Successfully Fuel Curiosity: Mia provides art content that's compelling to our increasingly diverse community. Mia will examine reach and impact of our art collections and programs for audiences, teachers, and students by measuring and evaluating via surveys, focus groups, attendance tracking, etc. 2: Increase Community Engagement: ensure Mia is accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the local community. Mia will evaluate our community engagement through research/analysis, feedback from community listening sessions, and measurably increasing staff cultural competency.
New projects elevated multiple perspectives: Art and Healing exhibit; Your Story, Our Story school partnership; more.artsmia.org site for art content. Education program staff collected feedback from participants and stakeholders at the end of their programs. We measured impact of special exhibitions through surveys. Online analytics were collected for collections and Art Stories pages. 2: Hired Diversity and Inclusion Manager and increased staff cultural competency training. Collected community input to inform strategic directions. Conducted focus groups about membership models, community listening sessions for our building master planning, and annual visitor survey. Staff participated in planning for new directions in diversity initiatives.
