Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The proposed programs provide access by engaging 3 audiences – families, students and adults - with free educational programming led by a high quality Minnesota artist. These activities encompass a new exhibition, new program, new residency and an enhancement to an existing community event.The Minnesota Marine Art Museum will evaluate this exhibition and its programs both qualitatively and quantitatively. This is done by tracking numerical data soliciting feedback from visitors and participants, communicating with program partner, and utilizing the Museum's internal evaluation systems.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The museum aimed to increase the quality of arts experiences for the community, to connect learners with teaching artists, and provide relevancy in its exhibitions and programs. Faust helped increase the quality of Winona's family art day, meaningfully connected with Winona State students, and since his work is of a high quality and directly inspired by the upper Mississippi environment, the exhibition was inspiring, relevant and connected to our mission.
