The bill appropriates funds for the Saint Paul Neighborhood Network to enhance community engagement through various artistic programs. Specifically, it allocates $125,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $125,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund. These funds will be granted to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Humanities Center to support initiatives in cinematography, lighting, editing, storytelling, documentary filmmaking, and other related artistic endeavors.

This funding aims to amplify community voices and provide educational opportunities in the arts, thereby fostering a richer cultural landscape in Saint Paul. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting local organizations that contribute to the arts and cultural heritage of the community.
