Bois Forte Artist Profiles
All Minnesotans are struggling as a result of the pandemic. But, COVID-19 is hitting Minnesota artists especially hard leaving them with very few venues in which to perform and/or display their work. KBFT's Bois Forte Artist Profiles will showcase artists in their area, significantly increasing exposure of their work which will hopefully increase their opportunity to earn income from the art and music they create.
$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.
An increase in the number of local artists who have their work showcased through public broadcasting. There will be more locally focused content and Minnesota focused content produced and distributed by public radio showcasing Minnesota artists.
