Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A broad diversity of Saint Paul community members (all ages, cultures) engage in the literary arts––writing, reading, listening, and exercising arts leadership capacities––in ever larger numbers. We gather and analyze quantitative evidence: numbers of participants and people mentored into leadership roles and qualitative: reflection journals by staff and emerging leaders. 2: Many community institutions in Saint Paul include literary arts experiences. We will record numbers of partners and data collection on participant and partner satisfaction.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 2,500 people participated in our reading, writing, and listening activities. We sold over 1,800 Saint Paul Almanac books and 153 people were published. The book release party was attended by 263 people. We held twelve literary readings with 312 audience members. People of all ages and many ethnicities participated. 2: We held events in more than twelve local businesses and sold books at over 50 businesses. We recorded numbers of partners and data collection on participant and partner experiences with Saint Paul Almanac.
