Minnesota State Arts Board FY 2024 Arts Experiences Program Overview and Application Instructions page 12 paid staff and board members. Describe the specific groups of Minnesotans who will be engaged in the arts activities you are proposing as audiences and/or participants. • How have you determined that the proposed arts activities are right for these audiences and/or participants at this time? How do you know that these are the type of activities the intended audiences and/or participants would value? How have you gathered or incorporated input, or taken into account the needs and interests of the intended audiences and/or participants? • How will intended Minnesota audiences and/or participants find out about the arts programming? • Describe the artists who will lead the arts activities. How are they qualified to lead the proposed activities for the intended audiences and/or participants? If artists have not yet been selected, describe the process and criteria that you will use to select them, and provide some examples of qualified artists you’ve worked with in the past. • Describe the team who is responsible for the design, coordination, and direction of this project. If this is not already addressed elsewhere, explain how the team is representative of the relevant stakeholders (e.g., the program director, executive director, administrative coordinator, and majority of participants identify as Hmong American). Review criterion 3: Underserved populations benefit from the applicant’s arts programming. (12 points) For organizations: The applicant’s board and staff reflect the underserved population(s) the applicant’s arts programming is designed to benefit. For individuals: The applicant has an authentic connection with the underserved population(s) their work is designed to benefit. The following are examples of underserved populations that arts programming might be designed to benefit: residents and communities in greater Minnesota; individuals with disabilities; veterans; individuals in institutions; individuals who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color; LGBTQIA+ communities; older adults. • Describe the demographics of the people that your work has consistently benefitted, and your relationship to any key demographic groups over time, if you have not already done so. Demographics include things that participants or audience members have in common such as where they live, their race/ethnicity, ability/disability, and/or other demographics that are important to your work with that group. • For organizations: Reviewers will see the information that you have provided about your board and arts programming staff on the applicant background form. If there is anything that isn’t captured in that form that you want reviewers to know, please explain here. Note: When answering this question, applicants should focus specifically on board members, and on the staff members that hold decision-making roles in relation to administering the arts programming you provide. • For individuals: Reviewers will not see your applicant background form—please use this section to tell reviewers what you want them to know about the parts of your identity that are significant to you or impact your creative work. Consider things like where you live in Minnesota, your race, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, and/or other parts of your identity you wish to share.
