Subpart 1.
Definitions.
A. "Juried" means a process when an advisory
panel recommends to the board artists of sufficient caliber to be included in a
publication based on a set of written criteria.
B. "Paired artists" means two artists who
want to be juried together and who are listed jointly as a single entry and
whose activity is a collaboration for a single experience.
Subp. 2.
Purpose of juried
listing.
The purpose of a juried listing is to provide a centralized
source of written information about a specific group of artists. Based on a
board review, artists who are included shall have been judged to be qualified
to represent their art form or expertise to the public. The board is not an
agent of any artist or group.
A. The
Minnesota folk artists directory is intended to provide a list of high-quality
folk artists and groups interested in public performance opportunities to be
distributed to arts programmers and others throughout the Upper Midwest, and to
be used as a reference by state and local organizations interested in
presenting the folk arts.
B. The
arts in education roster of artists shall provide a list of artists who
specialize in school and community residency work, offering a balanced range of
arts disciplines, teaching styles, and residency approaches to schools
interested in offering artist residencies.
C. The Arts Across Minnesota touring
directory is a list of nonprofit performing and visual arts organizations in
Minnesota that offer public performances, exhibitions, and community residency
programming. The directory is intended to serve as a reliable source of
high-quality touring organizations and as a reference for Arts Across Minnesota
host community applicants.
