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 is able to use this funding to support a wide variety of events to create broadcast content for the community. 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 Fountaineers were founded in 2021 by director Shelley Pierce. The group is made up of area volunteers with a love of radio drama. Their first six productions were the George Romero zombie classic Night of the Living Dead, Ed Wood's classic Plan 9 From Outer Space, William Castle's House on Haunted Hill, and the original anthology of Completely in the Dark Theater. J.P. Mackey's The Dark Flamingo, and the holiday classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Please join the Fountaineers KMSU Radio Drama Troupe on Facebook for information about future productions.

This production was made possible with funding from the Minnesota State Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
