this by programming pieces that appeal to a more diverse audience base, such as our local Hispanic, Hmong, and Somali communities. We would also program music with younger children in mind, possibly incorporating props or costumes, dancers, or actors to add a visual aspect to the performance. We would develop our marketing strategy further to increase our social media presence to reach and appeal to the technology generation. We would also reach out to music educators in the local school systems for help in promoting the concert; this would be mutually beneficial, as it would both strengthen the Mississippi Valley Orchestra community and increase audience attendance and expand their students' musical knowledge and experiences. There were 2 soloists, 3 conductors, 14 members of the Minneapolis Brass Ensemble, 53 musicians of the Mississippi Valley Orchestra, and over 300 attendees that were able to share in this unique musical experience. We received 56 surveys back with an overwhelmingly positive response; 16% of respondents said that this was their first Mississippi Valley Orchestra concert experience, while 19% said that they’ve attended more than 10 Mississippi Valley Orchestra concerts.",,4950,"Other, local or private",9777,,"Karen Kahler, Brian Jewell, Megan Dvorak, Stacy Myhre Twite, Ann Delgehausen, Donna Hill, John Hill, Larry Lee, Don Ostlund, Robert Ostlund, Kathleen Spehar, Nancy Wucherpfennig",0.00,"Mississippi Valley Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Angel Voice, a free concert showcasing the St Paul Piano Teachers Concerto Competition winner and special guest soloist, soprano Marie Jette.

It was the perfect balance of creative challenge vs a safe environment in which to share my work.” –Jonathan Koh, composer. Our artistic goals were to: 1) foster individual artistic development in the participating artists, 2) create a community of artistic collaborators, and 3) host an artistically engaging and exceptional event for the audience. Our kickoff event included a filmmaking workshop, led by Missy Whiteman, Sundance fellowship awardee, and a composing workshop, led by Adam Conrad, film composer and conductor of the Improvestra improvising orchestra, which inspired and guide creators. It was also a successful way to sign-up participants, of the 25 that attended, 18 people signed-up to participate. While our kickoff workshop was well attended, there was less networking than in the past because the event was in a classroom setting. In the future, we’d like to host the workshop somewhere that has informal atmosphere to promote more networking. Additionally, next year we’d like to film the workshop component and make available online for those who cannot attend the event. Despite this setback, there were many successful partnerships between filmmakers and composers during Film Score Fest 2016. For example, a pair that met at our kickoff resulted in a film with harmonious music and visuals. The composer said that being able to do things like be on set during the filming helped him strike the right mood when creating the music for the film. In order to foster artistic development, we drew on our partnership with Saint Paul Neighborhood Network to offer a free storytelling and cell phone-video classes, and affordable camera and editing classes. This year we asked participants to volunteer to mentor other artists. This was a successful idea, and we’d like to further promote it next year. Aida Alkadi, a novice filmmaker told us she was able to finish her film in time because her mentor gave her the guidance, encouragement, and the accountability she needed. Last year, we were at capacity, so we moved to the Science Museum of Minnesota for more seating, and as expected we had a near full house with 260 attendees. The 18 original films that premiered that night were well received. In our audience surveys, community members highly rated the event. Yet, a critique we struggle to address is making the festival accessible to artists of all skill levels, while making the event engaging. This year, we had a film selection panel who curated the event. This resulted in a more engaging event with films of different styles and genres, but we’d like to get more film submissions, which result in a richer diversity of films. Next year, we’d like to have our kickoff event earlier in the year, so we have an extra month promote our event. Every year we seek to engage artists from different skill levels, income levels, who bring us films with diverse of styles and genres. Because our event is free to enter and films are based on artistic merit and not skill level, we succeeded at doing this. We also offered a good deal of support to our participating artists, including filmmaking and composing workshops at our kickoff event, free and discounted filmmaking classes through our partner Saint. Paul Neighborhood Network, and offering peer mentorship. Next year, we’d like our event to be more inclusive of artists and audience members from diverse cultural backgrounds. This year we saw an increase of non-white audience members because we partnered with the Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center, which serves youth of color, young women, and youth from low income backgrounds. In return for their generous sponsorship, we are leading a filmmaking workshop for their youth in November 2016, with the hope that they will be empowered to participate in Film Score Fest 2017. This year, we had a powerful partnership between Iraqi woman and a Hmong man, who were both refugees of war. They produced a film that critiqued the US invasion of Iraq, a topic that hit home for both. These individuals participated because we made an effort to reach out to filmmaking organizations that serve marginalized populations in St Paul, including the Hmong film festival, Qhia Dab Neeg, Saint Paul Neighborhood Network, and In Progress, a St Paul nonprofit with the mission to “diversify cultural dialogue and pave the way for new voices in the field of digital art making.” We hope to expand partnerships like these in 2017. Music composition requires one to have a music theory background and the knowledge of writing notated music, which can be inaccessible. We recognize that there are many composers who are capable of creating musical scores for Film Score Fest, but are unable to participate because they don’t know how to write sheet music or they don’t write for orchestral instruments. Next year, we’d like diversify our composers by allowing these individuals to submit an audio recording of their score instead of sheet music for the selection process. If their score and film are selected, we will arrange for them to perform the score live themselves or with other musicians of their choice, as guest artists. We exceeded our screening goal by screening a total of 18 films. In our audience surveys, we asked audience members to rate this event from 1-poor to 5-excellent. 35% rated this event 5, 55% rated it a 4, 15% rated it a 3, and no one rated it below 3. We also asked Film Score Fest artists to rate this event on the same scale, 90% rated it as 5, 10% rated as a 4, and no one rated it as under 4.",,6800,"Other, local or private",11800,,"Oanh Vu, Charlie McCarron, Yuri Ivan, Amy Mino, Ellen Stanley, Bonnie Schumacher",0.00,MNKINO,"Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the third annual MNKINO Film Score Fest, an event that brings filmmakers, composers, and musicians together to create new short films with original scores that are performed live at the screening.

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

(re-named from Parlor Music) was held on March 18-19, 2016 at the Washington County Historic Courthouse. This program captured the nostalgia of the origins of chamber music - small groups of friends performing together in the home. Encore, Encore! offered an evening of nostalgic time-travel, a program that might have been heard in a place like Stillwater a century ago. The music would have been light and approachable, perhaps what we consider “classical pops” today. The intimate and historic venue of the courthouse provided the perfect setting for a program of “salon music,” performed as entertainment for family and friends as it was originally. The program featured a wide variety of composers, including American, German, French and Italian music that might have been popular a century ago, from Schubert to Gershwin to Ravel and Puccini. Musicians performed in various combinations, providing a great deal of variety. The audience both nights was very enthusiastic and attendance was great at about 117 paid ticket-holders, along with 9 complimentary tickets. All artistic goals were met. Both performances were well attended, and musical quality was excellent. As always, the logistics of rehearsing and performing with so many different small ensembles in Encore, Encore! was challenging, but Music Saint Croix rose to the challenge. We received many favorable comments from audience members at the reception following both performances. Several audience members also contacted the board president during the week after the performances to say how much they enjoyed this kind of music. This grant also covered Music Saint Croix’s outreach concert at Boutwell’s Landing. Originally scheduled for April, the venue was unavailable at times our musicians could perform that month. An outreach concert featuring Music Saint Croix’s woodwind quintet was held on Saturday, July 16 at 2:00 p.m., as part of Boutwell’s “Saturday Surprise” series in the atrium. The program included a combination of classics and more popular dance-like tunes, by composers ranging from Beethoven and Mozart, to Percy Grainger, Victor Herbert and others. The seated audience numbered around 25-30, with many others passing through. Several residents commented that they enjoyed being able to hear the music in other areas of the building. As part of their “surprise” they passed out ice cream to everyone! The community served was exactly as in the proposal. 117 people were in the Encore, Encore! audience, which contained a good cross-section of music-lovers from Stillwater and the Saint Croix Valley. One change was to move the reception table with refreshments into the performance space rather than outside the door in the adjoining hallway. This made it much easier and more appealing for the audience and musicians to gather following the performance. 9 complimentary tickets were given to seniors and special guests. An increasing number of seniors and students attend at reduced rates; we are committed to maintaining low ticket prices so these people can afford to come to our concerts. At least one senior citizen thanks us for keeping ticket prices low at every single performance. The diversity within the intended community is primarily in two areas: age diversity and disability. People from a wide variety of income levels and all ages attended. All publicity mentions that concert sites are ADA accessible, and patrons with disabilities are frequently in the audience. The audience at Boutwell’s Landing was enthusiastic, and asked questions about the instruments – prompting a quick demo and explanation of single reed vs. double reed woodwinds. They have already asked us to return in the fall! As a direct response to our overall audience growth, Music Saint Croix is excited to announce that we will expand our concert season from three to four annual concerts. Beginning with our 2016-2017 season, we look forward to the opportunity to perform more frequently, with a wider variety of repertoire. (1) 117 attended Encore! Encore! with music by 13 different composers performed by 7 musicians. Performance quality was excellent, judging from audience response and evaluation of recordings. (2) More audience members engaged with musicians at the receptions because the refreshments were more convenient. (3) 25-30 were seated at Boutwell’s; many more heard the performance while passing by.",,7640,"Other, local or private",12640,,"Karl Diekman, Lucia Magney, Claudia White, Doug Wightman, Rob McManus, Larry Zimmerman",0.00,"Music Saint Croix","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for Encore, Encore!, a chamber music concert of musician and audience favorites that hearken back to an era of parlor music played for enjoyment among friends.

We expect 80 children to attend our classes with their parent or grandparent. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes by asking the adults in class to fill out a questionnaire regarding their child's development as a result of our classes. Our board of directors will meet after the Winter/Spring Semester to evaluate the adult questionnaire responses and also to evaluate the success of the semester regarding class enrollment numbers and numbers of families using scholarships and sibling discounts.","We learned that our artistic goals were achieved by observing children's behavior in class, hearing parent comments in class, and by reading the questionnaire responses. Parents and grandparents expressed that their children were exhibiting the ability to keep a steady beat. Some of the adults said that their very young children (ages 1 and 2 years) had not developed this skill yet, which is to be expected for children at these ages. Most parents/grandparents communicated that their children were singing much more frequently as a result of music class and some indicated that the singing was more tuneful. We noticed in the Picture Book Music class that most of the children were singing along animatedly to the books that we sang, moved to, and played instruments to. Adults commented that their children loved to move to music and one child stated, ""I just love to sing and dance!"" Another adult indicated that her child danced more rhythmically as a result of music class. Some adults stated that their children's dancing changed with the style of music. Children and adults in the classes heard many different styles of music from many different cultures including: African-American spirituals, classical music, reggae music and folk tunes from several countries. Our goal was to serve approximately 80 registered children with 70 adults attending weekly classes. We actually had 66 children registered with 67 accompanying adults. Our enrollment was up by 24 registered children from the 2015 Winter/Spring Semester enrollment of 44. We estimated that 24 children would receive 1/2 tuition scholarships; 12 children actually used scholarships for the Winter/Spring 2016 semester. We estimated that 12 children would use the sibling discount of 3/4 full tuition. Nine sibling discounts were actually used. Two thirds of the scholarships were used by families enrolling in the shorter 8-week classes, one class with a $15 materials fee and the other class with no materials fee. Our goal in offering these shorter classes with lower fees was to attract families who might not have been able to afford the 16-week classes, even with the help of scholarships; therefore we met the goal of a more diverse community in our classes, although we would've liked the number of families taking our classes with the help of a scholarship to be higher. We are delighted that approximately 25 grandparents attended class with their grandchildren, most of whom attended weekly, and some of whom attended occasionally or as one-time visitors. We made our class accessible by having chairs available in the classroom for grandparents who couldn't or preferred not to sit on the floor. Fourteen out of the 66 children attending were new to our classes and either were referred by friends or learned of our classes from flyers. Sixty-six children registered for classes, which was a significant increase in enrollment from the 42 children registered from the previous year. In a questionnaire, and in comments in class, approximately 80% of parents and grandparents indicated that their children were singing at home frequently as a result of the class experience.",,10900,"Other, local or private",15900,,"Barb Carlson, Kris Bakkum, Nancy Benz, June Anderson, Laurie Mackechnie, Ginny Jacobson",0.00,"Musikgarten of Anoka","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the 2016 Winter/Spring semester of early childhood music classes in the northwestern suburbs for children birth to five-years-old and their families.",2015-12-16,2016-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ginny,Jacobson,"Musikgarten of Anoka","1923 3rd Ave S",Anoka,MN,55303-2422,"(763) 576-6649 ",musikgartenanoka@aol.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Anoka,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-709,"Anna Buchholz: Audience development, artistic, Community Education; Josh LaGrave: Artistic, fundraising, organizational development; Christine Shyne: General management, audience development, youth programming; Scott Swanson: General management, artistic, finance; Mary Beth King: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Hannah Rosholt: Artistic; Joanna Cortright: Education, Community Education, artistic; Peter Carlson: Artistic, general management, volunteerism; Donna Lindsay-Goodwin: General management, fundraising, audience development.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35957,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","45 singers perform for 2000 seniors at approximately 50 venues each year.

In addition, we sang at 6 preschool sites, a slightly different program, but equally well received (""The kids talked about our performance for many weeks afterward."") We performed music from show tunes, swing, rock and roll, old standards, polka, jazz, patriotic and holiday for senior audiences who would often comment, ""This is the best program we've heard here yet!"" It might be forgetfulness on their part, or, as we believe, our songs and the way they are presented touch their hearts and lighten their day. The only down side to our year was a slightly lower than normal turnout of our singers. It seemed the same small group of 20-25 showed up at performances. We have nearly 40 singers. This is always a challenge with busy senior schedules. We continue to challenge them to make the performances fun and rehearsals educational, or as one singer described them, ""a free music lesson!"" At each performance we saw many seniors in wheelchairs, coming to the performance in walkers and some who needed assistance, so YES, we reached the audiences we intended. Although all our singers come mostly from northern European ethnic background, the same cannot be said for our audiences, which are very diverse. Although the audiences are primarily seniors, they come from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, some sites are senior condos or cooperatives and others are low income care facilities. Minnesota is becoming more diverse ethnically, and all our sites reflect this diversity. We need to concentrate on making our own chorus more diverse ethnically. That said, we have seniors in our chorus of all levels of health--some seem easily confused and need extra help in organizing music and getting to performances. We have volunteers who drive others and help them with music, making it possible for any senior who wants to sing with us able to join us in our mission. At the Como Dockside performance on June 27, 2016 there were 187 in the audience. We handed out words to a 1919 love song, ""If You Were the only Girl in the World"" and many sang along, much to everyone's surprise.

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

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

Community organizers who were present at the shows were most enthusiastic about the community response. Lily Shaw at Hamline Park said that the ethnic diversity at the show was higher than ever at 20% and she expressed interest for next year.

Performers and musicians actually improvised some new material that came out through interactions with the audience or the particular location which keeps the show fresh for all. We were gratified by audience response. 4. Our audiences average out at more than 50 in size for the 8 sites, but we did not manage to have every audience with 50 participants. Two of our shows had to be moved indoors because of rain, so we assume that we lost numbers because of people's assumption that the show was not taking place. Ofir Germanic, director at Conway Park was expecting up to 100 audience members, but moving it into the gym curtailed our numbers. He was disappointed. I was expecting to serve children and adults with little emphasis on teens, and that is who we served. Our audiences were diverse ethnically, and that was especially true in the three shows where Patti Schwartz organized bringing children from other rec centers, where our audiences were majority children of color. Though I did outreach on some of the list serves for hearing impaired people, and people with developmental disabilities, we had no one who required our ASL services (we had 2 shows interpreted), and only a few kids with developmental disabilities. We did have a few people in wheel chairs attend with no problems in accessibility. The written surveys indicate that 55% of our audience was seeing a puppet show for the first time.

Combining arts with the creative process of inquiry science turned out to be one of the favorite school-wide curriculum efforts ever. Science educators guided the children in creating structures with a purpose - truly a process-art experience. The project began with an in-service for staff addressing S.T.E.A.M in the classroom. From there we began integrating STEAM experiences into our outreach events and teachers began integrating weekly T[h]inker Labs that included books and materials to create. Science educators led classroom activities for students in February and April and their parents joined them for sessions in March. The year-end family event included parents, siblings and grandparents. It was a remarkable event where each class displayed and demonstrated their Art that MOVES! projects. Staff have only commented that the children would have enjoyed more time with each T[h]inker Lab in their classroom. We felt very successful in reaching our intended audience and having the staff, parents and children involved over the semester provided lots of opportunities for feedback. We were sensitive to making sure the activities were age and developmentally appropriate. It was evident that students of all abilities were able to participate. The information shared with parents was very important to us, as their attitudes towards STEAM have such an influence on their children. The outreach events which included a Super Saturday open to the community and a Family Picnic event provided many opportunities for experiencing Art that MOVES! 120 people attended the grant kick-off event which included a variety of STEAM projects and experiences for young children and parents.166 students, birth through pre-k age, were involved in weekly/monthly events. 115 parents of preschoolers attended an additional event in March. 450 children and family members were engaged and involved in the Art that MOVES! activities and projects displayed.",,1410,"Other, local or private",6410,,"Sarah Borchers, Allison Brown, Sean Campbell, Melanie DeLuca, Jessica Dittrich, Jodi Farley, Stephanie Ferrell, Ellie Flannery, Sara Gallagher, Autumn Gode, Jessica Koch, Jessi Lindquist, Kristin Madgett, Mitzi Overland, Karen Perman, Mary Beth Plucinski, Mesa Robbins, Sarah Severtson, Katy Sherman, Jody Stegemann, Leah Sternhagen, Martha Tofteland, Cristine Trooien, Deb Van de Ven, Jodi Vucinovich",0.00,"Orono Community Education Early Learning Program","K-12 Education","Community Arts",,"Funding for Art in Motion, a multi-month study of the creative intersection of art and science by young children and their families culminating with an art show and evening family event.

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

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

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

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

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

We had 73 paid members during this project with some 40-50 participating at every performance. Rehearsals are well attended, with some 50-60 members each week. Because we are a community based senior chorus, there is no expectation that every member attend every rehearsal or performance. The biggest challenge at the beginning of the project was that our accompanist had a stroke, and we needed to find a new one. We continue to sing a variety of music and to have one to three small ensembles or soloists sing at each performance. Members work hard to learn new music all the time, while maintaining a repertoire for on-going sing outs. We exceeded our expectations this year because our community Holiday Concert was on a day where the sub-zero temperatures left us afraid we would be singing to the walls. But, no. We were delighted to still have some 600+ attend. We continue to be asked back by the State Fair, municipal parks, and for the first time were asked to sing at the American Swedish Institute. We changed our advertising to senior clubs and residences by sending out a brochure instead of a letter. We reached the anticipated number of seniors and actually extended our public exposure by singing Parker's Lake and Minnehaha Park. We continue to advertise in local paper. At our gig on February 14, the resident who emceed our performance was in tears at the end of our show that closed with a moving rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cultural connections during the series were achieved by attracting audience members from different cultures and by presenting artists from distinctive world regions. Also, the audience had many opportunities to interact with each other and with the performers. Examples included Brazilian audience members teaching others how to dance and a Caribbean band handing out percussion instruments for audience members to play along. Many of the events presented integrated art forms such as music types, musical instrument craftsmanship, traditional dance styles, storytelling through dance, world cuisine, and costume design. Even within a specific cultural identity, many of the performances represented different aspects of that culture, such as French cabaret singing and Cajun music sung in a French ""patois"".

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

Participating artist's survey will find out if the artists liked our new four theme entry categories or if we should return to the common media categories that we have used in the past years. The evaluation process will include an artist survey to gauge how well the four-theme categories were accepted. By looking through the registration database we will hopefully determine if there was a significant expansion of artist participation in surrounding metropolitan counties compared to last year.","Our challenge was to provide a realistic, convenient, and artistic venue for local and regional artists to share and exhibit their artwork. The process contained an online application, a pre-event jury process, artwork delivery and showcase venue, in-person judging by three judges, a public reception and awards announcement, delivery of artwork to local businesses and city offices, public display for 30 days, and concluded with the artwork returned to artists. We planned to increase our participating artists and increase the number of pieces of artwork entered through an increased digital advertising and artist contact and new artwork categories. Unfortunately we did not achieve our artistic goals this year. Our number of participating artists dropped from 70 artists in 2015 to 49 artists this year. Our total artwork pieces fell from 111 to 81 pieces this year. After a five year gain, this year was our first downswing. Despite the lower numbers, through artist and community feedback we feel that we had a number of successes. This year we moved the art collection, judging, reception to a more public venue of the Cherrywood Pointe Senior Living Center in Savage. We had great collaboration with the management at Cherrywood which allowed us a 4-days special showing of all the artwork in one highly accessible room. Over 100 residents of this independent living facility were able to view the artwork and participate in the awards ceremony. This did effectively increase of community contact and awareness to a new group of people and we received many positive comments from them. For the first year we were able to utilize our new location at the Savage Library for artwork pickup (just across the street from the Cherrywood) and artists got a chance to visit our gallery and classrooms. We expect this to have a positive impact to the awareness of our group and its mission of bringing art to the community. Although we are still researching to determine why our overall artist and artwork numbers were down, we suspect, but can’t yet confirm, that it could be related to one or more of these factors: Moving the competition and show dates back one month from our previous time frames. Changing our artwork categories from medium based to artistic focus/content. Raising our entry fees by approximately 20%. Reducing the amount of printed advertising through local newspapers. We believe some of these factors may have adversely affected our planned and expected growth. We are continuing to reach out to the artists and the community to solicit feedback to determine future changes. It is quite possible there were just too many changes this year and we may need to return one or more factors to previous conditions. We continue to have growing support from the business community, the local artist community and within the Savage Arts Council and have confidence we can continue to offer artistic opportunities. We successfully reached a bigger cross section of the community by moving our awards reception to a more public display at Cherrywood. This also increased the number of people who had a chance to see the artwork. We had approximately 70% of the artists attend the awards ceremony, up from previous years. At the previous location (the Environmental Learning Center) the artwork as up only for the day of the ceremony and even though it is a great display location, it limited exposure due the limited time. This was the first year we could leave the entire display up and accessible for 4 days during the judging and ceremony times. Effectively this gave us an additional community venue during the show. Our estimated population benefitting was as we predicted even though we believe there was an increase in the two areas of individuals with disabilities and individuals in institutions. However not enough of a change to warrant a 25% increase in any one area. This year we reached out the American Indian population through the Mystic Lake community hoping to involve them more with our competition and show venue. They indicated an interest and informed their community but did not actively participate in a display venue. We look forward to continuing to build this relationship. We did get a few more participating artists from that cultural group. Use of the Cherrywood Pointe facility to host the entire competition, show and ceremony in a more public place that had the extra added benefit of providing accessibility to hundreds of people who may not have otherwise had the chance. This year over 60% of our participating artists were new to our competition and show up from the typical 40% of previous years.",,2000,"Other, local or private",6000,,"Heather Mathews, Richard Mittelstadt, Joy Burckhard, Tracey Sandoval, Darrell Tangen, Lucy LeMay, Meissa Arnold, June Phillipps, Susan Shroyer",0.00,"Savage Area Arts Community","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the tenth annual Juried Art Competition and Show, a visual arts exhibition for both professional and amateur visual artists.

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

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

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

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

The program director will evaluate audience composition and numbers with assistance from staff assigned to survey audiences to measure whether the two outcomes above are achieved.","While there have been many good Songs of Hope projects, this was one of our best in terms of artistic quality and artistic experiences provided to audiences. In a few other years, we've had a few more countries but with very talented young performers from Italy, Russia, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Jamaica, Turkey, Israel, Vietnam, and China, we were able to give our audiences a good slice of music from other countries to enjoy, digest, and learn from. Moreover, the concert program was well-paced with good variety in the kinds of songs, in the accompanying dances and movement, and in the mix of vocal parts. Audiences at most concerts gave a standing ovation and in post-concert feedback reported a satisfying and unique artistic experience. Overall, there were 72 performers on stage, including 39 new performers aged 8-14, 15 performers returning from past years, 5 adults from five different countries, 5 interns aged 16-18, and 8 staff members aged 18 and above. The company learned and performed 35 songs from 14 countries in 10 languages. Framing the global musical selections were English language songs selected to accomplish certain goals: a medley of songs about rain and sun just to get audiences thinking about the effects of climate change on water resources around the globe, songs with messages about people getting along and living peacefully, a song by a Hmong-American composer to remind audiences that people in the United States come from many different backgrounds, etc. The most common audience reaction: In these troubling times with recent events like the Orlando shootings, the bombings at the Istanbul airport (which occurred just nine days after our Turkish performers went through the same airport), and the Nice truck attack (which occurred the day after the father of one of our Italian staff members was in Nice), the messages of Songs of Hope are more needed than ever. The project reached exactly the mix of the twin Cities community that we proposed. This included adults with developmental disabilities at three agency locations, seniors in five nursing homes, low-income and new immigrant families at four concerts in Saint Paul, two workshops for at-risk youth, and concerts in four suburban locations. The audience at Phalen Lake (through a partnership with East Side Arts Council) grew, as did the audience at a North Dale location. Diversity goals were met though we are in discussions about increasing youth outreach in 2017 and 2018. Overall, the following outreach goals were met: people with disabilities, seniors, low-income audiences, new-immigrant participants, and general audiences. We would like in have at least two more concerts for suburban audiences in 2017 and 2018. 2,200 people attended 16 concerts and activities in diverse venues. 4 youth from new-immigrant families participated in the project and performed on stage.",,72660,"Other, local or private",77660,,"Judy Morrison, Ginny Cone, Hannah Hoes, Fred Perez, David Badgley, Jim Keane, Gary Pederson, Bethany Gladhill, David Pizzuto, John Choi",0.00,"Sounds of Hope, Ltd.","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the Songs of Hope Summer Tour, an international concert project comprised of youth aged 9-16 presenting twenty or more concerts of music from around the world.

The quality of the concerts was outstanding. 86% of choir members responding to a survey rated the concert as ""better than expected,"" and passed on positive comments from themselves and from audience members. The chorale had adequate time to learn the music, with weekly rehearsals and practice files for work at home. The artistic challenge for the choir was learning not only the notes but proper vocal tone, dynamics, and emotional presentation of the work, and significant time was devoted to these areas during rehearsals. Significant time was also devoted to learning the proper German pronunciation for Mendelssohn Psalm 42. Grant funds allowed the hiring of outstanding soloists and orchestral musicians, which added greatly to the professionalism of the performances. The Mendelssohn required a men's quartet. The hired soloists for the quartet also sang the rest of the concert with the full chorale, which added to the strength of our tenor and bass sections. Everything occurred as planned and there would be no significant changes in planning and rehearsing for a future similar project. We feel we successfully reached our intended community, in choir participants (44), local orchestral (22) and vocal soloist (5) involvement and audience. Total audience was 243, compared to 250 predicted. We advertised in local and city-wide newspapers, using Facebook and online calendars, mailing postcards to previous concert attendees, putting up posters in local businesses and at the concert venues, and emailing our patron list. We asked membership to send a prepared email to their friends and also asked all Facebook users to re-post concert information on their pages and also to ask their Facebook friends to ""Like"" our page.

It felt like quite an accomplishment to learn and perform it.""

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

We are still trying to determine the cause, however, Swandive had the opening production of the ARTshare program at the Southern Theater in 2015, it is possible that this inflated our numbers. Some other possible reasons include time of year (the run of our show occurred during the first few weeks of nice weather of the summer season), show selection, show title and market saturation. We ran a very successful marketing campaign and saw a slight uptick in community diversity. We will continue in that vein and use feedback from audience surveys to help shape future marketing. We were able to offer a pay what you can night, encouraging people of all economic backgrounds to participate and we still believe the ARTshare model, offered at The Southern Theater, provides some of the best accessibility options to audience members as well.

We were also able to offer opportunities to newer, ""up and coming"" artists which allowed them to play before large audiences.

We also received compliments and thanks that we were offering such high quality performances to the public for no charge. One of our goals for this program is to serve some of the underserved communities in the park's service area. One of those audiences is senior citizens, who don't attend other park programming in numbers representative of their percentage of the surrounding community.

We also hope to attract an increase in participation by members of recent immigrant communities in the area. On a night where we invited a Salsa band to play, our observations of the audience indicated a larger number of Spanish speaking audience members than at other concerts.

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

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

The strengths of my artist process was having a clear vision as to the performance. The challenge of the artistic process was accurately communicating the vision for the production to all involved.

Further, we would begin marketing efforts for the production with in the first month of its start. Did you successfully reach your intended community? Yes, our intended community was successfully reached: The age of those reached ranged from ten to eighty years old. We were able to reach such a wide range by contacting local retirement communities and schools. In part owing to the diversity of our cast and crew our audience members showed great diversity in race, age and ability. In order to make our project accessible to all who might wish to participate: We contacted retirement communities, Centers for the blind, schools and organizations specializing in serving people with disabilities. For future productions in order to improve attendance marketing efforts for retirement communities should begin earlier and time and dates should be discussed with communities of retirees and people with disabilities before printed advertisement is produced.

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

Flute Fest is a collaboration of young and old flutists and the integration of new and diverse styles of music and performing. The biggest challenge for Upper Midwest Flute Association is to fit all of these events into one day. If we were to change one thing about the event, it would be to hold it over two days instead of one. Our goals for Flute Fest 2016 were to: 1) bring students, amateurs, and professionals together for workshops and concerts; 2) engage listening audience with presentations of solo flute recitals and workshops; 3) commission a new work for flute; 4) present health related sessions/yoga workshop and body mapping class; 6) encourage young players to reach new goals/two competitions/ a non-competitive workshop; 7) present teaching ideas and strategies/chamber music and solo repertoire masterclasses; 8) present a concert and masterclass by a guest artist. Flute Fest 2016 brought together student, amateur and professional flutists for a day of concerts, workshops, and competitions at Plymouth Congregational Church on Saturday, April 9, 2016. Audiences were treated to a flute recital and a master class by Jonathan Keeble, Professor of Flute at the University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana and concerts and pedagogy sessions presented by Midwest flute performers and health professionals.

We did reach our intended community; audience, participants and artists. We reached flutists and audience of a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. To make the project accessible to all, we offered a very low admission fee and scholarships when needed. A significant outcome resulted in our sessions for members to play in flute ensembles.

This happened with resounding success. Artistic goals with this production were 1) to offer an opportunity for less experienced performers to work with more experienced; Of the cast and crew, one crew person had no experience; two dancers had limited experience, and one had dance experience in a different setting. The musicians had vast experience, the oldest member was able to share worldly experience with the youngest musician; the choreographer had 18 years' professional experience; two dancers, mid-level experience, and vocalists had vast experience. 2) To create a live, multi-arts production; This happened, as poetry, theatre, and dance combined; 3) To present Langston Hughes as not only a poet and “artistic figure”, but to show his importance within American history; This was the case; the show offered an education to many; 5) To bring the work of a Black poet/ historical figure to new audiences, emphasis on younger audiences, and people familiar/unfamiliar with his work. The age range of attendees, and performers, was vast, and comments from participants and show attendees indicated the unique way his work was conveyed. Success was determined through attendance, audience response, and positive experience of the performers. Comments from the performers: Janay Henry (dancer): ""The show is lively and full of energy, and I enjoyed every bit of this experience with the cast and crew."" Tazz Germaine Lindsey (dancer): ""The most collaborative piece of work I've ever participated in. Each person brought in a set of skills and we all left with new additions to our sets."" Jovan Valentino (dancer): ""A cast full of talented, humble people sharing their love for Langston Hughes. Richard Woods (actor, Langston Hughes): ""Warm Dark Dusk was a great cast to be a part of.

The project’s success was based on 1) the quality of the show, as determined by attendance, and by the positive experience of the performers involved; which most definitely occurred; 2) the positive experience of creating and performing around the written works of a well-known poet and historical figure; All performers felt that rehearsals were like a class! 3) The creation of a new piece surrounded a famous person’s words; 4) financially, the company was able to report good box office receipts, (full houses every performance!) and lastly 5) the community involvement brought about by the experience of working in a multi-arts production, and whether that was positive. Response to the show was overwhelmingly positive, and was well represented in the media. Evaluation of the project’s success was based on the above, as well as audience surveys, discussions with the participants, and post meetings with the business’ personnel. The individuals this project served included 1) inner city Southside Minneapolis residents, as attendees, largely working class and many lower socio-economic residents; 2) artists who have a minimal degree of experience, as well as more experienced performers; 3) participants including production people in the fields of graphic arts, multi-media production, lighting, and business. Typically, the company has drawn from the communities of Powderhorn, Central, Lyndale, Phillips, and Bryant. Within those neighborhoods, demographics are roughly 30% African American, 10% American Indian, 10% Latino, 40% Caucasian, and 10% other. These demographics make up the audiences for all productions. Actors and production crew with the company, for the last three shows, have averaged the following demographics: 70% African American; 25% Caucasian; 2% Asian American, and 3% Latino. Within those demographics, 8% were over 65, and 3% were physically handicapped. The project definitely benefitted the communities described above by providing a new educational, historical theatrical experience on the Southside, and benefitted the performers by offering a unique interactive performing experience, and the opportunity to learn about, and perform, a show surrounding the works of a famous African American poet. Community members have typically supported the company’s production through volunteer work in fundraising and participation with the shows, as well as many individuals who have donated faithfully through financial means. A downtown business offered free rehearsal space when space at a local park fell through. 720 people attended the show, representing a good cross section of races and ages. Discussion with attendees after each show indicated that 1) a vast number of audience members had never attended a mixed media production such as this, and that 2) many people were unaware of Langston Hughes' work, and 3) were extremely impressed by the quality of the production.",,6700,"Other, local or private",11700,,"Judy Cooper Lyle, Lois LeBre, Melinda Sandoval Morvari, Penny Masuku, Pippi Ardennia, Pat Perryman",0.00,"The Urban Spectrum Theatre Company","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding to produce an original work based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, featuring local musicians and a mix of amateur and professional dancers and theater artists.

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

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

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

The project achieved our artistic goals. The audience’s response to the performances was enthusiastic. Both performances received standing ovations, and many of the attendees sought out the choir and composers to express their enjoyment of the performance. The project focus of Celebrating Women Composers, was well received. Our new composers worked with an experienced composer clinician to enhance their compositions. This is a strength of the process that we used for the project. All three new composers expressed how much they enjoyed the opportunity provided to gain an experienced analysis of their compositions and to make improvements to their work. The challenge of this project is to bring together the choral participants, new directors, and the artistic director, and to produce a high quality performance with a limited preparation time. The process used includes a combination of working with clinicians and a focused rehearsal schedule that pushes the participants to work together and to come prepared for rehearsal. We had over 250 people attend our free performances. They came largely from the Twin Cities and surrounding communities with a few of the attendees coming from greater Minnesota. The audience was provided programs which included information on each of the songs we performed. Through these notes we were able to educate the audience on the challenges and the successes of women composers. We also featured emerging women composers whose compositions were well received with one of the pieces now having been published as a result of the exposure it received from our concerts. Our audience survey indicated they were pleased with the program, the venue, and the overall quality of the performance. We had over 250 attend our performances.

We made our program accessible to all youth by keeping the registration fee low. We offer scholarships to make the program affordable. Two used scholarships. The program is advertised during the Washington County Fair, Minnesota State Fair, on T-shirts, in the Clover Update, and at the Open House. 2. The program attracts an audience. We had 3,310 people attend the show this year. 3. The youth continue to participate. We had 67% of the participating youth return from last year. 4. The youth and directors consider the performance to be of high quality. Directors, student directors, PDC members, youth, audience members, parents, and Extension Staff were all proud and impressed with the quality of the program that we had this year. We received very positive feedback. Several things that worked well. The director limited the number of student directors to 7 youth so that he could work with a smaller, cohesive group. This was successful. The director was timely in getting music/script to the youth ahead of time. We purchased a keyboard and used the sound system that the Ag Society purchased so we had excellent equipment to work with. The show was performed within the 30 minute time period consistently. We identified a Technical Director for the 2017 season, and he shadowed 20 hours with our current Technical Director. His experience will benefit our program next year. At his request, our director served several roles: director, assistant director, vocal director and accompanist which turned out to be overwhelming. We will change that for 2017. We identified several opportunities to improve our communication regarding program participation: 1-we will clarify language in our registration form so that seventh graders know they are required to participate on the technical crew because one student changed majors without informing the director or being given instruction to do so by a director. 2-we will clarify expectations for full-time attendance at encampment because we had several students leave for other activates during encampment without notifying anyone. This could compromise show quality so the PDC will discuss this with the 2017 director who will help set expectations with regard to attending encampment. 3-we will update the Code of Conduct to prohibit “ad-libbing” the script. This happened one time this season and in the future, we will require the director to approve all changes. Changes/revisions discussed at post-production PDC meeting: Director application-required to attend all encampment activities, rehearsals, and performances. Director hired for one role. Director expectations clarified regarding major assignment, encampment attendance requirements, and working with the PDC. Provide training for all members of the technical crew on sound and light management to strengthen the team. This show afforded many opportunities to the participants. There were 14 solos. The costuming was exceptional, functional and done cost effectively. We had 100% parent participation. Student Directors led teambuilding activities and assisted with choreography and script writing which increases enthusiasm and participation. We were able to make our program accessible to all. We reached 3,310 people in the community. Unfortunately, we were unable to perform for our seniors due to a scheduling conflict, but we are hopeful that we can reach that group during the encampment in our 2017 season. We invited Commissioners and Legislators and sent a follow up thank you to them for their support. The show was advertised in the County Fair program, on the T-shirts, and in the Clover Update, the county newsletter. Arts-In had a booth at the second annual open house in October, an event that is advertised in local newspapers and libraries throughout Washington County. Two hundred people attended this event this year. Each fair season, we set up an Arts-In display in the 4-H Food Building, Hooley Hall, for the public to view. In addition, county 4-H leaders make announcements at their club meetings about Arts-In. Club leaders have received diversity and risk management training and those ideas were used to make the program safe, cost effective, and affordable for all who wish to participate. Our program reaches senior citizens, adults, and children of all ages. We had 59 participants this year: 18 males (31%) and 41 females (69%). We had two participants on scholarship and 6 students who registered late and were assessed a late fee. Forty youth returned this year (67%). This year we had 6 students graduating from the 4-H program and eight high school seniors who have one more year to perform. We are hoping they all return for one more Arts-In season. Arts-In is accessible to all regardless of socioeconomic, education, or geographic status. The artists who directed our technical crew, vocals, and band had done so in past years. We had a 4-H alumni assist with choreography. She verbalized satisfaction with the role and the students enjoyed working with her. Our vocal director doubled as the Director so that was challenging from an organization standpoint. Next year we will have a new Technical Director who shadowed this year for about 20 hours to learn the Arts-In production process. He has numerous years of experience in local theaters as a Technical Director so we are looking forward to his help next year. We are working as a committee to identify a Director for next year. Several alumni have indicated that they are interested in applying. We had 12 applicants for the Student Director positions. We had 5 SD’s for the performers, one SD for the Technical Crew, and one SD for the Band. Student Director selection is done by the Director. The SD’s were very helpful with encampment activities, script writing, and leading choreography. Outcome 1: The program builds up youth and adults. They learn artistic skills, confidence, leadership, teamwork, friendship, and citizenship and return the next year-- 67% return participants/100% parent volunteer. Outcome 2: Celebrate diversity as singers, dancers, friends, leaders, and people. (14 solos, 5-6 students helped with choreography, 7 student directors, 6 band members, 16 tech crew).",,4325,"Other, local or private",9325,,"Avis Peters, Julie Persoon, Heather Verdick, Emily Fulton Fischer",0.00,"Washington County 4-H Federation","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the Washington County Arts-In, a four-day intensive performing arts camp for youth from grades 7 through their freshmen year of post-secondary education.

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

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

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

Adding an office intern to help with smaller day-to-day office tasks will help the Executive Director reduce the amount of hours spent on administrative tasks like creating labels mailings, and focus more on larger, strategic activities.Conducting a Women’s Choir Festival will meet a need in the community as there are currently no all-day women’s choir festivals for high school girls in Central Minnesota. We will evaluate the success of this festival by singer attendance, participation in sectionals and group rehearsals (both directors and singers), size of audience and ticket sales at the end-of-festival concert, and using online and paper formats to survey festival participants. We can continue to evaluate our two ensembles by the number of registered auditions. As our current singers have positive experiences while being a part of the Youth Chorale, they are ambassadors to others in their schools, all while promoting an interest in Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. Middle School and High School directors will receive updated audition materials to distribute to their choral programs. Our new promotional video will be distributed with these packets and will also be used for Development purposes such as for a speaker’s bureau and when meeting with potential private and corporate sponsors. We can evaluate the effectiveness of this video by the number of new sponsors. Singers have expressed an interest in more outreach opportunities during the season. These outreach sessions will give the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Board and Staff and idea of what our singers would like to do in the community, from singing at local nursing homes to collecting food for the local food shelf. The Board and Staff will discuss what options are viable and proceed with making connections based on singers’ viewpoints. Evaluation of this process will include interviewing singers beforehand, surveying them afterwards, and observing whether our goal for outreach and more visibility elicits more collaborations and/or gain audience recognition. The Artistic Staff will establish a clear structure for the Student Leadership Team that meets regularly, is sustainable, and assists in organizational development. Increased interaction and shared experiences between all members of varied singing abilities will take place. The primary focus of the Student Leadership Team is to assist the conductors in making sure that their peers (singers) are satisfied with how the choir is functioning, as well as making sure that the choirs are operating cohesively. At the end of the season, we expect an increase in the number of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota singers who wish to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. By adding a student intern to the office staff, the Executive Director will be able to focus on larger responsibilities that require more time. Also, the student intern can take on some concert preparation responsibilities like mailings or concert set-up, freeing up the Executive Director to spend more time getting volunteers settled or even greeting concert patrons without having to be spread thin at the events. At the end of the season, the Board and Executive Director will evaluate the time spent on projects compared with the past two years of not having extra help.","Choral Festival reached 85 female singers, 50 middle/high school choir directors, success evaluated by attendance, participation, audience size, online survey; DVD yielded 32 new singers, 3 corporate sponsors; Student Leadership Team grew to 5 members per choir; 200 in assisted living communities reached/large donations to food shelf as part of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota outreach; student office assistant with leadership qualities helped manage concert logistics, allowed Executive Director to focus on larger-scale projects.",,,,10000,7263,"Joann Weber, David Tilstra, Mary Jo Bot, Chad Armstrong, Jennifer Butkowski, Karen Cash, David Paulson, Kara Rysavy, Andrew Walesch, James Wiant, Ethan Wittrock, Tammie Yapp",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Art Support",,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a non-profit chorus for students in grades 9-12 from the Central Minnesota area, representing 21 different high schools and 21 communities.",2013-07-01,2014-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Paula,Heydman,"Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota","913 St Germain St W","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 281-9226 ",pheydman@youthchorale.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-art-support-14,"Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.","Chris Rasmussen: Minnesota Citizens for the Arts Board Member, College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Programming Advisory Council Member; Mike Carlson: Art Teacher, Fall Musical Director, Potter; John Stander: active in Minnetonka Center for the Arts; Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the Saint Cloud State University Program Board; Helene Woods: Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Member of Artists of Minnesota, Community Education Art Class instructor.",,No 26321,"Community Art Support",2014,5903,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Summary: Youth Theatre Workshop will produce a minimum of two productions per year targeted toward youth grades K-12 and families.

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

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

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

This goal was achieved. Another goal was to present innovative programming that would engage the audience and motivate them to return for more concerts. The grant funding made it possible for us to dedicate many hours to learning and performing new and challenging repertoire. Survey comments show the audience members were extremely enthusiastic about the music as well as the level of playing. We will continue to work to present programs with engaging music. To help the audience members connect with the music, some of which may have been in styles that they were not familiar with, each quartet member spoke about one piece before it was performed. This provided background information that would help illuminate certain fundamental concepts. Three composers attended the performances and spoke to the audience before their piece was performed. We included photos of all composers in the program which we also believe helps the listener connect to the music. Although our audience at Studio Z was a bit smaller than we expected, it was a very successful concert in that the composers were thrilled with the performance of their pieces and the audience was enthusiastic about the playing and the music. One new audience member showed up the next day at the Weisman to hear the program again (sitting in the front row both times). We are interested in exploring other venues in St Paul to see if a different venue would attract a larger audience. There was some speculation that construction work near the St Paul venue kept some people home. We were successful in attracting our intended community, which was made up of returning listeners as well as people new to chamber music or to hearing saxophone in a chamber music setting. We met our goals of making these concerts available to all by including accessibility information for both venues in all publicity materials and by not charging admission to the performance at the Weisman Museum. Additionally, we offered complimentary tickets for the Studio Z concert to listeners from the disabled community and for people on reduced budgets. We also offered a discount for tickets purchased online in advance. One audience member specified that this was important: ""huge kudos to you for inviting various ""low income"" folks with free admission. I haven't seen this much (in this country), and there should to be more of it. It is a very good idea."" Finally, we provided an usher at Studio Z and large print programs at both concerts. Once on site we made sure the concert venues were accessible, adjusting seating as needed for wheelchairs. We alerted the ushers to the possibility that they would need to assist visually impaired guests or those in wheelchairs. Feedback from the survey cards indicates that our listeners access all current publicity outlets. 100 people attended the Weisman concert; 40 attended Studio Z. 50% of the Weisman audience completed surveys; 30% were at their first Ancia performance. 37% of the Studio Z audience completed surveys; 53% were at their first Ancia performance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had some difficult times with our new director and without help from the community, this production could have failed. This productions was mainly for adults and that is the group we hit.

Our actual audience numbers were down from what we would like to have seen, but overall we had a good turnout for the production.

Anticipated outcomes will be evaluated through the use of audience surveys in playbills, gauging of audience reactions in post-show talkback/panel discussions and feedback from nonprofit representatives as to audience response. Engagement will also be measured through social media analytics, reposts, shares and comments.","Artistic success was defined as our ability to touch the hearts of audiences through powerful performances, which we did. Our five actors and thirteen artists/production team members touched the hearts of audience members by bringing to life the heart-wrenching stories of the five main characters and the supporting characters. The intimate atmosphere and the fast-paced, emotional storytelling of the performance was a strength of our artistic process. Audiences were spellbound and shocked to learn that we have unseen youth experiencing homelessness and abuse right in our midst. Representatives from fifteen local nonprofits, whose work revolves around the issues of homeless youth, engaged actively with eager and interested audience members at the performances by providing resources and information, answering questions and participating in post-show talkback discussions. The nonprofit representatives validated to the audience the truth of the stories in the play and deepened audience members' understanding of the issues surrounding youth homelessness. We created further awareness through information and resources on our website and in the playbill, as well as through thought-provoking posts on our Facebook page. Comments received in person, on Facebook and in the 115 audience surveys we received were all positive. Many of the comments stated that the script was strong and well-crafted and that the actors' portrayals were powerful and accurate. We also received many comments of thanks to us for raising awareness of the homeless youth in our communities, as well as sentiments that more people should see the play. Some of the venues added their own initiatives, including a youth group attending the performance and sleeping outside in a tent city afterwards. Another venue collected donations ahead of time for the nonprofits attending their performance, which is an action step we could suggest to venues in future productions. Other audience members demonstrated their inspiration gained from the performance by donating to our nonprofit partners as well as to Chain Reaction Theatre Project in support of our work. In addition, we increased our ""Likes"" on Facebook by 83% over the run of the production, and we had 66 new requests to be on our mailing list. We repeatedly had requests to have performances in additional locations, including suggestions that we should perform in schools and colleges. With additional time, resources and cast/crew agreement, we could have implemented a longer performance run. We successfully met our intended community, and our outreach efforts resulted in community diversity. Our goal was to perform for at least 350 people in seven locations with an average of fifty people per show. We actually performed for 558 people in nine locations with an average of sixty-two people per show. Audience members were ages ten on up, (including a group of Girl Scouts and a youth group), and varied in gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status. At our performances, we had twenty representatives from fifteen nonprofits, varying in age, gender and ethnicity. Our five actors, two female and three male, ranged in age from 16-22, with ethnicities consisting of two European Americans, two African Americans and one Latino. Although our outreach efforts did result in community diversity, we were hopeful some of the homeless youth from the nonprofits we partnered with would have come. However, despite invitations and encouragement from nonprofit staff and Chain Reaction Theatre Project, none came. This was actually expected, given Chain Reaction Theatre Project's knowledge and experience about their precarious lives. All performances were financially accessible with a suggested ticket price of $15, pay as you are able.

Playbills were in larger print. We had one ASL and one audio described performance. Unfortunately, despite promotion in our publicity materials, on VSA's calendar and to Bread of Life Deaf Church, there were no audience members who needed either service. 115 audience members stated in audience surveys that after experiencing the powerful and emotional stories of homeless youth in our communities that were so accurately brought to life by the actors, as well as participating in talkback discussions with the nonprofit representatives, they feel inspired to take action in being part of the solution by volunteering or donating.",,6250,"Other, local or private",11250,,"Jack Neveaux, Karin Van Dyke, Shelley Smith, David Durkee, Jenn Herron",0.00,"Chain Reaction Theatre Project","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for the production of Invisible, an original play based on true stories of homeless suburban youth in Minnesota.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Through this successful artistic endeavor, Cultural Society of Filipino Americans succeeded in fulfilling its main mission of promoting and sharing the Filipino culture, arts and heritage. Ethnic dances and music of the different regions of the Philippines were showcased through movements, sounds, rhythms, stage settings and costumes. There were a total of 59 dancers, ages ranging from 5 to 78 years and over 40 production stage crew and reception team member volunteers. With this project, Cultural Society of Filipino Americans was able to accomplish the following: 1. Artistically, this project provided the opportunity to express artistic talents, confidence and pride in our racial identities. Individuals, some of whom have never performed in front of a large crowd, showcased and featured their musical abilities through movements and steps of different beats and rhythms. The choreographers and dance masters recognized that each performer had different musical and dance backgrounds and training (if any), hence, modifications were made without sacrificing the meaning of the dance. For some, more attention had to be given in order to provide proper execution of the steps and expression. The opportunity to perform and to express one’s self especially one’s ethnicity through dance on a big stage and the audience’s positive reaction through their applauses was an unforgettable experience for the performers. 2. As students of ethnic dancing and music, movements and sounds had to be learned and understood to properly convey the message of the dance. Although half of the dancers were experienced and veteran members of the Cultural Society of Filipino Americans Dance Troupe, all performers had to understand and learn the background of the dances in order to successfully relay to the audience the significance and essence of what was being performed; which we were able to achieved. 3. As members of the organization with the main mission of promoting the Filipino culture, PAMANA X was able to share with and impart to the Filipino community and to fellow Minnesotans (to both the viewers and performers) the wealth and vastness of our colorful heritage. Through the dances, music and costumes, one could recognize and understand the way of life and belief of Philippine people, the sceneries and the natural resources of a nation and the influences of its colonizers and surrounding nations. 4. As parents and teachers, colorful dances and traditions that are part of our identity as a people were passed on to the youth who watched the show and also to those who participated in the production. Like previous PAMANA, it was encouraging to hear young performers telling the organizers that they can't wait to perform again and want to invite more children to be involved in the next production of PAMANA. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans knows that understanding and appreciation of one’s ethnic roots is vital in contributing better self-esteem and producing more well-rounded and productive members of this society. A big majority of the audience were members of the Filipino community in Minnesota. They shared with us that watching PAMANA X, brought about a sense of pride and elation for being a member of the Filipino community here in the Midwest. Some parents and grandparents brought their children and grandchildren to introduce them to the Philippine arts and culture in an entertaining setting. Migrant Filipinos and Filipino-Americans who longed for the music and the dances of their motherland, Minnesotans with established Filipino connections, and scholars of Philippine and Asian history and culture came that evening to support the event and to be entertained. Minnesotans, even those of Filipino lineage, learned through PAMANA X that the Philippines have a diverse and vast culture influenced by both the Western and Eastern worlds. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans reached out to Filipinos and Minnesotans who are performing artists, who wanted an opportunity to perform and to express themselves through dance, and who wanted to share artistic and organizational skills. Flyers, social media and personal communications were used to announce PAMANA X and to recruit dancers and volunteers. There were no auditions held, only dedication and commitment to show up for rehearsals was required. There were several non-Filipinos that participated in the production, which encouraged diversity. To launch the production, we invited community and non-community members to watch the previous PAMANA production and volunteer opportunities and artistic and production description for PAMANA X were presented. Sign-up sheets were passed around for those interested to be part of the production. The practices and the performance itself were held at the Philippine Center of Minnesota (CSFA office's location) and Ames Center respectively; both are in central and accessible locations within the metro area that ensured travel convenience and safety for participants. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans sold 778 tickets but 685 attendees were recorded. We were hoping to have about 1,000 attendees but since we only have 5 months to recruit, rehearse, prepare, advertise, and sell tickets, we failed to reach the numbers we forecasted. We agreed that we should have started early and allowed at least a year to plan, prepare, and execute the production in order to reach our goal and to have a better outcome of the production. Learning this, we will definitely take this into account for our next PAMANA production. Cultural Society of Filipino Americans reached out to the community to find out who wanted to watch the show but could not financially afford it; 30 tickets were given to students and elderly individuals. Elderly, disabled and wheelchair users were able to use Ames Center’s ramps and elevators and had designated seats. During the show, souvenir programs were available to guide the members of the audience to the individual dances and backgrounds, the represented regions, historical eras, and foreign influences. The program notes also offered information about the Philippines. PAMANA X gave individuals who otherwise do not participate in art activities, an opportunity to learn and express art in the form of dance. PAMANA X was able to address the longing of the American-Filipino community for a Filipino production that they have not seen for 4 years. Based on an audience survey, about 95% positively changed their attitude about the Philippines because of the production.",,29500,"Other, local or private",34500,,"Ligaya Carlos, Nena Alojado, Rowena Carlson, Lorna Faustino, Bernadette Panaligan, Gary Alexander Paz, Mary Jane Ungemach, Catherine Van Hoecke",0.00,"Cultural Society of Filipino-Americans","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for PAMANA X (ten), a 2-hour dance and music production that showcases authentic Filipino dances, music and costumes; depicts distinct historical periods, geographic areas and cultural influences; and provides an artistic forum for Filipino cultur",2016-03-25,2016-09-10,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Catherine,"Van Hoecke","Cultural Society of Filipino - Americans, Inc.","1380 Frost Ave",Maplewood,MN,55109,"(651) 243-2732 ",cathyvanhoecke@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-662,"Bill Muchow: Artistic, finance, administration; Alejandra Pelinka: Administration, artistic, fundraising; Laura Narhi: Fundraising, administration, organizational development; Paul Eastwold: Disabilities specialist, education, administration; Juliet Parisi: Artistic, education, organizational development; Brenda Lyseng: Administration, education, organizational development; Edna Stevens: Fundraising, computer systems, disabilities specialist.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.",,2 35869,"Community Arts",2016,4300,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Cultural Heritage","500+ persons attended the event by approx. 30 vendors and several demonstrators with handmade general or European traditional crafts along with European style entertainment.

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

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

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

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

The DIAL Group will collect participant feedback/surveys to measure the impact and satisfaction of the program's participants, and artist surveys to measure the success related to the program's facilitators. Furthermore, we will audit the project income and expenses to ensure that In Focus activities are completed within projected budget and time frame.","The DIAL (Data-driven Initiatives through Artists Leadership) provided our In Focus: Digital Media Arts and Youth Leadership Program (or simply In Focus) – a program that provides at-risk, under-served youths of color in North Minneapolis a high quality, after-school media arts program, with a service-learning component focused on community engagement and information sharing regarding issues of concern to the participants, their peers, and the community. The artistic goals of In Focus were to: (1) Expand the access to art for communities of color and youth, (2) Leverage the talents of community artists for social betterment, and (3) Develop the artistic interest and skills for at-risk youths of color. We have successfully achieved the three goals we had designed for the program. The DIAL and our partners measured the artistic success through pre- and post-program participant surveys, interviews, focus group discussion and critiques of art projects, and regular monitoring and evaluation of In Focus activities. Several In Focus activities that worked were: Highly skilled artist-organizers provided weekly, after-school media arts training and production session to students of color in North Minneapolis. Artist-organizers demonstrated the power of the arts to positively impact communities, using media arts to engage other youth and community members. In Focus instructors, who are from similar backgrounds as the participants, shared media arts techniques and mentored the youth, to help them develop interest in the arts and positive growth. One program challenge was having the participants attend the program weekly. Although we had good overall participant numbers, weekly attendance numbers fluctuated greatly throughout the program period due to the youth’s busy schedules and competing external activities. We discussed this issue with our program partners and advisors, and decided to implement a stipend, provided by Beacons Minneapolis, for youths who regularly participated in the program. This had a positive impact on the weekly attendance numbers, and we saw more students participating on a consistent basis. Two things we will do differently in future offerings of In Focus are securing resources, internally or externally, for participant stipends; and conducing broader outreach in the school and community to enroll greater number of youth. The DIAL intends to include the youth stipends in the program budget to make it a regular part of the program’s expenses. We will also work with our partners to identify more opportunities to recruit students for the program. We believe these adjustments will improve weekly participation attendance, and lead to program growth. In Focus’ media arts training and leadership program successfully served and benefited our different intended audiences: at-risk youths of color, artists and creative professionals of color, and under-served community members. The reason for serving these specific groups is based on past programming experience and research findings that they face some of the greatest challenges and barriers in the Twin Cities. Participants: 100% of the participants were youths of color from low-income families. Artists: 100% of the artists were from communities of color. Audiences: A great majority of audiences at our presentations were people of color from under-served communities. The DIAL was also successful in meeting our goals for making our project open and accessible for all who wanted to participate. In Focus is a free program so there are no cost barriers for our target participant group of low-income youth. Also, we provide In Focus at our partner school Patrick Henry High School, which is a public high school, meaning all facilities meet ADA regulations. Furthermore, we provided transportation options (bus cards, reimbursement, etc.) to be inclusive of those who want to participate but have ride issue. Quantitatively, we trained and mentored 15+ at-risk, students of color, employed 3 artists of color, and created 4 high-quality media/communications products for the community. Qualitatively, we learned through participant interviews and surveys that 100% of the youth learned to better express themselves through media arts, found it to be a useful tool in supporting the community.",,7500,"Other, local or private",12500,,"David Kang, Kang Vang, Peg Thomas, Raiza Beltran",0.00,"The DIAL GROUP","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for In Focus: Media Arts and Youth Leadership Program, providing at-risk, under-served youths of color in North Minneapolis a high quality, after-school media arts program with a service-learning component focused on community engagement.",2015-12-16,2016-06-15,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,David,Kang,"The DIAL Group","1930 Glenwood Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55405,"(646) 335-2008 ",davidkang.dial@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-667,"Erin Wisness: Fundraising, organizational development, Community Education; Kevin Vollmers: Fundraising, audience development, organizational development; Amelia Foster: Audience development, community service, general management; Dana Kassel: General management, artistic, audience development; Ann Erickson: Audience development, fundraising, organizational development; Peter Thompson: Artistic, general management, fundraising.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Amy Crawford (651) 523-6390 ",1 35878,"Community Arts",2016,3200,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","The goals of this festival are to expose festival attendees to the rich arts and culture of countries around the world by highlighting local residents and diverse performing artists.

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

The Harvest of Art event included an art exhibit featuring 45 artists, most submitting 2 pieces of artwork. We also had live entertainment by the Family Trade, artist demonstrations, raku pottery firing and pop-up artist tents. Each of these activities invited participants to interact directly with artwork, art making and/or artists. A new activity included this year was the Community Supported Art project. This project, modeled after Community Supported Agriculture, featured 25 shares of artwork from 6 local artists. Each share include 6 original pieces of artwork created just for the 2016 Community Supported Art. Artwork included: set of hand painted greeting cards, photo of Eagan's natural settings, pyrograph coasters featuring Eagan locations, horse hair fired pottery piece, fused glass platter and an oversize clay serving bowl. While, it was challenging to explain a new concept to the community, it was very well received and offered a unique way for people to connect to artists and their artwork in a very personal manner. Community Supported Art buyers picked up their box at the Harvest event and were able to meet each artist. We are planning to repeat the project again in 2017. 2.) Skill building for artists. The Eagan Artist Connect group continued to grow with 80+ Facebook group members and regular monthly attendance of 25-30 artists. We hosted Springboard for the Arts' ""Career Planning for Artists,"" ""Framing Your Artwork"" with Wet Paint and a presentation by mnartists.org. We also invited members of the group to speak on areas of their own expertise, including ""Applying for Art Festivals"" and ""hands on pricing workshop with Excel."" The group also had 2 art making sessions, allowing artists to create work, sketch and share ideas. The guest speakers and discussion topics were helpful and imparted valuable information to artists working in the community. This project succeeded in deepening connections between the artists and the Eagan community through several strategies, including the Community Supported Art project, the Harvest exhibit and event activities. The project allowed the community to engage in a variety of ways from viewing to buying to participating. This multi-focus on engagement is a key component to the project. For future artistic/community engagement projects, we will repeat the Community Supported Art and Harvest event activities. The focus on skill building for artists through Eagan Artist Connect continues to face challenges. This multi-disciplinary group has great synergy, but lacks internal leadership for sustainability. Staff struggles with capacity to adequately support this group. The group will continue, but will need to re-assess their goals moving forward. The project successfully reached our intended community, both for artist engagement and for community engagement. * Artist Engagement. The project attracted artists from the local community. The professional development workshops and monthly meetings attracted new artists to engage. All six Community Supported Art artists were already involved in the Eagan Art House Community. However, one artists was fairly new at artwork production, so the Community Supported Art opportunity was a great way for her to strengthen her connections to the community as an artist in addition to being a well-known business owner. The artists who participated in pop-up artist booths at the Harvest of Art Event had exhibited or sold with art house events before. However, 2 of them had not had an artist booth before. All of the individual artist connections with the community represented a broad diversity of media, including pottery, watercolor painting, photography, fused glass, acrylic painting, jewelry, oil painting, and wood burning (pyrography). We also reached a broad diversity in age from the young participants in the raku pottery firing and exhibitors to the senior adult population. The Harvest of Art Exhibit was a prime example of representing a diversity of skill levels of art making. Because of the welcoming nature of this community visual art exhibition, we highlighted the very beginning artists to the very skilled artists, and every skill level in between. Some artists are self-taught and work on their own. Others have taken art classes for many years and make most of their art at the Eagan Art House. One mother and daughter pair both entered work into the exhibit - the mother started painting to spend creative time with her daughter. The Harvest of Art Event also attracted new audience members from diverse communities in Eagan, especially those from India and East Asia. We also saw an uptick in new volunteers. As far as accessibility, our activities were very accessible to artists and to the community. Artist workshops with Springboard for the Arts and with Wet Paint Artist Supply were free. The Harvest Event was free to attend and Raku pottery was for sale at $5, $10 and $15 levels. The facility of the Eagan Art House is ADA accessible. We paid special attention that the parts of the event that took place on the outdoor grounds of the Art House could be accessed by those with mobility challenges. For example, the artist pop up tents and registration table were both on asphalt to aid in accessibility. Grassy areas were kept clear of barriers. A video of the event was produced by ETV and broadcast on local cable TV. On-line promotional materials were formatted to allow for audio transcription. Event attendance increased from 275 in 2015 to 400 in 2016. Local artists supported was strengthened. From a survey of Community Supported Art purchasers, 2 of the respondents didn't know any of the artists when they purchased, showing a support of local artists regardless of who it was. All of those who responded had purchased or contacted the artist after the Community Supported Art. 6 artists participated in the first ever Community Supported Art.",,14398,"Other, local or private",19398,,"Jerry Farlee, Nathan Neuman, Michael Palmer, Dorothy Peterson, Andrea Todd Harlin, David Wietecki, Dave Morris",0.00,"City of Eagan Parks and Recreation AKA Eagan Art House","Local/Regional Government","Community Arts",,"Funding for Art Connect Eagan, a year-long project connecting local visual artists and the Eagan community through monthly artist gatherings, the annual Harvest of Art Celebration event featuring a visual art exhibition, artist demonstrations, artist vend",2016-01-01,2016-12-18,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Julie,Andersen,"City of Eagan Parks and Recreation","3830 Pilot Knob Rd Eagan Art House",Eagan,MN,55122-1810,"(651) 675-5521 ",jandersen@cityofeagan.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council",,Dakota,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-670,"Anna Buchholz: Audience development, artistic, Community Education; Josh LaGrave: Artistic, fundraising, organizational development; Christine Shyne: General management, audience development, youth programming; Scott Swanson: General management, artistic, finance; Mary Beth King: Artistic, organizational development, general management; Hannah Rosholt: Artistic; Joanna Cortright: Education, Community Education, artistic; Peter Carlson: Artistic, general management, volunteerism; Donna Lindsay-Goodwin: General management, fundraising, audience development.","Julie Andersen: Eagan Art House Executive Director; Jill Anfang: Roseville Parks and Recreation Program Director; Bethany Brunsell: Music teacher and performer; Shelly Chamberlain: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits Operations Director; Marisol Chiclana-Ayla: Artist, Board Chair El Arco Iris; Anthony Galloway: Actor, storyteller, West Metro Education Program; Jamil Jude: Theatre artist; Tricia Khutoretsky: Public Functionary Curator and Co-Director; Peter Leggett: Walker West Music Academy Executive Director; Dayna Martinez: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; Coleen McLaughlin: Arts Midwest Director of External Relations; Tom Moffatt: Silverwood Park Supervisor; Kathy Mouacheupao: Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation Cultural Corridor Coordinator; Adam Napoli-Rangel: Artist; Heather Rutledge: ArtReach Saint Croix Executive Director; Andrea Sjogren: Hopkins Public Schools Youth Programs Coordinator; Dameun Strange: Composer and performer; Melissa Wright: Twin Cities Public Television.","Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Amy Crawford (651) 523-6390 ",1 35881,"Community Arts",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Cultural Heritage","To provide our youth with a great 8-week artistic quality experience and allow them a performance opportunity in a safe and loving environment.

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

We hope to successfully incorporate multimedia into a concert and establish this capability for East Metro Symphony Orchestra in future performances. Evaluation methods will include audience count; audience survey results; and post-performance feedback from audience members, artistic partners, orchestra members, and technical support.","East Metro Symphony Orchestra achieved most of the artistic goals outlined in our proposal. Our three performances were family-friendly, our audiences were enthusiastic about the programs presented, our orchestra members embraced the music selections and found them appropriately diverse and challenging, individual orchestra members were showcased and our collaborations continued with two Senior Living communities. Our Senior Living concerts were well received, with a 20% increase in audience size and they continue to be a satisfying tradition in our concert seasons. For the May concert, our original proposal had to be modified (see 4. Project Changes) because of the sudden and unexpected dissolution of our musical partnership with Saint Mark's Lutheran Church. We performed at that venue as planned, but were not able to present a concert in collaboration with their music director and choir. The program we substituted, however, more than met our goals. We connected with the Twin Cities Russian community, showcased Saint Mary's Balalaika Orchestra and a superbly talented local Russian pianist, and hosted a display for concert attendees provided by the Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis. We successfully added a multi-media component to this concert that both challenged and expanded our capabilities as an organization. Beyond the musical challenges of this May concert, the expenses and logistics of coordinating with Saint Mark's media people and equipment requirements (including bringing in a concert grand piano) were much more demanding than for our typical concerts. Orchestra members and volunteers rose to the challenges with creative solutions to problems and extra donations to cover additional expenses. Our success with this concert gave us the confidence to try something like it again. We now know some of the complications to anticipate, and more about how much lead time it takes for planning. Because this May concert was an unexpected substitution for our original plans, we did a lot of scrambling to pull it together. We learned that as a group we are capable of doing this, but also that we need to keep working on expanding and maintaining adequate volunteer resources both within and outside of the orchestra to support our future efforts. We were not able fulfill the goal of strengthening our collaboration with the Saint Mark's music program, due to the sudden departure of the music director. We did, however, keep our association with the church as a performance venue. We went beyond serving the community we intended to and expected to. The Senior Living concert at Stonecrest had an audience that was larger and more diverse in age than we expected, because the facility advertised it to its greater community (beyond just residents). Because of the change in our May concert offering we actually expanded the diversity of our audience culturally and geographically. We attracted members of the Twin Cities Russian community because of our concert program. Our outreach also resulted in more audience members from the Minneapolis area. To be more accessible, we offered ASL support (upon request) and large print programs. We had no requests for the ASL support and so did not provide it at this concert. We did have a number of audience members who took advantage of the large print programs. We will continue to offer these supports at future concerts. East Metro Symphony Orchestra successfully organized and presented a multi-media concert, establishing the groundwork and confidence to do something like this again in the future. We also began a very positive relationship with a new Senior Living facility, Stonecrest. We expect to continue this affiliation. East Metro Symphony Orchestra expanded our relationship with the local Russian community and our hopes for future collaborations.",,5670,"Other, local or private",10670,,"Betsy Lake, Angie Newgren, Mark Mohwinkel, Janice Wenker, Sally Browne, Emily Kaczynski, Don Mitchell",0.00,"East Metro Symphony Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts",,"Funding for French Favorites featuring the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony and the Faure Requiem in collaboration with St Mark's Lutheran Church choir, and two free concerts at Senior Living Communities.

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

Cast, crew, musicians, and audience members were reflective of the St Anthony community overall. We promoted the opportunity to participate through the local community center, local businesses, places of worship, schools, and in local newspapers as well as through social media. For artists and participants in cast and crew, we were able to include a wide range of ages... from age five to age 72. We also were able to involve whole families by providing opportunities for family members to participate in everything from learning about and helping with set design and build, costuming, lighting and sound design, crew, orchestra, and acting. In terms of audience we promoted the show through local businesses, community gathering places, media, and social media, and offered discounted ticket prices and promotions to reach new and more diverse audience members. We offered discounts for seniors, students, and families (25% discount on purchase of 4 or more tickets). We also had a social media promotion for $5 student tickets. These promotions were possible because of the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council grant and is the primary reason why we exceeded our box office goals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

During the grant period, Hope's comprehensive database will show us who is involved, in what and how often.

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

To evaluate how International Festival of Burnsville strengthens our diverse community by sharing an exceptional arts experience, Burnsville police officers provide crowd size estimates throughout the day; number of festival programs (with tear-off survey) and food/activity ticket sales support overall tally too.

FABULOUS audience response to this year's cadre of entertainers. Visit International Festival of Burnsville on Facebook and see the album that mirrors our mission. Do differently? Reassure Native American flagbearer --carrying his tribe's sacred eagle staff, that to walk alongside the US flagbearer carrying the American flag well above the staff, is most appropriate. Committee considers hiring additional henna hand-painters as lines are longest there on the Family Arts and Activities hill. Also add two more tall sandwich boards that encourage guests to visit the cultural booths and exhibit indoors in the Ames Center gallery. Within the gallery, the most favored cultural display booths were those of India and Somalia; at both booths, the women dressed guests in cultural attire which resulted in lots of laughter, smiles, and photo opportunities. France and Germany carried on a lively exchange about cheese and wine pairings, wine bottle labels, and the many immigrants who came to Minnesota. Returning to Family Arts and Activities, visitors were encouraged to enter their contact info into a ""Where in the World Are You?"" book under the Share Your Story Tent --these entries may provide interviews and clips for next year's festival --greater outreach and event promotion. A member of our planning committee (and chairs fam arts and activities area) is also a radio talk show host; Naseema interviewed Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, alongside our festival chair Amber Swiggum, for nearly a full hour of festival which ran 'round social media as a podcast! Our outreach efforts were rewarded in many ways: In addition to more sponsors on-site during International Festival of Burnsville, hundreds of guests toured ""Tracks in the Snow: The Muslim Experience in Minnesota"" art gallery exhibit. Do differently? Possibly rent an ATM for our guests to have easier accessibility to cash. Perhaps close 126th Street as space to position sponsors/food vendors; thus opens space in the park for families to gather/picnic. Also need more roving volunteers to supply water on activities hill, sell raffle tickets, alert guests to the first aid tent, and promote cultural booths/gallery exhibit within Ames Center. Marketing efforts to piggyback other community events prior to International Festival of Burnsville. On Family Arts and Activities hill, consider more activities geared to the interests of teenagers. Position rolling coolers in major volunteer areas for more easily available bottled waters; purchase rubber gloves for the Lions' Club volunteers as they handle bottled waters. Also witnessed many more wheelchairs, walkers, and canes than in recent years; delighted to see a girl use her chair to wade into the water feature, and with her grandparent's help, enjoy water play with the other kiddos.

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

The average attendance will be evaluated by counting the number of tickets collected at each concert. We will solicit post-performance feedback from the participating artists to ascertain their level of satisfaction and willingness to perform with Joya in the future.","We believe that we did achieve our artistic goals. We presented the Anoka audience with a wide range of chamber music performed by some of the region's best musicians. The amount of rehearsal was sufficient to allow the performers to do their best. Post-performance discussions with the artists indicate that all were pleased and would be happy to perform on a Joya concert in the future. What worked particularly well was the balance in the musical selections. The audience and performers were challenged and energized by the more modern selections but also greatly enjoyed the more traditional classical works. We are proud of our dedication to high level artistry and all of the performers were equally dedicated. The ability to retain top notch talent is certainly one of the strengths of our process. Another strength is our planning, particularly regarding rehearsals. Months in advance we gathered all of the performers schedules/conflicts and worked out a rehearsal schedule that worked for all. Our biggest challenges are related more to logistics and publicity. In particular, it is challenging to promote the concerts adequately and a failure to do so could result in a smaller than desired audience. Despite these challenges we did manage to average 250 audience members at each concert which exceeded our goal of 200. We did reach our intended community. Our audience members were mostly from the Anoka area but there were audience members from all over the Twin Cities area. We were also able to serve the artists by presenting them the opportunity to perform chamber music in a visually and acoustically beautiful venue before a most appreciative audience. We did achieve most of our goals regarding diversity. The performer's ranged in age from 30 to 63. The performers were also diverse as regards their background/professional situation: ranging from an independent freelance violist to the Music Director of the Minnesota Orchestra. The concert with Maestro Vänskä and Concertmaster Keefe, likely due to their ""celebrity"" factor, was successful in attracting many audience members that would not otherwise attend a chamber music concert. That same concert was also successful in attracting more students than any previous Joya concert. Attracting more students remains one of our goals and we hope that to find ways to increase the attendance of students/young people at future Joya concerts. We are grateful to the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and its grant proposal process for highlighting accessibility concerns that we might not have otherwise considered. The writing of the grant put accessibility at the forefront of our minds. This directly led to us allowing audiences members with disabilities to seat early so that they would not be at a disadvantage in selecting a seat and would not have to ""race the crowd."" One (elderly) couple commented too us, ""We just can't travel downtown anymore. If it weren't for Joya, we would not get to hear such wonderful live music."" Other accessibility concerns were accommodated as described in our narrative. The venue, Zion Lutheran Church, provides a highly accessible space including parking, elevators, and wheel chair seating. We continued our tradition of having one of the performers verbally describe each piece. This is done partially to educate the audience but also to allow those who cannot read the program to still know the selections being performed. We would like to find ways to attract more students. We did offer free admission to students and plan to continue to do so in the future. We had a goal of 200 people per concert and averaged 250. 500 people attended the two concerts that were performed by 7 different artists. We received feedback from audience members that included comment such as: Joya performances are the very best concerts one can attend in the Twin Cities, and I don't just mean chamber music concerts""; ""The Joya concerts are a highlight of our lives.""",,5050,"Other, local or private",9250,,"DeeAnn Cameron, Mary Jo Gothmann, Diane Hewitt, Bruce Messer, Michelle Messer",0.00,"JOYA!

Organizational effectiveness gauged by Advisory Board survey.","Goals were set and measured throughout the ’15-’16 concert season. (1) Goal: High quality Buffalo Community Orchestra performance for audiences (a) Survey data from audience, board and musician questionnaires were collected, analyzed, interpreted, and put to use in program planning in the subsequent season. The general goal of 80% approval for concert quality was met. (b) A survey of the May 2016 audience produced 56 responses, 100% of whom gave Buffalo Community Orchestra’s performance level and concert facilities a satisfaction rating. (The questionnaire was structured only with a nominal yes/no rather than ordinal response format). Concert-goers who took the survey were almost unanimous in approving the length of Buffalo Community Orchestra concerts this season. (c) During the same month at a rehearsal toward the end of the season Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians surveyed (n=40) indicated a 4.2 level of satisfaction for all 2015-16 concerts, with 4.5 expressed for the October concert. (2) Goal: High attendance by musicians at weekly rehearsals, (a) It was hoped that attendance of musicians at weekly rehearsals will improve above 85% as a season average. For certain sections of the orchestra that attendance was below 85%, in part because specific brass and wind instruments had less music to play week after week. (b) String attendance figures reflected higher levels but data did not separate those musicians from the total. The bass section was awarded dinner prizes for perfect attendance, compliments of The Tavern at Wild Marsh Golf Club. (3) Goal: New visibility for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the community, including public venues with Buffalo Community Orchestra ensembles and speakers, as evidenced by: (a) The major addition of an additional summer concert in a new geographic area: Winsted, (b) Buffalo Community Orchestra and guests winter bowling afternoon at local bowling alley, (c) String quartet of Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians performed in Annandale Minnesota for Community Health Foundation fund-raising dinner. Outreach performances by Trillium quartet, consisting of Buffalo Community Orchestra string players, occurred in 6 locales. (d) Inclusion of new music groups and soloists in Buffalo Community Orchestra performances. Examples: youth Bravo string quartet performing at May ’16 prior to concert student Buffalo Community Orchestra member and harp soloist Katherine Strand performing at Buffalo Community Orchestra concert during reception time. (e) artistic partnering for poster design and online display with Wayne Hein, professional artist and Buffalo Art Guild organizer, editor of ""Palette Notes."" (4) Goal: Increased frequency of activity as a measure of Buffalo Community Orchestra's visibility on social media (a) An entirely new website was developed for Buffalo Community Orchestra in the summer of 2016, so results for attracting viewers can be measured for the 2016-17 season. (b) Numerous photos were posted on Facebook during the season, with 216 likes; and 322 visitors to the Buffalo Community Orchestra website. In February of 2016 there were 3,283 followers of Concertmaster Lindsey Bordner. A high of 980,341 accompanied the visuals offered to promote the March 2016 concert. (5) Organizational effectiveness as judged by Buffalo Community Orchestra's Advisory Council (a) A representative of the Advisory Council members attended Buffalo Community Orchestra’s spring annual meeting. Comments forwarded by her to the orchestra’s members were entirely positive, with emphasis on strong organization and tailoring concerts to the preferences of the audience. It was recommended that the holiday concert be kept carefully within a 90-minute duration, which the board discussed as guidance in summer concert planning. (b) Further direct feedback was given by Council members attending a fall pub gathering. The issue of possible ticket price increases was informally raised in conversations with individual Advisory Board members during the summer of 2016; there was little support at that time for price increases.",,34812,"Other, local or private",39387,4575,"Jeff Burns, Laura Keller, Renee Goerdt, Julie Rathmanner, Pepper Clemmensen, Gretchen Katzenberger, Evan Keller, Kendell Kubasch, Veronica Lilly, Mary Ellen Lundsten, Michael Walsh, Kari Hartman",0.00,"Buffalo Community Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"Buffalo Community Orchestra is a concert-producing non-profit organization in Central Minnesota.",2015-09-01,2016-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jeffrey,Burns,"Buffalo Community Orchestra AKA BCO","PO Box 707",Buffalo,MN,55313,"(612) 803-7198 ",burns@cmab.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Wright, Sherburne, Hennepin, McLeod, Ramsey, Carver",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-61,"Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser, Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: Minnesota visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, serves on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, has served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, Member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, printer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.","Janice Courtney: Arts Adviser/Assistant Director of the St Cloud State University Program Board, arts advocate; Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC, has served on a number of non-profit boards; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author, served on a number of Boards of Directors; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of St Benedict/St John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: watercolorist, member of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; Ken Barry: blues musician, Victorian photographer, Nuclear Engineer; Mark Nelson: public school music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, voice lessons instructor, American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota Board Member; Justin Lewandowski: music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor, volunteer for a number of organizations.",,2 35562,"Community Arts Support",2016,8807,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","We will have contracted with and compensated our part time Administrator for another year.

