Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Regain on-site exhibition and program attendance, maintain virtual programs, and grow on-site and off-site education programs for children. Exhibition attendance and program participation statistics will be maintained for all on-site, off-site, and virtual programs for comparison to pre-pandemic levels.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In-school and on-site school programs grew, virtual offerings increased due to the language program, and, by year-end, attendance was increasing. Statistics will be maintained for all on-site, off-site, online, and virtual programs, for comparison to the most recent pre-pandemic results. Participation in the AAM's Museum-Goers Survey will provide data regarding use and visitor satisfaction.
