Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the community of the North Central region of Minnesota will have been exposed to and experienced high quality arts exhibitions that bring a greater awareness and appreciation of the arts through these exhibitions, talking with artists and learning about their process, and through hands-on learning and engagement in arts activities, especially targeting youth who can learn about art through hands-on art projects with accomplished artists. The Board of Directors and Executive Director will be responsible for developing the evaluation methods to measure the success of our project outcomes. Based on experiences in past years, questions and methodologies will be refined to best demonstrate the impact of this project. The Board of Directors and Executive Director will be holding a strategic planning session on March 17th which will be used to develop more specific evaluation methodologies for this project and our overarching goals.
