Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Madonna Towers will for the first time have local artwork hanging to ponder and enjoy. This has not been available to the residents who live there in the past. This projects economically supports several Southeastern Minnesota artists that will not have this opportunity available to them without this funding.Madonna Towers will measure the outcomes with a survey and interviews with some open-ended questions. They will be inviting residents, community members and friends of residents to participate. Madonna Towers staff will also document conversations about the art that they overhear during everyday activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Provided income to ten local artists by purchasing 12 pieces of artwork through the grant, hanging the artwork in the campus center for resident and visitor viewing, highlighting the artists at an event to honor them which allowed them to sell their art at the event.
