Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To increase awareness of the art of photography. Teach people of all ages the art of photography. Attract people of all ages to the art event. To do find out what other exhibits people are interested in seeing at the museum. To find out how we can better serve our constituents. Increase attendance to the special events offered at the museum. We will have a host greet the visitors who visit the art exhibit. The host will welcome them to the event, pass out surveys and have them sign the guest registry. We will have a suggestion box for the visitors to deposit their survey in and to make any other suggestions on how we can improve. Additional surveys will be given to Lac qui Parle County Historical Society Board members, churches who participated, students who took the photography class, Kelly Lund and Gene Stukel.
