Greetings!

 

In 2008, Minnesota voters approved a constitutional amendment apportioning part of their tax dollars to support the environment and the arts. In 2009, Pioneer Public Television and the rest of the Minnesota Public Television Association (MPTA) was awarded a percentage of these funds to produce, broadcast, and make available online programming about the arts and cultural heritage of Minnesota. 


We want to know how programs like 
PostcardsPrairie SportsmanPrairie Yard and Garden and Our State Parks: Minnesota River Sensations are impacting the choices you're making to support the arts and cultural subjects we feature. If you are a viewer of Legacy supported television programming, please contribute by answering the questions in this survey by Tuesday, January 10 at 5 p.m. Your responses will provide insight into the economic impact of our arts and cultural programming.  Please take 30 seconds to answer this short survey.
