Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.Successful evaluation of this project will come in two parts: 1. An New London Arts and Culture Alliance board evaluation based upon the walls readiness to accept artwork in a timely manner and quality of work performed to create a durable surface. 2. Community input as to the noticeable change and increased interest in the project. The evaluation tool will include a set of questions for the board to answer and a description of the process that will be used to broaden community interest.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1. The wall was converted into a public arts exhibit space that will require minimal physical maintenance and allow for several projects to take place in the coming years. 2. An inaugural community arts project in which over 100 people participated was completed immediately following the creation of the blank canvas.