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. Whether it is the free admission, daytime performance, or a shorter program that draws those audiences, we know many people young and old would not otherwise be able to attend our concerts.",,108614,"Other, local or private",118614,10000,"Patricia Bola±os-Fabres, Molly Ewing, Judy Heeter, Robert Lavenda, Mary Lou Lenz, Maureen McCarter, Carol Mossey, Michael Zellgert",0.00,"Chamber Music Society of Saint Cloud","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Community Arts Support",,"Chamber Music Society of St Cloud - presenting a series of concerts and outreach by renowned guest ensembles.",2015-09-01,2016-08-31,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Rebecca,Scheele,"Chamber Music Society of Saint Cloud","PO Box 205","St Cloud",MN,56302-0205,"(320) 292-4645 ",rebecca@chambermusicstcloud.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Beltrami, Benton, Crow Wing, Hennepin, Isanti, Kandiyohi, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/community-arts-support-63,"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.","Central Minnesota Arts Board, Leslie LeCuyer (320) 968-4290 ",1 35579,"Community Arts Support",2016,2787,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","To continue to offer regular concerts, to book a mix of local/regional and (relatively) high-guarantee touring artists, and to offer modest guarantees-against-sales to At the Door artists.

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

Concert attendance, ticket sales, new staff hours evaluated and compared by Executive Director; Directors assess contact time with singers; Youth Chorale of central Minnesota singers surveyed on program offerings and satisfaction; new auditions counted after spring Chamber Singers runout.","By adding office support staff this past season, and being able to delegate a variety of day-to-day tasks, the Executive Director of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to spend an additional 3-4 hours per week dedicated to the promotion of the organization. As a result from her efforts, concert attendance and awareness of the choirs increased by 12% per concert in comparison to prior years without office support staff. Having a third music intern gave the artistic staff more contact time with singers during regular rehearsal evenings. This intern was able to take rehearsal notes and upload to a weekly website for singers, run additional voice sectionals, and take care of administrative and logistical tasks prior to rehearsal (such as singer check-in, setting up the various spaces for rehearsal, etc.), thus allowing the Directors to spend an additional 30 minutes on the teaching of the music so that singers were fully prepared for future concerts and appearances. Seventy-nine singers and their parents in the Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota organization were surveyed to see how they were connecting with Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and each other. The purpose of the Singer Survey was to find out if they were motivated, engaged, felt as if they had a sense of belonging in the choir, as well as a sense of purpose. Parents were asked on their survey to respond to a series of questions based on their own experiences of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, as well as their opinion of their child’s experiences. Through qualitative and quantitative measures, Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their enjoyment of the program at a 4.4 out of five (88%); Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Singers rated their own personal preparation for concerts with a ranking of 4.2 out of five (84%); Singers’ parents rated Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota performances as 4.9 out of a scale of five (98%); and Singers’ parents felt that Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota is a positive impact on youth rating the organization a 3.7 out of four (93%). As a result of these findings, we were able to evaluate and change future programs and offerings for the 16-17 season to better serve our singers and choir families. The Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota Chamber Singers traveled on a one day run-out in the spring of 2016 to five (5) Central Minnesota high schools as a way of spreading the word about Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota and promoting our upcoming spring auditions. We estimate over 260 total singers saw our Chamber Singers perform over the course of the day. As a result of our efforts, thirty (30) new singers signed up to audition for a spot in our choir (via survey). In addition, while we retained a good portion of our singers from the previous season, 40 new singers auditioned to become a member of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota in comparison to our 2014-15 season. We believe the higher numbers were due in part to social media marketing, word of mouth, and our run-out to the area schools. Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota was able to position itself at an artistic level of excellence to achieve an invitation to perform at the American Choral Directors Association’s National Convention in Minneapolis during the 2016-17 season. 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 35619,"Community Arts Support",2016,10000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Youth Theatre Workshop/North Star will present four theatrical productions, seven academy classes, and mentor nine Conservatory students in Central Minnesota during 2016-17. 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 32521,"Community Arts Access Project",2016,5000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Specifically, Verse Like Water seeks to organize, promote, and host a first class literary event with a world-class poet for the people of central Minnesota.

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 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.

To date, surveys for nearly all counties in the state have been completed. Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural productivity and soil management to building construction. This appropriation will complete the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project, Completion of Statewide Digital Soil Survey, is the last in a series of projects to map and digitize all Minnesota soils. The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) has supported the completion of a statewide soil survey since 1997. ENRTF's contribution of $3.5 million over 17 years leveraged $13.2 million from project partners including cooperating counties, the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and the University of Minnesota. Soil surveys contain information essential to the management of natural resources. Soil surveys provide a field-based scientific inventory of soil resources, including soil maps, data about the physical and chemical properties of soils, and information on the potentials and limitations of each soil. Farmers, landowners, builders, county assessors, and natural resource managers depend on soil survey information to conduct business and protect natural resources. This project extended soil maps and data to millions of acres previously lacking comprehensive soil surveys. It is ideal to have 'seamless' soil data coverage regardless of land ownership (county, state, federal, or private). However, gaps exist in soil survey coverage due to these land ownership issues. This project focused on addressing portions of Minnesota with missing digital soils information; e.g., the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Superior National Forest, and Crow Wing County. At the end of the final mapping phase (NRCS contributions extend to 2016) Pine County and the Grand Portage Reservation will be the only unmapped areas in Minnesota. NRCS intends to map Pine County in the future, funded entirely by the NRCS. The mapping goal for the ENTRF funds was 400,000 acres. NRCS mapped over 2 million acres using ENTRF dollars and Federal funds. This included 207,546 acres in Crow Wing County; 470,000 in Lake and Cook Counties (outside Superior National Forest boundary); 793,725 acres in Lake, Cook, and St. Louis Counties (inside Superior National Forest boundary); and 600,000 in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

To date, surveys for nearly all counties in the state have been completed. Soils data is used by governments, farmers, and other businesses for a number of purposes from protection and restoration of soil, water, wetlands, and habitats to agricultural productivity and soil management to building construction. This appropriation will complete the mapping and digitization of soil surveys for Crow Wing, Koochiching, Lake, Cook, and Saint Louis counties. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS This project, Completion of Statewide Digital Soil Survey, is the last in a series of projects to map and digitize all Minnesota soils. The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) has supported the completion of a statewide soil survey since 1997. ENRTF's contribution of $3.5 million over 17 years leveraged $13.2 million from project partners including cooperating counties, the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and the University of Minnesota. Soil surveys contain information essential to the management of natural resources. Soil surveys provide a field-based scientific inventory of soil resources, including soil maps, data about the physical and chemical properties of soils, and information on the potentials and limitations of each soil. Farmers, landowners, builders, county assessors, and natural resource managers depend on soil survey information to conduct business and protect natural resources. This project extended soil maps and data to millions of acres previously lacking comprehensive soil surveys. It is ideal to have 'seamless' soil data coverage regardless of land ownership (county, state, federal, or private). However, gaps exist in soil survey coverage due to these land ownership issues. This project focused on addressing portions of Minnesota with missing digital soils information; e.g., the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Superior National Forest, and Crow Wing County. At the end of the final mapping phase (NRCS contributions extend to 2016) Pine County and the Grand Portage Reservation will be the only unmapped areas in Minnesota. NRCS intends to map Pine County in the future, funded entirely by the NRCS. The mapping goal for the ENTRF funds was 400,000 acres. NRCS mapped over 2 million acres using ENTRF dollars and Federal funds. This included 207,546 acres in Crow Wing County; 470,000 in Lake and Cook Counties (outside Superior National Forest boundary); 793,725 acres in Lake, Cook, and St. Louis Counties (inside Superior National Forest boundary); and 600,000 in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. All the spatial and tabular data collected during this project will be available on Web Soil Survey: www.websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov.

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

Ultimately, this project will be successful if the management recommendations provided and adopted help stabilize Minnesota’s moose population numbers or at least slow their decline. We will continue to increase Minnesotans awareness of the state’s moose populations, as well as the results of this project, by giving a minimum of three presentations to general audiences each year, providing information about the project on the Minnesota Zoo’s website, and writing at least one article per year in the Zoo’s newsletter. So far in FY12-13, we have conducted 3 presentations on moose conservation to general audiences, with a fourth presentation scheduled in February. Information on the moose conservation project is also available on the Zoo’s website and has been published in the Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums’ Connect Magazine. We will also incorporate this research project into the interpretive graphics at the Minnesota Zoo’s moose exhibit. For prairie butterflies, we have created a captive breeding program, and are developing protocols for rearing and breeding. We will be conducting genetics laboratory work to investigate which existing populations of prairie butterflies might be appropriate for eventual reintroduction of the butterflies in Minnesota. We will conduct and report upon research/field work with our partners that will lead to a better understanding of the distribution and population status of prairie butterflies in western Minnesota and the threats to their long-term survival. We will increase Minnesotans’ awareness of the importance of prairie ecosystems and prairie butterflies by giving a minimum of three presentations to general audiences each year, providing information about the project on the Minnesota Zoo’s website and writing at least one article per year in the Zoo’s newsletter. So far in FY12-13 we have given 16 presentations total, six of which were for general audiences.

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

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

Runoff contributions from drained lands into these drainage systems contribute pollutants and degrade downstream water quality. Public drainage systems are funded by assessing costs to the lands benefitting from the systems. The current framework upon which these assessments are determined is based on maximizing crop production and does not account for overall water resources impacts, so there is no incentive for landowners to implement conservation practices that reduce runoff contributions to the drainage systems. The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources is using this appropriation to develop and test an alternative framework for funding public drainage systems that would reduce costs to landowners if they implement conservation strategies that promote infiltration and reduce runoff. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Agricultural drainage provides an essential service to farmers and producers across the Midwest. However, maintenance and improvements of the drainage system are very costly. Landowners are charged via taxation based on the amount of benefits they receive from the drainage system. Currently in Minnesota benefits are determined by professional ditch viewers. Little guidance is provided to them by the drainage code and the process is highly laborious. Benefits are currently assigned per parcel based on discrete benefit classes. Professional judgment is an inherent component of the assessment. The main focus of this project is to investigate potential methods to improve on the current practices. The project was particularly interested in exploring the usefulness of geographic and hydrologic modeling software to automate the process, to objectively identify benefits, and to incorporate conservation practices in assessments. Instead of using the current Minnesota method of discrete benefit classes, the project proposed a new method called the UM method based on drainage volume for each parcel. The UM method does not use professional judgment to assign benefit classes. The method does, however, require an estimate of the surface and subsurface drainage volume for each parcel. Applying these alternative methodologies prior to manual, in field assessments will likely save time and money in the assessment process. Knowledge of the corresponding reductions in drainage depth volume and fraction of benefits per parcel can be utilized as part of the decision making process of applying conservation drainage practices within a watershed. The product of the project was a report, Conservation Based Approach for Assessing Public Drainage Benefits: Final Project Report. It delineates methodologies used, obstacles overcome, and the basis for recommendations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< At present the information derived from this project will be used for decision making concerning potential future investigation into establishing of viewing practices outlined in the project report.

Runoff contributions from drained lands into these drainage systems contribute pollutants and degrade downstream water quality. Public drainage systems are funded by assessing costs to the lands benefitting from the systems. The current framework upon which these assessments are determined is based on maximizing crop production and does not account for overall water resources impacts, so there is no incentive for landowners to implement conservation practices that reduce runoff contributions to the drainage systems. The Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources is using this appropriation to develop and test an alternative framework for funding public drainage systems that would reduce costs to landowners if they implement conservation strategies that promote infiltration and reduce runoff. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Agricultural drainage provides an essential service to farmers and producers across the Midwest. However, maintenance and improvements of the drainage system are very costly. Landowners are charged via taxation based on the amount of benefits they receive from the drainage system. Currently in Minnesota benefits are determined by professional ditch viewers. Little guidance is provided to them by the drainage code and the process is highly laborious. Benefits are currently assigned per parcel based on discrete benefit classes. Professional judgment is an inherent component of the assessment. The main focus of this project is to investigate potential methods to improve on the current practices. The project was particularly interested in exploring the usefulness of geographic and hydrologic modeling software to automate the process, to objectively identify benefits, and to incorporate conservation practices in assessments. Instead of using the current Minnesota method of discrete benefit classes, the project proposed a new method called the UM method based on drainage volume for each parcel. The UM method does not use professional judgment to assign benefit classes. The method does, however, require an estimate of the surface and subsurface drainage volume for each parcel. Applying these alternative methodologies prior to manual, in field assessments will likely save time and money in the assessment process. Knowledge of the corresponding reductions in drainage depth volume and fraction of benefits per parcel can be utilized as part of the decision making process of applying conservation drainage practices within a watershed. The product of the project was a report, Conservation Based Approach for Assessing Public Drainage Benefits: Final Project Report. It delineates methodologies used, obstacles overcome, and the basis for recommendations. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< At present the information derived from this project will be used for decision making concerning potential future investigation into establishing of viewing practices outlined in the project report.

Observation of pilot programs at both the RHS museum campus, and Richfield Middle School showed that visitors were fully engaged in program activities, and that groups collaborated to problem-solve. Program participants were able to make decisions that moved individual program narratives forward in a logical/understandable way. While the public program proved more illustrative of the programs success in promoting cross-generational participation (given the varied age demographics among public users), both the public and Middle School based programs did engage a visitors representative of diverse communities. Intermediate and long-term results have yet to be achieved, as the project is still largely in the pilot stages. This represents a setback when measured against the original proposal's stated work-plan benchmarks. However, these setbacks were related to several significant and unanticipated changes that deeply affected all operational aspects of the Richfield Historical Society - namely the departure of our Executive Director Jodi Larson, as well as the premature departure of T.J. Malaskee, the contractor hired to lead this program development initiative. The initial success of the ""Minnesota Territory: 1851"" program as an education outreach initiative has poised RHS for success in achieving the long-range goals associated with this program initiative. Based on the success of in-school pilot programs in 2013, Richfield Middle School has already requested that RHS return in the fall of 2014 to offer the program again. This is a huge success for RHS, as the society has been struggling to develop school-aged programming that attracts local teachers and their students.",,,,,1120,,"Bill Walker, David Larson, Reed Bornholdt, John Bjostad, John Lindley, David Butler, David Melcher, Buzz Petersen, Todd Chase, Steven Larson, Ruthann Clay",,"Richfield Historical Society","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To increase accessibility to Richfield history for K-12 audiences.",,,2013-01-01,2014-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Jodi,Larson,"Richfield Historical Society","6901 Lyndale Avenue S",Richfield,MN,55423,612-798-6140,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/creation-and-implementation-family-programming-richfield-historical-society,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

It is also one of its most threatened. In order to preserve this important component of Minnesota’s natural heritage, the Minnesota Land Trust implemented Phase 2 of its Critical Shoreland Habitat Protection Program to protect important lakeshore and stream-side habitat. This project built on the success of Phase 1 of this program and helped fulfill the goals of the DNR’s Aquatic Management Area program, the State Conservation and Preservation Plan, and many other state priorities. In this second phase of the program, the Minnesota Land Trust concentrated its activity on important aquatic resources and associated forest habitat within northeast Minnesota, including DNR-designated high priority trout streams along the North Shore, sensitive shoreline along the deep-water border lakes and other high-quality aquatic habitats in the region. The Land Trust protected more than five miles of threatened shoreline habitat by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners that permanently protected a rich mosaic of naturally vegetated shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands on approximately 911 acres. The program targeted projects that help fill gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust accepted three fully donated easements, negotiated bargain sale purchases for three easements and purchased one easement at the full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $948,500, all in excess of what was proposed. This value was substantiated in 5 easements through appraisal; in the remaining two (full value donations) where we don not have appraisals, an estimate of value (62% of assessed land value) was attained through a comparison of appraised fee value to easement value, and adjusted to account for deviation between appraised and assessed land value across two years of Land Trust activity. The development and disturbance of the state’s remaining sensitive shoreland habitat continues to be a threat identified in many of the State’s resource protection plans. Investigations conducted by the DNR and others indicate that the shoreland zone—from high ground through the water’s edge and into the shallow submerged areas—is one of the most biologically diverse and important habitat types for a variety of wildlife species, including fish and waterfowl. Because so much shoreline habitat is on private land, it is also one of Minnesota’s most threatened resources due to the intensity of shoreline development and non-compatible management. Fortunately, private landowners in northeast Minnesota have proven to be ready and willing to grant conservation easements on exceptional shoreline habitat, thus providing high-leverage, immediately-tangible protection for these diminishing habitat types. Outreach efforts from this and the previous phase of this program have generated a robust and growing pool of interested landowners seeking assistance in voluntary private land conservation through permanent easements. It is important to note that the Phase 3 of this program received funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to continue to build on the successes of earlier phases and to secure and additional 1,000 acres of natural shoreline, forest habitat and wetlands in northeastern Minnesota.",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Ave W, Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"St. Louis, Lake, Carlton","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-habitat-protection-program-phase-2,,,, 35047,"Critical Shoreland Protection Program - Phase III",2016,1690000,"ML 2015, First Sp.

The program targeted projects that would help complete gaps in existing public ownership, contain the highest-quality habitat, and provide the greatest leverage to the state.  The Land Trust sought donated easements in these areas whenever possible but also purchased easements to complete key complexes. Key outcomes from this project included: 1) healthy populations of trout and other fish species, waterfowl, and other species in greatest conservation need; 2) maintaining water quality of aquatic resources; 3) increased participation of private landowners in habitat projects; and 4) enhancement of prior state and local investments made in shoreland and forest conservation in the region.  Through this grant, the Land Trust protected 39,415 feet (7.46 miles) of critical shoreland habitat, exceeding the primary protection deliverable by 299%. We fell short on our target acres, achieving 64% of our secondary protection goal. In addition, the Land Trust exceeded its leverage goals by 131%, realizing $2,100,500 in landowner donations of easement value. Seven conservation easements were procured through this grant, as described in brief below and in larger context as uploaded project sheets: 1. Ann Lake (Killeen) - The 132-acre project protects nearly 1 mile of shoreland on Ann and Link lakes, and wetlands and mesic hardwood forests on rolling terrain between them. The property extends to the floodplain of the West Fork of the Prairie River, and borders George Washington State Forest on two sides. 2. Burntside Lake (YMCA 1) - This scenic property is located on the North Arm of Burntside Lake.  Burntside Lake is a gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and the area contains much of the same rugged character and scenery of that iconic wilderness.  This densely-forested property rises over 100-feet from the shoreline of Burntside Lake to a high ridgeline overlooking the lake. The property forms an important linkage with Burntside State Forest to the east and an additional Minnesota Land Trust conservation easement to the north.   3. Burntstde Lake (YMCA 2) - This unique project protects three forested islands in the North Arm of Burntside Lake near Ely.  Islands in Burntside Lake face significant development pressure from lakeside cabins that can impact scenery and negatively affect water quality. 4. King Lake (Guckenberg) - King Lake contains extensive stands of wild rice, one of Minnesota’s most important cultural and economic native plant species.  This conservation easement protects over 1.5 miles of shoreland on Kookoosh Lake and perennial streams that are tributary to it, in addition to the adjacent rice stands. The easement protects bogs, mesic forests, and wet meadows. Several parcels of state-owned property managed by St. Louis County as well as a public stream access easement associated with Spring Creek Aquatic Management Area are adjacent to the property.  5. Lake Superior (Johannson) - Lake Superior’s North Shore is one of Minnesota’s most iconic cultural and ecological resources, but also one of its most vulnerable. This property protects over 2,300 feet of craggy Lake Superior shoreline approximately two and a half miles south of the City of Two Harbors.  The property is located within a site of high biodiversity significance and the South-Central North Shore Important Bird Area.  6. Snake River (Giles) - Situated on a bend of the Snake River in northeastern Kanabec County, this 66-acre property protects scenic hardwood forests and over 2,000 feet of undeveloped shoreline along the Snake River. The river is popular with recreationists and is notable for its remote and wild character, and its diverse freshwater mussel and fish populations.  This property provides outstanding habitat connectivity, bordering the Snake River State Forest to its north.  These state forest lands form the core of a larger area of protected private and public lands along the Snake River that now totals close to 10,000 acres.  7. Tucker Lake (Johannson) - This spectacular property protects a scenic lake adjacent to the iconic Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Cook County.  Located on the south edge of Tucker Lake, the property features over 2 miles of rugged shoreline characterized by craggy cliffs and bedrock outcrops.  Boreal forest and low-lying wetlands cover much of the property, which is located within a site of high biodiversity significance.  ",2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Wayne,Ostlie,"Minnesota Land Trust","2356 University Avenue West Suite 240","St. Paul",MN,55114,651-917-6292,wostlie@mnland.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/critical-shoreland-protection-program-phase-iii-1,,,, 19008,"St. Croix River Community Low Impact Development ",2013,35000,"111 006 02 07G 000","Laws of Minnesota 2011, 1st Special Session, Chapter 6, Section 7, and Laws of Minnesota 2012, Chapter 264, Section 7 ","Two Community Partners Grant Projects ",,,14100,"The source of additional funds varies from project to project, but generally consists of federal, local and non-public sources.

The district is proposing a $50 incentive payment for each acre and each year of CRP buffer enrolled in the targeted priority subwatersheds. The payment would act as an upfront incentive. This is a surgical strategy that targets the 20% of the Total Maximum Daily Load basin identified as the heaviest sediment loading to Turtle Creek and the Cedar River.

Indigenous language revitalization now requires heroic measures in order for these languages to not only survive, but to thrive and to live on for future generations","With this grant award, Dakota Wicohan will strengthen the Minnesota community’s capacity to reclaim and revitalize the Dakota language by nurturing the language skills of 15 Dakota language leaders.

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

As a result of this Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) grant, Dakota County focused on five conservation easements that protected 84 acres of wooded and grassland riparian areas, 26 acres of which surrounds ponds, wetlands and small lakes in the City of Rosemount, 19 acres of which are along Chub Creek in Waterford Township, and 39 acres of which are along the Vermillion River in Empire and Vermillion Townships. Through these easements, over three miles of shoreline was protected, including over 1.5 miles of the Vermillion River, over one mile of which is part of the designated trout stream portion of the river. Approximately $128,200 of landowner donations of easement value helped fund the protection of these areas. Conservation easements are a valuable tool to achieve permanent land protection, while not removing the land areas from the local tax base.Regarding restoration efforts, the County was successful in getting restoration projects at least started and completed on several properties. The County requires not only Natural Resource Management Plans (NRMPs) for each natural area easement, but is now requiring that landowners sign a Management Agreement (MA) that outlines restoration and maintenance activities, who is responsible, and how each activity will be funded, using cost estimates. Getting these agreements in place, while simultaneously executing consultant contracts for some of them proved to be too much; and although all were completed prior to the June 30 funding deadline, much of the proposed restoration work was not completed. That said, the County was able to get significant amounts of restoration work completed by the funding deadline. Restoration work involved enhancement of 235 acres of properties that include almost eight miles of shoreline.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Alan,Singer,"Dakota County","14955 Galaxie Avenue","Apple Valley",MN,55124,"(952) 891-7001",al.singer@co.dakota.mn.us,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Dakota,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dakota-county-riparian-and-lakeshore-protection-and-management-phase-3,,,, 28710,"Dakota History & Culture Curriculum",2014,89441,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,89441,,"Gabrielle Strong; Dallas Goldtooth; Daniel Lemm; Darlene St. Clair; Don Robertson; and Mary Peters",0.51,"Dakota Wicohan","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To research, develop, and pilot a Dakota history and cultural heritage curriculum that meets state social studies standards for grades 6-12.",,,2014-01-01,2015-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Teresa,Peterson,"Dakota Wicohan","PO Box 2",Morton,MN,56270,507-697-6272,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,"Statewide, Redwood, Renville, Yellow Medicine, Dakota, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dakota-history-culture-curriculum,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

The Concordia Language Village’s Dakota language and culture institute society will expand to include youth specific programming to engage and excite young people about learning the Dakota language by offering a language and cultural immersion session for middle and high school youth. This week long pilot session will occur in the summer of 2013. The first objective is to convene five society representatives to attend two days in the Language Villages to observe a full day of programming. Additionally, staff will be meeting for a full day of planning for this summer pilot program. The final project objective is that three Dakota Society members will attend the annual Village Leadership Council meeting in March of 2013. ","Minnesota’s most enduring languages are in danger of disappearing. Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe -- will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves.

Contact grants@mnhs.org","The immediate outcome stated in our project proposal was the creation of a guiding document/collections management plan that would address assessment, categorization, use and accessibility, storage and environmental considerations, cataloguing, and programming opportunities. This target was achieved through the development of a collections management plan for the H/G Archive by Ms. Shaw. The collections management plan and assessment were performed concurrently with a series of inventories, collection evaluations, and rehousing projects by Ms. Shaw. This comprehensive assessment took place between October 2016 and August 2017 and included daily and weekly visits to the Archive for evaluation of the collection and the archival space, as well as meetings with MCBA director, Jeff Rathermel and MCBA staff. Ms. Shaw examined materials in various formats and current storage practices of these materials. This process allowed a deeper understanding of collections strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, positioning MCBA to undertake a formal inventory. This work could not have been achieved without the expertise and commitment of Ms. Shaw. Her role ensured that our proposed targets were achieved and exceeded. Ms. Shaw provided additional oversight to a team of interns from St. Catherine University's student chapter of the Society of American Archivists. This team contributed over 85 volunteer hours of support to the H/G Archive. While MCBA is not quite ready to formally offer a graduate-level internship through St. Kate's, relationships have been forged with faculty members and steps are in place to work with an Advanced Cataloging course through the university this fall 2017. MCBA seeks to cultivate this partnership so that library science students may supplement their classroom learning experience and gain hands-on professional experience in a unique library and archive setting.

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

Additionally we have provided digital access to the materials allowing patrons to access the collection without physically visiting Concordia Special Collections; any access of this collection meets our target. With the launch of the collection we tracked 16 views of the collection in August, 3 views in September, and 4 views in October. Intermediate to long-term: We have yet to do much promotion of the collection, but we plan to write a news piece for our blog which will be posted to various social media outlets. Metadata for the collection was recently harvested for DPLA with the hope that this will also increase traffic to the collection. Our library has been contacted by a group working on a 10-part documentary series, ""The Home Front,"" about the potential possibility of using some of these interviews--which is great publicity for the collection.

The SRWD is currently developing a systemic approach to address all of the public drainage ditches on a schedule, creating better maintenance and repair schedules. As part of this systematic approach, the SRWD has a need for a standardized information management system for drainage activities.

Using the database, the SRWD will be able to schedule required drainage buffer inspections, track violations and determine follow-up procedures in a timely manner. The database will also be used to track and target areas which violate drainage law and update staff on current proceedings regarding those violations.

Four fish passage projects opened up access to 180 miles of river and 13,521 acres of lake and wetland habitat. We enhanced habitat on 39 Aquatic Management Areas, totalling 1440 acres, through the efforts of four positions funded by this appropriation. It also funded two stream habitat positions that oversaw the completion of 23 DNR projects and over 50 partner-lead projects funded by various OHF sources. ",,"Stream projects were chosen based on the DNR's Stream Habitat Priority List, where projects are ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded nine stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are listed below. - Solid Bottom Creek: This project addressed a steep, eroding stream bank along 500 feet of a designated trout stream.  The stream bank was a primary source of sedimentation within the stream, and likely contributed to a delta that is forming at the outlet of the stream in Elbow Lake.  Construction was completed in the spring of 2016, relocating the stream away from the tall eroding bank, stabilizing the toe of that bank by installing toe-wood structures, and enhancing pool habitat for trout that are stocked into the stream. - Whisky Creek: OHF funding from DNR was combined with a CPL grant to the City of Barnesville to fund the project.  Bids for the work came in under projected costs, which allowed the City to also remove another dam within city limits on Whisky Creek that was underneath a railroad bridge.  Work has been completed in 2015 on the modification of the dam at Blue Eagle Lake and the removal of the dam underneath the railroad bridge. This project restored fish passage to 31 miles of upstream habitat. -Minnesota River at Granite Falls: Construction of a riffle in the Minnesota River at Granite Falls was completed in December 2017. The project modified the remnants of an old dam made of rock into a riffle, enhancing spawning habitat that will be used by numerous fish species including lake sturgeon, walleye, and sauger. -Red Sand Lake outlet: The outlet structure on Red Sand Lake was modified to allow fish passage, with construction completed in June of 2018. The former drop structure within a culvert was replaced by a larger culvert with an arch-rapids upstream and downstream, and with natural substrate within the culvert. Fish passage between White Sand Lake, which lies downstream, Red Sand Lake, and wetlands in between will benefit Red Sand Lake, especially in the occasional year that it experiences a partial fish-kill due to low oxygen conditions. -South Branch Root River: This project was funded by the ML2013 and ML2014 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriation. A 450 foot reach of the river was experiencing severe erosion, with the streambank losing over 10 feet per year. A riffle was constructed at the upstream end of the reach to direct flow, and a bankfull bench was constructed along the eroding bank using toe wood to enhance stability and fish habitat. The bench was vegetated with a native seed mix and willow live stakes. Construction was completed in August of 2018, with ML2013 funds only used for work completed prior to July 1, 2018. -Turtle River: DNR partnered with the US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Beltrami County to replaced an undersized culvert that blocked fish passage. The project opened up 13,000 acres of lake and wetland habitat and 30 miles of river that was formerly inaccessible to fish downstream of the project. -Mississippi River at Weaver Bottoms: Former deepwater habitat in Goose Lake, a former floodplain lake on the Mississippi River had been filled with silt over several decades. This project dredged 9 acres back into deepwater habitat, and was completed in the fall of 2017. Dredge spoils from project excavation were stockpiled on land for drying and eventual spreading and revegetation on private land. The deepwater habitat is becoming rare on the river due to sedimentation, and is critical for over-wintering habitat for bluegill, crappies, and other fish species. This project was split between the ML2012 and ML2013 DNR Aquatic Habitat appropriations, and accomplished acres split proportional to the total cost contributed by each. -Middle Fork Zumbro River/Lake Shady: This appropriation funded a portion (along with the DNR's ML2013 Aquatic Habitat) of the restoration of the Middle Fork of the Zumbro River through a former impoundment known as Lake Shady. The dam had washed out in a 2011 flood, leaving behind an eroding mud flat that threatened to harm downstream reaches as it eroded, and contained poor habitat in the channels that had cut through the mud. The former dam site's grade was stabilized by creating a rapids of stable rock material, and within the former reservoir new stream channels with appropriate dimensions were constructed. Habitat in the new channels was restored to include woody material as well as rocky riffles. Re-vegetation of the surrounding reservoir sediments with native plant species will provide quality riparian and upland habitat as well. The project was completed in partnership with Olmsted County ($125,736), the city of Oronco ($83,824) and DNR Dam Safety bonding funds ($1,000,000) all contributing funding. An additional $236,540 of in-kind staff time was contributed by Olmsted County.  In addition to the 147 acres of habitat restored, the project opened up access to 119 miles of stream. Accomplished acres are split between the two OHF appropriations proportional to funds contributed. -Middle Branch Whitewater River: Construction began on this project in September of 2016. At that time, the new channel and floodplain were shaped prior to the end of the construction season. However, this project has run into issues with design that have prevented its completion to date. An outside consultant has been hired by DNR to provide a final design, with a new construction period in the summer of 2019 to complete the project. DNR received approval for an amendment that added this project to our ML2015 Aquatic Habitat appropriation, which will be used to pay for the remaining design and construction of this project. -Aquatic Management Area enhancement: Enhancement work on 39 different AMAs such as prescribed burns, riparian plantings, and invasive species control were done on 1440 acres of habitat. Locations were in all four LSOHC planning regions. This work was made possible by the four AMA habitat positions funded by this appropriation. AMA staff assessed habitat needs at 106 AMAs, and developed management guidance that identifies enhancement needs for those parcels. In addition to the 39 projects done using this appropriation, AMA staff were involved with 106 other Outdoor Heritage-funded AMA enhancement projects, and provided guidance for 23 similar projects being lead by external partners who were using OHF money. -Stream Habitat Specialist positions: Two specialists were hired to coordinate statewide stream habitat worked that was funded by OHF.

The prescribed burn on Benderberg WMA triggered an excellent response in the native wet prairie remnant.  It was largely an after-thought at this was former pasture, but the presence of fire really benefitted the native plant community.  There was even some hand- harvest opportunity for species like wood lily.  Without the roving crew and the MarshTracker, an Rx burn on this site would not have been possible.  This was the first time much of this ground had seen a fire in over 4 decades.  The plan is to periodically maintain this WMA with fire going forward and to maintain/enhance the wet prairie community that so wonderfully responded to it the first time around. These funds were used to complete more than 50 acres of woody control projects on the Lake Bronson and Two Rivers Aspen Parkland Scientific and Natural Areas.  These projects were part of an ongoing multi-year strategy to combat the encroachment of woody vegetation into high quality native prairies.  In addition to setting back encroaching willows and aspen, the Lake Bronson SNA project appeared to have positive impacts on the sites population of western prairie fringed orchids (a Federally threatened species) as the second highest number of orchids ever recorded on the site were counted the spring following the project.   One untold stories is the cooperation between conservation agencies and NGOs in Minnesota.  In some states, feds don’t like the state, and the NGOs fight among themselves.  In Minnesota, we all get along really well.  This is evidenced in partnership efforts that developed the Prairie Plan and Pheasant Plan.  One early fear with OHF is that this would cause these groups to start bickering over the resource.  In fact, the exact opposite has happened.  It has pulled us together and increased cooperation.  One example of that is our collective seed harvest and grassland restoration efforts.  In at least two areas, most notably Detroit Lakes and the Glacial Lakes area, multiple agencies/NGOs are coordinating their seed harvest and restoration efforts.    Partners are looking 1 to 3 years ahead on restoration efforts.  Seed production is best on burned sites.  Partners are determining what units and what soil types they want to restore each year.  Then they find native tracts or high diversity restorations with similar soil types.  These sites are prioritized for burning in the spring.   Once the site is burned, partners again work together to harvest and store the seed in the fall.  The seed is then distributed to the DNR, USFWS, TNC or other partners.  The seed is spread on the sites in the late winter or early spring.  In some cases, agency/NGO staff are harvesting the seed.  In other cases, they work with local contractors to harvest the seed.   Harvesting local seed is both cost-effective and when harvesting native tracts ensures we, collectively, are using a diverse mix of local ecotype seed.   Again, the OHF has helped developed new partnerships and projects that would not have happened or that would have happened at a much smaller scale with these critical funds.   Because this is a programmatic appropriation, it’s difficult to assign a dollar amount to a specific project.  Because of this and the large number of projects, we simply assigned dollars to projects proportional to acres completed in that project.  In the same way, we proportionally assigned dollars to personnel based on FTEs.     ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Greg,Hoch,"MN DNR","500 Lafayette Road ","St Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5230,greg.hoch@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Goodhue, Grant, Houston, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Nobles, Norman, Otter Tail, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Roseau, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wabasha, Winona, Yellow Medicine","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/dnr-grassland-phase-5,,,, 9818,"DNR Aquatic Habitat Program, Phase 4",2013,3480000,"ML 2012, Ch. 264, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(a)","$3,480,000 in the second year is to the commissioner of natural resources to acquire interests in land in fee or permanent conservation easements for aquatic management areas under Minnesota Statutes, sections 86A.05, subdivision 14, and 97C.02, and to restore and enhance aquatic habitat.

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

","   ","Stream projects were prioritized based on the DNR's Stream habitat Priority List, where projects were ranked based on a number of criteria surrounding support and outcomes. This appropriation funded five stream projects, several of which involved external partners. Individual project details are outlined below. Stewart River Restoration: The Stewart River channel restoration project used Natural Channel Design to restore 4,500 of premier trout stream in Northeastern Minnesota. Historic logging and a berm located in the floodplain had significantly impacted the stream. The project was designed and implemented to create trout habitat including deep pools, overhead cover and abundant spawning gravels. The project also removed the confines of the berm and reconnected the stream with the floodplain. A 100 year flood affected the project just a few years after implementation. Some damage was caused, but the objectives of the projects were still met once repairs were made in 2019 using DNR FAW funding. Mission Creek Restoration: DNR partnered with South St. Louis SWCD to compete this project on Mission Creek. The Mission Creek channel restoration project restored 3150 feet of stream near Duluth, Minnesota. This stream was historically altered and had an in-stream trash rack which affected fish passage and the stability of the stream. The 2012 flood caused the stream to blowout around the trash rack resulting in a highly aggraded and unstable stream. The trash rack was removed and the dimension, pattern and profile of the stream was restored. Additionally, 8.4 miles of the stream was reconnected with the removal of the trash rack. During design, a historic native burial site was discovered just downstream of the project site. This slowed down design as we needed to sort through the risks to artifacts and find a tribal inspector to be onsite during construction. In the end we were able to do the project with oversight from the tribe. No artifacts were discovered during construction. Construction finished in June of 2020. North Branch of Whitewater River Restoration: This channel restoration project took place within Whitewater State Park in a location that previously had riprap installed on the bank for stabilization. This riprap failed at least two times so a stream restoration was implemented to better address the issues causing the bank erosion. The project utilized toe-wood sodmat to protect the bank and reshaped the channel dimension, pattern and profile based on a nearby stable reference reach. During construction it was found that the bed and bank material were particularly difficult for toe-wood sodmat installation. A unique technique using a trenching bucket was employed to get the toe-wood sod mat installed correctly. Another impact of the bed and bank materials was that it was difficult to get vegetation established. This project had to have additional work done after the original construction was finished. Due to lack of vegetation, a large flood and being in a flashy watershed, some of the stream features were impacted after the flood. Following the damages, the natural pattern that the river laid out was utilized to improve the overall project. The project was replanted with additional straw protection. Since the adjustments were made, the project has been stable and the vegetation is getting established. Cottonwood River Restoration: DNR partnered with Redwood County to complete this restoration. This project was originally funded to provide fish passage at three dams by modifying the dams to rock arch rapids structures. However during the course of project development, at two of the dam sites, the grantee opted to install riffles along the river corridor to slowly step the river down and to provide more habitat than originally anticipated. Two of the dam sites now have 6-7 riffles and deep pool associated with those riffles. Fish use these pools as is evident by the anglers seen at various riffles. Fish have also been seen passing through the riffles to get upstream. Construction of this project started in February of 2020; that spring construction was put on hold due to high flows and the COVID pandemic. However, as the flows were rising the contractor continued to work. This proved to be an issue when the contractor was unable to finish installing that riffle. As a result, the unfinished structure caused some significant erosion; this lead to additional work at that riffle site for the contractor once flows receded. The COVID- 19 pandemic significantly limited the ability of Department staff to provide construction oversight which would likely have avoided the contractor working in rising flows. Construction of the projects were finished in fall of 2020. Overall the project accomplished the goals of fish passage and has the added benefit of additional habitat along the river corridor. Driftless Area Habitat Enhancement: The DNR's Fisheries Construction crew used this appropriation to purchase rock and equipment rental to enhance 15 acres of stream habitat in the Driftless Area of Minnesota. Shoreline protection accomplished with this appropriation consisted of two fee-title acquisitions, nine trout stream easement acquisitions, and three Forest for the Future conservation easements. The two fee-title acquisitions protected 52 acres and 4,825 feet of undeveloped shoreline . All nine trout stream easement acquisitions were in the SE Forest Ecological Section. Two easement acquisitions were initiated in the Northern Forest Section, but neither was successfully concluded. The nine trout stream easements protect a total of 132 acres and 31,150 feet of stream. The Forest for the Future project prioritized protecting forests in high priority cisco lake watersheds. With this project, one 32 acre easement was purchased in the Kabekona watershed (Hubbard County), 122 acres in the Ten Mile lake watershed (Cass County), and 193 acres in the Pelican watershed in Crow Wing County. Two large easement acquisitions were not completed when the landowners chose not to accept the DNR offer. These acquisitions were scheduled to be completed close to the end of the appropriation availability and we did not have enough time to move on to other parcels. Therefore, we did not meet goals for easement acquisition and funds were returned to the Council.

Put in another fashion, we restored and enhanced 69.5 square miles with these funds. That's an area 8.3 by 8.3 miles in area. 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 accomodates different life history stages of wildlife.","A total of 44,506 acres were affected: 2,081 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 0 in Easements, 42,425 in Enhance.",,,3762900,172000,,7.11,DNR,"State Government","We restored 2,081 acres of grassland and enhanced 42,425 acres of grassland for a total of 44,506 acres of wildlife habitat across 329 sites with these funds.","We select projects using a number of criteria and reviews to make sure the DNR was spending these funds in the best and most productive ways.

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 44,506 acres appears to be a large number, we feel the actual acres benefitted may be much larger. 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, up to a half mile from the project, where nest success should now be higher. We installed grazing infrastructure on one site and used goats to browse undesirable and invasive woody plants. This will accomplish two goals. FIrst, we will get good habitat work on our public lands. Second, its a way to further develop a working lands approach to land management and incorporate conservation work into the state's agricultural economy. 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 someone 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. 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. 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.

",,"Lake Carlos Dam Modification During the winter and spring of 2021, the Lake Carlos Dam was replaced with a rock arch-shaped rapids to restore upstream fish passage. We expect that migratory species from Lake Carlos and upstream Lake Le Homme Dieu will benefit from improved access to 121 miles of river that could be used for spawning and rearing habitat. Rare mussel species such as creek heelsplitter and black sandshell are found downstream of the outlet, and may also find suitable habitat in tributary streams to Lake Carlos. The rock arch rapids structure is located within Lake Carlos State Park, and will provide an opportunity to educate the public on the importance of lake and stream connectivity. Cottonwood Dam Modifications – Soldier’s and Sailor’s Park, Kuhar and Sanborn Golf Course Dams This project was originally funded to provide fish passage at three dams by modifying the dams to rock arch rapids structures. However during the course of project development, at two of the dam sites, the grantee opted to install riffles along the river corridor to slowly step the river down and to provide more habitat than originally anticipated. Two of the dam sites now have 6-7 riffles and deep pool associated with those riffles. Fish use these pools as is evident by the fishermen seen at various riffles. Fish have also been seen passing through the riffles to get upstream. Construction of this project started in February of 2020; that spring construction was put on hold due to high flows and the COVID pandemic. However, as the flows were rising the contractor continued to work. This proved to be an issue when the contractor was unable to finish installing that riffle. As a result, the unfinished structure caused some significant erosion; this lead to additional work at that riffle site for the contractor once flows receded. For the most part this project was constructed during the COVID pandemic which significantly limited the availability of Department oversight during construction. Additional oversight by the Department would have been beneficial in implementation and would likely have avoided the contractor working in rising flows. Construction of the projects were finished in fall of 2020. Overall the project accomplished the goals of fish passage and has the added benefit of additional habitat along the river corridor. Prairie/Lizzie Dam Modifications The Prairie Lake and Lizzie Lake dam outlets were modified to rock arch rapids to improve fish passage. Construction finished in summer of 2019 and reconnected 2 consecutive dams, which when combined reconnected 20 stream miles. Recently, there has been some momentum in the Otter Tail watershed to improve fish passage. Because of this support, the timeline went really quickly for Lizzie and Prairie and the construction was very efficient. This was due, in part, to local DNR, the consultant and contractors’ experience working on prior dam modifications. The Prairie Dam was unique in that we needed to do the modification on both sides of the road/bridge. Since construction was completed the vegetation has reestablished and fish have been seen using the rapids.P a g e 3 | 10 Hallock Dam Modification Construction on the Hallock dam finished spring of 2021. This project has a unique river setting with the dam immediately upstream of a meander bend and an incised reach of stream. This led to a unique design of modifying the dam by installing two sections of rock arch rapids upstream and downstream of the meander. There were also some riffles downstream of the rapids to partially address the incision and provide additional habitat. Fish passage was achieved at the site by modifying the dam into a rock arch rapids; channel catfish movement has already occurred and a variety of sizes were sampled earlier in the summer. Due to the drought this year, the vegetation has been struggling to get established. The project partner (City of Hallock) has responded by setting up a pump and watering the newly seeded area. Drywood Creek Dam Removal and Channel Restoration The Drywood Creek project removed the dam and restored the stream to a stable dimension, pattern and profile. Toe-wood sod mat was used to protect the banks while vegetation establishes and 2 rock riffles were installed to account for the grade change from the dam. After construction was finished, it was determine that one of the riffles was built too narrow and not according to plan specifications. Construction of this project was consistently up against high flows; which is likely why it wasn’t clear that the riffle didn’t meet specifications. DNR funding was used to adjust the riffle to the correct width. Coolridge Creek Restoration Construction for the Coolridge Creek restoration project was completed in May 2019. The project removed 18 culverts from the stream channel and three additional culverts from side channels. Removing the culverts restored 1,800 feet of stream channel. Shell River Culvert Replacement Three culverts on the Shell River were replaced in fall 2020. The previously undersized culverts were replaced with larger culverts to restore fish passage and improve stream conditions. One culvert replacement was funded through ML 18 and two replacements were funded through ML 16. Stream habitat work for this appropriation and other LSOHC-funded projects from other appropriations was aided by funding for a stream restoration coordinator and interns. Here are some of the highlighted work of these positions using funding from this appropriation: • Project development and public outreach. • Management of project funding. • Analyze and prioritize culverts for replacement – Buffalo River, Cottonwood River and Otter Tail River watersheds. • Annual updates of the Stream Restoration Priority List • Geomorphic monitoring of Buffalo River and Lake Shady • Collected culvert data in Lake Pepin and Chippewa watersheds. • Assisted with geomorphic monitoring of stream restoration projects.

Lands will be acquired and developed within the Prairie Planning Section with an emphasis on Prairie Conservation Plan core and corridor areas, working toward the long-term goal of a minimum 40% grassland and 20% wetland in core prairie areas. Lands outside core and corridor areas will be evaluated on their habitat potential and contribution to existing units.Historically, Outdoor Heritage appropriations for WMA and SNA acquisitions have been matched by donations, Reinvest in Minnesota Critical Habitat Match, and Surcharge (a $6.50 surcharge on small game license sales to be used in part for land acquisition) at approximately 25% (1 dollar of match to 4 dollars of OHF).Wildlife Management Areas. WMAs are established to protect those lands and waters which have a high potential for wildlife production and to develop and manage these lands and waters for public hunting, fishing and trapping, and for other compatible outdoor recreational uses such as wildlife watching and hiking. While highly successful, the current WMA system does not meet all of the present and future needs for wildlife habitat, wildlife populations management, hunter access and wildlife related recreation. This is notably true in the Prairie Ecological planning section where public ownership in some counties is less than 2 percent. DNR Section of Wildlife uses a geospatial analytical (GIS) based tool to identify the highest priority tracts for potential WMA acquisitions. This approach uses a quantitative approach to score and rank acquisition proposals based on a set of weighted criteria and creates a standardized method for evaluating proposed acquisitions on a statewide level. Criteria and weights are periodically reviewed and adapted to changing conditions and priorities. This ensures that funds are used to acquire available lands consistent with the statutory purpose of WMAs. The WMA acquisition program is guided by the 2002 Citizens' Committee report. The committee was comprised of a diverse group of eleven major stakeholder groups.A list of potential acquisition opportunities from willing sellers is coordinated with interested stakeholders and partners to eliminate duplication and identify concerns and support. Coordinating with partners has been successful to ensure we are working cooperatively and on priority parcels.Scientific & Natural Areas. The SNA Program will increase public hunting and fishing opportunities while protecting sites with outstanding natural resource value. Protection will be targeted at high priority areas identified in the SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan with emphasis on prairie core areas identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. A quantitative system is used to score and rank acquisition proposals at a statewide level based on a weighted set of six criteria. Priority is given to sites of high and outstanding biodiversity significance, sites recommended for protection by the Minnesota Biological Survey, high quality native plant communities and habitat for rare species. Parcels which are larger, adjoin other conservation lands, improve habitat management, are under imminent threat and that are partially donated are also rated higher.Properties acquired through this appropriation require approval of the County Board of Commissioners in the county of acquisition, will be designated as WMA or SNA through a Commissioner's Designation Order, brought up to minimum DNR standards, and listed on the DNR website.

The Silvernale site stands out as one of the most significant pre-contact Native American sites in the state. Consisting of a large village and some 500 burial mounds, the site was an important gathering place for many Native American groups throughout the Great Plains area between the 11th and 14th centuries CE. The Science Museum acquired the Silvernale collection in 2001. It had never been properly inventoried, nor had all of the artifacts been washed after they were unearthed. This project remedied this, as well as providing up-to-standard storage for the collection. This portion of the materials excavated from the Silvernale site is especially significant because the area that it comes from has since been built over--these are the only extant artifacts from the northern part of the village. Their proper preservation will allow these artifacts to continue to be used for research, as well as for educational purposes.

Impact: Educate the public and property owners about the importance of preservation, and the appropriate style, methods, and materials related to exterior renovations. Progress Indicator: Increased interest and successful rehabilitation projects. This target was achieved and will continue to be achieved. There has been on rehabilitation project approved and commenced. There have been other inquiries. 2. Impact: Educate the public about the economic and historic benefits of preserving historic buildings especially in groups that create a demand for space and establish a destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, arts, culture, services, and tourism. Progress Indicator: Knowledge about design guidelines and historic districts, and support for designation of a downtown historic district. This target was partially achieved through the HPC's two public meetings. There are plans for (perhaps a series) that will likely be co-sponsored by the HPC and Waseca County Historical Society. These meetings will use the Design Guidelines as an educational tool in conjunction with other educational tools and mechanisms. Content and tools for these meetings have not been developed and may be the subject of a future grant request. 3. Impact: Provide a guide to property owners and tenants in the historic core to use as they pursue exterior facade projects, expansions, renovations, and new construction. Progress Indicator: More historically appropriate facade renovations and projects. Long-Term Demand for space in renovated storefronts and upper level living spaces. Low vacancy rates in downtown buildings. This target has been achieved, and has been used in two site reviews, one on a national register property and the other an infill new construction project (yeah!). The guide will be used over the long-term in this same way. 4. Impact: A healthy, vibrant, renovated historic central business district. Progress Indicator: Downtown Waseca as a major tourism destination.

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

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

Loss of these trees would devastate ecosystems throughout Minnesota and have major economic impacts for the forest products industry as well as through the costs associated with treatment, removal, and replacement of lost trees. Biological control - the use of a natural enemy of a species from its native habitat to help with control of that species - is currently the only promising long-term management strategy for EAB. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is using this appropriation to pilot and assess the effectiveness of a biocontrol method for EAB in Minnesota that involves the use of three types of tiny, stingless wasps that are parasitoids of EAB. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS We made great progress with the biological control for emerald ash borer (EAB) in Phase 1 of this project. We simultaneously released wasps that parasitize EAB while we studied them. EAB can kill ash trees quickly (within 6 years). We have responded rapidly to EAB finds so that we might avoid large numbers of EAB over extensive areas, a situation that would be difficult to manage effectively. At the same time, we studied the parasitoid wasps to understand their cold tolerance and dispersal capability. Our studies improved our implementation strategies. Over 127,000 parasitoid wasps were released at 21 sites in the Twin Cities and southeastern Minnesota. Recovery of immature parasitoids in the field demonstrated that these agents are dispersing then finding and parasitizing EAB. We will continue releases in Phase 2. Research efforts demonstrated that the egg parasitoid, Oobius agrili, is the most cold tolerant and the larval parasitoid, Tetrastichus planipennisi, is the least cold tolerant. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi earlier in the season to allow multiple generations to build a population sufficient to withstand anticipated cold induced mortality losses. We learned that T. planipennisi is capable of dispersing almost 5 miles within 24 hours but that most will fly 3/4 miles in 24 hours. Therefore, we began releasing T. planipennisi over a large area at a release site rather than at a central cluster to enable faster T. planipennisi dispersal. Research efforts trained a total of six graduate students, five undergraduate students, and three technicians in whole or in part on these projects. We will continue a study of ash health, EAB, and parasitoid wasps in the Twin Cities area where EAB was first found in 2009. To date, ash mortality within the study area has been substantially lower than anticipated. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information about this project has been and will continue to be disseminated to the public, land managers and researchers. Media releases (3) and social media were utilized to inform the public of major developments. There were 15 scientific presentations to researchers and land managers. Additional training presentations (24) were given to the public, professional land managers, and tree care professionals at many venues.

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

As we lose habitat to conversion and encroachment, it is increasingly important to maximize wildlife production on existing permanently protected lands. Today's public lands are expected to function at the highest level for not only wildlife usability but now also for other non game rare and threatened species, pollinators, and for water quality efforts in the state. To meet today's expectations, public lands need to be enhanced from their original cover type which could have been planted with different priorities then today's. This program was developed in cooperation with the MNDNR and USFWS with the goals of developing higher quality biologically significant habitat that provide maximum usability by wildlife, pollinators, and non game species alike. PF, in cooperation with the MNDNR and USFWS, was able to contract out and enhance 21,553 acres of permanently protected public lands within this grant, which exceeded the proposed acres by 3,053 acres. PF was able to exceed the acre goal with less money than anticipated, spending only $1,308,000 of the allocated $1,320,000. Additionally PF came in under budget for personnel costs only spending $40,300. Because of the efficiency and high level of collaboration at which PF operates we are able to deliver high quality habitat enhancements at a lower than anticipated cost.This completed program enhanced 21,553 acres of permanently protected habitat and 1,148 acres of native prairie.",,"Greater than 95% of Minnesota’s prairies have been lost to the plow and development. Many of the remaining acres of native and restored grasslands have been degraded from lack of fire and the spread of invasive volunteer trees. Many of these acres have low plant diversity and are not reaching their potential for wildlife production. Many older public hunting areas were purchased as brome fields or were restored using low diversity seed mixes. As mentioned above, today's expectations of habitat cover on public lands have changed. We are demanding public lands function at a higher level for many reasons. In 1972 a Wildlife Biologist, Barnet Schranck, once said “The days for setting lands aside to be left idle for wildlife are past, and management techniques are needed to keep habitat in the more vigorous, earlier stages of ecological succession”. Here 45 years later we are facing the exact same problems, however, we have significantly less ‘idle’ lands putting more pressure on permanently protected lands to be as productive as possible. As biology advances, we understand that we need to attempt to replicate the diversity as seen in native prairies when feasible to be able to have a chance to sustain wildlife that depend on this diversity. For the sites needing a higher diversity of forbs and grasses, we used a mix of cultivation, herbicide and prescribed fire to prep the site and plant with a high diversity native grass and forb mix. Other sites may have had a good grass and forb base already but needed a prescribed fire to remove the duff layer, set back non-native grasses and to promote forb expression. Prescribed burning is a great tool for enhancing grassland habitat for waterfowl, gamebirds, and songbirds. Prescribed fire usually was conducted in the spring after the non-native grasses started growing which would set back these undesirable species giving native species a leg up. Invasive tree removal was done mechanically by using heavy equipment to cut, treat, and pile woody debris to be burned at a later date. Special considerations were taken to reduce rutting and the spread of invasive species from different sites. Tree removal was often done in the winter months when the ground is frozen. This appropriation has allowed the DNR and USFWS to enhance public lands (i.e. DNR Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and USFWS Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA)) to the new expectation the public desires. All sites were enhanced following recommendations and by working in close collaboration with the area wildlife managers. As you will see in the attachment labeled 'project list', projects were bundled together based on activity type and location in order to get the lowest possible price. For this reason most projects in bundles do not have a per tract cost, but instead a total cost for all projects in that specific bundle. To calculate the per project cost in the parcel tab we took the total bundle price and averaged it by the number of projects in that bid bundle. A few projects in the attached 'project list' show 0 acres because these same project acres were already counted within this proposal within another activity category. It is also apparent in our attached project list that some per project costs are much lower than others within the same enhancement category. These project costs differ for various reasons. One reason being that the number of woody species on the tree removal sites can vary greatly. For example, on a tract enhanced through tree removal there can be scattered removal of encroaching trees or there could be the removal of heavily wooded areas such as old building sites or larger cottonwoods surrounding a wetland. Costs vary on diversity seedings because in some cases we were able to get match from the USFWS to help lower project costs. Our goal was to get good work done at the most economical price. The average cost of enhancement in this appropriation was approximately $61.00 per acre which we feel is a great price and provides a lot of value for the money. Swan Lake Waterfowl Production Area is a good example of how funds were used to help achieve management goals. Funds were used to remove undesirable woody vegetation from grassland habitat for migratory birds. Tree removal simulates conditions that existed here before European settlement. At that time, the land was predominantly treeless due to landscape scale prairie fires, so the goal is to recreate those conditions. Swan Lake WPA was infested with undesirable woody vegetation which diminishes the habitat value of the surrounding restored and native grasslands. This tree removal project targeted the undesirable trees invading these grasslands and wetlands. Funds were spent to hire a contractor to remove and chemically treat undesired deciduous and coniferous trees and to pile trees within selected locations on the WPA. The purpose of clearing trees and understory of brush is to restore the original grassland plants and the threatened grassland dependent fauna. Trees were removed by pulling or cutting, cut stumps were treated with an herbicide. 1,148 acres of native prairie was enhanced using prescribed fire in this appropriation. Fire is critical to maintain diversity and disturbance regimes on native prairie sites to keep these ares from becoming overtaken by non-native, more aggressive grass and weed species. Native prairie was identified using MNDNR MCBS native plant communities geospatial layer and historic areal imagery. It is important to continue to periodically enhance native prairie by prescribed fire to keep these areas functioning at the highest level possible as they often support rare, threatened and endangered species that depend on high quality native prairie. PF used the approved Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit contractors and CCM crews to conduct enhancements on lands open to public hunting owned and managed by the DNR and USFWS. PF in collaboration with our local chapter network requested projects from every USFWS and MNDNR office within the priority area. Projects were considered based on location, type of enhancement, and other geospatial factors such as proximity to rare species, native prairie, wellhead protection areas, etc. Consideration was also given to projects within core areas of the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. We were able to “bundle” many projects into one contract (as shown in attached project list) which added to our efficiency and effectiveness. The effectiveness of PF's RFP process can be measured by the fact that PF over delivered on acres while coming in under budget as broken out in the output tables.

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

The standards the historical society is trying to achieve are, mainly, a comfortable, sound environment with moderate light levels and little to no fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity (guidelines espoused by the National Park Service, Image Permanence Institute, etc.). Using data loggers is helping the historical society achieve these goals: tracking and offloading loggers has become a standard component of the organization's preservation procedures and has already led to changes/corrections in spaces where collections are stored and displayed (lights are now turned off, one programmable thermostat is now set at a constant temperature, humidifiers are being used, etc.).

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

Our medium term goal was to prepare for the opening. We were slightly delayed due to major transitions in staff, however the exhibition opened in early May with a series of events. A VIP event with in-depth tours with historian Dan Hoisington, followed by a members preview, and finally the public opening, complete with performances with Molly Hennig who sang WWI era songs and the Comrades of Valor Color Guard. The long-term goal is continued use of the exhibit, and indeed, through a variety of initiatives, visitorship of the exhibit is flourishing, with local visitors and tourists alike coming specifically to the museum to experience the exhibit. In fact, over 500 school kids toured the museum this spring to see the new exhibit. We are also partnering with a variety of organizations to increase awareness of Brown County and World War I, including the New Ulm Public Library, the New Ulm Film Society, Turner Hall, Springfield Historical Society, and community members to offer a wide-range of WWI themed programs. We are planning more for 2018 to sustain momentum and increase interest. Media coverage and visitor feedback has been very positive. Visitors are impressed by the overall display, enjoy viewing slides on a stereoscope and listening to music in the Home Front, watching historic interviews on a interactive kiosk, and viewing WWI trench footage through a periscope in a mock trench. We also have a letter writing station so guests can draft letters to public officials about the First Amendment, and many guests, including children have been writing letters.

The Brown County Historical Society created an exhibit, ""Loyalty and Dissent: Brown County and World War I"" on the second floor of their museum to illustrate and interpret the war experience of 1917 and 1918 as it pertained to Brown County. America's entry into World War I led to one of our nation's greatest tests of the First Amendment and its limits, set in a climate of suspicion about the loyalty of those who dissented from U.S. involvement in what they saw as a European conflict. In Brown County, these were not academic questions found in old, dusty law books. They affected the lives of every citizen as they made decisions about what those fundamental rights meant in everyday life. In addition, many young men, and several women, went on to serve their country on the battlefields of France and Belgium, some never returning home. The exhibit is expected to continue in this location for six to eight years.

The short-term impacts were framed as goals to be accomplished within the grant period. These were exceeded or achieved, and detailed comments are below. The intermediate and long-term impacts are targets to be achieved after the conclusion of the project. Given our success in achieving our short-term goals, we anticipate meeting our intermediate and long-term targets as well. Results were achieved/exceeded because the contractors working on the project were highly-experienced and talented. Bakken staff took considerable care to choose this contract staff. The project was a staff priority, and is part of a larger project that is an institutional priority. Finally, a $10,000 MHCH grant that preceded this one provided direction and established a strong basis for completing the work. Comments regarding short-term impacts and progress indicators: 1. Learn about three new directions for research through the survey of historical archives, repositories and resources. This was exceeded. The researcher uncovered a number of fascinating and relevant narratives. Several of these were pursued and resulted in interesting interviews. Others could be pursued at a later date. 2. Learn key historical stories of innovation that took place in Minnesota's Medical Alley that are supported by images, artifacts and video footage, indicated by the identification of historical resources to include in at least two exhibition components. This was achieved, and as development on the broader ""Inventing for Health"" project continues, we may find that it was exceeded. As noted above artifacts and stories acquired through this project will be used in a small ""prologue"" exhibit to open spring of 2018. Video interviews will be used in a larger exhibition, and will be supported through additional narratives, archival resources and objects collected or identified through the project. 3.

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

This appropriation is being used to identify, propagate, and evaluate native Minnesota elms resistant to Dutch elm disease to assist with limiting the susceptibility of the state's remaining elms to Dutch elm disease and possibly lay the foundation for re-introductions of the tree in the future.",,http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/projects/2013/work_plans/2013_03h.pdf,2013-07-01,2016-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Robert,Blanchette,"U of MN","1991 Upper Buford Cir, 495 Borlaug Hall","St. Paul",MN,55126,"(612) 625-0202",robertb@umn.edu,,"University of Minnesota ",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/finding-disease-resistant-elm-trees-minnesota,,,, 28604,"Fire Station History Exhibit Plan",2014,10000,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,10000,,"Fire Chief Stuart Glaser, Mayor Ken Harycki, Ward 1 Councilmember Doug Menikheim, Ward 2 Councilmember Ted Kozlowski, Ward 3 Councilmember Tom Weidner, Ward 4 Councilmember Michael Polehna.",,"City of Stillwater (Fire Department)","Local/Regional Government","To hire a qualified consultant to write an",,,2014-06-01,2014-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Stuart,Glaser,"City of Stillwater (Fire Department)","216 North 4th Street",Stillwater,MN,55082,651-351-4970,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Washington,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/fire-station-history-exhibit-plan,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

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

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

",,"A recent survey of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported 32 percent of Minnesotans participated in sport fishing, contributing $2.4 billion to the state economy in 2011. Sport fishing is a powerful economic engine in Minnesota and important to its residents’ quality of life. Sustaining a strong angling heritage revolves largely around protecting fisheries habitat necessary for healthy sport fish populations in the near- and long-term future with resurging shoreland development pressures and looming climate changes. This project focused on fisheries habitat protection on lakes that have the best biological integrity for a sustained sport fishery in light of these changes. These lakes are known collectively as “tullibee refuge lakes.” Tullibee (aka cisco) is the preferred forage fish for walleye, northern pike, muskellunge, and lake trout. They require cold, well-oxygenated waters—a condition most common in lakes with deep water and healthy watersheds. Tullibee populations are the “canary in the coalmine” for three significant collective threats to Minnesota’s sport fishery: shoreline development, watershed health, and climate warming. Deep, cold water tullibee lakes with high quality, well-oxygenated waters and natural, undisturbed land cover along the shorelines and within their watersheds will have the best chance to sustain tullibee populations in the face of these threats and will serve as a “refuge” for the tullibee if annual temperatures increase. Minnesota DNR Fisheries researchers studied tullibee lakes and designated 68 lakes in Minnesota as the primary “refuge lakes” for tullibee that need protection. Thirty-eight (38) of these refuge lakes—58 percent—are located in Hubbard, Crow Wing, Cass, and Aitkin counties. Many are also Minnesota’s premier recreation lakes. Scope of Project: Minnesota DNR Fisheries research recommends that 75% of a lake’s watershed be in permanent protection to ensure sustained water quality. Tullibee refuge lakes near this threshold were the highest priority for protection. In addition, the DNR’s Sensitive Shoreland data were used to help identify priority lakes where conservation investments could be maximized. Landowner recruitment was focus on parcels in close proximity to protected land and which also had a high potential to expand upland and aquatic habitat complexes. Landowner applications were evaluated based on criteria established by the project’s technical team. To ensure the best conservation return on the state’s investment, landowner willingness to donate a portion of the easement value was a key component of the parcel evaluation. Best available data (state and county) was used to prioritize projects andP a g e 3 | 14 maximize outcomes. The 2013 Minnesota DNR Fish Habitat Plan provided strategic guidance. Per the Fish Habitat Plan, nearshore fish habitat in lakes is largely affected by shoreline disturbance and the water quality habitat is determined by the water’s oxygen level and nutrient content. Lakeshore development decreases a lake’s ability to function as a healthy ecosystem for sport fish and their forage, not only by allowing increased runoff, but also through physical fish habitat alteration by lakeshore owners. Fisheries research has shown that healthy watersheds with intact forests are fundamental to good fish habitat. If 75% or more of its watershed remains forested and permanently protected, a lake has a high probability of sustaining a healthy lake ecosystem. The 38 tullibee refuge lakes in North Central Minnesota all have less than 25% land disturbance in their watersheds and already have some degree of watershed protection. While fisheries habitat protection was the primary focus of this project, creating strategic conservation complexes was an added benefit of permanent protection of forested, non-riparian lands within a tullibee refuge lake’s watershed. A conservation easement or fee title acquisition added adjacent to other protected land will increase the overall conservation impact by creating larger permanently protected complexes of diverse habitat that benefit many species. Fee acquisition and conservation easements were used to achieve permanent conservation of fisheries habitat on strategic parcels primarily in the watersheds of the 38 tullibee refuge lakes in Hubbard, Cass, Crow Wing, and Aitkin counties. Protection was targeted to shoreland parcels and key private forested parcels within these lake watersheds. NWLT’s role in the program was focused on targeted landowner recruitment, facilitating the technical team, grant administration, and acquisition of fee projects. MLT provided technical support and worked with landowners to secure conservation easements. Five properties were protected through this grant - one in fee (via NWLT) and four through conservation easements (via MLT). The five completed projects listed below are: NWLT: Woman Lake Aquatic Management Area, Tract 11 – Cass County. The 28.9 acre Lockman Family property was purchased by NWLT and conveyed to the State of Minnesota as part of the Woman Lake Aquatic Management Area. Woman Lake is within the Girl Lake watershed, which is categorized as a cold water tullibee refuge lake. The property has wetlands and sensitive lakeshore with diverse aquatic plants, birds, and other species. MLT: Sucker Brook (Roerick Trust) – Hubbard County. This 76-acre conservation easement is dominated by white cedar swamp and lies adjacent to the 321-acre Lester Lake SNA, Lester Lake AMA and the 100,000+ acre Paul Bunyan State Forest. The centerpiece of the property is the nearly one-mile riparian corridor of Sucker Brook, an important tributary to Kabekona Lake, a designated Tullibee Refuge Lake. MLT: Kabakona River (Hunke) – Hubbard County. The conservation easement protects >7,000 feet of the shoreline along the Kabekona River, a state-designated trout stream, and jack pine woodland communities on the uplands. The river is an important cold-water tributary to Kabekona Lake, an Outstanding Water Resource and a designated Tullibee Refuge Lake. MLT: Eleventh Crow Wing Lake (Olander) – Hubbard. County. This 400-acre property is part of a large landscape of protected natural lands, lying adjacent to the Paul Bunyan State Forest. The property’s rolling terrain supports mixed hardwood-conifer forest, restored grasslands, wetlands, and ponds. Six SGCN have been observed here.P a g e 4 | 14 MLT: Thunder Lake (Steiner) – Cass County. The 49-acre conservation easement contains over one-half mile of shoreline on Thunder Lake, a designated Tullibee Refuge Lake, Lake of Outstanding Biological Significance, and a wild rice lake.

This effort builds on previous LSOHC funding to control reed canary grass and plant trees as part of a long-term effort. ",,"Audubon’s floodplain forest enhancement program was designed to help sustain and enhance floodplain forest along the Mississippi River and the lower ends of major tributaries. The existing forest is dominated by mature silver maple (Acer saccharinum) trees which are starting to die back and there are not enough young trees in the forest to replace them. The forest lacks young trees largely because of the regular flooding and the presence of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), an invasive grass that grows in thick mats and inhibits the germination and growth of tree seedlings. In addition to the loss of mature trees and the lack of young trees, forest diversity is also declining because of dutch elm disease and the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) which kill the older elm and ash that were once more common in these stands. These forests provide critical habitat for forest dependent birds but without active management they will continue to decline in quality and quantity over time. Our program is focused on managing invasive species and regenerating a variety of tree and shrub species to improve bottomland forest habitat for birds. We prepared sites for planting or natural regeneration using herbicide, disking, or mowing. We planted bare root tree seedlings, cottonwood cuttings, or direct seeded trees including oaks and walnuts. We used tree tubes to protect trees from deer and voles; improved tree vigor and growth through selective thinning; and controlled weeds through herbicide treatments and mowing after planting. Our geographic scope included the Mississippi River from Hastings, MN to the Iowa border and the lower ends of major tributaries. Much of this land in SE Minnesota includes state forests, Wildlife Management Areas, or National Wildlife and Fish Refuge lands. Our priorities were determined in cooperation with MN Department of Natural Resources, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers. All projects were on public lands owned and managed by these agencies. Priorities were based on forest condition and threats, habitat needs, logistics, and access. Our goal was to manage invasive species long enough to establish young trees that will be the future forest canopy and maintain a diverse forest structure that benefits birds and other wildlife. Our objectives were designed to utilize a variety of enhancement tools, monitor the results, and apply that information to designing new projects. A description of each project is provided below. For some sites additional work may be continued with Phase 3 and Phase 4 of our floodplain forest enhancement program. Cannon River Bottoms / Collischan South (30 acres) This project was postponed in 2016 due to high water. A contractor treated 30 acres with herbicide during late summer 2017, and then planted 5000 bare root (BR) silver maple seedlings and 2400 Root Production Method (RPM) seedlings of silver maple, Ohio buckeye, river birch, Kentucky coffee tree, tulip tree, black gum, and sycamore during fall 2017. The contractor planted an additional 4600 BR seedlings during spring 2018. Reno Bottoms (60 acres) At the north end of Reno Bottoms, a contractor girdled 162 trees and treated the cuts with herbicide. Patches of reed canary grass were treated with herbicide and re-seeded with Virginia and Canada wild rye. Hardwood treesP a g e 3 | 11 were planted to maintain existing quality forest. In November 2018 a contractor planted RPM 50 Swamp White Oak, 50 Kentucky Coffee Trees, and hand seeded 5 lbs. of button bush. Richmond Island (10 acres) At Richmond Island we reduced black locust density, and treated buckthorn and honeysuckle with herbicide in late 2017 and early 2018. Root River (150 acres) This project has multiple phases including herbicide treatments, site preparation, direct seeding, planting bare root seedlings, planting RPM trees, planting cottonwood cuttings, timber stand improvement and post treatment weed control. In fall of 2018 we planted 200 swamp white oak bare root seedlings into mounds 1 ft. high and 2 ft. wide. We also planted 700 cottonwood cuttings, 550 swamp white oak RPM, an additional 1300 swamp white oak BR, 100 southern pin oak BR, and 50 bur oak BR. We also direct seeded 120 lbs. of swamp white oak acorns. In 2019 we planted 500 swamp white oak RPM trees. We also direct seeded silky dogwood, red dogwood, grey dogwood, nannyberry, and button bush. The Root River site will receive continued management in phase 3 and 4. Wabasha Bottoms (100 acres) We conducted a timber sale to enlarge gaps for tree planting. The harvest technique was used intentionally to create openings for tree planting and natural regeneration. In the fall of 2018, the openings were treated with herbicide. The gaps were planted with 2000 swamp white oak BR, 50 swamp white oak RPM, and 50 Kentucky coffee tree RPM. Unfortunately, spring flooding in 2019 killed the bare root seedlings and the Kentucky coffee trees. Within the southernmost harvested gaps, great silver maple regeneration was present, but did not persist. Whalen (8 acres) We completed multiple herbicide applications around trees planted in 2014 and 2015 to reduce competition with reed canary grass. We conducted site preparation for future plantings including mowing and disking. We collected cottonwood cuttings and planted 100 cottonwood spears. Unfortunately only 20% of the cottonwood planting survived, but the trees that did survive are 20 feet tall healthy Cottonwood. We speculated that our source population might not have been vigorous. By taking cuttings off the surviving cottonwood we hope to build a good source of strong trees thatwe can continue harvesting from in the future. Whitewater DNR (16 acres) We applied an herbicide treatment during the summer of 2016 but the fall of 2016 was too wet to do second herbicide treatment or to complete direct seeding. Herbicide was applied again during the summer/fall 2017. The area was direct seeded in spring 2018 with 6 bushels of Swamp white oak, 6 bushels bur oak, 3 bushel red oak, 3 bushel white oak, 3 bushels bitternut hickory, and 3 bushels of shagbark hickory.

Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe -- will decline to a point beyond recovery. These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves.

Process would be repeated with land sale proceeds.","Discussion of the Problem: There are many privately owned, forested parcels across the state that contain important habitat and other conservation values that make them desirable for either fee or conservation easement protection. Their value as conservation lands are many: These lands provide: 1) Access to state lands for resource management and for the recreating public; 2) Critical habitat for species of concern; 3) Connecting corridors between habitat blocks; 4) Key in holdings in larger blocks of forestland; or 5) Productive working forest that support local timber jobs. For some parcels, full fee ownership may be the most desirable option but for others, an easement interest may be sufficient to address our conservation goals and generally result in more efficient, cost-effective protection for selected parcels. These parcels may become available for sale by the owners who may only consider a sale in fee, but not an easement sale. In those cases, we either have to buy in fee or pass on the parcel. This proposal is an attempt to expand the toolbox for those parcels where fee sales are the only option. Under this proposal the state would: 1. Identify lands of interest and interested sellers. Year 1 and ongoing. Several potential parcels of interest have been identified in the parcel list. Other parcels will be considered for the final selection.2. Acquire the forest land in fee. Years 1-4. Up to 16 parcels will be targeted.3. Develop the conservation easement appropriate to the parcel. Years 1-5.4. Resell the lands subject to the conservation easement. Years 2-5. Estimated cost to sell parcels is approximately $13,600/parcel. 5. Dedicate funds for conservation stewardship. Years 2-5.6. Repeat the process with the sale proceeds as time allows or return the remaining funds. Years 2-5. We estimate that parcels will resell for between 40-60% of initial purchase price depending on final easement terms.Easements secured under this program would be perpetual and would be drafted to protect the essential habitat, access, and other conservation values of the individual tracts. Forests would be protected from conversion to non-forest uses. Depending on the site, limited public assess through the property to other public lands may be secured, but for most parcels public access for hunting and fishing would not be provided. The conservation easement would limit those developments and activities that negatively impact habitat values and would require forest stewardship plans that guide the landowners' use of the property. Hunting camps and possibly cabins, appropriately located, may be allowed to encourage those traditional forest uses such as hunting and fishing.Outcomes for this project include: 1. Increased management access and public access to public lands; 2. Habitat protection; 3. Connectivity of habitats and the prevention of forest fragmentation; 4.

