Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue to produce/present a variety of arts encounters patrons value and obtain knowledge from while respecting our regional beliefs and traditions. We will see community relationships grow around arts events. Patrons choose group situations, coming as a service club, block party, or an existing club and to see patrons picking up their chairs and gathering or purchasing blocks of tickets. 2: Increase n the numbers of patrons attending events. An evaluated measurable outcome will be an increase in the number of tickets sold for Fergus Falls Center for the Arts programming.
