Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.A passport survey is filled out by participants to gather information about the quality and experience of the event. An artist survey is filled out after the event by the artists reporting on economic benefits and number or participants. We will also keep track of the number of participants in this year's Meander.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This project was evaluated by two separate surveys and a meeting one month after the completion of the project. We received 42 surveys from artists and 281 passport surveys from attendees. 81% of customers said the quality of the art was excellent. 83% of customers said their overall experience was excellent.
