Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

3:" The capacity of those providing arts experiences is increased or strengthened by changing, expanding, or enriching the ways in which they connect to their communities through the arts." The Pipestone Performing Arts Center's goal is to provide facilities, leadership, and encouragement of the arts through education, advancement, and presentation of a wide range of activities contributing to the enrichment of cultural life for the benefit of all in our community. 4: "Regional artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it." This further advancement of equipment and technology supports not only our venue, but the two resident arts organizations who take residency in our space, and the artists we contract with us in creating, producing and presenting high quality arts activities. 7: "Minnesota's Arts Sector grows in reach and impact through programs and strategies that improve the health and operations of regional arts organizations." We as the PPAC, believe that the continuous advancement of our lighting technology not only carries out our mission locally, but fulfills a goal of Minnesota arts funding. To measure the goals of the new lighting technology, we will ask our technical staff to provide us interpersonal reflection on the effectiveness of the technology. We will also reach out to our residency groups for feedback on the quality and ease of use of the light instruments.
