Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: COOL CATS A BENEFIT FOR COMO PARK ZOO & CONSERVATORY HOSTED BY COMO FRIENDS 1 WELCOME TO TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: COOL CATS Dear Friends: Lynette enjoys her Saturday mornings helping to prepare enrichment items for Como’s Large Cats as well as assisting with family education classes, such as “Big Cat Breakfast” - teaching the next generation about the wild and precious animals that share our natural world. Like so many other Como volunteers, we both wish we could invite everyone we know behind-the-scenes at Como to see the tremendous care that goes into everything from keeping these magnificent lions and tigers healthy, to cultivating the gorgeous gardens around this campus. The more we’ve come to know about Como, the more committed we feel about keeping it free and fabulous long into the future. Tonight our wish comes true, as more than 500 guests—a new record for this summer gala—will have the rare opportunity to explore Como after hours and learn about what it takes to keep this turn-of-the century treasure growing strong. The amazing pace of progressive improvements our community has applauded—from the beautiful new Ordway Gardens wing, to both the award-winning Gorilla Forest and Polar Bear Odyssey exhibits– have only been possible because of private contributions from people like you. Your bids tonight for more than 300 silent auction items and gifts toward our fund-a-need donation make a difference at Como every day, providing chicken drummie treats for our large cats, free admission for nearly two million visitors, and family friendly conservation programs that reach more than half a million kids and adults every year.

The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund November 2019
The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund November 2019 Overview The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund is a state fund dedicated to arts, historical, and cultural programs. These funds are awarded by the Minnesota Legislature to a variety of public and private entities. The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund is one of four “legacy” funds created by a constitutional amendment approved by the voters in 2008. The amendment increased the state’s sales tax to provide additional funding for outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage. This publication provides basic information about the fund, the amount of money that has been appropriated, what the appropriations have been used for, and the entities that have received funding. The “Legacy Amendment” and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund What is the “Legacy Amendment”? 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 (Minn. Const. art. XI, § 15). 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 amendment requires that the funds “supplement traditional sources of funding for these purposes” and prohibits the funds from being used as a substitute. What is the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF)? 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” (Minn.
