Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota musicians are supported economically and artistically. This outcome will be measured by the number of paid opportunities MMC musicians are engaged in through our work (as well as MMC budget expenses allocated to artist fees), and the number of professional development/education workshops offered. 2: Rural, suburban, and urban music communities have opportunities to connect in spaces that welcome all. This outcome will be measured by the number of activities (performance, networking, education, etc.) offered throughout the state and by measuring how musicians self-identify by geographic home.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota musicians were supported economically and artistically. MMC tracked paid performance opportunities through the booking program (314 performances), and the funds paid out to musicians: $109,985, cumulatively. MMC held 17 workshops and panels, adding most to our Youtube channel for future viewers. 2: Rural, suburban, and urban music communities had opportunities to connect in spaces that welcomed all. MMC tracks member city of residence, and region that program activities are held in. This year we held programming in 6 arts council regions, and implemented zoom and livestreamed content to be available in any geography.
