Amy Felegy (she\/her) started working at Arts Midwest in Oct. 2024. Before that, she worked as a digital producer and reporter for Minnesota Public Radio News<\/a>, and carries an extensive background in print and multimedia journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Arts Midwest, frankie (her nickname) keeps stories flowing at the Creativity News Desk<\/a> by connecting with artists and culture bearers in the Midwest and Native Nations within those nine states. She collaborates with the communications team to not only report on these stories but also to photograph, create short-form videos, and assist with social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

frankie draws on her expertise from living, reporting, and existing as an artist across Minnesota and North Dakota, both in rural and urban settings. She has creatively served her communities as a videographer, interim editor, and published poet and photographer. She was also selected to participate in a Socially Conscious and Inclusive Filmmaking Lab<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little more about frankie:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Her favorite thing Arts Midwest does is maintaining focus on the radiance of where we live, the creatives who make it better every day, and the power of art \u2013 and why we can\u2019t live without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

frankie\u2019s favorite Midwestern artists are her creative writing students \u2026 and Chance the Rapper. She is creatively energized by moonlight, films, and typewriters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When frankie isn\u2019t working, she can be found writing even more, organic farming, and attempting to surf the magical Great Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
