Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, children, youth and adults will experience a broad range of artistic experiences. Evaluation will occur through observation of audience participants and with direct contact during and after the event with audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 150 children experienced the arts through community theater and art classes during summer 2022. On stage, the performance of "Frozen, Jr." was shown to audience totals of 450 over four days. Our children's art classes gave six weeks of art instruction that ended with an art exhibit in our gallery. We provided live, outdoor concerts to over 300 audience members. Our Writer's Retreat brought attendees from throughout Minnesota and North Dakota to receive professional writing skills.
