Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, PRLAAC will continue to support arts projects and programming and through new promotional initiatives will increase awareness of and participation in the arts. PRLAAC will implement an annual survey asking the question: in the past year, which arts activity or activities did you attend, and how did you learn about these arts activities' Additionally, survey questions will be asked to ascertain PRLAAC’s role in raising community awareness of the arts through their programming and promotions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of second year CAS funding, the arts council sponsored the MN State Band workshop and concert. 210 students and 132 adults attended. Funding also made it possible to redesign the arts council's logo, incorporating artwork used since 2005 with the Heartland Lakes community brand. Funds also made it possible to refresh the website, enhancing the arts council's own rebranding goals. The website wasn't live until year's end but Google Analytics will be used to track page views.
