Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We plan to provide a demonstration of glassblowing to the approximately 5,000 attendees at the St. Anthony Park Arts Festival. We are intending that this will expose the attendees to an art form that they haven't seen before and will instill an appreciation for the skill and creativity of glass artists. We will be asking attendees observing the demonstration at four separate sample times to answer a quick questionnaire that will be designed to assess if the demonstration is the first time they've seen glassblowing, and to assess if their perception and understanding of glass art has expanded as a result of seeing the demonstration.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Based on the counts of attendees at four specific points during the St. Anthony Park Arts Festival, we believe approximately 500 people had an opportunity to see and learn about glassblowing from the Foci Minnesota Center for Glass Arts. Of the audience members who completed a brief questionnaire, 100% felt their perception and understanding of glass art had been expanded!
