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.Our primary methods of evaluation will be through surveys of attendees at our performances. We expect to involve and attract over 4,000 individual performers and audience members in this arts experience. We anticipate that 80% will rate the performances “very good” or “excellent.”
