Emerging Artist
ACHF Arts Access
My grant activity and capstone event will build new relationships with individuals who have an interest in the Minnesota landscape (farmers, naturalists, people who live in rural areas, and the like) who might not have had much contact with the arts in the past, especially poetry. I plan to have each person fill out a brief survey at my capstone event. The questionnaire will ask if they live in rural Minnesota, their connection to the Minnesota landscape (farming, outdoor activities, photography, etc.), and if they have ever attended a poetry reading or other art event before.
My goal focused on opening up the world of art/poetry to rural Minnesotans who have interest in the land. I achieved this goal by outreaching rural communities and friends/family members interested in my writing and in Minnesota.
