Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built.A survey will be distributed to the audience. We will offer a chance to be entered in a drawing for several chances to win Chamber Bucks if audience members fill out the survey.
