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. They will utilize a parent survey to solicit feedback about family experiences and child outcomes. A post-it note evaluation activity will be implemented with children during the culminating event. An artist survey will be used to solicit artists’ perspectives related to child learning observations and individual impact of the project.
