Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Albert Lea Art Center, for 57 years, has promoted and educated the arts in our Southern Minnesota area. Through new classes, lectures, special events and exhibitions for all people, of all ages and ethnic groups, we are growing this participation. We will collect attendance numbers, review visitor comments, look for larger membership enrollment, revenues and artist participation, take surveys and photos, and listen to the buzz of conversation and stories that signify a successful event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The participation of a broader variety and a larger number of people in our activities and events. Thanks to better promotion, word of mouth, and unusual exhibition topics and events, we included several people who were first timers to our activities.
