Evaluation questions will include: How did the pop-up exhibition successfully connect people to the young professional artists of the area? In what ways did it deepen the audience member’s connection to this place? Through this project we hope to increase the participation of young professional artists by identifying at least 10 artists new to us. We also hope that audience surveys will show that the majority (50% or more) of participants feel more connected to the Saint Croix Valley through their Mobile Art Gallery experience. We rely on local and regional print media and on news and current event blogs focusing on the region. We track both traditional and new media "clippings" and the open/click thru rates on our e-newsletters. Project evaluation begins quantitatively, measuring attendance figures during Mobile Gallery hours and at brown bag conversations. We take note of children and groups for tracking statistics to contribute to our Data Arts profile. Social media engagement is noted as a way to measure virtual “water cooler” discussions. Also, web analytics are tracked. We are curious to find out if the Mobile Art Gallery programming is attracting visitors from the far East Metro and the Twin Cities. To track reach and further invite audience participation, we ask everyone to add a pin to a map posted on the side of the Mobile Art Gallery. Qualitative measures include anecdotal information from visitors, Visual Arts Committee members, and participating artists.
According to a qualitative surveys, the Mobile Art Gallery was successful from the perspective of the artists, the visitors and community partners. All parties concluded an appreciation for the experience and would attend, host or participate in more events in the future.
