Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Artist/Audience surveys showing greater than 50% in agreement that their ideas of art were changed by the production of or engagement with communal public artwork in unpredictable spaces. Increased year-over-year participant numbers by 10% to expand city brand development and promote tourism as demonstrated by more than 50% of audience members from outside the City of White Bear Lake. Audience and artist surveys will be distributed throughout the event to collect information vital to the effectiveness of the program. All documentation is collected and archived by the Executive Director working with the Board of Directors to assess strategies, revise the program planning manual, review collaborations and make recommendations for the next event to ensure strategic plan and mission alignment.
