Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At least 450 artists will participate in Art-A-Whirl, and at least 50% of artists will report the same or more artwork sales compared to the previous year. At least 80% of visitors will report they plan to return to Art-A-Whirl, and at least 50% report purchasing a piece of art during Art-A-Whirl. We will evaluate the event using electronic post-event surveys to attendees, members, and artist participants, and reports provided by Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association board, staff, members, volunteers, and interns. Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association will also evaluate the financial success of Art-A-Whirl based on comparing revenue and expenses to the budget.
