The bill appropriates funds for the nonprofit organization People in Action, focusing on arts and cultural heritage initiatives in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $700,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Humanities Center.
The funding is designated for statewide Somali-based collaborative programs that include arts education, workshops, mentor programs, community presentations, and engagement events. This initiative aims to enhance the cultural landscape and provide opportunities for artistic expression within the Somali community in Minnesota.
