Minnesota's twelve regional library systems, which encompass more than 350 public libraries in all areas of the state, can benefit from a portion of the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Through State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, each regional library system is eligible to receive a formula-driven allocation from the annual $2.5 million Minnesota Regional Library System Legacy Grant.
Minnesota Children's Museum's mission is sparking children's learning through play. Arts and Cultural Heritage funding will help us to bring our mission to life by creating new dynamic experiences at the museum in St. Paul and engaging communities across the state in playful learning.
The Threads Youth Dance Project is a pre-professional dance training program for youth ages 12-16. It seeks to innovate dance education by welcoming aspiring BIPOC dancers who struggle to find affirming and culturally sustaining spaces to study dance.
