Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Minnesotans learn, grow, or change because they participate in quality arts experiences. Grantee organizations change, expand, or enrich the ways they connect to their communities. Minnesotans from groups traditionally underserved by the arts or the grantee organization feel they have an authentic relationship to the grantee. Stories, Surveys, Interviews, Observed Behavior Change, Data Collection.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to provide quality arts programming at no cost to an underserved area and offer increased opportunities for regional artists to exhibit and gather. We encourage the exploration of new ideas, art forms and self-expression.
