Arts and Cultural Heritage Project

From the Minnesota State Legislature homepage: "In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a constitutional amendment, often referred to as the 'Legacy Amendment,' that increased the state’s sales tax by 3/8ths of 1 percent for 25 years . The funds raised by this tax are dedicated to four separate funds that each receive a specific percentage of the revenues: Outdoor Heritage Fund (33 percent), Clean Water Fund (33 percent), the Parks and Trails Fund (14.25 percent), and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (19.75 percent). The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) is a state fund that 'may be spent only for arts, arts education, and arts access and to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage.'"

As a member of the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations (AMPERS), KMSU Radio is one of several organizations in Minnesota that distributes Legacy funding in our community. This has allowed us to fund a wide variety of arts and support the rich creative culture of our listening area. Many of these events and projects would not be possible without Arts & Cultural Heritage Funding, so we'd like to say thank you to the voters of Minnesota for supporting the Legacy Amendment. Your decision has made Minnesota an even more vibrant place to live.

The Minnesota Music Channel

KMSU is thrilled to announce the arrival of its long awaited Minnesota Music Channel! You can stream The MMC beginning April 1st via the KMSU streaming app, available for Apple and Android devices, or through kmsu.org.

The Minnesota Music Channel is entirely devoted to the rich musical culture and history that The Land of 10,000 Lakes has produced. You'll hear songs both old and new from all across Minnesota drawn from the dense music library that The MMC has been building. The end result is a playlist that is intensely listenable, and just as diverse as the state it comes from.

What would you like to hear on the channel? Are you a performer with music you'd like to share? Contact us at kmsumnmusic@gmail.com with suggestions or links to download your music (high-quality WAV or MP3 preferred). All music must be FCC-compliant to be suitable for airplay!
