This may be a little late, but it is in response to the Sunday Star Tribune articles comparing the arts activities of the two Mayors.
I have been impressed with our Mayor, he seems to be out and about a lot and always talking up the arts. The idea of a multicultural festival, however, is not about the arts. Too often arts gets lumped into this kind a "feel good, ok if we have a little extra money left over" activity. Here in Northeast we are looking at the arts as a driver for economic development, not a by-product. A multicultural festival would be great, but don't mistake it for anything of substance.
