Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.This is going to be a very public interactive planning project. The City already has nine different events scheduled that could be venues used to gather public information about public art so we will take those opportunities to count the number of people that participate at each activity. If we have surveys we will count how many are returned to the City office compared to the number printed.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of this project was to generate community feedback and to inform both short term and long term public art goals. We hired Forecast Public Art as an outside facilitator to plan an interactive method of gathering input from our community. Forecast Public Art proposed a two phase approach: Phase I would be a temporary installation project at the Saulsbury Beach area; Phase II would be an annual project such as a Sculpture Walk or site specific artist residency. This planning project opened new ideas and ways of thinking of public art.
