Arts and Cultural Heritage Project

From the Minnesota State Legislature homepage: "In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a constitutional amendment, often referred to as the 'Legacy Amendment,' that increased the state’s sales tax by 3/8ths of 1 percent for 25 years . The funds raised by this tax are dedicated to four separate funds that each receive a specific percentage of the revenues: Outdoor Heritage Fund (33 percent), Clean Water Fund (33 percent), the Parks and Trails Fund (14.25 percent), and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (19.75 percent). The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) is a state fund that 'may be spent only for arts, arts education, and arts access and to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage.'"

As a member of the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations (AMPERS), KMSU Radio is one of several organizations in Minnesota that distributes Legacy funding in our community. This has allowed us to fund a wide variety of arts and support the rich creative culture of our listening area. Many of these events and projects would not be possible without Arts & Cultural Heritage Funding, so we'd like to say thank you to the voters of Minnesota for supporting the Legacy Amendment. Your decision has made Minnesota an even more vibrant place to live.

Celebrate Summer and landmark releases from Bob Dylan and Prince!

June 14, 2024 |

Coming up on the Minnesota Music Channel we'll be celebrating the first day of summer on June 20th with some songs suitable for laying out on the beach and working on your tan. That day we’ll also celebrate the release of Bob Dylan’s seminal album Blonde On Blonde. And last but certainly not least, we'll be wearing purple and blasting out some Prince as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain on June 25th (hopefully that doesn't make you feel old!).

You can also find out what is happening in our local music and art community by catching the MMC Weekly Calendar Of Events. It airs Wednesday through Sunday at 10 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. and if you have an event you’d like us to share please contact Shelley Pierce at kmsumnmusic@gmail.com
