The Dawson-Boyd Arts Association recently received a $4,000 Equipment and Facilities grant from Southwest Minnesota Arts Council for the purchase of a new digital sound board and an input-output rack to accommodate more microphones and more monitors for performing artists. This new equipment increases the capabilities of Memorial Auditorium as a performing space and has already been used in recent productions the auditorium.

This activity is funded in part with a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
