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. Grantees change, expand, or enrich the ways they connect to their communities. Minnesotans from groups traditionally underserved by the arts feel they have an authentic relationship to the grantee. Video/Audio Recordings, Survey, Interviews, Observed Behavior Change.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Goals were met through the week-long process of exploring visual arts elements (line, shape, texture, etc.) with clay and objects, building sand molds, and using tools to create the sculptures. Outcomes/goals did not change.
