Minnesota Arts Legacy FundIn November 2008, Minnesota voters approved a constitutional amendment to dedicate funds for Minnesota’s Outdoor Heritage, Clean Water, Parks and Trails, and Arts and Cultural Heritage. Under the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) Minne-sota’s 300+ public libraries receive funding distributed through the Minnesota Region-al Library Systems to provide programs and services in four areas: arts, culture, literary and Minnesota history.

The Arrowhead Library System and its member libraries present a variety of arts, cultural, literary, and Minnesota history programs in collaboration with arts and cultural organizations, independent artists, historical societies, and community organi-zations.
