Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Broaden exposure to diverse cultures and traditions in communities that have little access to high-quality, global performing arts opportunities. We will solicit feedback and conduct follow-up conversations with students, teachers, community partners, and the artists; and compile quantitative data on community-artist interactions. 2: Build the capacity of our partner organization to use this residency model in the future so residents maintain access to the arts in local venues. We will measure new and sustained partnerships with local schools, continued programming featuring international ensembles, and evidence of new/increased local support for the organization.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Arts Midwest broadened Minnesotans' exposure to diverse cultures and traditions by touring two international musical ensembles to Red Wing, Minnesota. Arts Midwest's partner in Red Wing, the Sheldon Theatre, submitted a final report detailing event attendance, activity schedule, financials, and a narrative noting meaningful connections, any residency challenges, and how the community was engaged. 2: Our community partner cultivated partnerships with local schools, organizations, and funders, and engaged new audiences through the residencies. The Sheldon's final report included narrative regarding audience reach and new partnerships formed with local schools, other organizations, and funders. We will also monitor the Sheldon's future programming to track future international programming.
