Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engagement and outreach efforts will be documented and attendance tracked to show where and how many people are being reached through MAC programs. Partner organizations will report how the arts are impacting social outcomes. 2: More Itasca area artists and arts learners will access education, tools, resources, and support for their artistic and professional development. Artist outreach will identify gaps in services and measure artists' satisfaction with existing programs and services at MAC. Informal and qualitative feedback will be solicited through surveys, artist gatherings, and artist interviews.
