Title
Arte en Acción mid-point report.
Body
Action Requested:
The ACC receives a report on the status of the Arte en Acción project.
Summary Report:
Arte en acción is a collective of Latinx artists and activists who live and work in Northfield. At the request of the City of Northfield, they have crafted a multi-faceted public art project that connects community members to one another while placing a special emphasis on uplifting Latinx voices. Their project is designed to encourage the residents of Viking Terrace and members of the Latinx community in general to share their talents and dreams with the larger community of Northfield. Through this project we also intend to produce a report that outlines the needs of the people that can serve as a basis to apply for funds to address these needs.
This project is funded by the City of Northfield’s 1% for the Arts program which designates 1% of major capital project budgets to include public art.
