Minnesota Public Radio Programming and Projects Supported by Minnesota Legacy Amendment's Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund

Minnesota Public Radio is the state's largest cultural organization, providing 96 percent of the population with free access to some of the best broadcast cultural programming in the world. We're very pleased to have been awarded a grant from the 2012 Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Competitive Public Radio Grants process, and we're using the funds awarded to implement projects around the following four goals:

* Promotion of Local Arts and Culture
* Presentation of Local Arts and Cultural Performances
* Contributions to Local Arts and Cultural Education
* Preservation and Promotion of Minnesota's History and Cultural Heritage

Project descriptions and budgets for all current Minnesota Public Radio projects supported in part by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Highlighted Project: Minnesota Varsity from Classical MPR

Minnesota Varsity is a high school-level Classical music showcase for classical and musical theater performance students from Minnesota.

Starting March 5th, each Featured Round artist will have their very own day to shine on Classical MPR; once in the 7am hour, and again in the 4pm hour. Additionally, between March 12-18, listeners will get to vote for their favorite performer at classicalmpr.org/varsity.

Here's a video about the Varsity experience:
