Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life. 2. Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are. 3. People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. 4. The arts thrive in Minnesota. Utilize subjective evaluations, site visits, and follow-up calls.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. CLIMB served preschoolers; elementary, middle, and high schools; colleges; and adults with programs they apply to their daily lives. Audience surveys indicate success. For example, before seeing "Emma and the Allianz Cash Cow," 430 students were asked, "What is interest?" Thirty-seven percent of students answered correctly. After seeing CLIMB's play, 79% of students were able to answer this question correctly. 2. The arts become vital when they help Minnesotans deal with real issues in their lives. CLIMB
