Not too much discussion on this list about arts in Mpls, I was surprised there was nothing about the Mary Tyler Moore statue. But I did attend a great meeting with the new Arts Commission. I think there was a lot of energy in the room, they had to bring in more chairs to accomodate everyone.
R.T. wants to fund and promote multi-cultural arts festivals or events. The discussion centered around defining "multi-cultural," does it includes the gay and disability communities? What about klezmer music? The Mayor's aide used to be on the Commission so I think it will really have some impact on funding, although the Mayor admitted that the little money there was, will probably be even less now.
