Thanks to funding support from Minnesota’s Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund, also known as the Legacy Fund, Pioneer 90.1 has been able to produce great programming including Minnesota Arts on the Road, featuring MN musicians performing live in our area. Funding also is used for our Write On series, and for our series on the Northwest MN Arts Council to inform you about artistic and cultural events in our community.
Funds also help statewide projects like MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds. Now the state wants your feedback on these programs.
The survey should take about two minutes. There are just four simple questions. This survey may impact future funding for Pioneer 90.1. You can help and you don’t have to provide any personal information. Just click the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment logo below on this page. Thank you for your continued support!
