Mount exhibitions and create related programming that help visitors understand their shared cultural and artistic heritage, and that of others. Ensure that no less than 30% of exhibited artists are Minnesota artists. Increase overall attendance by non-members by 10%. Increase attendance at learning moments by 10%. 2: Develop programming to reach past traditional audiences to our area's growing ethnic and immigrant populations, and those of different abilities.