We will develop strategies to reduce risks in the targeted watersheds. We will develop outreach programs geared toward implementing those strategies for forest landowners managers and loggers. These programs will include: 1) workshops addressing erosion control on forest access roads and timber harvesting sites; 2) feedback to land managers and loggers of sites monitored in FY14 (results of site monitoring and identifying opportunities for improvement) 3) a BMP field manual for loggers and land managers.","In FY 15 the DNR identified that forests were disturbed in a total of 38 watersheds (HUC 8) and 27 counties in Minnesota. We selected 80 harvest sites in a subset of seven watersheds for monitoring the implementation of sustainable forest management guidelines and water quality BMPs.* We hired contractors to collect monitoring data which we will analyze in FY16. We also completed field monitoring at an additional 59 sites that were started in FY2014 sites in the Mississippi Headwaters Rum River Lake Superior South and Lake Superior North watersheds. We synthesized data for these sites and evaluated them for guideline compliance. We presented the information to various groups (see below). The final report will be done in February of 2016. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Logger Education Program we conducted two workshops addressing erosion control on forest access roads and timber harvesting sites in fall/winter of 2014. We also made several presentations to disseminate Guideline Monitoring results including talking to land managers at the monitoring sites in an ongoing process providing feedback. We also helped develop a BMP field manual for loggers and land managers. We evaluated forest disturbance/change between the years 2000 to 2015 on all forested watersheds in Minnesota. We looked at specific watershed characteristics to identify water quality risk factors including: proximity of forest disturbances to water features roads and road crossings; soil drainage type texture and erodibility; current and past land cover and land use change; and topographic characteristics (slope flow direction and accumulation). We used these data layers along with several from the DNR’s Watershed Health Assessment Framework to create a preliminary risk index.",,,,171589,,,1.0,,,"The Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Forest Resources Council work with forest landowners, managers and loggers to implement a set of voluntary sustainable forest management guidelines that include water quality best management practices (BMPs) to ensure sustainable habitat, clean water, and productive forest soils, all contributing to healthy watersheds. This project will monitor the implementation of these forest management guidelines and BMPs on forested watersheds in MN. Additionally, this project will identify timber harvest frequency and distribution as well as significant change to forest area including conversion of forests to other land uses, large fires, and blowdown events. An evaluation of the guideline implementation rates, watershed characteristics, and the frequency and distribution of forest change will be used to identify risks to water quality as well as strategies to reduce these risks, with the goal of maintaining high quality forested watersheds in MN. Outreach programs will be developed for forest landowners, managers and loggers throughout the target watersheds aimed at mitigating these risks such as improved implementation of specific BMPs. ","Forested watersheds in MN generally produce an abundance of high quality water. Much of our forested landscape is managed as productive forest land providing timber products as well recreational opportunities and abundant wildlife. Sustainable timber harvesting in combination with application of voluntary water quality BMP's has helped to maintain water quality in Minnesota's managed forest lands. However, risks to water quality in these landscapes still remain, with rates of BMP implementation, harvesting patterns, and watershed characteristics influencing the potential for impacts to occur at any given time or place. Also, recent trends in forestland development and loss in Minnesota has increased the risk of impacts to water quality in forested landscapes. Evaluation of BMP implementation and quantification of risk factors by watershed, combined with effective outreach programs, will allow for continued utilization of working forests while maintaining functioning, healthy watersheds that produce clean water.

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

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

Contact grants@mnhs.org","The short-term target of maintaining a timely response to new contacts and an efficient authentication procedure was met. The project manager prepared an intake form and authentication strategies prior to publicizing the search, so any submissions of potential Gilbert furnishings could be assessed and added to the system quickly. The intermediate target of writing stories as material was available and sharing them with the public was also met. Once the project manager collected sufficient information of an item, she wrote a story and compiled relevant photographs. Stories were shared through Facebook, newspaper articles, television interviews, and public programs. Web development proceeded to be done separately; that is, instead of pages being continuously added to the Cass Gilbert Society's existing website, a new site was created and unveiled at the end of the project term. This alternative still allowed for the public to receive project updates, while ensuring the future website was as refined and complete as possible. The initial plan also included adding 100 new pages to the existing website. The reality of this expansion was beyond knowing prior to the project. The resulting new website, with fewer pages but rich content including stories, photo albums, and maps, is a focused and thorough collection of all research and findings. The long-term target of publicizing information about Gilbert and the State Capitol has been met and will continue to be met as the website is continually shared by the Cass Gilbert Society and others. The website will be useful not only to site managers, historians, and architects for research purposes but also to the general public. The targets were met because the project team did not hastily roll out information about the project before sufficient research had occurred and systems of recording submissions were in place. This allowed for a smooth, thorough collection of data, stories, and photographs. Regular promotion of the project through personal outreach, media connections, and printed material also ensured that the project team met their targets.",,,"Available upon request.

This appropriation is being used to better understand the numbers, distribution, migration routes, and habitat needs of golden eagles in Minnesota. This information will inform natural resource management decisions and be used to educate landowners and the general public about golden eagles in the state. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The Golden Eagle Survey Project represents groundbreaking research on a bird that was previously not thought to be a regular inhabitant of Minnesota. Through field observations and telemetry, the Golden Eagle Survey Project is expanding the understanding of population, distribution, habitats, habitat use, migration routes, breeding areas, and management needs of the population of golden eagles that winter in Minnesota. Annual surveys coordinated by the Golden Eagle Survey Project have documented a regular migratory population using the bluffland subsection of the Paleozoic Plateau in southeast Minnesota in winter. During annual winter surveys in 2012-2014, an average of 36 golden eagles have been observed in Minnesota's blufflands. Using satellite telemetry to track golden eagles, the Project is expanding the world's knowledge of the range, location of breeding territories, and migration routes of this previously unstudied population. One golden eagle, #46, was released in January 2011 with a GPS satellite-linked transmitter. The Project tracked #46 for more than 950 days, from his release in Wabasha County and his migrations to Nunavut, Canada and back to wintering range in southeast Minnesota. Data collected on golden eagle habitat use, preferred prey, and range will be used to ensure appropriate management and conservation action to protect critical wintering habitat for golden eagles in Minnesota. Thousands of people have learned about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota through the Golden Eagle Survey Project's outreach to landowners, wildlife managers and the general public. In programs at the National Eagle Center and throughout the state, the Golden Eagle Project increased awareness and understanding of golden eagles as regular winter inhabitants of the blufflands region. The Project's outreach to conservation professionals and the general public continues to broaden awareness of this unique species in Minnesota. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< Golden Eagle Survey Project data are publicly available on the National Eagle Center's website. Since January, 2012, the National Eagle Center's website has seen nearly 30,000 unique visits to the Golden Eagle Survey Project information pages. Here visitors learn about the presence of golden eagles in Minnesota, view data and project maps, and learn how they can get involved in efforts to understand and conserve golden eagles in Minnesota. In addition, updates on golden eagle tracking are posted on social media outlets, reaching an audience of more than 10,000 followers. Detailed data from field observations, Annual Wintering Golden Eagle Surveys, and telemetry are made available to researchers and others upon request.

The project restored permanent and seasonal spawning and juvenile habitat to a variety of fish species, including northern pike and channel catfish. Additional project benefits included restoration of permanent and seasonal habitats for many aquatic and terrestrial plant and upland animal species that depend on healthy riparian corridor habitat (already acquired through RIM). The restored channel corridor provides a more functional, reliable connection between the Red River and more than 20 miles of upstream riverine and wetland habitats in Grand Marais Creek. The watershed district initiates projects based on priority problems identified in the watershed district plan (http://www.redlakewatershed.org/planupdate.html). This project addressed and fulfilled a much larger scope of work in the entire Grand Marais Creek sub-watershed. The entire scope of work will result in reduced flood damages, enhancement of natural resources and improvement of water quality. This stream habitat restoration project has completed a comprehensive watershed-based approach to managing water and habitat in the Grand Marais Creek watershed that has included strategic storage of 5,400 ac-feet and almost 1,100 acres of wetland and grassland restoration. Throughout the sub-watershed, targeted channel stabilization projects, buffer strip installation and erosion reduction projects at the outlet have now been completed. The Red Lake Watershed District and their partners secured CWLF through the BWSR to stabilize the existing Grand Marais Outlet Channel corridor/legal drainage system. This project was substantially completed in late 2013. Due to short timeframe for seeding native prairie grass and inclimate weather in 2014 final seeding was completed in 2015 . The completion of the Grand Marais Creek Outlet Restoration and Stabilization Projects is the result of careful planning and engineering by an interdisciplinary project team of resource professionals and local landowners dedicated to reducing flood damages and enhancing natural resources in the Grand Marais Creek sub-watershed within Red River watershed.

",,,,1926000,,,4.55,BWSR,"State Government","This pilot project tested the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of acquiring grassland conservation easements and protected 459 acres of critical and threatened grassland habitat, through one MLT easement and two BWSR-RIM easements.  Through partner coordination among BWSR, MLT, TCF and local SWCD's, this proposal contributed to implementation of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. ",,"A Conservation Legacy in Jeopardy Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota.  The LSOHC defined Prairie Section has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, in the next five years approximately 800,000 acres of Minnesota’s conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will expire. Unless action is taken to continue protection of these lands by using a combination of conservation programs, many will likely be converted to cropland, eliminating most of the wildlife habitat and associated ecosystem benefits. This project piloted new and innovative approaches to securing conservation easements to permanently protect large assemblages of critical grassland habitat.  The need for this private lands approach in the Prairie Section is essential because ownership patterns in this landscape include many private landowners with smaller parcels that require custom-tailored conservation solutions. These solutions often involve crafting easements that assure conservation of the grasslands while also working with the landowner to make the management of the grasslands profitable and therefore, sustainable.   Lands targeted for protection through this pilot met the following criteria: Near or within the Core Areas identified in the Prairie Plan. Within approximately two miles of permanently protected land. Establishing connections to permanently protected land wherever possible. Within approximately five miles of a viable producer with a proven track record of managing grasslands with livestock and willing to own land protected by a permanent easement mandating grassland conservation management methods and practices. Low production cropland. Once these priority grassland complexes had been identified, the project partners tested three important protection elements in order to determine how to best implement a cost-effective grasslands program at a larger scale:  First, landowners within these identified complexes were offered a menu of land protection options to assess what is of greatest interest or application in this landscape.   One of the options included a model in which a non-profit partner, The Conservation Fund (TCF), would use its revolving fund to acquire land in fee from a landowner not interested in maintaining their land as a working grassland. TCF would hold ownership until funds are available to sell a conservation easement to an easement holder such as Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) or the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR).  Once the easement is in place, TCF would subsequently sell the underlying fee, now reduced in value by the conservation easement, to a pre-identified local producer.   This approach allows TCF to act quickly to acquire land that would otherwise be sold and converted to row crops. The value of the easement, and the value of the land sold to the local producer, will be determined by an appraisal.    Outcome - This option was investigated, but unfortunately due to a number of factors was not chosen by any landowners. Another option was for the landowner to sell a conservation easement directly to the BWSR or the MLT.  All easement acquisition funds were allocated to BWSR.  Once specific easements and their respective holders were identified, BWSR allocated the funds necessary to MLT to complete their acquisition through a State approved contract.  Outcome - One MLT easement was recorded on 284 acres in Pope County. Two RIM easements were recorded for 45.8 acres in Chippewa County and 129.5 acres in Murray County. The second element being tested was how to best implement grasslands protection in a private, working landscape. This included developing conservation easements and management plans that protect the important grassland and prairie habitats while simultaneously providing the agricultural producers with residual economic value through restricted grazing or haying. This is a critical issue for the ultimate success of the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan. Outcome - BWSR, MLT, and TCF worked together to develop a grazing plan template and for the MLT secured easement a conservation grazing plan was developed and is being implemented that allows a level of utilization of the grassland while prioritizing wildlife habitat.  Finally, this pilot project also explored how BWSR and non-profit partners can most cost effectively value and secure these unique conservation easements. This included an evaluation of all of the costs, potential leverage of federal programs, timing and landowner interest in the easements’ value to bring a program to scale.  Outcome - Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.   This pilot project worked with local producers who were interested in promoting conservation compatible agriculture and who are interested in conservation easements that allow them to remain competitive in today’s climate of escalating agricultural land prices. This approach allowed state conservation funds to potentially leverage current or future federal funding via the Farm & Ranchland Protection Program, Grassland Reserve Program, or CRP. Due primarily to unavailability of federal funds non were utilized on the three secured easements. Management costs for maintaining grassland habitat will be largely borne by the local producer as part of their operation rather than be a continuous financial burden on the government. Finally, this approach also keeps land on the local tax rolls and helps to promote a diversified local economy. As an attachment to this final report is a seven page document that goes into detail on each of the points being piloted with this project.   The conclusions of this project included: 1.    BWSR’s RIM program is high volume, one size fits all.  While MLT/TCF are lower volume but can be flexible when necessary.   2.    At an individual easement level combining State government and non-profit (MLT and TCF for example) programs was not shown to be needed and did not provide benefits beyond what each entities programs could offer individually. While it is extremely valuable to have both program options operating within the same geography and acting in complementary fashions, they are different enough that combining them into one program did not create an advantage. 3.    It is important that a landowner have options that include both government and non-government easement programs so they can decide which works best for them. 4.    Valuations of easement payments to landowners between the RIM program and individual appraisals show general agreement in compensation.      5.    BWSR and MLT/TCF are able to utilize RIM or other funds from various appropriations to secure an easement.  For example, the Chippewa site would not have been permanently protected if BWSR was not able to utilize both OHF and Bonding funding.  This demonstrates how public and private entities can combine funding sources to enhance their effectiveness and why coordination of public and private programs is important.  6.    This pilot delivered a very successful working grassland habitat protection project as one of its outcomes, which included a model or template conservation grazing plan. MLT will monitor this property 2x per year to ensure compliance with the conservation easement terms.  7.    Landowner interest will fluctuate with commodity prices and land values making the timing of appropriations important to get right.  8.    Conservation easements satisfy only a portion of the landowner’s overall goals for their properties and must work in concert with the other uses and needs of private landowners.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim," Koehler","Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-296-6745,tim.koehler@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grasslands-future,,,, 35062,"Grassland Conservation Partnership Phase II",2017,1475000,"ML 2016, Ch. 172, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(i)","$1,475,000 the second year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with The Conservation Fund, in cooperation with Minnesota Land Trust, to acquire permanent conservation easements and restore high priority grassland, prairie, and wetland habitats as follows: $64,000 to The Conservation Fund; and $1,411,000 to Minnesota Land Trust, of which up to $100,000 is for establishing a monitoring and enforcement fund, as approved in the accomplishment plan and subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 97A.056, subdivision 17.

In addition, 140 acres of grasslands habitat was enhanced through the grant.","Native grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in Minnesota and one of the most threatened in the world. The Prairie Section as defined by LSOHC has suffered the greatest habitat loss of any of the five sections examined by the Council. Furthermore, only a third of the remaining habitat in the Prairie Section is permanently protected. To compound the problem, significant amounts of Minnesota?s conservation lands enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) have expired over the past half decade and have been removed from the program. Science has proven that proper application of haying and grazing techniques can be used to mimic natural processes necessary for healthy grass natural communities. Our colleagues at The Nature Conservancy and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service have proven these techniques successful in Minnesota over a significant period of time. TCF performed the initial landowner outreach and identified potential projects; MLT negotiated the terms of the conservation easements with the landowners. All easements are held and monitored by MLT in perpetuity. Lands targeted for conservation easement protection through this project met the following criteria: 1. Lands with significant existing prairie or grassland habitat 2. Lands near or within the Core Areas and Corridors identified in the Prairie Plan 3. Lands adjacent to or in close proximity to permanently protected land (e.g., WMAs, WPAs, CREP easements, TNC preserves, etc.) 4. Lands which will help establish connections between existing permanently protected lands, and those creating larger habitat complexes 5. Lands which may also include low production cropland that can be converted back into grasslands, thereby increasing overall grassland habitat MLT and TCF used these criteria to systematically vet and rank potential projects to ensure projects selected possessed the maximum conservation value for the state's investment. Projects were also screened to identify producers with a proven ability to successfully implement the best management practices for conservation grazing. MLT used the proven ?reverse-bid? model to incentivize landowners to donate a portion of easement value and allow for the most efficient use of conservation funds. This reverse bid model first ranks the projects according to their habitat values and then ranks them according to the landowner's bid on what they are willing to get paid for the conservation easements. Projects selected provided the greatest conservation benefits at the lowest cost to the State. Two conservation easement projects were completed through this grant, totaling 1,778 acres and protecting 3 miles of shoreline: Caribou Parklands (Finney) - This massive 1,510-acre conservation easement embodies the innovative protection strategy championed by the Grasslands Conservation Partnership program. Located in Kittson County in Minnesota?s unique Tallgrass Aspen Parklands biome, this property is part of a conservation grazing operation that is sustained by rotational grazing and selective haying. Strategically located in an approximately 10-square mile area of private land that is surrounded by three WMAs, this property provides a critical link between vast stretches of public lands. Ten native plant communities have been identified on the property, including rare prairie and wetland communities. Approximately 220 acres of native prairie is present. The property is home to numerous state-listed wildlife species, including moose, elk, and marbled godwit, as well as many other species that are considered Species in Greatest Conservation Need, such as sharptailed grouse and northern harrier. Perch Lake (Samuelson) - Nearly two miles of shoreline on Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake in Otter Tail County are protected through this impressive 267-acre conservation easement. Located six miles northwest of Parkers Prairie, this property is situated in the scenic Leaf Hills, a rugged glacial moraine that is part of the larger Alexandria Moraine. The property contains extensive rolling pasture, grazed through a Conservation Grazing Plan, as well as a narrow isthmus located between Perch Lake and an additional unnamed lake. The isthmus is pockmarked with wetland basins and contains large stands of Pin Oak ? Bur Oak Woodland, a community that is considered ?vulnerable to extirpation? in Minnesota. This portion of the property is also part of a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance and is located less than a mile west of Folden Woods Marsh Wildlife Management Area. A large 140-acre enhancement project also occurred on the Perch Lake (Samuelson) property after the easement closed. Portions of this easement had a long history of grazing and the Land Trust worked with the landowners to develop a rotational grazing system to improve and maintain the important habitats found on this portion of the property. The Land Trust also installed fencing to operationalize the rotational grazing system. These initial investments will allow for season-long habitat across the property, providing varied grass heights, and allowing for grassland plant species to complete their lifecycles on portions of the property every year. This will, in turn, provide valuable foraging and nesting habitat for grasslands birds, as well as floral resources and shelter for prairie pollinators.",,2016-07-01,2023-05-05,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Emilee,Nelson,"The Conservation Fund","1000 County Road E W Suite 220",Shoreview,MN,55126,"(952) 595-5768",enelson@conservationfund.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Kittson, Otter Tail","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/grassland-conservation-partnership-phase-ii,,,, 14421,"Grassroots Indigenous Multi Media",2014,37523,"M.L. 2013, Chp. 137, Art. 4, Sec. 2, Sub. 10 (b) ","$550,000 the first year and $550,000 the second year are for grants for programs that preserve Dakota and Ojibwe Indian languages and to foster educational programs in Dakota and Ojibwe languages.","The goal for the year is to create a web-based resource and a booklet that gathers, digitizes, organizes, and describes many of the curriculum materials and resources that are currently available.

Data collected from this work was then compared to fall waterfowl abundance data collected by the MN DNR to determine if a correlation existed. We were able to develop the methodology for quantifying rice abundance from high resolution photographs into some broad categories, but were unable to statistically correlate this with fall duck abundance. Either the rice quantification methods or waterfowl counts are not refined enough to make a statistically valid determination or, more likely, waterfowl will still make use of rice even if it is not abundant, provided it contains sufficient cover. Even though we were unable to make a correlation between rice abundance and fall waterfowl numbers the methodology developed for quantifying rice from aerial photographs will be valuable to us and other managers in the future. This project also had two smaller components. The first was to manage, maintain, and enhance some of the waterfowl impoundments and other waters that are located on the Leech Lake Reservation. Over the period of this grant we focused on five impoundments and other waterways to enhance these areas for waterfowl and other species that utilize these habitats.

Habitat restoration and infrastructure development of new WMAs needs to be tied to the proposed land acquisition efforts of the Habitat Conservation Partnership (HCP). This project funding component (2g) ensured that the DNR had funding available to complete necessary initial site development and habitat restoration for newly acquired lands when they are transferred from the partner organizations to the DNR for long term management. Adequate funding ensures that newly acquired lands can be entered into the WMA system on a timely basis. Funding from this HCP project (2g) provided for the demolition of several dilapidated buildings along with site cleanup and rehabilitation at the newly acquired Dora Lake WMA in Le Sueur County.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using these funds to conduct habitat restoration on these new WMA lands, as well as develop the infrastructure necessary for public access to them.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) are part of Minnesota's outdoor recreation system and are established to protect those lands and waters that have a high potential for wildlife production, public hunting, trapping, fishing, and other compatible recreational uses. DNR Section of Wildlife administers and manages habitat restoration and development of infrastructure necessary for public access on lands acquired by partners for State WMAs. Habitat restoration and infrastructure development of new WMAs needs to be tied to the proposed land acquisition efforts of the Habitat Conservation Partnership (HCP). This project funding component (2g) ensured that the DNR had funding available to complete necessary initial site development and habitat restoration for newly acquired lands when they are transferred from the partner organizations to the DNR for long term management. Adequate funding ensures that newly acquired lands can be entered into the WMA system on a timely basis. Funding from this HCP project (2g) provided for the demolition of several dilapidated buildings along with site cleanup and rehabilitation at the newly acquired Dora Lake WMA in Le Sueur County. Removal of the farmstead buildings and debris at Dora Lake was an important first step in providing wildlife habitat and making the unit safe for public users. Two newly acquired WMA parcels, Rice Lake WMA in Faribault County and Sanborn Lake WMA in Le Sueur County received professional boundary surveys in preparation for posting and public use.

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

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

As a result of this appropriation, an estimated $4 million of additional funding for conservation is anticipated to be provided in match by the federal Wetland Reserve Program.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Most of Minnesota's prairie wetlands and nearly all of our native prairie grasslands have been converted to agriculture or other uses. Restoring and protecting restored native prairie and prairie wetland complexes is a priority for the state as outlined in Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. The federal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) administered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an important voluntary conservation easement program available to landowners to restore and protect prairie wetland complexes on private land. The objective of the WRP is to restore and protect wetlands and adjacent upland habitats to benefit migratory birds and other wildlife, and improve water quality. To accelerate the WRP in Minnesota, Ducks Unlimited (DU) partnered with the USDA's NRCS to provide technical assistance through eight grant-funded wetland restoration specialist consultants contracted to help NRCS promote and secure new WRP applications and plan and implement restorations on WRP easements secured in previous years. In addition, DU provided engineering services to assist NRCS with survey and preliminary design of two larger wetland restorations requiring complex water control structures to restore wetland hydrology. Through this grant, DU consultant specialists promoted WRP to 955 private landowners, secured/completed/submitted 83 WRP applications, developed or modified 174 WRP conservation plans to guide restoration of WRP easements, designed 15 water control structures for wetland restorations, and helped restore 192 wetlands on WRP easements. In addition, Ducks Unlimited wetland engineers also completed a preliminary engineering report for the large 4,000-acre Crooked Lake restoration project in Douglas County to help inform and guide future landowner outreach efforts, and completed engineering design plans for restoration of the 100-acre Rasmus Lake wetland project in Kandiyohi County.

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The MN Valley Trust acquired fee title to 78.96 acres to expand the Howard Farm Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) in Blue Earth County. The ENRTF grant acquired 45.98 acres and other, non-state private funds acquired the remaining 32.98 acres. This tract is now an integral part of a 600+ acre complex called the Howard Farm WPA of the USFWS / Minnesota Valley Wetland Management District. The acquired property includes degraded prairie and wetland habitat that was drained so that it could be farmed. Plans for this now-retired cropland include restoration of 62 acres of upland and 18 acres of wetland habitat that will be able to store up to 15 million gallons of water. The prairie seed mix will include the maximum diversity of plant species to benefit waterfowl, grassland birds, and pollinators. This project will increase habitat quality and nest success for resident and migratory grassland birds, waterfowl, wading birds, resident species, and pollinators. It also will improve water quality to nearby Loon Lake, Lake Crystal, and the Watonwan and Minnesota Rivers through filtration and storage, and will increase wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities for the public.To meet the 1:1 leverage obligation of its work plan, the MN Valley Trust also completed the following during the project period using other private, non-state funds:Acquired fee title to 17.39 acres for the Perch Lake WPA on the north end of this state-designated shallow lake that provides critical resting habitat for migrating waterfowl. Habitat work will include retiring the cropland and field road, restoring both to prairie grassland, and removing a shed cabin from the lakeshore.Acquired fee title to 160 acres to expand the Lincoln WPA. The tract includes a 152-acre CREP easement and an 8-acre building site. Habitat work will include restoring the building site to native prairie, enhancing 15 wetland acres, restoring 11 wetlands not previously restored, inter-seeding 152 acres with a diverse mix of prairie forbs and applying prescribed fire.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Minnesota Valley Trust will announce the projects via news releases and the Trust website as habitat restoration work gets underway.

OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The MN Valley Trust acquired fee title to 78.96 acres to expand the Howard Farm Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) in Blue Earth County. The ENRTF grant acquired 45.98 acres and other, non-state private funds acquired the remaining 32.98 acres. This tract is now an integral part of a 600+ acre complex called the Howard Farm WPA of the USFWS / Minnesota Valley Wetland Management District. The acquired property includes degraded prairie and wetland habitat that was drained so that it could be farmed. Plans for this now-retired cropland include restoration of 62 acres of upland and 18 acres of wetland habitat that will be able to store up to 15 million gallons of water. The prairie seed mix will include the maximum diversity of plant species to benefit waterfowl, grassland birds, and pollinators. This project will increase habitat quality and nest success for resident and migratory grassland birds, waterfowl, wading birds, resident species, and pollinators. It also will improve water quality to nearby Loon Lake, Lake Crystal, and the Watonwan and Minnesota Rivers through filtration and storage, and will increase wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities for the public.To meet the 1:1 leverage obligation of its work plan, the MN Valley Trust also completed the following during the project period using other private, non-state funds:Acquired fee title to 17.39 acres for the Perch Lake WPA on the north end of this state-designated shallow lake that provides critical resting habitat for migrating waterfowl. Habitat work will include retiring the cropland and field road, restoring both to prairie grassland, and removing a shed cabin from the lakeshore.Acquired fee title to 160 acres to expand the Lincoln WPA. The tract includes a 152-acre CREP easement and an 8-acre building site. Habitat work will include restoring the building site to native prairie, enhancing 15 wetland acres, restoring 11 wetlands not previously restored, inter-seeding 152 acres with a diverse mix of prairie forbs and applying prescribed fire.PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Minnesota Valley Trust will announce the projects via news releases and the Trust website as habitat restoration work gets underway. Once habitat work is complete, the lands will be opened by the USFWS for the public's use for wildlife-dependent recreation.",,"Final Report",2011-07-01,2014-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Loon,"Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Trust Inc","2312 Seabury Ave",Minneapolis,MN,55406,"(612) 801-1935",dloon@mnvalleytrust.org,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Blue Earth",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/hcp-vii-priority-acquisition-mn-valley-wetland-management-district-4h,,,, 2948,"HCP VII - Habitat Acquisition – DNR Professional Services (4i)",2012,10000,"M.L. 2011, First Special Session, Chp. 2, Art.3, Sec. 2, Subd. 04j4i","$1,737,000 the first year and $1,738,000 the second year are from the trust fund to the commissioner of natural resources for the acceleration of agency programs and cooperative agreements.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is using these funds to cover professional services costs associated with these property transfers.OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The purpose of this funding was to help cover the cost of professional services related to transfer of Wildlife Management Area (WMA) property to the DNR from Habitat Conservation Partnership (HCP) partners. Several HCP partners have received funding for WMA acquisition. The process of conveying title to this land from partner to DNR results in direct costs to DNR for things such as staff time for DNR Division of Lands and Minerals and the Attorney General's Office, survey costs, recording fees, abstracting fees, property taxes, and deed taxes. These costs can be considerable and often create strain on other DNR budgets. This funding has supported the conveyance of thirteen WMA parcels from three HCP partners. These thirteen parcels added over 840 acres to the WMA system to be permanently protected and open to public hunting, fishing, and trapping. Although this was a 36-month (FY12 to FY14) appropriation, it was largely spent in the first 18 months. Therefore most of the FY13 and FY14 costs for conveyance of these lands have been paid from other DNR budgets. For these 13 properties approximately $21,500 has come from those other budgets. This illustrates that the costs associated with conveying land acquired by partners are protracted and do not end once the land is acquired.

Long Term Impact: Collaboration, trust, and partnership efforts between the Byway Alliance and individual Byway partners and the Dakota communities in the Byway increase. Long Term Impact: The public has a greater appreciation for the intrinsic values of the Minnesota River, particularly the historic ones. While we cannot determine the long term impact, we have laid a good foundation for success in our long term goals. We will be able to see this in meeting attendance and website hits in future months. We also believe we will have future projects that will be a result of this partnership. We reached these outcomes because of the open communication and understanding of all the partners in working together. All partners were patient, responsive and engaged. We now have a strong partnership between the Byway members and the Tribal Preservation Officers from both the Upper Sioux Community and the Lower Sioux Community. The outcome we did not reach (discovery sites update published) was because we underestimated the scope of work and the amount of review needed in order to update the content of the discovery sites.

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

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

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

The creation of base maps and overlay data sets are important building blocks for use in multiple interpretive platforms (e.g. hand-held mobile device, interactive video screens, and interpretive flat art). By producing maps in digital format, the products of this grant are available and flexible in format for the long-term needs of the museum’s public programs.

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.

In addition, over 300 photographs and other audio recordings documenting local history were also collected as a result of this project. Metadata for all items has been created and stored in the McKiernan Library and all items are in the process of being added to the McKiernan Library Collection where they will be preserved up to archival standards. Copies of interview audio and copies of the transcripts are being made publicly available within the McKiernan Library itself and digital copies of both audio and transcripts will be made available online through the digital collection on the library's website.  This oral history collection is the most comprehensive document of the development of the Twin Cities' unique and vibrant Irish music scene created to date. The excitement generated by this project demonstrates strong community support for documenting the development of the local scene. The current strength of Irish music locally and its continuing survival and growth in Ireland and around the world assures that there will be an audience for this collection for years to come.

There is widespread concern about the consequences of poorly planned development on water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Given the increased demands for water and shoreland, continued habitat fragmentation and loss of species diversity, protection of sensitive lakeshores is critical. Data on the distribution and ecology of rare plants and animals, native plant communities, and vulnerable lakeshores are needed to prioritize actions to conserve and manage lake ecosystems. As Minnesota assesses the status of its natural resources, develops plans for priority resources, and invests millions of dollars in resource protection efforts, information that helps target conservation decisions along lakeshores will be vital. This project delivered information specifically for that need. The project identified priority areas in Itasca County for shoreland reclassification and potential purchase or conservation easement, as well as provided interpretive products to shoreland property owners and state and local governments. Sensitive lakeshore assessments were completed on 51 Itasca County lakes. In total, 170 miles of shoreline and nearly 32,000 acres of shoreland were identified as highly sensitive lakeshore. Project partners conducted Sensitive Shoreline presentations to the Itasca Coalition of Lake Associations and individual Lake Associations. The project completed approximately 200 onsite shoreland property evaluations, and for those property owners it provided technical guidance/services for re-establishment of native vegetative buffers and shoreline erosion stabilization projects. Shoreline activities were also reviewed for ordinance compliance.

There is widespread concern about the consequences of poorly planned development on water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Given the increased demands for water and shoreland, continued habitat fragmentation and loss of species diversity, protection of sensitive lakeshores is critical. Data on the distribution and ecology of rare plants and animals, native plant communities, and vulnerable lakeshores are needed to prioritize actions to conserve and manage lake ecosystems. As Minnesota assesses the status of its natural resources, develops plans for priority resources, and invests millions of dollars in resource protection efforts, information that helps target conservation decisions along lakeshores will be vital. This project delivered information specifically for that need. The project identified priority areas in Itasca County for shoreland reclassification and potential purchase or conservation easement, as well as provided interpretive products to shoreland property owners and state and local governments. Sensitive lakeshore assessments were completed on 51 Itasca County lakes. In total, 170 miles of shoreline and nearly 32,000 acres of shoreland were identified as highly sensitive lakeshore. Project partners conducted Sensitive Shoreline presentations to the Itasca Coalition of Lake Associations and individual Lake Associations. The project completed approximately 200 onsite shoreland property evaluations, and for those property owners it provided technical guidance/services for re-establishment of native vegetative buffers and shoreline erosion stabilization projects. Shoreline activities were also reviewed for ordinance compliance. The Itasca County Comprehensive Land Use Plan was updated to advance proactive protection of sensitive lakeshores, and information was developed that will be considered as the Itasca County Zoning Ordinances are updated.

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

A list of proposed land acquisitions must be provided as part of the required accomplishment plan. ",,"Protected 2,280 acres (in fee without state PILT liability) ",,,,3355400,,,0.31,"MN Deer Hunters Association","Non-Profit Business/Entity","This project protected in fee approximately 1,960 acres in Cass County and 320 acres in Hubbard County of forest habitat that are at significant risk of conversion to row crop agriculture. The project also restored 92 acres jack pine, an increasingly rare tree species, in the project area. ",,"During past decade there has been a significant loss of forest habitat within the Crow Wing River Watershed due to the conversion of that habitat to row crop agriculture and other development. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates that about 42 square miles of pine forest have been cleared or are at elevated risk of being cleared and converted to croplands.  To slow the loss of forest lands and they habitat provided by them, the project protected by acquisition in fee 2,280 acres of high priority habitat within the Crow Wing River Watershed. To achieve the project goals, the acquired fee parcels were transferred to Cass and Hubbard Counties to hold in fee and manage. This project also funded the restoration of 92 acres of jack pine to the landscape. The amount of jack pine within the project area has been significantly reduced through a combination of conversion to row crop agriculture or replacement with other forest cover types such as red pine plantation.  Jack pine is a relatively rare forest type in Minnesota and provides habitat for many unique species. It is well-suited to the sandy soil types in the Crow Wing River Watershed. This project used several forest management tools to restore the jack pine that included site preparation, planting, bud capping and brush control. No herbicides were used for site preparation and brush control. The acquisition of these parcels and the restoration of jack pine forest has provided significant value beyond the protection of key forest habitat. The project will also benefit water quality by conserving forest cover that helps to filter pollutants from percolating through the sandy soils that are prevalent in the Crow Wing River Watershed. It had provided increased public access for hunting and recreational activities. It has also enabled land managers of adjacent state and county lands to easily access those lands for forest management while providing wood fiber from the land to supply local mills. Water quality in the Crow Wing Watershed has become a top priority as a significant number of acres of forestland within the watershed has been converted to row crop agriculture and several irrigation pivots have been installed.  By protecting these lands from conversion, this project will provide increased protection of the surface and ground water, as well as provide sufficient wildlife habitat throughout the area. The Byron Township Land acquisition included approximately 686 acres. Through consolidation of lands into larger blocks, better habitat can be created. Combining these lands with the adjoining County and State management forest lands, a habitat block of nearly 5,800 acres has been permanently protected.   The Poplar Township Land acquisition included approximately 1,274 acres. Combining these lands with the adjoining County and State management forest lands, another habitat block of nearly 4,300 acres has been permanently protected.  Approximately  1.25 miles of Farnham Creek habitat flows through the property. The acquisition also adjoins and buffers the Dry Sand Lake Wildlife Management Area The Badoura Township land acquisition included approximately 240 acres and connects two large blocks of county and state lands, including the Crow Wing Chain W. M. A., providing permanent protection to over 7,500 acres of quality wildlife habitat. The Lake George Township land acquisition included approximately 80 acres of remote forestland that is completely surrounded by existing county-managed lands.  This acquisition protects the 80 acre parcel from potential fragmentation and loss of public recreation.

A portion of Dodd Blvd, a driveway, and the parking lot drain to a stormwater pond at the north end of the park where water is retained, treated, and reused to irrigate two ball fields. This stormwater reuse project was constructed by the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) and the City of Lakeville in 2010 to meet VRWJPO and city goals. Runoff from the park drains into the Middle Creek tributary (reach 546) and downstream to a confluence with North Creek (545) and the Vermillion River (546). Stormwater contributes sediment, nutrients, bacteria, and heat to reaches impaired for bacteria, dissolved oxygen, fish and macroinvertebrates, degrading these resources. A primary cause of the water quality conditions in this subwatershed, and downstream, is the inability to infiltrate water due to tight soils. Dakota County and City of Lakeville plan to reconstruct part of Dodd Blvd just south of King Park in 2016. The project will provide stormwater treatment to meet regulatory requirements, but due to poor soil conditions, infiltration cannot be achieved. A pump and irrigation system will be installed and will use stormwater from the newly constructed stormwater pond to irrigate two additional ball fields. This system will serve as a surrogate for the much needed infiltration, with plans to expand the system to more ball fields in the future.

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

Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were met in any measurable way. MHM's primary goals for the Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology: Anomaly Assessment and ROV Study (LMNA-AA-ROV) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance survey, was to: 1. Examine specific wrecks and anomalies recognized through a sonar survey and determine their significance as submerged cultural resources; and 2. Determine the validity of and the value of using a low-cost Remotely Operated (ROV) in the identification of unknown anomalies, particularly deeper targets. During the LMNA-AA-ROV Project, MHM examined 38 anomalies assigned these numbers: were A84, A76, A88, A90, A113, A117, A125.3, A129.6, A256, A456, A465, A475, A544b, A579, A581, A590, A614, A623, A625, A630, A646, A648, A649, A653, A650, A651, A654, A670, A671, A673, A674, A675, A676, A689, A690, A691, A692, and A694. MHM also dove on 2 known wrecks to answer archaeological questions: the Small Utility Wreck Site (Anomaly 601, now known as the Herter's Model Hudson Bay Wreck) and the Burned Fiberglass Wreck Site (Anomaly 600). MHM also revisited one previously known object, the Anchor, Metal, Glass, and Wood Site (Anomaly 599), to answer questions - it is now known as the Possible Buried Car Site. Using data accumulated from the fieldwork as a starting point, MHM conducted research to place newly recognized nautical archaeological sites and anomalies into their historical contexts. Minnesota Archaeological Site Forms were filed with the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) when appropriate: Fisherman's Friend Wreck 3 (Anomaly 676, 21-HE-499), Wooden Motor Boat Wreck 2 (21-HE-500), Hydroplane Wreck (Anomaly 651, 21-HE-501), Hydroplane Wreck 2 (Anomaly 691, 21-HE-502), Burned Fiberglass Wreck (Anomaly 599, 21-HE-504), and the (maritime site) Marine Launch Boiler Site (Anomaly 117, 21-HE-503). The other wrecks identified during the project are: Jet Stream Wreck (A84), Crestliner Admiral Wreck (A689), and the Forester Canoe Wreck (A694) - MHM and its volunteers confirmed the existence of 7 new wrecks. Initially, the proposed number of anomalies to be investigated were at a minimum - 32 unknown targets along with 2 known wrecks and 1 known object to answer questions about their nature. Therefore, MHM dove on 41 targets as opposed to the minimum number of 32 targets proposed a highly successful project. Seven more wreck sites were included in the on-going Lake Minnetonka sediment study; Bruce Koenen of the OSA suggested the study in 2013 in order to determine the rate of sediment build-up in different areas of the lake. This data is used to approximate the sinking dates of boats and other resources, using wrecks with known sinking dates for comparison. During the LMNA-AA-ROV project, in addition to the submerged resources described above, MHM also identified 5 new maritime sites/objects (1 boat hatch cover, 1 boat lift, 1 capsized barrel raft, a collection of 7 fish cribs, 1 anchor) and 3 other objects/sites (1 rubble pile, 2 barrels). Natural anomalies in include 5 tree stumps (all natural but dumped on the ice/in the lake on purpose), 5 rocks or rock piles, and 14 false targets that were unusual bottom contours or vegetation. MHM's 2nd objective for the LMNA-AA-ROV Project was to test the viability of using a low-cost ROV in deeper water to identify unknown targets in order to plan dives more efficiently and as a by-product, safely. MHM first tested the ROV in shallow water at a shoreline dock, and with practice, the ROV performed well. MHM then tested the ROV on a known relatively shallow (28 feet deep) wreck, testing out different rigs in order to more effectively pilot the robot underwater. The test was successful in that MHM took some photos of the wreck. The next test was on Anomaly 625 in 46 feet of water. MHM had problems navigating the ROV not only on the surface, but on the lake bottom. While the ROV has a depth sensor, the directional sensor is useless and the machine lost communication with the topside laptop several times, resulting in complete re-boots of the ROV and it had to be brought to the surface. Through many trials, MHM finally located Anomaly 625 a tree on the lake bottom. Therefore, while technically successful, in that MHM identified 2 objects on the lake bottom, the use of this generation of ROV is not helpful for MHM's goals and work because of its extreme limitations (see attached). The ROV had directional problems in 28 and 46 feet; the problems would only get exponentially worse in 80, 90, or 100+ feet of water - particularly since sunlight is lost around 70 feet deep, creating virtually a night diving situation. A more advanced - but relatively low-cost - ROV was supposed to be on the market in June 2017 but the manufacturers are behind in development, and it is not yet available. One of MHM''s volunteers has placed an order for one of the units, so MHM will test it in the future to determine its value to underwater archaeology. For now, the ROV tested is only good in shallow water with great visibility conditions MHM only deals with about 20% of the time, and SCUBA divers can perform the work better and faster than an ROV. After the completion of the LMNA-AA-ROV Project fieldwork in September 2017, there are now 66 wreck sites identified on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka (including a dugout canoe that was removed from the lake in 1934). Of these wrecks, 41 of them have 40 Minnesota archaeological site numbers; 2 wrecks are features of one site. Further, 4 other types of maritime sites have archaeological site numbers and there are 25 maritime sites or objects without numbers. Additionally, 27 'other' objects have been identified that do not have site numbers, including 8 vehicles that include a snowmobile, truck, and 6 cars. All the resources dove upon during the LMNA-AA-ROV Project were rudimentarily documented for future study. For those not provided numbers during the project, designations as nautical or maritime archaeological sites in the future is possible; data from this project will be used at that time. The goal of educating volunteer divers on proper search techniques was exceeded-the amount of data collected during the diving, the great attitudes of MHM's volunteers about the sites investigated, and the eagerness to investigate more anomalies to learn about them is rewarding. MHM's plan to educate the general public through social and professional media have also met with great success - including 2 archaeology fairs encompassing 3 days, 2 public speaking engagements and MHM's participation in a University of Minnesota Continuing Education class in September 2017. MHM's 'followers' on social media increased greatly due to the LMNA-AA-ROV Project. Followers have learned about the importance of keeping submerged cultural resources unspoiled and about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota that MHM is continually uncovering. An online dialog about the significance and rarity of Lake Minnetonka's and Minnesota's protected nautical, maritime, and underwater cultural resources is on-going and will continue. During the LMNA-AA-ROV Project, MHM met expectations and produced substantial and meaningful results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, solid methodology employed during the fieldwork, the previous systematic methodology employed during the remote sensing surveys that provided good data, and the utilization of knowledge gained from MHM's other Lake Minnetonka Nautical Archaeology Projects. Further, while the ROV testing did not provide the desired results, MHM has proven that at this time, it is not appropriate to use for serious underwater archaeological studies; it is more of a fun toy for people to play with in shallow water. Investing in more advanced remote sensing sonar equipment (MHM's unit was new and state-of-the-art in 2010, but technological advancements are many and they move quickly) is a better and a time-tested alternative for MHM - acquiring a new unit is a priority. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers choosing only ethical, responsible people who understand our Mission to locate, document, preserve, and conserve Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm led to a productive and honest working environment in the field.

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

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

",,62000,"City of Bemidji ",1602600,,,,"City of Bemidji","Local/Regional Government","After a century of industrial use, the project brought Lake Bemidji's South Shore to its original state. The city removed 1,144 tons of contaminated soil and sediment, 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the lake-bottom and planted native vegetation on the shoreline to restore and enhance aquatic habitat. ","   ","The Lake Bemidji South Shore Restoration and Enhancement project transformed a blighted shoreline and disturbed lake bed of one of northern Minnesota’s finest urban lakes into a model of restoration to its native state, improving water quality and aquatic habitat. The project was the final step of a restoration effort led by the City of Bemidji, in partnership with the Minnesota DNR and DEED. Lake Bemidji is the first major lake in the Upper Mississippi River watershed. It supports a diverse high quality fishery for walleye, northern pike, yellow perch and muskie. These species are dependent on high quality habitats.  The south shore of Lake Bemidji has a long history of industrial use which altered the shoreline and impacted water quality. The site housed several industries, primarily forestry companies. With their closing and/or relocation, the site became a blighted brownfield. Adjacent to downtown Bemidji, the project includes approximately 4/10 mile of shoreline. From 2008-2014, the City of Bemidji partnered with DNR and DEED to clean-up the site and restore the shoreline to its native state. Specifically: -    The City purchased the site and placed it in the MPCA Voluntary Investigation and Clean-Up (VIC) Program, and using a DEED redevelopment grant, cleaned up roughly 50 acres of land. -    The DNR purchased land from the City and extended the Paul Bunyan State Trail through the site. -    The City permanently designated the lakeshore between the trail and the lake as public land. -    The DNR purchased a large parcel of the eastern shoreline as a DNR Aquatic Management Area. Much work remained on the lakeshore and in lake bed. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris from the old Crookston Lumber remained in the lake bottom and along the south shore. The debris covered 1,500 feet of lakeshore extending 200 feet from the shore and ranging from 1 to 4 feet deep.  The lakeshore needed to be restored to its original state, including native vegetation, trees, shrubs and natural erosion control. The land between the trail and the lake (3.1 acres) was replanted with native vegetation, improving water quality and habitat in the lake and 0.6 acre was restored for use by the public as a swimming beach, rest stop along the bike trail, and education area, totaling 3.7 acres restored for ecological and public use. The project returned the south shore of Lake Bemidji to its native state for the first time in a century, improved the shoreline and addressed water quality and aquatic habitat issues in an urban-recreational setting.  Now that restoration and enhancement is complete, the City developed (with funding outside Outdoor Heritage Council support) a regional park that provides public education on water quality and aquatic habitat restoration. The park utilizes roughly 20 percent of the shoreline. The project balances environmental protection and enhancement and public use and education on one of northern Minnesota’s premier lakes. The following was completed with Outdoor Heritage Fund support: Shoreline Restoration:  The historic industrial use of the site altered the south shoreline of Lake Bemidji. The effect was reduced water quality and compromised aquatic habitat. In May 2014, DNR specialists assessed the south shore site and determined the potential of restoring the site. The DNR recommended substantial clean-up and restoration work to improve water quality, habitat and erosion control. The restoration plan included: -    Site monitoring -    Site preparation/treatment of weeds -    Installation of native seed mixes -    Installation of 10,000 native plugs -    Planting 800 (#2) shrubs -    Planting 10 (#10) native trees -    Weed control  -    Installation of erosion control The city is committed to maintaining the improvements long term through its parks and recreation department.  Woody Debris Removal: The City studied the woody debris issue and completed design plans that lowered the lake level with a temporary cofferdam (protecting the fish) and excavating the debris out of the lake.  The City received the following permits: -    DNR Water Permit -    Army Corps of Engineers Permit -    MPCA Solid Waste/Beneficial Reuse -    Section 106 Review -    Bois Forte Band and Leech Lake Band Clearance Letter The construction work was publicly bid and specified the use of a water barrier cofferdam, Aquabarrier, Portadam, or equal. The Engineer reviewed these brands and permits were based on the specifications. MPCA VIC Program costs for remediation of contaminated soil/sediment is a fee program so costs were incurred for review. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of woody debris was removed and replaced with sand. The excavated area extended 200 feet out from the shore, covering 1,440 feet of shoreline and depth of 1 to 4 feet. Overall, 240,000 square feet of Lake Bemidji was cleaned up and restored.  The woody debris was sampled and primarily used as clean backfill on site or properly disposed of if contaminated. Approximately 400 tons of contaminated soil and 750 tons of contaminated sediment/wood debris was managed and disposed of at a permitted landfill. The City spent $63,800 in design and permitting. The estimated cost to restore the lake bed was $1.5 million with vegetation restoration totaling $150,000. The City used Landmark Environmental, LLC and Anderson Engineering of MN for construction management because they designed, assisted in bidding, and acquired permits. The City believed they provided high quality and reasonably priced services. Landmark has staff in Bemidji and engineers and staff traveled from Twin Cities to Bemidji for meetings and construction as needed. Summary: Lake Bemidji is one of northern Minnesota’s most critical natural assets. The City of Bemidji requested and received $1.65 million in Outdoor Heritage funding to complete the shoreline restoration and woody debris removal. The restoration and enhancement improves water quality and habitat to native conditions.  The South Shore Lake Bemidji project was a finalist for a Minnesota Brownfields ReScape Award in 2017 for small city impact.  ",2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Nate,Mathews,"City of Bemidji","317 Fourth Street NW ",Bemidji,MN,56601,"(218) 759-3565",nate.mathews@ci.bemidji.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Beltrami,"Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/lake-bemidji-south-shore-restoration-and-enhancement,,,, 35041,"Lake Nokomis Shoreline Habitat Enhancements",2016,444000,"ML 2015, First Sp.

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

In the last decade, Lake George's lake grade according to Met Council's lake water quality report card has dropped from a consistent A grade to a consistent B grade. The Rum River WRAPS task force has preliminarily identified Lake George as a protection concern. The WRAPS will not, however, provide a specific implementation plan to address this lake resource. In effort to halt, and hopefully reverse the trend of declining water quality the LGID intends to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the lake and throughout the watershed. Before this can be done, project opportunities and their associated costs and benefits must be ascertained. The purpose of this project is to identify water quality improvement opportunities throughout the watershed to achieve water quality management goals.

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

This proposal will help us reach those organizational goals by increasing our adult programming. Through our programming we will engage over 500 adults and children in high quality arts experiences, creating a deeper connection between the artist and audience, and building a stronger arts community in Fergus Falls. We will provide a variety of events that appeal to different audiences and will hopefully bring more people into the gallery. We record attendance to every gallery event and will measure initial success by meeting our attendance goals. Impact will be measured indirectly through guest book comments, new mailing list sign ups, and increased attendance to future events and workshops. We will directly measure impact through surveys to both our general audience and to the workshop participants. We have already begun a process to gain feedback from our general audience through an email survey asking what events they attend and why or why they don't attend events, which will be sent out later this year. We will follow this up next year with another survey, which can follow up on the events outlined in this proposal as well. We can also compare attendance data from 2016 workshops and events to 2017 workshops and events to see if they have improved.

For the proposed outreach activities, our goals are to educate children about theater and music and to provide them with tools that engage art and physical exercise as well as to introduce them to the environment of a gallery. For our area seniors, our goals are perhaps more simple: to brighten their day. The Center relies on audience surveys for public performances and tailors each survey for the specific event. Many of these questions concern the audience's perception of the quality of the artwork. We also ask the performance group to contribute specific questions as a form of feedback for them. Perhaps because of our intimate performance space, one which prompts a good bit of socializing, often around a refreshment table, our survey return rate is fairly high. In addition, the use of informal conversations initiated by staff with audience members during intermission and after performances, yield useful data. For outreach at the care centers and senior center, the Center will speak informally with administrators after each workshop.","Oral comments were positive.

Reach an expanded audience. 2. Produce and Present a new body of work for The Traveling Museum. 3. Share The Traveling Museum experience with multiple communities. 4. Establish relationships and secure exhibits/events beyond the grant cycle. We will be able to measure the number of attendees to publisized community events. Within the framework of the gallery we will offer an opportunity for visitors to leave feedback in a comment book and denote community of residence. Discussions via social media will help us determine projects and programming that may be of interest to specific communities and groups for future programs and projects. The nature of public art means there are a number of passive participants – individuals who will see the Traveling Museum, think about the Traveling Museum, possibly have a conversation with someone about the Traveling Museum but not necessarily actively enter or participate in the programming. It is our opinion, while difficult to asses this type of private recognition, it will most certainly become part of the the communities shared psyche and ultimately play a part in the community’s overall interest in supporting and understanding the value of the arts. The production timeline for the new body of work to be presented in The Traveling Museum’s first season will begin June 15, 2013. While creating artwork we will simultaneously be constructing the Traveling Museum in time for its first exhibit in December of 2013. The Museum will travel to three lakes in the Winter of 2013/14. A recollection exhibit in June of 2014 will summarize and present the successful fulfillment of this exhibition/programming objective. The measure of successful partnership and project development will be evaluated by our ability to secure new locations and activities for the Traveling Museum.

We predicted The Traveling Museum would have 3 to 4 local activities within the grant period with the hope there would be initial interest for programming from outside sources after the grant cycle. To date we have had five public activities well beyond the local region and four more events scheduled through September. We have successfully partnered with a variety of entities from individuals to organizations. Ongoing interest in and demand for more Traveling Museum projects was to be our ultimate litmus test.

Provide youth with the skills and tools to take music outside of the classroom and past the printed page. 2. Instill in young people an abiding love of music that results in lifelong engagement on many levels; playing, attending concerts, supporting the arts and teaching. 3. Increase each student’s understanding and skill in music, and provide an opportunity to perform in public. 4. Provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of instrumental technique for brass instruments. 5. Provide a chance for community members to experience live brass quintet music.In the context of a short-term, three-day residency, there are several indicators that The Copper Street Brass Quintet will monitor and stay attuned to evaluate the success of the residency. They include: 1. Students who are engaged – asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2. Improved instrumental playing – band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3. A successful Combined Performance – a full audience, including students and their parents 4. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with The Copper Street Brass Quintet. 5. The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves. The Copper Street Brass Quintet utilizes a student feedback survey to measure overall reaction to the program, best and worst portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The CSBQ also stays on stage after each concert and invites conversation from audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage. This is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on The Copper Street Brass Quintet’s impact on their child.","My students did a written evaluation after the residency.

Quantitative evaluation of post project participation levels versus benchmark data from before the project. 3. Qualitative evaluation of post project completion surveys and member response weighed against community needs identified at the projects genesis. 4. Qualitative evaluation through a survey of our participants, including 65% of respondents providing positive summative feedback on the space, its effectiveness and usability. Respondent pool will include both participants (directors, students, designers who use the space) as well as Alexandria Area Arts Association members.","The evaluation results were unilaterally high. We wanted 65% of respondents to give positive summative feedback and received 95%. We also learned much through the evaluation process, including the need for greater break out spaces, and that most respondents didn't like the support pillars in the room (though structurally there is nothing we can do about that - we did invest in new, much smaller support columns). Additional comments included the desire for mirrors for movement work, and sound-proofing the room. However, one respondent summed up the space thusly: ''Can't wait until the flooring is in! Was great to have a place for the larger group to sprawl out in, and access to the basement bathrooms and board room (where lunch was served) made it very handy.

It seems that we receive more worthwhile feedback from these conversations than from boxes marked on a survey. We’ve also taken to having feedback jars at most of our events where participants can drop a penny into a jar indicating their appreciation (or not) of an event. We change the titles with events, but basically we’re trying to find out some basic feedback. Did they love it/should we bring them back? Was it simply a decent night out? Or, was it at least better than cleaning the shower. While a bit humorous, we’ve found that people’s answers do help us gauge success. To that end, if funded, we will continue with program evaluations by organizers, an occasional survey, numerous conversations with participants and the feedback jars.","The Cantus visit revealed a hunger for classical choral music in our region (so we booked two groups for this season).

To give the public and students opportunities to observe and interact with the artist as the project progresses, c.

The difficulty was the conclusion at the end of the sessions where that consultants were also stymied as to what granting organizations want. Surveys are still acceptable, to some extent, but our audiences have become complacent. At the conclusion of the 2012/13 season Survey Monkey was used to contact the Center Series patrons and our e-mailing list. Over 1400 e-mails were sent, twice, with a response rate of 18. In the Executive Directors opinion the best workshop was conducted in Morris by Lakes Region Arts Council. The ideas were innovative and exciting but not yet acceptable to most granters. A Center for the Arts will, with our next show on the 13/14 season, experiment with those workshop ideas and suggestions from staff. Many low tech” for our patrons. We will include a red and a green piece of paper in every playbill at A Center for the Arts performances.

To feature Pope County as a viable venue for plein air artists because of its variety of landscape including prairie, lakes, agricultural lands, and interesting historical buildings, 2. To offer children an opportunity to learn and paint plein air in their community, 3. To provide the community with a high quality art show and opportunity to purchase art with Pope County sites as subjects, 4. To build an appreciation of plein air painting by exposing community residents to a high quality arts experience that is personally relevant to them.I, and The Copper Street Brass Quintet, will provide an evaluation of the residency in three ways: 1) in-class responses from the students, 2) exit surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance, and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination. I have worked with The Copper Street Brass Quintet to develop and utilize a feedback survey that we will print (and post online) to measure overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The Copper Street Brass Quintet stays in the classroom and on stage after each performance and invites conversation from students and/or audience members. This informal audience feedback is an immediate reflection of their effectiveness on stage. This is also an opportunity to hear from parents and receive their perspective on The Copper Street Brass Quintet’s impact on their child. In the context of a short-term, two-day residency, there are several indicators that The Copper Street Brass Quintet will monitor and stay attuned to evaluate the success of the residency. They include: 1. Students who are engaged - asking questions, participating in activities, and volunteering to play. This is a strong indicator that kids are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. 2. Improved instrumental playing - band members will be more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to ensemble playing. 3. Concert attendance and crowd interaction with The Copper Street Brass Quintet at their evening performance.","The results were improved sound quality and performance techniques in my brass sections and higher level thinking in regard to how they participate/perform in an ensemble.

Involve 40 adult community members to participate in the production of ''dancing lights.'' 2. Involve 30 school-age youth to participate in the production of ''dancing lights.'' 3. Have an audience of 260 adults and 170 youth view the ''dancing lights'' production. 4. Make the entire ''dancing lights'' experience multi-generational and family centered.In this first year of the project, we will consider it a success if 25% of visitors (about 3,000 people) listen to at least three stops. We will use the online stop count tools to estimate this. We will also walk through the museum occasionally to observe peoples' interaction with the stops. In the first few months, we will reposition any stop signs which visitors seem not to notice, to increase their visibility. To measure the success of our advertising, our greeters will ask some of the visitors whether they were familiar with the tour stop feature of our museum before arriving. We will ask for feedback from our greeters, to learn how most visitors respond to the introduction to OnCell, and whether we can improve the messaging. Visitors can leave audio comments for us on the OnCell system, which we will monitor to gauge satisfaction and note any need for improvement. Finally, we will have a one question paper exit survey asking how much the OnCell tour stops added to their visit, and a space for written comments, either positive or critical. While we won't be able to collect a survey from each person who used OnCell, we hope to collect surveys from about 10% of those users, approximately 300 per year. It would be very difficult to measure an increase in number of visitors solely due to our having the OnCell program, because of normal year-to-year fluctuations. However, we will note the difference between Fiscal Year 2013 and Fiscal Year 2014 visitors.","1. OnCell's Statistics: This provided the size of the audience given above. There were about 500 total cell phone call and mobile access visits from 270 people. Most were from Minnesota residents. We will have approximately the same size audience annually. 2. Visitor audio feedback: Some visitors provided more information about artifacts, showing that they were engaged. We received positive comments through audio feedback, too. The gist of them is that they enjoyed the experience, valued it, found the pieces concise and pleasant to listen to. 3. Large sign, verbal explanation: The best way to gauge peoples' reaction to the tour stops is when we show them the sign and explain the use of OnCell.

This way I will be able to see the growth or decline of interest and gauge the need for added publicity and recruiting.","The evaluation results were very positive in showing attendants thoroughly enjoyed their experience with the projects. I was able to take feedback and advice to better the next event, and even create a few new opportunities that I had not thought about. The greatest difference from my initial project was working with the two individuals who are now pursuing ceramics in a serious way. I spent a much larger time working with these individuals than I expected would happen when I began this project. And the outcome was much greater, exactly what I had hoped for. Being able to be a part of the influence in David's decision to pursue ceramics at an academic level, and provide the beginning process of instilling a passion in the Arts for Andrew made this project worthwhile.",,,,11980,,,0.00,"Samuel L.

The shallow lakes and large marshes that remain now serve as the core of Minnesota’s remaining waterfowl habitat complexes, and are often those basins that were too deep to drain. These remaining wetlands now receive excessive water and nutrient runoff from a highly altered and intensively drained landscape, and are easily accessed by invasive fish such as common carp. As a result, many basins are now turbid and degraded due to high, stable water levels that allow carp and other invasive fish to proliferate and aquatic ecology to stagnate. The results is a lack of aquatic plants and invertebrates required to sustain migrating and breeding waterfowl, especially those species that rely on aquatic foods exclusively such as diving ducks.As a result, ducks migrating through Minnesota on their way north to breed in spring find sparse aquatic food resources, much to their detriment further north, and also again in the fall when their passage through Minnesota appears briefer each year. Those waterfowl that remain here to breed find poor brood-rearing habitat, as shallow lakes and marshes have a paucity of high quality wetland habitat with abundant aquatic plants and invertebrate food resources on which young ducks rely. These factors have contributed to a decline in Minnesota’s diverse waterfowl resources and, unfortunately, a decline in Minnesota’s rich waterfowling traditions.To remedy this situation, Ducks Unlimited’s “Living Lakes Initiative” assists the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and other conservation partners to enhance and restore Minnesota’s shallow lakes and wetlands. This grant supported Phase 2 of Ducks Unlimited's biological and engineering work to design and construct water control structures and fish barriers. DU biologists worked closely with Minnesota DNR Shallow Lakes Program biologists to assess wetland conditions and identify possible management solutions. DU biologists and engineers surveyed, designed, and constructed the water control infrastructure necessary for state and federal agency staff to actively manage water levels. Funding in this request also supported ongoing shallow lake technical assistance from DU biologists and engineers to assess, survey, and design future projects for implementation under future OHF appropriations.Most enhancement work occured in the Prairie Region by design, as that is where waterfowl are in most need of habitat improvements.  Structures are used by agency managers to simulate natural temporary drought cycles in shallow lakes and wetlands that rejuvenate the aquatic ecological process that produces abundant aquatic plants and invertebrates. These structures last for 30 or more years and are generally use by agency staff every 5-7 years to conduct periodic temporary draw-downs that are key to enhancing and maintaining highly productive wetlands. Importantly, DU also restored smaller wetlands on public and other protected land near shallow lakes. Shallow lakes were selected for enhancement by DNR and FWS managers, and generally enjoy strong support from the public for improvement. The Minnesota DNR holds public meetings to share information on the current condition and management plan for shallow lakes designated for wildlife management purposes.PlanningEvery statewide conservation plan recognizes the need for improving and protecting Minnesota’s shallow lakes and associated wetlands for optimal wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR’s Duck Recovery Plan is the most specific, calling for the active management of 1,800 shallow lakes and adding 64,000 restored wetlands to Minnesota’s landscape. DU’s Living Lakes Initiative supports this plan through a goal of improving 300 Minnesota shallow lakes in 10 years. Shallow lakes and wetlands are identified as critical habitat for several “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” listed in Minnesota’s “Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild & Rare: An Action Plan for Minnesota Wildlife”, including lesser scaup, northern pintail, and trumpeter swan.Importantly, Ducks Unlimited’s Living Lakes Initiative directly address Minnesota’s Statewide Conservation & Preservation Plan Habitat Recommendations #4 and #5 on pages 78 and 80, respectively, which calls for the restoration and protection of shallow lakes (page 78) and the restoration of land, wetlands, and watersheds (page 80). This program addresses the LSOHC priorities of wetland and shallow lake restoration and enhancement in the Prairie and Forest-Prairie Transition sections. Finally, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan’s Prairie Pothole Joint Venture prioritizes the restoration and management of wetlands and shallow lakes through goals and objectives for improved brood-rearing and migration habitat for ducks. Many of the shallow lakes and wetlands prioritized for enhancement by DU are located within wetland habitat complexes identified by the US Fish & Wildlife Service’s Strategic Habitat Conservation model and are high priority basins for both Service and Minnesota DNR field managers. DU shallow lake and wetland enhancement work is performed in close coordination and collaboration with either the Minnesota DNR or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and these agencies assume all future management and operation responsibilities for water control structures designed and installed by DU.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Freeborn, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Murray, Otter Tail, Sibley, Stearns, Wadena, Wright","Forest Prairie Transition, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/living-shallow-lakes-and-wetlands-initiative-phase-2,,,, 36608,"Living Legends of Cottonwood County - Competitive Award",2016,8000,"2015 Minn.

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

While tolerance, peace, and harmony are hard to measure, it is hoped that through continuing performances reaching a broader audience, those values will be thought about in greater capacity. Also, the desire is for people to have a new awareness of their neighbors, change their attitude if needed to one of welcome and acceptance, and to recognize and focus on similarities instead of differences. Feedback will be sought from event planners regarding comments heard about each performance. Interviews with dance participants will be conducted to verify how their outreach has progressed.","Performance expectations were well met and favorable comments were given regarding the authenticity of the costumes, head dress, and dance techniques.

We will install at least 350 linear feet of restored lakeshore and 3,000 sq ft of native plant stormwater treatment with an emphasis on bioengineering techniques, native plants and locating buffers/swales/rain gardens at points of concentrated overland flow into the lake. By targeting properties that are eroding and/or with concentrated overland flow to the lake we will reduce suspended solids discharge by 6,300 lbs/yr and phosphorus by 0.6 lbs/yr. We will also establish emergent native plants which indirectly improve water quality. This project has two purposes. First is to improve water quality in this impaired lake. The area presently has no stormwater treatment. Lakeshore buffers placed at locations with concentrated overland flow to the lake will serve as the only stormwater treatment in the drainage area, achieving large first cut reductions for the entire up-gradient area. Second, the project is part of a larger effort to change the culture of intense lakeshore manicuring that impacts water quality at this lake and others. Grant funds are sought to expand a 7 year-old program by the Long Lake Improvement District (LLID) for near-shore water quality projects. That program has installed 19 projects to date, but present demand exceeds locally available funding. Each project will require an erosion correction component, using bioengineering techniques and native vegetation. The Isanti SWCD will use grant funds to provide a sub-grant to the Long Lake Improvement Association (LLIA) for project installations. The Long Lake Improvement District (LLID) will contribute to the project by providing cash match ($4,800 annually) and managing project installations in cooperation with Hayland Woods Native Nursery.

This task was completed in 2020. ","   ","From early concept design and feasibility assessments to on-the-ground construction, the SLRRI followed a programmatic, partner-driven approach to implement large, complex, aquatic restoration projects.  Conceptual designs were developed around specific restoration goals and objectives.  These designs recognized and integrated current knowledge of natural processes in the St. Louis River.  Throughout the formal design process, SLRRI involved a Restoration Site Team (RST) composed of local resource managers, experts, researchers, and stakeholders.  The RST contributed expertise and knowledge, reviewed the design at various points throughout the process, and provided input and recommendations.  This involvement contributed greatly to the goal of designing resilient, self-sustaining habitat components that met project goals and objectives.     Grassy Point and Kingsbury Bay: SLRRI is completing restorations at Grassy Point and Kingsbury Bay as a combined project. Project objectives include excavation of accumulated sediments from Kingsbury Bay to restore open water wetlands and coastal marsh habitats.  MNDNR will beneficially use the clean sediments removed from Kingsbury Bay to remediate wood waste impairments at Grassy Point and facilitate the establishment of healthy open-water wetland. The project will construct a complex of created islands that will shelter the bay behind them. The islands will also increase the overall project site diversity by supporting healthy upland and littoral functions. Funds from this appropriation were used by SLRRI to manage and coordinate all steps necessary to advance these large, complex restoration projects. The SLRRI also applied ML2016 funds to project design, engineering, and construction contracts.  The SLRRI awarded a contract to Barr Engineering in March 2017 to complete the project design using funds from the OHF and the USEPA - GLRI. The design process was completed with input from the public and technical partners on the RST. A Heath Impact Assessment (HIA) was completed by the USEPA, which incorporated additional public input to evaluate the impact of the design on fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, and other public health-related issues. No funding from OHF was used for the HIA. The findings of the HIA showed a positive social health outcome by implementing the MNDNR Draft Final Design. A Record of Decision pertaining to the state's Environmental Review was issued, and all necessary permits and agreements were obtained. The Final Design and bid documents were completed in March 2018. In April 2019, a construction contract was awarded to Veit, Inc. Construction began in June 2019. Major activities completed in 2019 included: underwater buttress and berm construction at Grassy Point, sediment excavation at Kingsbury Bay with beneficial use at Grassy Point, and non-native cattail removal at Kingsbury Bay. Construction resumed in spring 2020; over 120,000 cubic yards of legacy wood waste were removed from the waters of Grassy Point, and used to construct a series of islands.  At Kingsbury Bay, the remaining non-native cattails were removed, as well as excess sediments.  The clean sediments were beneficially used to cap the constructed island features at Grassy Point, and to restore benthic habitat at both Grassy Point and a nearby project at 40th Avenue West (led by the MPCA, see below).  Channel control structures (j-hooks, boulder vanes, and log sills) were constructed at the inlets to Kingsbury and Keene Creeks.  During the 2020 construction season, it became apparent that production rates would extend the completion of both projects into 2021.  The project is currently scheduled for completion in fall 2021. 40th Avenue West This is a ""remediation to restoration"" project being completed under the St. Louis River Area of Concern program and led by the MPCA.  At 40th Avenue West, MPCA constructed six underwater shoals to eliminate contaminant exposure pathways and restore shallow sheltered bay habitat to improve fish, wildlife, and native plant communities.  The shoals were completed in 2018. The project's design included a six-inch application of ""biomedium"" over the completed shoal features.  Biomedium describes clean sediment rich in organic material, plant propagules, and benthic macroinvertebrates and is intended to ""jump start"" bug and plant communities on the constructed features. After the sediments in Kingsbury Bay were characterized, MNDNR and MPCA identified an opportunity to collaborate by beneficially using approximately 19,000 cubic yards of the dredged Kingsbury Bay sediments as biomedium to cover a 27-ac portion of the shoals. This work was completed in 2020.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service enhanced 700 acres of wetland and bottomland forest habitat on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge’s (Refuge) Root River Tract in Houston County. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) restored 112.7 acres of bluff prairie in Houston County; 8 acres of deep water habitat in Goose Lake (navigation pool 5 of the Mississippi River) and enhanced 200 acres of secondary channel and backwater lake habitat in North and Sturgeon Lakes (navigation pool 3 of the Mississippi River). ",,"Root River Tract (RRT):  Project planning and design included site elevation surveys, development of hydrologic models and analysis of restoration alternatives.  Recommended features to restore hydrologic connectivity included: removal of existing water control structures, installation of ditch plugs and breaching of existing low level levees and dikes.   A public informational meeting to seek input on a preliminary project plan was held and feedback from that meeting used to refine project alternatives.   A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) which evaluated four alternatives for restoring/enhancing the RRT was completed and released for a 30-day public comment period in September 2015.  A public meeting to discuss the proposed project and draft EA was held in October 2015.  Responses to comments received were provided in the final EA.  A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the preferred alternative was signed by the Regional Director, Region 3 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in January 2015.   Restoring natural topography and drainage patterns required removal of existing dikes/levees; construction of ditch plugs using fill materials excavated from existing dikes/levees; removal of existing water control structures; and filling of an existing fish pond with materials excavated from existing dikes/levees.  Plans and specifications for completing this work were developed and local, State and Federal permits were acquired.  Work was accomplished through a combination of contracts and skilled hired labor workers in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  Heavy equipment (track trucks, backhoes, skid steers, etc.) was used to accomplish the work.  Large rainfall events in the watershed of the Root River created several floods in 2016 which affected project completion.  In September 2016, flooding on the Root River resulted in a levee breach that brought large amounts of floodwater from the Root  into the project area.  While this flooding delayed completion of some of the project features, it created a unique opportunity to observe how the project would function under flood conditions.  As a result of first-hand, on-site observations of flood waters entering and exiting the project site, project features were modified to enhance the overall hydrologic function of the project. In 2017, installation of low water crossings at locations where trials/roads traveling through the project area crossed restored river channels, oxbows and sloughs, finishing ditch plugs, native seeding, forest enhancement (planting of hard mast trees and flood plain species) and final grading of the project was completed.  Wet conditions and high Mississippi and Root River levels delayed completion of final project features in 2017.   The original goal for wetland and forest enhancement was to restore or enhance 700 acres.  That goal was achieved on time and under budget.  Approximately $299,612 was expended on the Root River project.  The cost of this project component was estimated at $450,000.   Bluff Prairie Restoration:  Bluff prairies, also known as “goat prairies” are a unique and rare habitat in southeastern Minnesota.  Goat prairies are found typically on south or west facing slopes.  Many if not most of these prairies are negatively affected by the invasion of tree species, in particular, red cedar trees.  Removal of red cedar trees as well as other trees from these prairies enhances light penetration to the vegetative layer under the trees and invigorates dormant/shaded prairie plants and seeds.  Restoring a natural fire regime through controlled burning on these sites further enhances prairie development.  Selection of prairies for restoration was based on public ownership and/or willingness of private landowners to have worked completed on their property.  Work was accomplished by contract to businesses familiar with goat prairie restoration techniques.  The original goal for bluff prairie restoration under this grant was to restore 70 acres.  The final bluff prairie acreage restored was 112.7 acres on 8 sites.  This project component was completed, on time, on budget ($150,000 spent) and exceeded the project acreage objective. Pool 3 (North and Sturgeon Lakes) – Pool 5 (Goose Lake):  This project component initially involved multiple habitat restoration/enhancement objectives using established large river restoration techniques such as water level management, channel modifications, island building and dredging. A “cost-share partnership agreement” between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Minnesota DNR was needed to fully execute the project, however, the federally funded portion of the project was placed in deferment until the language associated with partnership agreement and future project management could be amended to satisfy legal requirements. Based on these challenges, an amendment to the accomplishment plan for Pool 3 was approved on July 10, 2015 which reduced the dollar amount of leverage expected from the Federal Government and the potential scope of the project. An additional amendment was submitted and approved in March 2016 which added Goose Lake (Pool 5) as a project site and defined that portion of the Pool 3 project to only include a channel modification at the Brewer Lake inlet. Approximately $500,000 Federal dollars were leveraged and spent on planning and development of preliminary project specifications and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the larger project. Products from this planning effort were used to develop final plans and specs and to obtain the necessary permits for the LSOH funded channel modification project.  In 2016, 8 acres of Goose Lake was dredged to a depth of 7 feet to restore fisheries habitat. Backwater habitats are declining as a result of sedimentation. Dredging to restore depth in backwaters benefits many aquatic species by providing habitat suited for overwintering.  Permits were secured and a contract for the channel modification project at Brewer Lake inlet was awarded in April 2017. Placement of a rock channel liner and shoreline protection was performed from barge mounted heavy equipment. Construction was completed in the spring of 2018. Pre-project monitoring of habitat conditions, fish populations and freshwater mussel populations was completed before construction. The project has achieved the desired outcome of reducing Mississippi River flows and sedimentation rates in Brewer Lake, Buffalo Slough and Sturgeon Lake. The physical and biological response expected would improve aquatic habitat conditions for fish and mussels and protection of floodplain forest communities for a variety of bird and mammal species.  ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim,Yager,"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","51 E. 4th Street",Winona,MN,55987,507-494-6219,timothy_yager@fws.gov,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Dakota, Goodhue, Houston","Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/lower-mississippi-river-habitat-partnership,,,, 27954,"Lower Minnesota River Watershed Targeted BMP Installations in Tributary and Near Channel Stream Watersheds, Scott County",2014,126400,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session chapter 137","Projects and Practices 2014","This project will result in an estimated 26% reduction in total phosphorus.","This project resulted in an estimated annual reduction of 487.3 lbs of phosphorus, 487.3 tons of sediment, 718.9 tons per year of soil loss.","achieved proposed outcomes",151609,"LOCAL LEVERAGED FUNDS",126400,,,,"Scott SWCD","Local/Regional Government","This project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading to the main stem and local tributaries of the Lower Minnesota River (LMR) by providing cost share for practices that treat ravine headcut and channel erosion, streambank/shoreline erosion, ephemeral gully erosion, and direct-discharging open inlet drainage systems.

Non-OHF funds were applied to complete feasibility and design in order to optimize application of construction funds. The resulting sheltered bay provides critical coastal wetland habitat for many species of fish and wildlife that utilize the St. Louis River estuary. Wild rice was also established in the bay after construction as part of the separate Wild Rice Restoration Project.Prior to restoration activities, wood waste covered almost the entire open-water portion of the bay. Wood waste was also present under areas of emergent vegetation. Depth of wood waste ranged from 0.2 feet to 3.3 feet. The average water depth was approximately one foot. Although the bay was relatively shallow, submergent and emergent vegetation were only present along the perimeter of the bay. Shallow water depths also limited ecological function of the bay as well as its recreational value to anglers and other boaters.Approximately 115,000 cubic yards of wood waste and wood sediment mixes were removed from Radio Tower Bay. The material was pumped to a dewatering site on US Steel property and was beneficially reused to restore their Superfund site after remediation. The Project resulted in increasing the average water depth of the bay from one foot to 3.7 feet and increased the maximum depth from 2.3 feet to 7.4 feet. A 5.5-acre area with an average water depth of 7.5 feet and channel depth of 5.0 feet will act as a connection between the St. Louis River and the bay, which creates off-river, overwintering fish habitat and improves access for boaters. The bed of Radio Tower Bay is now composed of native silt, unconsolidated organic matter, and clay substrates that have been exposed by the removal of wood waste. Wild Rice was seeded in approximately 15 acres of Radio Tower Bay in 2015 and 2016. Previously seeding areas will be reseeded in 2017 if necessary.All objectives were met and all construction activities went as planned. The technique to grind up wood and sediment mixes and hydraulically pump them to a dewatering facility for drying was revolutionary. The resulting clean organic material was deemed highly desirable as a substrate to restore remediated areas on the US Steel Superfund Site. After removal of material, the dewatering facility will continue to function and will be used to dewater wood waste from Mud Lake (ML2018 OHF proposal), which will substantially reduce the cost of the project.Knowlton CreekThe Knowlton Creek Watershed Project restored and enhanced approximately 6,500 linear feet of cold-water stream habitat using Natural Channel Design techniques. Construction outcomes were successful in eliminating erosion and transport of sediment along all reaches restored. Brook trout migration was established or enhanced along 3,000 feet of the stream (the remaining length was too steep). The Project was completed after Spirit Mountain Recreation Area constructed water control structures at the base of their ski hill to transport excess runoff away from Knowlton Creek and directly to the estuary through the pipe used to transport water from the estuary for snow making. This was a revolutionary partnership and methodology. The Project was designed through a MNDNR/USACE partnership with no OHF funding. The restoration methodology applied was a geomorphologic approach appropriate for the hydrology following the Natural Channel Design methodology (Applied River Morphology, Rosgen, 1996).Construction of in-stream structures (boulder jam steps, boulder jam riffles, toe wood, pocket pools and log vanes with boulder hooks) will improve aquatic habitat diversity and stabilize the bed. Native upland grasses and forbes were planted as well as approximately 15,000 trees along the riparian corridor. During construction, MNDNR, Stantech, Veit/Cardno’s field staff worked together to compile construction observation reports and note deviations from the site plans. Overall, the project implementation partners were very effective at addressing project level circumstances. There were a number of design changes that resulted from conditions encountered in the field. Coordination with project partners such as the City of Duluth, Cloquet Pumping Station, Spirit Mountain, MNDOT, private landowners, as well as, resource professionals within the MNDNR, MPCA and USACE was key to the success of the project. In some instances, earlier coordination of the more critical elements of the project would have eliminated some of the additional implementation time needed to complete the restoration.21st Ave W/Interstate IslandThe scope of Interstate Island was to restore colonial waterbird nesting and young rearing habitat through the addition of sand and gravel, vegetation management, and management of the ring-billed population, thereby contributing to implementation of Actions 1.32 and 1.361 in the Recovery Plan for the Great Lakes Piping Plover. Reproductive success of Common Terns nesting on Interstate Island was degraded due to the low elevation of part of the island, vegetation encroachment, and competition for nesting space from ring-billed gulls.The Project was designed by MNDNR with no OHF funding. The contractor placed 730 linear feet of temporary silt fencing, 3,276 cubic yards of clean beach sand, 610 cubic yards of cobble rip-rap, 28 cubic yards of surface amendments (pebbles & gravel), and 620 linear feet of sediment control log. MN & WDNR staff and volunteers removed all fenced gull exclosures and string grids prior to construction. These were replaced in spring of 2016 as part of regular departmental Piping Plover/Common Tern monitoring and management efforts. Common Terns have been successfully using the enhanced habitat since the Project was completed.Wild Rice (Rask Bay)A total of 133 acres of wild rice was restored at several locations in the St. Louis River estuary in 2015 and 2016. Previously seeded location were reseeded in 2017 as needed. Additionally, WDNR and the MN Land Trust restored 83 acres of wild rice beds on the Wisconsin side of the estuary. National Fish & Wildlife Foundation applied $400K and no OHF funding was applied to restoration work on the Wisconsin side of the estuary.

