Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Itasca area artists have access to more professional development opportunities close to home. At least 20 Itasca area artists participate in professional development opportunities through MacRostie Art Center. Survey tools will collect qualitative artist responses to the programs. 2: MacRostie Art Center’s programming engages people from all backgrounds in the arts and reaches new constituencies. Increases in members, class registrations, event attendees, and new community partnerships will indicate success. Survey tools will track prior art experience and audience demographics.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Itasca area artists have access to more professional development opportunities close to home. Eight different professional development opportunities were offered; nineteen people participated. Survey responses were overwhelmingly favorable, and having work critiqued was especially noted by artists as an important opportunity. 2: MacRostie Art Center's programming engages people from different backgrounds in the arts and reaches new constituencies. Membership levels remained the same, class registrations increased, and event attendance remained the same. Two new partnerships with non-arts community organizations were initiated to reach broader demographics.
