Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A sustainable framework for Creative Placemaking will be developed that will include specific tactics for future Art Block events and planning. Outcomes will be measured by the number of Collaborators participating as well the number of multi-sector conversations held because of the event. Two or more specific conversations will lead to community issues and problem solving. 10,000 people will participate in experiential art opportunities at one of the 20+ locations during Art Block 2020. Two or more activities in Art Block 2020 will be facilitated by members of Eagan's diverse or under-represented communities. Evaluation will be measured by collaborator and audience participation: Increase over Art Block 2019 event. Data collected by all participating collaborators. Increase of collaborators. Evaluation tools will collect participant comments from event locations. Questions will include: "How did you hear about the event?" and "Share Your Art Block Experience." Analytics will be gathered from social media sites and website to gain insight into successful marketing strategies. Staff will evaluate the events that take place to assess the diversity of offerings/media and the accessibility of each event. A post event conversation with all collaborators will be held. Open dialogue will be encouraged.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Of organizations that reported, total attendance was 2,000 across 10 in-person/virtual events that were able to continue. While under goal, it was significant during the pandemic.
