Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Art Shanty Projects builds diversity into the community through the arts by bringing more than 10,000 participants and 100 artists with a broad range of artistic experiences and an increasing diversity of age, origin and arts engagement to Lake Harriet. On-Ice Program presence improves Linden Hills winter business traffic and increases gross sales for restaurants and bars and expands city brand as a year-round destination and hub of arts activities. Artists and audiences alike will experience an expanded notion of the arts through participation. Participants are counted by volunteers located in the parking lot and on the ice. At the end of each day, numbers are compared and averaged to provide a reasonable estimate of attendees. Volunteers stationed near the entrance or inside the Welcome Shanty survey willing audience members about participation experience. An electronic version of the survey is also available online during the program. Artists are surveyed during the planning process and again after the program. Volunteers are surveyed after the program. Sponsors and businesses are asked about their experience and direct outcomes in one-on-one interviews after the event has ended.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Art Shanty Projects supports emerging artists, over 70% of artists and performers reported that their involvement in the On-Ice Program provided them with new opportunities and connections. Over 40,000 people engaged with the On-Ice Program. 70% of visitors reported that this was their first time attending the On-Ice Program, impacting our community of artists and the community of Lake Harriet.
