Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Partnerships are developed between social service organizations and arts organizations to better serve underserved communities. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals. More Minnesotans are able to participate in the arts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to engage businesses, youth and nonprofits in the neighborhood in the project. This is a population we have identified as a group we would like to engage with in a deeper way. We had every transportation team fill out the form as a way to document involvement. 2: This project allowed us to better meet our organization mission which is the following: The Saint Anthony Park Community Council promotes active citizen involvement in local issues, ensures the neighborhood has an effective voice in government decisions, and builds connections in our community. We actively involved the St. Anthony Park community, including new stakeholders, in creating safer streets for bikes and pedestrians through public art. We captured data from community members in a google map that identified problematic intersections in the neighborhood and used that data as a basis for determining site locations for the installations.
