What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
NORTHERN SPARK: a free all-night arts festival that lights up the Twin Cities each summer. The June 2023 event was smaller than past festival years, due to NL's publicly announced intention to close the organization by 2024. The event functioned as a good-bye for the community, with three public art installations by Twin Cities artists and a memory station that invited audience members to write or record memories of Northern Spark. The event took place at Upper Landing Park in St. Paul, on the banks of Mississippi River; each project related to and honored the water. This program was informed by NL's Artist Council - which is a rotating group of independent artist consultants who work with NL staff to vision, plan, curate and jury the festival each year.
Program 2
Art(sts) on the Verge - for the final act of this 11 year fellowship program for emerging artists working at the intersection of art and technology, NL published a catalog of artist work from the final year of AOV. This full-color booklet was distributed to the artist fellows, program mentors and local institutions.
Program 3
Various innovative and participatory public art projects and events designed to educate and inform the general public and to transform the sense of what's possible in the public sphere, including online. This year's event, the Northern Lights.mn Telethon, engaged 12 artists in the creation of a live event with music, videos, live scripted chat sessions and a kazoo band. Performed at a local, artist-run TV studio, the Telethon was broadcast on You Tube.
