Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

It’s the primary goal of this project to highlight people of color who have made contributions to the rich visual art history of Minnesota.  It’s also KMOJ's goal to make sure that these individuals and their work is presented professionally and with the highest quality with the hopes that as a result they will be able to make more money from their work.  An estimated number of listeners for the segments, response from the website campaign and number of Facebook impressions and commints for those posted on Facebook.  We will also post programs on the AMPERS/PRX website and calculate impressions.

  • In the series KMOJ identified visual artists ranging from painters, to sculptures, to graphic artists, who have enhanced the quality of our state through their art
  • The project lasted three months
