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. Surveys will be taken at both shows to find audience preferences and demographics. They will survey their members after each coaching session to see if the sessions had value.
