Art + Culture:
The amendment will provide an estimated $50 million each year for arts, arts education, history and cultural heritage. Funding is expected to be appropriated by the Legislature and Governor to the Minnesota State Arts Board and arts organizations and activities across the state. Until now there has been no direct state funding for arts education. Money from this new pool may also fund Minnesota’s historical societies.
In addition to the articles on this site, you can find more information about arts funding and programs by visiting the Minnesota State Arts Board or Minnesota Citizens for the Arts.
