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.

SPOTLIGHT ON MINNESOTA SURF MUSIC (10:00 a.m. - noon)
At 10 a.m. we'll hear an interview Shelley Pierce had with Midwest music historian and author Tom Tourville and KMSU radio show host John Kass about Minnesota surf music in the 1960's. You'll discover our state's fervent love of surf music – remarkable considering that we're thousands of miles away from the ocean. This two-hour special also features an hour of music from the bands discussed in the interview. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your Fourth of July. If you miss out on this special, it will be airing again at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the MMC.

Listen live at 89.7fm/91.3fm/kmsu.org or via the KMSU app for Apple and Android devices.
