Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. They will collect data on attendance and ticket sales and survey their audience and members.
