Arts and Culture Content
Twin Cities PBS Legacy funded arts & culture content will include, but is not limited to, multiple arts and cultural broadcast and digital series amplifying diverse voices of local artists, community stories, performances, and other content. This collection of new and continuing content will also include robust marketing and social media content, events, and screenings. In support of arts & culture educational outreach efforts, the TPT Learn team will produce educational resources, online media and content, discussion guides, activities and programming based on the Legacy produced arts & culture content. TPT will also collaborate with subject matter experts and community partners to craft culturally responsive initiatives aimed at enriching educators' instructional approaches. Activation will include virtual and in-person professional development workshops, screenings with expert panels, and other events that welcome all Minnesotans interested in using public media to teach, guide, learn and grow.
