Common Ground PREMIERE: October 6, 2022 OUTPUT: 14 x 30-minute weekly episodes
DESCRIPTION Common Ground explores the unique people, places, and events that surround us here in north central Minnesota. Each week, we take viewers on a journey of exploration into the diverse art, cultures, and history that help to shape and define our communities. IMPACT Common Ground fulfills the goals of Legacy funding by informing, educating, and enlightening the citizens of northern and central Minnesota by exposing them to artists, organizations, and events they might not otherwise be familiar with. Many of the subjects featured over the years have noted that the exposure gained through the broadcasts has resulted in increased sales of their work, or attendance at organized events. Our work highlighting different cultures throughout the region has brought about a new understanding and compassion among viewers, who now have a better understanding of their own neighbors.
Community members watch a screening of Common Ground #1401 at the Park Rapids Armory (Park Rapids, MN).
Attendees talk about what it meant to them to be a part of restoring the school, which will now remain in the community for years to come (Sebeka, MN).
