Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, East Grand Forks community members will participate in and experience a variety of arts programming, allowing them to learn from and connect with professional artists from across Minnesota. Evaluation will occur through participant and artist questionnaires, count of audience members, and informal interviews with participants and participating artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because of the Arts in Action project, East Grand Forks community members were able to learn from, connect with, and participate in a variety of arts programming. Through the use of questionnaires, observations, and informal interviews, we learned that East Grand Forks Community members developed arts skills and continued to use those skills, they connected with artists and other arts organizations, and had meaningful arts experiences.
