Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. The quality and types of arts education and learning opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts learning are identified and addressed. We will be creating, distributing, and collating the results of surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The entire project is not completed, only phase 1, so a survey has not been completed. There has been much discussion with the planning group, the artist, and contributors that the survey will be done at the end of the Phase 2, when the project is complete and the community is more involved in the painting and able to see the mural displayed.
