Minnesota’s Arts & Culture Heritage Fund: The Story of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n

In 2008, Minnesota\u2019s voters passed the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution guaranteeing an additional 0.375% in sales tax revenue until 2034. Nearly 20% of the new funds are dedicated to the arts and cultural heritage fund. This was not only groundbreaking and historic for Minnesota and its citizens, but was a model for other states across the United States. Ken Martin, prior to his current role as chairman of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, was one of the leaders deeply involved in helping make the Legacy Amendment a reality.<\/p>\n

Ken will share his experience of this incredible journey that brought together legislators, advocates, over 300 nonprofit organizations, and countless grassroots efforts representing the citizens interested in land conservation, water conservation, parks and trails, and arts and culture. The Legacy Amendment is now 14 years old. Ken will share his thoughts as to what is next over the next 20 years of this historic effort.<\/p>\n

There comes a point in artists’ lives when they realize a career in their craft is no longer the track they want to pursue. New creative interests take hold, unexpected opportunities present themselves, and changes to life circumstances shift priorities. They may encounter questions like: Now what? What is my next step? How can I get a new job? Career moves are completely normal, and increasingly common, as we all navigate the twists and turns of being a professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this conversation we discuss the different options for professionals to take when switching between arts administration and creative careers. Learn about the challenges and opportunities these career moves have provided professionals and alums who have both gone through these exact switches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