Throughout the interview process many community members were contacted and started speaking to each other about Lyle history. The final presentation was well attended with many people staying more than an hour after its conclusion to discuss Lyle history and share photos and stories. Many more people are thinking about and becoming involved in Lyle history than before the project was undertaken. One attendee at the presentation said she talked to people about Lyle history that she's been meaning to talk to for years. Metric: Expand MCHS capabilities and experience to include oral history archive creation, distribution and storage Indicator: MCHS undertakes additional oral history projects in the future Outcome: Achieved. While it is a little early to measure yet, MCHS now has the necessary equipment and future projects can use this project and its materials as a starting point. Already one person has approached MCHS with ideas about an oral history project she'd like to work on. Future projects will build on the lessons learned during this project and will be easier to start. Metric: The interviews will help fill in holes for timeframes not covered in past Lyle history books Indicator: Interviews provide quotable passages and reveal possible new topics for further research Outcome: Achieved. A number of topics were covered that were not previously documented in Lyle history books such as the closing the the Bethel Alliance church, activities of the volunteer fire department and the breakup of the Trinity Lutheran Parish. Metric: The oral history interviews will help the community of Lyle document its history for its 150th anniversary in 2020. Indicator: Use of the interviews by people or organizations performing ativities related to the 150th anniversary of Lyle. Outcome: Achieved. There are many passages and interesting stories in the oral history that will be useful for a planned book for the 150th anniversary of the town of Lyle. Metric: This project will make all the interviews publicly accissible at MCHS in both video and text transcription formats. Copies will be archived according to current standars to ensure long-term availability. Indicator: Number of people requesting access to the oral history interviews Outcome: Achieved. All materials are publicly accessible.

The reconstructed storefront doors now provide egress to meet codes for spaces used for assembly. This will allow us to expand our programs and productions and achieve financial sustainability. The new storefront has brought much attention to our historic building and our organization. This is proving to be a great impetus to rehabilitation of Virginia's Historic Downtown Commercial District. A grassroots organization of downtown business owners called ReVive Virginia has recently been successful in obtaining grant funding to purchase a vacant building to renovate and kick off a revolving program to provide updated commercial space for new businesses. The Lyric Storefront Reconstruction Project was widely supported by our community. This is shown by the overwhelming contribution of in-kind materials and volunteer hours which helped us complete the project with the funds available through grants and cash donations. Energy efficiency was a built-in component to this project. New insulation and insulated glass panels and heavy Douglas Fir doors have replaced the old aluminum and single pane glass that was installed in the 1970's. The prism glass transoms will reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day time.

",,"Enhance 5,100 acres of wetlands ",,8478000,"Federal Funds ",2630000,,,,DNR,"State Government","The primary goal of the Marsh Lake Ecosystem Restoration Project is, “To return the Marsh Lake area ecosystem to a less degraded and more natural condition by restoring ecosystem structure and functions.”  Work was completed on this project in March 2020 and consisted of a new water control structure to allow for water level management, restoration of the Pomme de Terre River to its original channel, and establishment of a fishway to allow for movement of native fish. ",,"Marsh Lake is an impoundment of the Minnesota River in west-central Minnesota near Appleton. Marsh Lake was created in the late 1930s by construction of a dam which resulted in a shallow lake that measured approximately 5,000 acres. The lower Pomme de Terre River was rerouted into the reservoir at that time to facilitate construction of a two mile long earthen dike that was required to impound the lake. The Marsh Lake Dam is owned and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Lac qui Parle Flood Risk Management project. Marsh Lake lies within the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area.Marsh Lake is the border between Big Stone and Lac qui Parle Counties, while most of the outlet area of Marsh Lake is located in Swift County. The original construction of the Marsh Lake Dam was intended to serve as a flood damage reduction measure and to provide a recreational feature to the region by creating a static pool on the river. The intended flood damage reduction benefits provided by the Marsh Lake Dam were minor due to effectiveness of the downstream Lac qui Parle Dam. Since the time of impoundment, Marsh Lake has undergone significant degradation of aquatic habitat due to stressors including high sediment and nutrient loading, a fixed crest dam that prevents low seasonal water levels, high turbidity from wind-driven sediment resuspension, and abundant common carp that increase turbidity and consume submersed aquatic vegetation and macroinvertebrates. Degradation of the Marsh Lake aquatic ecosystem limited habitat suitability for many species of fish and wildlife. The overall habitat conditions were poor with turbid water conditions. Concerns by stakeholders over the habitat conditions eventually resulted in the Marsh Lake Ecosystem Restoration Project with a primary goal of improving fish and wildlife habitat by returning the Marsh Lake to a less degraded and more natural condition with snatural functions and processes. Major project features include construction of a drawdown water control structure, restoring the Pomme de Terre River to its original channel, modifying the existing low-head dam into a notched weir/rock arch rapids fishway, and construction of one mile of new roadway/earthen dike. The project also restores 1.3 miles of natural stream habitat and provides complete fish passage from the Minnesota River into Marsh Lake. . Water Control Structure - The drawdown structure was constructed west of the existing emergency spillway. Excavation for the structure’s outflow channel extended about 650 feet downstream of the embankment. The intake for the structure required excavation to deepen the approach and placement of new rip‐rap to protect the structure. Sheetpile was buried under the concrete structure to minimize seepage. A 60‐ft long section of the channel bed immediately downstream of the concrete spillway was lined with a 33‐inch layer of rip‐rap over 12‐inch bedding. A 100‐ft long dredge maintenance access ramp was built from the top of the west embankment into Marsh Lake. The new water control structure will allow for water levels to be manipulated between and within years to promote habitat benefits, as has been successfully done on numerous shallow lakes across Minnesota and on Mississippi River pools. Variability in water levels has resulted in increased extent, diversity, and abundance of aquatic vegetation, increased food for waterfowl, and improved water quality conditions.   Re-routing of the Pomme de Terre River - The Pomme de Terre River was successfully re-routed into it's historic channel.  Two rock riffle structures were utilized to prevent head‐cutting in the river channel. Riffles were placed to traverse the entire river channel and were constructed with boulders, rip‐rap, and gravel. This provides a drop in the water surface elevation of about 8 inches.  The 1,000 feet of the bank of the Pomme de Terre River has been stabilized using toe wood sod mats. Large trees were placed in an interlocking matrix and anchored with boulders. Topsoil or soil mats were placed to fill the areas between trees and branches and shrubs and live willow cuttings were added.  An estimated 1.1 miles of existing roadway was removed as part of re-storing the Pomme de Terre River and its floodplain. Successful re-routing of the river now means the sediment and nutrients carried by the Pomme de Terre River no longer are emptied into Marsh Lake, but are instead diverted into the Minnesota River below the water control structure. Fishway - The fishway was constructed from the current spillway and extends about 300 feet downstream at a 3% slope. Boulder weirs were spaced 20 feet apart, with each achieving individual 10‐inch drops. The fishway ranges in width from 150 feet at the dam to 200 feet wide at the downstream edge. Approximately 1,579 cubic yards of large (1.6 ft diameter and larger boulders for weirs) were used in the fishway channel. The goal of the components listed above is to partially or fully reestablish the attributes of a naturally functioning and self-regulating system. The expected outcomes of the Marsh Lake project are to: (1) reduce sediment loading to Marsh Lake; (2) restore natural fluctuations to the hydrologic regime of Marsh Lake; (3) restore geomorphic and floodplain processes to the Pomme de Terre River; (4) reduce sediment resuspension within Marsh Lake; (5) increase extent, diversity, and abundance of emergent and submersed aquatic plant growth in Marsh Lake; (6) increase the availability of waterfowl and native fish habitat; (7) restore aquatic habitat connectivity between Marsh Lake, the Pomme de Terre River, and Lac qui Parle Lake; (8) reduce the abundance of aquatic invasive fish species in Marsh Lake; and (9) increase diversity and abundance of native fishes within Marsh Lake and the Pomme de Terre River. This project is designed to restore a more natural and variable hydrologic regime which is important to restoring freshwater aquatic ecosystems within Marsh Lake. On a river floodplain lake like Marsh Lake, a more natural hydrologic regime includes lower lake levels in some years to provide conditions conducive for aquatic vegetation to establish. In the event the goals in the Marsh Lake Ecosystem Restoration Plan are not achieved through the passive water control structure (i.e., fishway), a water level drawdown structure has been incorporated into the project where water levels could be drawn down according to recommendations and implementation by the adaptive management team. Annual and intra-annual variations in water levels are extremely important to maintain ecosystem functions in these shallow water systems. In other areas, (e.g., the pools in the Upper Mississippi River), variability in water levels has resulted in increased extent, diversity, and abundance of aquatic vegetation, increased food for waterfowl, and improved water quality conditions. The DNR Section of Wildlife has completed other projects to enhance habitat and water quality conditions within shallow lake systems through active water level drawdowns. A clear water system with more aquatic plants would favor native fishes over the non-native Common carp, as well as favor many other native plant and wildlife species. The proposed project will provide habitat improvement and improve water quality conditions in Marsh Lake. This restoration of ecosystem functions would improve fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, and provide more public use opportunities. Specific beneficiaries include sport anglers, waterfowl hunters, wildlife viewers, and downstream users who benefit from increased water quality downstream through the Minnesota River.   Water quality benefits will result from the completed work and from the future management that is now possible.  Rerouting of the Pomme de Terre into a meandering channel with adjacent floodplain habitat can provide some limited ability for sediment reduction as it flows into the Minnesota River.  Significant water quality benefits will result from the current ongoing drawdown of Marsh Lake, along with any future drawdowns.  Past experience with drawdowns of shallow lakes shows that the bottom-sediment consolidation and increased submergent vegetation provide significant water quality benefits both in the shallow lake and in downstream waters. Note that the ""Performance Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan"" is attached to this Final Report and details the extensive monitoring that will be conducted on this project to determine progress towards goals. While COVID-19 restrictions have limited some initial monitoring, anecdotal reports from local staff reveal exciting developments related to the water level drawdown that was immediately initiated following completion of project construction - - From Walt Gessler (Lac qui Parle Area Wildlife Supervisor)  -  ""I was able to remotely recruit several experienced birders earlier this year to make observations of shorebird use of Marsh Lake this spring and summer and thought you be interested in some recent counts that were made.7/19/20 Louisburg Grade:  150 Killdeer, 4 Semipalmated Plovers, 40 Stilt Sandpipers, 30 Bairds Sandpipers, 100 Least Sandpiper, 460 Pectoral Sanpiper, 10 semipalmated Sandpipers, 20 Short-billed Dowitcher, 30 Spotted Sandpiper, 1450 Lesser Yellowlegs, 15 Greater Yellowlegs, 15 Wilsons Phalaropes.  2324 Total;     Correll Access:  2 American Avocets, 200 Killdeer, 172 Stilt Sandpipers, 15 Baird’s Sandpipers, 1280 Least Sandpipers, 340 Pectoal Sandpipers, 30 semi-palmated Sandpipers, 25 Short-billed Dowitcher, 30 spotted Sandpipers, 1800 Lesser Yellowlegs, 20 Greater Yellowlegs, 14 Wilson Phaloropes.   3928 total"" - From Ray Norrgard (DNR Wetland Specialist, retired)  08/21/2020 -  ""Walt gave me a tour yesterday, the drawdown looks good with extensive mudflats; thousands of shorebirds and teal.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be responsible for all active water level management, with consultation provided by an Adaptive Management Team that will include members from the Minnesota DNR, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service and Upper Minnesota River Watershed District.  A Citizen Advisory Committee has also been formed to help guide future operations and to provide better communication with the public regarding this high-profile project.

Priority will be given to lands that have a high risk of development, provide protection to shoreline and riparian zones, and allow access for anglers and habitat improvement projects.Project Outcome and Results This appropriation provided funding to acquire land in fee title within the Metro Conservation Corridors Partnership (MeCC) areas. It focused on habitat linkage projects along the Vermillion River in southern Dakota County that have the following characteristics: high risk of development, angler access, environmental protection of the shoreline and riparian zone, and access for DNR personnel and constituent cooperators to do habitat improvement projects. Parcels acquired will be managed as Aquatic Management Areas (AMA). This funding also supported the finalization of three parcels acquired with a previous MeCC appropriation, but for which professional services bills were still needed. A total of $8,080 was spent on completion of the three previously acquired parcels. The remaining $292,000 was spent on acquisition of two additional parcels for the Vermillion River AMA. These two parcels closed in late 2013 and added 114 acres of land which provide permanent protection and public hunting, fishing, and trapping along almost 11,000 feet of stream. The AMA now consists of 450 acres and 27,650 feet (over 5 miles) of stream. The Vermillion River is known for production of large brown trout and is a popular anger destination. The acquisition of these two parcels relied on other public funding in addition to this appropriation. Dakota County contributed $40,000 and another $108,600 came largely from a 2011 Outdoor Heritage Fund appropriation to DNR. Both of the new sites have been surveyed and the boundaries posted in time for the 2014 trout opener. Costs for boundary posting and other initial development were paid from other DNR budgets.

Both of the new sites have been surveyed and the boundaries posted in time for the 2014 trout opener. Costs for boundary posting and other initial development were paid from other DNR budgets. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION A press release announcing the two new parcels was issued in early April 2014: http://news.dnr.state.mn.us/2014/04/08/dnr-adds-2-miles-metro-trout-fishing-opportunities-along-vermillion-2/. The story was picked up by at least two local media outlets - CBS Minnesota (http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/04/09/dnr-expands-trout-fishing-along-vermilion-river/) and Pioneer Press (http://blogs.twincities.com/outdoors/2014/04/10/minnesota-stream-trout-fishing-new-vermillion-river-properties-acquired/).

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

Contact:grants@mnhs.org","SHORT TERM OUTCOME In the next 6 months, 50% of identified Meeker County historic organizations will participate in the interview process for the partnership grant and thereby increase their knowledge of heritage tourism. The consultant will track organizations identified and number attending the interviews. There are an estimated 16 number of groups that could potentially be involved with Meeker County Heritage Tourism. Hoisington Preservation, Inc. has met with 10 groups involved with Meeker County history, or 62.5%. This exceeds the required 50%. LONG TERM OUTCOME In the next 18 months, Meeker County will use data from the strategic plan from this project when applying for additional grants for heritage tourism implementation activities. Meeker Development Corporation will track grants being applied for using data from the strategic plan. This final report is submitted early and the next request for a partnership grant for agriculture tourism is supported by the members of the partnership and other Meeker County historic groups. The strategic plan identified several key issues as the next steps to develop Meeker County Tourism and subsequent grants.

The OHF grant funds spent were leveraged almost 1:1 with $800,350 in other, mostly non-state funds. ",,"Metro Big Rivers partners’ Phase 4 accomplishments, process and methods are described below. Additional information, photos and site maps are provided in attachments about each project accomplished. Friends of Mississippi River (FMR) enhanced forest and prairie habitat on 54 acres in Dakota and Washington Counties. These sites are situated within the Mississippi River corridor and provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife. Over 320 species of birds use the corridor for spring and fall migration, and need stopover sites like these two natural areas for refueling. In addition, with populations of pollinator species declining, there is need to  increase the quality and quantity of pollinator-friendly habitat, even with small habitat patches, to prevent further declines. These sites are also near or adjacent to other protected natural areas, adding important benefits of habitat linkages for wildlife. FMR’s work included $31,400 in leverage funds and in-kind support from local partners and high school students to complete the following activities: ·       Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park - FMR enhanced 35 acres of oak forest, 3 acres of remnant bluff prairie, and 1 acre of prairie at this natural area in Cottage Grove. Activities included forestry mowing and hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation, foliar treatments for re-sprouting stems, broadcasting native seed and conducting prescribed burns.  ·       Vermillion Linear Park - FMR enhanced 6 acres of riparian forest and 9 acres of prairie at this natural area on the Vermillion River in Hastings. Activities included hand-cutting invasive woody vegetation across the entire project area, foliar treatments for re-sprouting woody stems and herbaceous invasives, broadcasting native seed, and planting native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and sedges. Additional prairie-specific activities included grassland prep (sprays, burn, tilling, and harrowing), native seeding, mowing, spot treatments and a prescribed burn.  Great River Greening (GRG) exceeded its original goals by restoring and enhancing 76 acres total in Anoka and Ramsey Counties (66 acres were proposed). Leverage funds of $131,950 helped GRG restore 32 acres of prairie, enhance another 5 acres prairie and enhance 39 acres forest, as follows:    ·       Martins Meadows - GRG enhanced 39 acres of forest habitat on this City of Andover Open Space site situated  on the Rum River (29 acres were proposed).  Activities included removal of woody invasives (common buckthorn, honeysuckle, amur maple), tree thinning, woody encroachment removal, mowing, seeding and planting.  The improved habitat will benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, blanding’s turtle and gopher snake, all of which have documented occurrences just up and down stream of the site. ·       Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary (Trillium Nature Preserve) - This former rail yard on St Paul’s east side was transformed through a major restoration effort into a new naturalized area that reflects its original state.  Over the course of the project, 32 acres were restored to prairie and an additional 5 prairie acres were enhanced through woody invasives removal.  Activities included mowing, herbicide application, tree thinning, tree planting and prairie seeding. The restoration of this site presented unique challenges because removal of contaminated soil required use of heavy equipment, thereby compacting the soils and requiring additional seeding preparation work to establish vegetation. The nature sanctuary is a refuge for wildlife in an otherwise urban complex.  It also offers residents who are otherwise underserved in this part of St Paul access to natural space and wildlife. Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) exceeded its goals by closing on two perpetual conservation easements within the St. Croix River corridor in Washington County. In total, 131 acres of high-quality habitat were protected by permanent easement under MBR 4, surpassing the 120-acre goal. MLT leveraged $637,000 in donated value across both easement acquisitions, a 2:1 ratio relative to acquisition funding provided by the OHF grant. The two properties protected under permanent conservation easements are:   ·       Old Mill Stream (Kingston) -- This 44-acre easement protects high-quality wetlands, forest and grasslands along 5,920 feet of Old Mill Stream, a state-designated trout stream in Washington County with a viable population of brook trout. The easement is abutted by William O’Brien State Park on three sides. Approximately 22 acres of the property are characterized as a Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance by the DNR due to the presence of rare species and moderate quality natural communities, which provides key habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), including red-shouldered hawk, northern long-eared bat and least weasel.  This property is located within the Audubon Society’s St. Croix Bluffs Important Bird Area (IBA), which functions as a vital migratory corridor. In particular, it is important nesting grounds for great blue heron and bald eagle. ·       St. Croix River (Docksteader Trust) -- This 87-acre easement protects high-quality mesic hardwood forest along the bluffs of the St. Croix River Valley in Washington County.  The protected property is directly adjacent to a scenic easement held by the National Park Service, which is part of a connected corridor of scenic easements extending 11 miles along the St. Croix River north of Stillwater.  The protected property lies within an Important Bird Area (IBA) of global importance identified by the Audubon Society, and provides important habitat for a variety of Species in Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).   Minnesota Valley Trust (MVT) & Trust for Public Land (TPL): MVT and TPL were unable to acquire a large, high-priority property in Hennepin County for the Upgrala Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, negotiations that were moving forward ended when a member of the landowner group (a hunting club) changed their mind about selling. Club rules required two-thirds of shareholders to agree to the sale and did not allow the property to be divided. Consequently, MVT and TPL did not expend funds from this appropriation.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Deborah,Loon,"MN Valley Trust (Metro Big Rivers)","3815 East American Boulevard ",Bloomington,MN,55425,"(612) 801-1935",DebLoon@comcast.net,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Washington","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/metro-big-rivers-phase-4,,,, 3613,"Metro Area Groundwater Monitoring",2021,,N/A,,"This appropriation has now ended.

FMR restored 8 acres of prairie and enhanced 30 acres prairie, 47 acres of wetland and 237 acres of forest on three sites in Dakota County and one in Washington County, as follows:• Gores Pool Wildlife Management Area (Freitag Tract) -- Gores Pool WMA is a 6,449-ac complex of floodplain forest, marshland and backwater along the Mississippi River and Vermillion River Bottoms in Dakota County. Most of the area is designated as outstanding biodiversity significance and constitutes one of the largest expanses of floodplain native plant communities in southeast Minnesota. It is also one of the top four sites in the state for rare forest birds. The 300 acre Freitag Tract was purchased in 2008 by the DNR in partnership with Dakota County and the City of Hastings. With this Phase 3 grant, FMR continued its activities at the WMA in partnership with the DNR, enhancing 47 acres of wet meadow, 125 acres of forest, and 5 acres of prairie. Methods included cutting and treating invasive woody and herbaceous species, prescribed burning, installing cottonwood livestakes, and planting native shrubs.• Hastings Sand Coulee Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) - This SNA is identified as significant by the Dakota County Farmland and Natural Area Program and the County Biological Survey. In addition to containing an intermittent stream that flows to the Vermillion River, this site contains rare dry prairie and associated oak woodland. Fourteen rare species have been documented at this SNA. FMR’s work with Phase 3 restored 8 acres of prairie, enhanced 23 acres of prairie by removing woody species and conducting prescribed burns and enhanced 51 acres of oak woodland by controlling exotic invasive species and conducting prescribed burns.• Hastings Scientific and Natural Area -- This 69-acre SNA, designated in the 1970s, is situated along the Mississippi – Vermillion River floodplain and blufflands in Hastings, Dakota County. It contains wetland, maple-basswood forest and floodplain forest. FMR developed a Natural Resource Management Plan for this SNA in 2011 in partnership with the DNR. With Phase 3 funds, FMR conducted exotic invasive woody plant control on 35 acres of forest by cutting and stump-treating. These activities improved the habitat for the both rare species and all the plant and animal members of these forest communities.• Camel’s Hump / Gateway North Open Space Area -- This 34-acre site sits on a high ancient river terrace of sandstone and limestone within Cottage Grove (Washington County). The natural communities located on this site include oak forest, bedrock bluff prairie and lowland hardwood forest. Through this Phase 3 grant, FMR prepared a Natural Resource Management Plan, then conduct woody plant removal and a prescribed burn on approximately 2-acres of prairie and exotic plant control on approximately 26 acres of forest by cutting and treating woody plants and prescribed burns. Seed collected from the prairie on-site was used to enhance other areas on-site.Great River Greening (GRG) also exceeded its original grant acres. GRG conducted enhancement activities on 179 acres (141 acres were originally proposed), as follows:• Katherine Abbott Park: 6 acres prairie enhancement, and16 acres forest enhancement. Work included: removal of invasive common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, black locust and Siberian elm; woody encroachment removal from the native prairie; and reed canary grass control in the wet prairie area. The enhancement at Katherine Abbott is continuing with Trust Fund support and City support. This site now hosts remnant prairie, oak savanna, enhanced forest habitat, and enhanced wetland habitats. Acreage and habitat goals were met; with City funds, summer and fall 2017 burns are being developed for the oak woodland communities to control buckthorn and promote the remnant understory. • Fish Creek Open Space: 75 acres of dry-mesic prairie oak savannah were enhanced. Work included woody invasive removal, tree planting, and prairie seeding. Oak savanna was restored using an oak grove design, and the timing of seeding was selected carefully to encourage forb establishment for better pollinator habitat and floristic diversity, as well as a robust prairie grass component. The establishment has included mowing to promote prairie perennials over weedy annuals and biennials, and spot treatment (pulling, spraying) of more problematic non-native invasive species. Restorations involved Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (a partnership with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa, providing hands-on natural resource experience to underserved youth), students and faculty, volunteer citizens, contractors, and Greening staff. Fish Creek now hosts prairie habitat, oak savanna habitat, and enhanced forest habitat. This location in the Mississippi flyway is proving to continue to leverage volunteer services for enhancement and maintenance, and is also a pollinator citizen science project location with Trust Fund support. Acreage goals were met and maintenance program is robust and underway.• Springbrook Nature Center: 82 acres enhanced (66 acres proposed), 70 acres of forest and 12 acres of prairie, through woody invasive removal and treatment and several rounds of prescribed burns. Work was conducted by Greening’s Summer Youth Job Corps (see Fish Creek description), citizen volunteers, contractors, and Greening staff.With this grant, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired 66 acres of a larger 335 acre acquisition of significant habitat in Elk River (Sherburne County) with over a mile of Mississippi River shoreline at the confluence of the Elk River and Mississippi Rivers.

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.

SPPL worked with several local organizations and a roster of nearly all Minnesotan artists/presenters. Take the Mic was all about teens and music. The series included workshops on music songwriting, recording, and editing. The highlight was a concert in downtown Saint Paul's Rice Park featuring local teen bands, as well as musician Alicia Steele. We were thrilled to be able to offer local teens the chance to perform in a public venue, alongside a professional musician. Read Brave encouraged the community to read the book Everybody Sees the Ants, which addresses topics of bullying, war and family. The author, an engaging speaker, visited and led discussions related to her book. The library was also able to partner with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in conjunction with the series. Lady Gaga was in town with her Born Brave Bus, and teen participants in our series got the opportunity to visit her bus and enjoy a pre-show party hosted by Gaga. IART Families celebrated diversity in families. The series featured three events where kids and their families had the chance to make art and hear stories celebrating different families. Each event included a collaborative art project. The series culminated at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, where the collaborative art projects were on display. Gypsy Festival: Three live music performances and an exhibit drew over 700 people. The performances consisted of Gypsy Jazz, Spanish Flamenco, and the music of Django Reinhardt.

Scott County Library: Off-Site Summer Reading Program provided reading records, prizes, and sets of books to childcare, summer school, and free lunch programs in each branch library's community. With hiring a contractor to manage the program, we were able to expand to 1,690 participants at 15 sites; hosted 12 events with performers for participants and their families. First Thursdays Danceteria continues to be very popular and draws large crowds and rave reviews. The sense of community built in a social dance is like no other and many participants comment on the quality of the music and venue and on the opportunity to sample different musical traditions. lnkSlingers: Writers in the Libraries hosted 11 writing workshops. Belle Plaine and Prior Lake also each hosted youth writing workshops as part of this series. Comments from participants mentioned often that the information in the classes was very inspiring, and useful to them. They said that the instructors gave practical, hands-on information and mentioned a number of times how the instructor had inspired and motivated them. They also appreciated the variety of teachers and authors, and asked for more writing classes on a wider variety of topics. As a direct result of the writing classes, two writing groups formed and continue to meet. Booked! Live Bands at Your Library is a new program developed to include more contemporary music and to offer the opportunity for suburban and rural communities to enjoy top-quality musicians from the metro area in the up-close and personal venue of the library. The musical groups played to packed, sometimes standing­ room-only, crowds with a wider variety of ages than is usually seen at library programs. The Savage Library commissioned mural artist Greg Preslicka to do a mural called ""Taking Flight"" on two walls of the children's area. The artist spent a week in January working on the project and gave three presentations on the mural process, and many more watched and interacted with the artist as he worked on the mural. The community really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the mural in process. Washington County Library built on the success of its annual One County, One Book program with Still Standing: The Story of Ssg. John Kriesel. The author is a resident of Washington County and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The remarkable and inspiring story is of a young man who overcame extraordinary challenges after losing his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion in Iraq. Storytime for Grown-Ups brings the art of reading aloud and the joy of listening and remembering to residents of senior housing throughout the county. The library hired a professional reader to present a 6-week series of hour-long programs at five senior resident facilities. He read selections of short stories by popular Minnesota authors. After the readings, audience members shared their reactions and memories of similar situations in their own lives. The library invited local independent authors and publishers to offer their e-books to the readers of Washington County. Library Local Content was a partnership with the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Authors submitted their works online. The library uploaded the works into its OverDrive e-book lending platform. Readers were encouraged to read and rate the books. With the success of our other writing programs we decided to offer another writer's workshop featuring a young and talented author. This time it was Alice Ozma, author of March 2012 One County One Book selection, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. When Alice reached out to us saying she would be in the area and would love to come back and do another program with us we jumped at the chance! We decided to host an informal writer's workshop and open it up to both teens and adults.

Teens Know Best: This new program brought eight teen authors to each library system in 2013. Although we aimed high in projected attendance, 625 youth were thrilled to make connections with their favorite authors. We already have ideas for improving the program for next year and will cultivate partnerships with Mackin, Addendum, Lerner Publishers and 71 educators to increase promotion and attendance. Anoka County Library continued their most popular programs, including Page & Stage with the Lyric Arts Theater in Anoka and Bringing Local History to Life with the Anoka County Historical Society. A patron commented about the Page and Stage program, ""The talk before the play can give a whole new outlook and it is great to listen to others thoughts in the plays. Thanks to the Legacy Grant we are able to get into those plays that are chosen and see them from the ""eyes of the authors"" in a different way."" New for this year of Legacy programming, they launched Storywalks in partnership with Anoka County Parks and Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services. Three Storywalks were hosted in the fall at different parks around Anoka County. The walks were an opportunity for families to read, spend time in nature, and be physically active. Anoka County Library hosted two series of programs for school age kids this spring: Kids Build ARTchitecture and In the Dark. The ARTchitecture series had kids designing bridge, skyscrapers, and inventions. Kids reported that learning to saw and cut wood, using glue guns was important to them. . They gave the programs very high marks. In the Dark programs included learning about rocks that glow, creating kaleidoscopes, making glow-in-the-dark art and a very popular Jedi Training Camp. As with the ARTchitecture programs, kids liked the hands-on aspects of the activities - the building and decorating. Carver County Library's first Annual Writers Fair was a huge success. With an afternoon of classes, a panel discussion, and networking opportunities available it was a must-attend event for any aspiring writer. The event was so well received a follow up writers series will be offered late Fall and a second Writers Fair is in the planning for 2014. Since, we have experienced a great amount of success when offering any programming as a series, particularly with our annual Music in March series. A decision was made to try a new venue­ Arts in April. Every Sunday afternoon, in April a different art form or session was offered at our Chanhassen branch. We even had one Sunday afternoon with staff providing their work on display and brief introductions to their art of choice. Plans are to expand the offerings next April and provide more hands on classes and Make and Take classes. Dakota County Library: Rosemount One Book was a collaborative community effort to promote and support reading, as well as to provide cultural and educational activities for all ages. The idea germinated in Rosemount during a Community Leaders meeting to bring people with similar youth-centered goals together to share and work toward creating a better Rosemount. Following the successful first year of One Book, One Rosemount, the committee agreed to continue the program and chose Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool.

By providing each township with their own copy, it becomes a back-up to their hard copy records and ensures the preservation of their records. This project provides the accessibility of the records to the public. By housing the microfilm at the Kandiyohi County Historical Society, the public has a central location to go to when researching the townships.

The original cost of $190.00 was derived from prices at the MHS website, but at the time of duplication, MHS no longer provided microfilm duplication services. MHS staff helpfully provided the vendor that it now uses, and after weighing the options, the volunteer decided that Northern Micrographics was the best choice. Mr. Pechacek was also very helpful in negotiating a change in the project: while the minimum rate for any job was $250.00, the cost to duplicate one reel of 35mm microfilm was only $25.00! Therefore, Mr. Pechacek helped the volunteer negotiate a contract of 10 duplicate reels (5 each of the 2 original negative microfilm reels) to make best use of the grant funds. The volunteer ultimately decided upon 8 positive duplicates (4 each of the 2 original negatives) and 1 negative safety copy (2 each of the 2 originals). The volunteer paid via credit card a fee of $261.16 and received a $190.00 reimbursement, absorbing the remaining $71.16 herself as a gift to the museum. Special Collections accessioned and cataloged the microfilm, and also offered to digitize it as PDFs to eventually be hosted on the library's website. Not only did this allow the museum to send 1 set (1 reel each of the 2 originals) of positive microfilm to Hennepin County Special Collections as planned in the original grant, satisfying the purpose of greater (public) access to the microfilm, it also allowed the administration area of Hennepin County Library (at Ridgedale Library) to hold one set of positives and the safety copy of negatives in the administration area for safekeeping. The Museum is considering getting a safe or a safety deposit box. The other 4 sets of positives have been placed with the originals in the Miller Collection and cataloged. In addition, with the help of the Hennepin County Library's microfilm printer (at Ridgedale Library), a complete hard copy printout of both reels will be made with the library's microfilm printer at no cost to the museum, and the hard copies can then be foldered, placed with the Miller Collection at the MNANG Museum, and cataloged. Therefore, at least a hard copy version of the two microfilm reels will also be available for reference at the MNANG Museum. Thanks to the vendor, who encouraged the volunteer to get the most value for the grant dollars awarded, extra copies were made for the same amount of money as would have cost to merely make one duplicate each of the two original reels. Four each in the Miller Collection is rather a lot, but there seemed to be no justification for making fewer copies than the minimum charge ($250) would allow.",,,71,,261,,"Kurt Wiessner, Richard Wiessner, Ray Pittman, Richard Heinecke, Deon Ford, Bob Minish, Jerry Kyser, Vikki Getchel, Karen Wolf, Michael Drews, Terry Morris, Tom Simonet, Colonel Wyneken",,"Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To add 2 rolls of microfilmed records from World War II to broaden public accessibility to primary records.",,,2013-01-01,2014-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Kathleen,Sundby,"Minnesota Air National Guard Historical Foundation","PO Box 11598","St. Paul",MN,55111,612-713-2523,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Hennepin,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/microfilm-duplication-miller-collection,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. ",,,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Danielle ",Grant,"Minneapolis Public Schools","1250 West Broadway Avenue",Minneapolis,Minnesota,55411,"(612) 668 0610",danielle.grant@mpls.k12.mn.us,,"Minnesota Indian Affairs Council",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minneapolis-public-schools,,,, 17846,"Minneapolis North Side Tornado Oral History Project",2013,6645,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.",,,,,,6645,,"Peter Harle, Philip Nusbaum, Janis Lane Ewart, Thomas Walker, Peggy Korsmo Kennon, John Nelson",,"Grassroots Culture","Non-Profit Business/Entity","To conduct 12 oral history interviews with residents of Minneapolis' North Side on the effects of the 2011 tornado.",,"To conduct 12 oral history interviews with residents of Minneapolis' North Side on the effects of the 2011 tornado.",2012-08-01,2013-08-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",,,,Philip,Nusbaum,"Grassroots Culture","1268 Jefferson Avenue","St. Paul",MN,55105,,,,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minneapolis-north-side-tornado-oral-history-project,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

For this step, the following data was assembled: public land, proximity to existing storm sewer networks, contributing land area, City of Minneapolis CIPs, TMDL studies, and past BMPs studies for the area. The second step was to fill data gaps. This was done through the use of field surveys and as-built information. The third step was to develop a model and update it with it with BMPs. The BMP hydrology was modeling with P8 and XP-SWMM. Total phosphorus (TP) loading rates and removal rates were modeling in P8. Using this model, stormwater BMPs were identified and preliminary sized for nutrient reductions and cost. The fourth step was then to evaluate the cost-benefit of each BMP and assemble a prioritization list on which would provide the highest return on investment. When normalizing costs they ranged from $5- $25 per cubic foot of treatment volume. When normalizing costs in terms of dollars per pound of TP removed over 20-years, costs ranged from $644-$8,014 per pound of TP. Beyond cost, each BMP was also ranked for total phosphorus removal, effectiveness of total phosphorus removal cost rank, and design challenges. The final step was to develop a report that summarized the methods, the modeling results, the BMP locations, cost and removal efficiencies, and recommendations. This report has been completed and as noted, identified 13 potential BMPs and all of the data that informed the development of those BMPs. Treatment efficiency ranged from 3-74 pounds per year of TP removal, with an average removal of 31 pounds.

Contact grants@mnhs.org","Drawing upon nautical archaeological and historical knowledge based on previous fieldwork and research conducted by Minnesota's only underwater/maritime archaeologists and maritime historians, MHM's documentation and 3D scanning of the 5 boats chosen for the Minnesota Small Craft Project (MSC) exceeded expectations. The 5 boats were chosen because they were Minnesota-built, rare, and relatively unknown in the maritime history of the state. The maritime historical research conducted by MHM in association with the MSC Project revealed the true rarity of the 5 watercraft documented. The great amount of historical documentation put together to provide context to these 5 Minnesota Watercraft, as a measurable long-term outcome, is invaluable for understanding Minnesota's maritime history. Further, all the research is available for future use during the documentation of underwater archaeological sites wrecks to assist in submerged cultural resources identification. Additionally, as more examples of the watercraft produced by these 5 companies come to light, the information provided in the MSC Report can assist boat owners and museum professionals concerning the history and care of the boats. When the project was began, MHM was aware of 2 Ramaley Boat Company's Fisherman's Friend Row Boats (FFRB) in existence on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka and that is still the case. Similarly, the Indian Trading Post Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (IOMB) is a one of a kind survivor, but the smaller Wooden Outboard Utility Wreck (21-HE-491) on the bottom of Lake Minnetonka is comparable. The Joseph Dingle Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (DOMB) represents one of the most respected late 19th and early 20th Century boat builders not only in Minnesota, but the United States. MHM was aware of a handful of Dingle-built watercraft that survive and that were known in the historical record. However, after conducting a rigorous documents search for more Dingle boats, MHM was astonished by the great number of boats produced by Dingle on special order as well as the great number of stock models sold to the City of St. Paul, for example. The diversity of watercraft styles and designs produced by Dingle over the decades attests to the versatility and talent of the firm's craftsmen. Today, most Minnesotans - much less wooden boat historians and enthusiasts - have no knowledge of the Joseph Dingle Boat Works, where it was located, or the types of boats designed and built on the Mississippi River in St. Paul for 69 years. Further, fast sailboats and fast auto boats designed by Joseph Dingle were well-known by racers from the 1880s into the 1920s, an incredible amount of time to produce competitive watercraft, particularly for such a small family-owned and operated boatyard. The Cokato Boat Works produced quality wooden boats, but as a family-owned and small boat company, sadly it was doomed to fail because of competition from large manufacturers of aluminum and fiberglass boats produced more quickly and much more cheaply. The survival of the Cokato Boat Works Outboard Motor Boat (COMB) and 2 other examples is because of the low number of boats produced by the company is significant for Minnesota maritime history and small craft studies. To contrast, the department store nature of Herter's, Inc. and the offerings of watercraft through catalog sales stands out from the other 4 companies in terms of business practice and notoriety. Herter's was known around the country as a sporting goods superstore and was widely known for their duck decoys and ammunition. Today, Herter's fiberglass runabouts with fins are sought after and collectible, much more than Herter's Model St. Lawrence (HSL) held in the MNHS collection. The plain utilitarian design of the HSL ensures that less of this type will survive on the water and as collectible watercraft. Therefore, while many Minnesotans recognize the Herter's brand, they are not aware of the watercraft produced by the company, the uniqueness of their marketing scheme, the chrome fiberglass construction material, and its natural translucence. Beyond the actual scanning and documentation of the 5 boats during the MSC Project, another of MHM's goal was to determine the usefulness of the inexpensive scanning technology chosen for the work, along with the quality of its output. MHM's maritime historians contend the MSC Project pushed the limits of the iSense scanning device. It can and will scan objects like small boats, scanning the entire watercraft at one time can cause a loss of resolution and the quality of the scans deceases. Therefore, scanning smaller areas and combining the files in software is doable but can cause differences the lightness or darkness of certain areas and shadowing becomes more of a problem. MHM tried to solve this problem with additional lighting, but again, shadows and irregularities were a problem. Also, scanners do not work well when recording shiny objects; the varnish on the COMB was a big problem causing glare and reflections. The iSense excelled in scanning details of individual attributes of the boats; this aspect of the technology makes the system suited for conservation and restoration even the 3D printing of attributes for aesthetic reasons. Regardless of the limitations of the inexpensive iSense scanner combined with a 4th Generation iPad, MHM will continue to use the technology during projects when appropriate. MHM's archaeologists are eager to use the system on wrecks in the Headwaters Mississippi River, sites that are exposed during low water conditions. When in shade, the Andy Gibson Wreck Site and the Red Mill Wreck Site are great candidates for spot-scanning of certain areas and will greatly assist the recording of archaeological features. MHM's short term goal of informing Minnesotans of the on-going MSC Project through social media has been successful, particularly through FaceBook posts that were shared to thousands of people not one negative comment has been received. MHM is eager to document more Minnesota-built small craft held in museums and historical societies, particularly those boats that represent our State's long and diverse boat-building history. It is hoped the Minnesotans will access the MSC Project Report and contact MHM with knowledge of other small craft that deserve scholarly attention. Also, MHM contends the report will be used as a guide through the scans, photographs, measurements, and descriptions of the boats - to identify boats now housed in old barns and backyards. There are more Ramaley, Dingle, and Herter's boats out there being ignored and with great optimism, MHM hopes there are more Trading Post and Cokato watercraft that survive as well.",,119,"Available upon request.

Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short and intermediate term goals for this project were met in every measurable way. MHM's primary goals for the Minnesota Suburban Lakes Nautical Archaeology Project: Anomaly Assessment (MSLNA:AA) Project, a Phase 1 archaeological reconnaissance survey, was to determine the nature of specific anomalies - possible shipwrecks & other submerged sites-located during the Minnesota Suburban Lakes Survey Project (MSLS) conducted in 2016 & the Lake Waconia Survey Project (LWS) in 2012. The MSLNA-AA Project produced interesting and significant results investigating 29 anomalies in 3 lakes in 3 counties. MHM identified 11 wrecks, 3 maritime sites or objects, 2 other sites, and 1 otherobject in Lake Waconia, Lake Pulaski, and Prior Lake. Of the 11 wrecks, MHM acquired Minnesota Archaeological Site Numbers for 3 of them; 2 in Prior Lake and 1 in Lake Pulaski. Two of these wrecks are small wooden boats, similar in construction and design to 15 wrecks identified by MHM in Lake Minnetonka. Also, the Glasspar G-3 Ski boat Wreck, Fiberglass Hydroplane Wreck, Royal American Surfmaster 15 Wreck, and the Capsized Starcraft Wreck are the first of their manufacture to be identified on the bottom of any Minnesota lake. Additionally, visibility was much better in Lake Waconia and Lower Prior Lake than was anticipated, so the product output exceeded expectations due to water clarity - better video was produced and wreck attributes could be seen very clearly. As more data is accumulated and additional nautical archaeological sites identified and analyzed, to date submerged cultural resources from 9 suburban lakes can be compared and contrasted. Attributes noted in certain wrecks may be indicative of a particular boat builder or at least assigned to a particular type or time period. Further, to date MHM has identified 4 pontoon boat wrecks in 3 lakes; of these sites, 3 of them are capsized (Lake Pulaski, Lake Minnetonka) and 1 is upright (Lake Waconia). The wrecks and sites identified by MHM during the project represent the first submerged cultural resources recognized archaeologically in these particular bodies of water. The work completed during this project proves multi-lake diving projects are feasible and can be very successful. MHM continues to re-examine recorded sonar footage from completed remote sensing surveys. Targeted re-scanning has occurred in several lakes using knowledge gained from the comparison of anomalies that have proven to be wrecks or other submerged cultural resources in past projects. With improved technology, future scanning projects will produce clearer data. The results of the MSLNA-AA Project summarized above is connected to all the work that came before and will come after its completion. At this point, watercraft located in Minnesota's suburban lakes represent nearly 1,000 years of Minnesota's maritime history and nautical archaeology. In the historic period, the known wrecks represented in these lakes span over 140 years of local maritime culture. It is clear even through this Phase 1 pre-disturbance nautical archaeological investigation that the types of sites that exist in Minnesota's suburban lakes documented to date are diverse, archaeologically and historically significant, and worthy of great attention now and well into the future. Additionally, MHM's vetting of volunteer divers choosing only ethical, responsible people who understand our Mission to locate, document, preserve, and conserve Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm led to a productive and honest working environment in the field. Fundamentally, MHM conducted sound nautical and maritime archaeology based on meaningful research plans created because of decades of underwater archaeological experience, strong maritime historical research that produced trustworthy data for analysis and future use, and we chose a group of trustworthy volunteers to assist us with the fulfillment of this project's goals.",,473,"Available upon request.

Contact grants@mnhs.org","MHM short term goal for this project were exceeded. MHM's primary goal for the MSLS Project, a set of 6 pre-disturbance Phase 1 underwater archaeological side and down imaging sonar surveys, was to record sonar footage of each of the lakes and analyze the data. The quality of the sonar images recorded during the MSLS Project have allowed MHM to make preliminary identifications of several nautical, maritime, and underwater sites in all 6 lakes. Before the start of the project, no nautical/underwater/maritime sites have been recognized on the bottom of the lakes by the Office of the State Archaeologist. There are still no recognized sites in the 6 lakes yet because MHM cannot apply for archaeological site numbers through the OSA until dive reconnaissance has been completed and the wrecks/sites analyzed. However, the potential is high that the wrecks discerned in the sonar data are archaeological sites or have the potential to be sites in the near future. During the project, MHM identified 13 wrecks through their distinctive sonar signatures, another 22 possible wrecks, 6 poke nets, 5 boat lifts/canopies, and many other maritime and underwater sites. This information was presented to the public in 6 separate reports: Minnesota Suburban Lakes Survey Project: Lake Elmo Survey Report, Lake Johanna Survey Report, Medicine Lake Survey Report, Lake Pulaski Survey Report, Lake Sylvia Survey Report, and the Prior Lake Survey Report. The sonar images of the 13 wrecks range from simple boat shapes to detailed hull attributes evident. Using MHM's knowledge from previous SCUBA reconnaissance projects, at least 5 anomalies are boat lifts, boat canopies, or boat life/canopy combinations. This type of dock infrastructure often ends up on the bottom of lakes in Minnesota due to high winds and they have distinctive sonar signatures. The poke nets in Prior Lake, Medicine Lake, Lake Sylvia, and Lake Johanna are significant to Minnesota maritime and underwater archaeology, maritime history, and fishing history. The poke nets or at least poke net frames are hundreds of feet long each. Poke nets hang on poles under water and snag fish, and are well known in Scotland where they are placed in tidal zones. It is unknown who erected the nets in each lake at this time, or when they were constructed. However, they are in somewhat deep water, so they may have put together during the severe 1930s drought. MHM's short term plan to educate the general public through social media, public exhibitions, and presentations has met with success - including 2 archaeology fairs encompassing 3 days, 2 public speaking engagements in December 2016 and January 2017, and engagements on FaceBook that have reached hundreds of people. MHM's followers have learned about the impressive maritime history of Minnesota particularly the 6 lakes studied during this project - that MHM is continually uncovering. The submerged cultural resources on the bottom of these 6 suburban lakes were complete unknowns prior to the commencement of the MSLS Project. Now, MHM has confirmed the existence of several dozen sites; future work is now necessary to confirm or disprove hypotheses about the sites, and answer archaeological questions MHM will formulate in in future projects. An online dialog about the significance and rarity of Minnesota's protected nautical, maritime, and underwater cultural resources is on-going and will continue. During the MSLS Project, MHM exceeded expectations and produced substantial and meaningful results from this project due to sound fieldwork planning, solid methodology employed during the fieldwork that provided good data, and the utilization of knowledge gained from MHM's other remote sensing surveys. MHM's Mission to locate, document, preserve, conserve, and analyze Minnesota's finite submerged cultural resources within a not-for-profit paradigm was served by the completion of the MSLS Project.

In 2012 we determined to reduce the number of festival booths to provide more space per booth so we actually had less booths and artists participate in the 2013 event (85 artists in 76 booths in 2011 vs 83 artists in 73 booths), however, we believe this alteration coupled with the increase in applicants increased the overall quality of the festival artwork, which resonated with the audience. Frequently the audience commented on the quality of the work and this was reflected in artist sales averaging between $2,500-$3,000 vs $2,000 in 2011 (25% increase). To evaluate this information, we used artist and crowd surveys, revenue and count comparisons. 2: We exceeded our goal with a 20% increase from 10,000 visitors in 2011 to 12,000 visitors in 2013. Also, we planned for reaching twenty youth and instead counted 500 kids in the crowd, a 2,400% increase from what we had anticipated. To determine this outcome, we count every passerby (not duplicated) in a specific, centralized zone for the first ten minutes of every hour throughout the entire festival. We then took each hourly figure and averaged how many people who have come by during the remaining part of the hour to calculate overall festival attendance. This year we paid special attention to counting youth separate from adults and found that more kids attend the event than anticipated.",,17926,"Other, local or private",49940,12590,"Jan Morris, Lynn Speaker, Sally Berg, Clare Shaw, Hazel Belvo, Mike Carlson, Marcia Hyatt, John Franz",0.35,"Grand Marais Arts, Inc.

More than 300 toolkits, exercises, and other resources also support inclusive understandings of civic education, democratic participation, and community development and change. The content and site structure reflect input from the CLIO advisory group, three focus groups, and other users. People using the site are encouraged to rate and comment on specific items as well. More than 4,500 teachers, civic engagement and youth development program leaders, and community stakeholders have received information about CLIO through email newsletters, direct messages, and handouts or discussions at events. It is harder to know the number of young people reached, in part because we do not require users to register (because that might discourage them from using the resources) and thus cannot track individual users, and also because a single user can show a video to a class or print out a document and share it with a group without any indication of that broader reach. The higher education institutions, youth development organizations, and others who received information about CLIO serve at least 480,000 young people across the state, so we likely met our goal in terms of reach. Trainings we offered definitely increased participants’ capacity to support civic education and engagement. The 75 people who attended the October 18, 2014, day-long “Developing Civic Leaders” event were split almost equally between educators and college students.

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

Trout Run Creek (Winona). These projects were completed used methods similar to those used on projects completed by MNTU chapters in the past several years and also incorporated new research to improve project designs and fish and wildlife benefits.    The specific methods used on each stream varied depending upon the distinct natural resource characteristics of each watershed and ecological region, the limiting factors identified for each stream, and the variations in the type and magnitude of poor land uses practices within each watershed.  Methods were tailored accordingly, using the best available science, in close consultation with resource professionals within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR).  Purposes:  Each project was designed and completed using techniques selected to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:  (a) increase or maintain adult trout abundance; (b) reduce stream bank erosion and associated sedimentation downstream; (c) reconnect streams to their floodplains to reduce negative resource impacts from severe flooding; (d) increase natural reproduction of trout and other aquatic organisms; (e) increase habitat and biodiversity for both invertebrates and other non-game species; (f) be long lasting with minimal maintenance required; (g) improve angler access and participation; and (h) protect productive trout waters from invasive species. Habitat enhancement methods:  Methods used on each project included one or more of the following techniques: (1) sloping back stream banks to both remove accumulated sediments eroded from uplands areas and better reconnect the stream to its floodplain; (2) removing undesirable woody vegetation (invasive box elder, buckthorn, etc.) from riparian corridors to enable removal of accumulated sediments, reduce competition with desirable plant and grass species, and allow beneficial energy inputs (sunlight) to reach the streams; (3) stabilizing eroding stream banks using vegetation and/or rock; (4) selectively installing overhead and other in-stream cover for trout; (5) installing soil erosion prevention measures; (6) mulching and seeding exposed stream banks (including with native prairie plant species where appropriate and feasible); (7) improving or maintaining stream access roads and stream crossings to reduce erosion; (8) fencing grassy riparian corridors, including in such a way as to facilitate managed grazing, in order to prevent damage from over grazing; (9) placing large logs in northern forested streams to restore cover logs removed a half century or more ago; and (10) in northern forested watersheds with little cold groundwater, planting desirable trees in riparian areas to provide shade for the stream channel, help cool the water, and provide a source of future cover logs. Agricultural area example:  Many streams in the agricultural areas of southern and central Minnesota have been negatively impacted by many decades of poor land management practices.  The projects in southeast Minnesota used the following approach to address this: Erosion has led to wider, shallower and warmer streams, as well as excessive stream side sediments which regularly erode, covering food production and trout reproduction areas.  In many cases shallow rooted invasive trees have taken over the riparian corridors, out competing native vegetation which better secures soils, and reducing energy inputs to the stream ecosystem.  To remedy this, a typical enhancement project will involve several steps.  First, invasive trees are removed from the riparian zone and steep, eroding banks are graded by machinery to remove excess sediments deposited here from upland areas.  Importantly, this reconnects the stream to its floodplain.  Since many of these agricultural watersheds still experience periodic severe flooding, select portions of the stream banks are then reinforced with indigenous rock.  In lower gradient watersheds, or watersheds where flows are more stable, little or no rock is used.  After enhancement work is completed the streams flow faster and become deeper, keeping them cooler and providing natural overhead cover through depth and the scouring of sediments deposited by decades of erosion. Second, overhead cover habitat is created.  Bank degradation and the removal of native prairie or hardwoods have dramatically decreased protective overhead cover in the riparian zone.  Two methods are used to remedy this situation:  increasing the stream’s depth, which alone provides natural cover to trout, and installing overhead cover structures in select stream banks.  Wooden structures or tree trunks are often installed into banks in hydraulically suitable locations and reinforced with rock as a way to restore or recreate the undercut banks which had existed before settlement and agricultural land use altered the more stable flows which had gradually created and maintained them.    Finally, vegetation is reestablished in the re-graded riparian corridor to further stabilize banks and act as buffer strips to improve water quality.  Depending upon the specific site conditions, landowner cooperation, and agricultural use, native grasses and forbes are planted along the stream corridors, although often mixed with fast sprouting annual grains to anchor soils the first year.  Unusual conditions in 2019 caused severe flooding in southeast MN which demonstrated that, due to the unique soils in southeast valley floors, more indigenous rock was needed on the toes of the stream banks on some projects.  These changes were made where needed, while staying within original budget.     Taken together, these actions directly enhance physical habitat, and typically increase overall trout abundance, population structure, the number of larger trout, and levels of successful natural reproduction.  In addition to the benefits to anglers of increased trout habitat and trout abundance, project benefits extending well downstream include reduced erosion and sedimentation, cooler water temperatures, improved water quality and numerous benefits to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife populations.   ",2013-07-01,2020-03-03,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Lenczewski,"Minnesota Trout Unlimited","P O Box 845 ",Chanhassen,MN,55317,"(612) 670-1629",jlenczewski@comcast.net,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Carlton, Cook, Dakota, Fillmore, Lake, Olmsted, St. Louis, Winona","Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Northern Forest, Prairie Region, Southeast Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-trout-unlimited-coldwater-fish-habitat-enhancement-restoration,,,, 20706,"Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Acquisition of Property Surrounding Lake Tamarack",2014,1000000,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 5(e)","$1,000,000 in the first year is to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota to acquire land in fee surrounding Lake Tamarack in Carver County to be added to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

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

The DNR will develop and publish an Elevation Data Governance Plan and coordinate elevation data standards maintenance and development of products based on LiDAR data. This will ensure long term management of elevation data and the MnTOPO portal. It will also ensure that the needs of the water management officials who rely on this data to formulate their management strategies are met.","MnTOPO a web site built to make the LiDAR data collected as part of this project easily accessible was completed on time and under budget.

This exhibit, developed outside of Minnesota, was chosen for the unique, high quality STEM learning experiences and their relational focus on creative and critical thinking. Additionally, as the downtown St. Paul location has been going through a significant expansion and renovation, we needed to select an exhibit with an adaptable layout so that we could program it into our evolving space. digiPlaySpace not only fulfilled our need for that type of flexibility, but it possessed a level of STEM-related content that would not have been available to us without State funding.Pop-Up Museum at Mall of AmericaIn the interest of providing ongoing play experiences during construction, the Museum chose to open a satellite location at the Mall of America due to its central location within the metro area and the potential to reach new audiences that visit the mall and may not venture to the Saint Paul location. With an official launch date of September 26, 2015, the Museum successfully opened this new satellite location and welcomed 70,809 visitors.

This outreach resulted in 15 new groups enrolling in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 program year, including Carlton, Cologne, Dilworth, Faribault, Grand Marais, Grand Rapids, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Owatonna, Pine City, St. Anthony Village, and Virginia, Minnesota. • Website and social media improvements are a continuous process; staff continue to increase access to resources for students and adults to access, especially so those who are new and/or unfamiliar with YIG programming can more easily identify opportunities. • We completed Model Assembly and Model UN printed materials. • We completed two short promotional videos for Model UN and Model Assembly; these videos have posted on YouTube to show audiences across the state what Youth in Government programs are and how they work. • We completed YAPP, a digital program app, for each conference. Participants now have access to a digital conference book and resources that increase engagement with the program. • Both 2017-2018 YIG conferences had a 24 hour “YIG Sampler.” Model Assembly served two groups (two adults, six students) and Model UN served three groups (four adults, five students).

This program enrolled a total of 1,336.7 acres of enhanced wildlife and water quality buffers in partnership with private landowners on 29 easements. With 1337 acres (all sources of funding) protected and restored in this phase, we exceeded the original goal of 400 acres of OHF funded buffers and 400 acres of CWF funded buffers. Bonding dollars were used to fund the remaining 537 acres. ",,"  The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council provided a recommendation to fund the first phase of RIM Buffers, which provided $2,249,000 and played a part in securing 1,595.4 acres of permanent protection. This second phase of RIM Buffers built upon the successes and momentum of that first phase, securing 1,336.7 acres of permanently established buffers that will continue to provide critical water quality improvements and improved nesting habitat.  This partnership program permanently added grassland habitat and reduced fragmentation by combining the efforts of the Outdoor Heritage Fund, Clean Water Fund, and bonding to secure buffers adjacent to public waters. Building upon the 100-foot RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund, we added an additional buffer width (up to NRCS 393 standard for CRP buffers) to make clean water buffers more attractive and productive for wildlife. This program contributed toward the development of new habitat complexes and enhancement of existing habitats by expanding the size of narrow corridors and connecting them to large, permanently protected grasslands, wetlands, and shallow lakes. Furthermore, these wildlife buffers were targeted for landscapes with existing permanently protected habitat to accelerate progress toward achieving minimum thresholds of grass habitat required by waterfowl and other Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Many Species of Greatest Conservation Need benefit from large habitat patches and some require a minimum threshold of grassland habitat within a landscape.  Buffers are commonly viewed as simply a water quality practice, but buffers have notable positive impacts on wildlife due their unique upland and riverine habitat interaction. Not only are upland grasslands protected or restored, but detrimental impacts to stream-reliant biota is reduced. Many species of amphibians, such as southern MN's Northern Cricket Frog (endangered) rely on aquatic habitat during the breeding season and then spend most of their lives in upland habitat. In Southeastern MN, reptiles such as the Blanding's Turtle (endangered) rely on meandering streams, rivers, and adjacent lands.  A scoring mechanism was employed to fund high quality wildlife buffer enhancements and target these funds. Buffers for wildlife under this program were prioritized based upon their ability to enhance public land habitats (e.g., WPA’s or WMA’s), protect expiring CRP lands, add key nesting cover to wetland/upland complexes, provide maximum water quality benefits, and enhance shallow lakes.  At the time this appropriation became available, Minnesota had just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The RIM Buffer program served as a complement to other programs to secure some of those expiring acres.     ",2012-07-01,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tabor,Hoek,BWSR,"1400 Lyon Street, PO Box 267",Marshall,MN,56258,"(507) 537-6368",tabor.hoek@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Statewide,"Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-buffers-wildlife-and-water-phase-2,,,, 9797,"Minnesota Prairie Recovery Project – Phase 3",2013,4610000,"ML 2012, Ch. 264, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 2(b)","$4,610,000 in the second year is to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with The Nature Conservancy to acquire native prairie and savanna and restore and enhance grasslands and savanna.

We will continue to implement subsequent phases toward meeting the conservation goals described in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan.",,"1. Scope of work: With the requested funding, and with other funds leveraged by this money and brought by other partners, the following actions and outcomes were acheived.“Phase 3” built upon the success of the MN Prairie Recovery Project Phase 1 and 2 by continuing and expanding enhancement work in 4 focal areas and protection in 5 areas. Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments.1,425 acres of existing and restorable grassland, prairie pothole complex, and savanna was permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. Lands will be held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to the grant with the MN DNR. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been, and will continue to be, implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), once again primarily through interactions through Local Technical Teams.A separate and discrete internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs.  Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, native seed harvest, and/or cropping) are held in this account and used to pay for property taxes and ongoing management costs.110 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Preference was given to local producers and contractors for provision of seed and establishment of prairies to promote creation of local conservation-oriented businesses.22,298 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (“protected conservation lands”) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire (61 projects totalling 15,016 acres), removal of woody vegetation (60 projects for 1,678 acres), and control of exotic species (83 projects - 5,514 acres). Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC.On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and FWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation grazing/haying practices; supervised management of lands acquired above; planned and conducted prescribed burns; and other activities related to prairie conservation in the focus areas. Contracts were let to provide a high level of enhancement activities to new and existing protected conservation lands, greatly expanding current capacity. These activities greatly improved the habitat value of public lands that were not receiving adequate management treatment, while simultaneously providing jobs for CCM and local businesses. Activities included removal of undesirable woody vegetation, identification and treatment of invasive species infestations, removal of abandoned fences and/or other structures, and related restoration/enhancement activities.To ensure goals and outcomes are consistently achieved across all 4 project areas, the project coordinator oversaw implementation of the above activities and provided administrative support for budget monitoring and reporting. Significant marketing and media outreach was conducted by the Conservancy to highlight the goals and accomplishments of the project to local and statewide constituents, as well as elected officials. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/minnesota/policy/minnesota-prairie-recovery-project.xmlTemporary seasonal crews were employed by the Conservancy to provide additional capacity for public land management during critical periods like spring burn season. These crews helped create flexibility for enhancement projects and maximized the ability of specialized skilled personnel like burn bosses to increase the number of acres annually enhanced.2. How priorities were set: Prioritization and prioritization criteria vary with the conservation tactic being employed (i.e., protection, restoration, enhancement). Focus areas were selected where there was overlap with MN County Biological Survey prairie “focus areas” and TNC priority areas. Each of the 4 project locations directly correlate to core areas identified in the 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Because this project is a collaborative effort involving multiple partners, tactical priorities and criteria were established at both the state and local level by respective coordinating groups. criteria for each of these tactics include:a. Protection: location/proximity to other habitats, location/proximity to other protected lands, presence of rare/endangered species, imminence of conversion, ability to support grazing, size, cost, and likelihood for leveraged funding. A more robust listing of selection criteria can be provided upon request.b. Restoration: feasibility/likelihood of success, location, cost, availability of seed, and availability of restoration technical assistance, proximity to other habitats, and their ability to buffer or increase the conservation value of other protected lands.c. Enhancement: urgency/time since last enhancement, feasibility of success, accessibility, availability of enhancement technical assistance, cost, proximity to other habitats and partnership benefits.3. Urgency and opportunity of this proposal: Only about 1% of Minnesota’s original native prairie still remains (about 235,000 acres of an original 1.8 million), and the remnants are still being destroyed and degraded. Less than half of those 235,000 acres are currently protected from conversion, and management capacity is unable to address needs on protected lands. Additionally, more than 90% of the original prairie pothole wetlands in the western part of the state have also been lost. These losses threaten the viability of Minnesota’s prairie/wetland wildlife and recreational opportunities that depend upon them. Further, huge strides that have been made in supplementing habitat with the Conservation Reserve Program are in imminent danger of being lost as contracts expire. Conservationists have a narrow window of opportunity to protect remaining native grasslands, wetlands and other habitats, restore and protect supplemental grasslands and wetlands, and accelerate enhancement efforts to ensure these habitats are providing optimal value to animals and people. This proposal accelerated an initiative begun in 2010.4. Stakeholder involvement and/or opposition: This Phase continues an initiative begun with OHF funding in 2010. We have worked very closely with conservation interests in developing and maintaining this initiative and will continue close collaboration among partners. Via past and ongoing projects, we are also coordinating with other stakeholders (e.g., cattlemen’s associations, Land Stewardship Project, county boards), and will continue to seek opportunities to expand that coordination. Points of opposition that have risen to date include: perceived loss of tax revenues, philosophical opposition to public land ownership, and lack of understanding of processes (i.e. prescribed fire) necessary for long-term prairie system health. To address these concerns we have been actively engaged with county boards and other local units of government, local agricultural producers and groups, and local communities. We anticipate continuing to build these relationships in each of the four project areas.PlanningThis project implements strategies identified in at least 6 plans, as identified below.1. The 2010 MN Prairie Conservation Plan (Plan) identifies three distinct strategies and opportunities for targeting protection, restoration, and enhancement of Minnesota’s prairie and grassland systems. The plan recommends work in “Core Areas” defined as large landscapes that retain some features of functioning prairie systems. Using MN County Biological Survey data and USFWS Habitat Assessment, Populations and Evaluation Team (HAPET)2. MN Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan. The strategic framework of this plan has 5 elements in its “Habitat” section: integrated planning, critical land protection, land and water restoration and protection, (identification of) sustainable practices, and (provision of) economic incentives for sustainable practices. Further, while the plan does not go into great detail with respect to prairie conservation, it clearly states that “protection of priority land habitats” is a vital practice, and prairies clearly fall here.  The Plan identifies 36 distinct prairie core areas across the western third of the state. Collectively these core landscapes contain 71% of the state’s remaining native prairie. All 4 of the project focus areas directly correlate with one or more of these core areas.3. Tomorrow’s Habitat for the Wild and Rare. The primary objective identified in the MN DNR’s plan is to “stabilize and increase populations of “species in greatest conservation need (SGCN)”. In the prairie regions of Minnesota, strategies to achieve this goal include:a. Support incentives that avoid conversion of grasslands into row crops where SGCN occur.b. Use mowing, cutting woody vegetation, prescribed fire, or careful use of herbicides to prevent the invasion of grasslands by trees and shrubs.c. Lengthen the cutting rotations for hay; avoid early-season mowing.d. Use light to moderate, rotational grazing programs to benefit SGCNe. Prevent fragmentation of grassland habitat.f. Avoid soil compaction in areas occupied by mammal SGCN.g. Increase native plant species components.h. Control spread of invasive species to adjacent native-dominated sites.This project proposes to address all but item “f” above.4. The Nature Conservancy’s Northern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregional Plan (1998). This plan identifies key conservation targets, geographic emphasis areas, threats to native plant and animal communities, and key strategies to mitigate these threats. The proposal is a solid step in the implementation of this plan. Also, as a step-down from the NTP Ecoregion Plan, the Chapter has completed local level planning (Conservation Action Planning) for smaller geographic units that correspond with the focus areas. Goals within these focus areas are very explicit in identifying conservation targets and actions and are consistent with the activities contained in this proposal.5. DNR’s Pheasant Plan. This proposal is in full support of the Pheasant Plan goal to add 1.5 million acres of undisturbed grassland to the state by 2025.6. DNR’s Waterfowl Plan. This proposal is in full support of the state Long-range Duck Recovery Plan to add 2 million acres of habitat to the state by 2025. It also utilizes establishment of complexes, as per the plan, to achieve multiple conservation synergies and benefits.This plan helps fulfill multiple priorities specified by the LSOHC “Prairie Section Vision”, including permanent protection of existing prairies and wetlands, restoration of prairie and wetland habitats, building grassland/wetland complexes in blocks sufficient to increase migratory breeding bird success, enhancement of public lands for game species and other species of conservation need, and protection of watersheds of shallow lakes. Specifically, this proposal addresses “Prairie Section Strategies” 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 directly.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Neal,Feeken,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 W.

The Collaborative has also planted over two million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar.",,"Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species. In some places, this happens naturally. The area burned by the 2011 Pagami Creek fire is an example of this and is providing some excellent moose browse according to biologists. Most logging on uplands results in some regeneration of moose browse. However, there are tens of thousands of acres in moose range that will not see a natural browse regenerating event like fire or do not have enough volume of merchantable wood to make an economical timber sale. In these areas, the Collaborative used bulldozers, brush saw crews, and prescribed fires to shear, cut, and burn the old decadent brush and stimulate re-growth that is more palatable, nutritious, and easy to reach for moose.Cover for hiding from predators and protection from the elements is another part of the habitat equation. Research has shown that moose prefer forests with mixed conifer and deciduous trees. The pre-settlement forest in Northeast Minnesota was 70% conifers and 30% deciduous trees. Today that ratio is completely reversed with 70% deciduous and only 30% conifers. Improving cover habitat for moose means restoring conifers on the landscape. The Collaborative has planted over two million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar. The pine and cedar must be protected from browsing by deer and hare using budcaps or tree shelters. By the third year after planting, the seedlings need to be released from competition from surrounding trees and brush. This “release” is completed with brush saws which both helps the trees get established and produces another flush of future moose browse.A look at plat books for counties in Northeast Minnesota emphasizes the need for inter-agency partnerships to produce habitat results at a meaningful scale. The ownership pattern looks like a patchwork quilt of County, Federal, and State lands (private as well, but funds for this project are limited to public lands). There was not an acre that was worked on without some level of collaboration and cooperation between partner staff. The first cut at site selection was made by looking at forest inventory data and local knowledge of potential project areas. With time and experience, Collaborative partners have refined the search for good moose habitat projects and added and dropped stands as field visits were conducted. Proposals for specific work plans at each site were shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose. Partners decided who would manage the bidding and contracting, order necessary supplies, supervise the work, complete the documentation needed for invoicing, track the specifics of what was done at each site, and summarize accomplishments for grant reporting and other communication about the project as a whole. As the grant recipient, MDHA is ultimately responsible for the finances and reporting to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council. But, the work it takes to produce results involves many of the partnering agencies.The variety of combinations of roles and responsibilities between staff from MDHA, the Superior National Forest, Lake County Forestry, DNR, The Nature Conservancy, and the 1854 Treaty Authority that played out in completing the work was impressive. For example, Lake County Forestry may identify a potential project on lands they manage, a Forest Service biologist may review and approve it as a good moose project, the 1854 Treaty Authority might collect pre-treatment data that is being used to track effectiveness, The Nature Conservancy may order the trees and line up the planting crew, Lake County supervises the work, The Nature Conservancy again handles the documentation and site-specific data and finally MDHA pays the contractor’s invoice and then requests reimbursement in the form of State managed grant funds.Early sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M’s Natural Resources Research Institute, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated.",2012-07-01,2016-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jenny,Foley,"Minnesota Deer Hunters Association","460 Peterson Road","Grand Rapids",MN,55744,218-327-1103,kimn@mndeerhunters.com,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Cook, Lake, St. Louis","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/minnesota-moose-habitat-collaborative,,,, 36377,"Minnesota Festival Support",2017,8750,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3"," ACHF Cultural Heritage","We leverage the energy of the Minnesota music scene to expose Minnesota film to new audiences.

The Minnesota Zoo has more than 270,000 Google+ followers. Zoo Education ProgramOver 500 children participated in summer Zoo Camps specifically focused on Minnesota Natural Heritage, including the popular Minnesota Voyagers camp, which immersed participants in the natural treasures of our great state.  Campers even participated in a fishing excursion to a nearby lake.More than 1,000 students from nine different schools in Minnesota enjoyed a performance of “Tales Along the Minnesota Trail,” a theatrical performance in the Zoo’s Target Learning Center, in partnership with the Minnesota History Theater.  The play supported student learning in the areas of Native American history, different languages and cultures of Minnesota, links between Minnesota’s natural environment and cultural history, impacts of the arrival of European settlers to Minnesota, conservation of Minnesota natural resources, and Minnesota wildlife.Minnesota Natural Heritage Tours are now offered year-round to school groups visiting the Zoo.  Geared for elementary and middle school students, these active 45-minute naturalist led tours highlight the rich natural and cultural history of our great state.  Topics and activities support Minnesota’s social studies and science standards.  Tours are enhanced by a Minnesota Quest teacher curriculum guide that enables teachers to connect their experience along the Zoo’s Minnesota Trail back to the classroom.Teens and adults have the opportunity to explore the unique natural heritage of Minnesota through Zoo staff-led Travel Edventures across the state.  A group of teachers participated in a bird banding expedition to Hawk Ridge near Duluth in September 2014.  Upcoming Edventures include tracking wolves in Ely and exploring the prairies of western Minnesota to learn about the successful reintroduction of bison to their native territory.

In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, US Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Minnesota, and other conservation organizations, the Minnesota Zoo plays a significant role in these preservation efforts by addressing pressing wildlife conservation issues important to our State. Legacy funds allow the Minnesota Zoo to expand its field conservation and educational programs with a focus on animals and habitats closely aligned with Minnesota’s cultural identity. Bison Reintroduction Program Bison are among the most iconic animals associated with the central plains. Where millions once roamed vast portions of Minnesota, few bison genetically free of cattle genes remain today. Having exhibited descendants of these plains bison for years, the Minnesota Zoo is now cooperatively breeding and managing a bison herd with MN DNR for reintroduction into state parks. Prairie Butterfly Field Conservation In the 1800’s, prairie covered 18 million acres of Minnesota, or about a third of the state. Prairies and their native wildlife are an important part of Minnesota’s cultural heritage, but today, only about 1% of Minnesota’s native prairie remains. With the loss of native habitat, many of the wildlife species in Minnesota that depend on prairie have declined or even disappeared. Initiated with Legacy funding and now also supported by the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Zoo’s Prairie Butterfly Conservation Program aims to prevent the extinction of a number of prairie butterflies, understand the reasons for their declines, and ensure that populations are sustained long-term. In partnership with other state agencies and organizations, the Minnesota Zoo has established a captive conservation breeding program at the Zoo addressing some of Minnesota’s most threatened butterfly species, including the Dakota skipper and Poweshiek skipperling. In conjunction with its breeding program, the Zoo is supporting field work to monitor prairie butterfly populations and research on the threats that imperiled butterflies and other species may face in Minnesota’s prairies. Moose Conservation Field Research Moose, one of Minnesota’s most iconic wildlife species, are declining in Minnesota. In less than 20 years, moose in northwestern Minnesota declined from over 4,000 to fewer than 100. With high levels of adult and calf mortality, the northeastern Minnesota moose population, numbering 4,350 is now declining. There were approximately twice as many moose in northeastern Minnesota ten years ago as there are today. Working with the University of Minnesota and other researchers, the Minnesota Zoo has been conducting research on moose responses to warm temperatures, moose-wolf interactions, and parasite transmission between deer and moose that will inform moose management in the state and hopefully slow or prevent a decline in Minnesota moose population. Zoo Education Programs The Minnesota Zoo’s education department has expanded programs to enhance participants’ knowledge and appreciation of Minnesota’s natural heritage. These programs and experiences are designed to “connect” participants to the natural world, fostering a lifelong conservation ethic for the wild life and wild places of our State. Education programs supported by Legacy funding include: •Tales Along the Minnesota Trail – A theatrical performance offered to school groups visiting the Zoo that addresses Native American history, Minnesota languages and cultures, links between Minnesota’s natural environment and cultural history, and conservation of Minnesota natural resources. •Zoo Camp – Week-long summer day camp experiences focused specifically on Minnesota natural heritage, including the Minnesota Voyagers camp, which includes a fishing excursion to a nearby lake. •Minnesota Natural Heritage Trail Tours –Naturalist-led trail tours supporting Minnesota social studies and science standards offered as to school field trips. •Minnesota Quest Curriculum and Trail Guide – An on-line teacher’s guide to the Minnesota Trail that includes topics and activities to support Minnesota academic standards in Social Studies and Science. •Travel Edventures –Zoo staff-led field trips providing teens and adults the opportunity to explore the unique natural heritage of Minnesota. •Life on the Farm – Interpreting life on a traditional Minnesota working family farm to Zoo visitors.

The effort identifies significant natural areas and collects and interprets data on the status, distribution, and ecology of plants, animals, and native plant communities throughout the state. Through July 2011, surveys have been completed in 81 of Minnesota's 87 counties and have added nearly 17,000 new records of rare features to the DNR's information systems. MCBS data is used by all levels of government in natural resource planning and use decisions, including prioritization of protection of park lands and scientific and natural areas. This appropriation will permit continuation of the survey in Lake, St. Louis, Clearwater, and Beltrami counties and begin initial surveying in Koochiching and Lake of the Woods counties. Additionally one book will be published: a natural history guidebook of the Aspen Parkland-Red River Valley region of MN. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The need to protect and manage functional ecological systems, including ecological processes and component organisms continues to accelerate with increased demands for water and energy, continued habitat fragmentation, loss of species and genetic diversity, invasive species expansion, and changing environmental conditions. Since 1987 the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS) has systematically collected, interpreted and delivered baseline data on the distribution and ecology of plants, animals, native plant communities, and functional landscapes. These data help prioritize actions to conserve and manage Minnesota's ecological systems and critical components of biological diversity. During this project period baseline surveys continued, focused largely in northern Minnesota (see map). One highlight was data collection in remote areas of the patterned peatlands that included three helicopter-assisted field surveys coordinated with other researchers to increase the knowledge of this ecological system and to continue long-term collaborative monitoring. Another goal was to begin monitoring to measure the effectiveness of management and policy activities. For example, prairie vegetation and small white lady's slipper monitoring began in western Minnesota sites in response to ecological measures identified in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan 2010. MCBS also provided data and interpretation related to the DNR's forest certification goals and began monitoring activities in selected sites in the Aspen Parkland and in southeastern Minnesota. Since July 2011 new records of 929 rare features were added to the Rare Features Database. Since 1987, MCBS has added a total of 20,018 new rare feature records. Statewide 10,192 MCBS sites of Biodiversity Significance and 63,232 polygons of native plant communities are now publically available on the DNR's Data Deli. Since 1987, MCBS has contributed 4,972 of the 9,467 Minnesota vegetation plot records in the DNR's Releve (vegetation plot) Database.

