Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By making improvements to our website and effectively marketing it, we will be able to provide an easy to use, up to date calendar of arts and culture related events in our area and provide better access to participation in the arts in Minnesota. We will measure outcomes through data collection - tracking website traffic, attendance at events and evaluating the number of new events that look to Cannon Arts Board for assistance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to accomplish the first step towards our goal of developing a website with a calendar of events. The next step will occur in the spring when we hang light post banners downtown, celebrating the arts and advertising our website.
