Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. We will collect data and compare it to data from previous years to determine if our attendance at performances, membership in the orchestra, and any other ways of attracting more Minnesotans to our art form is increasing or decreasing.

Measurable Outcome(s)

"Provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans." We strive to increase our audience participation each year and we did increase this year by 47.
