Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participant surveys show that 75% or more of respondents feel less socially isolated and more connected to their cultural community. 85% of participants self-report new skills gained in public art making. CLUES utilizes a wide variety of formal and informal assessment tools to engage community. We will develop surveys for participants and visitors to document feelings of connectedness, safety, and happiness in the new space, as well as through the community workshops. Additionally, ongoing dialogue with participants at workshops will add more nuanced input.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Based on foot traffic patterns, more than two million people were able to view our public art. During the pandemic, over 500 individuals viewed the gallery. We had over 18,000 viewers for our Facebook live and virtual events; comments were very positive. Surveys from artists workshops demonstrated increased connection to CLUES and the wider Minnesota Latino community.
