Arts and Cultural Events
Year-long participation, programming, promotion and coverage of Duluth and Northern Minnesota arts and cultural events through programming, photography, web and social media - with particular attention to Minnesota cultural legacies. KUMD partners with significant Duluth events like John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon, 8-day Duluth Dylan Fest, Honor the Earth Festival, Lake Superior Harvest Festival, The Park Point Art Fair, Norshor Theater original shows, Community Festivals and others. Most of our major events happened before the coronavirus shutdown. We covered virtual versions of canceled in-person events.
$1,775,000 the first year and $1,700,00 the second year are to the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations for production and acquisition grants in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 129D.19.Of this amount, $75,000 the first year is for the Veterans' Voices program to educate and engage communities regarding veterans' contributions, knowledge, skills and experiences with an emphasis on Korean War veterans.
More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and incomes will have have access to Minnesota art and music. More Minnesota artists and musicians will have their work showcased through public broadcasting and will benefit from increased exposure. This project will result in an increase in locally and Minnesota-focused content produced by public radio.
