Ron West talks with Sue Gens, Executive Director of the Minnesota State Arts Board. The State Arts Board is an executive branch agency in Minnesota state government. Its mission is to stimulate and encourage the creation, performance, and appreciation of the arts in the state. Through its grant programs and other activities, the Arts Board works to achieve the following strategic outcomes: The arts are essential to a vibrant society; the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life; Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are; people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts; people trust Minnesota’s stewardship of public arts funding; and the arts thrive in Minnesota.
