    Media Arts in Minnesota: Potential impacts of collaboration
    (Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, 2014-05-08) Ferber, Nancy; McKennan, Patrick; Sindberg, Kari; Tade, Susan
    The evolution of the media and arts has, particularly in recent decades, demanded an increase in collaboration between individuals and organizations in arts communities all over the world. Increased commercial rent, economic instability and cultural shifts have influenced the way artists and arts organizations function in today’s environment. Collaborative models are attractive to arts communities for their practicality and added value. The proposed media center collaboration in Minnesota has the potential to create opportunity and economic stability within the media arts community of the twin Cities. Our research team addresses the potential opportunities and challenges of a collaboration through this analysis, referencing the research question: How can these four organizations collaborate and best manage the collaboration?

    Public Art Participation Process Proposal
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Ferber, Nancy; Krantz, Michael; Garnaas-Holmes, Eric; Su, Hang
    This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. Looking to create more resident interest in a public art plan, the City of North St. Paul was hoping to develop a public participation process plan around public art. Project lead Jon Fure collaborated with students in Dr. Carissa Schively Slotterback’s PA 5253: Planning Participation Processes course to develop a participation plan. The students outlined their engagement approach, identified stakeholders, and offered an engagement timeline. This is one of two projects completed on this topic in this course. The final report and poster are available.
