Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide significant opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to create new work and present it to the larger community. Pangea will produce new works by playwrights and/or ensembles that center Black, Indigenous and artists of color including immigrant artists. Through surveys we will continue to learn how our work engages with diverse audiences. 2: Cultivate the cultural vitality of local immigrant, Black,Indigenous and people of color communities through artistic and community based programs. While continuing to meet the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 and the Uprising in Minneapolis we will deepen and expand opportunities for collaborations from BIPOC artists and organizations to connect with more audiences on Lake Street.
