Project Overview

Thirteen new episodes of "Common Ground". Common Ground is a series of 30 minute programs that showcase regional arts, history, and cultural events, people, and places of significance throughout northern and central Minnesota.

Common Ground fulfills the goals of Legacy funding by informing, educating, and enlightening the citizens of north central Minnesota by exposing them to artists, organizations, and events they might not otherwise be familiar with. Many of the subjects featured over the past ten years have noted that the exposure gained through the broadcasts have resulted in increased sales of their work, or in attendance at organized events. Our work highlighting different cultures throughout the region has brought about a new understanding and compassion among viewers, who now have a better understanding of their own neighbors.
