Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Pilot training an Artist Career Counselor in every region of the state. 2. Pilot the use of distance-learning technology to bring programs to audiences in different regions of Minnesota. 3. Hire our first regional staff member in Minnesota. 4. Pilot how to replicate and support the Community Supported Art program, Artist Access to Healthcare program, Work of Art Curriculum, and Career Counseling outside of the metro area. Work with Improve Group to evaluate programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. We launched the Artist Career Counselor program and learned a lot in the first year. 2. In partnership with Artspace, we provided all of our Work of Art workshops in four greater Minnesota communities. 3. We opened our first satellite office in Fergus Falls to serve the Lake Region and to create artist resources that are distinct to the area. We have provided professional training, a resource center, legal and healthcare services, and other community-based opportunities. 4. We published a toolkit for our popular Community Supported Art program and for the Artists Health Fair model. We completed a comprehensive planning process for evaluation of all our work with the Improve Group. In September 2012, we will launch our first annual artist survey as part of this plan.