The Clean Water Fund and OHF will be used equally as funding is made available.","MN continues to see a net loss of grasslands each year. Expiring CRP is the leading cause of this landscape change. This exodus is being driven by high land and commodity prices, and increased pressure for alternative uses and declining federal budgets for conservation programs. Minnesota's primary strategy to mitigate the loss of CRP is to target expiring contracts for enrollment into Continuous CRP (CCRP) practices (like buffers) and permanent easements for the most beneficial practices (e.g. wetland restoration, grasslands, and buffers). This program is one proven strategy to provide landowners with a sound option to keep targeted conservation on the land when economic incentives favor row crop production. This partnership program establishes permanent buffers that provide both critical water quality improvements and improved nesting habitat. For example, a buffer of 100' generally serves to protect water quality, while adding an additional 100' for wildlife greatly enhances nesting opportunities for wildlife. Establishing a minimum of 200' on each side of a stream for a total of 400' plus the natural corridor that already exists creates a block of habitat for nesting birds and a critical link between other permanently protected habitats.Criteria used to evaluate and prioritize buffers funded under this program include: does buffer build upon a Clean Water Fund Buffer, proximity to other permanently protected habitat, buffers within a designated shallow lake watershed, proximity to lands open to public hunting, plant diversity, overall size, and type of water resource being buffered. A competitive RIM Buffers application process for landowners will be used. The first four phases of this program have created landowner interest that far exceeds available funding. The goal for this new phase will be to increase funding from both LSOHC but also increase match from Clean Water Funding as well as USDA under new farm bill provisions. Wider buffers can provide longer term water quality treatment and provide better habitat. Buffers that are put in proximity to other grasslands also function at a higher level within the landscape for grassland nesting birds and other wildlife.RIM Buffers program delivery will be supported by Minnesota's Farm Bill Assistance Partnership which includes Minnesota BWSR, USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota DNR, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Prairie Pothole Joint Venture, Pheasants Forever, LCCMR and numerous local partners. Additionally, the RIM program will be delivered through SWCD's and administered by Minnesota BWSR.We propose that the LSOHC fund $4.544M in perpetual state RIM buffer easements that will build equally upon the RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund and/or new USDA programs such as CREP. Approximately 29 easements will be recorded for a total of 1200 acres. Half of these acres will be funded by OHF and half will be funded by CWF. This creates a unique partnership program to accomplish a single project with enhanced outcomes that could not otherwise be obtained with a single funding source. In the event equal match is not available during the project period, buffer areas for wildlife will be secured with available funds.",,2015-07-01,2020-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Tabor,Hoek,BWSR,"1400 E.

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

",,"Forest land ownership changes within recent years, primarily within the industrial forest ownerships, are occurring as the timber industry restructures and looks to obtain value from their land through real estate sales and recreational leases.  These sales can result in forest fragmentation or even outright conversion of forest lands, impact public recreational access including recreational trail routes, affect forest management access by public agencies across the impacted lands, degrade wildlife habitat and decrease the use of sustainable forestry practices. The current project has targeted two properties: 1) an industrial ownership located in northeastern Minnesota whose property adjoins and is commingled with thousands of acres of other public forests including those owned and managed by the state, Lake County and the Superior National Forest; and 2) a large privately owned publicly accessible property with lake shoreland and other riparian areas adjacent to already permanently conserved easement property located in an area of high forest conversion threat in Crow Wing County. LSOHC appropriations target priority projects as determined by the scoring criteria developed in consultation with the Minnesota Forests for the Future Advisory Committee (stakeholder group).  Projects may need to be scaled back or phased to accommodate the available funding.  Each of the two projects included in this report were located within program priority areas as identified by a GIS model that integrates recreational, ecological and economic data. These projects addressed forest fragmentation, habitat degradation, recreational and management access and sustainable forestry through perpetual conservation easements and fee acquisition that will protect the forest and wetland habitats in perpetuity, restrict forest parcelization and development, provide for public recreational access and public management access and promote sustainable forest management practices. The Minnesota Forests for the Future and Federal Forest Legacy Programs have proven to be cost effective programs for protecting private forest land habitat in Minnesota, while also providing public recreational and agency management access and ensuring sustainable forestry.  These programs have protected over 358,000 acres to date at an average cost of less than $300/acre.  Over $24 million in non-state funds have been leveraged for these protection efforts over the past 10 years.

The scope of work varied to match the site conditions, watershed characteristics, and address the specific population limiting factors. Severely degraded or unstable stream sections received comprehensive, large-scale habitat enhancements to restore stream function and in-stream trout habitat. These included intensive projects on Keene Creek in Duluth, West Indian Creek near Plainview, and Wisel Creek south of Rushford. These projects required extensive grading and modification of stream channel patterns to create habitat-filled, stable channels and restored floodplains. The increased pool habitat created on Keene Creek is crucial to survival of native brook trout populations in northern Minnesota during critical low-water periods in late summer and winter. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted labor availability and prevented implementation of smaller scale projects around the state. However, we adapted and pivoted to other good habitat enhancement opportunities that could be completed with less DNR involvement and without crews using hand labor. Most of these opportunities were in southeast Minnesota. In southeast Minnesota, we completed projects along approximately 6 miles of Diamond Creek, East Indian Creek and Trout Run Creek.

Contact grants@mnhs.org","This project provided the Minnetonka Historical Society (MHS) with two essential tools needed for a collecting institution. First, the policy outlined a set of procedures to monitor collections related activities and a reference guide for staff and volunteers, providing uniformity and consistency even as volunteers and board members change. Second, it will assist MHS in maintaining its collections records. The policy and procedures formalize MHS's collecting efforts, and assures future donors and the public that there is a plan in place to care for their collections in perpetuity. The Minnetonka Historical Society's (MHS) goal for the collections management project was to develop a comprehensive Collections Management Policy. Museology created a specific, realistic, and usable Collections Management Policy and Procedures (CMP) that will influence the day-to-day handling of MHS's collections. This tool establishes responsibility for collections management on both the policy-making level and daily implementation level, museum ethics and legal aspects of collecting, acquisition and accessioning, deaccessioning and disposal, basic collections care and preservation, intellectual control of the collections, inventory procedure, risk management and security, access to and use of collections, incoming and outgoing loans, and intellectual property rights. The policy adheres to the American Alliance of Museums Code of Ethics and the American Association of State and Local History Statement of Professional Standards and Ethics. The CMP also includes useful worksheets and forms for managing collections. Forms include a temporary custody receipt, deed of gift, incoming and outgoing loans, accession and loan ledgers, condition report, inventory and catalog worksheets, and deaccessioning documentation. This project produced the expected results, and will provide a launchpad for other collections-based activities. For example, MHS plans to apply for funding for an inventory gain intellectual control of its collection, as well as the purchase of PastPerfect software and related hardware. Future goals include an inventory of the entire collection and upgrades to collections storage that meets museum standards through purchase of shelving, boxes, folders, and other supplies. These projects will fulfill two of the long-term goals of the project. This project was considered successfully complete after the consultant submitted to MHS a clear, written Collections Management Policy and Procedures and provided training to MHS volunteers and board members.The project was evaluated through qualitative analysis, using factors such as compliance with applicable standards, developing appropriate policy and procedures for the MHS collection, ability to complete the project on time and on budget, and anecdotal evidence of understanding among participants in training.",,,"Available upon request.

A vital force in all life processes, microorganisms play a major role in the river's water quality through the biological and chemical processing they provide and as indicators of how human activity is impacting water quality. However, relatively little is actually known about as much as 99% of the microorganisms present in the river. Improved understanding of these microorganisms and the effects they have on water quality will greatly enhance efforts by federal, state, and local agencies to maintain and improve the Mississippi River's water quality. Scientists at the University of Minnesota are using this appropriation to use DNA sequencing and chemical analysis technologies to capture for the first time a more complete picture of the diversity and function of microorganisms in the river and how they influence water quality. As part of this effort, hands-on student and teacher participation and public engagement through educational exhibits will help improve public understanding of the importance of the river and water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS A metagenomics-based sequencing approach was utilized to characterize the bacterial community at sites along the Mississippi River in Minnesota to understand how these communities were influenced by or indicative of water quality. Results of this study revealed that the bacterial community throughout the river primarily consisted of a small number of highly abundant species that comprise a ""core microbial community"" that was stable both in terms of community membership and inferred functional traits. Variation in community membership and species abundances were primarily influenced by physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH and temperature) rather than spatial distance, and a reproducible community structure occurred annually toward the late summer. Furthermore, specific bacterial orders were related to chemical concentrations that co-varied with surrounding land use, suggesting that increases in abundance of these orders may be indicative of specific types of contamination throughout the river. Therefore, assessment of the total bacterial community provides more information about water quality and contamination sources than could be previously gleaned from traditional enumeration of indicator bacteria like Escherichia coli. In addition to these findings, construction of fosmid libraries to assess resistance of the bacterial community to antibiotics and heavy metals revealed that levels of resistance to both were low throughout the river. Municipal wastewater treatment was not associated with increased antibiotic resistance, but proximity to agricultural wastewater increased the frequency of resistance to the antibiotics kanamycin and ampicillin. Furthermore, the resistances to the heavy metals Cd and Cr were significantly elevated in primarily developed (urban) areas. These results indicate the influence of anthropogenic contaminants on the distribution of functional traits throughout the river. Results of this project as well as dissemination of these results are further discussed in an attached Final Report. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Results of this study have been presented at national meetings of the American Society for Microbiology and submitted to peer-reviewed scientific journals for publication.

This parcel sits between two large tracts of forested public land along the Mississippi, creating a 9+ mile stretch of undeveloped shoreline which become one of the largest contiguous blocks of protected lake/river shoreline in the Brainerd lakes area—in addition to being one of its most scenic. The lands are adjacent to the Crow Wing County Memorial Forest, the Loerch State Wildlife Management Area, the State of Minnesota’s School Trust lands and Crow Wing County tax forfeited land (managed as forestland). The lands contain several unique habitat features including the Mississippi River watershed, the Sand Creek trout stream, approximately 240 acres of wetland, and forestland comprising of aspen/birch, jack, red and white pine, oak, and lowland hardwoods. The Mississippi River is clearly one of the most important freshwater resources in the State of Minnesota and beyond. A significant portion of this property fronts the Mississippi’s Stump Bay, a lake-like basin originally formed by the paper mill dam downstream in Brainerd. Stump Bay, and the larger basin around it, has characteristics of both river and lake habitats which provide a diversity of niches and support the area’s best cosmopolitan fisheries, including a world- class bass fishery. As a major migratory bird route, the Mississippi River basin is used by 60% of all birds found in North America, including waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, and neotropical songbirds. The forest and riparian forest habitats of this project area are known to support osprey, Canada goose, great blue heron, killdeer, common snipe, American woodcock, and ruffed grouse. There are at least two bald eagle nests documented in the subject area. This section of the Mississippi River “flyway” is especially critical for waterfowl such as wood duck, mallard, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, hooded merganser, and American coot. The open waters of the bay uniquely serve as an early spring stopover for waterfowl before the lakes thaw. The wild rice foliage found in the bay and along the shore of this area provides security cover and loafing sites for migrating ducks; the wild rice kernals provide critical food source. 240 acres of wetland found within this project area are also critical brooding and feeding area for waterfowl. Mammals associated with the upland, wetland, lowland and riparian habitats of the acquired area include whitetail deer, gray wolf, coyote, red fox, river otter, beaver, muskrat, striped skunk, raccoon, opossum, weasel, mink, fisher, marten, porcupine, bobcat, black bear, red squirrel, shrews, pocket gopher, voles, bats, least chipmunk, gray squirrel, northern flying squirrel, cottontail rabbit and snowshoe hare. Reptiles and amphibians utilizing the wetland, riparian and upland habitats include the wood frog, spring peeper, western chorus frog, gray tree frog, northern leopard frog, green frog, American toad, blue-spotted salamander, tiger salamander, garter snake, redbelly snake, painted turtle, snapping turtle, and Blanding’s turtle, a MN DNR Threatened Species. A number of occurrences of the Blanding’s turtle, a MN DNR Threatened Species, have been documented on the property and there have been at least two eagle nests documented in the subject area. The contiguous forest block that is provided by this property will benefit all of these species as well as other rare species that depend on forested wetland and riparian areas. Conservation of this reach of the Mississippi River is extremely valuable in protection of water quality. The acquired forest lands are now dual certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and Forest Stewardship Council standards, ensuring a 9+ mile stretch of consistent forest management. The land buffers and enhances two other tracts of public land, resulting in a 6,207 acre block of contiguous forest lands on the Mississippi River in the popular recreational Brainerd Lakes area of north-central Minnesota. The public has access to these waters and forest lands for fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, skiing, snow-shoeing, nature viewing, hiking, restricted camping, horseback riding and other recreational activities. The property continues to host a popular snowmobile trail, important because of its proximity just 5 miles from downtown Brainerd. While conversion of forest lands into development properties in the Brainerd Lakes area has fragmented forests as well as these types of recreational trail systems, this acquisition will provide raw materials for the region’s forest products economy which in turn provides base economy jobs for Minnesota citizens. The public has gained in a less tangible but no less important way from the protected landscape, noise buffering and air and water quality benefits provided by these forested lands. This acquisition will provide a future opportunity to complete a critical linkage between the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail and the Paul Bunyan State Trail, both part of the Mississippi River Trail which is envisioned to be a 3,000 mile world class bicycling route, extending from the headwaters at Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. The project had considerable support from a large and diverse collection of stakeholders including hunting and angling clubs, community foundations, natural resource organizations and trails organizations; such as Anglers for Habitat, Delta Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited, Minnesota Deerhunters, MNDNR, Ruffed Grouse Society, The Nature Conservancy The Trust for Public Land; and more. The Trust for Public Land provided the leadership and coordination role needed in this conservation effort. Working together with these other stakeholders, The Trust for Public Land had endeavored to protect this particular stretch of Mississippi River land now known as Mississippi River Northwoods for over a decade. No fewer than three efforts were made over the 10-year period to protect this unique property using various protection tools, funding sources, and possible stewardship scenarios. These previous efforts were not successful due to a variety of factors including insufficient funding, differences of opinion about who should be the long term steward and not reaching agreement with the landowner on the terms of a sale. In approximately 2009, however, the long-time landowner, Potlatch Corporation, converted from a forest product company to a Real Estate Investment Trust and underwent a number of staffing changes. They increased their sale and development of land in Minnesota and in 2010 it was learned that they intended to develop the Mississippi River Northwoods parcel. After lengthy negotiations, The Trust for Public Land was able to reach an option agreement with the company for the purchase of this land for conservation in the spring of 2011. Shortly thereafter, The Trust for Public Land submitted an application for funding to LSOHC to protect this land. Originally it was thought that the DNR might be the permanent steward of this land given the importance of the land and the agency’s long-time involvement with and interest in its protection. Ultimately, it was determined that Crow Wing County would be the permanent steward of this land due to a variety of factors including this land’s proximity to other County-owned land. Accordingly, the County eventually became the grant applicant. As the holder of the option agreement with Potlatch, The Trust for Public Land continued to play an active role in this protection effort. It coordinated and paid for all the due diligence on the land including environmental assessments, appraisals, and title review. The Trust for Public Land also coordinated and managed education and outreach related to this protection effort with the many and various stakeholders mentioned above. The Trust for Public Land further assisted the County in thinking about how the land would be managed with this proposed funding alongside other county-owned lands as well as the critical conversations that took place with LSOHC and the Legislature in 2011-2012 that led to ultimate appropriation of OHF dollars. On November 29, 2012, The Trust for Public Land purchased the land from Potlatch for its appraised fair market value of $11 million and sold the land on the same day to Crow Wing County for the same amount. The Trust for Public Land continued to work alongside Crow Wing County, partners listed above and the LSOHC in 2012-2013 to re-introduce area residents and other stakeholders to the recently-protected and publicly-accessible Mississippi River Northwoods land through a series of written summaries, press pieces, celebrations and river outings. The County is proposing a change in the use and interest in 142 acres of the Mississippi River Northwoods acquisition. The parcel, located along Highway 210, has economic viability and opportunity to increase the County’s tax base. The County’s proposal would include a land exchange and transfer of the deed restriction to another County managed property adjoining the Mississippi River and Northwoods property. The County’s proposal will meet the procedures and criteria identified by the Lessard Sams Outdoor Heritage Council for the change of use and replacement of interest. The identified properties will be equal in fair market value, in a reasonable equivalent location and have a reasonably equivalent useful conservation purpose. A copy of the fact sheet is attached to this report The $3M in leverage identified in Trust For Public Lands's original budget for this acquisition listed Parks and Trails Legacy and RIM as additional sources of funding. The leverage dollars were not needed or applied for because the second appraisal came in $3M lower than the original appraisal.","Final Report",2012-07-01,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Kirk,Titus,"Crow Wing County (Land Supervisor)","322 Laurel St., Suite 12",Brainerd,MN,56401,218-824-1138,kirk.titus@crowwing.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Crow Wing","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/mississippi-northwoods-habitat-complex-protection,,,, 37408,"Mississippi River - Headwaters Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) - Phase 2",2017,48350,,,,,,,,,,,0.61,"Hubbard County SWCD","Local/Regional Government","Several important milestones will be completed during this phase of the Mississippi River (Headwaters) Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) project.

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

This accomplishment exceeded the appropriation goal by 178%. Utilizing fee-title acquisition and RIM conservation easements adjacent to public land, large habitat protection complexes were established, including one complex in Crow Wing County that protected over 9 contiguous miles along the Mississippi River. This Project is a partnership of the Mississippi Headwaters Board, The Trust for Public Land, and BWSR assisted by 7 Headwaters SWCDs. ",,"Public lands adjacent to the Mississippi River were increasingly in danger of losing habitat connectivity as private lands were under more development  pressure potentially causing fragmentation of forests and critical upland and shoreland habitats.  Creating or enlarging permanently protected upland habitat complexes would insure that game and non-game wildlife have a secure place to raise their young, seek shelter and food, and move around without disturbance and protect water quality as a necessary fish habitat while at the same time maintaining and opening up new opportunities for public recreation.    Fee-title acquisition with final public ownership (either the DNR or a headwaters' county) and RIM conservation easements were the tools used in strategic locations to create or expand permanently protected habitat corridors. (see the answers to questions below for the scientific methodology used to select priority parcels for land conservation). The targeted geography for the project was the minor watershed corridor of the first 400 miles of the Mississippi River, its major tributaries, and headwaters lakes.   Project partners (MHB, TPL, and BWSR) defined initial priorities for the project that guided the implementation of this Phase 1 (ML16) and subsequent phases for the Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Corridor Project.  (1) The acquired parcels, in fee-title or easement, were targeted towards the Mississippi River corridor to protect access to public lands and provide multiple benefits for hunting, fishing, and outdoor heritage experiences.  (2) Acquisition priorities were to be focused on parcels that were adjacent to existing County, State, or Federal lands along the Mississippi River headwaters corridor to increase habitat and corridor connectivity; and (3) Prospective parcels were to be ranked according to their habitat quality, public access, location, size, and supporting conservation plans by a Technical Committee comprised of the project partners and other public agency and private conservation entities to insure all parcels selected meet program criteria.  The completion of Phase 1 resulted in the permanent protection of 1,478 acres and 11 miles of shoreland achieved through 11 RIM conservation easements with private landowners, a 331-acre addition to a state forest, a 160-acre addition to a county forest, and the creation of a new 234-acre WMA with over two miles of shoreland. In Crow Wing County alone, the combination of fee-title acquisition and several RIM easements adjacent to existing public land created a 9 mile contiguous permanently protected wildlife corridor along the Mississippi River.  Exceptional support from the 8 Headwater’s county boards was a critical component of this Phase 1’s success as trust was built around common heritage and conservation goals.  Phase 2 (ML 17) and Phase 3 (ML18) are nearing completion with all money appropriated for acquisition dedicated to landowner projects that are completed or in process.  The appropriation of Phase 4 (ML 20), which began several months ago, is already 40% committed to projects.   The Headwaters Habitat Corridor Project partners thank LSOHC and the legislature for their support of this ML 16 appropriation’s initial vision of protecting the “Mighty Mississippi” river for the benefit of current and future generations.

",,"We take a programmatic approach to acquisition, with scoring systems specific to fee-title Aquatic Management Areas, and trout stream conservation easements, respectively, to determine priority of candidate parcels.  An outstanding parcel that scored well for multiple criteria was available in Itasca County.   All of the available fee-title funding for this appropriation was used on this parcel.  Other funding also contributed to this acquisition. Candidate parcels for trout stream conservation easements are also scored and ranked with relevant criteria specific to trout streams.  DNR Central Office program staff work with the Fish and Wildlife Acquisition unit and field staff to identify candidate parcels with landowners willing to sell conservation easements, and prioritize candidates based on scores.  Trout stream easements are valued using the formula in statute, so the landowner knows the maximum value from the start of the acquisition process.   This appropriation was one of two in which Fish and Wildlife Division staff in DNR partnered with the Division of Forestry to target forest easement acquisition in priority watersheds.  The overlapping objectives central to this partnership are protecting water quality, and maintaining sustainable working forests on private land.  Both Division of Forestry and Division of Fish and Wildlife staff conducted outreach with lake associations in the 5 watersheds to explain the program, identify interested landowners, and provide application materials.  Applications filled out by interested landowners meeting sign-up criteria were scored by staff in both the Fish and Wildlife Division and Forestry Division of DNR.  Parcels meeting criteria were appraised, and offers made to the landowners.  While acquisition of easements was completed on two parcels, landowners declined the offer for a significant parcel in Hubbard County.

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

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

",,"The Minnesota Moose Collaborative has implemented a variety of habitat enhancement treatments across the core of moose range in Northeast Minnesota on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands since 2013.  Improving moose browse calls for treatments that regenerate preferred brush and tree species.  In some places this happens through natural or human disturbance.  Natural disturbances like wildfires provide excellent moose browse according to biologists.  Most logging on uplands results in some regeneration of moose browse.  However, there are tens of thousands of acres in moose range that will not see a natural browse regenerating event like fire or do not have enough volume of merchantable wood to make an economical timber sale.  In these areas the collaborative used bulldozers, brush saw crews, and prescribed fires to shear, cut, and burn the old decadent brush and stimulate re-growth that is more palatable, nutritious, and easy to reach for moose.   Cover for hiding from predators and protection from the elements is another part of the habitat equation.  Research has shown that moose prefer forests with mixed conifer and deciduous trees.  The pre-settlement forest in Northeast MN was 70% conifers and 30% deciduous trees.  Today that ratio is completely reversed with 70% deciduous and only 30% conifers. Improving cover habitat for moose means restoring conifers on the landscape.  The Minnesota Moose Habitat Collaborative has planted close to 3 million trees including white spruce, white pine, jack pine, and white cedar.  The pine and cedar must be protected from browsing by deer and hare using budcaps or tree shelters.  By the third year after planting, the seedlings need to be released from competition from surrounding trees and brush.  The collaborative accomplished this “release” with brush saws which both helps the trees get established and produces another flush of future moose browse. A look at plat books for counties in Northeast Minnesota quickly emphasizes the need for inter-agency partnerships to produce habitat results at a meaningful scale.  The ownership pattern looks like a patchwork quilt of County, Federal, and State lands (private as well but funds for this project are limited to public lands).   There is not an acre that gets worked on without some level of collaboration and cooperation between partner staff.  The first cut at site selection was made by looking at forest inventory data and local knowledge of potential project areas.  With time and experience, collaborative partners have refined the search for good moose habitat projects and added and dropped stands as field visits were conducted.   Proposals for specific work plans at each site are shared with wildlife biologists for their approval as beneficial to moose.  Partners decided who will manage the bidding and contracting, order necessary supplies, supervise the work, complete the documentation needed for invoicing, track the specifics of what was done at each site, and summarize accomplishments for grant reporting and other communication about the project as a whole.  As the grant recipient, MDHA is ultimately responsible for the finances and reporting to the Lessard Sams Outdoor Heritage Council.  But, the work it takes to produce results involves many of the partnering agencies.  The variety of combinations of roles and responsibilities between staff from MDHA, the Superior National Forest, Lake County Forestry, DNR, The Nature Conservancy, and the 1854 Treaty Authority that play out in completing the work is impressive.  For example, Lake County Forestry may identify a potential project on lands they manage,  a Forest Service biologist may review and approve it as a good moose project,  the 1854 Treaty Authority might collect pre-treatment data that is being used to track effectiveness,  The Nature Conservancy may order the trees and line up the planting crew, Lake County supervises the work, The Nature Conservancy again handles the documentation and site specific data and finally MDHA pays the contractor’s invoice and then requests reimbursement in the form of State managed grant funds. Field sampling and aerial surveys conducted by the 1854 Treaty Authority, U of M's Natural Resources Research Institute, the Fond Du Lac Band, and other agency and tribal biologists are showing that moose are preferentially using the sites that were treated through this project.

The County ranks 10th and 13th in the State for corn and bean production, making much of the land vulnerable to erosion due to the planting of row crop.

Unless conservation practices that include erosion control and buffers along the county's surface waters are implemented, it is likely that soil loss through water erosion will increase. By using models to target high risk erosion lands, the Mower Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has determined that between 49,000 and 62,000 acres in the county have the potential of eroding greater than the tolerable level.

This project will give the SWCD an opportunity to use their computer models and technology to prioritize areas and make a real difference by doing compliance checks and working with producers in those vulnerable areas.

To perform the research, their curator's hours were increased to determine exhibit themes, create a tentative floor plan for the exhibit, and determine cost estimates for an implementation project. Their curator was able to identify themes relating to Mower County's contributions to World War II. Emphasis was placed on identifying soldiers and their experiences, activities at home that contributed to the war effort, and economic effects of the war on local businesses. By completing this research phase, the curator now has background information to move forward with the implementation of a new exhibit in 2014. By completing this project, the Mower County Historical Society will now be able to create a new permanent exhibit that allows visitors to learn about Mower County during World War II. Additional oral histories can be gathered to enhance the understanding of this time period. With the new exhibit, the historical society will be able to create a new exhibit that meets museum standards and best practices, which in turn will showcase the professional abilities of their staff.

For several years, sections of the river have been negatively impacted from too much soil/sediment eroding from the land and washing away into the water. Excess sediment degrades aquatic habitat and feeds algae blooms. This project continues a 2012 Clean Water Fund collaborative effort to develop a plan to reduce the amount of sediment washed into the river. Implementing conservation practices on agricultural land will annually reduce a total of 12,727 tons of sediment and 12,727 pounds of phosphorus loading into the Mustinka River. Several high priority projects will be constructed including three sediment control basins for Randy Island and one sediment basin for three local landowners in Grant County. This project includes staff time and resources for project development and promotion of an estimated 1,680 acres of buffers and 126 acres of wetland restorations within the project area. In addition, one-on-one technical assistance will be provided to landowners for the enrollment of at least 48 contracts with a total of 480 acres of Continuous CRP buffers and 18 contracts with a total of 368 acres of wetland restorations within the entire project area.

The intermediate goal of this project was also completed withing the alloted time: this included completing the documentation of the site, artifacts, and analysis. All paperwork has been digitized, maps of the site created, photographs logged, artifacts identified and dated (when possible). Two types of analyses are incomplete, and those are the specialized analysis of the animal remains and the macrobotanical analysis of the flotation samples recovered from the features. These specialized analyses require a more long-term research program. We hope that these analyses will be finalized within the next year. The long-term goal of this project, publication and preservation, is ongoing. This is mostly due to the fact that the excavations provided little definite information on the historical context. It is thus difficult to relate the recovered data to a particular time period, as the connection to the fur trade is not well established by the artifacts recovered.",,,"Available upon request.

Natural and scenic areas provide for public use, protection of species and natural communities, appreciation of scenic vistas, and scientific and educational opportunities. This appropriation will allow the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to provide up to six matching grants to cities, counties, townships, or school districts for acquisition of approximately 150 acres of new or expanded natural and scenic areas. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSThe overall aim of this project is to ensure protection of natural and scenic resources by helping and encouraging local governments to acquire and protect land for appropriate public use, protection of natural communities, appreciation of scenic vistas, and scientific and environmental education purposes. This is achieved through competitive, matching grants through the Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program that provides financial incentive and ensures the land and natural resources are retained for public use in perpetuity. The primary results of the project were:Six grants totaling $975,000 resulted in the acquisition of 166.9 acres of natural and scenic areas. All grants were matched by local dollars of at least $975,000.Grants included Blue Earth County, acquisition of 41 acres adjacent to the Red Jacket Trail that includes wooded hillsides, meadows and a meandering creek that flows into the LeSueur River; the City of Brainerd, acquisition of 37 acres along the Mississippi River with 1,300 feet of shoreline to provide opportunities for low impact nature based outdoor recreation; the City of Elk River, acquisition of 22.6 acres of historic and scenic property with over 3,300 feet of natural, largely untouched shoreline at the confluence of the Mississippi and Elk Rivers; two grants to the City of Maplewood, acquisition of 48 acres of land that contains rolling hills, bluff top and steep slopes and views from the bluff tops look out over the Mississippi River Valley and Fish Creek; and the City of Prior Lake, acquisition of 18 acres with approximately 1,545 feet of lakeshore and 100 feet of shoreline on Prior Creek.Project administration for the program was completed for $25,000.

Elm Creek flows into the Blue Earth River, which flows into the Minnesota River. Elm Creek is currently listed as impaired for fish bioassessments, turbidity, and fecal coliform. The four projects will use site specific techniques and state of the art channel design. These projects include the addition of log and rock vanes as well as tree revetments and willow cuttings when needed. Instead of using rock riprap, this project will only place a minimal amount of rock at the toe of the slope for stability. The vanes reduce the velocity and energy during peak flows and redirect the current toward the center of the channel, which in turn reduces flooding, streambank erosion, and helps reduce phosphorus carrying sediment. One of the projects will redirect a small area from its current channel, which is straight and erosive, to a lengthier, meandering channel. These 4 projects will serve as a model for future projects because of the ideal locations and the vulnerable conditions of these sites.

We help partners identify, develop, target, design and/or implement on-the-ground projects that improve water quality, enhance habitat and protect infrastructure. We help design restorations that provide lasting benefits by mimicking features of healthy ecosystems. Land use experts work with communities interested in strengthening local policies that help protect sensitive areas like shorelands and floodplains. ","Healthy watersheds (the area of land that drains to the water body) and healthy shorelands and floodplains (areas where the land meets the water) are critical for clean water in streams and lakes. The shoreland is home to the majority of plants and animals in the lake ecosystem. Trees, shrubs, and deep-rooted native grasses and wildflowers prevent shoreline erosion and trap sediment, excess phosphorus and other pollution, preventing it from entering lakes. Healthy floodplains and streams restored using natural channel design principles help manage increased stream flows, reduce sediment-related pollution and protect aquatic and riparian habitat. However, many of our shoreland and floodplain ecosystems are severely degraded or vulnerable to erosion and damage. We use information from our studies of stream flow, stream stability, streambank erosion, lake levels, and lake biology to work with local partners on enduring solutions that address the root causes of water quality issues, restore or protect habitat and increase the resiliency of land and infrastructure near water (especially at road/river crossings).

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

All land acquired has been enrolled into the state Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Program and will be protected and managed in perpetuity by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. We have worked together with federal, state and local partners when acquiring both parcels which will now be celebrated as new WMAs. These new WMAs not only provides access and recreational opportunities for all Minnesotans, but helps address a strong need to provide more secure nesting and brood rearing habitat for sharp-tailed grouse near existing leks. The offers to the landowner were based on fair market values and appraisals. The acquired parcels addressed a backlog of willing sellers that now are helping slow the loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat in Minnesota. Parcels were identified in partnership with the MN Sharp-tailed Grouse Society and the MN DNR, ranked, and prioritized on habitat goals and feasibility. Our methods are formed around the principle of accelerating the Wildlife Production Area program in MN by targeting only the best available habitat with willing sellers. We utilize local partner expertise to focus on building a system of interconnected wildlife complexes that create habitat mosaics. We also utilize the latest geospatial layers to help determine factors such as: habitat restoration potential, landscape scale significance, presence of rare features and native habitat, and how these acquisitions fit into other priorities for our partners. Similar to the Sharp-Tailed Grouse Habitat Partnership Phase 2, this proposal was amended and approved by the council to reduce our acre goal. We came to the council to reduce the obligated acres from the original proposal because of the importance of the Gun Lake parcel and the fact that it costs more per acre than anticipated. The council approved these changes because of this parcels wildlife value which includes multiple sharp-tail leks, water mitigation credits, a DNR history of grouse viewing blinds. Gun Lake WMA is a complex of 762 acres of contiguous habitat. All parcels acquired have been restored and/or enhanced to as a high quality as practicable. All agricultural row crops on these parcels have been or will be restored to native grassland/wetland complexes. The grasslands were restored using a broadcast or drill seeded method with a diverse mix of native grasses and forb species. Wetlands were restored using a combination of tile breaking, sediment removal, dike construction, and water control structures. Scattered invasive tree removal and prescribed fire were used where appropriate to enhance existing grassland habitat after protection.

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

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

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

We 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.

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.

Goals for 2013 include completing the physical space design, call for bids, and selection of contractors; creating and launching a fundraising plan; and identifying and implementing the lower-cost components of the plan. Although our fiscal year 2013 goal, set in January 2012, was to complete the redesign planning process, we were able to complete the project itself by June 2013, finishing the redesign work and creating the related educational exhibitions, demonstration space, and moveable walls. As observed by gallery staff, visiting time has increased substantially; and more than half of all visitors, regardless of age, engage with the hands-on activities in the educational area. The redesign allowed us to increase our engagement with a wide variety of audiences by expanding our programming, including an exhibition in conjunction with the Ramsey County Historical Society's New Land/New Life exhibition; an art spoon show featuring Minnesota artists, and co-hosting Cocktails With Culture, a series of four events with the Schubert Club and Minnesota Landmarks. 2: We are documenting our permanent collection artwork, and sections of our permanent collection will be displayed on our Web site by June 2012. Our 2013 goal is to present virtual exhibits from our permanent collection on our Web site.

Through hands-on educational displays, historical exhibits, and regularly scheduled artist demonstrations, in addition to our art exhibitions, we are able to engage visitors in learning about this often unfamiliar craft and art form. The educational exhibitions illustrate the artistic and design decisions behind familiar, and seemingly mundane, objects like bowls and balusters, as well as sculptures, encouraging an awareness of form and material. The redesign, including moveable walls, has made it possible to host concurrent exhibitions, increasing our ability to feature local and regional artists, and present collaborative exhibitions and events with other institutions. 2: With the guidance of a professional registrar, a more complete database of objects than originally planned has been completed. Artist-related resources, including biographical information, articles, and Web links have been added, along with more detailed information on materials and techniques.

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

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

We used three methods of evaluation to garner impact on student learning: 1) the descriptive and reflective protocol process for planning and evaluation with teachers/student responses documented in writing, 2) teacher and artist informal observations during the instructional sessions, and 3) a written survey filled out by students and teachers to determine the depth of learning about both environmental and art concepts at the conclusion of the residency.

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

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.

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.

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

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

COMPAS will partner with at least five different types of community organizations. In all COMPAS arts residencies, participants will create at least one piece of original art. At least 80% of COMPAS performances and workshops will engage participants interactively, present a cultural perspective, and deepen their understanding of an art form. COMPAS uses a variety of evaluation practices. COMPAS staff, customers, and teaching artists all participate in measuring the results of our arts programs. Evaluations are filled out by one or more teachers or administrators at a site and by artists; COMPAS staff makes site visits; and follow-up meetings among site staff, artists, and COMPAS staff are used to discuss items not covered in the standard evaluation. Evaluations track items such as how well: 1) the art form was taught; 2) the teaching artist engaged the participants; 3) customer-specific goals were met; 4) the artist communicated with the teacher/administrator, prepared them for upcoming activities, and passed on skills they can use after the program ended. Each long-term arts program includes a final presentation or performance that lets participants demonstrate their newly developed skills in a meaningful way and allows invited community members to see the results for themselves. 2: People of many ages, ethnicities, and abilities will participate in COMPAS programs. COMPAS will engage as many (or more) individuals and organizations in the arts as were served in fiscal year 2012. At least one-third of COMPAS' roster artists will be people of color. COMPAS programs will reach individuals and organizations in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. COMPAS tracks the number of participants and sites served through its programs. Since COMPAS is a state-wide organization, it is our goal to work in all eight congressional districts. This is achieved through building on our partnerships and developing new ones with schools and other community organizations. This year COMPAS looked for artists with cultural connections to immigrant populations and new art forms. Artists added included Kim Sueoka/Lau Hawaiian Collective (Hawaiian music); Victor Yepez (Ecuadorian muralist), John Akre (animation), Gita Ghei (East Indian, copper sculpture), and Sarah Nassif (screen printing). We also added artists of African American heritage and artists doing art forms already represented, such as fiction writing and photography.","COMPAS partnered with 93 different school sites, ranging from Tri-County Schools in Kittson County to the State Academy for the Blind in Faribault; libraries (Dakota County Library system); older adult centers and residential facilities (Lyngblomsten and Ebenezer); hospitals (Children's Hospitals of Minnesota in St Paul and Minneapolis); and recreation centers and social service agencies (Boys and Girls Clubs: East Side and West Side, Mount Airy). All the work we do - whether it be residencies, performances, or workshops - is focused on extracting originality and fine arts work. We offer every site the opportunity for a community event, and our artists use this venue to share the emerging work of students. We continue to emphasize interaction in all phases of our work. Providing the cultural context to understand a piece of art, and the historical niche in which it fits, is vital. 2: COMPAS worked with people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities during fiscal year 2013. Largely due to funding challenges faced by schools, we moved from serving 48,000+ students at 151 sites, to 32,000+ students at 130 sites. By contrast, our Arts In Health Care program increased by over 20% (from 2,994 participants to 3,834). Our roster is 42% artists of color. Aside from representing major United States ethnic groups, they also come from countries such as Ghana, Indonesia, Ecuador, and India (as well as Caucasian-majority countries like Sweden and Russia). COMPAS reaches individuals in all eight Minnesota congressional districts. Examples include: 1: Owatonna, Rochester (Bamber Valley); 2: Faribault (Minnesota State Academy for the Blind, Henderson (Hilltop); 3: St Louis Park (Aquila), Hopkins (Meadowbrook); 4: St Paul (Highland Park High), Roseville (Parkview Center); 5: Minneapolis (Anwatin Middle); 6: Clear Lake (Clearview), Woodbury (Bailey); 7: Roseau, Morris; 8: Duluth (Lowell), Aitkin (Rippleside).",,1122000,Other,1162851,2000,"Cheryl Bock, Mimi Stake, Yvette Trotman, Pamela Johnson, Nasir Raja, Roderic Hernub Southall, Robert Erickson, Christina Koppang, Diane Kuhlmann, Louis Porter II, Celena Plesha, Susan Rotilie, Michelle Silverman, Irene Suddard, Theresa Murray",,"COMPAS, Inc.

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

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

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

The measureable outcomes that we intend to achieve are to increase the numbers of audience members across the state, as well as in the metropolitan area. The evaluation plan was to survey anonymously at several Sinfonia events. The Sinfonia surveyed audiences at two winter concerts, nineteen Music in the School Partners and four of eight outstate venues. The surveys confirmed that the Sinfonia was meeting its goals of having many differing segments of the population participating in the arts, and that approximately 2,500 audience members were added outstate. Audience sizes are estimates based on hall capacities and input from hosts. Surveys report a wide diversity in audience makeup: 1) over 30% have household incomes below $35,000, 2) over 30% attend few other professional arts events, 3) audiences come from across the metro, 4) many children attend (no numbers, but visual counts have put the number at some venues close to 30%), 5) rural audiences were made up of over 65% with household incomes below $35,000, 6) 75% attend fewer than two professional orchestra concerts. 2: The Sinfonia would also like to increase the numbers of participating students, artists, and audience members of all ages, ethnicities, income levels, and abilities. The evaluation plan included surveys, visuals, and actual counts. Survey outcomes are listed above. The Sinfonia was able to accurately count the number of students in our contests and youth outreach week activities. They remained quite constant with last years numbers, increasing only slightly (by 5-6 participants). The count of students participating in Music in the Schools is an approximation from the participating partner schools, and fairly accurate. The accurate count of artists was listed in the preceding question, also up a modest amount. The count and makeup of audience members is from our surveys and our visual approximations. We know this by how many seats there are per venue and how big of a percentage of those seats are filled, as well as the ages, ethnicities and income levels from our extensive surveys.","Outcomes achieved were: 1) People of all ages, ethnicities and abilities were able to participate as audience members, students, or artists with the Sinfonia. Audiences numbers either increased or remained constant with past years. 2) Music in the Schools had over 10,000 participants. 3) Free, professional, public concerts were performed in a variety of metropolitan neighborhood settings and generally served specific communities. The communities included East St Paul, North Minneapolis, Eagan, Minneapolis and St Paul inner cities and other areas. 4) The region's talented music students were served by two contests and performances as part of the Youth Outreach Week with the Sinfonia. 5) Touring to rural Minnesota introduced the Sinfonia to audiences, most of which (as determined by anonymous surveys) do not attend concerts by the state's other professional orchestras. 6) All Sinfonia programs either gained participating members or retained the same numbers of audience members. 2: The Sinfonia did meet most of the expectations for increasing the numbers of participants. The actual outcomes were as follows: 1) Student participation was up from last year, but slightly below our goal of 18,000, with approximately 10,500 participants in our Music in the Schools program, 800 through our summer children's concert and 5,000 through our public concerts, along with 70 in our youth contests and youth outreach week, for an approximate total of 16,370. 2) The number of artists participating was about as we anticipated, 95, including the students performing with the Sinfonia during youth outreach week. 3) The number of audience members was approximately 24-26,000 according to our surveys and estimates by our staff and by the staffs of our partner organizations.

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

Outcomes include increased enrollment and participation, deepened and expanded conversation with patrons, and increased community support and enthusiasm. As many as seventy individuals took part in each narrated set changeover, the Shakespeare lecture series had increased attendance by at least twenty percent for each lecture over 2012, and the new events were well attended. The Festival completed its summer fundraising campaign one week ahead of schedule, a rare thing in the nonprofit theater world; and this increase in donations demonstrates the increased community support and enthusiasm for Great River Shakespeare Festival's programming.","Produce clear, compelling, and relevant productions.

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

Outcomes include an increase in students in the East Metro having access to an orchestral education, Philharmonia East enrollment growth, reintroduction of the revamped Rising Harmonies program, and reaching more underserved audiences through the community concert series. Through survey responses and information collected throughout the year, we analyze data which helps us assess enrollment and retention trends, student demographics, demand for scholarships, and audience attendance. This data is all important in measuring our effectiveness at increasing access for students and audiences alike. 2: Develop well-rounded students. Outcomes include students learning valuable skills, such as discipline, respect, and accountability through rehearsals; and excellence and community awareness through performances. Students will learn and grow through new student leadership roles and alumni-student mentorship opportunities. Qualitative data about student development comes in the form of feedback from discussions at parent meetings, student focus groups, and conversations with music educators, as well as frequent surveys. Information gleaned in those settings helps us identify what skills students learn in Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies, and their level of satisfaction on things which we can compare and track from year to year. Year-end surveys ask students about their satisfaction with Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies' programs as well as their perceived development as musicians and individuals. Students ranked their personal progress related to music and other skills in the following areas: technical skills, ensemble/listening skills, sight-reading skills, musical phrasing/expression, how to watch a conductor, how to practice, music history, music theory, discipline, teamwork, responsibility, time management, respect, and leadership. On average, 77% of responding 2012-13 students said they were satisfied to highly-satisfied with their growth in these areas.","Student enrollment grew by 10.5% overall during our 2012-13 season and participation in our East Metro programs grew by 26%.

After careful consideration, we decided to focus our resources on our core programming last season and did not reintroduce our Rising Harmonies program. We are currently updating our strategic plan and based on stakeholder input, we will reevaluate the feasibility of a similar program.

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.

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.

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

We set annual goals for presenting weeks and audience attendance for the Catalyst Series and we evaluate progress made toward goals by preparing an attendance report following each presentation and compiling those reports on a quarterly basis into an organization-wide report that is presented by the Executive Director to the board of directors. Those quarterly reports are compiled into an annual, year end report and presented to the board and back to the community in a public annual report each year.","In fiscal year 2013, we trained 25 fellows through our Twin Cities Creative Community Leadership Institute, launched our Creative Community Leadership Institute alumni program serving over 150 alumni in Minnesota and North Dakota and are on track to train 50 more fellows in fiscal year 2014 including fellows in the Twin Cities and Duluth-Superior area. Our ArtsHub co-working space to date is 90% filled supporting 7 small organizations and over 30 independent artists and social entrepreneurs. 2: In fiscal year 2013, we maintained the number of weeks presented through the Catalyst Series at 16 weeks, as projected, and we increased audiences in the Catalyst Series by 10% as anticipated.

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

I was able to learn easily and quickly and use what I learned. I got to explore and find out if I had the potential to become an architect and explore what kind of work they do.

We will build Minnesota's local, national, and international reputation as an important cultural center, making Minnesotans aware of the importance of contemporary art to our collective identity. Through support from the State Arts Board and a project grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, we firmly established our library's visiting art and curator lecture series. Our artists and curators presented lectures and engaged with the public on a monthly basis. After a number of record attendance lectures most notably a lecture by St Paul-based painter Bruce Tapola, where more than 100 attendees filled our space to over capacity, we decided to engage in a mini-capital campaign in the fall of 2012 to expand the library space. After a two month campaign, $50,000 was raised to expand the library to more than double its size. We continue to see high demand for these educational opportunities. We also formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota and local-publisher Univocal press to bring French philosopher Francois Laruelle to the Twin Cities for a series of workshops and talks at Midway and at the Weisman Art Museum.

We are continuing to identify new ways to provide this critical support to these artists to enable them to realize ambitious projects where otherwise they might not find the light of day. This is an increasingly vital component to how we view our core values at Midway. These values translate into growing a broader appreciation for Minnesota’s role in supporting the creation of new cultural value on both a local and international stage.","We grew our audience and deepened our local constituents' understanding and appreciation of the arts through our library, exhibitions, and educational programming. Library usage grew by an estimated 15%, and participation at educational offerings in the library and offsite events grew by 25%. 2: Midway originated five world premiere exhibitions from a diverse group of thirteen artists from Minneapolis, Berlin, Glasgow, Brussels, San Paolo, Nova Scotia, New York, Tehran/Berlin, Frankfurt, and Vancouver. Much of the work was commissioned by Midway, while in one group exhibition work was on loan from major museums and private collections from New York, Beirut, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other cities. As part of this exhibition season, we instituted a formal artist stipend policy of providing the artists with $5,000 in addition to covering all expenses including the production, shipping, travel, per diem, and accommodations related to the exhibitions. The exhibitions received very positive reviews and coverage in local, national, and international press outlets, both trade industry and general public.",,404393,Other,418026,,"Sally Blanks, Jim Cahn, Leslie Cohan, Toby Dayton, Isa Gagarin, Michelle Grabner, Randy Hartten, Katharine Kelly, Chris Larson, Kati Lovaas, Alan Polsky, Jay Swanson",,"Midway Contemporary Art","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Rasmussen,"Midway Contemporary Art","527 2nd Ave SE",Minneapolis,MN,55414-1103,"(612) 605-4504 ",johnr@midwayart.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, Winona",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-211,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Celebrate Lutheran contributions to arts and culture through performance; train a new generation of practitioners through education programs; and introduce new audiences through outreach activities. Program evaluation takes place on an ongoing basis. We measure success based on quantitative factors like enrollment and retention, and qualitative factors like overall participant experience and musical integrity of performances. We conduct written surveys of participants in our larger activities, and have staff members available after every performance for informal feedback. This information is compiled by the Executive Director and presented to the Artistic and Program Committee of the Lutheran Music Program Board of Directors. 2: Create a welcoming community that intentionally engages musicians and music appreciators of all ages and backgrounds. Elderhostel retreats, middle school choral camps, At Home events, partnerships, and hymn festivals create thriving environments around a shared musical heritage. Teens are embraced as we teach compassion and celebrate others' successes. As noted above, written surveys are an important evaluation tool. In addition to assessing everything from cafeteria food to performance facilities, constituents are invited to provide feedback on our commitment to nurturing community (one of our core organizational values). In fiscal year 2013, program participants overwhelmingly indicated that community is one of our greatest strengths. As in previous years, teens who attended Lutheran Summer Music Academy reported that our emphasis on camaraderie over competition helped them build self-confidence and grow musically. Older adults who participated in the senior adult retreat expressed gratitude for the warm welcome they received from Lutheran Summer Music Academy staff members, particularly accommodations like large print programs, transportation assistance, etc. Finally, because our goal is to welcome musicians of all faith traditions, religious diversity is an important indicator of success. In fiscal year 2013, 25% of Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival participants self-identified with a religion other than Lutheranism.","During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program successfully presented or co-presented workshops and performances; two hymn festivals; one middle school choral camp; one senior adult retreat; and the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. Our performance and training programs served Minnesota residents of all faith backgrounds and introduced participants from across the country to an important part of Minnesota's cultural heritage. We're pleased to report strong enrollment and positive participant feedback for activities taking place in fiscal year 2013. Overall, constituents indicated that both performance and educational activities presented by Lutheran Music Program were engaging, informative musical experiences. 2: In fiscal year 2013, we served people of all ages, abilities, economic backgrounds, and religious traditions. Our middle school choral camp took place in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul, while Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival served high school musicians from communities like St Hilaire, Gaylord, and Motley. During fiscal year 2013, Lutheran Music Program offered all of our performances free-of-charge and open to the public. We also provided significant scholarship support and discount opportunities for tuition-based programs like Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival. Finally, Lutheran Music Program continues to encourage people of all ages to join together in harmony; last year, our hymn festivals featured Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival alumni side-by-side with older adults. We also presented our senior adult retreat in conjunction with Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival.

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

Minnesota Center for Book Arts maintained and expanded extensive educational programming for youth and adults in schools, communities and in its home facility. In addition Minnesota Center for Book Arts continued to grow the Minnesota Center for Book Arts Certificate Program for Adult Learners - a successful program launched in 2011.

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

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

In addition, we plan to increase the number of community partners from 60 to 75 and the number of outreach program participants from 7,500 to 8,500. Last year more than half of these participated at low or no cost. Our goal is to maintain this ratio this fiscal year. Participant statistics are gathered using different methods. Our class registrations are tracked in the Raiser's Edge event module. All series classes (adults, children and youth),workshop, and summer camp program registrations are recorded with payment at the time of registration. Outreach program participation is tracked and reported by the instructor. Ridgedale visitation is tallied by on site staff using a handheld clicker. Totals are then entered in a summary that is submitted with the daily transactions. Special event participation is tracked using a clicker and/or noting ticket sales where appropriate.","We continued to operate our Ridgedale location, including classes and a retail outlet. We maintained our exhibition program in the common areas. Promoting, stocking, and vetting artists for our Ridgedale satellite location concurrent with our popular Arts of the Holidays show at the main location has enabled us to create a strong retail presence there. This past fiscal year (ending June 30, 2013), total sales were $48,567. 2: We met our targets for participation in some categories but not others. While adult series class participation was on par with prior year, we'd hope to grow it by a minimum of 5%. In outreach activities overall, more contact hours of instruction were offered to fewer participants. More than half of our outreach program participants did not pay a fee, or paid a nominal amount meeting our goal of maintaining this ratio from the prior year.",,1143409,Other,1180397,2500,"Barbara McBurney, Tom Hull, Andrea Michaelsen, Sarah Barthel, Lisa Erickson, Jay Hammond, Nancy Haskin, Irv Kessler, Matthew Knopf, Denise Leskinen, Jim Schwert, Laura Miles",,"Minnetonka Center for the Arts","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Roxanne,Heaton,"Minnetonka Center for the Arts","2240 North Shore Dr",Orono,MN,55391-9127,"(952) 473-7361x 15",rheaton@minnetonkaarts.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Benton, Blue Earth, Carver, Chippewa, Chisago, Cook, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Fillmore, Goodhue, Hennepin, Isanti, McLeod, Nicollet, Olmsted, Pine, Polk, Ramsey, Renville, Rice, Roseau, St. Louis, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns, Traverse, Washington, Winona, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-228,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Radical Hospitality is the new DNA of Mixed Blood. Tracking the success of the Radical Hospitality model was achieved through audience surveys and related evaluation tools. Fiscal year 2013 demographic data was obtained through pre-show surveys at 22 Mixed Blood mainstage performances. The anonymous surveys were constructed with respect to cultural differences, measuring age, gender, household income, ethnicity, identification within the disability community, and exposure to theatre. Mixed Blood staff optimized audience survey collection through a variety of hand-on techniques; as a result, survey return rates were consistently over 90%. Ongoing evaluation, including comparison to pre and first year Radical Hospitality findings, provided staff with the means to adjust outreach strategies to meet targeted audience goals.","Mixed Blood Theatre's Radical Hospitality initiative is revolutionizing how people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts, by removing cost as a barrier to live theatre. In its second year, Radical Hospitality provided no-cost access to 55% (4,523) of patrons that attended Mixed Blood's mainstage performances-- up from 45% the previous year. Those accessing Mixed Blood productions through Radical Hospitality make up a vastly more diverse audience than the theatre's paying patrons, drawing to the arts more people from a variety of backgrounds.

The second annual Family and Intergenerational Weekend will be hosted in October 2012 and enrollment in the course offerings will increase by 10%. Family programming elements will be integrated into each of our three major events to expand family involvement from our local community. At each of our major events, surveys are distributed to event attendees as a means of public evaluation. Standard written student and instructor evaluations are part of every course on campus. Regular conversations between instructors, staff, and volunteers explore life in the classroom every day. Building community is at the heart of North House's mission, which is why staff actively engage with students and visitors. Our lead staff rotate in the role of campus host directly connecting with students and gaining honest, direct feedback. Whether during the student welcome on their first day, in the school bookstore, or at the weekly student pizza bake, students are encouraged to share their ideas so that staff may work to improve courses for future participants. 2: North House Folk School will build momentum for its year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Enrollment in catalog courses will increase, generating 6% growth in earned tuition revenue. Public outreach regarding our educational mission will increase membership and annual giving support by 10%. North House staff tracked all course catalog participants and membership, comparing last year's data to this year's numbers. North House's Programs Committee - made up of instructors, staff, board, and community members - meets monthly to discuss enrollment reports and strategize around course programming. Similarly, North House's Development Committee - composed of staff, board, and community members - meets on a monthly basis to review membership reports, financial summaries, and design outreach strategies.","In October 2012, North House offered its second annual Family Weekend featuring 10 family-oriented courses, a family contra dance, and a family storytelling session. A total of 48 students participated At North House's Unplugged event, families participated in a free community concert and cloth waulking demonstration with featured speaker Norman Kennedy. June's Wooden Boat Show included a family contra dance, the annual Solstice Puppet Show, and a new family storytelling session. Over 1,000 people attended the Puppet Show. Over 30 local youth and parents/adults participated as performers. During Northern Fiber Retreat, North House co-hosted a family program with the local Fiber Guild, resulting in participation from 15 adult-child pairs. A newly designed Instructor-In-Residence program in 2013 offers any campus visitors, including families and children, the opportunity to interact with an artist demonstrating live craft. 2: Build momentum for year-round coursework to nurture the thriving arts community on Minnesota's North Shore. Student enrollment in course catalogs and membership support were both at their highest rates ever in 2012. Student enrollment increased from 1,610 students in 2011 to 1,757 in 2012. An increase both in terms of total number of students served (+9%) and total student days (+10%). In the past year off-season programming was more robust than ever. For example, in February 2013, 244 students were on campus, exceeding late summer 2012 enrollment. Whether or not this continues as a growing trend, there has certainly been a shift in the feel on campus as the off season can be even busier than the summer high season.

The play depicts her experiences of American struggle, painful memories, fear, and cancer as she escapes into the fantastical world of Bollywood. The performance blended creative non-fiction, broken prose, monologues, video installation, media art, Bollywood dance numbers, and choreography. The production team was incredibly talented and diverse, and led by director Meena Natarajan.

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

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

Outcomes: member playwrights will have more opportunities to connect and share their work with each other and the public. Playwrights' Center fellows and Core Writers will be provided new play development resources that better reflect their working style and the needs of the particular play being developed. Playwrights' Center fellows and Core Writers will be introduced to and connected with theater leaders, building relationships that lead to commission/production. The number of member playwrights increased from 1,150 to 1,250, and the number living in Minnesota held steady at 237. We received positive feedback from members about improvements to the membership section of our Web site, informed by our members survey. We increased Twin Cities metro area and statewide participation in activities like our Members Open Readings. We received positive written and verbal feedback from fellows and Core Writers about technology upgrades and process improvements to new play development in our Lab. We received positive survey responses from participants (including 6 Minnesota colleges) in our New Plays on Campus program and from our 5 Core Apprentices and their mentor playwrights. Written feedback from visiting producing-theater leaders has been overwhelmingly positive, e.g.: I was excited by the diversity of artists and aesthetics of the group and feel I came away with a list of Minnesota playwrights I am going to keep my eye on. - Kirsten Brandt, San Jose Repertory Theatre 2: Play an integral role in the vitality of the Minnesota theatrical ecosystem by serving as a trustworthy connection to high caliber, diverse playwrights and a generous partner to organizations looking to create and develop new plays. Outcomes: Minnesota producing theaters will develop new plays in partnership with the Playwrights' Center, serving the playwright, making new plays stronger, and moving them closer to production. Producing theaters will commission, develop, and produce new plays by Minnesota playwrights. Minnesota cultural institutions and community organizations will use playwriting and new plays as vehicles for serving their communities. Assessments concluded that we had successful partnerships with our Minnesota partners - Theatre Novi Most, Walker Art Center, Minnesota History Center, Workhaus Collective, and Unit Collective. We received positive feedback about playwriting classes we provided via Veterans in the Arts. We received significant attention and positive feedback for our partnership with the City of Minneapolis to commission playwright Trista Baldwin for a new short play featured in the Bridge Project event commemorating the anniversary of the 35W bridge collapse and rebuild. Works previously developed at the Center were produced in Minnesota in the last year at Walker Art Center, the Guthrie Theater's Dowling Studio, and St. Olaf College. Tracy Scott Wilson's play BUZZER, developed with Pillsbury House Theater and produced there in 2012, was presented at the Guthrie as part of its 2013 season. Other plays developed at the Center were selected for productions in New York, California, and Ohio last season. ","The Playwrights' Center improved and expanded services to increase support for Minnesota playwrights, from students (served through our New Plays on Campus program and the related Core Apprenticeship program) to members (19% of whom are currently located in Minnesota) to acclaimed professionals (our many fellows and Core Writers). 2: We expanded our role as an integral connection between our exceptional and diverse playwrights and Minnesota theaters and organizations using theater to reach their constituents. We served as a trusted and valued resource for a number of Minnesota theaters and cultural institutions, as well as for the City of Minneapolis.

The program title/structure has been refined for greater integration to achieve desired outcomes of artistic excellence, public service and benefit, improved management and fiscal responsibility, and standards of on-going assessment and evaluation. Measurable outcomes for general operations: reorganization of accounting program jobs and accounts lists; securing support, with a three year goal of $1.8 million; restructure staff responsibilities to align with The Next Public Art; and engagement in program oversight committees of those whose expertise aligns with program goals. Public Art Saint Paul has engaged professional evaluators and a public relations consultant to create frameworks to support staff, board members, and volunteers in strategic planning and efforts to communicate the value of our work. Public Art Saint Paul continues to investigate new tools, such as Ripple Effect Mapping, to better understand and develop new ways of understanding the impacts of our programs. 2: Implement The Next Public Art’s synergistic activities: Artists in Civic Service. Expand the City Artist in Residence program by forming a cohort of artists resident in City agencies, Watershed Districts, and other critical milieus. The 2013 measurable outcomes will be engagement of another City Artist in Residence early in 2012, and establishment of the structure to support creation of the cohort that will also include existing City Artist in Residence Marcus Young and Watershed District Artist in Residence Christine Baeumler. If additional funding becomes available, by year-end 2013 we will engage yet another City Artist in Residence to join this cohort. Creating The Next Public Art is a slow process that is not captured in typical metrics. Public Art Saint Paul evaluates the constellation of success, made up of many individual points. Those points include but are not limited to: increased City pride in the City Artist in Residence program; the Saint Paul Department of Public Works asking City Artist in Residence Marcus Young to represent the Department at the American Public Works Association Congress and Exhibition in Chicago in August 2013; Watershed District Artist in Residence Christine Baeumler and Public Art Saint Paul's sponsorship and involvement in planning the 2013 International Low Impact Development Symposium and securing a place for an artist as a keynote speaker for environmental professionals; increased desire of artists, STEM, and other professionals to collaborate across Public Art Saint Paul programs; new and additional funding for programs; further development of existing and initiation of new City-scaled artworks. As part of ongoing evaluation plans, Public Art Saint Paul continues to identify and develop new points of understanding in the constellation.","With our independent auditor, Public Art Saint Paul developed new tracking and reporting systems to reflect The Next Public Art restructuring. Public Art Saint Paul has leveraged Arts Board funds to secure additional funding for general operations, core programs, and new projects; Arts Board support is a major vote of confidence in Public Art Saint Paul that has a direct impact on our fundraising. We are on track to meet our three year goal. New staff roles and changes in existing staff tracking and reporting align with The Next Public Art. A committee of public art experts and urban planning and design professionals was created to oversee the City Artist in Residence program and our work to administer the City of Saint Paul's Public Art Ordinance; the City Art Collaboratory is similarly advised and curated by relevant artistic and STEM professionals. 2: The City Artist in Residence program was expanded from one artist to three artists and one program manager. The City Artist in Residence program has worked with the Public Art Saint Paul-supported Saint Paul Public Art Ordinance Administrator to define the role the City Artist in Residence team plays within the Public Art Ordinance. The expansion of the City Artist in Residence team has led to a more visible presence within the City and increased interest among City workers in City Artist in Residence participation in City processes.

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 program is what the artist fellow idea has morphed into since our original application. 2: Red Eye will be a leading facilitator of critical feedback sessions for artists developing performance works.

Outcomes include: Nash Gallery will research and present an exhibition that situates Minnesota feminist art history within a national context. Feminist Art: Then and Now will be presented January-February 2013. Beginning spring 2012, Nash Gallery will reach out to art and history teachers at the 875 high schools in Minnesota and offer their students gallery tours with members of the research and curatorial teams organizing the exhibition. Regarding the outreach to high schools, we had hoped for a total attendance of 450 for the gallery tours. But a statistical evaluation showed that we came short of our 450 goal; we provided tours to 210 high school students. The schools are dealing with their budget limitations; even though we offered the gallery tours free of charge, they had to cover the cost of their own transportation. While we can't fund their transportation, we will continue the outreach efforts, to build and grow these relationships so that the Department of Art and Nash Gallery become a future priority. We are working with the Art Educators of Minnesota to try and bring the annual Scholastic Art Awards to the Regis Center for Art, beginning in February 2015. 2: Support experimentation and excellence by Minnesota artists. As an outcome, Nash Gallery will research and organize a group exhibition of Minnesota artists whose varied and experimental sensibilities investigate conceptions of culture, experience, and perceived value. Minnesota Funk will be presented December 2012-January 2013. The exhibition and public programs were very successful, according to our evaluation of the attendance and the community and media response. Janice Lane-Ewart, the curator of The Collective Eye program on Radio KFAI, invited Chris Larson and Herman Milligan on the radio program, to hear the selected jazz music and discuss the artworks. In her review for the Star Tribune (Minnesota Artists Not So Woebegon) Mary Abbe wrote, As an alternative to Minnesota's tradition of keenly observed landscapes, 'Funk' plumbs quirky psychic byways. In his review for Minnesota Monthly, Gregory Scott wrote, The list of exhibitors is pretty much a varsity line up of iconic contemporary artists working in our state. For the Walker Art Center blog Sarah Peters wrote of Larson's video, What begins as a simple recording of the artist working in his studio becomes a fascinating set of events that upturn the viewer's perception of the reality created by the camera. One of our visitors wrote to us, Wonderful idea. I like the threads that link the artworks. Great diversity of media.","As planned, we presented the exhibition The House We Built: Feminist Art Then and Now January 22 through February 23, 2013. The exhibition was presented in the Nash Gallery and included about seventy artists; most of them were Minnesota artists who had been part of the Women Artists Registry of Minnesota in the 1970s, and some were national artists. We also presented a companion exhibition of work by Josephine Lutz Rollins who taught at the Department of Art for nearly thirty years, along with students who had received the Josephine Lutz Rollins Fellowship that is awarded to a female graduate student each year. We had an overflow audience for the public lecture by artist Harmony Hammond on January 24, and a live video feed broadcast her lecture to another crowd in the building lobby. We reached out to the high schools as planned, and we were able to arrange a number of gallery tours, but not as many as we'd originally hoped. 2: As planned, we presented the exhibition Minnesota Funk December 4, 2012 through January 12, 2013. The exhibition included work in a variety of media by the following Minnesota artists: Kent Aldrich, Kate Casanova, Perci Chester, Kelly Connole, Jim Dryden, Mary Esch, Frank Gaard, Tom Garrett, Chris Larson, Faye Passow, Lamar Peterson, Sandy Resig, and Jenny Schmid. As we hoped, the exhibition provided a platform for artistic experimentation. For example, Frank Gaard asked us to curate a selection of his drawings and format the works as a digital sketchbook running to 250 pages. We presented Chris Larson's architectural video Heavy Rotation as a room-size projection, surrounded by his carved sculptures. We had two public programs: a reception on December 6 for the artists and the public, and an evening of jazz curated by Herman Milligan on December 11.

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

Actual visitorship was much more conservative than originally expected. A natural drop in museum engagement is expected after a major grand reopening but that was not factored into fiscal year 2013 goals. Staff changes, including departures and maternity leaves among education, marketing, and curatorial staff, also heavily impacted our fiscal year 2013 audience goals. And light rail construction continues to impact visitors' perception of our accessibility. Despite this new reality, Weisman Art Museum welcomed more than 178,000 visitors (55,800 onsite and 122,593 online) and met our campus and community collaboration goal with 53 partnerships by yearend. In fiscal year 2013, Weisman Art Museum introduced a new program evaluation process to create a more comprehensive review of activities. Feedback is captured through paper surveys at public programs and electronic surveys sent to audience members and to teachers following events and educational programs. These surveys measure the success of a program through quantifiable and anecdotal visitor experiences, simultaneously creating a profile of our visitors by obtaining demographic information as well as measuring individual participation in the arts community. Internal administrative and operational process evaluations are also completed by staff following all programs. 2: Use the intellectual and creative resources of a great university to advance the goal that Minnesotan's believe the arts are vital to who we are. Outcomes: multiply our ability to extend influence to statewide audiences through support for over 500 Minnesota educators through a combination of topical educator workshops, pre-teacher licensing, University courses, and student scholarships; and facilitate the engagement of over 100 students and community 18-34 year olds in skills related to museum work and the arts through courses, connoisseurship, arts administration, and internships. At midyear, we adjusted our ambitions to reflect the more conservative realities previously mentioned. In addition to directly engaging 37 Minnesota educators, 2,547 email announcements were sent to Weisman educator email subscribers and to the Art Educators of Minnesota listserve. An Artful Writing Workshop announcement was sent to 903 Weisman education subscribers and to 450 Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. A Summer Teen Architecture Workshop invitation reached 744 Weisman education subscribers and Art Educators of Minnesota subscribers. 450 email subscribers received an invitation to customize their Weisman/classroom experience during fiscal year 2013. Through Weisman Art Museum's new evaluation process, the museum is better able to determine current audiences; establish methods of diversifying and improving visitorship; tailor programs as necessary to fit specific audience interests and needs; and address program flaws and visitor concerns.

As we offer more programming, our expenses go up. To combat this, we need to find ways to generate more revenue and reduce unnecessary spending. In 2012-2013, we will operate on a balanced budget and meet all budgeted areas by fiscal year’s end. We evaluated this goal by carefully breaking down each budget area with our board of directors, and we used applicable expense reports, receipts, and statements to compare projections to actual totals. We will use this information as we prepare future budgets to make sure our projections are as close to actual figures as we can get them, and we will meet regularly to adjust and refine numbers, as needed, to ensure we are operating in balance. 2: We will expand and build new audiences for quality arts programming in our regional community. Because we believe the arts to be a part of who we are and a defining characteristic of our community, we want to extend an invitation to all persons to take part in an event at our center. To that end, we will increase the size of our patron database to over 14,000 by the end of 2012-2013. We have dedicated software which we use to monitor, track and report all patron activity, donations, attendance, etc., and we used this software to document and evaluate the increase in our overall patron records.","Most areas of our budget came out as expected, but we had a serious decline in ticket sales from the previous year and did not meet budgeted projections in that area. A rash of inclement weather in our busiest part of the year (December-March) caused our projected ticket sales for marquee events to come up short. Because of this, we ended up about $50,000 off our estimated level. We have diligently reevaluated all sales projection techniques and will use this information to create much closer projections for next year's ticket sales. 2: We achieved this goal, with our patron database now at 14,065. We feel this is a reflection of our increased outreach to areas on the outskirts of our direct community, and also a testament to the programming that we are presenting. While ticket sales were lower than anticipated, our extension of free/reduced fee tickets this year helped to introduce many new people to the arts in our area.

The 3rd Floor Emerging Artists Series accomplished its goals by installing four exhibitions, producing a scholarly essay on each artist published in an Exhibition Gallery Guide, presenting a Gallery Talk delivered by each artist at their Opening Reception, and attracting more than 10,000 visitors. The solo exhibition and critical essay continue to be firsts in each artist's career. The Opening Receptions and Gallery Talks for the 3rd Floor artists are held on the same night as Opening Receptions for our major exhibitions. This assists the 3rd Floor artists' careers by valuing their work with the same consideration given our major artists. 2: Develop three educational programs targeting underserved populations. Outcomes: a photography project with the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester; family art-making activities with the Juntos Club and the Alliance for Chicanos Hispano Latino Americans; and a public art project with the Hispanic Truancy Program and artist residency with Mexico City artist Miguel Calderón. The Arts Board outcomes are that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts; and the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. Rochester Art Center's collaboration with the Alliance for Chicanos Hispano Latino Americans and Multicultural Education Advocacy Program resulted in the creation of a six-panel public mural. The mural depicted scenes from the students' experiences in Rochester and dreams for their future lives. Painted and sculpted by 15 middle and high school students, the mural was displayed in the atrium of the Rochester Area Foundation. These students also collaborated with the Mexico City artist, Miguel Calderón. The students created a photography project depicting raptors at the Minnesota Wild Bird Rescue. The work was exhibited in Rochester Art Center's East Classroom. Working with Rochester Art Center's education curators, 24 Boys and Girls Club Rochester members, ages 9-17, created the Adolescence Through the Lens photography project. Originally scheduled for one public exhibition at Rochester Art Center, the photographs enjoyed four exhibitions at venues throughout Rochester.","For the funding year fiscal year 2012, Rochester Art Center presented four 3rd Floor Emerging Artists Series exhibitions.

Host educational tours for five local/community groups serving 150 adults. Create educational/informational fact sheets for key works in the collection, with large print versions. The most basic metric for evaluating success in terms of participation is quantitative: how many people came? Staff keep attendance logs and use observational evaluation to track age groups/general demographics. Most visitors opted not to fill out written surveys, leaving a respondent pool too small to be representative. We now use in-person, informal interviews by staff of visitors. Visitors routinely spend 10-15 minutes in discussion. Interviews allow staff the flexibility to ask follow-up questions, eliciting more detailed information. Finally, we track facebook 'buzz'; this is anecdotal but allows us to see what kind of programs or artists attract the most interest. While not exactly scientific, it does give us a sense of how a broader public is or is not engaged with our programs. Management reviews the metrics monthly to assess trends and gauge the impact of programming. 2: The arts thrive in Minnesota.

Hold annual Open Studio event so the public can experience the creative process by watching an artist work from conception to completion. Our basic metric for evaluating success is quantitative: how many people were served? Staff use attendance logs and observational evaluation to track age/demographics. We use observational techniques for assessing reaction to programs: do visitors leave early? Do they fidget? Are they engaged? Asking relevant questions? Informal interviews allow us to better understand on a qualitative basis which programs are well-received and why. For example, the lecturer rather than the subject has had the biggest influence on the success of a program. And overall, audiences have preferred a dialog with an artist, curator, or historian rather than a straight-forward lecture. In other words, audiences want to be able to participate in the event. This seems in-keeping with the overall positive feedback we received on the open studios/master classes. Therefore, we are reconsidering offering lectures in future or will do so in a very specific way to reach a very specific audience.","Global collections provided key entry points for K-12 tours; approximately 1/3 of these students are non-white. Global works also provided opportunities to engage visitors with developmental disabilities.

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. In fiscal year 2013 we experienced a 38% increase in auditions and our ensemble of new singers increased in racial diversity from 14% to 25%. 2: Saint John's Boys Choir seeks to offer one of the nation's foremost choral music education experiences for young people, a goal achieved through providing exceptionally-trained staff, the pursuit of challenging, high quality repertoire, collaborations with professional artists, and participation in festivals and conferences. The quality of our artistic program remained very strong in fiscal year 2013. Members of staff were awarded for their contributions to the choral community by the Minnesota chapter of the American Choral Director's Association. The choirs pursued repertoire well beyond the level typical for their age group and recorded several of those selections on a CD to be released during fiscal year 2014. The choir collaborated with several professional artists, including a jazz combo, a chamber orchestra, and two renowned harpists.",,282278,Other,292760,2096,"Bret Amundson, Lori Connolly, Dee Coppock, Marlene Dingmann, Phil Godding, Janice Hammond, Michael Hemmesch, Bob Johnson, Lori Johnson, Kristin Lawson, Marty Mahowald, Father Doug Mullin, Jeff Peterson, Matthew Reichert, Diane Wojtanowicz",,"The Saint John's Boys' Choir","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2012-07-01,2013-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Melissa,Walrath,"The Saint John's Boys' Choir","2840 Abbey Plz Box 2000",Collegeville,MN,56321-2000,"(320) 363-2558 ",mwalrath@csbsju.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Benton, Douglas, Hennepin, Kanabec, McLeod, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pope, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-261,"Judson Bemis Jr., Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

We saw a sharp increase over projected attendance rates, due primarily to our partnership with GREAT Theater. In fiscal year 2013, Fine Arts Programming hired an outside consultant to conduct focus groups of off-campus community members. We then implemented marketing changes, such as increased branding ads and more aggressive messaging of our lower ticket prices, based upon the feedback, in order to attract more off-campus participation. Sales at several Saint John's University performances in fiscal year 2013 came in lower than projected and, to address this Saint John's University has made other changes, such as adjusting performance times and booking larger, more recognizable names.","Example of strategies implemented to meet the goal of 30% participation increase of off-campus community include: Fine Arts Programming developed a strategic partnership with Great River Educational Arts Theater that benefits both organizations.

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

The Schubert Club education and outreach activities are integral to future performers and audience members. Project CHEER will provide free piano and guitar lessons to over 100 inner-city students with limited access; our Composer Mentorship Program provides hands-on learning experiences with live composers for high school students who have the desire and gift to compose but no access; our six Family Concerts will provide toddlers to mature audiences up-close and personal experiences with professional artists; ten masterclasses, public school assemblies, and nursing home performances will reach hundreds without access to live performances. At the conclusion of the school year, students in Project CHEER all participated in a recital, which was attended by families and friends of the students. The audience enthusiasm was an indicator of the success of the program. A written evaluation from the parents of the participants was requested, and their assessment gave Project CHEER high marks with great value for their children, families and community. CHEER gave these young people a productive, safe, and creative after-school program that gives them skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives. The Composer Mentorship Program required a written evaluation from the students, their families and the members of Pavia Winds. The evaluation assesses the impact of the program and helps The Schubert Club understand where improvement can take place. Written letters and online feedback from the teachers and students gave us a solid assessment of the value of the assemblies, workshops and family events. 2: Provide best-in-class performances through our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series concerts. Offer a broad range of professional musical artists in recital through our five performances in our International Artist Series, and present the world's best-in-class performers for our audiences. Engage top chamber music artists from Minnesota and around the world to perform on our Music in the Park Series. Through these two series, we look to increase our subscribers and single ticket buyers through enhanced media and communications, in addition to creating the subscription concerts with a wide variety of artists that will attract diverse audiences. Measurement tools that indicate success are strong ticket sales, critical reviews, and most importantly, online surveys that are sent to all ticket buyers after each performance. The average rate of response to our survey is 25%, far above the national average of only 3%. This rate of return proves that the arts are vital to who we are in our community, and people care enough to participate in evaluating our programming. Also, the feedback has been consistently high in all categories, validating the quality of performances that The Schubert Club presents, and the importance of keeping our ticket prices affordable. ","The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life: The Schubert Club brings the arts into the community, enhancing the experience for all who participate. This was done through concerts, education, and museum programs. We served over 100 students, grades 3 - 12 through Project CHEER, our free piano and guitar lesson program at the Martin Luther King Center in the Selby-Dale neighborhood in St Paul. Four high school students from around the area worked for an entire year with our composer-in-residence, learning from each other and a professional composer. They each wrote new compositions for local ensemble, Pavia Winds, with public performances on our Courtroom Concert Series. School assemblies, workshops, family concerts and collaborative concerts reached over 2,000 people of all ages. Each of these activities focused on different groups of people within our community. 2: Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are: The Schubert Club strives to provide the best-in-class musical performances for audiences in the Twin Cities. Through increased marketing efforts including print, online, radio, television, and social media outlets, we have increased our subscription and single ticket buyers for both our International Artist Series and Music in the Park Series. Additionally, we partnered with Accordo, the professional string ensemble made up of the first-chair players from the Minnesota Orchestra and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for four concerts in Minneapolis over the course of the season. The concerts were sold-out, exceeding our projections financially and audience numbers. We believe that our Twin Cities community has a high standard of living because of quality arts experiences, and the quality of musical artists The Schubert Club offers our community enhances the quality of life for all of our citizens.",,1723452,Other,1764289,8500,"Craig Aase, Mahfuza Ali, Mark Anema, Nina Archabal, Paul Aslanian, Lynne Beck, Dorothea Burns, James Callahan, Carolyn Collins, Marilyn Dan, Arlene Didier, Anna Marie Ettel, Richard Evidon, Catherine Furry, Michael Georgieff, Jill Harmon, Anne Hunter, Lucy Jones, Richard King, Kyle Kossol, Sylvia McCallister, Peter Myers, Ford Nicholson, Gerald Nolte, David Ranheim, Ann Schulte, Kim Severson, Gloria Sewell, Anthony Thein, Jill Thompson, John Treacy, Mike Wright, Matt Zumwalt",,"Schubert Club, Inc.

