Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With this exhibit our audience will not only gain awareness of the work of five distinct Minnesota artists, but will gain knowledge and renewed appreciation of our natural aurroundings through the artists combined expressions in "The Extraordinary Outdoors" exhibit presented by independent curator Tim Peterson. Attendees to the art center will have the opportunity to fill out a short survey rating their experience with the Extraordinary Outdoors Exhibit. The survey will ask guests to list where they live, if they have been to the NAC before, if they were previously aware of the artists' and curator's work and if they gained any new knowledge from viewing the Extraordinary Outdoors Exhibit presented at the Nemeth Art Center.

Measurable Outcome(s)

After reviewing our surveys and guestbooks we brought in new visitors from well beyond our demographics and introduced contemporary art to local residents. We used a survey and guestbook for feedback and comments related to the exhibit. In addition, we reviewed our social media analytics, the board members talked with members, visitors, and artists about their experience which was brought forth to the annual meeting in October.
