Each episode of season 2 of STAGE , a broadcast arts program, was hosted by musician and educator Natalia Romero Arbeláez, who also worked with TPT Learn to develop custom educational guides and standards-aligned activities for educators to use with the program. STAGE provides a platform for Minnesota artists, expands access to the arts for audiences, and helps Minnesotans discover artists with whom they might not be familiar.
TPT is committed to creating more digital-first arts, culture & history series that are available to viewers anytime on a variety of non- broadcast platforms, like YouTube and our website, tpt.org. New platforms draw in new and diverse audiences and expand the impact of our storytelling. Launching in early 2023, the digital first history series, Jim Crow of the North Stories , is a continuation of the award- winning, Legacy-funded, Jim Crow of the North documentary.
Relish invites viewers to celebrate the cuisines and cultures of our diverse neighbors through videos, articles and recipes they can make at home, inspiring them to explore their world in a whole new way. More than 70% of featured Relish chefs reported an increased interest or awareness of their work/business, as well as increased sales. Viewer comment: Relish! Fun and educational and warm and engaging. Lifts up diverse stories and voices.