The Soap Factory evaluates exhibitions and programs with assessment forms for artists, curators and staff, combined with attendance figures, online surveys, response from comment cards and e-mails, and anecdotal evidence. As past participants in the Warhol Initiative, we have taken part in regular peer learning sessions with Midway Contemporary Arts, Intermedia Arts, SooVAC and Franklin Art Works. We plan to continue all of these forms of assessment in 2013. We implemented the evaluation strategies we listed in our fiscal year 2013 Operating Support application. In 2012, we held a series of charrettes with neighborhood and artistic community members to help inform the building development and program planning processes. The data collected through the marketing internship has been used to help develop strategies and program, as well as keep board members and key stakeholders connected and engaged. Curators, staff and the organization's executive director are all evaluated at least annually. The volunteer experience is assessed through survey and feedback.

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.

Production staff, youth participants, and crew of every production also formally evaluate the production process and their experiences. In addition, the director, stage manager, and designers conduct an assessment during a post-production meeting. As a quantitative measure, we monitor attendance totals and adherence to budget. Our training programs are evaluated by feedback from students, parents, and teaching staff, and through periodic classroom observation by department leaders. We quantify outcomes of our school programs and measure their effectiveness through student testing and the use of logic models which articulate desired behavioral and academic performance outcomes. 2: Stages Theatre Company expands outreach and access to underserved communities.

In addition to the methods described above that Stages Theatre Company uses to evaluate all its programs, we have begun to explore new ways to measure the improved social functioning of students in its Creative Accepting Sensory-Friendly Theatre program through administration of various autism skills assessments. Stages is working with several partner organizations to develop an evaluation tool that will allow us to see growth in certain basic social skills, including interaction with peers and group participation.","In its 2012-2013 season, Stages Theatre Company presented 8 innovative productions for youth in our community, including 4 world premieres: Duck for President (world premiere); Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (world premiere); Madeline's Christmas; Diary of a Worm A Spider and A Fly; Owl Moon (world premiere); Zen Shorts (world premiere of Theatre for Young Audiences); Cinder Edna; and Disney's Aladdin, Jr. We continue to collaborate with hundreds of schools, social service agencies, and other community organizations to provide high-quality arts programming. Both in our space and out in the community, Stages continues to provide programming that encourages children and youth to reach their full potential both in the classroom and on the stage. We added theatre arts residency programs in kindergarten classes in six Hopkins and two Minneapolis public elementary schools. In total these collaborations allowed us to reach out to over 900 students last year. 2: Stages Theatre Company continues to invest significant organizational resources in its efforts to reach underserved communities, including people with disabilities. Throughout the past year, Stages has 1) added open captioning to two of its 2012-2013 productions; and 2) developed and offered theatre arts classes and a sensory-friendly performance for youth along the autism spectrum. Working with several community organizations and educators in the field of autism, Stages developed a series of classes which were held in fall 2012 and summer 2013 dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for children affected by autism in order to foster self-expression, social engagement, and confidence.

Support rental groups who are Tapestry founders representing unique folkdance forms and styles (e.g., Morris dancers, Scottish dancers) through enhanced publicity.

This committee consists of board and non-board members, dancers and teachers, as well as the Executive Director. Over the course of the year, waltz, Hambo, Roma Gypsy and Bollywood evolved from being experimental programs, to being regular offerings because of audience response (positive comments and attendance) and recognition they enhanced mission. Audience members for Contra (our largest program) were surveyed over the course of five weeks in early spring for their response to teachers/artists and overall program.

Each of these events shared a unique piece of Minnesota's rich cultural diversity and community identity through the arts. Mu Performing Arts is the only organization of its size in the Twin Cities producing work that celebrates and focuses on the Asian American experience. Through our storytelling, audience perceptions of Asian Americans are changed and barriers are broken down. Without Mu Performing Arts, Asian American representation in the arts in Minnesota would be greatly reduced. 2: Mu Performing Arts seeks to share the Asian American experience with Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities through our mainstage productions and educational outreach programs. In fiscal year 2013, we: 1) reached 282 underserved youth through our Stories program (82 residency participants and 200 youth audience members); 2) held four community forums for each mainstage production; 3) conducted five post-show talk backs and four pre-show talk backs; 4) held 90 educational outreach programs in Minnesota for over 21,000 people. We did not achieve our goal to reach 50,000 people across Minnesota in fiscal year 2013, reaching a total of 27,617 people. Whereas the number of community outreach performances is relatively similar to past years, the number of people gathered at those events was more intimate.

Adults with disabilities continue to be an underserved community in terms of arts access and participation.

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

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

Outcomes: support artists, present programs across the visual, performing, film/video, and design arts, and advance interdisciplinary initiatives. Strengthen connections with the local and regional arts community through enhanced support and involvement of partners, artists, and programmers. To support the Walker's Strategic Plan, regular assessment remains critical to all program and business functions, and ensures broad-based understanding of artist and audience engagement amongst all staff. To quantify annual accomplishments beyond financial measures, the Walker documents key Measures of Success within the areas of artistic leadership and innovation, audience engagement, civic commitment, and stewardship. In the area of artistic leadership and innovation, the measures track artist engagements across the disciplines, Walker-organized exhibitions and presentations, publications, commissions, premieres, artist residencies, traveling programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and awards. These achievements are shared publicly each year through the Walker's online Annual Report. 2: The Walker is dedicated to advancing participation in the arts and active audience engagement. Outcomes: broaden, deepen, and diversify engagement with audiences. Using Google Analytics, Walker staff measures growth in mnartists.org membership, the number of active members, artworks uploaded or linked, visitors, page views and visit length, and visitors' specific interactions with the site features. Member and artist surveys are also conducted through email, community forums, and in person to hear how well mnartists.org serves them. The staff tracks how well mnartists.org spurs critical conservation about the arts in Minnesota and increased exposure for its artists via the press. For programs like Artist-Designed Mini Golf, performances, and film screenings, the Walker interviews the artists involved to gain their feedback, and conducts visitor surveys. It also tracks media attention, program attendance, and admissions/ticket income when applicable.","The Walker presented contemporary art and artists across the disciplines through nine exhibitions; more than eighty five performances; 170 film/video screenings; artist residency activities; and hundreds of artist talks, lectures, workshops, tours, and panel discussions. The Walker organized the first major United States survey of Mexico City-based artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and presented the first retrospective in fifteen years of work by American photographer Cindy Sherman. Four Walker-organized travelling exhibitions were viewed by more than 190,000 people in nine museums in seven cities in the United States. The Walker's Performing Arts program commissioned six new performances and presented three world premieres, including new work by Minneapolis-based BodyCartography Project. Seventeen Walker-commissioned performances toured to thirty nine venues in twenty cities in the United States, and eleven countries. The newly renovated Walker Cinema featured several regional premieres as well as the British Arrows Awards with record-breaking attendance. 2: The mnartists.org Web site served more than 21,840 artists and organizations statewide, hosted 933,050 user sessions, and connected more than 900 Minnesota artists with 60,000 people through partnerships and outreach programs. The site featured extensive arts writing commissioned from fifty nine Minnesota writers. It also shared content with national arts sites and collaborated with Grand Rapids-based ArtPrize to broaden recognition across the Upper Midwest. The Walker's Artist-Designed Mini Golf course, created as part of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden's 25th anniversary during the summer of 2013, was created by forty eight Minnesota artists and garnered national media attention.

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

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

Outcomes: by fiscal year 2013, the total number of youth served by Youth Performance Company classes and the Young Artists Council has increased by 35%. By fiscal year 2013, Young Artist Council activities have increased by 20%. This goal aligns with the goals that people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts; and the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. For the first set of outcomes, The Youth Performance Company staff directors met periodically to review goals around Youth Performance Company classes and Young Artist Council. Throughout the year, the Director of Education adjusted tactics to try to reach class enrollment goals. The Assistant Director works closely with the Young Artist Council to plan their season of activities and monitor their work. This year, we explored new possibilities around evaluating our programs and our engagement with youth. Youth Performance Company was introduced to the Youth Work Institute and the Youth Program Quality Assessment tool. When we examined the tool, we concluded that it would be a good fit for our variety of programs providing valuable feedback to strengthen the Youth Performance Company way. This evaluation method was focused on our engagement with youth activities and was not applicable to our Arts Board operating support grant. We do feel a need to mention it here in order for the Arts Board and others stakeholders to understand how deeply Youth Performance Company values evaluation. 2: Youth Performance Company’s audience values the development of teens through theatre. Outcomes: by fiscal year 2013, Youth Performance Company’s core non-school audience base has increased from 600 to 800. By fiscal year 2013, 25% of Youth Performance Company’s non-school audiences are also donors. This goal aligns with goal that Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are. Youth Performance Company's Associate Director and the Board Marketing Committee actively monitors audience numbers and makes adjustments to tactics throughout the year. Our Director of Development works closely with the Treasurer and Board Development Committee to monitor individual giving results.","Fiscal year 2013 was a tremendous year for Youth Performance Company, including receiving the Minnesota Council for Nonprofits/MAP for Nonprofits Mission Award for work on racism. While having a robust marketing and outreach effort, Youth Performance Company failed to reach stated goals for class participation. Our location is next to the future Central Corridor light rail line. With construction happening throughout the year, we saw a decrease of 30% participation in classes. However, our unique and popular Young Artist Council has seen an increase in participation of over 35% in fiscal year 2013. The Young Artist Council activities increased by 50% including holding three main shows with performances held over three weeks each, including: Women and Wallace, Anne of Green Gables, and A Night Where Anything Goes: A Cabaret. 2: Youth Performance Company understands how critical individual participation and support is for maintaining a sustainable organization. In fiscal year 2013, Youth Performance Company's non-school audience base increased to over 800 people. Our marketing committee worked very hard this past year to reach out to many individuals and organizations. We also focused on opportunities for parents and alumni to become even more involved with our programming. Since 2010, Youth Performance Company has made an important effort to increase individual donors to ensure that we are a sustainable organization.

In this next season, we will produce Inuksuit, by John Luther Adams, to be performed by 9-99 percussionists in an outdoor space. Through this production, we will establish or deepen our connection with 66-99 drummers of varying ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds in the Twin Cities, and to a lesser extent, the state of Minnesota; and establish mutually beneficial partnerships with Minnesota Parks and Trails and Ellis Drums. Through presenting innovative new work of the type described above, we are hoping to reach audience members that would not typically attend a new music event, engage new sound artists and performers that do not typically create chamber music, and increase our visibility. At our performance at Caponi Art Park, roughly 230 audience members wandered about the outdoor performance art installation. Our audience included many families with small children (not at all our usual demographic) as well as senior citizens. Based on feedback elicited from Caponi Art Park staff, audience members expressed that they found the experience unusual but gratifying and would come back to experience other such performances in the future. The production enjoyed lively social media presence and garnered a Star Tribune article, satisfying our aim to increase visibility. 2: Increase the scope of Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival.

To evaluate our work regarding this outcome, we tracked audience numbers and noted sponsorships, media coverage, and performer compensation.","Our first outcome was to present innovative work that connects with members of our community in imaginative and personal ways. Specifically, we referred to presenting a production of Inuksuit, a work by John Luther Adams for 9-99 percussionists in an outdoor space. We didn't produce that production in our last year because we had an opportunity to create another such special work with the 2012-2013 McKnight Visiting Composer, Hugh Livingston. Because bringing this composer's work to the community was time-sensitive, we presented his work, Sound and Place, instead. Hugh Livingston is a sound artist who sculpts sound in outdoor spaces. Sound and Place is an evening-length work created for Zeitgeist and Caponi Art Park. The work premiered in July 2013 and took place over roughly an acre within the park land. Next season, Zeitgeist will present Inuksuit in August at Caponi Art Park. 2: With our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret and Zeitgeist Early Music Festival, we were aiming to increase attendance by 10%, increase the media attention these festivals receive, and establish at least two sponsorship relationships with local businesses. This season, we increased attendance for our Zeitgeist New Music Cabaret by 8% and our Early Music Festival by 13%. We developed sponsorship relationships with five businesses and our Early Music Festival was the subject of two articles (Minnesota Daily and Knight Arts). We had also hoped to increase compensation for our Early Music Festival performers and increase the number of performers involved in that festival. This year, however, this festival simply didn't need the participation of many performers, though the three that did participate were required to participate more extensively throughout the festival.

A performance with Minnesota Youth Symphonies shows how early musical study can transcend financial status.","Students reported individual achievement and improvement after their participation in rehearsals and performances this season. 97% of students surveyed reported learning techniques, 98% improved their technical proficiency, and 97% were inspired. Many enjoyed the repertoire and called MYS `challenging but fun.` 98.5% rated their overall experience as good or excellent. String Studio provided 40 underserved elementary students free private violin/viola lessons during their school day this year. Teachers reported via survey that String Studio had the most positive impact on students' family support, school attendance, classroom behavior, ability to concentrate, study habits, and peer interaction.",,508943,"Other, local or private",530459,,"Jason Burak, Kathy Brown, Lisa Burman, Meghana Shroff, John Bulger, Cathy Carlson, Erwin Concepcion, Kristi Hoff, Jonathan Piepho, Kathryn Balster, Claudette Laureano, Manny Laureano",,"Minnesota Youth Symphonies","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Operating Support",,"General operating support",2013-07-01,2014-06-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Vicki,Krueger,"Minnesota Youth Symphonies","790 Cleveland Ave S Ste 203","St Paul",MN,55116-1958,"(651) 699-5811 ",vlkrueger@mnyouthsymphonies.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Anoka, Blue Earth, Carlton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Goodhue, Hennepin, Le Sueur, Nicollet, Olmsted, Pine, Ramsey, Rice, Scott, Steele, Washington, Wright",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/operating-support-370,"Ardell Brede: Mayor of Rochester, elected 2002.; Peggy Burnet: Businesswoman, art collector, and community volunteer.

To plan the theatrical productions through 2017. To accomplish this we would need to recruit 4 to 6 directors, review their productions choices, pick the plays, apply for rights, and schedule the dates. We need to be ready to produce at least 4 productions a year if the school referendum passes, or two productions if it doesn't pass. 2. We want to increase the number of concerts to 15 per year. 3. To increase our attendance to an average of 100 attendees per at theatrical performances and 100 attendees per concerts. We will accomplish this with a variety of offerings of high quality entertainment. One thing that our Operations Support funding has allowed us to do is keep better track of our impact in the community. We now have an established baseline for theater usage based upon 2014 and 2015 numbers. We have used these numbers to set realistic and achievable goals for 2016-2017. Our goals are numerical and we will easily be able to evaluate whether or not we have reached them by keeping track of attendance and participation at events and by comparing 2016-2017 numbers with records from 2014-2015.","1) We put on 3 out of 4 planned productions since the school was delayed in moving out. Originally, we had planned to install the new LED lights in September and have a November production. Since the school was using the facility we only had time to install the lights. 2) Fifteen concerts per year has proven to be an unrealistic goal. We only had two concerts. Our intention was to have concerts on the lower stage on weekends when the productions were still in rehearsal, closing off the upper stage that would have the set in construction. Our problem is that most bands require both levels of the stage. 3) In 2016 we averaged 100 attendees per theatrical performance with our summer productions. In 2017 our June play Red, White and Tuna averaged less than 30 and our August play 3 Murders and it’s only Monday averaged 70. In February of 2017 we averaged only 40 per night. Concert attendance varied greatly. Well known bands that have a strong Facebook and email following attained the 100 mark. However we booked some lesser known bands and attendance was around 40.

Results of feedback will be compiled, shared with board and membership and audience and will inform future programming. Goal 2 Method and Evaluation: Electronic media activity will be assessed at the beginning and end of the grant period. Between those two times of measurement, there will be a consistent effort to communicate via multiple electronic methods to reach potential audiences.

Additionally, the performing arts director's husband died midway through the season, after a lengthy illness. Understandably, this had an enormous impact on the board members' engagement [increased] and the director's ability to facilitate grant goals [decreased]. As a result of this stressful time in the organization's history, however, the board of directors is more cohesive, involved and focused - because of the need to ""step up"" during the difficult times in the director's personal life in the last few years AND because of the transition of a board that holds the responsibility of sharing in the funding for the director position. It would have been impossible to predict these changes in board maturity and growth two years ago, but happily, there is renewed energy in the governance of DBAA. We have seen increased engagement of board members: board meeting attendance, concert attendance and participation in planning for programming and for the annual fundraiser.

Goal 2 Evaluation: Record keeping of sales and facility rentals to ensure progress is occurring. Monitoring of gift shop inventory and sales – to establish and identify items with strong sales. New marketing attempts (ads, newsletters) will be monitored to ensure outcomes yield higher sales in facility rentals and retails sales. Goal 3 Evaluation: The Board will be developing short and long term bench marks and timelines in early 2016 to establish a viable and effective timeline to meet facility goals.","Increase attendance - we did not meet our goal of 5,000 visitors to the center annually, with annual attendance at the Center is at approximately 2100 (includes some repeat visitors) for those attending an event at the center. We maintain full classes for our afterschool and summer youth programs - 10% of kids participating receive financial support through our scholarship program. In 2017 we added a monthly free program for preschool kids and caregivers. Our visual arts exhibition series has been recognized on MPR, regional art blogs and local media. The program has increased our regional visibility among artists and other arts organizations. Diversify Income- We have increased our facility rental program 3% in 2017. Our gift shop income is increasing due to increased attendance and expanded inventory. In 2017 we earned nearly $2000 in gift shop/gallery sales up from $185 in 2016.

All 4 are solid, well equipped, operational, and well patronized. 3) The seed for a new Youth Scholarship Program was initiated in 2017. In 2018, MVAS will launch a new Youth Scholarship Program for teenagers. Students will be able to either apply for tuition for a particular class or join a special youth art class. Tuition will be fully funded. The seed money came from the Fondell Family and money donated in Dan Fondell's name. Dan was a long term board member who passed away in late 2017.

Additionally, the school's membership has grown substantially during 2017 to approx. 200. As many of these memberships are Household memberships, the number of actual supporters is much greater.

We would like to have in place a dynamic calendar that includes a combination of community theater, musical performances, an annual film festival and children’s workshops. Our theater will be a space for local artists to perform as well as a space for touring artists to bring their talents to our community. In addition, we want to collaborate with other regional theaters to make it possible for nationally touring acts to come to rural Minnesota. In the future, greater collaboration with the local school district’s drama and speech departments will create a more vibrant atmosphere for creativity. We believe that this fits nicely into Southwest Minnesota Arts Council's Strategic Outcomes by increasing the availability of musical and performance arts in the region.

The Arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. The arts thrive in southwest Minnesota. People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. The Hutchinson Center for the Arts becomes a cornerstone establishment for the Arts Plaza, providing a communal gathering space for all to enjoy a variety of arts experiences. By increasing the visibility and viability of the Partner Organizations, we help provide arts driven opportunities to the community. The arts are seen as adding vibrancy to the fabric of a town known for its manufacturing. The increased interest in classes, attendance at exhibits and performances indicate the community is embracing the arts more and more, the Hutchinson Center for the Arts has been a critical component of this. By serving as a hub for the arts, the message about arts opportunities in Hutchinson has been disseminated more effectively. Partner Organizations are thriving and seeing increased attendance at their events and classes. Establishment of classes for youth and adults has provided much needed outlets for those not involved in sports. There is currently no other organization that provides this. Being able to expand on this will infuse the arts more deeply into the community. Continuing to strengthen the Hutchinson Center for the Arts will increase art awareness in southwest Minnesota.Goals will be measured by reaching mile stones listed above. Policies and procedures manual will be completed and distributed to all board members. Committees will be functioning and reporting to the board. Constant Contact has been implemented and all public communication goes through this vehicle. Electronic newsletter sent on a monthly basis, ability to communicate with donor and Founder's Club members. Communication is at least once per month. Class schedule has been set and followed, new classes being offered and researched. Youth program well established, offering a curriculum based art experience.

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

Our goals will support our continued presence and contribution to both the arts community and the town of Milan. Milan is a very small town whose identity has become interwoven with Milan Village Arts School, which reflects that the arts are woven into our community. Milan has repeatedly demonstrated that the arts are vital to the town’s health by supporting the school financially, by cooperating with us for public works and events, and by valuing arts in other activities and forms outside of Milan Village Arts School. It is hard to separate Milan and the arts since Milan Village Arts School is such a key part of what continues to animate the town. As the school and the town of Milan continue to thrive, they continue to contribute to the health of arts in southwest Minnesota in general. We need to work on expanding our student base, primarily by overcoming the barriers that keep people of different ages (mostly older students attend classes, we need to reach out to a younger audience) and different ethnicities (we have a large Latino and Micronesian community in Milan). We would like to dedicate more energy to including these different populations in the future.Our goals are very concrete and measurable, with numbers related to board members, volunteers, web presence and the creation of new evaluation tools. We currently distribute an evaluation after each class, but not after the spoon gathering or various studio sessions. We would like to update the current class evaluations, have a clearer invitation for feedback and class requests on the website, and develop more comprehensive evaluations for our other events and demonstrations. These evaluations will be included in our final reports, as well as synthesized information collected from them. The upcoming board retreat will provide a clearer plan and calendar for evaluative activities.","1. The growth of both classes and the growth of student numbers: This was down a little last year due to the basement project. The school was largely out of commission from July - October while construction was underway. 2. The growth of students and classes in the school’s youth programs: While small in number the classes are growing with a number of instructors interested in developing youth classes. John Larson and Kirstin Lindstrom’s classes have been quite popular and have filled when held. The number of Youth members is steadily growing. 3. The expansion and growth of artist studios: Along with the framing, weaving and silver studios, the school is presently developing a carving studio. The studios continue to prosper, develop and attract students. The Open Carving Night studio was recently opened with plans to develop a ceramics studio in the future. 4. The development of a comprehensive updated website: This is still in progress. A new website is being developed on Squarespace. 5. The development of a student art store: In progress. 6. The development of improved marketing through a greater online presence and a Minneapolis satellite school: In progress. Classes will be trialed in the St. Paul school in 2016. 7. Greater revenue and a larger operating budget: The budget for 2014 is much larger than usual due to the funding raised for the basement and the consequent capital expenses. The overall budget will decrease, but is expected to be higher than previous years. The current Schedule year from October 1- September will be the best sales year the school has had with total sales around $40,000. 8.

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

Having a building to call home will bring sustainability to our program and help our programs thrive. We believe that many of our small communities love art but lack capacity or expertise to have art at the level they would like to have in their communities. Goal two: Work with another community in the area to maximize our resources and make programs/activities accessible beyond the city limits of Granite Falls. We want to take what we have learned and help other struggling communities in the hopes to ignite an energy that will help their program become more sustainable because if more of the communities around us have greater capacity then it is our hope to work together to increase the overall experience for everyone through shared resources. Goal three: Increase our attendance of the summer arts programs by 10% each summer for the next two years. We will work to increase affordability, access and diversity for our summer programs and it is our goal to bring those people into other aspects of our program and in doing so it will grow our program.For goal one – it will be a financial number and easy to measure. For goal two – it will be working with at least one other community and we will develop a rubric with questions to determine if the activities were made possible by the partnership for all organizations involved. It will also have a component for the artists involved to comment on how the partnership impacted their experience as well. For goal three: there will be a comparison of numbers from 2013 forward. We will look at demographics and create a rubric on continued participant engagement. Periodically throughout the year, participants will be contacted to determine how their experience in the summer workshop has or has not kept them engaged with Granite Area Arts Council. In the event the participants have not remained engaged, we will look at the reasons for to determine if appropriate adjustments may be made to improve our program.","Our goal 1 to retire debt: We were able to retire $3,600 of our debt. Goal 2 to work with another community to maximize our resources: Granite Area Arts Council partnered with Friends of the Arts in Renville to schedule a musical performance with Willson and McKee, unfortunately the concert had to be cancelled due to a blizzard. Goal 3 to increase attendance of summer arts program by 10%: We had cement sculpture class, garbage can theatre, earring class, vocal workshop, guitar class, adult ceramics, kids art camp, creative journaling, and photography boot camp. While we had to cancel a few of the classes due to enrollment, we were able to offer a broader and more diverse array and overall attendance was up 46% (from 21 to 46 attendees).

I came away with a variety of ideas to develop online exhibits; work with our CAPS students to increase their skills and benefit the SCHS; add content to our school programs; and brought back more options to utilize our current oral histories. Throughout the conference I noticed that OHMS was a topic of conversation both in and out of sessions. Although I was unable to attend the OHMS workshop on Sunday, I am confident that the contacts I made during the conference will provide me with a pool of resources to call upon when navigating OHMS on my own.

Cable broadcasts and word of mouth publicity about the project have inspired the Northeast Library Friends group to plan a page celebrating Northeast writers, as a prelude to a larger documentation of Northeast artists. The initial gathering session for that project has been tentatively scheduled for Dec. 5, 2014. Because most of the interviews have not yet been uploaded to the project website, we do not yet have viewing and download data. However, based on the popularity of the Southwest Minnesota Food Stories page, we anticipate a significant response to these interviews in the near future. IAS hosted two public programs featuring discussions about interviews with two Twin Cities artists, exploring their creative process. These will serve as a model for 2014-15 programs featuring interviews from this collection. Peter Shea reports that people who were interviewed have recommended other plausible interview candidates, and those people will be interviewed in the course of regular Bat of Minerva production and added to the archive. A Duluth interviewee is interested in collaborating on an extensive project to document Duluth area writers and artists; together they will seek funding from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council. We are also in discussions with several colleagues about a project to digitize the original Northern Lights interviews, which would preserve them and make them more readily accessible. Long-term goals are achievable, based on past experience with publicity, especially editing Wikipedia articles (a very successful policy in the past) and getting word of our project out to MN high school and college teachers in the relevant fields: history, English, visual arts.",,,,,6974,,"Linda Cohen, David Larson, Clyde Allen, Richard Beeson, Laura Brod, Thomas Devine, John Frobenius, Verona Hung, Dean Johnson, David McMillan, Maureen Ramirez, Patricia Simmons",0.01,"Regents of the University of Minnesota (Institute for Advanced Study)","Public College/University","To document in 20 interviews the history of Minnesota's arts and cultural leaders.",,,2013-03-01,2014-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ann,Waltner,"Regents of the University of Minnesota (Institute for Advanced Study)","450 McNamara Alumni Center, 200 Oak Street Southeast",Minneapolis,MN,55455,612-626-5054,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/oral-histories-intellectual-and-cultural-leaders-minnesota-2000-2012,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

Vela developed a written strategy for expanding corporate sponsorship support, including sponsor levels and benefits, prospect identification/connecting, cultivating, asking, and stewarding.

","   Minnesota’s most enduring languages are in danger of disappearing. Without timely intervention, the use of Dakota and Ojibwe languages – like indigenous languages throughout the globe -- will decline to a point beyond recovery.    These languages embody irreplaceable worldviews. They express, reflect, and maintain communal connections and ways of understanding the world. Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves.  ","Grant Activities: The short term goals are to use language and traditional teachings as literacy tools through the development of an Anishinaabemowin Family Literacy program taking place throughout the 2012-2013 school years.

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

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

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

Barriers were eliminated with transportation, hands-on activities and arts participation provided for families. 2: As the largest human services agency in the region, Catholic Charities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis relies on building and sustaining relationship with community partners to fill the gaps in service the agency is unable to provide or perhaps a program that a community partner can enhance. The Early Bridges Residency through Children's Theater Company has been a strong partner with Northside Child Development Center. What made this year's program successful was not only did Early Bridges enhance learning within the classroom by offering storytelling and other interactive activities, but for the first time in our collaborative history, Northside Child Development Center youth and parents/guardians were invited to a free performance off-site. The performance of The Very Hungry Caterpillar was an especially unique for Northside Child Development Center families because there was an interactive component at the end of the play. Actors/puppeteers came out after the performance to reflect and initiate discussion on the imagery, puppetry and other theatrical components.",,8,"Other, local or private",25008,,"Ellen L.

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

Terese Haggerty Lueck, OTR/L Child Development Specialist and Unified Therapy Director of The Family Partnership collaborated with Magic Lantern Puppet Theater Artist Anne Sawyer-Aitch throughout the project. As this was the first time the two organizations had worked together, we needed to communicate daily about scheduling, adjustments to curriculum, and suggestions from Teachers. There was a learning curve for all of us, but on the whole we felt we created a good rapport. We also have written and verbal evaluations from Terese, Teachers, and participating Artists. This has provided a wealth of information that we can use to deepen and improve our arts access program with Magic Lantern at The Family Partnership. 2: The Family Partnership children saw a puppet show first. According to the evaluations, overall the children displayed a higher than average level of engagement during these performances. They remembered the story and showed increased interest in storytelling and playing with the center’s hand puppets. They also enjoyed the puppet-making and created their own imaginary creatures, like the heroine in the show. The Director said that this showed a greater use of executive functions.

We work with people who can’t get around as easily as they used to. The beauty of our work with Kairos is that they are able to participate (and encouraged to participate) in any way that is comfortable for them. This can mean dancing or swaying in their chair or wheelchair, with movements modified as needed. Additionally, with the barrier of dementia, we are able to build on their past experiences, which seem to be much more present than the current time. We encourage participants to think of things from the past and build on those memories. We also encourage everyone to be comfortable with who they are and how they need to move or experience what we are doing; we encourage the sense of community, that all are worthy of love and respect. 2: The mission of FamilyMeans is to strengthen communities by strengthening families. Our 2013 – 2015 Strategic Plan’s three stated strategies are to serve and engage the growing aging population, sustain and expand our prevention and support services, and continue to create a culture willing to recreate, renew and innovate in all areas of the agency.

The Paramount artists had not had experiences with Hands Across the World clientele or the cultures they represented. The language barrier was a concern for all. Hands Across the World clients had not had experience with the art forms or the traditions that the artists were prepared to share. Hands Across the World clients had come from severe camp settings, some for many years, and lacked the fine motor coordination needed to manipulate scissors, paint brushes, sewing materials, etc. Hands Across the World lacked funding to hire artists and provide supplies necessary to promote and offer such classes, nor did they have knowledge about the artists available and the studios to provide the experiences. Assessment came by virtue of contracting quality artists, securing attendees for the classes, and having product worthy of purchase and exhibition. 2: Hands Across the World and the Paramount facility are only two blocks away from each other, but through grant programs have just recently begun to work together. The longer we work together the more familiar we become with each other's infrastructures, strengths, challenges and opportunities. This knowledge will allow us to continue to deepen the relationship and continue to enrich the artistic life and expression for the Hands Across the World clients and for the community at large. So far, we have only begun to explore the way to help these clients heal through the power of the arts. We are eager to continue this relationship, knowing that it helps both agencies to truly fulfill their missions.

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

Every veteran bellmaker has his or her own story, like this one, from a spouse: It's hard to describe the pride and confidence and joy my spouse has been filled with since finishing the bell casting project. He takes great pride bringing it to events and articulating the process of making the bell and the mission of Vets for Peace. He was so shy, but his public speaking skills are ringing out like his bell. Our bell ringing for peace happens at many events here, not just November 11, and now at least one of the veteran made bells goes, with mention of the Arts Board grant and the process. The bells will go to our national convention in August to ring out the beginning. When we were at Festival of Nations, many students were English Second Language, often from war-torn countries. They expressed joy that veterans were working for peace, and there was often talk of We could do a project like that at school. All this, and I work part-time for Plymouth Church, running a program for adults with mental illness (not necessarily veterans, but mental health issues for veterans duly noted). Several times, as we worked on the bells, artists we encountered expressed interest in creating art experiences for this population. This is all narrative/anecdotal evaluation, but we experienced a great rippling out of excitement and inspiration from just making it all happen. Project was designed to give a small group of veterans the opportunity to create their own bell, an iconic artifact that historically has rung out for peace, but perhaps more often been melted into weapons for use in war-making. This is healing on so many levels. The grant called for a closing program, which we staged at Plymouth Church on March 20, World Storytelling Day. 150 people came, maybe 1.0 from Plymouth, One minister sent a note, Thank you so much for bringing this amazing program to Plymouth. It was so powerful and moving. We thought that wonderful night was the end, but then the Festival of Nations (also supported by Arts and Heritage Fund) heard about us and asked us to be there with a Peace Bells exhibit and bell ringing and stories on the stage each hour. There seems to be a contagious excitement about this that just won't stop. Two of our veteran belimakers are visual artists, but most are not. I'm a veteran and a storyteller, but normally would not have opted to do something like this. I did it because of what it's about, and I'm amazed at how many non-artistic types I run into who say, I'd like to make a bell like that.",,,,8700,,"Larry Johnson, Tim Hansen, Dave Logsdon, Chante Wolf, Steve McKeown, Bruce Berry",0.00,"Veterans for Peace Minneapolis Chapter 27","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Partners in Arts Participation",,"Sculptor Gita Ghei and veteran artist Chante Wolf will lead military veterans, some from the Veterans for Peace Organization, in two metal casting workshops using sustainable processes.",2013-06-01,2014-01-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dave,Johnson,"Veterans for Peace Minneapolis Chapter 27","1806 Riverside Ave Ste 3A",Minneapolis,MN,55454,"(612) 821-9141 ",larryjvfp@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board",,"Hennepin, Ramsey",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/partners-arts-participation-99,"Judson Bemis Jr.: Actor, arts administrator, founder and principal of Clere Consulting.

Due to the grant award, many residents were able to participate because the tickets were provided at a reduced rate in conjunction with provided transportation and staff coordination. Residents were also less likely to attend events in the past due to fear of going to an event in an unknown place by themselves. Residents were able to sign up for this event with a friend and seats were provided adjacent to familiar residents. This encouraged them to utilize the opportunity because going with a friend made them feel more comfortable. We obtained confirmation on meeting this objective through participant interviews. 2: Although the Sheldon Theater is located in relatively close proximity to the housing facility, due to the previously described barriers the majority of residents had not attended past performances. Since this partnership, the theater has developed an understanding of the barriers faced by the residents regarding access to performances and they have agreed to work with us outside of the grant program to help make performances more accessible for our residents.

To remedy this, we contacted individual donors with a specific ask of donating for footwear. 2: Partnerships are developed between social service organizations, artists, and arts organizations to better serve underserved communities: There were some great and unexpected outcomes to this project.

Many lower income families have less access to art, especially at the community-wide scale that we conceived for our project. Our goal was to invite their program participants, as well as other families in the Midtown neighborhood, to activate Kix Field (owned by Urban Ventures) and break down barriers to experience a large-scale art project in the neighborhood, transforming the way they view the field and the Midtown Greenway, and to participating in the arts. We were prepared to document and measure participation via video and questionnaires at the event. However, as noted, due to the rain storm, very few people attended the project and for safety reasons (i.e., lightning) it was not activated/electrified.

NETS is a day treatment program for 35 emotionally disturbed youth in grades 5-12. Students served by NETS have 3 major social and learning deficits: inexperience in the discipline of the arts, inability to communicate their thoughts and emotions, and misconstrued views of touch. The week long artists in residency helps NETS’ students address these deficits. The experience enriches the students’ knowledge of the arts, increases their ability to communicate their feelings and builds a feeling of trust. The program is evaluated with a documentation review. NETS produces weekly reports of student attendance, behavior room use, and daily average points. Each student’s progress is assessed by examining data from the weeks before, during, and after participation in the dance program. Again, as in the past nine years, the programming achieved the expected outcomes of helping students address their deficits. The majority of these students are low income and would not participate in the arts due to access barriers. The two paramount barriers of cost and transportation are alleviated through this partnership. Students experience dance, develop a dance for the final performance and attend a professional dance performance. This type of arts participation would not occur without this grant. Additionally, families are provided transportation if necessary, to the final student performance. Transportation is provided through agency vans or taxi vouchers.

Among these issues are mental illness, chronic health conditions, cognitive disabilities, and traumatic brain injury. Those who face these issues often cannot find safe places to create, learn about art and explore personal creativity. Many lacked self-esteem, and feared being stigmatized because of the combination of their current living situation and the illness issues with which they are faced. Many never had a chance to explore their artistic abilities because they felt intimidated or overwhelmed in formal classroom settings.

We also engaged participants in individual and group conversations, to discern their progress. We saw these barriers lessen, as they became engaged in a variety of high quality arts activities led by professional artist/teachers this year. 2: We partnered with ArtiCulture because of their successful programming for people with a variety of mental and physical health challenges, their belief that art should be accessible to all, and their dedication to inspiring social change through art. These values align well with the mission of Our Saviour’s Community Services; to increase skills and improve lives. Our Saviour’s Housing’s programs are increasingly focused on the whole person. While housing and re-housing is our primary mission, we know residents have the best opportunity for success when they live in a community where all aspects of their lives are enhanced. Prior to receiving this grant, our organizations had not worked together, although we are located in the same neighborhood. Through engagement with this program, we developed a strong partnership, and are better able to serve underserved communities.

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

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.

First Friday’s which is an intensive family event, open to the entire region, continues to build and draw people who have never visited the Museum. Third Thursday’s, new this year, is an added opportunity to offer intensive programming targeted on health, nutrition and gardening “Grow what you eat” concepts for example. By providing two programs that have a target and focus the effort to encourage attendance at other general museum events is paying off. We are able to effectively market to the key communities we seek to reach with more intensive program offerings. 3. Currently, with supplemental support from the Legacy funds, we are installing the hardware, software and doing the data conversion to track all attendance.

Agricultural land uses such as tiling and ditching within the Pelican Lake watershed have altered the natural hydrology and contributed to the decline in water quality. High water levels in Pelican Lake have contributed to persistent and increased rough and game fish populations, as well as a shift from rooted aquatic plants (macrophytes) to algae-dominated (plankton) communities. Increased turbidity due to re-suspension of bottom sediments and algae has resulted in the absence of rooted macrophytes from large areas of the lake.  These macrophytes, when present, moderate wave action, stabilize bottom sediments, uptake nutrients, and provide habitat for invertebrates. These factors have resulted in Pelican Lake changing over time from a “clear water state” to a “turbid state"" and caused negative effects on lake productivity for waterfowl and shorebirds that historically used Pelican Lake as a migration stopover destination. The loss of important food sources associated with diverse macrophyte and invertebrate communities was the primary factor associated with declining use of the lake by waterfowl and shorebirds. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) cooperated with Ducks Unlimited to install the significant infrastructure needed to enhance Pelican Lake through managed drawdowns. In 2012, Ducks Unlimited completed bioengineering designs and preliminary construction plans for the Pelican Lake project and oversaw all subsequent construction.  The project focused on the construction of a variable crest outlet weir and pump lift station which would allow for the gradual dewatering of the basin through an outlet (also developed as part of this project). The outlet was completed in 2014 and was followed by construction of a stoplog weir structure.  A pump station was constructed at the existing edge of the eastern-most bay of Pelican Lake. A 24-inch intake pipe was installed from this point for 900 feet into the lake The intake pipe involved placement of a structure within the lakebed to support the intake pipe at the proper elevation. The pump allows lower drawdowns than are possible with the weir structure alone.   The water level management that this project makes possible is guided by the Pelican Lake Management Plan (2012), which details habitat objectives for the lake and defines triggers that determine what and when management actions are taken.  Pelican Lake is currently in the middle of a multi-year drawdown. The DNR plans to develop a parking lot and lake access point in 2019 to give hunters and visitors better access to Pelican Lake.   ",2013-07-01,2018-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Ricky,Lien,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources","500 Lafayette Rd Box 20","St. Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5227",ricky.lien@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Wright,"Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/pelican-lake-enhancement,,,, 21658,"Pennington County Fair Accessibility Project",2013,6174,"Laws of MN, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 10","These amounts are appropriated to the commissioner of agriculture for grants to county agricultural societies to enhance arts access and education and to preserve and promote Minnesota's history and cultural heritage as embodied in its county fairs.

Object care reports were completed for all pieces cleaned. Photos were taken of cleaning process and documenting before and after cleaning for all pieces. 32 objects were examined for mold, and condition reports were prepared for each. Recommendations were made for next steps to address presence of mold. Museum staff was trained on collection care in regards to moth infestation and prevention: All were trained on moth monitoring and data collection in the galleries, 2 staff were trained in freezing, cleaning and affected object storage policy. A draft overall Collections Policy and Plan is in process, in collaboration between Mai Vang and Somali Museum team These results were achieved due to the hard work and commitment of the project team, as well as the effective support of allies of the Somali Museum including building landlord (who accommodated needs for additional space and unconventional use of facilities) and Museum patrons (who continued to show their support for the Museum's work). The scope of projects treated for moths was larger than projected due to a newly discovered immediate danger to the collection; the scope of work completed to clean the presence of mold was less than proposed due to additional time required for moth work and the realization that the team available for the project did not have adequate capacity to effectively treat mold-impacted pieces.",,,"Available upon request.

The City of Apple Valley is proposing a combination of two enhancements to achieve a 61 pound reduction in phosphorus. First is the installation of an iron enhanced sand filter to the banks of the pond. When water levels increase after rain events, water will flow through the filter before leaving the pond. Particulate phosphorus will be removed as water passes through the sand and dissolved phosphorus would chemically bind to the iron in the filter. The second enhancement is a phased application of aluminum sulfate (alum) to the pond. The alum application will be distributed over three years to maintain healthy pH levels in the pond. Sediments in the pond bottom store phosphorus that is periodically released into the water column when certain conditions occur throughout the year. Alum chemically binds and locks phosphorus in the pond sediments. Water clarity will improve after application of alum and promote growth of aquatic plants, improving wildlife habitat and aesthetics.

Upon entering the museum's Then Now Wow exhibit gallery, students receive handheld devices installed with the mobile application. The application enhances students' experiences and promotes interaction with the physical exhibit by encouraging them to answer questions, solve problems and collect digital artifacts related to the exhibit and MNHS collection items. Students and teachers can access this ""digital backpack"" of collected artifacts back in the classroom, further expanding on the field trip experience. In FY17, MNHS launched the ""Tipi hub,"" which was developed with Dakota artists and activists to add more American Indian content to Play the Past. The new addition includes quests exploring Dakota art, language and food.

MNHS recently added a new tool for Play the Past teachers while at the museum. MNHS now provides teachers with iPads to access their students' digital backpacks while in the gallery, allowing teachers to see students' progress in real time and students to explore the resources of the digital backpacks before reaching home. Over 90 percent of teachers reported that this new tool helped them to understand what their students were doing during Play the Past. Over 95 percent of teachers reported that their students were either extremely or very engaged with Play the Past. MNHS is also working with Dakota artists and activists to add more American Indian content to Play the Past, layering on quests that explore Dakota art, language, and food in the tipi area of the Then Now Wow exhibit.

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

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

That habitat traditionally required maintenance by prescribed burning. However, mowing can be more feasible and can provide future commodity incentives through a carbon-negative energy source. Our prevailing question was how grassland areas could be harvested annually without upsetting their ability to support wildlife. We organized over 1,000 acres into 60 production-size, 20-acre plots spanning the temperature gradient in western Minnesota.

Activities identified in this project directly reflect implementation strategies identified in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Properties targeted for acquisition were identified and prioritized using MN County Biological Survey Rare Element Occurrences and Biodiversity Significance. The geographies we worked within, in addition to being Prairie Plan Core areas, reflect areas with the highest density and highest quality remaining prairie systems left in the state. By focusing our work in these particular landscapes we increased the functionality of the overall prairie/grassland systems, including increased water retention, improved breeding and nesting habitat and augmented migratory corridors. While our work focused on increasing and maintaining system functionality a number of individual species and suites of SPGCN directly benefited from this project including: Insects - habitat management and protection specifically for the federally-threatened Dakota skipper butterfly, potential restoration of habitat for the endangered Poweshiek skipperling and the declining regal fritillary butterflies Mammals - American badger (an indicator species requiring intact blocks of quality habitat), elk (for herd management in NW MN) Reptiles - hognose snake (primarily in western MN counties of Lac qui Parle, Big Stone and Yellow Medicine), 5-lined skink (rock outcroppings in the upper MN River Valley) Birds - Grassland dependent birds have experienced precipitous population decline across Minnesota and the northern Great Plains, largely due to habitat loss on the breeding grounds.

Project partners, primarily through our participation in Prairie Plan Local Technical teams, helped us to prioritize and refine guidelines for protection, enhancement and restoration activities within priority landscapes. The Prairie Recovery Program utilizes a collaborative model for conservation and we regularly consult and work with a variety of entities including state and federal agencies, other conservation nonprofits, agricultural producer groups and local governments. 539 acres of existing and restorable grassland were permanently protected within prairie core and corridor areas as defined in the MN Prairie Conservation Plan. Most of the protected lands (499 acres) are, or are in the process of being transferred to the MN DNR for inclusion in the state's WMA system. The additional 40 acres are held by The Nature Conservancy, subject to a recorded notice of funding restrictions pursuant to LSOHC requirements. All lands acquired in fee are FULLY open to hunting and fishing per state of Minnesota regulations. Basic developments have been implemented (boundary signage, habitat improvement, wetland restoration). Protection efforts were coordinated with other partner protection programs (e.g., DNR Wildlife Management Area and Prairie Bank programs), via interactions through Local Technical Teams. An internal fund has been established by The Nature Conservancy to cover ongoing land-management costs and property tax obligations. Income generated by agricultural leases (grazing, haying, and/or cropping) are held in this account and help offset property taxes. 151 acres of cropland were restored to diverse, local-ecotype grassland or grassland/wetland complex. Extensive effort was made to collect seed from local sources that cover the full season (early spring through late fall) needs of native pollinators. Seed sourcing included both mechanical and hand collection. 24,604 acres of grassland complex were enhanced on public lands and those purchased with OHF funds and held by the Conservancy (?protected conservation lands?) to increase native species diversity and improve critical wildlife habitat. Management techniques included prescribed fire, removal of woody vegetation, control of invasive species, and inter-seeding of degraded grasslands. Much of this work was accomplished by private vendors through contracts. We also extensively used Conservation Corps of Minnesota (CCM) crews and seasonal staff employed directly by TNC. On-the-ground Conservancy staff provided by this grant were co-located in DNR or US Fish and Wildlife Service offices and helped form and lead local coordination and implementation teams; identified protection, restoration and enhancement needs and opportunities within the focus areas; worked with DNR and USFWS staff to delineate conservation projects on public lands; coordinated deployment of contract and staff resources to protected conservation lands; contacted and worked with private landowners to coordinate agricultural activities/leases on appropriate protected conservation lands (e.g., haying, grazing, cropping in advance of restoration); educated lessees on appropriate conservation",,2015-07-01,2023-01-11,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Neal,Feeken,"The Nature Conservancy","1101 W River Parkway Suite 200",Minneapolis,MN,55415,"(612) 331-0738",nfeeken@tnc.org,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Becker, Big Stone, Chippewa, Clay, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac qui Parle, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Pope, Red Lake, Roseau, Stearns, Swift","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/mn-prairie-recovery-project-phase-vi,,,, 35039,"Prairie Chicken Habitat Partnership of the Southern Red River Valley",2016,1762000,"ML 2015, First Sp.

The enthusiasm of the entire KLA membership has been generated. A system for gathering, cataloging and carefully preserving and filing historically relevant materials is in place, with further work to be done with additional materials to be placed in the archive. The cooperation of the Laporte School has been outstanding. Two file cabinets are safely located in the safest part of this new building, already holding the nearly 3000 items collected thus far. All measurable Short-term outcomes as identified in the grant application were achieved. The consultant made 2 visits to the lake in 2013 and 1 in 2014, attending KLA events and meeting with KLA members and others. She spent considerable time with the project director both at the lake and in the Twin Cities, giving guidance so that he could, in turn train other volunteers at the lake. Likewise, the intermediate range goals have largely been fulfilled. Work took place in the Twin Cities with discussions with the consultant. Records of early treaties and land transfers have been located and partially cataloged. Finding records of land ownership for individual properties has proven to be a much more difficult and time-consuming activity, and so has been set aside temporarily. On the other hand, much of the work has focused on dealing with the materials at hand and that has involved more time than estimated. The good results were produced by the high competence of Lydia Lucas, and by the enthusiastic participation of KLA members. As to long-term goals, the creation of an archive is never completed. Newly created items must be added, and other, older items will still be uncovered. However, KLA is committed to maintaining the archive and making it available to interested parties",,,1406,,3456,,"Pat DeChaine (President), Jan Yarger (President-elect), Mary Lynn Espenmiller (Secretary), Jerry Amundson (Treasurer), Gary Arndt.

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.

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

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

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.

The director of the Saint Cloud State Percussion Ensemble will also be asked to survey his performers, who will be expected to rate the event high on the evaluation scales.At the post-concert reception, leaders of the collaborative groups will be asked for their assessments of the performance quality and audience response. Written assessments will be submitted soon after the concert evening. Discussion will be raised and musicians' reviews encouraged as the conductor comments on the concert at the next rehearsal. A full review of feedback questionnaires from the collaborative relationships will be made by the Buffalo Community Orchestra Board of Directors. The detailed feedback questionnaires covering the full season's offerings will be restructured for inclusion in the Notes On-line newsletter, using Survey Monkey to tabulate and analyze responses. Buffalo Community Orchestra musicians at the pre-June concert rehearsal will be asked to evaluate the year's program and performances in a review questionnaire.","Audience numbers of 250 and ticket sales of $1900 were set as goals to reflect how well our publicity has reached out into nearby communities; 241 paying attendees were recorded, for a sales total of $2877, in addition free tickets given to students and families of performing students. These figures and impressions were analyzed at the post-concert board meeting. At least 14 of the predicted 30 Suzuki students participated in the pre-concert performance; they performed original music and thus the beginning Suzuki students were not included this year. Students of the Buffalo High School Chamber Orchestra gave positive feedback. Several joined Buffalo Community Orchestra for future concerts, indicating success on this goal for collaborations. The director of the Saint Cloud State Percussion Ensemble and his performers rated the event high in post-concert feedback; they indicated a desire for future performances with Buffalo Community Orchestra.

Music students at Saint Cloud State University will have heard this group and had an opportunity to discuss relevant matters with them (e.g., careers in music, etc.).We will be able to document the number of people who were reached by this project, as attendees will be counted. Surveys will be used at the concert to determine the audience's opinions about the performance, the repertoire, and how it compared with their expectations; workshop participants will complete a questionnaire regarding the educational value of their experience. We will take photos to document all activities except the formal concert.","Outcomes matched those in our application with one exception: although the music department at Saint Cloud State University had expressed interest in having the Quartet appear at the weekly colloquium, it turned out that there were no classes that day, so we arranged to have the members of the Quartet work with students at Kennedy Community School in St Joseph instead. Outcomes therefore included having our concert audience hear two exciting works from the standard quartet repertoire and a preview performance of a new work written for the Quartet plus violist James Dunham. The composer was in attendance and gave a short but helpful and informative introduction to the new work. At the workshop, local adult amateur musicians received excellent coaching in string quartet playing. And the junior high school students at Kennedy heard the Quartet play and spent some time working with them in small ensembles.

Residency participants will also have a greater sense of what informs Arabic music through the education components of Simon Shaheen’s outreach. Fine Arts Programming anticipates that area youth who participate in residencies will have a better appreciation for Middle Eastern music and culture through hands-on interactions with Shaheen. Fine Arts Programming staff members expect that these activities will also strengthen relationships with our residency partners, which in turn will facilitate future partnerships.Fine Arts Programming will work with each residency partner to outline specific desired outcomes. Following the residency activities, Fine Arts Programming will gather feedback responses from workshop facilitators to find out if the activities met the intended goals and/or expectations for each different demographic. These will be narrative responses, giving partners a chance to provide more meaningful feedback. When we have partnered in the past, many times, facilitators ask their participants to journal about their experiences; these reflections have provided a wealth of information on the impact of arts activities. Fine Arts Programming will ask for this kind of feedback from College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University faculty whose classes take part in workshops with Shaheen, as well as the groups from District 742, Hands Across the World, the Bethlehem Sudanese Community, and the Anna Marie’s Alliance group. The easiest and most often used measure of success will, of course, be attendance numbers at residency activities and at the public performance. Fine Arts Programming will track ticket sales and participation numbers at residency events as well as survey the public performance audience to find out if this performance attracted new audiences to a World Music performance as anticipated and if this style of World Music was successful at changing attitudes and/or perceptions of the genre.","One need identified in the application was that this project could help introduce new audiences to World Music, or whether it would successfully change attitudes and/or perceptions of the genre. Survey results indicate that 74% of the audience attended any kind of Middle Eastern music performance 0-5 times before. More importantly, 64% of the audience indicated that this performance changed their understanding or perspective on Middle Eastern Music. Residency participants walked away with new ways of approaching introducing music, and more specifically, world music to their constituents. The work in music bridging cultures was also an important outcome in the creative process. Patrons at the public performance were asked to complete surveys to find out if this project attracted new audiences to world music performances or if this project changed perceptions of Middle Eastern music.

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.

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.

(Artist statements on display with their artwork)","The grant provided an opportunity for both students and teachers to increase their knowledge of Ojibway and Dakota tribes, their cultures and traditions. The staff development piece was received with great enthusiasm. Since all grade levels need to incorporate Minnesota American Indian content as part of their standards, teachers were very interested in getting information and finding resources to support their teaching. The presenter explained how the Perpich library system works. Through our media center, we now have a way to return books without a fee. Teachers were excited about this. Students gained a new appreciation and understanding of native cultures and peoples of Minnesota, by connecting with 3 Native visiting artists, learning the context of Native artworks, and by trying new art techniques. Students learned about the Dakota and Ojibwe traditions of beading, pottery, and star knowledge, and got to make a functional piece of pottery, star painting, and beaded band with traditional techniques. A written post evaluation was used to determine the students’ level of understanding of Native people, and a wrap-up session with Darlene St Clair, American Indian Studies professor at Saint Cloud State University, elicited many reflective responses from the students on what they had learned. The students were very excited about each of the Native Artist Visits. Students used a Descriptive Review Protocol to explore Native artwork. They became quite good at this process. It was especially rewarding for them to have the artist right there to confirm (or not) their thoughts. Students shared their knowledge one evening at a community showcase where their artwork was on display along with a videotape of the students working with the artists. Students were on hand to answer questions from the public. Increased interest and appreciation for Minnesota's indigenous people was noted in student responses to additional learning opportunities outside of the project, such as the invitation to Saint Cloud State University's spring Pow-wow.",,1439,"Other, local or private",4795,350,,,"Kennedy Community School","K-12 Education","Minnesota Native American Cultures and Traditions",,"Artist Anne Meyer along with artists and presenters from the Ojibway and Dakota tribes will work with Kennedy 6th grade teachers to develop sessions throughout the school year to improve student and teacher knowledge of Minnesota Native American culture and traditions through their art.",2013-07-01,2014-03-28,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Michaelene,Lucia,"Kennedy Community School","1300 Jade Rd á","St Joseph",MN,56374,"(320) 363-7791 ",michaelene.lucia@isd742.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Stearns,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-round-3-10,"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; 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; Helene Woods: nonprofit and public administrator, Board Member of the Monticello Arts Council; P.J.

An additional 20 people, including students and adults, would be recruited in either crew or production volunteer positions. The cast would include 5-10 first time theater performers, either students or adults. A new mentorship program would be established where students learn various crew positions from experienced adults. At least 2 educational opportunities for students to serve in crew, non-paid positions would offered. Ticket sales would increase from past musical productions by 25%. Of that 25% ticket sale increase, 25% would be first time theater patrons. Audience satisfaction would be evaluated by distributing simple 3 question surveys when patrons purchased student/senior or adult tickets at the door. A survey return rate of 80% would be considered successful. Of the 80% of returned surveys, 80% of those would rate their experience as favorable. One new Kimball Community Playhouse Board Member would be would be recruited due to their positive experience with Footloose from an artistic and production standpoint. Kimball Community Playhouse would gain 5 new donors or a total of $500 in donations.Kimball Community Playhouse would measure the success of the outcomes stated for the July, 2013, production of Footloose using several methods. The audition process includes individuals completing audition forms that clearly ask for any prior theater experience. Those audition forms are collected by the artistic director prior to to auditioning. They would be counted to determine the total number of people that auditioned. The number of individuals who auditioned that had no prior theater experience would also be tallied. The new mentorship program for student crew members would be advertised on audition posters posted locally and in surrounding communities, in advertising in local publications, on the Kimball Community Playhouse website and on Facebook. Copies could be the new student crew mentorship program being advertised could be submitted for validation. The number of students would be recorded and those students could be asked to fill out a small form asking about the positive outcomes of their experience. Ticket sales from the past 5 Kimball Community Playhouse musical theater productions could be tallied and an average determined. Ticket sales from Footloose would then be compared to the average for the last 5 years and the increase could be ascertained. A survey would be handed out to individuals purchasing or receiving student/senior or adult tickets at the door when tickets are purchased. That survey would be extremely simple and would contain 3 questions: 1) Have you ever attended a theatrical production before; 2) Would you rate this Kimball Community Playhouse production of Footloose as favorable, unfavorable or no opinion 3) Would you recommend this production to a friend or family member. There would also be a spot for comments. This survey would accomplish several things. It would allow Kimball Community Playhouse to determine the approximate number of first time theater patrons. The number of surveys collected could be counted and compared to the number of student/senior or adult tickets sold. The number of surveys collected that indicated they would consider the production as favorable would also be tallied. A survey response of on opinion would not be counted. New Kimball Community Playhouse Board Members recruited as a result of a positive experience with Footloose could be asked to fill out a small form indicating why they decided to join the Kimball Community Playhouse Board of Directors. The addition of a new Kimball Community Playhouse Board Member after the production could be verified by providing a production playbill that lists current board members and the new board member form. Likewise, the production playbill would also list current donors. Documentation could be provided after the production that indicated when new donors made their contribution.","We had 29 people audition for roles and were able to cast all 29. Our goal was 40, however six of them were first time theater performers which met our goal of introducing over five. An additional six had never done a production outside of a school performance. This successful outcome was measured by counting and reviewing audition forms. We exceeded our goal of mentoring two students in crew positions by involving four students in crew positions that were new to them. We were also able to involve four adults in crew positions that were unfamiliar to them. The effectiveness of these educational opportunities were evaluated through personal interviews and feedback. In additional, information regarding the availability of crew mentorship opportunities was added to the Kimball Community Playhouse website. Kimball Community Playhouse exceeded its goal of increasing ticket sales by 25% from recent productions, by increasing ticket sales by approximately 40%. Ticket sales were greater than they have been in 6 years and total ticket sales were 437 for three performances. For the last 5 years, ticket sales for three performances have averaged 315. To determine the level of the increase, tickets sales from performances from the last 5 years were tallied and averaged, then compared to the most recent production. Kimball Community Playhouse recruited three new board members, exceeding their goal of recruiting one. Acceptance of their new roles as Kimball Community Playhouse Board members is currently verbal. New board members will begin their term in January 2014, and their participation will be noted in meeting minutes from that meeting.

Minnesota Center Chorale’s collaborative efforts continue to enhance the experiences of both patrons and Minnesota Center Chorale members. During the post-concert reception, patrons often speak with guest artists and provide feedback. Minnesota Center Chorale board members and singers discuss guest performances with patrons during the concert reception. At the next scheduled rehearsal, Minnesota Center Chorale’s director discusses guest artist experiences with choir members. At the next board meeting, Minnesota Center Chorale director discusses comments with board members and as a group they discover what portions of the project were successful and which portions should be altered for future success. 3. Reach and attract a 15% larger audience base through collaboration with the Youth Chorale. The survey will ask patrons how they heard about the concert. This will allow Minnesota Center Chorale to gauge which advertising efforts are most successful and which ones need improvement. The questionnaire will also ask patrons how many times they have seen Minnesota Center Chorale and the Youth Chorale, which will provide information about exposure for the choirs involved. Ticket information will inform what percent of the audience was adult, senior, student, and youth. The audience breakdown will be used to understand the effects of collaboration with a choir made up of young singers on attracting new audience members. 4. Patrons provide feedback verbally and in their questionnaire. Comments made by patrons to performers will be passed on to Minnesota Center Chorale’s director at the next rehearsal. The director will then bring those comments before the board at the next board meeting. Surveys will be collected and evaluated to determine patron feedback. 5. Patrons will gain knowledge through program notes about the background and history of the spiritual and nature-alluding text from “Rejoice in the Lamb,” and its author, Christopher Smart. Patrons will also understand through program notes how the text from the other works performed relays a sense of friendship, and how Flannery Cunningham’s text was inspired by the early settlers of St Cloud, Minnesota. 6.

Outcomes Achieved 1 and 2) Patrons provided positive feedback to Minnesota Center Chorale members and Ms. Martinson during the post-concert reception. Many enthusiastic responses from audience members were shared with the board at the November 2012 board meeting. 3) The total audience attending was calculated at 383 members. The total audience attending was much larger than the audience of Minnesota Center Chorale’s Fall 2011 concert at Saint Mary’s of 132. 4) Survey responses showed many attendees appreciation of the collaboration between the youthful and mature voices. When asked what was liked about the concert, comments included “The setting was nice and the inter-generational choirs performing along and together”; “All the different ages were Awesome to hear together ;) [sic]”; “I liked the inclusion of the younger choirs. The chance for our local young singers to get the chance to participate with veteran singers is invaluable [sic].” Some surveyed offered constructive criticism: “Actually would like to listen to a couple more combined choir pieces…”; “The repertoire could have complimented each other more”; “…would like to see fewer of them [religious selections] and more secular songs…” 5) During the post-concert reception, one patron told Ms. Martinson she found the inclusion of the text and background information about Britten’s “Rejoice in the Lamb” very helpful in understanding why Britten set the music in particular ways to match the meaning of the text. 6) Flannery Cunningham’s commissioned work reached 200 singers and 383 audience members, well over the proposed numbers.",,3440,"Other, local or private",6987,,"Mark Braun, Steve Holste, Beverly Fierick, Keith Larson, Laura Capes, Tom Ramsey, Amber Chmielewski, Roger McHaney, Jonna Thomas, Denise Honkomp",,"Minnesota Center Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rejoice in the Lamb",,"Minnesota Center Chorale presents its October 2012 concert “Rejoice in the Lamb” at Saint Mary’s Cathedral in St Cloud, Minnesota.

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. We will be using these scores for future use. The number of scores we will need to order will help us measure the goal of impacting the lives of those in the community who wish to sing with a major event, but cannot commit to a year-long rehearsal and concert schedule of local community choirs.","1) We expected 600 patrons and the actual amount was 502. 2) We expected 30 community members to join Kantorei onstage to sing with Messiah, but only 16 did. This is because there were three other choral concerts that night, and many of the singers in those groups were the singers that we expected to join Kantorei onstage. 3) We expected 250 patrons to sing along with Messiah during the choral sections. However, the actual amount exceeded this by over 100 to our estimates. We printed 250 copies of the choral sections, and we ran out with many patrons wanting them. Next time we will be prepared for 400. Far fewer people had their own scores than we anticipated, though many did. 5) We expected over 100 high school students to participate - but many of the high school students, including the members of the Youth Chorale of Minnesota, the likely singers, had their own concert that night. The methods we used for this evaluation were ticket sales, observation during the concert, and comparison with scores printed vs scored needed. We also put a 1/2 page survey into each program.

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.

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.

By assisting Dan in exhibiting these at local art events, the Downtown Alliance Foundation connected with funders and raised $1200 to help fund this project. 4. The Downtown Alliance Foundation used the $1200 in funds raised to pay for administrative and publicity costs incurred during this project. 5. By assisting in selecting the 8 buildings to be depicted in paintings and providing written summaries of their historical and architectural significance, the Historical Preservation Commission of Saint Cloud contributed to a project that builds upon their previous efforts to recognize and protect buildings or sites that reflect significant elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, visual, or architectural history. 6. Artist Dan Mondloch educated art show audiences and gathered essential feedback from them at 5 art based events. This feedback was essential to the research and development component of this project grant. 7. Audiences provided a clear ranking of buildings depicted in the paintings. This is an outcome of the research and development for a public art project. 8. Audiences have greater appreciation for downtown architecture, place higher importance on preserving the buildings for future generations, feel more connected to their community by learning about their shared history, plan to use downtown as a destination more frequently in the future, and overall have increased awareness about the architecturally and historically significant buildings in downtown St Cloud. Creation and exhibition of these paintings connected a wider audience of people to the important stories and cultural history that these buildings represent. 9. After viewing these paintings and responding to research and development letters of inquiry, the owners of the buildings depicted signed agreements for permanent exterior installation of plaques featuring their building and a summary of its historical significance, thereby acknowledging the value in incorporating art into their property. This plaque model symbolizes the potential for historic architecture to be the common thread among businesses and provides education to the diverse population that visits downtown. 10. Evidence of research and development for a public art project including a list of the top 4 ranking buildings of Saint Cloud's downtown, locations for traveling exhibition, and permanent interior installation permission.1. We will have evidence that our efforts toward strengthening the business and educational infrastructure of downtown are complete when the prototype of the plaque for historic buildings is created and shared with local building owners and met with positive response and interest. By the end of January 2013, Dan will email Downtown Alliance Foundation photos and notes from individual meetings with business owners where he shared the prototype. 2. Digital files of completed paintings emailed from Dan to Downtown Alliance Foundation by November 9th will verify that the paintings are completed. A digital photo of Dan showing an exterior plaque prototype to a building owner will demonstrate that the plaque was both created and shared with building owners. 3. By the 2nd week of January, Downtown Alliance Foundation banking receipts will show $1200 deposited into their account as a result of individuals or companies sponsoring each of the 8 paintings at $150 each. 4.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

We evaluated these goals by 1) The Minnesota Center Chorale board will assess the amount of knowledge gained through a paper patron survey (containing both quantitative and qualitative questions). At the end of the concert, we will have choir members go around to audience members to ask the questions at a reception following the concert.

We exceeded that with our record enrollment year! 7 conductors and 15 interns collaborated and taught! This was documented through schedules, staff surveys, and the program.

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. We recognize these issues as areas for improvement for next year, and have begun working on solutions to improve in this area, such as better advertising, translating the informational materials into more languages, having a more flexible format for the lessons, and providing more structure at camp for the lessons to take place.

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

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

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

The music is interspersed with narrations of poetry by Minnesota authors. A pre-concert conversation with composers will enhance the concert experience. Two performances will accommodate audience demand for this concert. Concert attendance will grow by 22% over 2014 holiday concert attendance.; Upon completion of this project the outcomes, which will be measured in large part by an audience survey, as well as the number of tickets sold, are expected to reveal the following: 1. Increased audience satisfaction (as compared to the 2014 survey responses) because of the addition of a second performance which will create more seating and better sight lines for the audience. 2. A 22% increase in audience attendance from the 2014 holiday concert's record-breaking attendance (more than 650 patrons), of which 10% are new audience members. 3. A 5% increase in attendance of audience members between the ages of 5 and 64. 4. At least a 10% increase of concert survey responses due to incentives for participation. 5. Audience and Great River Chorale members will gain increased knowledge and understanding of the compositional styles of contemporary Minnesota composers. 6. Great River Chorale members will experience individual and collective artistic growth and satisfaction as a result of preparing and performing the music in this concert. 7. Great River Chorale will add contact information from interested patrons to its mailing and email lists. The success of this concert will be evaluated by audience attendance, the number and type of tickets sold, quantitative and qualitative data collected from a concert survey administered to audiences and performers, and verbal feedback from the same. At each performance of Made In Minnesota: Music of the Season"" the ticket stubs will be collected, counted and sorted to determine attendance and a breakdown of the audience by adults, seniors (age 65 and older), and students. Each concert program will contain an audience survey to collect quantitative and qualitative data from the audience. An example of the concert survey used at Great River Chorale's April 2015 concert is attached. A modified version of the attached survey will be created for the December 2015 concert and will include additional questions about county of residence and ethnicity. A link to an electronic version of the survey will be available on Great River Chorale's website and Facebook page. Respondents who submit a completed survey will be entered in a drawing to win Great River Chorale's 2014 CD ""A Merry Little Christmas."" Performers will also have an opportunity to give feedback about the concert experience. A summary of the data that is collected will be shared with the artistic staff and board of directors and will be used for future planning purposes.""","Specific outcomes achieved as a result of this project include the introduction of music by living Minnesota composers and poetry by living Minnesota poets to audiences and performers who did not previously know these works, the world premieres of two new songs composed for Great River Chorale, and a pre-concert conversation with composer Laura Caviani and poet David Bengtson led by Great River Chorale artistic managing director Mary Kay Geston that explored the origin and inspiration for some of the music and poetry in the concerts. This activity also provided an opportunity for the 30 people in attendance to ask questions and interact with the guest artists. Another outcome of this project is due to advertising in a new radio market (Minnesota Public Radio) in an effort to target an audience interested in classical music. Verbal feedback from several first-time attendees indicated that the MPR advertisements were the single reason they purchased tickets to the concert. Quantitative evaluation of this project was done by counting the number and type of tickets sold, as well as by assessing the manner in which audience members learned about the concerts. Combined ticket sales for both 2015 concerts were 191 seniors, 191 adults, and 42 students, equaling a total of 424 audience members. When buying advance tickets online, purchasers were asked to identify how they learned about the concerts. This data showed that our audience learned about the concerts by (in descending order of frequency) hearing about it from a performer, receiving a seasonal mailer, seeing an online advertisement, reading an article in the Saint Cloud Times, seeing an advertisement in a church newsletter, receiving an email from Great River Chorale, and by word of mouth. Written and verbal feedback from audience members and participating artists provided qualitative feedback and is exemplified in the following comments: ""Wow, your performance yesterday totally exceeded my expectations!"", ""The whole program was so wonderful: seamless transitions between pieces, interesting and varied choice of material, joyous yet professional, too."", ""Thank you for programming and conducting the exceptional Christmas Concerts this weekend."", ""A tenor in our church choir, who is not easily pleased, announced at our rehearsal that his ears were ""happy"" because of the quality of Great River Chorale singing!""",,13673,"Other, local or private",16464,,"Katherine Gardner, Connie Taylor, Dennis Douma, Maureen McCarter, Alex Hennen, Jennifer Pearson Hennen, Mary Geston, Deborah Ferrell",0.00,"Great River Chorale","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Project Grant",,"Made in Minnesota: Music of the Season",2015-12-04,2015-12-06,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Mary Kay",Geston,"Great River Chorale","4310 County Rd 137 PO Box 945","St Cloud",MN,56301,"(320) 515-4472 ",greatriverchorale@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,"Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, Wright, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Morrison, Todd, Douglas, Kandiyohi",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-162,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2 32503,"Project Grant",2016,7000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Through this production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we intend to create and execute a high-quality artistic live performing arts experience; deliver an accessible, fun, and engaging arts event for the entire community; and share Great River Educational Arts Theatre’s core value Honoring the imagination of children.

College of Saint Benedict commonly surveys the audiences of both residency activities and mainstage performances. Following residency activities, College of Saint Benedict gathered feedback from partners to find out if the activities met the intended expectations for each group. Partners sent back narrative responses, which provided meaningful feedback. Survey responses from the District 742 Special Ed teacher: “Yes, (there was an impact) – I think for our kids it made them focus more because it (the activity/performance) was nonverbal. The length of time was good – any longer and our kids start to lose focus. As a staff member, it was enjoyable to watch.” College of Saint Benedict also learned about special cultural considerations that should be made when going back into the schools: one portion of the artist’s improvisation exposed his belly, which is not appropriate in some cultures. College of Saint Benedict has now made a note to ask teachers in advance about any other questions or considerations that might need to be made in the future when working with this population in the future. Hugo and Ines also worked with college students at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University in a workshop, and many theater majors were encouraged to attend the performance at the $10 student ticket rate. One professor at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University wrote: “I encouraged students to go--one class was theater majors who loved it; the second class was an improvisation class who are not theater majors. Those students were absolutely blown away by the performance not only because of the artistry but also because they had never experienced any form of theater other than the ""norm"". At the next class I asked them to discuss the workshop and their experience at the performance. The students all felt quite special that they had the opportunity to work with the performers and loved, LOVED the workshop.” College of Saint Benedict also surveyed the general public who attended the mainstage performance with an online survey, sent via email. 90% of survey respondents noted that the performance was either “Very Good” or “Amazing.” An overwhelming majority of survey respondents also said that Hugo and Ines was fun, had stellar artistry, and changed their perceptions of the genre of puppetry.",,6898,"Other, local or private",13013,,"Mimi Bitzan, Brian Campbell, Sarah Catcher, Hollie Kroehler, David DeBlieck, Louann Dummich, Barry Elert, Paul Hamilton, Laura Hood, Ken Jones, Katie McCarney, Mark McGowan, Rick Odenthal, Sue Palmer, Gustavo Pena, Colleen Hollinger Petters, Simon-Hoa Phan, Chris Rasmussen, Joe Rogers, Steven Bezdichek Pfahning, Arno Shermock, Jerry Wetterling, Katie Ruprecht-Wittrock, Brandyn Woodard",0.00,"College of Saint Benedict AKA College of Saint Benedict Fine Arts Programming","Public College/University","Project Grant",,"Teatro Hugo and Ines performance and residency",2016-03-30,2016-04-30,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Megan,"Vetsch Johnson","College of Saint Benedict AKA College of Saint Benedict Fine Arts Programming","37 College Ave S","St Joseph",MN,56374,"(320) 363-5507 ",mvetschjohnson@csbsju.edu,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Stearns,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-166,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Central Minnesota Arts Board, Leslie LeCuyer (320) 968-4290 ",1 32508,"Project Grant",2016,3203,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","1.

The Copper Street Brass Quintet will engage my students not only in music, but also in activities enhancing their creativity, sequential thinking, self-control, and concentration, among other skills. They use specific pieces of music to facilitate an experience that instills an appreciation of music, runs concurrent to the Minnesota State Academic Standards for music, and advances the school arts curriculum. Specific educational goals for this residency are to: Supplement, not supplant, my existing school music curricula. Increase students’ musical skills (tone production, note-recognition, rhythm, listening, etc.). Provide students with the chance to perform alongside professionals at the capstone performance (increasing self-confidence and motivation, and cultivating community support through excellence and achievement). Create strong leaders within my band program, encouraging excelled and continuing participation in band. Each program component is carefully designed not only to coincide with relevant classroom curriculum but also to be age-appropriate, high energy and engaging, and sequential. The band students here in Rockford range in ability levels from beginners to more advanced young musicians. In each classroom performance, the Copper Street Brass Quintet’s teaching artists tailor their teaching methods and curricula to meet the student at their ability level, thus providing the opportunity for the most efficient student improvement. I am excited that this residency would make possible the quintet to come in and speak to and perform for my students, and not just travel through town for a concert and be gone. My students will build a relationship with the Copper Street Brass Quintet and will benefit from this in-depth, unique, and positive musical instruction beyond what they get in their regular daily music lessons and band class. All elements of the residency will be evaluated. In the context of a residency, there are several indicators that both the Copper Street Brass Quintet and I will monitor. They include: Students who are visually engaged, who ask questions, participate in discussions and volunteer. This is a strong indicator that my students are interacting with the material and processing the information in ways that will be retained. Improved instrumental playing. I will hear my bands play more in tune, play together better, and use proper warm-ups prior to rehearsals. Positive feedback from my students. I will specifically ask my students between activities about what they learned and how those concepts are relevant to their own music-making. A successful capstone performance: the students enjoy a chance to perform, show a focused effort, and produce a polished end product. We will attract a large audience from the community. Student reflection is built into each educational activity by the Copper Street Brass Quintet. For example, in the Copper Street Brass Quintet’s classroom showcases, the group performs a variety of music for the students and also asks them to make thoughtful observations about what they see and hear. Specifically, with junior high and high school bands, the Copper Street Brass Quintet uses a suite of three pieces of music from the famous opera “Carmen” to sequence three clear learning goals. Each movement from the suite is followed by a discussion focused on connecting the observations to the music and concepts the students are studying in band. The first piece encourages careful listening to identify an important element of music - the melody. The students are challenged first to describe what a melody is, and then to follow the melody as it is passed from the trumpet to the trombone during the performance. After the piece concludes, students will identify what instruments performed the melody, why it is important to listen carefully and find the melody, and how those listening skills can improve the sound and balance of their own band. The other two pieces performed from the “Carmen” suite build on the skill of careful listening to incorporate thoughtful observation and discussion of the performer’s body language and ensemble communication and finally more advanced instrumental technique, such as changing the sound to communicate the style of music. In this way, students can enjoy hearing an exciting, professional performance and also grow as musicians themselves. In class: students are participating and improving their musical understanding. After the classes: verbal feedback from the students. After the school day: surveys from school faculty and staff. At the evening concert: surveys from parents and audience. The quintet video and audio records all of their sessions during residencies, and I will follow suit and also set up my video camera and audio recorder as well. This goes for the in-class educational sessions as well as the evening performance. This will provide the opportunity for feedback the day-of as well as after the residency is complete, and will be invaluable both for me and the Copper Street Brass Quintet for my program’s future residency/educational projects and for the quintet’s future programming. The day after the residency, in my music classes, my students and I will watch and listen to the final performance. I will then start a dialogue with my students about what they thought. I will ask questions, aiming for thoughtful and in-depth feedback from them, such as: “What do you observe the Copper Street Brass Quintet doing when they’re performing? Do they look relaxed? Like they’re having fun? Did you perceive them to make mistakes?” “What do you observe us doing when we’re performing? How did our performance go? Aside from notes and rhythms, how did we do? How did we look as a band? Did we look proud to be on stage? Did we seem comfortable? Did you have fun performing?” “How did the audience react to our music versus other concerts we’ve done? Do you think the community enjoyed it?” In addition to the in-class and video/audio described above, the quintet and I will work together to provide a concrete evaluation of the residency in three ways: 1) a record of in-class observations and responses from the students, recorded at the end of each residency day; 2) online exit and paper surveys after the evening performance for the audience in attendance; and 3) online surveys for school faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members upon the residency’s culmination. The most basic evaluation measure is careful planning and communication between myself and the Copper Street Brass Quintet. We will establish baseline goals with at the beginning of the residency and touch base before each activity about progress towards those goals. Notes from all communications are kept in an online database where we can see progress. I have worked with the Copper Street Brass Quintet to develop a simple feedback survey that we will use to measure overall reaction to the project and to solicit ideas for improvement. The survey is available online as a Google form and in print at the concert. The results from these surveys are compiled online by the survey host (Google) and will provide data to aid in our evaluation of the residency and will give me and my band program the tools I need to duplicate, as well as improve upon, certain aspects for future residencies we host here in Rockford.","The outcomes of this residency were to: 1) to provide supplemental, lasting, and meaningful learning opportunities for Rockford students; 2) improved student playing and enhanced leadership skills; 3) to connect the students with an in-depth experience with professionals; and 4) to provide an exceptional and unique experience in the arts for the community members of Rockford, benefitting them positively through a quality arts presentation, resulting in a deeper arts understanding and appreciation. I believe we attained all four of these outcomes. My students still bring up concepts they learned from the Copper Street Brass almost on a daily basis. They don't get this opportunity often at all and giving them this residency has led to a greater interest in band as a whole. Our evaluation piece included four aspects: in class - students are participating and improving their musical understanding, after the classes - verbal feedback from the students, after the school day - surveys from school faculty and staff, and at the evening concert - surveys from parents and audience. The most objective of these was the survey I had my students take after the residency. 100% of the students said they learned multiple things from the residency from how to overcome stage fright and look like a professional on stage to how to create an arrangement and how to stay involved in music past high school.",,2550,"Other, local or private",5000,,"Kris Abrahamson, Todd Anderson, Ted Botten, Lia Hall, Kathy Smith, Chuck Tryon, Paul Durand",0.00,"Rockford Area Schools","K-12 Education","Project Grant",,"Copper Street Brass educational and performance residency",2016-02-29,2016-02-29,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jerald,Ferdig,"Rockford Area Schools","6051 Ash St",Rockford,MN,55373,"(763) 477-9165 ",staff@csbq.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Central Minnesota Arts Board",,Wright,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/project-grant-169,"Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.","Linda Brobeck: visual artist, owner of Crow River North, LLC; Al Hams: Founder of Al's Music, author; Leslie Hanlon: Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Fine Arts Series; Doug Lien: Watercolorist, member of Central Minnesota Watercolorists, Community Education Art Class instructor; George Minerich: photographer, volunteer at local arts center and photography club; Mark Nelson: Music teacher, choral director, community theatre director, Board Member of American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota; Justin Lewandowski: Music advocate, promoter and booking agent, writer, actor.",,2 32512,"Project Grant",2016,7000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education","1.

