Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans have access to the arts; building community through grass-roots arts-centered programming. We will evaluate our goals by reviewing audience surveys, box office statistics, audience reaction to performances, critical review, peer feedback, board evaluation, community partner and artist evaluation.
Measurable Outcome(s)
There were 294 total audience members, which includes 73 children. The Hosts have the primary audience-gathering responsibility, and there is always a wide range of success. This year all the hosts were new to hosting, and in all the company had a successful tour, meeting its audience and financial goals.
