Concerts in community centers in five rural Minnesota communities. Collective songwriting session 1-day prior to concert to engage underserved populations. In post-project meetings, we will gauge how host organizations benefited from working with an experienced touring group and develop in song a tribute to their community or special population. 2: Seven Minnesota artists performing before audiences they've never entertained before. Final evaluation will document that all five performances occurred in outstate Minnesota. Each individual artist will submit written expressions of their own unique experiences in each community.
Performances in five rural communities and facilitate collective songwriting workshops and other arts activities to engage underserved populations. We gathered stories/data from artists and site coordinators following each concert and at the completion of our 5-City Legacy Tour based upon a series of open ended questions to be responded to by email and/or direct conversation. 2: Nineurban Minnesota artists performed and facilitated arts experiences in five culturally diverse rural communities affirming the healing power of music.
