Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Northern Artist Association will provide public exposure to the arts and an opportunity for community members to participate in the arts through classes and workshops at Gallery North. The Northern Artist Association will keep a count of visitors to Gallery North and our web site. We will also keep a count of participants in our workshops and classes as well as a list of all community and charitable activities in which the gallery participates.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Annual visitors to the Gallery North had a slight decrease, but the website had an increase of 8,350 visits. Many workshops and classes were provided to community members in various media during the year. A monthly open house in conjunction with Bemidji’s First Friday Art Walk featured guest showcase artists and demonstrations to provide exposure to the arts to the public.