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.

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).

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.

This growth has lead to increased demands from use of this area, its natural resources and related public land base that need to support this growth. Development of these private industrial parcels has resulted in the loss of Jack Pine barrens in the landscape of southern Cass County. Industrial forest tracts held by Potlatch are currently being sold to private developers. These lands often provide access to existing public lands for resource management, are inholdings in otherwise unfragmented landscapes, create contiguous wildlife corridors, and protect larger blocks of land especially useful for stand level management of habitat. Key industrial forest tracts (i.e. inholdings in large public land tracts, management access issues) are being considered or currently being offered for sale by a large industrial forest owner (Potlatch Corp) in this area. Depressed market conditions and a willingness by this industrial forest owner to sell at this time is an opportunity that should be addressed now since it is narrow and may close at any time. The strategy was to acquire land that completes existing habitat corridors. The land acquired has existing forest access roads that have been used for management access for years. The sale of these lands to private individuals has already resulted in the loss of access for resource management on public lands and conversion from forest to agricultural use.

These easements continue the Phase 2 effort of buffering the Little Nokasippi WMA complex, which is the largest public hunting opportunity adjacent to the Mississippi between Brainerd and Anoka. It includes the largest single owner parcel in the WMA buffering initiative, but also a unique opportunity to protect one parcel that has had only 2 owners in 120 years.

The interagency interdisciplinary project review team ranked these parcels as having the highest habitat value.The landscape within which the projects are located is designated as one of the highest biodiversity landscapes in the state. The designation resulted from an eco-regional planning process through The Nature Conservancy which defined the landscape as the most functional/intact landscape within the Prairie Forest Eco-region. Also unique to the project area is the position within a larger habitat complex that encompasses the Mississippi River Corridor including the Mississippi Flyway and the rugged Eastern Bluff shoreline.

",,"Activity 1 Complete design and all permit requirements for a ""sweeping"" electrical barrier at Lock and Dam 1. The MN DNR believed that the best approach to keep Invasive Carp out of the upper Mississippi River watershed was to close the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock. The lock is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers and required an act of Congress to shut down. Minnesota senators and representatives successfully added an amendment to the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) that called for Upper St. Anthony Falls lock closure within one year of passage of the bill. The bill passed both chambers of the federal legislature and was signed into law by President Obama on June 10, 2014. Lock closure happened June 10, 2015.   Prior to lock closure, the MN DNR initiated an invasive carp deterrent project at Lock and Dam 1 based on the status of carp population at the time and the uncertain political will to close a federal lock.  The DNR contracted with Smith-Root Inc. to design an electrical barrier at Lock and Dam 1.  With the passage of the 2014 WRRDA bill, construction of a Lock and Dam 1 barrier was not necessary. But, due to the timing of passage of the bill, there was no cost savings by terminating the design contract for the electrical barrier. Also, by completing the design, the MN DNR has a better understanding of the costs, potential effectiveness, and safety concerns associated with this technology. The contractor submitted a final design to the DNR in 2014. Activity 2 Complete design, acquire permits, and construct deterrent barriers in Minnesota's portion of the Missouri River watershed. Waters in the southwest corner of Minnesota were vulnerable to Invasive Carp expansion from the Missouri River watershed. MN DNR fisheries identified locations to prevent Invasive carp from entering Minnesota waters and from entering the Mississippi River and Minnesota River tributaries through watershed breaches. • Okabena Creek - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR acquired a flowage easement and removed two road culverts. With these culverts removed, the township gravel road acts as a physical berm to separate the watersheds. • Okabena Creek Barrier: The DNR installed an electric barrier by removing two small culverts and installing a 12 foot by 6 foot electrified culvert. The barrier prevents upstream movement of fish. • Little Sioux River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR worked with the Jackson County Soil and Water Conservation District and a private landowner to build up an earthen dike berm to disconnect the watersheds. • Little Sioux River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: The DNR worked with the Jackson County Highway Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to install a grate system and tile line caps to prevent fish from moving across a watershed boundary via the tile line system. • Minnesota River - Des Moines River Watershed Breach: An earthen plug was installed in a ditch to reestablish watershed disconnection. • Little Sioux River - Rock River Watershed Breach: An earthen plug was installed in a ditch and an outlet structure was modified to reestablish watershed disconnection. • Illinois Lake Protective Barrier: The DNR installed an electric barrier on a WMA downstream of the outlet of Illinois Lake. Activity 3 Develop cost share agreement with State of Iowa to construct barrier at Lower Gar Outlet. A joint powers agreement with Iowa DNR was executed to help share costs on a barrier to prevent Invasive Carp in the Missouri River watershed from entering Minnesota. An electric barrier at the outlet of Lower Gar Lake became fully operational in December 2012. Activity 4 Complete evaluation on feasibility of barriers in the Minnesota River watershed. The Minnesota River is a free flowing system whose watershed covers much of southern Minnesota. The MN DNR contracted with the Water Resource Center at Minnesota State - Mankato on a project to evaluate several Minnesota River aspects including barrier feasibility.  Increasing the understanding of this system aided the DNR in evaluating deterrent barrier potential on the Minnesota River and its tributaries. Additionally, the project provided information on habitat suitability and described the Minnesota/Red River connection.  A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in July 2018. Activity 5 Implement and evaluate deterrent barriers at Lock and Dams. The susceptible portion of the St. Croix River is not conducive to electrical barriers due to the high level of recreational use (safety concerns) and the required cooperation from Wisconsin, which has expressed limited to no interest in constructing a barrier. The best alternative is exploring deterrent technologies in lock(s) below the confluence with the Mississippi River. The MN DNR contracted with the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center to evaluate the potential effectiveness of flow modifications and an existing acoustic deterrent in Mississippi River Lock and Dam 8 to prevent Invasive Carp movement.   A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in March 2019. Activity 6 Complete design, acquire permits and construct deterrent barriers in the Minnesota River watershed. The uncertainty associated with a barrier (effectiveness, timeline, cost, native community impacts, and ability to construct) on the Minnesota River was high.  This was substantiated by the evaluation completed by Minnesota State Mankato (Activity 4).  Given this scenario, DNR Fisheries identified high value aquatic resources that could be protected at locations in tributaries.  Construction of the two electric barriers, Madison/Eagle lakes protective barrier and Elysian/Buffalo lakes protective barrier, were completed in February 2019. Activity 7 Lock and Dam 5 Acoustic Deterrent Feasibility Study Mississippi River Lock and Dam 5 was identified as a potential location for installation of an acoustic barrier to deter upstream movement of Invasive Carp.  Before any potential construction project, the DNR required a feasibility study to estimate the effectiveness, construction costs, and annual operation/maintenance costs.  The MN DNR contracted with the University of Minnesota-Duluth to complete the study.  Study results suggest further development of the technology was needed before deployment at this site.  A final report was submitted to the MN DNR in December 2018.   ",2012-07-01,2019-11-04,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Nick,Frohnauer,DNR,"500 Lafayette Road","St. Paul",MN,55155,651-259-5670,nick.frohnauer@state.mn.us,"Grants/Contracts, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Blue Earth, Cottonwood, Hennepin, Jackson, Waseca",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/protect-aquatic-habitat-asian-carp,,,, 28159,"Protection and Restoration of Water Quality in Minnesota National Parks",2014,1500000,,,,,,,,,,,15,"Minnesota Pollution Control Agency","Local/Regional Government","This will fund a competitive grant program for sewer projects that will help protect or restore the water quality of waters in national parks located within Minnesota.

Development of these private industrial parcels has resulted in the loss of Jack Pine Barrens in the landscape of Cass County. Industrial forest tracts held by Potlatch are currently being sold to private developers. These lands often provide access to existing public lands for resource management, are in-holdings in otherwise unfragmented landscapes, create contiguous wildlife corridors, and protect larger blocks of land especially useful for stand level management of habitat. These key industrial forest tracts (i.e. in-holdings in large public land tracts, management access issues) are being considered or currently being offered for sale by a large industrial forest owner (Potlatch Corp) in this area. Market conditions and a willingness by this industrial forest owner to sell at this time is an opportunity that should be addressed now since it is narrow and may close at any time. The strategy is to acquire land that completes existing habitat corridors. The land acquired has existing forest access roads that have been used for management access for years. The sale of these lands to private individuals has already resulted in the loss of access for resource management on public lands and conversion from forest to agricultural use. The acquired lands were not being pursued for convenience of management. The acquired parcels play a key role in future management plans of the Jack Pine Barrens including the role of fire as a management tool. The loss of these parcels to private ownership would have resulted in lost access and possibly loss of forest land. Management of adjacent public lands would have been limited to frozen ground conditions which eliminates management tools such as site preparation, aerial seeding and prescribed burning for Jack Pine regeneration. This type of management requires year round access to existing public lands in the Jack Pine barrens landscape as well as protecting habitat in and around the surrounding areas. The Cass County Forest Resource Management Plan directs the County to acquire land of this nature whenever possible to protect the management access. The Cass County Comprehensive plan requires no net loss of acres of public land and local unit of government input on all purchases and land sales. This project met the requirements of both plans and required stakeholders input as part of the project. All purchases in this project were supported by both the County and Townships. The 47-027-4100 Unorg PCH 80 acquisition provides management access to adjoining public lands, while protecting a historic access to public land for their use.

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

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

The parcel located east of Lower Rice lake adjacent to HWY 92, which contained remnants of ~ 5 acres of food plots, were planted into a pollinator prairie mix. This prairie planting makes the property compliant with the MN Buffer Law. This east parcel is in the planning stages of an early succession forest manage plan. ","   ","White Earth purchased all parcels from seller and transferred titles into Fee status by the White Earth Land Office.  Land office drafted the appropriate language as to the requirements of the Lessard-Sam’s stipulations for restrictions to be attached to all Warranty Deeds for all parcels. Natural Resource staff conducted a broad habitat evaluation to establish future habitat needs/enhancement opportunities.  White Earth currently plans to keep the parcels in Fee title and continue paying taxes for the foreseeable future.  The easterly parcel that abuts HWY 92 had 4 food plots for hunting, was treated for noxious weeds left prior to sale from a hunting lease. These 4 food plots were then planted to a pollinator prairie mix using a Truax seed drill.  By utilizing a pollinator planting to prevent further weed growth and stabilize the soil, White Earth conserved runoff and potential contamination from eroding into the Wild Rice River on the upstream side of Lower Rice Lake while providing high quality pollinator species habitat.  The remainder of this parcel is dominated by 2 nearly identical aged aspen regeneration was evaluated for an early succession forest plan by NRCS in November of 2017.  Currently, there is a 5 year plan in the approval process.  White Earth Forestry Department has begun assessing and inventorying current forest stands and pine plantations on several parcels.  Lastly, there were several illegal dumpsites scattered across the parcels, of which most were completely picked up in 2017.

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.

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

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

This beautiful piece of equipment belongs to my current landlord. As of right now the Singer is resting in another property my landlord owns, and this spot will be rented out come mid-April. She has requested to sell this machine for $650 before the new tenants move in, for she no longer has any use for it and the new tenants don't want it in their space. This property that will be rented out is next door from my own (about 100 feet) so $50 has been allotted to hire muscle to move the cast iron machine to my home, which is where my studio is. The remaining potion, $150, has been reserved for a tune-up. The Singer needs a leather strap for the treadle, a new needle, bobbin and basic tune-up. I was shown some previous items this machine produced. She's capable of some magnificent work and am eager to put her to good use. The reason for the need to purchase this machine is my preferred living/studio situation. My studio is located in a small cabin that is completely off the grid. I find that by living without the distractions of electronics I am much more prolific in my creative output, however there are hurdles to jump over to ensure that I can meet product deadlines and keep an inventory of the things I produce. Since I cannot run a standard industrial sewing machine, the treadle provides the perfect solution. I have seen some of the items this treadle has produced and know that it will be the perfect companion for the leather goods I already make. To see my inventory grow much faster than just my hand-work can produce would be the ultimate reason for this machine. Not only that but to honor a sustainable way of creating beautiful and artfully done bags would honor the way I have chosen to live the last two years of my life. Beyond this, with the help of the sewing machine, I would love to finally see my items on display in boutiques and to create more of an online presence.","My sewing machine is up and running and at my house!

Approximately 200 volunteers make Julebyen possible. The number of volunteers has grown every year. Attendance is another yardstick of success of Julebyen In 2013, its inaugural years, approximately 700 people attended. This number doubled in 2014 and doubled again in 2015 to 3,000 over Julebyen weekend. We measure outcomes by increase in: (1) attendance (Julebyen has doubled its festival goers yearly since its inaugural in 2013. Estimated attendance in 2015 was 3,000. (2) number of volunteers - 190 in 2015, (3) by increases in commercial sponsors and partners; most recently the North Shore Scenic Railroad donates a train to bring festival-goers from Duluth and return (4) media coverage (in 2015, Norwegian National Broadcasting sent a reporter and videographer from Norway to report on the Knife River Julebyen. The five minute feature that followed was aired to more than 3.5 million Norwegians in news broadcasts (5) in the growth of its outreach program to underserved children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Duluth and Superior. The privately-funded outreach pays the train fares and meal expenses for children to attend Julebyen. In 2015, 39 children with chaperones were able to experience a family-centered Christmas experience at no cost that featured games, craft making workshop where children can make a holiday gift, a treasure hunt, skating, sliding, storytelling. Key to the growth of Julebyen is (1) our ability to attract and retain more volunteers and (2) continued support from outside partners to keep Julebyen free to the public. The support we request is to help cover the cost of entertainment, which has been selected to enhance and tie to the theme of Julebyen.","Attendance increased from an estimated 3,000 in 2015 to estimated 3,500 - 4,500 in 2016. The increase can be attributed to, in part, extending the festival to three days. Train ridership between those traveling to Julebyen and return from Duluth, and two Troll Train trips, increased from 149 riders in 2015 to more than 400 in 2016.

The skills I attained included: -Thermography, the application of resin powders to wet ink which is then heated to enhance the printed material with texture or a gloss or matt finish. -Die cutting on a platen press, which involves setting your press up to use die cuts for creating distinct shapes with printed material. -The operation of a Windmill Press. -Setting up a type project and printing on a variety of small table top presses. In addition to these hands on workshops, there were panels that offered great discussion around how we as artists can support ourselves financially through our art. The opportunity to learn from and share ideas and techniques with other artists was amazing!

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

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

Firstly, the Hip Hop workshops will allow each participant the time, space, mentorship and resources to begin the lifelong process of exploring the edges of their artist identity. Secondly, engaging in the dynamic process of Hip-Hop artistry, participants will realize their ability to affect change in their environments. Thirdly, Hip-Hop is inseparable from knowledge and critical thought, and participants will grow in their curiosity to attain and practice both. Fourthly, participants will come to respect and appreciate a diverse range of honest perspectives, as witnessed in the creative truths expressed by those who share their artistry throughout the month. Finally, with the support of a positive Hip Hop community, participants will grow in their sense of self-esteem. Our first evaluation tool will utilize participant sign-in sheets. Participants must complete a sign-in sheet at both workshops. Additionally, a mandatory sign-up sheet will be provided for youth who want to perform during the Park Jam. Multiple conclusions will be drawn from this data. For one, the number count of participants will measure how well we connected with the interests of the local youth. Secondly, we will observe the overlap of participants who attended the workshops and those who perform at the Park Jam. This will provide us with the percentage of youth who attended the workshops and by the end of the month decide to perform. The number of overlap will reflect the success rate of four of our five learning objectives. In performance, the participant affirms their identity as an artist for both themselves and for those who witness and/or hear about their performance. Secondly, the performing participant will exhibit their realization of self-knowledge and embody the level of knowledge that they have attained in their particular artistic medium. Furthermore, in order to share oneself with members of an audience, the participant must feel a comfortable and confident sense of self. Lastly, during their performance the participant will affirm for him/herself that they affect change in their environment. Success of all five objectives will also be determined by a questionnaire completed by teaching artists after their workshop (attached).","We had a cumulative total of 88 different youth participants who penned their names on the sign-in sheet throughout the course of the four workshops and final Hip-Hop jam. Of these 88 participants, 8 performed short emcee stints during the final Hip-Hop jam. The most frequently mentioned recommendation from the post-workshop teaching artist survey, was the need for more workshops on each element to provide youth participants with more mentored practice and more intentional time to dig deep into each element's particular form of artistry. Looking forward to next year, a more effective format may be to focus the entire month's workshops on one or two elements, so we focus our time and energy with the youth into a deeper exploration of the medium(s).",,680,"Other, local or private",1000,,"Mike Racette, Sara Fitzgerald, Eric Montgomery, Jeanni Stenson, Rick Sundquist, Diane Walkowiak, Kris Ridgewell, Dianne Eider, Pat Anscomb, Erin Maniak, Mark Connor, Jessica Johnson, Anne Rawlins, Jared Walker, Sunny Helbacka",0.00,"Valley Youth Centers of Duluth","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Quick Start Grants",,"Hip-Hop May 2016",2016-05-06,2016-05-27,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Russ,Salgy,"Valley Youth Centers of Duluth","720 Central Ave N",Duluth,MN,55807,"(651) 399-9632 ",ryfranke13@gmail.com,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/quick-start-grants-31,"John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer.","Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.","Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, Robert DeArmond (218) 722-0952 ",1 35434,"Quick Start Grants",2016,313,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access ACHF Cultural Heritage","To work with Couwenberg will intensify the physicality of textile sculpture and enrich my work conceptually and technically considering her expertise in mixed media and unique integration of textile into sculptural form.

I want to engage viewers in new and exciting ways and enhance each viewer’s experience of my concept at the show because of the multi-disciplinary approach. To help me evaluate if I've achieved my goals, I will gather feedback from a couple different groups. I will ask my dancers to respond to several questions at the close of the show about how they saw or experienced pattern through the movement, fabrics and visuals. I would also like to offer a response resource for visitors at the opening. There would be a couple questions and room for independent comments as well. Finally, I will invite several artists that I know to the opening from different disciplines and ask them for their impressions from the show.

This poses challenges to efforts to preserve these species because seed sources for these plants are therefore also becoming fewer. Using this appropriation the Martin County Soil and Water Conservation District aims to help reverse this trend. Through partnerships with local seed growers and nurseries they will collect, propagate, and plant these declining and at-risk, locally-adapted plant species on protected habitat as part of restoration efforts in order to encourage and increase their presence on the landscape. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The project focus was to accelerate the local ecotype seed availability of declining species for use on restoration projects. This project was undertaken in large part because 90 of the 238 species documented so far in Martin County by the Minnesota County Biological Survey of 2009 are considered to be at-risk. Native seeds were collected from 118 species off 33 different sites and we monitored additional prairie remnants. This project protected remaining native populations and expanded populations to new sites, enhancing environmental conditions and improving habitat diversity for wildlife. This project continuously proved to be a great educational opportunity. Each fall, area high school students were taught native plant species and assisted in native seed collection. High school athletic groups also volunteered with native seed collection. Over 250 people have been reached through one-on-one interactions. We have also heard repeatedly from these individuals that once they learn a little about native plant species, they continue to learn more independently and share the knowledge they have gained with others. We also educated landowners and students about identifying and distinguishing between native and invasive species. We have also gained a number of new volunteers. Native seeds were planted on 22 protected sites. Sites that had been previously planted were monitored. Photographs were taken to document both the native stands and progress on the planted areas. A local conservation organization, Fox Lake Conservation League, provided land for plant propagation. From this site, we were able to propagate a variety of species, including Butterfly weed, Prairie phlox, Cream wild indigo, and others. We also monitored the populations of Tuberous Indian plantain, Sullivant's milkweed, Small white lady slipper, Showy milkweed, Prairie bush clover and Eared false foxglove. Two additional Small white lady slipper populations were discovered during this project, bringing the total to three locations in Martin County. Martin SWCD visited and inventoried numerous sites with MCIA to source verify native stands and document populations on sites that will be planted. Overall, this project greatly increased local ecotype native plant materials and increased the knowledge Minnesotans have of their environment. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Information from this project was discussed numerous times during the Martin SWCD weekly radio program. ""Recovery of At-Risk Native Prairie Species"" was written about six times in the county-wide Conservation Update. This project was also discussed repeatedly with area students, local conservation organizations, and other Soil and Water Conservation Districts. First Rite of Spring events were also held where local residents are invited to look at the first Pasque flowers and other early spring plant species. One-on-one interactions with local citizens also proved to be a very effective way to share information learned from this project.

Lake McCarrons is currently unimpaired, though excess phosphorus loading threatens water quality, aquatic health, and recreational use. The VPWS drains 753 acres to the northwest of Lake McCarrons. Despite previous phosphorus load reduction efforts, CRWD monitoring data indicates VPWS continues to export phosphorus to Lake McCarrons. The Villa Park Wetland Management Plan recommendations a two phase approach for reducing phosphorus loading from the Villa Park subwatershed. The first recommended action to dredge the wetland cells was completed by CRWD in September 2013. This project will implement the next phase, to reduce volume and pollutant loading to the wetland through Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as bio-retention basins or infiltration systems. In addition to volume reduction through infiltration, the system will be designed to store and reuse a portion of the runoff to irrigate the softball field. Up to 1.3 million gallons of potable water use will be eliminated by providing a storage tank to satisfy the estimated 4 acre-feet irrigation demand over the growing season. Once the reuse tank is full, excess water will then be directed to the infiltration area, eliminating the need to install real time controls to draw the tank down and provide storage prior to a rain event.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Forrest,Kelley,"Capitol Region WD","1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4","St Paul",MN,55108,651-644-8888,forrest@capitolregionwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Ramsey,,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/reduce-reuse-revitalize-upper-villa-park-volume-reduction-and-stormwater-reuse-project,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 21687,"Redwood County Fair Stage Enhancement and Contracted Writer",2013,7783,"Laws of MN, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 10 ","These amounts are appropriated to the commissioner of agriculture for grants to county agricultural societies to enhance arts access and education and to preserve and promote Minnesota's history and cultural heritage as embodied in its county fairs.

The counties and Soil and Water Conservation District leaders formed the Redwood Cottonwood Rivers Control Area (RCRCA) Joint Powers Board in 1983 to address sedimentation, water quality and quantity, and erosion issues. The purpose of this project is to facilitate individual landowners with the installation of conservation practices within the Redwood and Cottonwood watersheds through planning and technical assistance activities. 50% cost-share funds will be available with the remainder to be paid through federal and landowner match. Implementing groundwater infiltration and phosphorus reducing conservation practices through new funded conservation practices will help achieve reductions necessary to meet goals set forth in local, watershed wide, and Minnesota River basin water plans. This project's anticipated goals are to reduce 3,417 tons of phosphorus and 5,942 tons of sediment reaching the Minnesota River, annually through implementation of ten water and sediment control basins, 9560' of grassed waterways, 2550' of stream bank protection, and six grade stabilization projects.

Deeper than the disuse of vocabulary or grammar, the loss of an indigenous language is destruction of a complex system for ordering the relationships among people and the natural world, for solving social problems, and connecting people to something beyond themselves. ",,,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,"Janice ",Lafloe,"American Indian Family Center","579 Wells Street","Saint Paul",Minnesota,,651-793-3803,Janice_Lafloe@aifc.net,"Assessment/Evaluation, Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Preservation, Research","Minnesota Indian Affairs Council",,,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/resource-directory-and-public-awareness-project,,,, 10007437,"Restoring Public Access: Cataloging Support for the James and Marilynn Alcott Library",2017,9986,,,"Available upon request.

The Stearns County Environmental Services Department (ESD) and Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), through the Comprehensive Water Management Plan, developed a Pollutant Loading Model (PLM) in 2005 for riparian lot development. The PLM determines the amount of sediment and phosphorus discharged from each particular riparian lot into the adjacent lake or river, and also determines the size of Best Management Practice (BMP) needed to mitigate for development. The PLM has calculated pollution inputs and associated BMPs that will mitigate for impervious surface impacts.

It will expand Clean Water Funded easements to provide additional wildlife benefits.","The RIM Buffers for Wildlife and Water - Phase VI funded with OHF will protect and restore 792 acres of riparian buffers on 40 conservation easements without a Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). It will double the size of Clean Water Fund (CWF) easements to provide additional wildlife benefits on areas that are not required by law or rule to have buffers. OHF funded buffers, when linked to CWF buffers, will yield a total of 1,584 acres of buffers. Due to guidance from LSOHC, only the acres (792) and funding ($6.708 million) from OHF have been displayed in the Output Tables. The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and many federal, state and local agencies and non-government organizations have been formulating a 100,000 acre CREP proposal focused on wildlife habitat and water quality. A final draft proposal has been completed and is being reviewed by USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) and state partners. In addition, an Environmental Assessment will be completed in the next few months. Upon final agreement between the State of MN and the United States Dept. of Agriculture, MN conservation agencies and partners will embark on a seven year effort to implement a CREP to benefit wildlife habitat and provide water quality and hydrology benefits in 54 counties. This will be Minnesota's third CREP and the opportunity will be created to enroll and restore 100,000 acres of permanently protected buffers, wetlands and floodplain easements using a combination of the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program. Of the 100,000 acre total, 50,000 acres will be focused on buffers directly associated with this proposal. The CREP will be a total of an estimated $800 million of federal, state and local funding, leveraging up to four federal dollars for every state/local dollar. If the CREP does not come to fruition stand-alone RIM Buffer easements will be secured. Restoration will also occur, when needed. Due to not having a signed CREP agreement at the time of this submittal, leverage has not been included in any of the budget figures and projected acreage outcomes represent a non-CREP stand-alone RIM option. If a CREP agreement is signed later in 2015, acreage totals and number of easements will increase by a maximum of approximately four times, and our request will shift to less easement money (since USDA will pay a majority of the payments to landowners through the CRP) and to more technical assistance, processing and stewardship money since it is estimated that easement numbers will increase dramatically.MN continues to see a net loss of grasslands each year. Expiring CRP is the leading cause of this landscape change. This exodus is being driven by high land and commodity prices, increased pressure for alternative uses, and declining federal budgets for conservation programs. Minnesota's primary strategy to mitigate the loss of CRP is to target expiring contracts for enrollment into Continuous CRP (CCRP) practices (like buffers) and permanent easements for the most beneficial practices (e.g. wetland restoration, grasslands, and buffers). This program is one proven strategy to provide landowners with a sound option to keep targeted conservation on the land when economic incentives favor row crop production. This partnership program establishes permanent buffers that provide both critical water quality improvements and improved wildlife habitat. For example, a buffer of 100' generally serves to protect water quality, while adding an additional 100' greatly enhances nesting opportunities for wildlife. Establishing a minimum of 200' on each side of a stream for a total of 400' plus the natural corridor that already exists creates a block of habitat for nesting birds and a critical link between other permanently protected habitats.Criteria used to evaluate and prioritize buffers funded under this program include: buffers must build upon and leverage a Clean Water Fund Buffer, proximity to other permanently protected habitat, buffers within a designated shallow lake watershed, proximity to lands open to public hunting, plant diversity, overall size, and type of water resource being buffered. A competitive RIM Buffers application process for landowners will be used. The first five phases of this program have created landowner interest that far exceeds available funding. The goal for this new phase will be to increase funding from both LSOHC but also increase match from Clean Water Funding as well as USDA. Wider buffers can provide longer term water quality treatment and provide better habitat. Buffers that are in close proximity to other grasslands also function at a higher level for grassland nesting birds and other wildlife.RIM Buffers program delivery will be supported by Minnesota's Conservation Assistance Acceleration Project (CAAP – formerly the Farm Bill Assistance Partnership) which includes BWSR, USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota DNR, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Prairie Pothole Joint Venture, Pheasants Forever, LCCMR and numerous local partners. Additionally, the RIM program will be delivered through SWCD's and administered by Minnesota BWSR.We propose that the LSOHC fund $6.708M in perpetual state RIM buffer easements that will build equally upon the RIM buffers funded through the Clean Water Fund and/or new USDA programs such as CREP. This creates a unique partnership program to accomplish a single project with enhanced outcomes that could not otherwise be obtained with a single funding source. In the event equal match is not available during the project period, buffer areas for wildlife will be secured with only available OHF funds.

The project targeted wetlands and prairies, two of the three most important habitats used by the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). Of the nearly 1200 known wildlife species in Minnesota, 292 species, or approximately one-fourth, are at risk because they are rare; their populations are declining due to loss of habitat. SGCN in the RIM Wetlands area include the Five-lined Skink, Blanding's Turtle, Two-spotted Skipper, Northern Pintail, American Black Duck, Grasshopper Sparrow, Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and Western Grebe. In addition to the SGCN, the threatened or endangered species nclude the Dakota Skipper and Poweshiek Skipperling. Diverse vegetation, access to a water resource, and protection from pesticides are also important to Minnesota's native pollinator species. BWSR's native vegetation guidelines and pollinator initiative protect native pollinators. Complexes and corridors targeted through RIM Wetlands provide areas that are safe from pesticides and natural passageways for pollinators. Targeted pollinator species include the Monarch Butterfly and solitary bee species including Leafcutter Bees, Mason Bees, and Yellow-faced Bees. Prairie wetlands are important for migratory waterfowl. Although the North American Prairie Pothole region contains only about 10% of the waterfowl nesting habitat on the continent, it produces 70% of all North American waterfowl. The loss of Minnesota?s prairie and wetland habitat has led to the decline of many wildlife and plant species. RIM Wetlands has protected and restored this habitat over many years and continues to do this important work using CREP.","A total of 4,369 acres were affected: 0 Restored, 0 in Fee Title, 4,369 in Easements, 0 in Enhance.",22847200,USDA-FSA,13339300,,,1.65,BWSR,"State Government","Under the CREP partnership with USDA, 71 easements were recorded on a total of 4,365 acres to restore previously drained wetlands and adjacent uplands.

These sites offered limited ecological benefits. Through a combination of a scoring and ranking process and eligibility screening, each application was evaluated, with the applications that provided the greatest habitat and environmental benefits after restoration and protection being selected for funding. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 protected and restored wetlands and adjacent upland area to prairie via the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). The project area consisted of the 54 counties within the CREP area with 4,365 acres of permanently protected and restored wetlands and uplands on 71 easements. These acres provide a healthy and plentiful supply of habitat for fish, game, and wildlife, especially for waterfowl and upland birds. CREP utilizes both a 15-year CRP contract and a permanent RIM easement. RIM Wetlands Phase 7 was a local-state-federal partnership delivered locally by Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and BWSR. In addition, the CREP partnership is possible through collaboration among many local, state and federal partners including the USDA-Farm Service Agency (FSA), USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pheasants Forever (PF), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and over 70 supporting organizations and agencies.

Local staff promote CRP contracts and RIM easements, assist with easement processing and provide key essential technical assistance and project management services. Some highlights of the easements funded through this project include: The largest easement funded in this project, 73-03-20-01 in Stearns County, included 9 wetland basins on over 100 acres and approximately 250 acres of prairie and forest as well as a portion of Kolling Creek. The landowner donated approximately 50 acres to the easement area. Easement 56-01-17-01-W, in Otter Tail, was the first wetland application enrolled in this CREP. The total easement area is 84.6 acres, 25.8 donated by the landowner. The landowners remaining adjacent property (534 acres) are protected via easements with Minnesota Land Trust. The payment rates were consistent throughout this appropriation but CRP annual rental rates fluctuated, so the state's contribution to the overall easement cost varied in reaction to the CRP rate.",,2016-07-01,2023-04-18,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Sharon,Doucette,"Board of Water and Soil Resources","520 Lafayette Road North ","St. Paul",MN,55155,6515392567,sharon.doucette@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Becker, Blue Earth, Carver, Clay, Cottonwood, Dodge, Faribault, Freeborn, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Le Sueur, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Nicollet, Otter Tail, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Sibley, Stearns, Wilkin","Forest Prairie Transition, Prairie Region, Metropolitan - Urbanizing Area, Southeast Forest, Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rim-wetlands-phase-7,,,, 20711,"RIM-WRP Partnership: Phase V",2014,13292600,"ML 2013, Ch. 137, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Subd. 4(a)","$13,390,000 in the first year is to the Board of Soil and Water Resources to acquire permanent conservation easements and restore wetlands and associated upland habitat in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture Wetlands Reserve Program and Ducks Unlimited, including $1,000,000 for an agreement with Ducks Unlimited to provide technical and bioengineering assistance.

",,,,,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","Local/Regional Government","This program is a part of a comprehensive clean water strategy to prevent sediment and nutrients from entering our lakes, rivers, and streams; enhance fish and wildlife habitat; protect groundwater and wetlands. Specifically the Riparian Buffer Easement Program targets creating buffers on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, except wetlands. Through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM) and in partnership with Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private landowners, permanent conservation easements are purchased and buffers established. In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat. Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, conservation easements on riparian lands adjacent to public waters, are purchased. Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish permanent buffers of native vegetation that must be at least 50 feet where possible and no more than 100 feet. Buffer strips of native vegetation will be established on the above easement acres, all of which are adjacent to public waters. The program is targeted to critical CRP acres so these areas would be permanently protected instead of enrolled in short-term easements. These buffers slow and prevent sediment from entering lakes, rivers and streams, reduce hydrologic impacts to surface waters and increase infiltration for groundwater recharge. Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The buffer initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years.

It involved removing two layers of shingles and inspecting the underlying sheathing, making historically accurate repairs where necessary, and re-shingling the school with wooden shingles. The project also included the unexpected replacement of the chimney which had deteriorated to the point that the roofing contractor could not finish the shingle project until the chimney was replaced. The grant money was used to purchased historically accurate red bricks that matched the bricks that were in the attic of the school while the labor of the bricklayer was paid for by the township.  The completed project has ensured that the historic integrity of the school will remain in place for years to come. It also ensures that the interior of the building and its historic contents will remain secure and free from water damage. Overall, the project returned the school to it's original appearance, and it is an excellent historically accurate example of a one room prairie school of the early 1890's.

Using funding provided by this appropriation, we advanced those goals by acquiring fee ownership of key additions to State Forest units, completing conservation easements over private lands with significant biodiversity, and taking on the most difficult initial phase to invasive brush control to restore important bluff prairie and savanna habitat.  Priorities for this program were informed by biodiversity data from the MN Biological Survey (MBS) along with a comprehensive, multi-partner watershed protection plan, the Root River Watershed Landscape Stewardship Plan (LSP). The LSP identified areas where program work would have the most impact for multiple benefits. MBS data identified areas with the greatest significance for biodiversity. From there, local knowledge of TNC and MLT staff, along with our DNR partners guided us to the most important opportunities in the program area.  In this Root River program, MLT strategically concentrated its land protection activities on high priority upland habitats, including bluff prairies, forests, savanna and high quality trout streams. MLT targeted private lands that helped fill gaps in existing protected land framework, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. The Land Trust sought donated easement value in these areas whenever possible but purchased easements that help complete key complexes as necessary. In subsequent grants in Southeast Minnesota, MLT transitioned to a competitive, market-based approach to identifying and securing conservation easements. Opportunities for fee acquisition under this appropriation became limited when the SNA program reversed a previous verbal agreement to accept a large property, the Rollie Tract (now 7 Springs WMA). The SNA program decided after funds had been awarded that the amount of restoration need on the property was not an appropriate fit for their program. The Rollie tract and associated restoration projects have since been completed in partnership with DNR Division of Wildlife using subsequent appropriations from LSOHC. SNA’s decision not to accept new acquisitions left State Forests as the only allowable partner for protection in fee under this appropriation, and it proved difficult to find enough opportunities that met with Division of Forestry’s priorities to utilize the funding leftover from the 7 Springs tract.  Original restoration and enhancement goals included acres that were intended to be acquired during this appropriation, including the 7 Springs Acquisition. When this appropriation was unable to be used on that site, TNC shifted focus away from restoration and towards enhancement projects. Resources were redirected towards much needed enhancement work on bluff prairies threatened by brush and red-cedar encroachment. These habitat types are critical components of the diversity of the region, and are at risk of being overrun by invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle and native red-cedar that have become aggressive in the absence of fire.  These sites were selected based on their positions within larger habitat complexes. TNC prioritized work in areas with several larger bluff prairie sites in proximity to each other with known timber rattlesnake dens, a Species in Greatest Conservation Need. Targeted sites can be maintained as part of a larger habitat complex, with prescribed fire utilized on a landscape scale to manage fire-dependent oak woodlands as well as the prairie and savanna sites. This creates diverse connected habitat that provides the full suite of habitat types used by rare herpetofauna and birds, as well as popular games species like deer and turkey. These connected complexes are also easier to manage at a landscape scale in a disturbance dependent landscape like Southeast MN. In partnership with DNR Forestry, as well as staff from DNR’s non-game program, TNC used a variety of methods to control invading brush and release the native prairie communities. On the most severe sites, contractor or CCM crews cut brush by hand, and burned the slash on site. This is difficult work on steep terrain, and was only conducted during the winter season to minimize the potential for rattlesnake encounters. The difficulty and cost of this work emphasize the need for treating sites before brush encroachment gets too severe, and also to follow up on recently cleared slopes to maximize its effectiveness. Prescribed grazing using goats has proven cost-effective on sites to treat new brush growth, giving grasses and forbs the opportunity to re-colonize areas where thick brush has been removed. On flatter areas, forestry mowers were used to treat undesirable woody vegetation over larger areas to return savanna conditions and facilitate the return of prescribed fire management.

The project will also contribute to water quality improvements in the Roseau River.","Roseau Lake was drained in the early 1900s when the Roseau River was channelized and ditch systems were constructed to increase agricultural production in the watershed. Prior to drainage, Roseau Lake provided excellent fish and waterfowl habitat. After drainage, the lake basin was farmed and produced crops in drier times, but production was unreliable in most years. Over time, local landowners recognized that farming the lake bed would always be tenuous, and thus, large portions of the lake basin became part of the Roseau Lake Wildlife Management Area in the 1960s. Interest in a partial restoration of the lake grew in recent years because the DNR, watershed district, local governments, and citizens recognize that there are opportunities to develop a multipurpose project with significant wildlife habitat and flood damage reduction benefits (see attached citizen's advisory report). Roseau Lake currently fills from overflow from the Roseau River. Habitat benefits for waterfowl are impressive when the basin is flooded. But the benefits are not sustainable because the lake often drains (i.e., via a county ditch) after breeding efforts of waterfowl have been initiated, thus stranding nesting birds. Conversely, flooding after nest initiation can claim many nests in some years. This project will build in the ability to retain water and/or flood the basin at key times of the year to attract more waterfowl and shorebirds and moderate water level fluctuations within the basin to optimize wildlife production. In recognition of changes to the surrounding landscape that drainage for agriculture has caused in local hydrology, the DNR believes that a basin managed with seasonal water will benefit for wildlife while allowing flexibility to deal with ecological problems (e.g., invasive species) that may occur. This seasonal approach to water management is compatible with watershed district management for flood damage reduction. The project has two primary purposes: 1) To improve the quantity and quality of wildlife habitat in and surrounding the Roseau Lake basin area. A key objective of the project is to provide migratory habitat (primarily abundant forage) for waterfowl and shorebirds in spring and fall and to improve the capacity of the basin to produce waterfowl. 2) To use the water storage capacity of the basin to reduce peak flows on the Roseau River downstream of the lake bed by 10% or more compared to current conditions as well as reduce the footprint of the 100-year floodplain. To achieve wildlife habitat objectives, a system of levees and water control structures will be constructed to provide capacity to actively manage water levels in the basin. This infrastructure will allow wildlife managers to manage lake levels seasonally so that food and cover requirements of waterfowl will be met. If easements are purchased with OHF monies, they will be permanent easements that require installation and maintenance of permanent vegetative cover that provides habitat appropriate for the area. These tracts are entirely within the basin, adjacent to existing WMA, and in key locations relative to project infrastructure (e.g., contain a portion of the planned levee for the project). 500 acres of private lands are targeted for acquisition/easement by the watershed district. These acres tend to occur on the periphery of the basin. Fee title acquisition of the parcels cited is desirable, but easements may need to be used if landowners would prefer not to sell their land. If easements are used, they will be flowage easements held by the watershed district. Non-OHF funds will be used for flowage easements.Operation of the project will be governed by a mutually-agreed upon plan between the DNR & watershed district. The plan will specify seasonal water levels that will increase waterfowl and shorebird use of the basin. Spring and fall water levels will be managed to create an abundance of shallow water which provides abundant forage for migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. In addition, shallow water management during summer will enhance the relative value of surrounding grass cover for nesting and provide brood-rearing cover for waterfowl and other waterbirds. Benefits to aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, and aquatic mammals will accrue whenever water is present. Improvements in water quality, hydrologic conditions, and the riparian habitat corridor along the Roseau River will result in better fish habitat.The wildlife benefits of the project will be achieved in a number of ways. First, water level management in the basin will be timed to coincide with life history requirements of waterfowl and shorebirds. For instance, the basin will be flooded with water from the Roseau River during spring and fall migration to provide shallow foraging habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds. Known arrival dates of various species will inform the operation plan of when to flood the basin. Similarly, invertebrate-rich shallow water for waterfowl brood-rearing will be provided adjacent to dense nesting cover during summer. Second, by reducing the flood peak downstream of the project, habitat improvements for plants and animals in the Big Swamp will be achieved. Project infrastructure will also provide the capability to manipulate timing of flood flows on the river to optimize water storage capacity of the basin for flood damage reduction. Currently, Roseau Lake floods early in a given event such that flood storage is unavailable when the flood peak passes through the area. Flood damage reduction benefits will be achieved by altering the timing of water storage in the lake basin so available storage is more effectively used to reduce peak flows downstream. Habitat downstream of the project in the Big Swamp has been degraded due to excessive depths, duration, and frequency of flooding. Thus, a reduction in peak flows downstream provides additional natural resources benefits that include improved hydrologic conditions in the Roseau River which, in turn, will contribute to improved habitat. Rare plant communities in the Big Swamp will also benefit from a reduction in peak flows. Siting of project infrastructure will be guided by water management considerations/constraints as well as the presence of cultural resources and existing wetlands (all of which will require professional services to locate and delineate).",,,,"Outdoor Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Randy,Prachar,"MN Department of Natural Resources","27952 400th St. ",Roseau,MN,56751,"((218)463) 1130-",randy.prachar@state.mn.us,,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Roseau,"Forest Prairie Transition, Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/roseau-lake-rehabilitation,,,, 34216,"Roseau Lake Water Quality Improvement Report",2016,111800,"Laws of MN 2015 1st Special Session Chapter 2, Article 2, Section 7","Accelerated Implementation Grant 2016: Laws of MN 2015 First Special Session Chapter 2, Article 7, Section 7","The purpose of this project is to develop a Roseau Lake Water Quality Improvement Report that will result in development of site specific implementation actions through use of the Prioritize, Targeting, and Measuring Application (PTMApp) and the Drained Wetland Basin Inventory terrain analysis methods.

The forest fires of October 1918 were the worst disasters ever to befall the state, both in lives lost and in property destroyed. The ordeal affected thousands, and the experience left its mark on a whole generation. The fires serve as the County's watershed: for decades afterward people spoke of the past as either before the fires or after the fires. The goal, then, is to create a volume of poetry/prose. County denizens whose ancestors perished in the fires or whose interests inspire them to participate will use stories of fire victims--using archival records and documentation--to create an original piece for the book. Writing workshops will assist participants as they work on their submissions. Artists will provide graphics for the project, which will culminate in a Readers Theater presentation and memorial ceremony open to the public. My own inspiration and enthusiasm for the project, as well as my experience as an editor and writer, will enable me to champion the project and enlist area writers and artists and community members to research and/or compile memories and accounts for the creation of original works on fire victims for the book. Our ability to solicit contributions and the high interest County communities already possess, along with a rich mine of denizens who already write and journal, will fuel the project's success. The participation of the County Seat Theater will provide a venue for the Readers Theater performance and memorial for the Centennial event. Countywide participation and interest in this compelling project will generate sales for the book during the 100th anniversary year and years afterward. An evaluation of the event will be distributed at the time of the event, garnering the community's response to our project.

Opportunities to see live performances are limited in our locale, so audiences are eager to see and hear live performances. The Community Spring Musical is a seasonal highlight for the town and area. In addition, the performers in the musical are able to develop relationships between and among community constituents while also developing and honing their singing, dancing and acting talents. The success of the Spring Community Musical can be measured quantitatively by attendance and qualitatively by the feedback from audience members, in both formal and informal responses. Performers will have an opportunity to reflect on their development as creative artists through verbal and written feedback to directors and the guest presenter. Ely Community Spring Musical directors and cast members, and local performing artists, will have an opportunity to work with a movement expert to enhance their body posture and alignment and learn to incorporate healthy movement in their performances. Cast members will learn new expressive movement through the workshops and in a guided rehearsal with the guest movement teacher. Participants in the workshop sessions will have opportunities for experimenting with and using the techniques from the workshops in sessions and in subsequent rehearsals. Participants will receive verbal feedback and reinforcement of movement techniques during sessions from the presenter (Lightner) and in rehearsals from the directors who will have had some extra training sessions with Lightner. Follow-up verbal and written feedback from the workshops will allow the participants to reflect on their experiences and enable the presenter and the directors to assess the impact of the workshops on the participants.","This spring's musical was an artistic success and exceeded our hopes and aspirations for cast development and ""spectacle"" enhancement, which were the primary focuses of the ARAC grant monies requested. Our Guest Presenter, Babette Lightner, worked with the group on a Thursday evening rehearsal, did a director's workshop on Friday, a group workshop on Saturday morning, solo sessions on Saturday afternoon, and a follow-up group rehearsal on Sunday evening. During all of these sessions, Ms. Lightner continuously provided verbal feedback to the participants and asked for feedback from the participants. The performers themselves could feel the difference in their bodies through freedom of movement and in their voices through ease of production. The Lightner Technique invests in developing self-awareness through a series of guided questions, physical sensations and personal revelations. Measurable outcomes included better dancing, singing and acting because of the workshops, which was noticeable not only to the directors and other cast members, but to the performers themselves. In addition, participants provided feedback via a written form (see attached samples). Based on cast feedback and the written evaluations, the guest presenter was a HUGE success for the cast participants (photos attached). Visually, this was one of the most exciting and creative shows we have ever produced (please see photos), which we couldn't have pulled off without the extra ARAC funding for supplies and stipends. The ""Steampunk"" look of the set and costumes and the use of rear projections in our ""Wheel of Fortune"" was brilliant. Immediate audience remarks and comments for weeks afterwards raved about the set and costumes. Our only disappointment was our attendance numbers and ticket sales were down, and did not even meet projections, which is too bad, because those folks missed a good show.

These are the longer-range outcomes: To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts, to provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists, and to draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry.

The degree of engagement with the public is easily observed by Ely Winter Festival board members who will be in the park throughout the time when the carving is taking place. We will sponsor several group meals that are attended by artists and board members, and we will solicit feedback from artists informally at those events. Additionally, we will evaluate our success by soliciting feedback from other arts organizations (e.g., Northern Lakes Arts Association, Ely ArtWalk), the business community, and the general public. The first board meeting following the completion of the Festival is always open to the public for the express purpose of evaluation. We obtain lodging tax information from the Chamber of Commerce. Because lodging taxes are collected monthly, not weekly, it can be difficult to sort out the impact of the Festival itself, but year-over-year trends indicate a long-range positive impact.","Measurable short-range outcomes: • To maintain or increase artist participation • To engage the public in the artists’ work • To create an atmosphere for collaboration and teamwork • To be family-friendly Longer–range outcomes: • To provide rewarding experiences for audiences and increase appreciation for the arts • To provide participants with opportunities for personal growth as artists • To draw visitors to Ely to strengthen the local winter tourism industry Short-term outcomes were clearly met.

I am always heartened by how much different teams look out for each other; whether it's to borrow a tool, or to help lift heavy snow blocks. The non-competitive atmosphere fosters a seriously creative community.” She went on to say, “I am not only a sculptor, but a mom.

The Internet is a crowded place so we must continue to improve the quality of our writing, directing, acting and sound effects art if we are to earn a larger audience and fulfill our mission for our artists, our audience and our community. Our plan is to use website metrics that measure audience size and reaction to judge the overall quality of our plays. To do this, we will need to equate the quality of our work with how the audience interacts with it. Primarily, we'll be using metrics from our podcast host site Spreaker.com to help us judge how our show is being received. The two main metrics on Spreaker.com are 'Downloads' indicating the number of times our shows have been downloaded, and 'Live Listens' indicating the number of times someone has clicked the 'play' button to listen to one of our shows while visiting our page on the Spreaker.com site. We will chart these two metrics over the year hoping to see growth in both statistics. In addition, we offer memberships to our listeners. We hope to see a 10-percent increase in memberships this year. In addition, we began a program for direct audience support on the crowd funding site Patreon in 2016.

While past semesters have focused on more traditional sacred choral music, this music will give an opportunity to a different type of singer. One long term goal is to encourage lifelong participation in musical ensembles. Many students participate in musical activities during school years, but feel they don't have an opportunity to continue after they graduate. All participants will benefit from the cross-generation effort of producing a concert for all ages. Chorus members and students will learn and practice new vocal techniques required for a different style of music. Dance students will learn another musical style and form of dance. To measure learning and satisfaction, collaborating directors, performers and audience will be surveyed and asked for feedback. Students in the High School choir will also be asked for feedback on their experience. The number and age of musicians and audience will also serve as a measure of Itasca Community Choir's growing reputation for delivering quality choral music. We hope to increase performer and audience under the age of 50 by 20%. To scrutinize the choral techniques and overall performance, at least two written critiques are solicited from respected area directors and musicians. Suggestions from those providing feedback are considered and acted upon by the Board. Director Evans and the board review the concert via the video recording of the concert produced by Itasca Community Television. High School Choir and dancers will also be able to review their performance using the video recording for their own learning opportunities. New for this concert: Ushers will be asked to gauge the age of our audience to determine if our younger chorus is being followed by younger audience as we seek to grow the appreciation for quality choral music. To assess the effectiveness of different mediums (from social media, to word of mouth, or traditional print media), ushers will also be instructed to ask attendees how they heard about the concert. Overall the Board is looking for a positive response no lower than 90%.","Actual Measurable Outcomes 66 singers participated, up from 47 in the spring. Most had not sung with Chorus previously. Approximately 30 percent of the chorus members are under 40. 51 Students from the Deer River Schools Choir participated in the concert 8 students from Pure Energy Dance performed choreographed routines for 2 songs. 329 adults attended the concert, 53 students attended the concert. Because of the type of music performed, a selection of Broadway hits new and old, the number of participants in the Chorus increased, and younger people joined. According to the results of a survey of the Chorus members, 15% of the respondents said they joined this term because of the type of music being performed. Many of the new members are younger. Dance students had the opportunity to dance a choreographed routine accompanying a large group on Stage at the Reif performing Arts Center. This was a new experience for most of them. They had not performed with a choral group, and they had not performed on stage at the Reif in front of a large audience. They did a fantastic job. The dance instructor coached them and rehearsed them on the dance routines in their classes, then they joined the chorus on stage for a dress rehearsal several days before the concert, and again during rehearsal time just before the concert. The dancers added color, movement and visual appeal to the concert.

People love it, and we plan to continue developing it for the benefit of all involved. We will monitor program impact on our artists and community through both formal and informal methods. Within a week following the Art Speaks Exhibit, all staff and clients will meet to discuss successes, challenges, and ideas for improvement or expansion. Program-specific forms already in place, or to be designed, will collect statistical data and financial information to assure we are progressing in an organized, timely and cost-effective manner. To capture information while we have art enthusiasts present, a brief survey will be available for voluntary completion by Exhibit visitors to gather their reactions, impressions, suggestions or requests. This information will be used to enhance our arts program and plan for future expansion.

The participants and guest artists desire to return to the camp in future years is also a success indicator.","String players were pleased to join other musicians and to play challenging music from 1600-2017. Participants enjoyed a variety of activities on beautiful Rainy Lake and surrounding areas. The audience appreciated this year's music which featured Corelli's Concerto Grosso #8 working through 20th and 21st century compositions up to contemporary of an avant garde nature.",,4557,"Other, local or private",8803,,"John Faith, Jane Barthell, Gloria Lindstrom, Kelly Langton-Anton",,"Rainy Lake Community Orchestra","Non-Profit Business/Entity","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Summer String Program",2017-08-13,2017-10-20,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,John,Faith,"Rainy Lake Community Orchestra","3057 County Rd 20","International Falls",MN,56649,"(281) 286-3281 ",johnfaith@midco.net,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Koochiching, St. Louis, Itasca, Beltrami, Lake of the Woods, Hennepin, Ramsey, Stearns, Roseau, Rice, Becker",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-35,"Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Duane Barnhart: watercolor painter, cartoonist; Mary McReynolds: arts administrator at Lyric Center for the Arts; Chris Marcotte: retired social worker, historian, writer; Maria Brown: art instructor and program coordinator at CHOICE, unlimited!; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, former Children's Theatre employee.","Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Moira Villiard: visual artist; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of Music at University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Amber Burns: choreographer, dancer, actor, middle school art teacher; Margaret Holmes: visual artist, poet, former Children's Theatre employee; Tammy Mattonen: visual artist, co-founder of Crescendo Youth Orchestra; Quentin Stille: student liaison, College Music Director at KUMD.",,2 10001385,"Rural Arts and Culture Summit",2017,376,"Laws of Minnesota 2015 Special Session, chapter 2, article 4, section 2, subdivision 3","ACHF Arts Access","Artists and arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization.

Communication and collaboration seemed to be key throughout the conference. It made me realize that there are many things we can do in Tyler. We just need to think bigger, and get more people involved. We have many separate organizations in Tyler that all do their own thing.

To have an artistic interpretation for the public consumption that will likely be the only visual documentation in existence of this significant geological location and sacred place. Coupled with the existing literal, scientific documentation and legend of this non-publicly accessible place. Another outcome to be able to export and reproduce the finished work for the purpose of expanding local, regional, national, and global appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of this important place. To expand public awareness through social media, news stories, and print and electronic media. To track and encourage reproduction for broader public and private acquisition and consumption. To broaden public awareness through public and private K-12 and higher public institutions.","Primary outcome: the design and creation of a historical and culturally sensitive mural for inclusion in an exhibit for the proposed new Hibbing Mine View Building. Secondary outcome: the design and creation of an original work of art to be displayed in the Hibbing Memorial Building and/or the St. Louis County Heritage and Arts Center (the Depot), until such time as the design plan for the new Hibbing Mine View Building is available to exhibit designers. This project shifted from a Hibbing Courthouse mural project, led by former Commissioner Steve Rauker, to a mural and exhibit project designed to reach a wider audience. At this time, it is unknown if the new Mine View Building will be heated year-round. Without this information, the location of the original mural is unknown. If the building is heated throughout the year, and there is sufficient room, the original will be included in an interpretive exhibit. If the building is not temperature controlled, the original mural will find a permanent home in Hibbing and a high resolution duplicate, created by CPL Imaging of Duluth, will be included in the interpretive exhibit. The St. Louis County Historical Society and John Ongaro, St. Louis County's Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, along with Commissioner Michael Jugovich, are responsible for exhibit development, funding and placement. The IRRRB is positioned to fund the exhibit when the safety of the original artwork is assured. The St. Louis County Historical Society's American Indian Advisory Committee, comprised of tribal appointees from Fond du Lac, Grand Portage, and Bois Forte are committed to accurate portrayal of Native American culture and history. An area mining, Cliffs Natural Resources, has granted further access to the Hill of Three Waters as needed for further research or photo documentation. The Hill of Three Waters is visible from the Hibbing Mine View Building, and thousands of future visitors will benefit from the exhibit narrative.

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

Films are played simultaneously in one large screening room and two smaller ones. We face three problems: a) communication, b) low filmmaker participation, and c) awkward transitions between films. Solutions: a) Filmmakers who attend take audience questions following their film. Since our venue has one large screening room and two smaller ones, the audience in the smaller rooms cannot fully participate. We propose to add closed-circuit video among all screening rooms. b) In order to increase the number of filmmakers attending, we propose to offer limited reimbursement for their expenses. c) Our projection equipment relies on outdated DVD technology, resulting in delays between films. We propose to rent available technology so that the audience will experience smooth transitions from one film to the next. We also hope to add a virtual reality experience. The Directors and volunteers of the Free Range Film Festival attend the film screenings and interact with the audience; audience members share comments and reactions which give a measure of the festival's success. We shall be alert to audience approval of interactive audio and video. The number of filmmakers attending has always been modest; we shall record how many more filmmakers attend given the promise of a limited subsidy for their travel expenses. Our technical staff will report on improvement in film transitions; we shall also ask for audience responses to this issue. We hand every audience member a program for the films that are being screened and this year we will include a short evaluation form with the program in order to document and measure our success and to help plan for future years.","We were able to screen 35 films and host 7 filmmakers for the weekend of our festival. We screened an independent VR film in addition to the 35 screened on the large screen. We had 380 attendees to the festival with 28 of those as youth. We were written up in the Duluth News Tribune and featured on all of the local TV news stations. We received glowing reviews from one on one conversations with filmmakers and audience members. The following is a Facebook post by one of our visiting filmmakers: ""Quick wrap-up from this weekend and the Free Range Film Festival: Manlife found itself in a wonderful program of films sitting along short films about a woman who makes dioramas for snails, a man bio-hacking his gut bacteria, and our friends Kate and Jeremy's beautifully gut-wrenching animated short. It was a block of amazing films about people surviving on the fringe of society. The film was well received, and Manlife both looked and sounded beautiful. More films should play in 101-year-old barns. Afterwards the film was followed up with a very thoughtful question and answer session. Just can't say enough about the entire staff of volunteers that help run the Free Range Festival, they certainly go out of their way to make both filmmakers and audiences feel at home. They also send you home with the freshest swag bag! We'd encourage any and every filmmaker to submit to this gem of a festival, and I'd push more festivals to expand the concept of what a film festival can and should be.

They have also invited another male chorus to join them: the Cold Spring Area Maennerchor from Cold Spring, Minnesota, is a 40-member male chorus, also members of the Associated Male Choruses of America.

The Grand Rapids Area Male Chorus will hand out surveys at the spring concert. The audience and performers will be asked to comment on the music choices, including which were their favorites.

Aimed always at rendering the most accurate and artistic interpretation of quality choral music, Itasca Community Chorus solicits written reviews by well-respected college graduate musicians. Performances are taped by Itasca Community Television and reviewed by the director, the chorus, and the Board.

We will rely heavily on audience reactions funneled through the media, i.e. letters to the editor, Facebook comments, and arts reviews on local radio. Surveys will be included in the programs as well as provided to each production/cast member. Based on their responses, we will know which marketing choices were most successful and which ones to disregard in the future. We will also learn, from our audiences, what kinds of programming would be worth developing as well as performance interests for the future. Music Man is a 2 1/2 hour production requiring many scene changes including many drops. We plan to unveil the new fly system with these rented drops. We think the pride of the Reif Project supporters will make this rental expense worth the money. Ticket sales will be a strong indicator of the success of our show as well as the affordability.","We committed to presenting 6 performances of Music Man. Due to severe weather conditions, one show was cancelled. We had projected our ticket sales at $17,500 and exceeded that with a total of $29,400. Total cast/production crew numbered almost 100, total attendance was almost 2000, 25% audience traveled from outside the Grand Rapids area, 17 Reif Dancers participated, marketing included 4 radio stations advertisement packages, 1 TV interview, 1 TV commercial spot running 3-weeks daily, 17 newspapers carrying news releases as well as calendar of events listings , social media outlets posted the event as well as various art and tourist websites, all-over-media canvassed a 60-mile radius, 4 radio interviews, 2-months billboard feature, 300 flyers distributed, all reflecting a note-worthy, positive and successful project.",,30681,"Other, local or private",34931,,"Sharon Marty-Rasmussen, Sam Grigsby, Greg Tuttle, Jennifer Eck, Josh Cagle, Susie Mogan, Rachel Randle, Micha Smith, Jean Goad, Jason Anderson, Stephanie Schroeder",0.00,"Willmar Community Education","K-12 Education","Rural and Community Art Project Grant",,"Meredith Willson's all-time classic, ""The Music Man.""",2016-02-02,2016-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Steve,Brisendine,"Willmar Community Education","1234 Kandiyohi Ave SW",Willmar,MN,56201,"(320) 231-8490 ",brisendines@willmar.k12.mn.us,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota State Arts Board, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council",,"Itasca, Aitkin, Cass, Koochiching, St. Louis",,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/rural-and-community-art-project-grant-18,"Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director North Shore Music Association, writer; Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Cheryl Milder-Kramer: theater professional with County Seat Theater Company; Aureal Williams: painter, retired medical professional; Mary McReynolds: arts advocate, nonprofit arts administrator at the Lyric Center for the Arts; Nancy Miller: interdisciplinary artist; Kathy Dodge: arts advocate, retired director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program.","Erling Ellison: jewelry designer and creator, speech coach and judge, director of Garrison Art Fair; Ken Bloom: Director of Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Janeen Carey: vocalist, retired Hibbing Community College librarian and information media specialist; Kate Fitzgerald: Program Director for North Shore Music Association, writer; David Beard: Assistant Professor of writing studies, University of Minnesota-Duluth; Adam Guggemos: graphic designer, art events promoter; Michelle Ronning: jewelry designer and maker; John Gregor: photographer, art educator, community art advocate; Ann Russ: music performer, community song leader, choir director, workshop leader, past director and founder of North Shore Music Association; Tara Makinen: Executive Director of Itasca Orchestra and Strings, musician; Dana Mattice: Development and Communications Director of The Art Institute Duluth; Moira Villiard: visual artist and student of arts and communication at University of Wisconsin-Superior; Jeanne Doty: Retired Associate Professor of music, University of Minnesota-Duluth, pianist; Candace LaCosse: North House Folk School instructor, leatherwork designer and crafter.",,2 36687,"Rush Creek Headwaters Subwatersheds Assessment",2017,60000,"Laws of Minnesota 2015, First Special Session, Chapter 2, Article 2, Section 7(b) ",,"2 tons of sediment/year and 39 lbs of phosphorus/year","Completed hydroconditioning, ran prioritization tools, and identified priority BMPs and other actions.

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work.

Up until now, conservation efforts in the St. Croix Basin have often been lacking focus and coordination between jurisdictions has been inadequate. Through this appropriation, the St. Croix River Association is establishing and coordinating a partnership effort between local, state, and federal government units and non-profits to develop a joint plan that will identify and prioritize areas for conservation implementation and guide efforts over time to improve overall watershed health in the St. Croix Basin. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTSPortions of the St. Croix River Basin are now on the impaired waters list and rare landscapes, plant, and animal communities are threatened by development pressures. Multi-jurisdictional conservation efforts are complex and often lack focus and coordination in the St. Croix Basin. This project was a means to streamline and focus conservation efforts on areas with the most critical need within the Basin. By linking local, state and federal governmental units, citizen-led non-profits, and design & technical expertise in an effective, well-coordinated partnership, this project set water quality, habitat, and recreational priorities; identified specific management practices in priority locations; and implemented on-the-ground projects to promote land and water stewardship to enhance and protect the very special place the St. Croix River Basin is to live, recreate, and work.

The property is ranked as having Outstanding Biodiversity Significance by the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS). This unique and important habitat was at risk of development and was listed for sale until The Trust for Public Land (TPL) obtained an option to purchase the property. Protection of the La Salle Lake property was the number one priority for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Northwest Region, and had strong support from multiple DNR divisions and interested stakeholders. La Salle Lake is one of the most pristine and deepest lakes in Minnesota. It is 221 acres in size, 213 feet deep, and lush with MCBS ranked ‘Outstanding Quality’ aquatic plant habitat. It is a quality fishery that regularly produces trophy walleye, as well as supporting healthy populations of northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappie, and bluegill sunfish. Prior to protection, however, there was no public access to the lake. The DNR and the County had unsuccessfully attempted to obtain public access to this fishery for a number of years. The property also contains over half a mile of La Salle Creek and key access to its upper stretches. The crystal clear creek originates in Itasca State Park approximately 8 miles to the southwest and meanders north along the narrow floor of a glacial tunnel valley with many seeps and springs, and eventually joins the Mississippi River on the property near a popular canoe landing. Portions of La Salle Creek are a designated trout stream because of high water quality, cold water temperatures, and ability to support coldwater fish species like trout. Little fisheries management work had been done here, however, because of limited access. This project improved public access to the creek and will allow a more intensively managed trout fishery. This land also provides excellent hunting opportunities. Eight and ten point bucks are regularly harvested on the property and ruffed grouse are abundant. The forested uplands and lowlands are characterized by a mixed deciduous-coniferous forest with many fruit and nut-bearing varieties of trees and shrubs. There is also an old-growth northern white cedar forest north of the lake. Rugged terrain sloping steeply to the basin typifies the topography surrounding the lake and the upstream portions of La Salle Creek. Perhaps most importantly, the property serves to connect large parcels of land already in public ownership (Mississippi Headwaters State Forest, Itasca State Park, and county land) guaranteeing wildlife large landscapes in which to roam. Conservation of this land threatened with development greatly helped prevent forest fragmentation and natural resource degradation. With respect to biodiversity, the property is “Outstanding.” Over 90 species of trees and shrubs and more than 140 species of herbaceous plants, including 12 species of orchids, have been surveyed and recorded growing in the area. MCBS has also identified numerous rare, threatened, endangered, and special concern species of plants and animals such as ram’s head lady slipper, hair-like sedge, northern oak fern, two species of caddisfly, and trumpeter swan. The property’s abundant and diverse landscapes also provide quality habitat for gray wolf, least weasel, fisher, river otter, bald eagle, osprey, common loon and many species of woodland warblers. The original landowner required that a substantial portion of the property be acquired in the 2010 tax year. Accordingly, the project was structured in two phases. Phase I was acquired in December 2010 consisting of the 269 acres north of Scenic Byway Highway #9. DNR SNA acquired this property with existing funding and it is open to public hunting. This proposal addressed Phase II, the remaining 721 acres of the property including all of the lake, which needed to close by December 31, 2011. Although DNR plans to manage this property as an integrated resource, some of the portions of the property are more appropriate for different uses than others. There is a small area (less than 100 acres) at the north end of the lake by the highway that has some improvements, such as cabins and an RV campground, which is most appropriately be managed by DNR Parks. (The remaining 621 acres are unimproved). Funding from the Parks and Trails Fund was provided for this park resource area. The East side of the lake contains some of the most environmentally sensitive and rare features most amenable to SNA management. Funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund was provided for this approximately 95 acre area. The West side of the lake has some of the best hunting land and sensitive shoreline and it is for this resource area that funding was sought from L-SOHC. This approximately 528-acre resource area will be managed as WMA/AMA/SNA, although the entire property has been designated as a state recreation area. The appraised fair market value of this highly developable lakeshore property was $10,500 per acre. (There was some additional value is in some of the improvements at the north end of the lake by the highway, but no funding was sought from L-SOHC for these improvements).

",,"Many native fish species migrate from the Red River to tributary streams, such as Sand Hill River, to access quality spawning habitats. This is especially true for Lake Sturgeon, a native species recently re-introduced into the Red River Basin, which make very long migrations to reproduce in riffles and rapids found in high gradient areas. Barriers to fish passage, such as dams, prevent fish from making this seasonal spawning run. The MN Department of Natural Resources in collaboration with federal and local partners has systematically removed and modified more than a dozen fish barriers in the Red River Basin over the past 15 years. Restoring connections from the Red River to these critical habitats helps to re-establish and maintain healthy, robust native fish communities with greater resiliency to invasion by exotic species. Construction for the original fish passage restoration portion of this grant has been completed and costs were well below estimates. All benefits achieved through fish passage were allocated to the Phase 1 (ML2015) portion of the project. The US Army Corps of Engineers administered the fish passage project. Since the original fish passage project was completed using only ML2015 funds, that leverage source was removed from this Accomplishment Plan. Fish passage restored at three additional sites in the Sand Hill River watershed with the unspent funds. The first barrier is the road crossing on Kittleson Creek, a tributary to the Sand Hill River. This culvert is nearly perched and velocities exceed the swimming limits for most species at normal flows. This restoration replaced the culvert with a structure more appropriately sized for the creek and at a lower elevation to accommodate fish passage. The second barrier is a dam on Sand Hill Lake. The dam was removed and replaced with rock arch rapids to allow fish passage upstream into Sand Hill Lake. Both of these crossings are upstream of the dams that were modified for fish passage in 2017. Restoration of fish passage at these two sites expanded the number of restored acres and river miles in the watershed. The third site, removed a bridge and concrete wing walls and abutments over the Sand Hill River, replacing it with a rock riffle for grade control and fish passage. A second component of this project enhanced stream habitat within a channelized segment of the Sand Hill River downstream of the four drop structures. The river channel in this reach was unstable and has down cut significantly, creating a simplified habitat lacking in diverse substrate and depth. Habitat was enhanced by constructing rock riffles in the channel to reduce velocities, increase pool/riffle habitat and provide more diverse substrate. The enhanced habitat is used by many fish species for spawning, juvenile, and year round deep cover.

Analysis of the watershed land use indicates that large impervious sites are typically commercial properties (primarily retail), churches, and schools. The District began assessing church sites for retrofit opportunities in 2013 and will continue this effort in 2014. Church congregations tend to be receptive to partnering with watershed districts. Commercial and school property owners, however, are often harder to access, and can also be harder to motivate into partnerships that result in implementation of stormwater management Best Management Practices (BMPs). This project will assist the District in identifying and assessing school sites for retrofit opportunities that will increase the District's ability to meet stormwater volume and nutrient reduction goals. This project will not only identify promising sites for retrofit BMPs on school sites throughout the District, but involve a series of conversations with school administrators about the potential for partnering on project implementation, now and into the future. An important part of this project involves interaction with both public and private schools to introduce the District and its goals, determine the schools' willingness to partner with the District, identify barriers to installation and maintenance of stormwater BMPs, identify ways to reduce or eliminate barriers, and to generally lay the groundwork for the District to effectively work with schools into the future.",,,2014-03-06,2016-12-31,"Clean Water Fund","In Progress",,,Paige,Ahlborg,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,651-792-7964,paige.ahlborg@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Ramsey, Washington",,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/school-site-assessment-bmp-rettrofit,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",NO 26214,"School Arts Project",2014,1645,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 3"," ACHF Arts Education","Introduce and expose young student to quality theatre and visual art.Pre and post evaluation by students, teachers and chaperones.","Successful arts education project.

This includes landforms, fossil remains, plant and animal communities, rare and endangered species, and other unique biotic or geological features. These sites play an important role in scientific study, public education, and outdoor recreation. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is using this appropriation to conduct restoration activities on approximately 1,800 acres in existing SNAs, to acquire an additional 80 acres to be added to the SNA system, and to increase citizen and student knowledge and skills pertaining to ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation through engagement with SNAs. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The biologically significant 900-acre Badoura Jack Pine Forest SNA was acquired in part through appropriation. Twenty-two conservation easement baseline property reports at 11 SNAs are completed. The SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan has been completed which prioritizes places of ecological importance for protection as SNAs and by partners. Habitat restoration and enhancement actions are increasing the quality of habitat on SNAs through achieving: restoration of about 30 acres at 4 SNAs; woody invasive species control on 610 acres at 19 SNAs, herbaceous invasive species treatment on 487 acres at 33 SNAs, and installation of invasives control bootbrush kiosks at 6 SNAs; about 36 miles of burn breaks at 21 SNAs and completion of 1,190 acres of prescribed burns at 25 SNAs; and site development work (e.g. entry and boundary signs, new gates, and site cleanup) at 35 SNAs. Conservation Corps Minnesota was involved in 51 of these projects. Substantial monitoring was completed of pollinators at 10 SNAs, of snakes at 1 SNA, and of native plant communities at 2 SNAs. The public's and youth involvement in SNAs and their knowledge and skills about biodiversity conservation has significantly increased through the SNA Outreach Initiative started through this appropriation. About 188 SNA events were held with 2,745 participants and 124 volunteer site stewards have committed to help care for SNAs. A broad range of communications tools have engaged people in sharing information about SNAs. Electronic communications achievements include: a new quarterly electronic newsletter with over 2600 subscribers and a significantly improved new SNA webpage. Print communications created and distributed include: a statewide map with location and directions to SNAs, a new North Shore SNA guide, 3 series of pocket cards, and site-specific factsheets. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION Dissemination is primarily achieved through the upgraded SNA webpage on the DNR website: http://www.mndnr.gov/snas. The SNA Strategic Land Protection Plan is also disseminated through this website: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/sna/plan.html. All volunteer events are listed at the webpage.

In the Prairie Section of Minnesota, 90% of our prairie wetlands have been drained and most native prairie uplands lost to agriculture. The wetland basins that remain are often large, deep wetlands and shallow lakes that now receive heavy runoff and drainage from the intensively cultivated landscape that surrounds them. Some of our remaining wetland and shallow lake basins are surrounded in whole or part by state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) or federal Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA), while others exist in on private land nearby, sometimes in a partially-drained condition. Landscape drainage, intensive cultivation of the prairie landscape, and invasive fish such as carp has degraded these remaining wetlands and shallow lakes into turbid waters which provide only limited habitat benefit to migrating and brood-rearing waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife, and poor outdoor recreational opportunities for Minnesota duck hunters. To remedy in-basin nutrient cycling that leads to turbidity and degraded waterfowl habitat conditions, DU partners with Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service managers to enhance, restore, and actively manage shallow lakes and wetlands through temporary water level draw-downs to consolidate sediments and nutrients, reduce and remove invasive fish, improve water clarity, and enhance the aquatic ecology in some shallow lake and large wetland basins under their control. DU actively supports these efforts by providing bio-engineering technical assistance and delivering water control structures through other OHF appropriations. However, as agriculture intensifies and pressures to convert idle land into row-crop production and other purposes grow, restoring land around these public lands containing wetlands and shallow lakes is also desperately needed to help buffer them, restore their watersheds, improve prairie-wetland habitat complexes, and meet the goals of Minnesota's Prairie Conservation Plan. This program strives to buffer our remaining shallow lakes and wetlands on public land by acquiring and restoring lands immediately surrounding them. Some private land adjacent to our state WMAs containing remaining wetlands and shallow lakes include patches of native prairie or are restored cropland enrolled in the USDA’s short-term Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), but remain vulnerable to conversion back to agriculture due to rising row-crop and land prices, and need permanent protection. Other private lands are intensively cultivated right up to the edge of shallow lakes and wetlands, or to the edge of state WMAs containing such basins, and need to be restored and permanently protected. While some of these lands can be restored and protected thru the state or federal conservation easement programs, many other parcels come on the market for sale and must be acquired in fee-title in order to restore and protect them in perpetuity. This Phase 3 of Ducks Unlimited's facilitative public land acquisition and restoration program focused on acquiring and restoring land adjoining state WMAs with shallow lakes and wetlands. Acquisition of these lands are for state public land ownership and management to further buffer WMAs with wetland basins and to create or improve the size of wetland complexes, restore and preserve prairie uplands and small wetlands around shallow lakes and WMAs, and make new shallow lake enhancement and wetland restoration projects possible. Through this Phase 3 grant portion of our program, DU acquired (and restored where necessary) 11 parcels of land totaling 567 acres in seven different counties within the southern Prairie Section. These parcels included 135 acres of wetlands and 432 acres of upland habitat. This total of 567 acres acquired surpassed our projected goal for this grant of 400 acres, and thus this Phase 3 of our prairie land protection program was highly successful. All lands acquired have been transferred to the state of Minnesota for inclusion in state Wildlife Management Areas managed by the Minnesota DNR for wildlife management purposes, and are open to the public for outdoor recreational opportunities.",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Jon,Schneider,"Ducks Unlimited","311 East Lake Geneva Road ",Alexandria,MN,56308,"(320) 762-9916",jschneider@ducks.org,"Land Acquisition, Restoration/Enhancement","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,"Big Stone, Blue Earth, Freeborn, Le Sueur, Martin, Meeker, Nicollet","Prairie Region",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/shallow-lake-wetland-protection-program-phase-iii,,,, 35034,"Shallow Lake and Wetland Protection Program - Phase IV",2016,8958800,"ML 2015, First Sp.

