A wide variety of proposals were funded, including author talks, music and dance performances, theatre workshops and more!

Van Horn Public Library in Pine Island working in concert with the Zumbrota Public Library will receieve $10,681 for a proffessional muralist to draw and paint a library themed mural in the hallway leading down the Children's Library. The muralist will provide presentations to the community that will discuss his artistic process and answer questions from participants.

A survey for VHPL users will be put up shortly so that you can contribute your ideas for images to be displayed in the hallway. Zumbrota Public Library will also be presenting a similar program with the same muralist.

This project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage.
