Support the creation and presentation of art in the public sphere related to the theme of climate change. We will quantify the number of relevant projects presented during the year and evaluate their focus. We will survey audiences about their demographics and qualitative responses to our program. 2: Support greater participation of diverse communities in the presentation of art addressing the effects of climate change in and on their communities. We will establish one or more community-based, neighborhood-specific Program Councils for Northern Spark which we will debrief at the end of the process.
Northern Lights.mn supported the creation and presentation of 64 artworks in the public sphere related to climate change by over 400 artists. We used in-person surveys of the audience; post-event surveys of audience, artists, and partners; and post-event interviews with artists and partners to evaluate the impact of the artworks that were created and presented. 2: Northern Lights.mn supported greater participation of diverse communities in the presentation of art about climate change in their communities. We formed a Program Council (PC) of nine artists of color with cultural connections to neighborhoods where NS took place. We debriefed with the PC and Neighborhood Partners. We gathered demographics on artists and audience.
