LAKELAND PBS Est. 1980 • lptv.org • Bemidji, MN
Through the direct result of Legacy-funded programming focused on the arts, culture and heritage of Minnesotans, our locally produced programming connects local artists and artisans to the outlying communities throughout north and central Minnesota. These Legacy-funded productions, such as Common Ground , expand Lakeland PBS’ ability to share the talents and stories of northern and central Minnesota’s rural and culturally diverse people. Not only do we ignite new interests and renew commitments to the arts, culture and heritage, we expand the station’s partnerships with artists, artisans, craftsmen, nonprofit and volunteer groups, and other organizations across the region.
“There’s a strong network of arts and culture supporters and promoters in our community, and LPTV plays an important role in amplifying artists and creators, thus connecting us further to one another.” –MPTA Legacy survey participant
“Just want you all to know we absolutely appreciate your originality and we hope we can show these programs to our grandchildren one day! Thank you.” –MPTA Legacy survey participant
