Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Central Minnesota Artists will gain experience submitting their qualifications and developing public art project proposals. St Cloud neighborhoods will be more likely to employ artists for projects that increase neighborhood engagement and vitality. St Cloud City leaders are more likely to include public art in capital improvement projects. The Saint Cloud Arts Commission will improve its outreach to regional artists.Plans for evaluation include survey, interview and observation. All project participants from City staff, Arts Commission staff, artists, and Neighborhood and Downtown stakeholders will complete some form of evaluation to measure the success of, or methods of improving, the project. Evaluation methods are delineated more completely in the Evaluation section of this request.
