Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through community outreach and art programming, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum will increase its relevance to Winona area families. MMAM evaluates community engagement through one-on-one conversations, community input in program design, family anecdotes, participant surveys, video interviews, and staff's year-end program analysis.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through virtual art programming and take-home art activity kits, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum maintained its connection to Winona area families. For every pivot MMAM made in the 18-month grant period, it created a new, relevant survey-10 in total. MMAM also received unsolicited online responses from people who participated in virtual programming or art activity kits at home.
