Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota artists are able to develop business skills needed to support their professional art work. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1) I was able to put my best work online, in video form, for anyone to view. This is vital to my being able to market myself for performances and spread the messages I want to spread. 2) I evaluated this primarily through raw YouTube view counts. 37,000 in under a year (also keeping in mind that the videos were released months apart) is acceptable, and that number will only continue to climb. 2: 1. It's important for me to have my work accessible to all Minnesotans, not just the ones who can come to a show or see me at their school. These videos make that possible. 2. The view count is far too high to just be my current audience-- these videos have allowed me to reach beyond that market.