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

",,"Ducks Unlimited (DU) worked with willing seller private landowners who had previously expressed interest in selling adjacent or very near existing state Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) to the Minnesota DNR.  Once we directly confirmed the interest of the private landowner in receiving a purchase offer, DU hired private consultant surveyors and appraisers to conduct legal land surveys and appraisals of the land, and made offers to private landowners.  Most of these parcels were known by DU and Minnesota DNR in advance of the appropriation, and thus DU moved very quickly.  After this ML2016 OHF grant was appropriated, DU closed five acquisitions in fall 2016 and the remaining three acquisitions in 2017.  In total, eight parcels totaling 824 acres were acquired by DU, far exceeding our grant goal of 600 acres.  As each of these eight parcels were largely cropland, with the exception of the 40-acre parcel on Altona WMA in Lincoln County which was intact wetland and native prairie grassland, significant restoration was required which took DU through June 2021 to fully complete.  DU biologists and engineers worked together with Minnesota DNR area wildlife managers to plan and implement restorations.  DU engineers surveyed and designed wetland restorations, and hired private earthmoving construction firms (following state procurement procedures) to disrupt drainage ditches and subsurface drain tile, remove sediment, and install water control structures where needed.  To restore upland areas back to native prairie grasslands, DU relied on the expertise of Minnesota DNR wildlife managers and prairie ecologists to select plant species seeds, which were installed by either Minnesota DNR field staff or by private restoration contractors using either native grass seed drills or broadcast seed spreaders, depending on the time of year and preference of the Minnesota DNR manager.  Except for some native grass and forb seeding, all restoration work was done by private contractors.  DU used the state OHF expenditures for land acquisitions to leverage over $200,000 in federal North American Wetlands Conservation Act grant funds to help pay for restoration costs.  All lands acquired by DU were subsequently transferred to the Minnesota DNR after a one-to-two year hold time, during which DU pay local county taxes due.  All lands have been open for public use since acquisition by DU, and have been incorporated in the the state WMA system for long-term management by the Minnesota DNR and public use.

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

","The Shell Rock River Watershed District (SRRWD) covers 246 square miles inside Freeborn County and includes a complex system of wetlands, streams, and shallow lakes that drain into the Shell Rock River. Among the District’s 11 lakes are Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, which are located in the core of Freeborn County. These lakes are important to residents for recreation and vital to Albert Lea’s tourism economy and identity.   ","With The Phase 5 Habitat Restoration Program the District completed 3 acquisitions along with wetland restorations and vegetation enhancements. For each of the land acquisitions the process starts the same, the District works with a willing landowner and enters into an option to purchase the property. Once the Option is signed, the District completes a survey and an appraisal of the property. The District then negotiates with the landowner an acceptable offer and executes the purchase agreement and completes final closing requirements. Property acquisitions include the Owens, Schroeder and Mud Lake Property. The Owens acquisition was 45 acres of agricultural ground that was purchased and now includes 2 wetland ponds of 25 acres with the remaining ground planted into native upland prairie mix. The property will be donated to the DNR and will be joined into the Upper Twin Lake WMA. The Mud Lake Property was 23 acres in size and will be permanently protecting mesic hardwood forests and wetlands. This property will be adding to the adjoining Magaksica WMA that is expanding current habitat corridors. The final acquisition is the Schroeder acquisition at 22 acres in size. This property was in agricultural row crop production and included a portion of untouched meandering stream. This property now has been planted into natives and is protecting that meandering stream and the mesic hardwoods that surrounds the stream. Further restoration of the side for wetland restoration is planned in future funding efforts. Following restoration and enhancement projects include the Miller Wetland, Wedge Creek Reach 1 Vegetative restoration and the Pickerel Lake Site #12 Channel Restoration. The Miller wetland project partnered with the USFWS in which $461,000 in federal match was added to the grant as a result of their Iowa, Chicago & Eastern WPA acquisition dollars. This wetland restoration turned agricultural ground into upland plantings and wetlands by disabling field tile and completing wetland scrapes. The project came in under bid, and that is why we have additional funds to return to the OHF. This project expands current restored parcels and will benefit waterfowl, pollinators and songbirds. For the Wedge Creek Reach #1 vegetative restoration the District, following procurement procedures, hired a contractor to remove invasive species and complete controlled burns on the site. This allows native plants to thrive in its place and impacts habitat along public waters. The Pickerel Lake Channel Restoration Project improves the breeding success of native populations by reconnecting historic spawning grounds upstream of Pickerel Lake.

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

Yet, county, watershed, and other state, tribal, and local agencies charged with enforcement and permit review often work in silos and infrequently coordinate with each other or share information. This leads to higher enforcement costs, conflicts between agencies, redundancy of inspections, property owner frustration, and reinforces negative stereotypes of regulatory agencies. The SSMAP seeks to break down barriers to communication and improve the regulatory process by creating an on-line, multi-agency permit application and data management program that is linked to property records and which simultaneously sends permit applications and notifications to the appropriate agencies and organizations. The SSMAP will automatically populates permit databases and updates property records. It can be routinely updated to provide links to the local SCWD and other sites that offer cost share, technical assistance, or design recommendations. Applicants will only need to fill out a single application which will be automatically routed to the County, watershed district, and SWCD.

The SSMAP allows property owners and contractors to apply and receive permits on-line -saving them time and money.

They are also a safety factor in that our gallery manager will only have to climb on a ladder and change lights every 6 years! (2) LED Lights are less expensive to operate. The Alliance will save 5% on electrical costs once they are installed. (3) LED lights provide the best natural light for viewing exhibits. Our Artists are looking forward to this museum quality light, and the Alliance expects that the number of exhibitors will increase by 5%. (4) The quality of light will also be an inducement for attracting quality traveling exhibits. The Alliance expects to schedule one traveling show each year. (5) The Alliance expects that an increase in both exhibitors and traveling exhibits will increase the number of people who visit the gallery. Daily attendance is tracked by the gallery manager.While the board of directors and the gallery committee meet monthly and may make adjustments to the programs and events, they, along with staff, evaluate all aspects of the operation in the spring prior to approving the programs, goals, and budget for the forthcoming year. During the year and before submitting a grant application to Central Minnesota Arts Board, the grant writer reviews prior applicable grant requests to ascertain if stated outcomes were achieved.","Energy and financial savings for the Gallery and Gift Shop: LED lights statistically use 75% less electricity, last 7500 hours which is approximately 25 times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. Because these lights were installed in a new building/gallery, we are unable to do a cost comparison from previous year's electrical costs, but we haven't had to change any light bulbs yet. We have heard many compliments from artists and visitors on the nice lighting especially on cloudy days and in the shorter days of winter when we rely on the lights to see gallery and gift shop art pieces. An anticipated outcome that was stated in the original grant request was that we would increase our artists/exhibitors over the previous year due to the museum quality lighting. Our artist numbers this year over last are: Fiscal Year 2014: 227 adults, 90 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 198. Also, we have seen an increase in visitors to the Gallery and Gift Shop: Fiscal Year 2014: 5453 adults, 455 youth; Fiscal Year 2013: 2660 adults, 259 Youth.

Included as standard are frost, prism, and an assortment of LithoPatterns Art Glass. In real language, the lights will flash, rotate, circle, change color and provide shape and pattern on the stage. These types of instruments are used in all Broadway touring shows and in rock concerts to provide moving light. As a community theatre success is surprising our audiences with fantastic art. Intelligent/moving lights will allow GREAT to grow our skills and provide permanent moving instruments for all our shows on all our stages we utilize in 7W.Great River Educational Arts Theatre is always utilizing methods 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 ensure Great River Educational Arts Theatre’s excellence. This season we have been growing our participation opportunities for actors, volunteers, and patrons. We strive each day to serve our mission statement: “Great River Educational Arts Theatre creates meaningful experiences for artists and audiences of all ages.” We estimate an increase in quality of technical production will be the result of this purchase. There will also be an increase in light designer fulfillment as they will be able to utilize this intelligent lighting as part of their design. Overall it will also provide another tool for creative directors to utilize when creating their production for Great River Educational Arts Theatre.","GREAT Theatre has several measurable outcomes that will be achieved with this capital purchase. The most important outcome is increased quality of our productions. The purchase of four Technobeam Light Instruments will allow GREAT to create artistically stronger productions with higher quality lighting. This is our first purchase of what is called Intelligent or Moving Lighting that we have had the limited opportunity to rent in the past. Technobeam's feature an efficient Philips MSD 250-2 metal halide arc lamp source. The luminaire's remote focus provides razor sharp beam or image projection at various trim heights and throw distances.

A final outcome is that, starting with 2014-2015 season, we will possibly be able to attract larger name touring dance companies who require a padded, high quality dance floor before they will consider performing in a venue.

The interviewers for this project are Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, author of ""Somalis in Minnesota,"" published in 2012 by MNHS Press, and Ibrahim Hirsi, a journalist for MinnPost. Yusuf completed 24 interviews in FY14 and FY15 with men and women representing a broad cross-section of the Somali community in the Twin Cities, including a Somali language expert, a chef, a librarian, healthcare professionals, politicians, academics, journalists, and community activists. In August 2014, Hirsi began conducting interviews with Somalis in outstate and suburban Minnesota. He completed 20 interviews with individuals in Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, Fargo-Moorhead, Owatonna, Rosemount, Shakopee, and Eden Prairie. Additional interviews with women who have made a significant impact on the Minnesota Somali community are currently in the planning stage for FY16. When complete, the interviews will be published as books for the MNHS library and education departments for use as primary sources. The interviews will also be added to the MNHS online collection of oral histories (http://collections.mnhs.org/voicesofmn/), and as material on the ""Becoming Minnesotan"" site (http://education.mnhs.org/immigration/), which uses oral history excerpts to help educate students on immigration.

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

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

On June 19, 2017, The Trust for Public Land (TPL) acquired and conveyed a former 833-acre Girl Scout camp to the Minnesota DNR to create the new Yucatan Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Fillmore and Houston Counties. Located in the Richard J. Dorer Memorial State Forest in Southeast Minnesota, the Yucatan WMA is predominantly forested with oaks, cherry and other hardwood species. It contains majestic bluffs with stunning panoramic views of the Root River, one of the best trout streams in the Midwest. In addition, the new WMA includes the literal headwaters of a small spring-fed stream that is teeming with native brook trout. Several rare species call the land home, including timber rattlesnakes and a rare plantain. Yucatan WMA will provide outstanding public recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking and wildlife observation in an area with relatively little public land. This successful acquisition used $2,255,200 of the Southeast Minnesota Protection and Restoration Phase IV acquisition funds. On December 13th, 2018, TPL acquired and conveyed approximately 340 acres to the Minnesota DNR as an addition to Choice WMA in Fillmore County. This land contains bluffs with beautiful views of the Root River Valley. It also contains the headwaters of a small spring-fed stream with a healthy population of native brook trout. Many animal species call the land home, including deer and turkey, providing excellent public hunting opportunities. This acquisition used the remaining $489,901 of the ML16 Southeast Minnesota Protection and Restoration Phase IV acquisition funds in addition to $331,099 of the ML17 Southeast Minnesota Protection and Restoration Phase V acquisition funds. This project also leveraged $500,000 in DNR RIM funds. We have accomplished and exceeded the stated outcomes of this program. In the Spring of 2019, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) closed on 409 acres of the 885-acre Schueler Wildlife Management Area acquisition, including 1 mile of trout stream. The portion of the property acquired with this appropriation has approximately 18 acres of bluff prairie overlooking the Rush Creek valley and 276 acres of hardwood forest; nearly 115 acres of pasture and a farmstead that has been cleaned up is being restored to habitat. TNC used private funds to restore a portion of an oxbow wetland on the property near Rush Creek that provides new wetland habitat. The successful acquisition of this property is the result of TNC maintaining contact with a large landowner along Rush Creek since 2007, when it was identified as a top 10 protection priority in the region. TNC used goat grazing to enhance bluff prairie and oak savanna on 35 acres in Whitewater WMA and 6 acres on Rush Creek Woods WMA. Using goats on bluff prairie and oak savannas in Southeast Minnesota has proven to be a cost-effective means to prepare sites for prescribed fire and allow for a regular fire return interval. The Minnesota Land Trust (MLT) completed 4 conservation easements protecting 451 acres of forest and prairie, and16,473 feet of shoreland along streams. Each project is described in brief below; project summary sheets with more extensive descriptions, maps and photos have also been uploaded into the final report: 1. Bear Creek (Erding) – Located along Bear Creek in Fillmore County, this 81-acre property lies within an MBS Site of Moderate Biodiversity Significance, and protects forested blufflands, canyon-like ravines, and one mile of shorelines along a tributary to Bear Creek. 2. Frontenac State Park (Jones Trust) – This scenic 164-acre property lies on a terrace of the Mississippi River adjacent to Frontenac State Park in Goodhue County. Composed principally of agricultural field, the landowner donated the conservation easement valued at $696,400. Subsequent to the donation, the Land Trust restored the ag lands to native prairie through a CPL grant. 3. South Fork Root River (Dahl Creek Farms, LLLP) – Situated on the edge of Irish Ridge above the South Fork Root River in Houston and Fillmore Counties, this 415-acre property is dominated by forested bluffs that descend over 400 feet in elevation to the floodplain below. The conservation easement protects 1.73 miles of shoreline along the South Fork Root River and its tributaries. 4. Wiscoy Valley (Mueller) – Located in Winona County, this 164-acre conservation easement protects mixed hardwood forest and over 3,800 feet of shoreline along a tributary to Money Creek, a state-designated trout stream.

Through the Wakefield Lake TMDL process, implementation activities have been identified which include partnerships with the City of Maplewood to install BMPs in the watershed to directly benefit Wakefield Lake. RWMWD has researched, monitored and field tested the use of spent lime for stormwater quality treatment. Spent lime consists of calcium and carbonate and is a byproduct of the drinking water treatment process that has properties that allow it to bind with dissolved phosphorus. When water containing dissolved phosphorus contacts the lime material, calcium from the lime binds with the phosphorus and forms calcium phosphate which is a solid material and does not dissolve in the storm water, thus remaining within the treatment system. Although this is still an emerging concept, three years of monitoring a test spent lime system has shown promising results for the removal of both total and dissolved phosphorus. Total phosphorus removal through the system is approximately 60% and total dissolved phosphorus removal is approximately 70%. With the help of this grant source, RWMWD hopes to install a full scale spent lime filtration system on a City of Maplewood owned lot just upstream of Wakefield Lake at the southwest corner of Frost Avenue and Kennard Street to treat stormwater flow before it reaches the lake. This treatment system will achieve nearly 50% of the needed phosphorus external load reductions to Wakefield Lake as identified in the TMDL. This is great news not only for the very popular Wakefield Lake and the visitors to the adjacent park system but also to its big brother, Lake Phalen, to which Wakefield Lake drains before it heads to the Mississippi River.",,,2016-01-22,2018-12-31,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,Tina,Carstens,"Ramsey-Washington Metro WD",,,,,612-735-2751,tina@rwmwd.org,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,Ramsey,,"Mississippi River - Twin Cities",http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/spent-lime-treatment-system-wakefield-lake,"See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html","See http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/index.html and http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/aboutbwsr/boarddirectory.pdf","Nicole Clapp",No 10007446,"Sperry House National Register Evaluation",2017,6782,,,"Available upon request.

",,"Working in collaboration with conservation partners, local government units, and ecological and wildlife professionals throughout the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Forestry staff identified strategic opportunities for acquiring priority additions to our State Forest system.  Parcels were selected from area land asset management plans, with priority given to those that improved public access to state lands, consolidated fragmented ownership boundaries, and provided protection of critical forest habitats. In this third phase of the State Forest Acquisition project, we were able to successfully meet all our intended objectives of protecting 340 acres of high quality forested habitat, using only 80% of requested funds.  In total four new State Forest additions were completed, providing a variety of benefits as described in breif below: Watopa 1, Wabasha Co. – Protected 182 acres of high quality upland hardwood forest and vulnerable dry bedrock bluff prairie adjacent to existing state forest lands in the Snake Creek Unit of the Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest.  Acquisition of this parcel protects an important tributary critical to maintaining water quality from adjacent agricultural lands before emptying one mile downstream into Snake Creek, a designated trout stream. Savanna 1, Aitkin Co. – Acquired a high priority 80 acre inholding in the Savanna State Forest that had been completely surrounded by existing state lands.  Management boundaries were reduced by almost 8,000 feet, greatly improving our ability to manage these lands cost effectively, preventing future development fragmentation, and enhancing wildlife habitat continuity.  Crooked Creek 1, Houston Co. – Protection of these 37 acres allows for the restoration of 1,400 feet of sensitive shoreline along Crooked Creek trout stream just above where it enters into the Mississippi River.  Land had been heavily grazed pasture, and is being actively restored to native hardwood bottomland forests.  Protection and restoration of this previously degraded site will significantly reduce runoff erosion, improve water quality, and enhance critical riparian and riverine wildlife habitat along an important corridor adjacent to the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.  In addition this acquisition provides better public and management access to adjacent state forest lands, allowing for more hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities. Steamboat 1, Hubbard Co. - Acquisition of this critical 40 acre inholding in the Paul Bunyan State Forest significantly reduces management boundaries by over 5,000 feet, greatly reducing management costs and fragmentation.  This parcel was being divested by a large forest industry landholder (Potlatch), and was at risk of deforestation due to potential private acquisition and subsequent development to other land uses.  Protection of this tract ensures it will remain permanently forested, improving the overall habitat value of the landscape by providing for large, continuous intact native forest communities.

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

This material will require a higher standard of research, care and preservation. In addition, MNHS staff visited elders and professional staff at two tribal communities in the state explicitly to discuss culturally sensitive material. In FY 15, MNHS received a formal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act claim to repatriate approximately 36 items. The claim was approved and repatriation is expected to be completed by the end of the fiscal year. In FYs 14 and 15, MNHS staff continued to increase physical access to collections. FY 14 highlights in this area included working closely with students from the Sisseton Wahpeton College in South Dakota, the Nebraska Indian College from Santee Nebraska and high school students from the Prairie Island Indian Community for the study of Dakota material culture.

However, monitoring data held by each program that could be used by others to better manage streams is located in multiple places that are not easily accessible from outside the agency or program that collected the data, making it difficult to know what data is available and how to access it. A common format and means for information sharing that serves multiple programs will help to ensure more efficient and effective use of stream data by making information readily available to more potential users.",,2011-07-01,2016-06-30,"Clean Water Fund",Completed,,,"Brian ",Nerbonne,"Minnesota Department of Natural Resrouces","500 Lafayette Road","Saint Paul",MN,55155,"(651) 259-5205",brian.nerbonne@state.mn.us,"Assessment/Evaluation, Digitization/Online Information Access","Minnesota Department of Natural Resources",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/stream-monitoring-database,,,, 3623,"Stream Flow Monitoring",2024,2550000,"M.L. 2023, Ch. 40, Article 2, Section 5(a)","$2,550,000 the first year and $2,550,000 the second year are for streamflow monitoring.

Precision, efficacy, and cost efficiency of numerous types of natural resource management activities can be greatly enhanced by use of this data. Potential users include natural resource professionals at all levels of government and in the private sector. However, most potential users have not yet had experience using this type of data because it's a relatively new technology. Through this appropriation the University of Minnesota's Water Resources Center is developing and implementing a training program that will enable natural resource professionals throughout the state to effectively employ this data in a variety of different applications in natural resource evaluation, management, and protection. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS The State of Minnesota, in 2013, completed acquisition of high resolution digital elevation data using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Full use of the data can greatly enhance natural resource management and protection, however, most natural resource managers did not have experience using this very dense data or its applications.The goal of the project was to enable natural resource managers with GIS skills to effectively use LiDAR data in restoring, protecting, and managing natural resources.The methods used were to develop six teaching modules focused on major application areas, deliver the modules as hands-on workshops in computer laboratories around the state, and then enhance the modules for web-based self-learning. An additional set of four webinars was delivered, recorded, and posted to the web to supplement the workshop modules. An on-line user Forum was established to provide answers to questions about using LiDAR data and its applications.The module subjects are Basics of LiDAR, Terrain Analysis, Hydrology Applications, Engineering Applications, Wetland Mapping, and Forestry Applications. The on-line materials for the modules include lectures and exercises in Powerpoint slide, text, and video formats.The module workshops were delivered in 34 sessions at eight locations across the state, with a total attendance of 558, (226 individuals in one or more modules).Post-workshop surveys enabled workshop presenters to make adjustments to the workshop materials and presentations as the workshops progressed.The webinars addressed the use of hydrology tools recently developed in Minnesota, hydrology applications in the Red River Basin, and LiDAR for non-technical managers and staff. Total webinar participation was 437.The user Forum currently has 24 topic areas and 121 posts answering questions from technicians employing LiDAR data.Post-workshop surveys indicated that participants increased field work efficiency and area covered, performed analyses not previously possible, better targeted practices and resources, and improved visualization of projects and communication with clients. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< This was a training project, so advertising for and delivering the training (Activity 2) was a large part of dissemination of the project results. Announcements soliciting participants for the 34 workshop sessions and four webinars, and announcing the user Forum and on-line resources were distributed primarily as emails through organizations and associations of the target audience. Information about the project has been presented at the 2012 Minnesota Water Conference, , the USDA 2012 National Land Grant/Sea Grant Water Conference, the 2011 and 2012 annual conferences of the Minnesota GIS/LIS Consortium, and the 2013 national meetings of the Soil and Water Conservation Society.

The on-line materials for the modules include lectures and exercises in Powerpoint slide, text, and video formats.The module workshops were delivered in 34 sessions at eight locations across the state, with a total attendance of 558, (226 individuals in one or more modules).Post-workshop surveys enabled workshop presenters to make adjustments to the workshop materials and presentations as the workshops progressed.The webinars addressed the use of hydrology tools recently developed in Minnesota, hydrology applications in the Red River Basin, and LiDAR for non-technical managers and staff. Total webinar participation was 437.The user Forum currently has 24 topic areas and 121 posts answering questions from technicians employing LiDAR data.Post-workshop surveys indicated that participants increased field work efficiency and area covered, performed analyses not previously possible, better targeted practices and resources, and improved visualization of projects and communication with clients. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION< This was a training project, so advertising for and delivering the training (Activity 2) was a large part of dissemination of the project results. Announcements soliciting participants for the 34 workshop sessions and four webinars, and announcing the user Forum and on-line resources were distributed primarily as emails through organizations and associations of the target audience. Information about the project has been presented at the 2012 Minnesota Water Conference, , the USDA 2012 National Land Grant/Sea Grant Water Conference, the 2011 and 2012 annual conferences of the Minnesota GIS/LIS Consortium, and the 2013 national meetings of the Soil and Water Conservation Society. We expect that use of the on-line project resources will extend well beyond Minnesota since other states have not yet developed LiDAR training programs.",,"FINAL REPORT",2011-07-01,2013-06-30,"Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund",Completed,,,Leslie,Everett,"U of MN","Water Resources Center, 173 McNeal Hall, 1985 Buford Ave","St Paul",MN,55108,"(612) 625-6751",evere003@umn.edu,"Digitization/Online Information Access, Education/Outreach/Engagement, Planning, Technical Assistance","University of Minnesota ",,Statewide,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/strengthening-natural-resource-management-lidar-training,,,, 28471,"Structural Assessment and Work Plan for Pattern Shop at Jackson Street Shops",2013,6600,"Laws of Minnesota for 2011 Chapter 6, Article 4, Subdivision 5, Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants.","Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.","The targets were acheived in the timeframe specified and for $400 less than budgeted.",,,,,6600,,"Mayor Chris Coleman Council Members, President Kathy Lantry, Dave Thune, Melvin Carter, Amy Brendmoen, Chris Tolbert, Russ Stark, Dan Bostrom",,"City of St. Paul","Local/Regional Government","To hire a qualified professional to complete a structural assessment and work plan.",,,2013-03-01,2014-06-01,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Amy,Spong,"City of St. Paul","25 W 4th Street, 1400 City Hall Annex","St. Paul",MN,55102,651-266-6714,,Grants/Contracts,"Minnesota Historical Society",,Ramsey,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/structural-assessment-and-work-plan-pattern-shop-jackson-street-shops,"Historic Resources Advisory Committee Mark Peterson, Winona (Chair) - Executive Director, Winona County Historical Society - Governor's appointee to Minnesota Sesquicentennial and Minnesota Humanities Commissions - Qualified in history, historic preservation and history museum administration Leanne Brown, Eden Prairie - Director of Development, Carver County Library/Library Foundation - Formerly, Executive Director, Carver County Historical Society - Qualified in history, project management and museum studies Jack Byers, Minneapolis - Manager, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department (CPED) - Manages CPED's Preservation and Design Section - Qualified in historic preservation, architecture, urban geography and planning Tamara Edevold, Bagley - Executive Director, Clearwater County Historical Society - Active in Minnesota's Historic Northwest, regional historical organization - Qualified in history, archaeology, anthropology and history museum administration Ram Gada, Eden Prairie - Engineer - Active in the documentation of Minnesota's East Indian community - State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), former member - Qualified in engineering, energy consulting and grants administration William Latady, Tower - Bois Forte Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer - Curator, Bois Forte Heritage Museum - Qualified in archaeology, anthropology, historic preservation and history museum administration Benjamin Vander Kooi, Luverne - Attorney practicing as Vander Kooi Law Offices, P.A., in Luverne, MN - Active in Vote Yes!

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

To manage effectively for these changes it is important to understand how the state’s many lakes respond to these stressors. This includes knowing baseline habitat conditions, observing long-term changes to the baseline, and developing models that can forecast the risks posed and expected impacts of various stressors. In 2009 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began an ambitious long-term monitoring effort of 24 “sentinel” lakes throughout the state specifically identified to represent the breath of basic conditions (e.g., water chemistry, habitat conditions, fishery types, surrounding ecosystem types) present in Minnesota’s most common aquatic environments.

Primary goals of the restoration evaluations program are to provide on the ground accountability for the use of Legacy funds and to improve future habitat restorations in the State. Per statute, the Panel will evaluate the selected habitat restoration projects relative to the law, current science, and the stated goals and standards in the restoration plan. The program coordinator will identify projects to be evaluated, coordinate field assessments and provide a report to the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) and the legislature determining if the restorations are meeting planned goals, any problems with the implementation of restorations, and, if necessary, recommendations on improving restorations. In 2011 an interagency team of BWSR and DNR staff developed recommendations for consistent and effective implementation of the program across the three Legacy Funds that call for restoration evaluations; Parks and Trails, Clean Water and Outdoor Heritage Funds. In 2012 the DNR hired a full time Restoration Evaluation Coordinator to manage implementation of the program. In 2014 the evaluation Panel consists of: Chris Weir-Koetter – DNR, Parks and Trails Carol Strojny – BWSR Sue Galatowitsch – University of Minnesota Greg Berg – Stearns County SWCD Greg Hoch – DNR, Wildlife Mark Oja – MN NRCS The first set of restoration evaluations and recommendations is available in the Fiscal Year 2012 report: http://archive.leg.state.mn.us/docs/2012/mandated/121281.pdf. The Fiscal Year 2013 Report will be available June 2014. The anticipated long-term outcomes of this program are the increased success of habitat restorations and an increased awareness among practitioners and decision-makers of common challenges associated with habitat restorations and recommended management options to improve future restorations. Outputs from this program for Fiscal Year 2016 include case studies of specific practices, project outcomes and lessons learned in the field from restoration practice.This request supports a portion of the inter-agency Legacy Fund Restoration Evaluations Program, which provides for the evaluation of habitat restoration projects completed with funds from the Parks and Trails Fund (M.S. 85.53 Subd. 5), Outdoor Heritage Fund (M.S. 97A.056 Subd. 10), and Clean Water Fund (M.S. 114D.50 Subd. 6) as required by state law. Up to ten initial Outdoor Heritage Fund project evaluations will be reported on in the Fiscal Year 2016 report, an additional two to three follow up evaluations of previously assessed sites will also be reported.

The completion of my goal will result in an exhibit in October of 2017 featuring 12 new photographs created with the use of the two Sigma lenses for which I am requesting Arrowhead Regional Arts Council funds. Furthermore, new photographic images will be created with the lenses on an ongoing basis for use in online display, social media, and local galleries.","With the money from the grant, I was able to purchase the gear needed to capture the photographs I originally intended to create. Of the new photos I captured, I decided on 12 final images to present at an exhibit held at On The Rocks Art Studio in Canal Park. The show was available for public viewing for 30 days and the photographs will be added to my website and social media channels.

The grant will allow me to update my equipment so that I can complete the film in the manner in which I've designed it. I plan to begin initial Super 8mm shooting in May of 2017, traveling to various sites scouted across the state of Minnesota. There will be three months of shooting, including dailies, film processing, and re-shoots as needed. Following this, the Super 8mm film footage will be digitized, uploaded, and archived along with the HD video footage and the analog still photography. From there, I will load everything into Final Cut Pro, organize the various kinds of footage and sound clips, and begin cutting together what will become the final film. I plan about 5 to 6 months for editing everything, from the initial rough cut to the finished cut, and then another several months for post-production to a finished film.","With this grant I was able to purchase new (used) analog filmmaking equipment.

The equipment I currently own and use for recording, mixing, and mastering has been adequate thus far, however I am now in need of hardware that will help further increase my capabilities and support my educational process. Through the acquiring of this grant opportunity I plan to upgrade several components to my studio in order to achieve a higher quality product and fine tune work flow. Measurable outcomes would include sonic quality comparisons in the music as well as time spent working on any given project. The microphone will absolutely produce a higher quality sound for me to work with recording. This will become noticeable through the process of recording, mixing and mastering as an obvious measurable outcome. The keyboard controller has been identified as the most congruent and compatible on the market for the current music production software I use. The use of this keyboard will allow for a more hands-on approach to producing and offer more ease of access to the finer details that are manipulable through the program. Measurable outcomes include a faster work process and a more accurate sound design. The speakers will help produce a more pure sound signal for me to work with. This will help me make more accurate decision in sound design which would be apparent in future projects.","My delayed interaction with the equipment, due to prior obligations, leaves less details for my outcomes than what will be coming in the very near future.

The frequency response in these speakers give me a much clearer picture of the sound I'm working with in terms of its true nature. Sounds are much clearer, making future judgments of adjustments more accurate with less guess work. The keyboard's main feature of having pre-mapped settings for the program I use works seamlessly. I am able to control sound design and make proper adjustments at a much faster rate than before. I'm also seeing a larger potential for ease of creativity, as the finer tinkering of trying to do these things manually on the computer can quickly decay any sense of creativity.

With a longer battery life for the camera and rig, the subjects' stories and the creative process may proceed uninterrupted, allowing for a more natural story progression. In addition, with improved light and sound quality, the information and stories conveyed by the subject are easier understood by the audience, thereby allowing space for more complex themes to emerge. The goal in any interview is to have the visuals and audio be so well executed that the audience doesn't notice how much work really went into it. While visually important in terms of introducing the audience to a subject, a well-done interview also allows for other more visually expressive elements of the story to emerge without distraction. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this improvement, I will be comparing my work specifically as it pertains to interviews pre- and post- technological update using a third party audience. After viewing, audience members will be asked a series of questions about the quality (in the categories of light, sound, etc.) and the effectiveness of communication within the interview. If audience members do not indicate major improvement, different arrangements and equipment settings will be implemented. The same audience members will then evaluate another interview without the technological improvement and a new interview with implemented changes.","The measurable outcomes of this effort are primarily to do with the quality of the content before and after the equipment purchases.

I plan on capturing 40 three- to five-star Milky Way shots with each lens within the first year of owning them. With the 20mm, I'll capture shots with detailed foregrounds. With the 35mm, I'll capture pictures of the galactic core. I currently have a Milky Way presentation that I give to Milky Way Photography students and that is available for photography clubs. The missing component is how to photograph the galactic core and how to use fast lenses to capture both the Milky Way and a visible foreground. I will use the lenses to add four slides on each subject to my Milky Way presentation. Because my measurable outcomes are based on numbers, the method of evaluating the outcomes will be to see if I achieve those numbers. For the goal of taking 40 three- to five-star images, I'll count the number of images at the end of the year. The difficulty with Milky Way images is that the Milky Way is photograph-able with perfect weather for about 7 to 10 days a month. With average weather, that drops to 3 to 5 days a month. During a typical Milky Way outing, I capture 2 to 3 three- to five-star images. Typically, I make it to 2 to 3 locations a night. From November to April, the galactic core is below the horizon, so those months are less than ideal. That gives me a pace of 6 to 7 images a month from May to October to reach my goal. My first scheduled Night Photography Workshop in 2016 is in August. To measure the goal, I'll count the number of slides for each of the subjects.","My project goal was to purchase a Nikon 20mm f/1.8 and a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 to increase my ability to better capture the Milky Way to produce fine art photography as well as use the skills and images I gain to better teach Milky Way photography -- this is an increasingly popular subject.

In addition to using the filters for visible light photography, I will use them with infrared photography on a camera I recently had converted for that purpose. These filters will enable me to soften the water surfaces and balance the light to create images that express my vision. They can help me portray dynamic scenes, convey emotion through drama or suspended tranquility, and create stories. Working in partnership with nature, there are endless possibilities to express unique creativity with these tools. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” The impact the filters have on my artistic goals will be easily assessed when I use them during a photo shoot. I will instantly be able to assess whether they enable me to utilize techniques with longer exposures. Those photographs will include elements such as smooth water surfaces, soft flowing water, improved balance of light and tone. Many photographs will convey a story or emotion and will draw viewers in for a closer look and more in-depth experience and emotional connection with the art. Receiving feedback from viewers will also help me assess whether the artistic expression is being perceived as I intend.

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

These installations filled rooms as can be seen in my slides.

More exhibitions in the future at large venues in Minnesota and beyond are another goal that I believe is possible with proposed funding and furthering the scale of my work. In regard to evaluating a larger shift in scale for my work, I propose to take images of work created with the proposed acquisition of a new computer and Photoshop editing and relay back to the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council in my final report. I have recently signed a purchase agreement on a new studio in Ely that is 2,000 square feet.

The final outcome, ""the tour is known to be available to the community"" is a work in progress as we continue to spread the word and develop interest in the tour. Initial project administration completed as described. Development of story with supporting maps and documentation completed but took four months instead of the initial planned 3 months and did not start until month 3 of the project. These delays were caused simply by the availability of the contractor for this work. Final design and interim peer review completed once the narrative and supporting documentation were completed. We did not anticipate the special requirement to have the narration reviewed by the MN Historical Society. This process added about two months to our timeline, partly because when the tour was reviewed, the Historical Society asked for some changes to the narration that were unanticipated. While, in the end, this was a valuable and important step for us, it did move out the completion of the project by an additional two months. With the support of Preserve Minneapolis and the skills of their web coordinator, Richard Kronick, the development of the final product on the website turned out to be much more straightforward than we had expected. The final outcome is the tour is known to be available in the community. With the release of the tour, it was advertised in the November MRP newsletter, which reaches over 1500 people. We have also sent a press releases to interested parties in the Metro Area including news outlets and neighborhood organizations. We are presenting at both the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board and the Preserve Minneapolis Board.

The Expected Impact in the Intermediate stated that - Area residents will have access to a greater base of knowledge regarding Hutchinson's railroad history and that the Progress Indicator would be that 100% of graffiti will be researched, and a research report will have been written. Every inch of the Depot that contained graffiti was sectioned off and photographed by a Photographer, the product of which are included in the Final Research Report. Historic Hutchinson donated digital copies of the photographs and a physical copy of the final research report to the McLeod County Historical Society for their visitors to have more than one way of learning about the histories left behind in the Depot. The group is also looking into ways to publish the research to increase its accessibility to the public. The expected impact in the short term read as, Local awareness of and interest in the depot's graffiti and history, with the progress indicator being that participation in the public input phase of research. This goal was reached during and after the research phases; there were some cases where local citizens with the same surname as a piece of graffiti was contacted by the Researcher to confirm that that name was indeed a relative and to provide additional information about that person. The local newspaper, The Hutchinson Leader, published an article about the project that included miniature versions of some biographies and photographs from inside the Depot. This generated public interest in a unique city landmark that many previously did not know anything about; the local population was excited to know that the graffiti had already lasted for over a century and showed support for making it last for another one hundred years. The expended impact in the Long Term was - Increased public interaction with local railroading history with the progress indicator being that the researched history will create a knowledge based upon which to base a preservation and exhibition project. The Depot has a newly attached meeting space that is available to the public to rent, but the section of the building with the floor-to-ceiling graffiti is closed off. This research project has brought more awareness on the vast history that the graffiti represents and a good amount of local pride when it was realized that the Hutchinson Depot is alone in Minnesota when the amount and age of railroading graffiti is compared to other Minnesota train depots.

While new construction has more opportunity to include water quality improvements, The 400 Project is unique in that can assist with redevelopment projects where space is limited. The 400 Project is a priority for the City of Plymouth because there is opportunity to address water quality impairments, excess water volume, protect recently constructed improvements, and to provide best management practices in areas of the City where those practices are few and the contribution to water quality impairments is high. The 400 Project will eliminate 400 acres of existing impervious surface in Plymouth over the next 15 years. Additionally, porous pavement(s) and reinforced turf technology have both aesthetic and functional advantages over traditional conservation practices.

Dollars budget for fee title acquisition will be returned to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. Over the life of the ACUB program the Department of Defense has contributed over $30M towards easement acquisition. For this particular phase over $4M in federal funding was leveraged making a fed:state ratio of 2.7:1.  ",,"The purpose of this initiative was to protect fish, migratory birds, big game, and oak habitat along the Crow Wing, Gull, Nokasippi, and Mississippi Rivers via fee title acquisitions and conservation easements. These river corridors are also very vulnerable to habitat degradation due to the potential for development. The Camp Ripley military training center is located immediately adjacent to the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers. Camp Ripley contains 19 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 8 miles of Crow Wing River frontage that provide habitat for many species including 45 Species of Greatest Conservation Need. This project will build upon existing Camp Ripley partnership success with the Army Compatible Use Buffer program (ACUB). This federal program provides funds to protect adjacent lands from encroaching development and in the process protects the training center, water quality and wildlife habitat. As of this writing the ACUB program has protected over 25,000 acres through conservation easements and fee title including 204 RIM easements totaling over 22,000 acres. In 2013 alone BWSR received $4,088,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army ACUB funds for easement acquisition. As of this writing, over the life of the ACUB program, over $33,000,000 in from National Guard Bureau and Department of Army funds have been directed to BWSR for easement acquisition.       This project utilized Camp Ripley’s partnerships with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR),The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Morrison Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to solicit applications and to score and rank applications.The partnership uses a variety of methods to generate landowner interest and solicit applications including; mailings, open houses, direct contact with landowners and special Camp Ripley events. Applications are sorted into agricultural easements (Non-OHF) and riparian and forested lands easements (OHF). They are then scored and ranked against a GIS based system that ranks parcels based upon a number of factors including habitat quality and proximity to Camp Ripley. Applications are then funded in priority order from appropriate funding sources until all funds are used up. The application process is continuous and there is generally a considerable backlog of interested landowners at any specific point in time. Once a funding decision has been made Morrison SWCD and BWSR work together to accomplish the standard RIM easement acquisition process and the easement becomes part of the RIM portfolio.  Although there were no fee title projects that came to fruition during this appropriation the general process is that DNR, with the support of partners, negotiates directly with landowners that are in the approved boundaries for Wildlife Management Areas. Standard DNR fee title acquisition processes are followed.

In addition 19 RIM-WRP easements, totaling 2,239 acres were funded. Thus a total of 3,385 acres were protected and restored to wetland and grassland habitat. All easements have been recorded. Leverage from other sources of funds was a little over $4.5M. ",,"  The RIM Wetlands and RIM-WRP  Partnership accelerated the restoration and protection of 3,385 acres of previously drained wetlands and associated upland native grassland wildlife habitat complexes via permanent conservation easements. The goal of RIM Wetlands and the RIM-WRP Partnership was to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, while optimizing wildlife habitat on every acre enrolled in the partnership.  The RIM-WRP partnership combined Minnesota's RIM Reserve conservation easement program and the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). Combining RIM Reserve and WRP allowed OHF to leverage Federal Farm Bill conservation dollars to Minnesota. Utilizing both programs resulted in competitive payment rates to landowners and sharing of the costs associated with perpetual easement acquisition and restoration by both the federal and state programs. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control such as staffing and other issues at NRCS severely limited the agencies ability to close easements and implement restorations, and BWSR was obligated to restructure the RIM-WRP Partnership into RIM Wetlands in November of 2014. The inability of NRCS to follow through on commitments, dramatically increasing crop and land values and reduced federal leverage resulted in fewer acres being accomplished than originally proposed. These changes are reflected in the 11/18/14 Accomplishment Plan Amendment and testimony provided by BWSR staff at that time.  The RIM Wetlands Program and RIM-WRP Partnership held one to two joint meetings per year to provide program oversight and guidance and to establish payment rates for upcoming sign-ups. Specifically,both programs used the USFWS Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET), located in Fergus Falls, to develop a GIS Wildlife Habitat Potential Model that was used with the WRP and RIM Reserve programs’ environmental evaluation. In addition, the Minnesota Wetland Restoration Evaluation Worksheet was used to evaluate each easement application on its potential to restore wetland functions and values along with optimum wildlife habitat benefits. Both programs were offered statewide but had a priority focus in the ecological provinces of the state that have experienced significant losses of wetland and associated prairies. It was delivered by Ducks Unlimited (DU) staff, local NRCS staff, local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff and assisted by program staff from both NRCS and the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Since the SWCD is responsible for the local delivery of the RIM Reserve program to private landowners on behalf of the State of Minnesota, they were ideally suited to work in concert with their local DU and NRCS staff to efficiently and effectively deliver the RIM-WRP partnership. In the case of RIM-WRP once an easement is acquired NRCS is responsible for maintenance, inspection and monitoring during the life of their 30-year WRP easement. The state of Minnesota assumes sole responsibility via its RIM Reserve easement once the 30-year WRP easement has expired. For RIM Wetlands the state assumes responsibility for monitoring and enforcement as soon as the easement is recorded. BWSR partners with local SWCDs to carry-out oversight, monitoring and inspection of its conservation easements.  Throughout its  history the RIM-WRP Partnership demonstrated that the State of Minnesota can cooperatively work with a federal partner (NRCS) and through a local delivery system (SWCD, NRCS, and DU) to implement a permanent easement protection program that yielded thousands of acres of permanently protected wildlife habitat. Significant leverage obtained was due to the amount of easement payments, conservation plan payments, and other costs the NRCS contributed to this partnership. The NRCS made the bulk of the easement payment portion through 30-year WRP Easement acquisition, while BWSR paid an additional portion for the Permanent RIM Easement. It is most unfortunate that this partnership had to end after conserving nearly 20,000 acres cumulatively. NRCS paid a high percentage of the restoration costs for these easements, with RIM picking up the remaining costs. The use of NRCS Practice Standards, along with BWSR's Native Vegetation Guidelines led to very high diversity mixes being seeded. The level of wetland restoration was dependent on restorable extent that would not impact lands outside the easement area.  BWSR & NRCS evaluated restoration extent during our scoring review to ensure restoration was actually feasible, then followed up with site analysis and surveys. Eight RIM Wetlands applications were selected for funding on 1146.2 acres with this appropriation. In addition 19 RIM-WRP easements, totaling 2,239 acres were funded.  These restored wetlands and native grassland complexes will provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and other wetland dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wetlands and adjacent grasslands provide habitat for waterfowl, pheasants, deer and non-game species, some that are threatened or endangered. As of 8/21/18 9 easements have been restored and 17 are in the restoration process. BWSR and the NRCS are committed to seeing all restorations through to ensure all sites provide beneficial habitat. Due to delays with easement processing, restoration was also delayed in several cases.  BWSR is held to the statutory requirement that requires restoration of the easements we acquire. This restoration includes establishment of acceptable vegetation, if the current cover does not adequately meet site goals. Note that due to LSOHC database architecture and migration of this old project into the ""new"" LSOHC database amended goals are not reflected in the ""original"" budget and output columns of this final report.     ",2012-07-01,2014-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Tim,Koehler,BWSR,"520 Lafayette Rd.

He has diligently identified and contacted African Americans who played baseball in Minnesota and the nearby states in the first half of the twentieth century or their descendants and interviewed them. In addition, he has received from these participants photos, game score cards, and other baseball memorabilia that document who played Minnesota Black Baseball, where the games were played, how the teams were organized, and how they did on the diamond. Many of these photos and artifacts have not been shared outside these families and will be a significant contribution to the public record of Minnesota Black Baseball when the book is completed. Mr. White has also scoured the microfilm files of the African American newspapers published in Minnesota during these years to piece together more information on these many little-known African American ballplayers. The short-term objective of completing a manuscript was only 71% complete during the grant period. However, at the time of this writing it is clear that this objective will be 100% complete in the very near term. Mr. White is in high demand as a speaker and consultant on the history of Black Baseball. This reality has brought him into contact with additional resources but has also slowed the writing of the manuscript. As of 1/1/14 two chapters remained incomplete. He is, however, committed to doing the work of writing these chapters and as of the submission date of this report has completed acceptable drafts of those two chapters. All expenses and time incurred after the end date of the grant period is being contributed by Mr. White and is not reliant on grant funds. Mr. White and RCHS believe the results of his research belong in the public domain and we are moving forward together to secure private funding for printing the finished book.

A watershed restoration and protection strategies (WRAPS) study and total maximum daily load (TMDL) developed from 2012 to 2014 identified watershed runoff as the primary source of phosphorus to the lake; the TMDL identified a phosphorus waste load reduction of 30% necessary to achieve MPCA water quality standards. The proposed project will treat stormwater runoff prior to discharge into Thompson Lake, thereby reducing phosphorus concentrations in the lake, improving lake clarity, and leading to removal from the Impaired Waters list. The project includes construction of a series of upland stormwater basins at the north end of the lake, inside Thompson County Park, to treat runoff from 83% of the watershed (145 acres). The project will include sediment forebays at storm sewer outfalls, a stormwater wetland/pond, and a stormwater reuse irrigation system that draws water from the wetland and irrigates nearby parkland. Water quality modeling indicates that the proposed project will reduce phosphorus loading to the lake by 39%, achieving the waste load reduction identified in the TMDL. The project will provide additional public benefits including native habitat enhancement, education opportunities, trail improvements, and improved aesthetics. The project will be completed in partnership with the City of West St. Paul and Dakota County.

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

However the groundwater springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use and increased groundwater withdrawals for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed them in order to understand how these springsheds might be affected by development and increased water use and determine what can be done to protect and restore their water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Trout streams depend on a steady supply of clean, cold water which comes from groundwater springs. These trout springs are under increasing pressure from changing land use, climate change, and groundwater withdrawals for domestic use, mining, agriculture, and energy production. Delineation of the recharge areas or springsheds of trout springs using dye tracing is a necessary first step in the conservation and protection of the trout stream coldwater supplies. This project focused on delineating groundwater springsheds both in the Galena Group limestone karst areas of Fillmore and Olmsted counties, where this work has been done for over 30 years, and in the Cambrian St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group bedrock across southeast Minnesota. Prior to this project, no springsheds had been delineated in the St. Lawrence or Tunnel City bedrock units. We demonstrated that springs discharging from these units receive surface water recharge from sinking streams and that this recharge moves hundreds of feet per day through the bedrock. This has rewritten our understanding of the hydrology of southeast Minnesota and has demonstrated that these springs, which we formerly believed to be well-protected from land surface activities, are much more vulnerable than we previously realized. Overall, during this project we mapped 41 groundwater springsheds (delineated by dye tracing) and 54 surface water springsheds (surface watersheds sending water to a point where it sinks underground into a groundwater springshed). Twelve of the groundwater springsheds and sixteen of the surface water springsheds are in the St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group. The groundwater springshed delineated areas total 50,708 acres and the surface water delineated areas total 124,447 acres. Prior to this project there was a total of 54,091 acres of both springshed types delineated. Springsheds were delineated in Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona counties.

However the groundwater springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use and increased groundwater withdrawals for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed them in order to understand how these springsheds might be affected by development and increased water use and determine what can be done to protect and restore their water quality. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Trout streams depend on a steady supply of clean, cold water which comes from groundwater springs. These trout springs are under increasing pressure from changing land use, climate change, and groundwater withdrawals for domestic use, mining, agriculture, and energy production. Delineation of the recharge areas or springsheds of trout springs using dye tracing is a necessary first step in the conservation and protection of the trout stream coldwater supplies. This project focused on delineating groundwater springsheds both in the Galena Group limestone karst areas of Fillmore and Olmsted counties, where this work has been done for over 30 years, and in the Cambrian St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group bedrock across southeast Minnesota. Prior to this project, no springsheds had been delineated in the St. Lawrence or Tunnel City bedrock units. We demonstrated that springs discharging from these units receive surface water recharge from sinking streams and that this recharge moves hundreds of feet per day through the bedrock. This has rewritten our understanding of the hydrology of southeast Minnesota and has demonstrated that these springs, which we formerly believed to be well-protected from land surface activities, are much more vulnerable than we previously realized. Overall, during this project we mapped 41 groundwater springsheds (delineated by dye tracing) and 54 surface water springsheds (surface watersheds sending water to a point where it sinks underground into a groundwater springshed). Twelve of the groundwater springsheds and sixteen of the surface water springsheds are in the St. Lawrence Formation and Tunnel City Group. The groundwater springshed delineated areas total 50,708 acres and the surface water delineated areas total 124,447 acres.

Turnaround Arts: Minnesota is run by Perpich Center for Arts Education and works with schools pre-K through 8th grade.","Arts education has been shown through numerous studies to be an important part of education as a whole and able to give students tools for success. Decades of research show that arts-engaged students perform better than their peers academically. Read about the research at bit.ly/1qCus03.For example, recent studies show that students who participate regularly in the arts:are more self-confident and better able to express their ideashave higher attendance and high school graduation ratesare more likely to attend a four-year university, graduate and go on to a career with potentialArts education can also benefit overall school culture and climate, especially when it is integrated into the school, giving teachers new tools, increasing collaboration, creating an atmosphere of creativity and inspiration and engaging parents and the community.However, federal data shows that students who need arts education the most are getting it the least. While affluent public schools have high rates of arts education, high-poverty schools often have almost none. There are over 5 million students in public elementary schools in this country without either a music or an arts class in their school. Almost all are high-poverty.","Turnaround Arts: Minnesota is an arts and school improvement program.

After identifying and prioritizing targeted sites through this planning and modeling process, the Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District will contact and work with landowners to discuss potential options to address identified problems.

The instructors, staff, and the board of the Armory Arts and Music Center (the Music Resource Center's parent organization) are committed to the Music Resource Center's mission, 'To educate and inspire young people, and through music, equip them with life skills for the future'. The Music Resource Center program and its parent organization, the Armory Arts and Music Center, are continually assessing, evaluating and seeking feedback to shape the program and achieve its goals. This happens at all levels of the organization including our instructors, the executive director, the Armory Arts and Music Center Arts and Music Programming Committee, and the Armory Arts and Music Center Board. These evaluations take place at different intervals to effectively respond to input and needs. Discussion among the instructors and the executive director occur on a weekly (or more frequent) basis, while the Arts and Music Programming Committee meets periodically to discuss larger issues, and the Board meets monthly for updates and to give input. The Music Resource Center currently utilizes three tools to gather information including: Student registration packet (which includes the member application and interest survey); to understand each students background and goals.

Measureable outcomes in this field would be to increase presence to the public, create stronger promotional opportunities, increase and solidify year round marketing within social networks, create regional advertisements, website upkeep and analytics tracking, and increase programming with partner organizations. With the staff hire to oversee these activities we intend to increase traffic to the Duluth Superior Film Festival website by 50% in the non-festival months. Increase our Facebook Page Likes and Twitter followers by 20% and increase the number of screenings we present outside of the festival setting to 20/year. The long range outcome is to expand the regional artistic community by producing a quality, entertaining, and thought provoking film festival and ongoing cinema exhibition. An increase in regional productions allows Duluth Superior Film Festival to attempt to screen 15 regionally made productions per year in 2017/18. Our methods to measure outcomes to ascertain goal achievements will be as follows: Monitoring staff hire through board oversight via a 5-point performance management evaluation matrix tool that assesses staff strength in the following categories and subcategories: 1. Organizational Wide Financial Understanding: Financial understanding of organization and ability to constrain this understanding. 2. Organization Wide Competencies: Initiative; Sense of Urgency; Teamwork; Work Environment/Safety. 3. Job Based Competencies: Communication; Audience Focus; Dependability; Job Knowledge; Planning; Productivity; Results Focus; Technical Skills. Marketing and promotional goals will be measured through the use of website analytics and visitor tracking, social networking insight tools which measure page actions, page views, page likes, reach, and post engagements, as well as documenting volume of promotional materials and advertisements at festival and special year round events. We will know that we achieved our goals by seeing an increase in traffic to our website by 50% in the non-festival months, an increase our Facebook page Likes (currently 1,916) and Twitter followers (currently 755) by 20% (Facebook=2,300, Twitter=910).

We also instituted a system of membership benefits created by the collective, in order to maintain contact with our donors, to establish goodwill and the willingness to continue giving.

It is recognized that to preserve wild rice in Minnesota it is critical to maintain its genetic diversity, yet knowledge of genetic diversity in wild rice is limited. Scientists at the University of Minnesota's Department of Plant Biology are using this appropriation to study the genetic diversity of wild rice in Minnesota in order to enhance options and inform best practices for wild rice protection and restoration. OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) was studied using DNA-based single sequence repeats and the tools of bioinformatics to determine the genetic diversity of wild rice among 70 populations across the state of Minnesota. This study had two objectives: 1) to document genetic diversity of wild rice populations; and 2) assess the usefulness of genetic information for the conservation of this important wild species in Minnesota. Results showed that genetic diversity of the populations in Minnesota is relatively high with a range of 0.37 to 0.73 in heterozygosity and a mean of 0.54. Hetereozygosity can range between 0.0 to 1.0 indicating that genetic diversity among wild rice populations is reasonably high. This also means that many populations are quite unique from a genetic standpoint. Two genetic phylograms are presented. These are figures that illustrate the genetic relationships among the populations using two different genetic models. Examples are given to illustrate how genetics may be used when restoring or rebuilding populations of wild rice. PROJECT RESULTS USE AND DISSEMINATION This project will be disseminated via a website report and via seminars and presentations both nationally and regionally. The data will be useful to resource managers across the state who are managing populations of wild rice. The genetics of wild rice in Minnesota has not been explored in detail, thus resource managers will now have another tool to use when making decisions about restoration of wild rice populations.

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

There are 275 acres in this sub-watershed, located directly upstream of the Upper Iowa River. The topography lends itself to flashy stormwater events which leave their mark on the upland gully erosion and severely degraded streambank. The watershed operates as a funnel, bringing the high velocity water to a concentrated area and shooting it through the banks, rather than over. This has lead to a site which is void of vegetation and six streambank blowouts within a 300 foot area of streambank. This project will treat the flow by constructing grass waterways in the upper reaches of the watershed and treat that water all the way down to the streambank. Directly adjacent to the streambank, an earthen structure will be built, to trap, treat and release the water back into the Upper Iowa at a responsible rate. The structure will fix and prevent future streambank blowouts. It will also treat and provide settlement for the upstream stormwater.

Progress Indicator: Physical materials gathered to one location, inventory created. Status: Complete - all materials have been located and moved to the VocalEssence offices except for a small number of items owned by and housed at Minnesota Public Radio, which will be addressed in the next phase of the project. An inventory catalog was created based on the format of UMedia, where the files will eventually be stored. Intermediate: VocalEssence will gain knowledge of the scope of work required to implement Phase 2 of the project, which includes procuring rights, digitization of materials, and developing a web content delivery system. Progress Indicator: Information gathered to create an estimate of cost and revised work plan for Phase 2 in advance of 2017 Minnesota Historic and Cultural Heritage Large Grant application due date. Status: Complete - VocalEssence has the knowledge to work on applying for funding and implementing Phase 2 of the project. It was determined based on the results of this project that procuring streaming rights to the files will be more complicated and time-consuming than originally thought, so that portion of the project will be moved to a third phase, along with the web content delivery system. Long-Term: The long-term goal of this project is to develop a process for past and future complete digitization of all VocalEssence audio-visual materials, ensuring the historic preservation and making those materials available for public use. Progress Indicator: All materials delivered to the University of Minnesota Performing Arts Archive, digitally converted, and searchable and accessible to the public via the VocalEssence online repertoire database. Status: In progress - VocalEssence staff were trained by the project archivist to begin the process of cataloging and digitization of future VocalEssence recordings in order to develop a procedure for processing all incoming recordings.

Ramsey County's water resources provide the industrial base, drinking water, and recreational opportunities for over one-half million people on a daily basis. The major environmental problems that Ramsey County lakes and streams face can be traced to the effects that urbanized land use has on these natural resources. Their destruction and deterioration threaten the high quality of life in Ramsey County and could require expensive restoration and remediation practices to repair. The Ramsey Conservation District used GIS technology and modeling systems to identify the most cost-effective catchments to install Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in nutrient-impaired Wakefield Lake. The aim of this project is to design and install BMPs, prioritizing seven specific raingarden locations, which will reduce the external loading of TP into Wakefield Lake by 10 pounds/year.

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

","The Twin Cities metropolitan area is home to three million people, over half of Minnesota's population. Over 70% of the region's population relies on groundwater resources for their source of water supply. Securing their safe and plentiful drinking water, while protecting the region's diverse water resources, requires coordinated and ongoing effort. Although the seven-county region is relatively water-rich, the region's steady population growth, increased groundwater pumping, changing land use, and variable weather and climate is challenging some communities' ability to meet current and future demand. Our rising dependence on groundwater for drinking water, particularly since 1980, has become a significant issue. In parts of the region, groundwater levels are declining. In some cases, it is affecting, or has the potential to affect, lake and wetland levels. Additionally, groundwater quality is a challenge that many cities are trying to address.

","Contributed stream geomorphology and connectivity information primarily for watersheds where the MPCA and local partners were developing or updating WRAPS: Conducted at least 41 stream surveys in 15 watersheds and started making the data available in a statewide web map and in story maps such as this one. Collected culvert inventory data in three (3) watersheds to be added to a statewide GIS layer. Completed at least 21 and worked on at least 16 more stream geomorphology analyses or reports in 20 watersheds. Seven (7) of these analyses are intensive subwatershed studies that distinguish stream sources from other sources of sediment in impaired streams to help partners identify catchments where upland restoration efforts stream restoration efforts or a combination will be most effective. Collaborated with MPCA and local partners on the above. MPCA and partners use the information to better understand biological and water quality impairments improve pollutant load calculations and help identify enduring multiple-benefit solutions that address root causes and promote watershed health and resilience. Completed a major project to standardize streamline and enhance DNR hydrology and stream geomorphology contributions: Finished developing a consistent repeatable method of evaluation to quantify the degree of hydrologic change in a watershed and related impacts to flooding channel-forming flows and biological community health. Staff piloted the evaluation in six (6) major watersheds.

The DNR GIS Hydrologist will produce and make available advanced spatial analysis tools and products to identify water conveyance features on the landscape. These tools will greatly enhance the ability of local watershed managers to “see” landscape features like steep slopes or drainage pathways allowing much better targeting of conservation practices.","In FY14 the DNR GIS Hydrologist continued to serve as Minnesota’s Watershed Data Steward; the DNR collaborated with USGS to harmonize watershed delineations with Canadian data and the federally managed watershed boundary dataset (WBD). Because of this partnership Minnesota has better spatial information for watershed management activities such as locating water quality practices and watershed modeling. As the MN LiDAR data steward and the MN LiDAR Research and Education Committee Chair the DNR GIS Hydrologist continued the work of LiDAR coordination for Minnesota. As part of this responsibility the DNR GIS Hydrologist functioned as the lead coordinator in the published release of the internet portal for viewing and downloading LiDAR data known as MnTOPO. Additionally several outreach and education training sessions were conducted to promote MnTOPO and proper LiDAR data usage. The GIS Hydrologist facilitated the development of the LiDAR naming standards for Minnesota which resulted in the recently completed overhaul of the entire LiDAR dataset. This work also advanced the writing of LiDAR standards by developing new LiDAR terminology for use in Minnesota. The DNR GIS Hydrologist defined a suite of terminology that will guide the development and management of digital elevation models intended for hydrologic and water resource applications. Advanced LiDAR derived products to identify water conveyance features on the landscape were not created because additional staff were not available to complete this work. The DNR River Ecologist began developing a procedure for classifying stream types and valley types in Minnesota using LiDAR data. An outline of the proposed process for GIS classification was developed which details the necessary metrics and protocols. Survey data from the Clean Water Legacy Specialists from each DNR region were gathered for future validation analysis.",,,,149268,,,1.7,,,"This project delineates and maps watersheds (drainage areas) of lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands for the state of Minnesota and provides watershed maps in digital form for use in geographic information systems.

Specifically the Wellhead Protection Conservation Easement program is targeted to protect drinking water through the Reinvest in Minnesota Program (RIM). In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Soil and Water Conservation Districts, permanent conservation easements are purchased in areas where the vulnerability of the drinking water is designated as high or very high. In addition, sensitive groundwater concerns associated with Decorah Shale/St. Lawrence bedrock edge areas in Goodhue, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona counties were offered as eligible in 2013. In 1986, the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Act was enacted to restore certain marginal and environmental sensitive agricultural land to protect soil and water quality and support fish and wildlife habitat. Utilizing the RIM conservation easement program, this program focused on converting agricultural land presently in production to native grasslands and wetlands in areas where the vulnerability of the drinking water is designated as high or very high by MDH. Restoring native grasslands within wellhead protection and edge areas improves water quality by providing greater distance between drinking water sources and agricultural chemical use. Changing land use from agricultural production to restored grasslands and wetlands has produced dramatic, measurable improvements in drinking water quality. Lands that were targeted were new or existing USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts with cropping history. The easements funded under this program are permanent, whereas CRP easements are for 10-15 years. Participating landowners receive a payment to retire land in agricultural production and to establish buffers of native vegetation. Minnesota currently has just over 200,000 acres of Conservation Reserve Program easements in buffer practices at various stages of their 10-15 year contracts, some soon to expire. The drinking water and wellhead protection initiative compliments other programs, both existing and yet to be developed, over the next 25 years.

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

",,"Minnesota Land Trust’s Wetlands Habitat Protection Program area extends from Meeker northwest to Becker County, located along a vast glacial moraine system at the edge of the of western Minnesota. This prairie pothole country is the core of Minnesota’s “duck factory” and is central to one of North America’s most important flyways for migratory waterfowl. In this second phase of its Wetland Habitat Protection Program, the Land Trust focused its activities toward the protection of important wetland/upland complexes of habitat within the program area. In Phase 2 of this program, the Land Trust protected 1,026 acres of high priority wetland and associated upland habitats and nearly 17.56 miles of shoreland along lakes, streams and rivers by acquiring conservation easements from willing landowners. This exceeded the proposed target output by 276 acres. The Land Trust accepted one fully donated easement, negotiated bargain sale purchases on an additional four easements, and purchased four at full appraised value. Total leverage from donated value of the easements is placed at $386,975, in excess of that proposed. This value was substantiated in all nine easements through appraisals. The success of the program in producing high levels of donated value was due in part to both the high levels of interest among landowners in participating in the program, and the use of a market-based approach to incentivize landowners to contribute in this fashion. The program targeted projects that helped fill gaps in existing public ownership, contained the highest-quality habitat, and provided the greatest leverage to the state. Landowners submitted applications to the program via a RFP process, whereby proposals were evaluated based on a combination ecological factors (size of the property, condition of wetland and associated upland habitat, proximity to other protected lands, and other factors); landowners were also asked to submit the level of funding necessary for them to participate in the program. Those properties with the best ratio of environmental benefits to easement cost became the highest priority for acquisition. Nine properties were protected through this Phase 2 grant, including the following (each of which more thoroughly illustrated through a project summary sheet that is uploaded as part of this final report): Cooks Lake (Vergas Trail Timberlands, LLC) - This 116-acre property builds on a large complex of private lands protected by conservation easements along the shore of Cooks Lake in Otter Tail County. The total complex now totals 760 acres. The property protects high quality mesic hardwood forests, wetlands, and 4,072 feet of shoreline on Cooks Lake. Little Crow Lake (Kluck) - This spectacular 263-acre property encompasses nearly the entirety (13,719 feet of shoreline) of Little Crow Lake in Otter Tail County. Mesic hardwood forest, wetlands and grasslands are draped across the rugged hills of the property, providing habitat for a variety of SGCN including common loon and trumpeter swan. Little Pine Lake (Durrant) - Duel Creek, a designated trout stream, winds its way through this 164-acre forested property in Todd County. The property contains nearly all of the fishable reach (6,726 feet) of this trout stream, one of only four in Todd County. The property is dominated by hardwood forests on rugged, rolling terrain. Mineral Lake (Harris) - This 126-acre easement in Otter Tail County comprises much of a large, forested peninsula extending into Mineral Lake. Basswood-Bur Oak-(Green Ash) forests, wetlands, and 20,924 feet of shoreland are protected through this impressive property. Sauk River (Dodge-Dunker) - This 71-acre easement is one of three contiguous properties along the Sauk River in Stearns County protected through this grant. The property is a mix of floodplain forests, marshland and dry savanna on the slopes of an esker, and includes 6,321 feet of shoreline along the Sauk River. Sauk River (Klehr Trust & Klehr) - This 37-acre easement in Stearns County contains high quality floodplain forests located along nearly 2 miles of the Sauk River and its meandered channels and oxbows. Sauk River (Klehr) - This 82-acre property in Stearns County contains extensive floodplain forests along three miles of the Sauk River. The property contains a mixture of floodplain forest, marshland and dry savanna. Sauk River (Lindell) - This 77-acre easement protects nearly one-half mile of shoreline along the Sauk River and abuts the Cold Spring Heron Colony SNA in Stearns County. Restoration of a degraded fen is underway in a joint project between the Minnesota DNR, The Nature Conservancy, Minnesota Land Trust and Sauk River Watershed District. Spitzer Lake (Burkett) - This 87-acre project located on the shores of Long Lake and Spitzer Lake in Otter Tail County is part of a complex of protected lands totaling over 3,000 acres. The property contains over 9,145 feet of shoreline, mesic hardwood forest and grasslands. Landowner interest for the program has increased significantly over the course of this grant, with in excess of 50 landowners applying through our November 2018 RFP. Across Phases 1 and 2 of this program, the Land Trust has protected 2,990 acres of important wildlife habitat and 32.4 miles of shoreline, while leveraging $1,596,680 in landowner donation of easement value.

Total expenditure was $1,355,000 which was 17% lower than originally budgeted. No fee-title land acquisition opportunities on wild rice lakes that fit within DNR and other government agency land plans were available during this time period thus DU did not expend any of the $100,000 budgeted for fee-title acquisition. Instead the program focused on RIM easements.  ","    ","The second phase of Wild Rice Shoreland Protection was intended to protect additional wild rice shoreland and continue the success of Phase I. BWSR, DU, DNR, SWCDs and other partners (see below) worked closely together to continue protection of vulnerable and ecologically valuable wild rice lake shorelands and grow the program which has led to subsequent phases III-V with Phase VI proposed for ML19 funding. Wild rice shoreland encompasses a complex of shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays of deeper lakes that support rice and provide some of the most important habitat for wetland-dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wild rice habitat is especially important to Minnesota’s migrating and breeding waterfowl and provides Minnesotans with unique recreation opportunities: hunting waterfowl and harvesting the rice itself for food.  Historically, wild rice occurred throughout Minnesota and extended into northern Iowa. Wild rice has since been extirpated from most of its southern range due to human impacts. Today, the heart of the states wild rice acreage falls within this project work area comprised of eight counties Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, and Wadena. These counties also account for 70% of harvesting trips for state licensed harvesters. This wild rice shoreland complex exists primarily in the state's Forest Section and remains intact with good water quality, but it is subject to intense development pressure that, if allowed, will degrade the resource. Recent well-documented population and development trends pose a serious threat to wild rice habitat in the Northern Forest Section. This population and development boom has reduced the availability of developable shoreline on recreational lakes, resulting in shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays containing wild rice being increasingly targeted for shoreline development. Shallow lakes and rivers in the forest are very susceptible to the impacts of shoreline development. The scoring and ranking process placed a strong emphasis on protecting the most vulnerable shorelines that were offered. Tracts were selected based on the degree they help permanently protect all the land around a given wild rice water body. Through the work of six SWCD offices, BWSR acquired 26  RIM shoreland easements from wild rice lake and river shoreline landowners. The BWSR/SWCD easements were acquired using the standard RIM process. Future monitoring and enforcement will be conducted via the standard RIM monitoring process. Although no fee-title acquisitions were completed during this phase the work of the partners paid off in subsequent phases as groundwork from this phase resulted in fee-title acquisition in Phase 3.   ",2013-07-01,2017-06-30,"Outdoor Heritage Fund",Completed,,,Dan,Steward,"Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources","1601 Minnesota Drive ",Brainerd,MN,56401,"(218) 828-2598",dan.steward@state.mn.us,"Land Acquisition","Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources",,"Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis, Wadena","Northern Forest",,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/wild-rice-shoreland-protection,,,, 28022,"Wild Rice River Restoration Project",2014,100938,"Laws of Minnesota 2013, Regular Session chapter 137","Projects and Practices 2014","Calculation based on TMDL plan","This project resulted in estimated reductions of 1,425 lb. of phosphorus per year, 929 tons of sediment per year, and 926 fewer tons of soil lost annually.

This is a voluntary program with the long-term goal to restore a natural corridor area along the Lower Reach of the Wild Rice River. When completed, the project will restore 23 channelized river miles to 50 miles of natural stream channel. The funding from this allocation was used to protect and restore approximately 480 acres of floodplain forest, wetland, and grassland habitat along the Wild Rice River.","The long-term goal of the Wild Rice River Corridor Habitat Restoration Project is to restore a natural corridor area along the Lower Reach of the Wild Rice River. When completed, the project will restore 23 channelized river miles to 50 miles of natural stream channel. Due to the overall size of the initiative, it is planned that the project will be conducted in multiple phases over the next decades. The phases were established to allow both for orderly implementation of the project and to ensure that wildlife and habitat benefits would be gained from the onset of implementation. The following describes the anticipated phases and major work items anticipated under each phase. Phase 1 ?Land Acquisition/Restoration ? This phase will involve acquisition of a Conservation Easements to provide the Wild Rice Watershed District land rights to install and maintain future phases of implementation. As part of this phase, the production of agricultural crops within the parcel would cease and the area would be restored to a permanent vegetative cover by the landowner as set forth in the Conservation Easement conservation plan. Phase 2 ? Detailed Design and Setback Levee Construction ? Once a significant reach of property has been enrolled as part of Phase 1 and detailed design for the corridor restoration has been completed, the existing river-side levees would be decommissioned and replaced with new levees setback further from the river. The alignment of these levees would be established to maximize the use of the available Phase 1 corridor and to allow for future implementation of Channel Rehabilitation under Phase 3. Phase 3 ? Channel Rehabilitation ? Phase 3 will involve restoration of the channel along an approximately 23-mile segment of river. This restoration will reconnect many segments of the natural river that were cutoff by the channelized, leveed river channel. Reconnecting the floodplain will also benefit adjacent prairie and wetlands. During this phase, it is anticipated that a combination of modifications to historic oxbows that were cut off during the earlier straightening project and new meandering river channel segments would be constructed to create a long-term stable river channel. In addition, wetlands will be restored where determined practicable and compatible with setback levee and channel rehabilitation locations.

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

",,"With assistance from the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund, in Phase II the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Minnesota Public Lands Program continued to compete targeted young forest and brushland habitat projects on County, State, Federal, and Tribal lands with collaborative assistance of associated public and tribal agencies. These projects were implemented using science-based best management practices (BMPs) to create diverse breeding habitat for the golden-winged warbler (GWWA), American woodcock (AMWO), and associated wildlife species within the northern Minnesota focal area. This project is part of a cooperative, full life-cycle, international initiative to restore the population GWWA, which declined by 68% since 1966. Additionally, throughout its range, AMWO populations also steadily declined over the last quarter century at a rate of 1-2% per year. Project areas were located primarily in non-commercial habitat types, the vast majority being lowland or upland brush sites that contained very old and dense brush species, including alder, willow, and hazel; with alder being the most common. Stems measured 1-5” (avg. 2-3"") diameter and grew in dense clumps that had a higher aggregate diameter at the base. Average brush height was approximately 10’ within deciduous or mixed forest matrix. These closed brush canopies limited or removed the ability of ground nesting avian species such as the GWWA and AMWO to occupy sites for the purposes of nesting and brood rearing. Habitat projects concentrated on brush cutting treatments to emulate natural disturbance. Post-treatment habitat conditions included a mix of scattered and clumped tree species dominated by hardwoods that were retained as residual structure along with scattered brush. Woody retention of vertical and horizontal structural diversity depended on a suite of site level factors, including size and shape of the site, distance from forest edge, adjacent forest characteristics, and the number of trees present in a given area. When project areas did not have sufficient tree cover to maintain 10-15 mature trees per acre, well distributed clumps of brush (10-15/acre, ≥25% cover) were retained. Some larger project areas also retained undisturbed legacy patches (>0.25 acres in size). Feathered edges at the site boundaries were also emphasized to create a gradual transition into the adjacent forest when possible. Most project sites were located in brushland/forest interfaces, though a small number of projects were completed in aspen cover types to create or maintain habitat openings and multi-aged stands. The latter sites were completed using similar methodology as those described in brushland habitats in terms of treatment prescriptions and retention of residual woody structure. Monitoring efforts were completed by Cornell University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Research Institute and included project sites from both the ABC MN Public Lands Program (projects completed via funding from MN OHF 'Young Forest Conservation Phase I & II') and the ABC MN Private Lands Program (projects completed via funding from the NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP)). It is notable that the ABC Private Lands Program is separate and complimentary to the ABC Public Lands Program. No projects on private lands were completed with funding via MN OHF. Point count monitoring indicated that GWWA local abundance is increasing where ABC project work has occurred, and that GWWA population response has been positive to BMP implementation. Occupancy rates on shrubland project sites exceed 95% in both Western Minnesota (98% of sites; 95% CI: 92–100%) and Eastern Minnesota (97% of sites; 95% CI: 88–99%)(McNeil et al. 2020, Biological Conservation). These sites were monitored between 2015 and 2017 (with a subset of sites also monitored in 2018) and included project sites since the winter 2013-14 project season. Because most of the projects completed on private lands were timber harvests, it can be safely stated that a significant proportion (and possibly the majority) of shrubland sites monitored were located on public lands completed in Phase I or II of the MN Public Lands Program, though ABC does not have this information due to the independent nature of the study. Relative abundance on shrubland habitats rises from approximately 1.5 to 3.0 male GWWA per point count on treated vs. untreated sites, respectively (publication in peer review process). Monitoring was also begun this year to examine monarch and other pollinator responses within managed sites. AMWO also has been observed as increasing in local abundance at these project locations with 92% of treated sites across all public and private lands project sites occupied by AMWO, at a density of 0.516 singing males/ha observed on shrubland sites. In Phase II, the ABC Public Lands Coordinator continued expand ABC's partner base throughout northern Minnesota by engaging public and tribal lands partner agencies in project design and implementation and by participating in educational workshops. It quickly became apparent in Phase I and continued to be evident in Phase II that public and tribal lands agencies had a need and interest to complete habitat projects of this type. As a result, the number of project partners has grown every year since the inception this program. Natural resource managers across county, state, federal, and tribal partners have expressed that ABC is filling a much needed role in Minnesota forest conservation, implementing projects that otherwise would not be completed. As a driving force in cooperative forest conservation, ABC was also a founding member of the Minnesota Forest Habitat Collaborative (MFHC). The MFHC was created to provide a round table community forum to identify, promote, and deliver collaborative conservation, outreach, and research programs that assist natural resource managers across jurisdictional and ownership boundaries to maintain, enhance, and restore MN’s forest habitat for the benefit of associated resident and migratory wildlife species.

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.

More than half of this is undeveloped wildlife habitat which, thanks to Legacy funding, is now being explored by zoo staff and guests in order to educate citizens about the wild animals and wild places native to our state and the importance of caring for and conserving these resources.BioDiscovery Project This project surveyed and studied the native biodiversity found on the Minnesota Zoo’s undeveloped lands, with help from numerous volunteers, interns, researchers and public participants. The project interacted with the public through the Zoo’s “Be the Biologist” and “Meet a Wildlife Biologist” programs by introducing people to Minnesota’s wildlife and teaching them how to discover biodiversity in their own neighborhoods. Using the Zoo’s website and social media outlets, the BioDiscovery Project shared its discoveries with the public, and provided tools to help Minnesotans discover and learn about local wildlife species.Prairie RestorationTallgrass prairie once stretched from Oklahoma to the Red River Valley.  Today in Minnesota, less than one tenth of one percent of the original prairie is left.  Tallgrass prairie is the only functionally extinct ecosystem on the continent. These grasslands that wildlife depends on provide both habitat as well as a number of ecosystem services.  This ecosystem has the potential to remove and store tons of carbon dioxide per acre per year, mitigating climate change.  Grasslands also store water, reducing erosion and downstream flooding.   The wildflowers in these areas provide habitat for a diversity of pollinators that can pollinate nearby agricultural lands.The goal of this project is to rehabilitate the mown, dysfunctional parking lot berms at the Zoo site to represent one of the three biomes that covered pre-settlement Minnesota; encourage Zoo guests to interact with the Prairie; and educate visitors about this unique ecosystem.",,"Program at a Glance: Zoo Site Habitat and Landscape Projects: •BioDiscovery Project •Prairie Restoration ",,,"Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","In Progress",,,Mary,Robison,"Minnesota Zoological Garden","13000 Zoo Boulevard","Apple Valley",MN,55124,9524319469,mary.robison@state.mn.us,Restoration/Enhancement,"Minnesota Zoological Board","BioDiscovery Project, Prairie Restoration ",,,,http://www.legacy.mn.gov/projects/zoo-site-habitat-and-landscape,,,, 18353,"Zoo Site and Habitat and Landscape",2013,116576,"Laws 2011, 1st Special Session, Chapter 6, Article 4, section 2, Subdivision 7","Laws 2011, 1st Special Session, Chapter 6, Article 4, section 2, Subdivision 7, appropriates $1,500,000 in each year of the FY12-13 biennium to the Minnesota Zoological Board “for programmatic development of the Minnesota Zoo.”","A Zoo site plan has already been developed.

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