Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. Surveys will be handed out during the concerts and staff will tabulate the results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We conducted surveys at two concerts, created and tabulated by a staff member. We received reassurance that people enjoy the variety of programming we offer and will continue to seek quality performers to provide a unique, one of a kind experience.
