Project Overview

826 MSP will expand school partnerships in two keyways: 1) add a new 6-8 week in-school workshop program where 826 MSP staff and volunteers facilitate antiracist creative writing units in elementary and middle-school classrooms; 2) expand community engagement work through the addition of Whole-Family Workshops, in partnership with local schools and community organizations. This project uniquely preserves and honors Minnesota's cultural heritage by empowering BIPOC communities, facilitating antiracist humanities programming, expanding publishing models, exploring multimedia publications, and performance art partnerships with local museums or other organizations.
